Hymns, Hip-hop, Henry and your Health
There’s more to music than meets the ears. If you’re anxious, depressed, fatigued or in pain, you might consider a dose of tunes to ease you back to health. Music does something beyond our understanding. We can call it an endorphin release or a distraction, but it goes much deeper than that. Somehow music just does us good. And the good it does was just proven to be even better.

It is a tower crane that will help to construct the new Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center facility. At 300 feet tall with a wing span of 255 feet, it’s hard to miss. It’s also bright yellow.

Tackling med school while being tackled
On May 10, Beau Kildow received his medical degree at UNMC’s spring Omaha commencement. It will likely be his greatest highlight at Ralston Arena. Likely be? Well, there was that game-winning touchdown earlier this season. Kildow, who matched at Duke and is headed for a residency in orthopedics, spent his last two years of medical school also playing professional indoor football for the Omaha Beef.
