English stoner rock giants ORANGE GOBLIN are the latest name to be added to the stunning 10th anniversary Damnation Festival bill.
They'll be joined by black metal quartet WINTERFYLLETH and post-punk outfit OCTOBER FILE, with both bands airing material from their new albums at Leeds University Union on Saturday, November 1.

Orange Goblin said: "Over the last few years, Damnation has cemented itself into one of the UK's leading metal festivals, so it is a great honour to be asked back to play for a second time.
"It is already a great line up of bands, and we can't wait to be part of it."
Winterfylleth added: "We are proud to announce we will be playing Damnation Festival once again in 2014.
"The response we had in 2012 was mind blowing and we hope to see you all there once again.
"Damnation is a festival we always attend as fans regardless of playing and a must for all serious metal fans.
"We have a new album out a few weeks before the festival, so will be playing some exclusive new material for the first time on the day."
And October File said: "We are over the moon to be playing what is becoming one of the most important and special events in the UK.
"Damnation has worked hard to forge a name that is a must for fans and underground talent."
The line-up for Damnation Festival so far includes: Bolt Thrower, Cannibal Corpse, Saint Vitus, Raging Speedhorn, Orange Goblin, Anaal Nathrakh, Ahab, Revocation, Solstafir, Winterfylleth, H A R K, October File, Bast, Atlantis and Corrupt Moral Altar, with many more bands to be announced across four stages.

Five More Bands For Damnation Festival 2014 Posted:25th June, 2014
German doom titans, AHAB, and Icelandic progressive metal outfit, SOLSTAFIR, are the latest names to be added to the tenth edition of Damnation Festival.
The headline set will be an exclusive UK performance by Ahab and the first the band have played outside London, while Solstafir arrive in for their debut UK festival show in support of their stunning new album Otta.
They will be joined at Leeds University Union on Saturday, November 1, by Welsh heavy-rock trio H A R K, Dutch post-metallers ATLANTIS and London's blackened doom three piece BAST.
Ahab said: "We're delighted to celebrate our 10-year anniversary with the only Ahab UK Show 2014 at Damnation Festival.
"Headlining the doom stage is an honour and a great birthday present for us!"
Solstafir revealed they are "stoked" to be part of Damnation's tenth anniversary show: "We picked Damnation Festival for our debut UK festival performance, after countless offers from other UK festival promoters, so what better way to celebrate Damnation's 10th anniversary than joining us in Leeds?
"And you even get to see Bolt Thrower. We're stoked"
JimBob of H A R K added: "Damnation has to be one the UK's best festivals, so we're over the moon to be added to such a great lineup. We've been taking 'Crystalline' out all across Europe since its release, and can't wait to show the amazing Damnation crowd what we've got. This will be a great day."
And Glison Hetinga of Atlantis said: "Playing Damnation Festival is something that we as a band always wanted to do. So being invited for this year's edition is an great honour."
Bast are also looking forward to playing Leeds for the first time.
The band said: "As patrons and fans of Damnation in previous years, it's with particular honour and excitement that our inaugural performance in Leeds be at the festival's 10th anniversary – being part of a line-up that's already promising to be one of the most memorable in recent times."
The latest additions bolster a stunning four-stage bill already brimming with some of finest music on the planet, including an exclusive Bolt Thrower UK show, Cannibal Corpse headline set, St Vitus playing 'Born Too Late' in full and the much-anticipated return of Anaal Nathrakh and Raging Speedhorn.

text: I think Denver needs to draft a KR/PR prospect. Obviously, Eddie Royal is stellar, but I am worried about his life expectancy if he stays in that role. JJ Arrington will handle KR duties. So, my guess is that they would prefer to draft a CB who has PR skills. They could also draft a WR or RB, but at RB they are pretty full considering that they will probably only keep 4-5, and I think that they need a tall deep threat type at WR for the #6 WR spot. Does anyone have a good list of CB prospects with PR ability? I apologize if a post has already been made to MHR about this subject and I missed it. Thanks!

There is a childhood obesity epidemic in America. About 27 percent of kids 2-5 years old are obese.
Doctors recommend that kids under six get at least three hours of physical activity a day to prevent obesity.
A University of South Carolina researcher looked at three major worldwide studies on childhood obesity.
There was one clear theme: kids under the age of six should be getting up and moving three times a day.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) — Newly minted MBA recipients can likely expect a busy, financially rewarding career, albeit one filled with long hours at the office.
That is, unless you're a women with an MBA from an elite university. In that case, there's a good chance you'll pull back on any aggressive career path, at least compared with women earning MBAs from "less selective" colleges and universities.
That's the conclusion drawn from a Vanderbilt University study managed by economics professor Joni Hersch that says women earning MBAs from the nation's best schools are more likely to stay home and raise children than other women in the workforce. Overall, 60% of female graduates from so-called elite schools work full time, compared with 68% from other colleges and universities.

"Even though elite graduates are more likely to earn advanced degrees, marry at later ages and have higher expected earnings, they are still opting out of full-time work at much higher rates than other graduates, especially if they have children," Hersch says.
For most white-collar female workers, the child care question is paramount, she says. Among those elite business school graduates cited in the study, married females without kids are more likely to curb their work hours or even pull out of the workforce altogether.
"Married MBA mothers with a bachelor's degree from the most selective schools are 30 percentage points less likely to be employed full-time than are graduates of less selective schools," Hersch says.
The full-time employment rate for U.S. mothers with an MBA is 35%, but that jumps to 66% for those "less selective" colleges.

It's down to the final four at the inaugural edition of the Canadian Mixed Doubles Trials national curling championship.
The inaugural edition of the Canadian Mixed Doubles Trials national championship got underway on Thursday with some big numbers being put on the scoreboards at the Leduc Recreation Centre in Leduc, Alta.
A pair of favourites from the east coast's competitive curling ranks advanced to the 2013 Scotties Tournament of Hearts with victories in provincial play Sunday, Jan. 27.
Big-name curlers are unfailingly generous with their time both on and off the ice, especially when it comes to supporting a good cause. Many fans of our sport are familiar with the CCA's Charity of Choice, the Sandra Schmirler Foundation, and have recognized high-profile athletes on TSN Telethons over the years, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to support the care of premature and critically ill babies in hospitals across Canada.

Love the overall 1 seed. Really thought UNC would get it. But I like the nod. Probably doesn't really matter as long as we get dayton/indy. We've got a lot of good teams in the bracket, obviously, but it's the NCAAs, good teams are everywhere. I won't begin to complain.
So my only complaint is that now we've got the ESPN crews' collective slobber on our man parts. And I like it better when they are hating, though you wouldn't know it by my constant bitching. The good news is that everyone picks UNC to take the championship, so we've still got something big to motivate us.

Soccer's Big Takeover
Some stunning statistics here. 10% of Americans are avid soccer fans first and foremost (NFL: 25%, NBA: 14.4%, MLB: 19.9%). The researcher projects global soccer to grow 3-4 times bigger than it is now, and MLS's fanbase to triple, all within a generation. Most importantly? Soccer is the second biggest sport among kids. The future is bright.

What a difference a few days makes with ice cover on Lake Michigan, especially when some of them are sunny and warm.
On Saturday, the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory reported ice on Lake Michigan hit a record of 93.29 percent, breaking the 93.1 percent record set in 1977.
By Tuesday morning, ice cover on Lake Michigan had dropped more than 17 percent to 76.1 percent.
While Lake Michigan broke an all-time ice coverage record, the Great Lakes as a whole have come up short. On Thursday, coverage hit a high of 92.2 percent, second only to the 94.7 percent high hit in 1979. On Monday, the most recent day date is available, the total had dropped to 83.9 percent.

Albany- Shenna Williams and her 10-month old son, Michael Jerrod Moffitt, Jr. have been local celebrities since last June. But things changed when a national talk show contacted them.
Shenna says, "They sent a letter in the mail to my mom and she brought it to my job and she showed it to me. I was hollering and screaming I was so happy."
During a late-night shopping trip to Wal-Mart last June, the unexpected happened. Shenna gave birth to Michael on the floor of the store. In April, Shena, her mom and Michael flew to New York to appear on the Montell Williams Show about unusual deliveries.
Shenna says, "We stayed at the Belvedere Inn, and we had limo rides and taxi rides. I had never been in a taxi." Shena says all of the first class treatment they received in the Big Apple made Michael a little star struck.
She adds, "He looked like he was shocked. He had little tears, and everybody was clapping and then Montell grabbed him, and he started reaching for me." Appearing on Montell was a once in a life time opportunity according to Shenna, and she says it's all because of her son.
She says, "He's my first child and I love him." Now, a Montell T-Shirt and autographed picture will always remind them of their talk show debut. When the show airs, their family, including their dog, Buddy, will be watching.
Shenna's story was featured in the March and April issues of People Magazine. You can watch Shena's story Friday on the Montell Williams Show. The show begins at three.

learning a language
Terry and I took the same bus to school each day, he teaching at the university, I as an English instructor at the Teacher Training College of Abidjan. We both spoke French fluently, and had been placed in a dioula class during training, resulting in our enjoying chatting, both in French and dioula, in the bus with the regular early-morning passengers. As we got to know our fellow commuters a bit better, they took an interest in us and began to teach us some local slang. When someone asked if we earned a substantial salary, we answered "wari t'en fe" (I have no money). A friend, noting we were talking like a book, jokingly corrected us, indicating we should say "wari t'en kunh" (I'm broke). Terry and I loved that our friends were including us in their culture and that everyone was having a good time. One day, however, a new passenger got on the bus, a very well-dressed African none of us had ever seen on this particular run. When he spied Terry and me, assuming we were well-to-do French businessmen or perhaps tourists, he began to berate us, accusing us of being too cheap to use our own cars. Everyone in the bus was dead silent during his tirade. When he finally finished his tongue-lashing, I replied to him "wari t'en kunh"... Everyone in the bus - except for one person - burst out laughing and hooting. Very embarrassed, the gentleman got off at the next stop, leaving us with a great story to tell later that day.

Over the past several years our community has adopted a tradition of celebrating the changes of the seasons. These are called nyida days, from the Tibetan words nyima ("sun") and dawa ("moon"). Nyida days occur on or near the days of the equinoxes and solstices. All four nyida days are regarded as family-oriented celebrations. Harvest of Peace, held around the time of the autumn equinox, is an opportunity for local communities to gather, hear teachings by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, and celebrate the riches of our local cultures and heritage. The Sakyong addresses the international community through a broadcast to the Shambhala Centers around the world.

Menomonie (WQOW) -- Before departing for Madison, Wednesday, the Elmwood boys basketball team practices Tuesday afternoon at UW-Stout.
There's a lot of excitement in the town of Elmwood this week, because the Raiders are headed to the WIAA state tournament for the first time since 1996.
Elmwood is getting ready for a Division 5 semifinal Thursday against perennial power Randolph. The Raiders hope that their time at Johnson Fieldhouse will help them acclimate to the college-sized court and arena-style baskets that they'll see at the Kohl Center.
"It's starting to feel more natural now," says Elmwood head coach Chris Segerstrom, "I think a few days after its kind of been one of those weeks where its been hectic and chaotic and a lot going on. I'm telling the guys to let it soak in. Enjoy the moment and take it all in, and they really are, but they know that we're going down there for business as well. So we're really starting to prepare for the next game against Randolph."
"We had our time to celebrate," says Raiders senior forward Logan Wolf, "it was awesome. But now we're looking right ahead to Randolph. Looking at the film, looking at what they have, what's their tendencies and what not, and we're just getting ready to play."
Randolph, Elmwood's semifinal opponent, is a nine-time WIAA state champ, and is making its ninth trip to Madison in the last twelve years.
"Randolph, they're going to run the swing offense," says Segerstrom, "they're going to be very patient, they're going to get quality shots, they're fine holding the ball with good possessions, and we've gotten better at that, however, we've going to try to go up, get a little faster, go up-tempo, and hopefully get our guys into the open floor a little bit more. I like our chances."
"We just gotta do the little things right as a team," says senior point guard Eli Fredrickson, "not turn the ball over, and get quality possessions."
"We're going to have nerves, obviously, it's at the Kohl Center which is going to be awesome," Wolf says, "but there's the moment where you've gotta focus in and do what you need to do on the floor, and it is basketball, we need to go out there and play to the best our ability."
Elmwood and Randolph will tip it off at around 3:15 P.M., Thursday. You can watch the game live on WQOW 18, online at www.wqow.com, or on your mobile device. News 18 Sports Director Bob Bradovich has the play-by-play call, with Madison Edgewood head coach Chris Zwettler providing color commentary.

North Platte High School Standout named GATORADE Nebraska Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year
CHICAGO (January 16, 2014) — In its 29th year of honoring the nation's best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company, in collaboration with USA TODAY High School Sports, today announced Wyatt McGuire of North Platte High School as its 2013-14 Gatorade Nebraska Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year. McGuire is the first Gatorade Nebraska Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year to be chosen from North Platte High School.
The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the racecourse, distinguishes McGuire as Nebraska's best high school boys cross country runner. Now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year award to be announced in January, McGuire joins an elite alumni association of past state award-winners in 12 sports, including Ryan Hall (1999-00, 2000-01, Big Bear HS, Calif.), Derek Jeter (1991-92, Kalamazoo HS, Mich.), Candace Parker (2001-02, Naperville Central HS, Ill.), Kevin Garnett (1992-93, Maudlin HS, S.C.), Abby Wambach (1997-98, Our Lady of Mercy, N.Y.) and Mark Sanchez (2004-05, Mission Viejo HS, Calif.).
The 5-foot-11, 130-pound senior raced to the Class A individual state championship this past season with a time of 15:26.6, earning the state's fastest all-class time in 2013. A two-time First Team All-State selection, McGuire also won the Greater Nebraska Athletic Conference meet, crossing the line in 15:15, and the Class A District 2 meet with a time of 16:02.73.
McGuire has maintained a 4.0 GPA and is ranked first in his graduating class. A member of the National Honor Society and a percussionist in his school's concert band, he has volunteered locally on behalf of Habitat for Humanity.
"Wyatt McGuire is a leader and an exceptional young man," said North Platte High head coach Dennis Forander. "His work ethic and dedication to the sport and his community is unmatched."
McGuire remains undecided upon a collegiate destination.
The Gatorade Player of the Year program annually recognizes one winner in the District of Columbia and each of the 50 states that sanction high school football, girls volleyball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, baseball, softball, and boys and girls track & field, and awards one National Player of the Year in each sport. The selection process is administered by the Gatorade high school sports leadership team in partnership with USA TODAY High School Sports, which work with top sport-specific experts and a media advisory board of accomplished, veteran prep sports journalists to determine the state winners in each sport.
McGuire joins Gatorade Nebraska Boys Cross Country Runners of the Year Joe Harter (2012-13, Millard West High School), Jacob Olson (2011-12 & 2010-11, Kearney High School), Jarren Heng (2009-10 & 2008-09, Norfolk Catholic), and Jon Ronhovde (2007-08, Fremont) as athletes who have won the cross country award since its inception in 2007.

VeinDirectory - "The Know"
"The Know" is an informational resource concerning vein treatment options. It contains valuable information for prospective patients, physicians as well as those in the vein treatment industry. We will be regularly posting educational articles, video logs and other pertinent information. We encourage your feedback and welcome any suggestions that you feel may improve the blog.

Natural Varicose Vein Remedies
Clearly, varicose veins are a nuisance: from discomfort to aesthetics, they
plague millions of people each year. Generally the first form of treatment
is invasive or rather minimally invasive procedures which are efficient and
effective at removing the gnarled veins. However, prior to jumping on board
the surgical path, there are a number of home remedies available to ease the
pain or aid in remedying the varicose veins.
Personal Liberty News wrote about natural remedies saying, "In particular,
moderate muscle-toning exercise or yoga help veins preserve their natural
shape, while the cholesterol-lowering effects of exercise may act to boost
vein health from within. Herbal supplements, such as horse chestnut extract
are also commonly used to treat varicose veins. Studies have shown the
active component in horse chestnut called aescin appears to block the
release of enzymes that damage capillary walls, according to the alternative
health section of About.com, an informational website."
Similarly, a number of holistic websites say that eating an ample supply of
antioxidants, buckwheat, fruit are great preventative remedies. While
avoiding heavy consumption of red meats, salt, alcohol and cheese is a wise
choice. So perhaps prior to undergoing surgical treatments, stick to home
remedies and see if a healthy lifestyle will promote healthy veins.

Insurance and Venous Disease
For years now there has been a dispute and controversy over why varicose
veins and spider veins are not covered by insurance. For patients suffering
from severe cases of varicose veins, those turning into Deep Vein
Thrombosis, may have removal treatments covered, by why not those of us
opting for treatment for cosmetic reasons? After all, even if it is
cosmetic, venous disease is still an ailment that can lead to more serious
health problems.
Some would argue if the government was able to provide hundreds of thousands
of dollars for tattoo removal programs, why not provide funding for venous
disease treatment? Though it should be noted that sclerotherapy and some
stripping techniques are actually covered by insurance if the varicose and
spider veins are considered a health hazard by physicians. Hopefully soon
the dispute ends and insurance companies will cover all costs.

Venous Disease Research Awards
The Venous Disease Coalition is making great strides in bringing vein health
to the forefront of news and research. In fact the group has organized an
awards for best venous disease research (this includes, varicose veins,
spider veins, Deep Vein Thrombosis and other ailments regarding vein
Smart Brief released the news saying, "The Venous Disease Coalition has
announced its first annual Venous Disease Research Awards celebrating the
best published research contributing to the understanding and treatment of
venous disease. We encourage you to nominate venous research published
between Jan. 1, 2008, and March 31, 2009. The awards will be made at the
Vascular Disease Foundation's dinner Sept. 16."
Many physicians say that the key to preventing venous disease is education
and awareness. So programs like this and groups like the coalition
significantly aid in educating the public about the risks, symptoms and
treatments available.

Minimally Invasive Procedures Set to Expand Globally
The United States and other western counterparts have been very successful
in implementing minimally invasive varicose vein removal procedures. From
laser treatments to radiofrequency occlusion, the market has significantly
expanded over the years. However, some are saying that the industry is
likely to grow in areas that require less-costly and time consuming
treatments like in Brazil.
PR News Wire discussed the possible increase, "The varicose vein treatment
device market in the country, widely considered to be one of the most
aesthetically-conscious in the world, is limited primarily by the Brazilian
universal public health system, which provides reimbursement for surgical
vein removal (stripping) procedures but not for more advanced, minimally
invasive procedures such as endovenous ablation and sclerotherapy. As a
result, patients must pay for these treatments out-of-pocket. Nevertheless,
procedure volumes for these minimally invasive alternatives will increase by
approximately 10% annually from 2009 to 2013 due to growing patient demand
for the superior cosmetic results and reduced postoperative pain associated
with these therapies."
Surgical stripping has long been considered the go-to for venous disease
treatment in many parts of the world. However, as people become more
aesthetically driven and the tools and techniques become readily available
in less privileged countries, it may boom as it did in the US.

No Pain, All Gain
Over the years medical technology has drastically improved post-op recovery
for patients in many fields. One of those successful fields is vascular
surgery and treating venous disease. With more than 40 million people
nationwide suffering from varicose veins and spider veins, technology is
dramatically improved not only the success rate of removal and stripping but
also pain. Many of these patients struggled day in and day out with their
gnarled veins bulging out, and for some the recovery was just as
painstaking. However, with procedures like laser removal, radiofrequency
occlusion and some others, pain is lessened as is recovery time.
KY3 News said, "You shouldn't assume
varicose veins
are just nuisances that
come with aging. Damaged veins need medical attention, an technology just
keeps giving doctors new tools to fix the problems."
Hopefully with more time, we can develop even faster more cost efficient
procedures to not only remove these ropy veins, but do so in a timely and
less painful manner than even now. Progress in the venous disease spectrum
has been great, and in fact more patients are becoming aware of the
importance of removal and treatment.
Thursday, April 23, 2009
More Vein Clinics Opening
With over 40 million people in the United States suffering from gnarled,
ropy and painful varicose veins, the number of vein health clinics has
increased over the years. In fact the minimally invasive industry for
removing varicose and spider veins has also grown rapidly. With more and
more people opting to remove their unattractive varicose veins, even
dermatology offices are beginning to bring in treatments.
The market is constantly expanding and even warranting new clinics to spur
in locations all across the US. So now as opposed to travelling to big
cities (eg. Los Angeles, New York and Houston), patients are seeing
dermatologists and skilled professionals in vein health open clinics even in
small towns. This is great news for the vein health industry.

Varicose Vein Screenings
As new techniques for varicose and spider vein removal emerge onto the
market, many hospitals and vein clinics are looking to expose their new
methods onto the industry and patents. The Vein Center at Carney Hospital
will be providing free vein scans whilst also introducing new treatments.
This Boston clinic is following in the footsteps of others which are looking
to bring about the notion of early detection of venous disease and simply
awareness of symptoms, treatments and removal.
A local Boston paper the Dorchester Reporter said, "A free Varicose Vein
Screening will be offered on Tuesday, May 12, from 4-6 p.m. in Carney's new
Copeland Surgical Center located off the Seton Medical Office Building
Lobby. If you have varicose veins that result in painful, achy, or swollen
legs you may benefit from this free screening. The screening will provide a
limited venous ultrasound examination and brief consultation with a
These free testings will also allow patients to learn about the various
products and treatments available on the market, where to get one and how.

Increased Flight Routes and Possible DVT Rise
For nearly 2 million people worldwide travel is a way of life, whether it is
business or pleasure, we hop on airplanes and travel great distances. But
are we aware of the detriment this luxury may be causing to our vein health?
It is being said that new flying routes are being added day in and day out
globally, from direct flights to Dubai and South America alike, our worldly
ways may be harming our health. These increased flight routes may also mean
increase in Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) cases.
The National paper said, "Immobilisation has been linked to 75 per cent of
air-travel cases of DVT. Passengers move less in non-aisle seats and
correspondingly, more instances of the condition have been found in those
travellers. Common sense dictates that you should take an aisle seat if you
can, drink plenty of water, and reduce caffeine consumption and move about
as much as possible on-board."
A key factor and cause of DVT is prolonged hours of immobility – often times
induced from flying. So if the travel bug has bit you, it may be wise to
consider travelling safer and better. Use compression socks to increase the
blood flow and walk periodically to keep your legs moving during those
long-haul direct flights.

Women's Health Week
Here ye Here ye, for all you women out there, Monday will ring in Women's
Health Week. In lieu of bettering our health, a Foxboro, Massachusetts
medical center is offering free screenings for women. Whether you are
looking to get a body scan or a varicose vein scan, the Brigham and
Women's/Mass General Health Care Center is offering it all from April 30th –
May 7th.
The Walpole Times (local newspaper) said, "Events will include free
screenings for varicose veins as well as skin health analyses, and free mini
facials provided by Green Tangerine Spa and Salon. Health lectures for
women will be held on chronic pain management, bladder problems, ACL injury
and skin cancer prevention. *Varicose Vein Screenings *will be held
Thursday, April 30, from 5 - 8 p.m. Concerned about varicose veins? This
screening evaluates you for a new one-hour laser treatment that can return
you back to your normal everyday activities."
Varicose veins often plague millions of women worldwide, and a large number
of cases go undetected or simply untreated which may ultimately cause Deep
Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and other more serious ailments.

Controversy of Varicose Vein Treatment
A nurse in the UK who has been plagued with varicose veins for years now has
been denied payment over her removal treatments. For a woman who has spent
prolonged hours working as a nurse standing up right all the time, it's no
wonder she contracted a form of venous disease. The controversy stirs as
some physicians in the UK and US refuse to have insurance companies pay for
treatment, since so many people get treated for cosmetic purposes. But for
people like Toni whom have Grade's 2, 3 or 4 the removal treatments are
necessary. There are definitely hazards to living with varicose veins.
The Surrey Herald reported saying, "I'm on my feet all day and by the end of
it I'm in absolute agony with the varicose veins."My GP referred me to a
specialist, who said the veins need to be treated within the next five years
or I'm at risk of irreversible damage, leg ulcers and more. Toni, a
mum-of-three, considered getting the treatment privately after the trust's
refusal, but was told it would cost her £3,000. I have to wear compression
socks to ease it, but what I really need is treatment."

The highly anticipated UTMB Specialty Care Center at Victory Lakes is set to open later this spring. As the population of the Bay Area rapidly grows, this new facility addresses the need for high-quality, specialty health care.
The two-story, 110,000 square-foot building complements UTMB's 20-plus smaller clinics located across northern Galveston County and southern Harris County. Its innovative design contains a complete day surgery center with six operating rooms, complete laboratory services, a state-of-the-art imaging center, weight management center, breast health center, pelvic health center and multiple specialty clinics.
"In essence, it's a high-expertise, one-stop-shop for anyone with medical conditions that may require surgery," said Bonnie Benkula, the center's associate vice president. "Our new center will provide the ultimate in convenience for our patients while ensuring they receive the best physicians, specialists, services, treatment and technology available."
Patient care is the core of the center's philosophy.
"Our interdisciplinary team of physicians treats the whole person, not just certain facets of his or her health," Benkula said. "Should the patient grant permission, our UTMB care team will share medical records to ensure each physician involved in that patient's care is completely aware of both health status and treatment options."
Another focus at Victory Lakes is providing a high-quality experience in a comfortable, healing environment. The building's contemporary exterior design allows plenty of natural light to permeate the interior space. Hues of blues, grays and other colors in nature convey warmth and comfort. Patients will also take comfort in knowing that treatment options and equipment at Victory Lakes are some of the most technologically advanced available, effectively combining expertise, education and high-technology.
Patient convenience has also been carefully considered. Patients can quickly park their cars free of charge, see one or more specialty physicians, receive any necessary imaging or lab work and undergo any procedures needed…all in one place.
Services include orthopaedics, gynecology, urology, ophthalmology, plastic surgery, general surgery, pain management, ear, nose and throat surgery, and gastroenterology, just to name a few. This convenience also means less wait time for patients in need of day surgery procedures. Virtually every surgical procedure that can be completed at an outpatient surgery center can be handled at UTMB Victory Lakes. (For the latest information on the facility, visit blog.utmb.edu/VictoryLakes.

Dallas Cowboys
Jason Witten - #82 - TE
|6' 6"/ 261 lbs.
|Elizabethton, TN
|Years played
|2003, 3rd round, 5th pick by Cowboys
Cowboys rookie WR Bryant placed on I.R.
Cowboys WR Dez Bryant has been place on injured reserve after breaking his ankle in the team's Week 13 win over the Colts.
Choice again answers call when given shot
The Cowboys don't often call Tashard Choice's number in their crowded backfield, but when they do, it's almost always a success.
Former Cowboys QB, 'MNF' announcer Don Meredith dies at age 72
Former Cowboys QB and "Monday Night Football" analyst Don Meredith died on Sunday evening at the age of 72.
Cowboys pick Manning four times, beat Colts in OT
On Sunday, Peyton Manning had two of his four interceptions returned for touchdowns and the last one set up David Buehler's 38-yard field goal in overtime to give Dallas a 38-35 victory at Indianapolis.
Cowboys must make their Choice
Tashard Choice might be getting more touches with Marion Barber out, but Choice is not likely to have a huge future with the Cowboys.
Cowboys promote RB Miller, put Lissemore on I.R.
The Cowboys have placed rookie DE Sean Lissemore on injured reserve and promoted RB Lonyae Miller from their practice squad.
Week 14 Eagles-Cowboys game remains in primetime
The Eagles-Cowboys game on Dec. 12 will remain the Sunday-night primetime game, as the NFL chose not to flex a different game into the slot.
Romo throws, Barber sits at Cowboys practice
Cowboys QB Tony Romo did some throwing at Monday's practice. Meanwhile, RB Marion Barber missed practice with a calf injury.
Cowboys make roster move
The Cowboys released DE Jimmy Saddler-McQueen and signed S Andrew Sendejo to the active roster from their practice squad on Monday.
Hot assistant coaches who could move up
With Jason Garrett and Leslie Frazier auditioning for head-coaching jobs and several other vacancies likely arising in 2011, PFW looks at the assistant coaches who have the best shot at becoming head coaches next season.
Hard to picture Williams in Cowboys' plans
WR Roy Williams is not solely to blame for Thursday's loss to the Saints with his late fumble, nor has he played as poorly as some have suggested, but his future with the Cowboys appears dim.

2011 NFC East free-agent preview
Here is our exclusive team-by-team list of NFC East players who are likely to become free agents in March, such as Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw.
The Dallas Cowboys have reworked the contracts of five starters, including Witten, to save salary cap space.||||||| Witten's new deal will take $3.6 million off the cap.
With seven catches for 51 yards in Sunday's 19-13 loss to Atlanta, Witten has 754 for his career, passing Michael Irvin's record of 750.||||||| With 538 yards, Witten is on pace for his fourth 1,000-yard season.
With four more catches against the Falcons on Sunday, Witten will surpass Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin's franchise record of 750 receptions.||||||| Witten said Wednesday it is special to be mentioned with Irvin, but the seven-time Pro Bowler says his focus is on trying to help the Cowboys (3-4) win at the undefeated Falcons.
Witten caught 13 passes for 112 yards and a TD in Monday's 34-18 loss to Chicago.||||||| Witten caught eight passes for 76 yards in the first three weeks.
Witten feels like he is getting back to his normal self after suffering a lacerated spleen. Witten said Wednesday that he didn't take any shots to that part of his torso during the season-opening victory against the Giants a week earlier. He started the game and played 53 of the Cowboys' 68 offensive snaps. He caught two passes.||||||| Witten says he is still recovering from the Aug. 13 injury, but doesn't anticipate any setbacks. He will still be wearing extra padding when the Cowboys play Sunday at Seattle. Witten feels good when he's practicing and running around. He says what he's dealing with isn't like an ankle or hamstring injury that can linger for weeks.

By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - A downtown Albany store owner was arrested a Thursday on theft charges, and he'll soon be followed by three others, including former downtown manager Don Buie.
Tim Washington, Don Buie and his wife Shanon, and Buie's former girlfriend Nicole Brown are named in a 17 count indictment that outlines the theft of thousands of taxpayers' dollars.
After a five month investigation, a grand jury indicted Buie and the others on a dozen and a half charges that range from theft by taking to conspiracy to defraud.
The city manager's office says they hope these charges will remove the stench left by these crimes.
Dollar Square owner Tim Washington surrendered at the Sheriff's office two and a half hours ago. Our exclusive video shows Washington being booked on theft and conspiracy to defraud charges. He was then released on $20,000 bond. Washington is the first of the indicted four to surrender.
He, Don Buie and his wife, Shanon and Buie's former girlfriend, Nicole Brown, are all named in a 17 count indictment that outlines theft of taxpayer money.
Buie is accused of writing at least eight ADICA checks to his wife, Shanon Buie, for more than two thousand dollars total.
And he's charged with keeping part of the city money from a check he wrote to a woman he dated, Nicole Brown.
Prosecutors say they are not sure yet how much money Buie may mismanaged or stole.
"A challenge in this particular case is the lack of record keeping," Chief Assistant District Attorney Christopher Cohilas said. "That was present, so it has been a challenge for the investigation."
Prosecutors say this case is a top priority because government officials and tax money are involved.
"I hope that we can instill confidence in the public that their government. Their government services are clean, fair, and above board," said D. A. Greg Edwards.
ADICA Board Member LaJuana Woods, who was given a $50,000 façade grant from Buie, is also a target of this investigation.
Because she's a public official, she will be given the opportunity to appear before a grand jury.
"We will be moving to provide her with notice and the opportunity to come forward to the Grand Jury to review what we believe are acts associated with this particular situation," Edwards said.
City Manager Al Lott was out of town today, but Assistant City Manager Wes Smith said the charges are a relief.
"I'm kind of glad to see the wheels of justice turning the way they are supposed to," Smith said.
Assistant City Manager James Taylor, who took over as Interim ADICA Director, said it's important for the future of downtown Albany that Buie and the others face criminal charges, removing the stench of possible corruption so that investors will return.
"It's lingered as a little hanging cloud over a lot of things," Taylor said.
Buie contacted the GBI today to say he's in Baltimore, but will surrender this weekend. Prosecutors say they will fight to keep Don Buie held without bond when he is arrested.
Nicole Brown has indicated she will also surrender. No word yet on Shanon Buie's whereabouts.
Because he was a public official and charged with stealing tax money, Buie could face up to 15 years in prison for each of the 10 theft charges in the indictment.
The charges include:

The best asset to revitalize a community is its people.
The Community Engagement and Programs department of The Resurrection Project empowers people to forge paths toward education, safety, healthier neighborhoods, and an improved quality of life. We help residents become civically engaged so that they become community leaders
who advocate for rights and lead others to solve a variety of socioeconomic issues at the local, regional, and even national level.
Community Engagement and Programs engages neighbors, businesses, elected officials, and stakeholders in creating healthy communities through five core programs:
Community organizing - We engage neighbors, businesses, and stakeholders in a wide range of community-development initiatives, including the Greater Pilsen Economic Development Association (GPEDA) and community beautification events. Community organizing helped create legislation that set aside 21% of all new private development for affordable housing.
Education - We mobilize parents and community leaders to advocate for local and national education initiatives. We also manage Elev8 at Orozco Academy, which extends the school day with afternoon, weekend, and summer programs. Elev8 also supports an adolescent- focused health clinic at Orozco to provide social supports, access to public benefits, mentoring, and help with high school placement.
Digital inclusion - Through the Smart Communities program, we're helping to close the digital divide by offering free computer classes to community residents on how to use computers, surf the Internet, set up e-mail, use social media, and more. Our graduates are now using technology to contact elected officials and find essential city services.
Health and safety - We promote community health through breast cancer prevention workshops, showing residents how to access affordable health care, and health advocacy fairs
and workshops throughout the year. Our Resurrection Basketball League and our work with Hoops in the Hood and other anti-violence peace coalitions engages youth in sporting tournaments to help promote peace and safety in our communities.

I'm sorry, but this is wrong on so many levels.
First of all, football is simply too much of a minority sport in India for politicians to even take a sniff at. It is under developed, it doesn't pay much, generates very little money as a spectator sport and most importantly, is filled up predominantly with mediocre players. Unlike the BCCI, the AIFF has next to no political connections, nor has it been involved in any prominent snafu. Once again, unlike the BCCI, the AIFF is actually making headway with spreading football across the nation. The difficulties are understandable – the country's most talented players are from the North East, and providing proper coaching and guidance on a consistent basis to these players is damn near impossible due to both logistical and geographical concerns.
The second reason is even more nonsensical. Do you think India is the only country faced with this difficulty? The USA for instance prefers Basketball and Baseball to 'soccer' and the MLS is a joke to most professional footballers, but the simple fact is that they produce far far better players and teams than India ever has or probably will. The Kiwis and the South Africans both have better rugby teams than football teams, but they're both above India in terms of rankings. Heck even Canadians have better teams than India, despite how crazy they are over Ice Hockey.
The last point is the only one that makes sense (bits of it). I agree with you on the grass-roots concern. For too long, the country has refused to give football the same level of concern as they do cricket, and yes this has invariably led to a total non-existence of a proper footballing structure. BUT this is changing. Over the past five years or so, various campaigns have been started across the nation to identify good talent. Clubs such as Arsenal and Man United are contemplating opening soccer schools across the nation, more and more people are joining professional/sem-pro clubs and the interest in the game is piping up.
I laugh at your mention of Mumbai. Once again, we aren't the first country to have this issue. Almost all of today's top players came from the streets and slums. You name it – Ronaldinho, Fat Ronaldo, CR7, Nani et al were all discovered from favelas in Brazil and Portugal. Wayne Rooney comes from a working class family, he learned to play on the streets. He was identified when during an Everton v Man Utd U-12 game when he singlehandedly scored about 10 goals or so against United. Not the pitch, the streets. Oh and the "parents prefer academics" line? Not just in India mate.
I apologize for maybe being too harsh. It annoys me how easily people can be armchair pundits and criticize everyone from the AIFF to one's own gardener for the state of the game in India. Sure, it was crap at a time, but it isn't anymore. We are progressing, and in years to come, we will probably make it to the big 'uns. But that said, the fact that you're Indian, and that you've done next to no research on this piece is poor.

Generous Basingstoke residents raised money for Santa Paws campaign
5:00pm Saturday 8th February 2014 in News By Helen Morton, Senior Reporter
GENEROUS Basingstoke residents have raised thousands of pounds for local animal centres.
The money was raised in the borough for the 'Santa Paws' campaign, which was run by charity Support Adoption for Pets.
The campaign aims to raise awareness of homeless pets and support local animal shelters over the festive period.
Pet owners were asked to either donate 50p to pay for a pet's Christmas dinner or to buy an animal toy or treat.
The annual campaign is supported by Pets at Home and the Basingstoke store was responsible for raising a grand total of £4,273.79, all of which will go to help Cats Protection Basingstoke and Hart Wildlife Rescue.
Amy Wilson, charity manager at Support Adoption For Pets, said: "It's down to the hard work and enthusiasm of Pets at Home customers and colleagues in Basingstoke that we were able to raise so much money.
"We'd like to say a massive thank-you to everyone who came in store and supported the campaign, helping us to raise over £4,000.
"The 2013 Santa Paws initiative was the first time we have introduced the 'donate a pet dinner' initiative which has enabled us nationally to donate 553,120 pet dinners over the course of the appeal.
"In addition, we were also able to raise £291,674 which will go to helping a host of UK pet re-homing centres."

Federal Judiciary:
Information on Noncase-Related Travel of Bankruptcy Judges in 14 Bankruptcy Districts
GGD-97-166R: Published: Aug 8, 1997. Publicly Released: Sep 11, 1997.
(202) 512-3610
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the noncase-related travel of the bankruptcy judges in each of 14 districts for calendar years 1995 and 1996, focusing on the dates, purpose, number of workdays required, cost, destination, and the organization that paid for each noncase-related trip.
GAO noted that: (1) in assessing bankruptcy judge workload, the Judicial Conference assumes that each bankruptcy judge will spend, on average, about 30 percent of his or her time--about 600 hours per year--on noncase-related matters, such as travel, training, administrative affairs, and general case management activities that cannot be attributed to a specific case; (2) the 80 judges who responded to GAO's request reported that they took a total of 416 noncase-related trips in calendar year 1995 and 403 trips in calendar year 1996; (3) together, circuit or district meetings and activities; Judicial Conference meetings and activities; and Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts- or Federal Judicial Center-sponsored workshops, seminars, and other activities accounted for about 66 percent of all trips and about 74 percent of all travel workdays reported for 1995; (4) comparable figures for calendar year 1996 were about 67 percent and about 73 percent, respectively; (5) there was a marked difference between the districts with the highest and lowest average number of noncase-related trips per judge and between the districts with the highest and lowest average number of workdays per judge for noncase-related trips; (6) the total number of trips reported varied among districts, and among judges in the same district, for several reasons; (7) first, in some districts, judges served on Judicial Conference committees or subcommittees and traveled to meetings of these committees and subcommittees--travel not required of their colleagues who did not serve on such committees; (8) second, some districts had newly appointed judges who attended one or more sessions of new judge orientation and training; (9) third, some judges were active in national bankruptcy organizations, such as the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges, and traveled to more events sponsored by these organizations than did their colleagues within the district or judges in other districts; (10) destinations varied widely, from local county bar association meetings to trips overseas to teach bankruptcy seminars; (11) about 98 percent (805) of the 819 noncase-related trips reported for 1995 and 1996 were for destinations within the United States; (12) five judges reported a total of 14 trips to other nations; and (13) about 34 percent of all reported trips were paid for by the judges personally or by organizations other than the federal judiciary.

Amish sect must use orange safety triangles on buggies
By The Associated Press
Printer-friendly page
Editor's note: The Associated Press reported that the Pennsylvania House on June 27 had deleted from a transportation bill language that would have allowed an Amish sect to use gray reflective tape instead of orange triangles on their buggies. State Rep. Gary Haluska, who sponsored the amendment deleting the exemption from the bill, said the orange triangles are easier for motorists to see.
EBENSBURG, Pa. A judge has ruled that an ultraconservative Amish congregation must use orange-and-red reflective triangles on their buggies despite arguments by the group that gaudy decorations violate their beliefs.
Twenty members of the Swartzentruber Amish sect who live about 65 miles from Pittsburgh were hit yesterday with 27 fines of $95 each for failing to use the slow-moving vehicle symbol on roadways.
Donna Doblick, the Pittsburgh attorney representing the Amish for the American Civil Liberties Union, said she would appeal the ruling to Pennsylvania Superior Court. The fines were suspended until the appeal is heard.
Instead of the triangles, the Swartzentruber prefer to use a gray reflective tape and a lantern on the rear of their buggies. Gray or white reflective tape is legal in nine states for use on slow moving vehicles, including Ohio, where the sect lived until two years ago.
"We're disappointed. It's hard to understand how in nine states they can make the requested accommodation for the Amish, but in Pennsylvania the cradle of religious liberty they can't respect the Amish's beliefs," said Vic Walczak, executive director of the Pittsburgh branch of the ACLU.
Cambria County Judge Timothy Creany ruled that Pennsylvania can abridge the Swartzentruber's religious beliefs because it has a "compelling interest" namely, keeping the Amish and other vehicles safe on public roads.
Creany relied on testimony given last month by state transportation experts, who said the triangles are more visible than the tape during the day when statistics show about 61% of all vehicle-buggy accidents occur.
Doblick said those statistics don't prove anything, however, because they don't show how the accidents occurred or who was at fault. "There's no evidence that any of those crashes could have been prevented by bathing the vehicle in color," she said.
The Cambria County District Attorney's Office, which is prosecuting the cases, didn't immediately return calls for comment on the decision.
Creany said in his 12-page ruling that he "admires the strength of choice that the members of this congregation have made" and hinted he would prefer to let the Amish use the reflective tape they prefer.
"This court, however, does not have legislative authority and ... (if) change is to be had it must come from the legislative arm of government," Creany wrote.
The state Senate has approved a bill that allows the Swartzentrubers to substitute the gray reflective tape and a lantern. The bill is now before the state House Transportation Committee.
Although some less stringent Amish sects already use the reflective triangles, the Swartzentrubers have vowed to leave the state if they lose the appeal or the bill doesn't become law.
Trial begins for Amish who refuse to put safety symbols on carriages
Sect members say they'll leave Pennsylvania if judge rules they must use 16-inch orange reflective triangle.
Michigan Amish fight agency order to install septic systems
Meanwhile, Kentucky judge shutters one-room Mennonite schoolhouse after officials refuse to install running water, septic system for outhouse toilets.
Amish case is about religion, zoning depending on whom you ask
Lawyer for two Pennsylvania men says ordinance's language, which specifically bars horses but not other livestock, shows it's targeted at sect.
