"Just like the organisms in the natural world, this series of brooches are colorful and textural. They are inspired by the microscopic photographs of pollen cells and sea corals which possess vibrant colours and peculiar shapes. They always make me want to touch them. Therefore, the idea of making playful and tactile jewellery came to mind. For me, the best way to research is through material. The process of testing materials is interesting and full of surprises; the result is always beyond expectations. I enjoy transforming the flat sheet into three-dimensional forms, because it is unpredictable and exciting. Colour is another theme of my work. I am fascinated by the creatures which have flamboyant colours. So my work adopts different colours and tone combinations to present various and gradual changes of colours, in order to express the the dynamic nature of the texture in my work. I emphasize a sense of dynamic texture in my jewellery to encourage interaction between work and audience. My work seeks to ignite people's curiosity and enjoyment." (via Birmingham School of Jewellery Graduate Demi Chao)
So original and unique. Sea corals and anemones scream out 'touch me!…at your peril!'

Biddy stomping is the act whereby an individual attempts to either meet, get with, or otherwise come into contact with biddies (sleep with, one night stands, or literal brawls with women). In a comical sense it means literally anihilating any such sluty women.

With TV shows dedicated to it, and pictures and videos all across the internet, cosplay has now officially entered the public consciousness. All over the world, enthusiastic fans dress up as their favorite characters and show off amazing homemade costumes at conventions and in inspiring photography sessions. But beyond the glamour is a powerful story of personal transformation. Dressing up helps many cosplayers subvert cultural norms and experiment with new identities. For some, it makes them feel more comfortable in their own skin. A practice that on the surface seems just for fun, in fact can have a profound effect…
In Secrets of the Vatican, FRONTLINE tells the epic, inside story of the collapse of the Benedict papacy and illuminates the extraordinary challenges facing Pope Francis as he tries to reform the powerful Vatican bureaucracy, root out corruption and chart a new course for the troubled Catholic Church and its 1.2 billion followers.

"Bio Technician" certification held in Kansas City
September 16, 2002
Bio Cleaning Services of America, Inc., sponsored a two-day course for individuals and companies contemplating start-up business in crime and trauma-scene cleanup in Kansas City, Mo., June 28-29.
"The training and certification program was devised to help train people in knowing what it will take to actually go into the field and do the work safely and quickly," said Bio Cleaning Services' Don McNulty. "The second part of the seminar is the "how to's" of business ownership, specific to bio cleaning." According to McNulty, another seminar will take place in St. Louis at the end of October, with more seminars planned through 2003.

More details are emerging on the Tununak man who is charged with the murder of his 2-year old son.
24 year old Edward Moses faces first degree murder and robbery charges in the case.
According to charging documents, the incident began when Moses entered the home of the child's mother Anna Inakak carrying a shot gun and what appeared to be alcohol.
He then demanded everyone exit the home leaving their cellphones, when the mother didn't comply she was threatened with the shotgun and ran from the residence.
According to Troopers, Moses phoned the child's Aunt and told him to "Say Goodbye" which was followed by a gunshot sound.
Moses, after hours of negotiations, surrendered.
Moses was transferred to Bethel, where he is being held on $500,000 bail; a preliminary hearing in his case is scheduled for Sept. 24.

Following the 1980 Mount St. Helens volcanic eruption, psychiatric
reactions were studied in the disaster area and in a control community.
Using the new criterion-based diagnostic method for psychiatric
epidemiologic research, the Diagnostic Interview Schedule, the authors
found a significant prevalence of disaster-related psychiatric disorders.
These Mount St. Helens disorders included depression, generalized anxiety,
and posttraumatic stress reaction. There was a progressive "dose-response"
relationship in the comparison of control, low-exposure, and high-exposure
groups. The dose-response pattern occurred among both the bereaved and the
property-loss victims.

After I wrote about liminality recently, I have been thinking about change and how we create it in our lives. Affirmations are a magical tool that can be very powerful, but only when constructed well. Using the present progressive tense to craft affirmations puts them in a form that draws on the Element of Fire and makes them much more effective tools for transformation.
PaganSquare is a community blog space where Pagans can discuss topics relevant to the life and spiritual practice of all Pagans.

Come to us, come with me to the west -
And hear the language of heroes (of the Fèinn),
Come to us, come with me to the west,
And hear the language of the Gael.
Fun fact about me: I have a degree in speech-language pathology, and my concentration was in clinical phonology with a heavy emphasis on linguistics. I love studying the sound systems of a language and how sounds are tied to meaning. Today I happened across Forvo, a linguistic site that specializes in using native speakers to demonstrate how to pronounce words. It is single words and not sentences, but it's still helpful in developing an ear for nonnative speakers.
Of course, Forvo has a list of Norse mythology terms and many other languages as well. I hope that resources such as this will help preserve and protect against linguistic extinction. Every language has its own way of expressing a view of the world, and the language we speak undoubtedly shapes the way we think about everything in the inner and outer world. As Pagans we are explorers of other worlds, and so preservation of language is as precious as any other resource....
In our culture belief is the sine qua non of religion. We talk of 'beliefs', and 'believers', and 'other beliefs', as synonyms for religious doctrines, adherents and other religions. The problem with this is that only one religion on the planet actually cares about what you believe: Christianity. Most other religions relate to their doctrines or practices in very different and sometimes contradictory ways, such as having several unresolved and conflicting opinions in one person. For them, this is not a problem, but for Christianity it is. The history of Christianity is mostly about disagreements in doctrine and who had to flee, hide, fight, be killed, or submit to whom, about it. It is true that across human history religion has been an excuse for war or plunder, but that was usually about resources or dominance and not about technical points of theology. Christianity is different.
heh, the old 'faith vs works' debate...

Today's Hekate's Deipnon and I have a lot to do for it so I'm keeping this post brief. Since my progression into Hellenismos, I have started to consider language in Pagan practice. Although I am Dutch, I have nearly always practiced in English. I love this language; it's softer, more poetic, more fluid than Dutch. It has synonyms that make sense. 'Practicing in English' became part of my practice. When I set out onto the Hellenic path, I naturally started practicing in English. I can't read or pronounce Greek yet so it made sense. Since about a week, I am not so sure anymore.
I tried an on-the-spot translation into Dutch of my daily prayers and hymns and felt a deeper connection to Deity than I had felt before within this practice. I started wondering why that was as I stumbled through my translations this week. I think... that especially Hestia appreciates my Dutch prayers and hymns because Dutch is the language that is spoken in this household. It's part of our Oikos. I'm not sure the others care very much.
Of course, I would rather practice in ancient Greek. I got myself a home study course and will be attempting to learn as much as I can on my own before taking a language course. It's not mandatory in Hellenismos to speak Greek but I would love to be able to read the hymns, myths and plays I base my practice on in their original language and form. Translations are lovely but there is always artistic freedom. Besides, for me, it's the language of the Gods.

La Crosse, WISCONSIN (WXOW) Many people might not know that the Naval Academy has a golf team.
Central's Devin Terry is sure glad they do.
The senior signed a letter of intent to play college golf for the Naval Academy Wednesday.
Terry was a state tournament qualifier as a sophomore and was named all-conference 2nd team last spring as a junior.
The ultra-tough MVC prepared him well for the next level.
But the Naval Academy was an attractive option for other reasons.
"It's a perfect fit for me. It has a great reputation in the field of study I want to continue in in engineering. The Naval Academy is the only place I can do golf and engineering. Plus, I can give back to my country and become an officer in the Navy," Terry said.

Hi, I have FIOS TV and Internet already, so there is a large electronic box / ONT in my closet (not sure what the model number is but it was installed a few months ago). I just ordered FIOS digital voice online, and learned that I can buy any cordless phone to go with the new service. I didn't order FIOS phone jack installation. How do I connect the phone jack to the ONT? I'm guessing there will be a punchdown block in the ONT that I can use, and run standard phone cable to a wall jack? I have a phone wire punchdown tool somewhere. Or is there an actual phone jack already in the ONT that I can plug into?
OK, looks like I'm all set. I found diagrams for the FIOS ONT on the Internet and the phone connections are very well marked. Here's the URL for a FIOS FAQ page in case anyone else is interested:
On thing you need to be careful of if you've also connected to the remainder of your house phone line wiring ... This phone line wiring is likely cross-connected to the public network somewhere (called the dMark). The wiring should be disconnected from the public network at the dmark to prevent any issues with signals coming from outside of your house (phone noise, lightning, etc.). Typically you will find the dMark box has a "customer" side on it. If you open the customer side, there will be a phone line plugged in using a typical phone style connector ... simply unplug it and leave it unplugged. Your phone is all coming from the ONT, so nothing more to do.
If you are directly connected to the ONT and not using the house wiring at all, then you can ignore this.

Neo-classical Labour Market Dynamics and Wage Expectations: Chaos and the "Resurrection" of the Phillips Curve
AbstractIn this paper we develop a simple model of the labour market in the neoclassical framework. According to the mainstream literature, dating back to, e.g., Friedman (1968) and Phelps (1968), only temporary deviations from the natural rate of employment may take place in the "expectations augmented" neoclassical labour market. On the contrary we are capable to show that not only temporary but long term regular fluctuations and chaotic behaviour of wages and employment emerge as a robust finding when firms and individuals have uniform wage expectations. This suggests at least one noteworthy consideration: a 'reminiscence' of the long run Phillips curve may emerge in a neoclassical labour market context, by providing a new perspective to the long lasting controversial issue of the existence of the Phillips Curve.

Executives at Starz apparently felt so positively about the second season, 'Spartacus: Vengeance,' and new star Liam McIntyre's performance in the title role that they've told executive producer/creator Steven DeKnight and his writers to get straight to work on Season 3.
"Many surprises are in store for 'Vengeance' viewers this year, but rest assured, the multi-layered plot and richly developed characters will continue to be a trademark of this series," executive producer Rob Tapert said in a statement from the network. "It's incredibly gratifying to see how the story has resonated so well with viewers worldwide."
"The executives at Starz have been extremely supportive in giving us creative freedom and allowing us to tell the story in a rich, yet bold way that leaves an indelible mark on its fans," DeKnight added.
In its relatively brief existence, 'Spartacus' has had to face an unusual and tragic set of circumstances. After winning a rabidly faithful audience with a surprisingly epic and entertaining first season in 2010, original star Andy Whitfield was diagnosed with cancer, and fans got the awful news that the disease had taken his life two months ago.
While Whitfield was battling the disease, the network and producers put a full second season on hold and instead offered fans the six-episode prequel, 'Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.'
The lead role was eventually recast with McIntyre, and the full, 10-episode second season will finally debut Jan. 27. Season 2, 'Spartacus: Vengeance,' will combine characters from the first season, 'Spartacus: Blood and Sand,' as well as some familiar faces from 'Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.'
For a roster of who's going to be in the new season, look here, and DeKnight and the cast talked about the upcoming season here and here. And we've got the promotional clip for the new season and the full-size 'Spartacus: Vengeance' poster here.
Generally speaking, it's a good day for brawling, brawny men: In case you hadn't heard, 'Sons of Anarchy' has had its fourth season extended to 14 episodes.

In a town hall yesterday, Ron Paul said that Iran is acting in a "rational manner" by threatening to disrupt the world oil supply in the Persian Gulf. He believes Iran is only defending itself from the provocations of the West and told the crowd that if he were president, he'd be "provoking them a lot less."
"We're just looking for trouble," Paul said. "We're building the war propaganda against Iran just as we did against Iraq."
Since Paul believes that Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons to defend itself, he characterized Iran's response as saying "we can't really defend ourselves so we might sink a boat, sink a ship out there in the Persian Gulf."
Here's the full video:
How would I deal with the threat or the so-called threat of the Iranians, that they are going to disrupt the oil supply?
Well I'd be provoking them a lot less because they're reacting to the provoking of the West saying "we're gonna put on sanctions". We have them surrounded with nuclear weapons and we're claiming that they're gonna build a nuclear weapon and there's no evidence for this.
So we're just looking for trouble. We're building the war propaganda against Iran just as we did against Iraq.
And it's the march on. You know it's Libya and it's in Egypt and now we're involved in Syria, now we're sending troops into Africa. And also, of course we're still in Iraq, we're into Pakistan and we've been in Afghanistan for a long time.
And people want to go to war against Iran. And I think they're reacting to the provocations of so many other people saying that "we're liable to bomb you because you are building a nuclear weapon." But our CIA doesn't confirm that nor does the UN confirm that.
So they're acting actually in a rational manner because they're saying "they're gonna attack us and start bombing us". They have to say "well, we don't have any nuclear weapons, we can't really defend ourselves. So we might sink a boat, sink a ship out there in the Persian Gulf", hoping that we might back off.
I just think we're treating the whole thing wrong. …

Rob Chudzinski addressed Brandon Weeden a little more at the NFL Scouting Combine. What did he say?
Rob Chudzinski addressed Brandon Weeden a little more at the NFL Scouting Combine. What did he say?
The Browns coach had a few more positives about Weeden, but he's still reluctant to say too much about him. The line now is Chudzinski likes some of what he sees of Weeden on tape, but he has to see him on the field. Chudzinski said he's "excited" about what he saw, but added: "Tape tells a very small part of the story." He said Weeden has a good arm and can make all the throws, and he had a "good, calm, poised demeanor" in the pocket. His main issue with Weeden: Inconsistency. Chudzinski just has to see him on the field. As for the owner's statement that there will be competition at quarterback, Chudzinski fell back to the old line that competition makes everyone better. Make of that what you will.

text: Our attitude and integrity as artists are very important. We need to encourage and nourish the notion that we are not going to yield to the neurotic world. Inch by inch, step-by-step, our effort should wake people up through the world of art rather than please everyone and go along with the current. It might be painful for your clients or your audience to take the splinter out of their system, so to speak. It probably will be quite painful for them to accommodate such pressure coming from the artist's vision. However, that should be done, and it is necessary. Otherwise, the world will go downhill, and the artist will go downhill also.

Best Things To Do & See In Colombia: Tourist Attractions
The top tourist attractions in Colombia have just now started to develop into the mainstream. A country marred by its past is just now staring to climb outside its shell and shine on the world stage.
Everything that you can think of from the history of Cartagena, the world renown coffee plantations, and even the lovable city of Medellin leaves tourists wanting to come back for years.
There are tour companies sprouting up in almost every city (every day) and the things to do in the once war torn country are growing rapidly. Living in Medellin has allowed me to learn more about the great Colombian people. Here are the top 5 things to do in Colombia:
Cartagena is one of the old capitals of the Spanish Empire. Here you can see a great part of history and die of heat at the same time. Its an extreme tropical climate so make sure to bring your sun screen and plenty of water. Walking inside the old city will make you feel like you are in a whole different world. The colonial architecture and balconies that line the streets will take your heart away. If it wasn't for Buenos Aires, this city could easily be the romantic capital of South America.
The area around Cartagena has much to explore as well. Scuba Diving in and around Cartagena is very popular. In a small city call Taganga about 2 hours from Cartagena, the city lives of scuba diving training. Tayrona National Park is massive for beach and out door lovers.
You can also get a glimpse of Colombia's lost city, la cuidad perdida, inside of the Parque Nacional Natural Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (a national park with a name thats way too long). You can take a great hike that takes about 4-5 days.
One of My Favorites in the world: MEDELLIN
One of the best things to do & see in Colombia is Medellin, hands down. The city is incredible which is the reason I decided to live here. This city too was recently run by drug lords until the government took the city back house by house in the early 1990′s. The culture in the city will astound you as everyone is friendly and willing to help.
You can paraglide over the city to get great views of the mountains and after landing take a gander at the gorgeous botanical gardens. Medellin is also the city where the famous artist Botero was born. You can explore both the Botero Plaza and the museum in the center of the city. When in the city no one misses Medellin nightlife, make sure you head out for some reggaeton or salsa dancing.
Your stay in Colombia wouldn't be fulfilled unless you head into the country side and see the small pueblos (towns). Near Medellin you have great ones to see in Guatape, Jardin, and Santa Fe, among others. Most Colombian families head into fincas (country houses) during holiday and extended weekends. This is a great way to get the real taste of Colombia! One unique thing that you can do is visit the coffee region. The cities you want to visit are Manizales or Salento which are roughly 5.5 hours away and 1.5 hours away from Medellin by bus, respectively.
The capital of Bogota offers a look into both the political and financial capital of the country. The historical district is called La Candelaria in Bogota. Here you can explore the old streets of the city, see the popular Plaza de Bolivar, and also check out the fantastic Gold Museum and Botero Museum (both are extremely impressive). If you don't have the opportunity to go up into the mountains, specifically Mt. Monserrate, then you will miss some of the most breathtaking pictures of the city. About an hour away from the city is the popular Salt Cathedral where you can see a salt mine that was converted into a church.
The Caribbean island of Colombia just off the coast of Central America has a lot to offer to tourists. Diving or getting your open water scuba diving certificate is a great idea with crystal clear waters and a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve (If UNESCO recognizes it, you have to see it!). You can find all the outdoor adventures you can dream of including tanning at the beach, para sailing, wind surfing, and even horseback riding.

Thanks a bunch for this great post about what to do in Cartagena, we only got to spend a full day there, but clearly from you post, there is so much more to see. More time would have been great but here's a sample of our pictures that we were able to get and things we were able to in one day. Let us know what you think.
- August 25, 2011 at 1:17 pm
Oh man, I thought having them on your fingers like that would be scary! (I'm a girl… I'm not a huge fan of fish… I would probably have run screaming from the water! haha)
Will have to check out some of these things when I finally make it to Colombia!
Beautiful photography as always Marcello.

- January 2, 2014 at 9:03 am
I think Miami or Hawaii is a much cooler place to live…
Or Florianópolis where you combine surf, nightlife and low cost lifestyle ?
- January 30, 2014 at 6:51 pm
We're going to be in Medellin in mid March. Are there any specific events we should be planning for around that time?
Any tips are much appreciated!
- February 20, 2014 at 10:36 am
We are going to Medellin in June for a Bachelor Party, but wanted to get your opinion on Cartagena for a city to visit prior to the actual debauchery. It would be for adventure, drinking, and sight-seeing.
- August 6, 2014 at 8:27 am
I heard the Museo del Oro is captivating in Bogota. I would certainly want to visit it.
Cocora Valley and Cartagena too!

About LINCOLN
Lincoln is the luxury car marquee used by Ford; the company was established in 1917 by Henery Leland and bought out by Ford in 1922. The brand was named after Abraham Lincoln, a hero to Leland who was also one of the founders of the Cadillac Motor Company (acquired later by General Motors). Lincoln is a 100% American brand and company and a history of providing official state limousines for the US President.
During the 1980's and 1990's the Town Car was the flagship model of the Lincoln range but the changing tastes of consumers meant that larger, more rugged capable vehicles were in demand and the SUV revolution commenced. In 1998, Lincoln launched the Navigator SUV which powered Lincoln to the number one best selling luxury brand spot in the United States and helped Lincoln dominate the luxury SUV market in North America. Lincoln recent model launches include the 2009 MKS sedan and 2010 MKT Touring.

I received an email via our iPhone App from a mother who was concerned because her 2 year old son had skinny arms and legs, but a "big tummy" and she thought this might be a symptom of celiac disease. Most toddlers have "big tummies" even if they are skinny kids as their abdominal musculature (future 6 pack) is not developed.
I often have questions from concerned parents whose children are growing perfectly normally, but their "belly sticks out". This is often a comment made about little girls (gender specific concerns already!) and I tell the parents that there are not many toddlers that don't have protuberant little tummies.
If you go to the pool in the next several months, check out the baby pool, as this is not a good age to wear a bikini or "speedo" with that big tummy pushing down the bottoms, save that look for later on.
Now, what do you typically look for in child who you suspect might have celiac disease? Celiac disease typically causes failure to thrive in young children. I know this well, as I got this question wrong on my oral boards many years ago, and have spent the last 20 years making sure never to miss a case. (maybe I should leave that little tidbit out?)
At any rate, you see symptoms like persistent diarrhea, weight loss or failure to gain weight, a large protuberant abdomen, and a lack of appetite (no, being a picky eater does not count). Because celiac disease is an auto-immune disease where the body responds abnormally to a protein (gluten) found in foods like wheat, rye, barley and many other prepared foods, it differs from a food allergy. A food allergy typically causes symptoms like hives, wheezing or vomiting.
The first step in testing for possible celiac disease will be a blood test on your child. This will show if there are elevated levels of antibodies, called tissue-trans-glutaminase (tTG), in the blood. If a child has high levels of these antibodies (tTG), then a biopsy of the small intestine may be taken to confirm the diagnosis.
A small bowel biopsy is done while a child is sedated, through an endoscope, and actually takes a small piece of the lining of the intestine to see if the villi are flattened and damaged. The gluten in the diet of a child with celiac disease causes these changes to the intestine, and once gluten is removed from the diet the villi will return to normal and normal absorption of food will take place.
If a child is confirmed to have celiac disease (which is as lifelong problem) they have to remain on a gluten free diet, which means restricting many foods and drinks. A gluten free diet, while seemingly difficult to adhere to at first, will allow the child to grow and develop normally and your child will typically have more energy and feel better in general. After being on a gluten free diet another blood test may be done to confirm that the tTG level has come down.
With the advent of more gluten free products it has become easier for parents and children to follow a gluten free diet. There are many websites that help teach a family to read labels (similar to those with a food allergy) and to also provide resources for recipes or products that are gluten free.
Although I continue to look for a patient with celiac disease, I have yet to diagnose one, and remember to consider the diagnosis in any child who is having "failure to thrive".
That's your daily dose for today. We'll chat again tomorrow!

text: Hooray, one of our nations most wanted/feared man is dead. Personally, it isn't a celebration to me. Yea, The man has ton a damage to not only our country, but to families.. Which is heartbreaking and my heart goes out to those that were effected. The thing that bothers me the most is that in the bible, it says that all sin is equal. Romans 3: 23-24 summed that up quite nicely. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". I'm not perfect, And I sin everyday even subconsciously I'm sure. If all sin is equal, and I sin everyday, how is Bin Laden's murders and plots for mass killings of Americans any different? Human beings Point of views are so diluted compared to God's, We think like People, not like God. To sum this up, Yes, I'm happy that a person who causes harm to my fellow Americans has been stopped. No, I'm not happy about the way we approached it. I'm proud to be a American, I'm proud to be a Christian.

UPDATE 1-Standard Bank in talks to sell UK commodity arm to ICBC -source
(Adds details, spokesman comment)
JOHANNESBURG, July 30 (Reuters) - South Africa's Standard Bank is in advanced talks to sell its London commodity trading business to its biggest shareholder Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, a person familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.
The deal would mark the latest move by Africa's top bank to hive off businesses outside the continent as it focuses on building its presence in fast-growing sub-Saharan markets.
Talks between Standard Bank and ICBC, which owns about 20 percent of the Johannesburg-based lender, were progressing, said the person, who declined to be identified because the information is not yet public.
A spokesman for Standard Bank said in a statement the two lenders were "jointly exploring areas of greater co-operation, including global markets and commodities".
Britain's Sky News earlier reported that Standard Bank's London foreign exchange trading operation would likely be part of the deal.
It was not immediately clear how much Standard Bank was asking for the business and when the deal would be announced.
Standard Bank last year finalised the sale of 80 percent of its Argentine business to ICBC.
The bank said in November it planned to cut up to 15 percent of its London staff to save $100 million. (Reporting by David Dolan; Editing by Sonya Hepinstall)

I l love how they're called "welfare epics" even though they take a lot of skill, dedication, and intelligence to get. Unlike raids where people can not carry thier own wieght and get epics, that doesnt fly in arena. People who call them welfare epics must've earned thier other epics by fighting static bosses in raids that never do anything different at all. That sounds difficult.

EasyWP Install: A better way to install wordpress
May 16th, 2009 - Backend, Wordpress - 1 Comments
EasyWP is an installation script for wordpress. Instead of downloading the archive, unzip it, upload etc all you have to is upload this script to your server and run it. It will take it from there.
Well there are other easy ways of doing this like upload the archive to your server and unzip through the cpanel's filemanager (x3) or through SSH but little things like EasyWP that make our life easier are always welcome.

Donate to the Johns Hopkins Center for Bariatric Surgery
Obesity is a debilitating condition affecting the physical as well as emotional health of thousands of people. Diabetes, sleep apnea, abdominal hernias, respiratory issues as well as many other chronic diseases are directly correlated to the condition of obesity. Bariatric surgery is a commonly used treatment for weight loss in obese patients. As a result of these surgeries, the quality of life for patients is improved dramatically, while also decreasing the risk of other diseases.
As a part of the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, The Johns Hopkins Center for Bariatric Surgery provides a multi-disciplinary approach to caring for patients. The team prides itself on its superior long-term successes. Our surgeons have performed over 3,000 bariatric procedures and have one of the lowest complication rates in the United States.
Johns Hopkins Medicine owes its existence, and its continuing excellence, to the generosity of individuals. With very limited funding currently available and decreasing every year, private philanthropy allows Johns Hopkins Medicine to continue its ongoing efforts as a leader in innovative and compassionate treatment, groundbreaking research, and cutting-edge education. The research programs of the Center for Bariatric Surgery —which directly benefit patients—focus on interests such as the improvement in diabetes after gastric bypass, innovation in minimally invasive surgeries and the study of surgical outcomes in an effort to improve operative strategies and techniques. Such research initiatives have been made possible through the generosity of our grateful patients and donors.
Contributions to the program can be made in support of bariatric surgery in general or can be restricted to benefit the work of a specific surgeon or area of research within the program. To make an online contribution, please use this link and complete the required fields. In the gift designation menu, choose "The Center for Bariatric Surgery Fund." If you would like to direct your gift to a specific surgeon or area, please note that in the "Other designation" field.
Thank you for your partnership. With your help, we can continue to make major strides in advancing our research and providing a better quality of life for patients. For additional information or to explore other giving opportunities please contact:
