Group Visits
The Riverton FamilySearch Library is pleased and eager to offer the opportunity for individuals, organizations, and others to schedule a group visit to our library. We offer a variety of options that are sure to provide interest to your group.
Please review the following guide lines for scheduling a group visit. Scroll to the end of this page for the link to submit a request for a group visit after reading the information below.
- Group Size: Because of our staffing, regular patrons, facility and equipment limits we limit the total of visitors in groups to 85 per session. This can be a single group or multiple groups meeting separately or combined. Please do not come to the library with more than 6 people without a group reservation. This ensures that staff, building facilities and computers will be available to support your group and their objectives.
- Request Procedure: All requests for group visits should be made using the link below for the online registration form. Telephone reservations are not accepted. Each request will be confirmed by email within 1-2 days. Please check for your confirmation and reply to it acknowledging your agreement with and receipt of it. If your preferred date is not available, one of the alternate dates you request will be selected and confirmed. If none of your dates and time are available you will be advised to submit a new request. Because we often are at scheduled capacity, please do not bring a group to the library on a night your reservation has not been confirmed.
- Available Times: Evening group visits (Tue, Wed, & Thu) will begin either at 6:00 PM or 7:15 PM. and all visits will last for one hour and thirty minutes. Daytime reservations (Mon thru Sat) will be accepted for any time between 9:30 AM and 3:30 PM. Groups need to conclude their visit, including any time for refreshments, no later than 8:55 PM.
- Refreshments: If you would like to serve refreshments as part of your group visit, please make a notation in the remarks of the registration form so we can coordinate the requests. Refreshments are only allowed in the building cafeteria.
- Supervision: Adults accompanying youth groups should prepare to actively participate with their youth. For example: if the youth will participate in Indexing, then each adult in the group should be registered and have some experience with Indexing before the visit. Local family history consultants are an excellent resource to bring with your group and will provide continuity after your visit.
- Printing: Copies of any documents found during your visit can be printed at the library for a nominal charge. Print cards can be purchased at our Welcome Desk with either a $2.00 or $5.00 credit on them. Additional incremental amounts can be added to them at any time. Black and white, letter size copies are $0.05 each. Color prints are $0.30 for letter size (8½" by 11") or $0.60 for tabloid size (11" by 17").
Important for a Successful and Rewarding Visit
LDS Account Login: Very Important! Each LDS Member of the group needs to have an LDS Login Account before coming to the Library. Please have them log into https://ldsaccount.lds.org or another church account site to make sure their Username and Password are working.
LDS Account Registration: For members who don't have a current account, have them register for one prior to your visit. They can do this by going to https://ldsaccount.lds.org and clicking on the Register for an LDS Account button on the right side of the screen and entering the necessary information, which includes their church membership number and birth date. Their membership number is on their temple recommend or can be provided by their ward clerk. Youth 8-12 years old (under 13) will also need permission from a parent and the parent's membership number. To activate a new account, an email address is needed.
Personal Family History Information: Except for Indexing visits, please have everyone attempt to create a personal Pedigree Chart with as much family information as possible.
Specific Goal or Objective to Accomplish: Each group should have an idea or goal, before they arrive, of what they would like to accomplish during the visit to our library.
Selecting the Group Presentation: Select from the following options. We are not able to combine presentations in a single visit and suggest that you schedule additional times for other topics of interest.
Group Visit Options:
The first six options include a short presentation, 20-30 minutes, in one of our meeting rooms with the remainder of the time in the library.
1. Introduction to the FamilySearch Library An overview of our facility,web site, tools, applications, and equipment available in our library and on the computer's desktop.
2. Introduction to FamilySearch Family Tree (The replacement for New FamilySearch)
A demonstration of the functions, features, and use of the information available in the FamilySearch Family Tree. The Family Tree is a new approach to genealogy. We will also demonstrate creation of the popular 9-Generation Fan Chart.
This version of Family Tree supports full navigation of your genealogy tree where you can:
• Explore trees, families, and individuals.
• Edit and improve data about a specific individual.
• Attach sources, including links to online sources.
• Watch and receive notifications about changes to ancestors.
3. Research Quick Start
A focused presentation demonstrating popular research web sites used to find specific information on your ancestors.
4. Introduction to Indexing
An overview of the why and how of indexing and a demonstration of the indexing application for indexing in the library or at home.
5. Preparation for Pioneer Trek
A presentation on how to identify a pioneer ancestor, locate the pioneer company they were in and then find information on them, including how to identify family members requiring temple ordinances. Creating a 9-generation fan chart is also demonstrated.
6. Introduction to Family History (ages 8 - 12)
An overview of our facility, web site, tools, applications, and equipment available in our library and on the computer's desktop from a young person's perspective.
7. Group Visit without a Presentation
Designed for those who have been trained or oriented but just want to schedule a time where group members can go directly to the library and make use of the computers with our staff assistance as needed.

It's not just diapers Nadya Suleman is up to her neck in—she's also buried in a mound of debt.
The woman better known by her tabloid nom de plume as Octomom has officially filed for bankruptcy, E! News can confirm.
"I have had to make some very difficult decisions this year and Filing Chapter 7 was one of them. But I have to do what is best for my children and I need a fresh start," Nadya tells us.
Per court documents filed today in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by E! News, the 36-year-old Suleman is seeking Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection, claiming she's no longer able to pay her bills, has less than $50,000 in assets and owes between $500,000 and $1 million in liabilities.
Among the creditors listed are Amir Haddadin (who owns her La Hambra home), Orkin Pest Control, Kaiser Permanete, the DMV, Sparkletts Bottled Water, Verizon Wireless, DirecTV and Sylvan Learning Center.
The news comes just five days after Orange County Social Services announced it had found no signs of neglect following an investigation into reports it received that the tabloid fixture had been neglecting her brood.
No word exactly how much money she owes her creditors. Whatever it is, apparently all those reality-TV specials she did and the nude photo shoot unfortunately didn't make a dent when it came to the cost of caring for 14 children.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT generated six unanswered goals during the fourth quarter to come from behind to defeat Massachusetts Maritime Academy, 8-6, in a NEWMAC men's lacrosse game on Saturday. Sophomore Paul Orrson (Baltimore, Md.) led the way for the Engineers (9-7, 4-2 NEWMAC) with a game-high five points on three goals and two assists. Sophomore Reed McLean (Wilbraham, Mass.) paced the Buccaneers (7-8, 1-5 NEWMAC) with two goals in their final game of the year.
MIT will continue its season next week as the No. 3 seed in the NEWMAC Tournament. The Engineers will visit either Babson College or Springfield College for a semifinal match-up on Wednesday, April 30.
Although the first half was a back-and-forth affair, Massachusetts Maritime controlled the action as it held a 2-1 edge at the intermission. Sophomore Anthony Kurylak (Exeter, N.H.) put the visitors on the board after 2:23 expired while the lead grew to 2-0 at the 9:03 mark of the second quarter courtesy of a solo effort by freshman Ryan McNeill (Burlington, Mass.). MIT ended the shutout less than three minutes later on Orrson's unassisted marker.
In the third quarter, Orrson found sophomore Graham Francis (Palos Verdes Estates, Calif.) for the equalizer with 10:13 on the clock. The Buccaneers responded with four straight goals to establish 6-2 lead late in the frame. McLean recorded the first two tallies a minute apart as freshman Sam Jarvis (Laurel Springs, N.J.) earned the assist on the first strike at the 8:22 mark. Junior Dylan Freundenberg (Islip, N.Y.) quickly redirected a feed from freshman Andrew Lawrence (Reading, Mass.) while sophomore C.J. Hanson (Melrose, Mass.) capped the scoring spree with just under three minutes left in the period.
MIT's comeback bid began 20 seconds into the final frame as Orrson converted a pass from freshman Harris Stolzenberg (Weston, Fla.) for a man-up strike. Sophomore goalie Eric Bartell (San Diego, Calif.) turned away three shots by the Buccaneers before freshman Michael Traub (Aliso Viejo, Calif.) found the back of the net to bring the Engineers within two (6-4) at the 8:57 mark. Orrson then cut the deficit in half exactly 3:12 later as Stolzenberg evened the score at six with 4:25 left to play. After an exchange in possessions, Stolzenberg registered what proved to be the game-winner with 2:45 on the clock.
Massachusetts Maritime won the ensuing faceoff that resulted in a Jarvis shot sailing wide of the net. Moments later, the Buccaneers were awarded an extra-man opportunity; however, a turnover nine seconds in gave the ball back to MIT with 1:32 remaining. Following a successful clear, the Engineers attempted to run out of the clock until Orrson found Francis for an insurance marker with nine ticks left.
Stolzenberg finished with two goals and two assists as senior Joel Santisteban (Lawrence, N.Y.) compiled seven groundballs and three caused turnovers. Senior Britt Cyr (Cincinnati, Ohio) went 9-of-16 in faceoffs and posted five groundballs while junior John Kramer (Glastonbury, Conn.) totaled four groundballs and four caused turnovers. Senior Tim Wilczynski (Old Lyme, Conn.) chipped in three groundballs as Bartell produced six saves and five groundballs.
In net, senior Paul Painten (Walpole, Mass.) tallied five saves, four groundballs, and two caused turnovers in the first half while freshman Keison Cunningham (Weymouth, Mass.) finished the game for the Buccaneers with six saves. Sophomore Nicholas Foley (Kingston, Mass.) was 7-of-10 in faceoffs for Massachusetts Maritime as senior Stephen Ferro (South Deerfield, Mass.) tallied five groundballs and four caused turnovers. Senior Fernando Biwer Paz (East Sandwich, Mass.) came up with four groundballs while freshman Eric Murphy (Danvers, Mass.) had three groundballs and two caused turnovers.

The Herschel Survey Backpack draws inspiration from some of the first generation scouting bags and makes it a modernised interpretation while staying true to the brand's heritage aesthetic. The Survey Backpack is a versatile everyday bag to carry and accomodate all your everyday needs.
The Survey Backpack features two compartments. The spacious main compartment is accessible via a flap top closure that is held down by buckle straps. The buckle straps stay in place with the use of simple strong magnetic clasps, making it easy to open and close the bag. The buckle straps can be adjusted to suit how much gear you are carrying. The main compartment is a rigid single space that allows you to store and stash all your gear: from books, binders, clothes, food - anything you throw at it. Although there is no dedicated laptop sleeve, the Survey Backpack can fit up to a 15" laptop. Rushfaster strongly recommends that you only carry a laptop in this bag if you have a protective sleeve to accompany it. The secondary internal compartment is a smaller zippered space designed to stash smaller items such as wallet, phone, keys, pens and the like. Lightly padded, straight cut, adjustable shoulder straps give enough comfort for daily travel.
"The perfect bike bag. I'd been looking at this bag for a while and everything lived up to my expectations. It's a great size, i use it when i ride my bike and it fits vinyls perfectly, which is a bonus. I've been getting a lot of compliments for it too!"
"Perfect for a uni student. The design is good, great size and color. Bought it as a gift for my sister. She really likes it!"
"Great quality and very comfortable. Perfect for everyday use! Really happy with the quality of this bag. I use it everyday and is super comfortable! Very fast shipping."
"Great laptop bag. Fits my daughter's laptop perfectly and is very stylish, sturdy and lightweight."

The Eco Chick Guide to Life is a roadmap to greener living for the modern girl. Author Starre Vartan covers fashion, makeup, cleaning supplies, pets, drinking, food and more in this easy-to-read guide. When it comes to transitioning into a greener lifestyle, Vartan leaves no questions unanswered. She explains food and clothing labels, breaks down the reasons to go vegetarian, and spells out every acronym. Read on to see what we thought of this comprehensive book for the green living.
Even as it's apparent that Vartan is an eco-maven, her tone is completely unpretentious; in fact, it's hyper-casual and downright conversational. The guide reads like a Cosmo article, and that's not a bad thing for the distracted, multi-tasking modern eco-chick. The tagline is, "For every eco-friendly fashionista who wants to reduce her carbon footprint while wearing fabulous stilettos," and the text is written in a perky alliterative style and sprinkled with "Chickie Tips."
But even though the word "chick" makes me cringe, I have to admit that Vartan's schtick is encouraging. Eco Chick makes green living accessible and fun. She gives easy how-to instructions for making your own toothpaste, perfume and compost pile. She manages to be comprehensive without sounding didactic.
The book is best read in small, useful doses, and it's functionally divided into the main areas of a young modern woman's lifestyle. The chapter "See the planet — without polluting it" struck a chord with me immediately, as I love to travel. (In fact, I am posting this review from Tokyo. I read the book on the flight.) And I'm going back to the section on how to make your own toothpaste as soon as I get home. And the part about earth-friendly kitty litter. And probably the section on vegan cocktails. There are definitely some web sites I need to hit up.
Locating relevant sections when you need them is easy. Vartan included an extensive index and a chapter-coordinated list of excellent web sites (including Inhabitat) and books, as well as suggested search terms.
One thing Vartan does is to include profiles of real-life "Eco Chicks," including Inhabitat founder Jill Fehrenbacher, who shares tips on how to green your bedroom and living space.
Vartan's perky tone can seem irreverent at times but it's possible to glimpse a burning seriousness below the chirpy veneer. "The depressing truth is this; our lifestyles, right now, depend on being wasteful, taking advantage of less-fortunate people, and consuming in a way that cannot be sustained in the future," she writes in the introduction. And it's the combination of seriousness and light-hearted optimism that inspires and empowers the reader.

A collection of 130-year-old photographs of the ten men accused of the Maamtrasna murders has been published for the first time.
The collection includes two pictures of Myles Joyce, a native Irish speaker, who was executed for his alleged part in the 1882 murders following a court case in English.
It is widely believed that he was not involved in the murder of the Joyce family.
The Maamtrasna case was described by British historian Robert Kee as "one of the most blatant miscarriages of justice in British legal history".
The photographs were collected by a former British army officer, whose grandson has passed them on to the National Library of Ireland.
The other images can be viewed on the website www.coimisineir.ie.
Coimisinéir Teanga Seán Ó Cuirreáin said the photographs "add poignancy and highlight the personal tragedies of the Maamtrasna case".

That old adage about how you can never have too much power seemed less and less valid while barreling out of corner after corner. Bolstered by a G-Power supercharger system, the V8's response from just the slightest nudge on the gas pedal was instantaneous and savage, sending the traction control scrambling to rein it in and the rear end squirming as it tried to put down the power.
It sure seemed like too much power on that canyon road, but then trying to unleash 600 hp in such tight confines is an act that sits on the fine line between bravery and stupidity. Brave because there's a sense of being strapped into something that's beyond your control, like on the back of a rhino that has just broken out of a meth lab. And stupid because, well, that seems pretty obvious if you have any sense of self-preservation.
So that afternoon in the mountains was spent trying find that sweet spot where you're making serious progress and flirting with the limits while at the same time keeping calamity at arm's length. Given the explosive power delivery, calamity felt a lot closer than arm's length.
If there are any complaints about the E90 M3's V8, it's the lack of low-end torque. Its over-square dimensions mean it's designed more for high-revving power than off-the-line holeshots. Even so, it's easy to just cruise around town without ever having to dip into the throttle or use high revs. But the power hungry are never satisfied.
We know of at least five companies who offer supercharger kits for the current M3. There's VF Engineering, ESS Tuning, Gintani, Active Autowerke—and G-Power from Germany. This is the first G-Power-equipped M3 we've come across and we're told only a handful of them are here in the U.S. That's mostly due to pricing, as the kit in this M3, the SK II Clubsport "Sporty Drive," costs roughly $20,000.
While costs did factor into the owner's decision, reliability and reputation were what swayed him to G-Power. Knowing that German tuners have to pass TÜV approval and that the ASA supercharger G-Power uses has also been used by the likes of Alpina and TechArt reinforced his decision. Of course, the cache and exclusivity didn't hurt either.
The SK II Clubsport package is G-Power's most powerful system for the standard M3, which the company claims produces 600 hp and 427 lb-ft of torque. The company's M3 GTS package puts out 635 hp. This SK II Clubsport kit is based around an ASA T1-522 "kompressor" and G-Power's cast-aluminum intake manifold, carbon-fiber airbox, intercooler, larger injectors, cooler spark plugs, polyamide intake runners and remapped software. Boost, according to the company, is approximately 6 psi, which is actually one or two psi lower than some of G-Power's competitors.
The whir of the spooling supercharger and the whine of the belts and pulleys compete against an Akrapovic GT4 titanium exhaust that growls and howls like guard dogs at the gates of Hades. G-Power also wrote new software for the dual-clutch transmission so shifts between gears are blink-of-an-eye quick, and engagement is firm.
Transferring the power to ground are a set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s. They're mounted on a set of Interad Super Concave 10-spoke, three-piece, forged wheels that were custom-made for this car. When taken to the track, the car runs on 18-inch Apex Arc 8 wheels and Continental slicks. Those 18-inch track wheels dictated that the owner go with Brembo's 365mm (14.4-inch) discs and six-piston calipers up front and 345mm (13.6-inch) discs and four-piston calipers out back. The calipers were painted G-Power orange for visual pop. KW Variant 3 coilovers replaced the stock shocks and springs.
As configured, the car rode firmly but always stayed composed. It dove into turns enthusiastically and didn't mind late and trailing brakes, but turn-in response might have been slower than stock because of the wider disparity between the widths of the front tires compared to the rears. Instead of 20mm difference on the stock car, it's 40mm, which in theory would mean more understeer.
The car held its line like a champ but you could sense the fronts starting to give, although this was at ridiculous speeds. The owner set the KWs near the middle setting range in terms of firmness, and perhaps another click or two firmer would help keep the body motion under better control during hard acceleration and side-to-side transitions. But, then again, maybe I was over-driving it.
That test drive in the canyons was an exercise in restraint because there weren't many stretches long enough to let the engine run to redline. And when the straights appeared, it was instant tunnel vision, a blur of canyon walls, trees and shrubbery. It didn't matter which gear the transmission was in; the power came on relentlessly and didn't run out of breath on the top end. This car's most natural habitat would be the autobahn or on wide open desert roads in the West, where that old adage about too much power would be more valid. Tight roads might be fun and challenging, and even frightening, but the M3 feels like a caged (and rabid) animal in those confines.
Aesthetically, the car is unique because it uses a Hamann body kit that was designed for an M3 coupe. The wizards at Ranz Motorsport in South El Monte, Calif., reshaped the side skirts and front bumper to look as if they were designed for the sedan from the start. On the front bumper, they opened up the lower air intake to feed more air to the cooling systems, smoothed the bumper out and then painted the entire lower section black. Ranz also took a stock M3 hood and cut larger cooling vents into it, as well as adding vents to the rear bumper. Hamann's rear roof spoiler and trunk spoiler add visual weight and aerodynamic function the rear.
Inside, it's just as different. Top Stitch, also of El Monte, covered the headliner, pillars, sunvisors, door panels and BMW Performance steering wheel in Alcantara. They then replaced all the black stitching with white thread and added a racing stripe to the center of the seats. In terms of personalization, not many other M3s look quite like this one.
Or drive like it. The G-Power supercharger has transformed this M3 from a car that was perfectly usable and more than fast enough into something of a beast that you need to approach with caution. You can try to tame it, but it may break your spirit before you break its own.

What is the connection between cancer and birth defects? Lawrence Brody, Ph.D., Senior Investigator, Genome Technology Branch, and Head, Molecular Pathogenesis Section, says they have more in common than meets the eye.
" The connection between the two areas of research in my lab requires an extremely technical explanation," said Dr. Brody, whose laboratory in the Genome Technolgy Branch at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) investigates the genetics of breast cancer and neural tube defects (NTDs). "But there is growing evidence that perturbations in folate metabolism, which is implicated in NTDs, can play a role in cancer pathogenesis."
Dr. Brody says he has always been interested in the whole organism or the whole population approach to understanding the origins of health and disease rather than just one narrow area of research. That is why he wants to learn as much as possible about potential influences on cancer, particularly breast cancer.
His laboratory is investigating mutations in the two known breast-cancer-linked genes, breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1) and breast cancer gene 2 (BRCA2), and their roles in inherited breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility. In 1994, in one of the early studies to provide a definitive link between specific genetic mutations and increased risk of cancer, Dr. Brody and his co-workers reported that women who carry mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 have a higher risk of developing both breast and ovarian cancer than women who do not have these genetic mutations.
Furthermore, Dr. Brody's laboratory discovered that specific BRCA1 mutations are present at an unusually high frequency (1 per 100) in the general Jewish population. His laboratory conducted the first study to directly test the DNA from volunteers who are outside cancer-prone families and to estimate the cancer risk associated with each genetic alteration. More recently, in collaboration with scientists at Howard University, Dr. Brody's laboratory identified eight distinct protein-truncating (shortening) mutations and another six rare variations of BRCA2 in a group of African Americans with breast or ovarian cancer.
Today, Dr. Brody's team continues to study these two populations to better understand the risk of cancer associated with specific mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. In addition, the team is collecting information on all identified mutations in these two genes worldwide. More than 2,000 distinct genetic mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 have been reported so far. Because women with BRCA1 mutations account for only 5 percent of all breast cancer cases diagnosed every year, there is growing consensus among scientists that not all BRCA mutations carry the same risk of cancer.
"There are a number of older individuals with deleterious BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations who do not appear to have disease. There also are many mutations whose clinical consequences are unclear. Even the confirmed deleterious mutations do not guarantee that a carrier will develop cancer," he explained.
Dr. Brody's laboratory also is attempting to understand how normal, or wild-type, BRCA genes function to maintain healthy cells. Both BRCA1 and BRCA2 are tumor-suppressor genes that, when functioning normally, are believed to help repair damaged DNA (a process that also prevents tumor development). He and his co-workers have demonstrated that wild-type BRCA1 regulates key effectors that control the G2/M DNA damage checkpoint, a mechanism that prevents cells with genomic damage from entering mitosis. Wild-type BRCA1, therefore, appears to be involved in regulating the onset of mitosis and cell reproduction.
Wild-type BRCA1 protein, through its interactions with DNA replication proteins and histone deacetylases, appears to be important to normal cell growth and reproduction, according to Dr. Brody. The carboxyl terminus of BRCA1 contains two "motifs" found in several DNA repair and cell-cycle checkpoint proteins. These motifs have been shown to bind to a number of other nuclear proteins critical to DNA replication. His lab showed that this region interacts with two histone deacetylases, proteins involved in modulating the transcriptional activity of certain genes leading to cell growth arrest, cellular differentiation and apoptosis (programmed cell death).
Recent research also has uncovered an unsuspected and surprising role of the amino terminus of the BRCA1 protein, Dr. Brody explained. That's because this end of BRCA1 is a "RING finger" protein, a class of proteins known to have E3 ligase activity. E3 ligase catalyzes a key step in the ubiquitination pathway, a cellular pathway that recognizes misfolded proteins in the nucleus and targets them for degradation, thus keeping the cell functioning normally. Defects in the normal ubiquitination pathway are likely to cause a range of illnesses, including cancer, said Dr. Brody. Currently, his team is attempting to identify the proteins ubiquinated by BRCA1.
"What we are doing now is trying to decipher the targets of ubiquitination," said Dr. Brody. "We are excited about this avenue of research because soon we will be able to put a face on and assign a function to this extremely important gene."
As if all this were not enough, Dr. Brody also studies NTDs, one of the most common birth defects in the United States, occurring in approximately 1 in 1,000 live births. The most common type of NTDs - open NTDs - occurs when the brain or spinal cord, or both, are exposed at birth through an opening in the skull or vertebrae. Spina bifida, the most common open NTD, often requires surgery, and is often associated with life-long medical complications, including paralysis. A better understanding of the root causes of NTDs is a critical need for the medical community, said Dr. Brody.
Ireland has one of the highest rates of NTDs in the world, and Dr. Brody's laboratory is collaborating with researchers at Trinity College in Dublin and the Irish Health Research Board to search for genes controlling NTD risk. A large group of affected families from Ireland is participating in the study. To date, the team, which also includes investigators at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, NIH, has identified human genetic variants in most of the genes encoding the enzymes of the folate, vitamin B12, and homocysteine metabolic pathways. Recent investigation [bmj.bmjjournals.com] by this group has established that perturbations of one of these metabolic pathways account for a large fraction of NTD cases. The group also plans to measure the biochemical and functional consequences of these variants in experimental animal models as well as in affected patients.
" There is strong evidence the genes involved in these metabolic pathways are putative NTD genes," said Dr. Brody.
True to his nature, Dr. Brody wants to see the big picture when it comes to understanding folate metabolism, including its role in DNA repair. Folate, a water-soluble vitamin that is part of the vitamin B complex, plays an important role in methylation reactions and DNA/RNA synthesis. Perturbations in folate metabolism are likely to lead to aberrant cell growth, said Dr. Brody. In addition, a growing body of data indicate that low folate intake may increase the risk for a variety of cancers. A better understanding of the genetics of the folate metabolism pathway, therefore, is likely to have implications for a number of conditions besides NTDs, including cancer.
"Birth defects are the canary in a coal mine," explained Dr. Brody. "Genes that affect the fetus are most likely candidates for variation that may affect other adult diseases, including cancer. So, it is not too much of a stretch to envision our work in breast cancer genetics and folate metabolism beginning to overlap in the near future."

Bucs to take on Alabama, Memphis
- Updated Jan. 11 - 10 a.m.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (Jan. 10, 2013) – The ETSU men's tennis team gets the spring season underway this weekend, heading to the University of Alabama Tennis Complex in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Friday for the two-day Crimson Tide Indoor Invite.
ETSU – ranked No. 71 by the ITA – will take on a pair of ranked opponents over the course of the weekend. Friday, the Buccaneers get the tournament started with a doubles session against No. 33 Memphis around 3 p.m., followed by a singles matchup against No. 53 Alabama. On Saturday, ETSU and Alabama play each other in doubles at approximately 11 a.m.., before the Bucs close out play with singles against Memphis around noon. All matches will not count toward dual records, and all times listed are Eastern Time.
The Buccaneers will send seven to compete against the two nationally ranked squads. One of the seven is senior Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela), who is ranked No. 19 in singles by the ITA in the Ohio Valley region. The 2012 Atlantic Sun Tournament MVP is also ranked No. 7 in the region in doubles alongside junior Roger Ordeig (Gurb, Spain). ETSU also boasts the No. 8 doubles team in the region, consisting of senior Juan Ramirez (Asuncion, Paraguay) and junior Jorge Varon (Valencia, Venezuela). The other three Buccaneers heading to Tuscaloosa are Rogerio Ribeiro (Sao Paulo, Brazil), Ricardo Pabon (Bogota, Columbia) and Connor Knox (Bristol, Tenn.).
Over the fall, ETSU had doubles encounters against both Alabama and Memphis. At the USTA/ITA Ohio Valley Regional Championships in October, Memphis' David O'Leary and Joe Salisbury defeated the duo of Bandres and Ordeig in the quarterfinals, 8-6. Ramirez and Varon met another Tiger duo at the same tournament, defeating Connor Glennon and David O'Hare in the round of 16, 9-8. In ETSU's final tournament of the fall season, the UGA Bulldog Scramble, Ordeig and Ribeiro took down Alabama's Stuart Kenyon and Brian Conlon, 8-4.
Recaps of ETSU's play will be available at the end of each day by visiting ETSUBucs.com.

London: Liverpool came back from a goal down to salvage a point against Newcastle on Sunday, extending the Magpies` 18-year wait for a win at Anfield.
After the opening stages the smart money would have been on a home win, the Reds controlling proceedings with ease, but after taking their foot off the pedal Yohan Cabaye opened the scoring just before the break in wonderful style. However, an equally if not more spectacular effort from Luis Suarez earned the hosts a point in the second half.
Brendan Rodgers reverted back to the same starting line-up that drew with Everton in their last league game, with Steven Gerrard making his 600th appearance for the club. The visitors made three changes from their last tie with Papiss Cisse, Vurnon Anita and Steven Taylor all returning.
Raheem Sterling was the main protagonist in a bright start from the hosts, the winger nipping past Anita on two occasions in the opening ten minutes as he caused the Magpies problems. The away side held firm, though, with the Reds failing to actually pose any real goal threat - the one exception was Suarez being denied a good chance when Fabricio Coloccini slid in to block, though the striker believed he should have had a penalty.
Tim Krul was finally tested with 20 minutes gone. Nuri Sahin played in Suarez with a neat ball with the striker`s low effort forcing the Magpies keeper into a fine save with his feet. The Uruguayan went close again ten minutes later when he headed just over after a magnificent diagonal ball from Gerrard.
Pardew`s men offered barely any resistance as the Merseyside outfit were comfortable yet uninspiring, aside from the odd moment of brilliance from Suarez and one skillful run and shot from Suso, which deflected over for a corner.
However, with 43 minutes elapsed, Cabaye gave the visitors the lead in superb fashion. Andre Wisdom`s foul throw ceded possession and Ben Arfa beat former Magpie Jose Enrique with a lovely piece of skill, before clipping a cross to the Frenchman, who controlled the ball and slammed a half volley past Brad Jones.
Mirroring the first half, the Reds came back out on top. Ten minutes in, Suarez forced Krul into a diving save with a curling effort. The forward then turned provider as he slotted in Sahin whose shot deflected wide. Rodgers` men showed no signs of halting their dominance in possession, shots, corners et al, but still struggled to find a way through the opposing defence.
But, as is so often the case, a moment of magic from Suarez finally brought the Reds level. Enrique sent a long, hopeful ball up field with the attacker lurking by Coloccini`s side, the 25-year-old outpaced his man before bringing it down with his shoulder in breathtaking style, then rounding Krul and passing into the empty net.
More persistence and determination saw the forward break free of Coloccini on the right-flank, before somehow getting the ball across to Jonjo Shelvey. The substitute had the goal at his mercy but just couldn`t connect properly.
As the atmosphere at Anfield launched into full flow with 20 minutes left, the game also livened up and became more open. Sterling was denied a sure goal by a brilliant recovery tackle from Taylor, with Ben Arfa then seeing his effort saved by Jones.
The drama wasn`t isolated to chances alone, with around five minutes left Coloccini saw red for a very late challenge on Suarez, the defender sending his studs into his opponents leg well after he had shifted the ball on.
The Reds tried to take advantage of the extra man, Shelvey wasting two good chances to win it late on and a deflected Suarez free kick nearly evaded everyone in comical style, just bouncing over the bar. However the Magpies continued to work even harder and held on to a vital point.

Humanitarian Efforts Database
The Humanitarian Efforts committee has created a Humanitarian Efforts database.
Distinguished Award for Humanitarian Service
The President presents this award at the Opening Ceremony to an Academy member who is widely recognized for a consistent, stable character distinguished by honesty, zeal for truth, integrity, love and devotion to humanity and a self-giving spirit. The awardee is an outstanding example and model to emulate for a life dedicated to a nobler, more righteous, and more productive way for the human to live as an individual on this earth. The awardee is well known for professional excellence and has demonstrated professional dedication by the giving of professional skills freely, and without desire for personal gain or aggrandizement, to those in this world who cannot otherwise, physically and financially, receive them.
Wide Range of Opportunities to Help
Humanitarian work is not only disaster relief, but includes a wide range of service opportunities to improve medical care or education that benefit under-served populations. In the U.S., it may include volunteer work through a local free clinic, head and neck cancer screenings at a health fair, or visits to a Native American reservation, plus financial and moral support of residents and other otolaryngologists who do humanitarian work.
Huge contributions can also be made abroad: surgical missions, visits to teach newer surgical technologies (e.g., endoscopic sinus surgery), or research efforts to understand the scope of ENT diseases in developing countries. Some Academy members have found retirement as a time to shift their focus to volunteer work, starting foundations, moving to become the only otolaryngologist in a region, or helping to train new otolaryngologists in a department abroad. Residency is also an optimal time to participate. Find humanitarian information specific to residents.
Make a Difference in the World
Consider other opportunities. Is there a local hospital or religious organization that takes such trips, where you could add an otolaryngology component? Do you have language or other personal ties to some area of the world? Contact the International Federation of Otolaryngology Societies (IFOS) or any local contacts to create your own opportunity. Learn more about humanitarian work abroad.
At the AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting & OTO Experience
To find out more at Academy meetings, check the program for instructional courses on worldwide service in otolaryngology, or stop by an theHumanitarian Efforts Committee Forum to hear about other Academy members' mission trips. These meetings also have large numbers of international participants, so introduce yourself and see if you can offer some sort of service.

About Gina B.Close
Experimenting with materials in layers and mix. Emotional response to materials and of course, gesture. Movement and vision experiments with the materials. Pouring, splatting, seeing, not seeing, sprinkling, flinging. Careful and neat; messy and careless. The willingness to just go in and have the delight of image come back to you.
About Gina
I've completed two graduate degrees: one in Music and the other in Dance and Theater studies.
My undergrad degree is from The Juilliard School and it is in Dance.
I've taught children and grown ups for many years. I have a strong performing career and love the way teaching keeps me in a giving and learning place.
*** Lesson Details ***
With beginning students I am very laid back and patient and believe strongly that in the play of games and experiments technique will develop and manifest. As the student becomes more advanced I become more demanding as do the materials.
As an Acting teacher I have the capacity to take students along all the way to professional and beyond. I'm a membe
For Dance, I have a wide knowledge and can teach several forms as well as history and materials. In Juilliard I specialized in historical dance of the French Court which is also known as pre-ballet. At present I am studying Tango and other ballroom forms and can teach the beginning levels as well as help choreograph for weddings or events. Of course I also teach Ballet and many forms of Modern Dance. I adore teaching dance composition. To help a dance student make their own dances is very fulfilling.
For the Visual Arts I teach Abstract Painting as well as Installation and Performance Art.
*** Studio Equipment ***
I have supplies and space. Visual Art students need to contribute to materials by finding or purchasing whatever they like and adding to the mix. My students are welcome to use what I have here and I am always adding materials. Many people throw away materials that are perfectly good for art making so keep your eyes open and you'll find all kinds of good things. Visual Art students need to book a 2 hour minimum and I will lower the price if you just let me know you need it.
My fees: I start at a higher fee and after you've been a regular student we can lower the fee for you if you need.
*** Travel Equipment ***
just a space to work in - we can create a work space out of any space.
*** Specialties ***
In dance I teach classical ballet principles for beginners or those who are returning and want to work carefully and privately. I teach from the tradition of Alfredo Corvino's principles of relationship to organic forms and structures for sound development. I studied with Mr Corvino for years and continue to study with Ernesta Corvino.
For acting I teach a combination of classical acting technique with American sense memory and relaxation skills. I am well versed in the teachings of Lee Strasberg and then spent time in London to 'fill in the cracks' of my training with analytical skills as well as the various european influences that the Royal National embrace.
I teach creative discovery in combination with classical devices so the student can discover their own artistry while learning actual classical devices for accomplishing specific goals.

For as long as I can remember I've been drawing in my free time. After going to Art school and learning how to draw on a professional level, I took note of how I was taught how to draw and am very confident on teaching you how to use a wide variety of tools to draw a wide variety of things.
About Moataz
My promise to you is that I will teach you everything I know in the time I'm given and provide you with all sorts of outside resources to get you on your way to fluency and proficiency.
I'll make sure to do my absolute best to get you speaking a new language from day one, learning a Design program immediately, or teaching you how to letter with the rules they don't teach you in school. And best of all, I'll even show you how to actually make money with all of these.
I have a very unique journey into learning where I experienced many places and got a fresh and different understanding to the many su
My Design work has been very general so I've done a lot of different things before I specialized in hand lettering, so I've done it all from advertisements on billboards to website design and development, to copywriting, to branding from start to finish for companies big and small.
My love for lettering and Calligraphy emerged when I started getting more Logos for client work and my exploration of type wasn't the best answer most of the time so I would letter everything myself, and the rest is history.
I am really passionate about learning and even more passionate about sharing what I've learned. I am efficient, I know what works for different people since I taught in classrooms and tutored way before I knew about Takelessons, and I'm most proud of being praised as a very genuine person. A very common compliment I get is that I sincerely want my students to do well. And it makes me really happy every time someone says it, and I hope that one day you see that and tell me the same thing.
Feel free to find out more about me and ask me anything you want, and I really look forward to one day teach you something that will get you to achieve your goals! :)
Just so there are no surprises, I raise my prices very slightly every 3 months, next time it will go up is on March 3rd 2017. The reason for this is because I get better and more efficient at teaching as time goes by, so that hour that you get now is much more packed with value than the same hour last year or last month.

About Kerstin R.Close
I graduated from the Harvard Graduate School of Education in June 2007 with a Master in Education (Arts in Education) degree. During my studies I worked in the framework of the Artful Adventures Program (Museum of Fine Arts in Boston), which provides object - based learning and hands on artistic experiences for elementary and middle school kids. My own research was about "Creative Insight in Practice" and "Acquiring English as a Second Language and Developing Self-Esteem through the Idiom of Art". I have more than a two decades-long experience in painting, drawing, printmaking and installation work.

Would you like to learn to draw the world around you? Look no further! I am a professional, exhibiting visual artist and drawing is my passion! I have a Masters in Education and have been teaching for over 10 years. I have experience with adults and children alike and absolute beginners are welcome. I will design a personalized curriculum to fit your needs. I will show you how to train your hand to work with your eyes, how to draw light and shadow, perspective, contours, how to use your materials, and much much more!
About Jessica
My drawings tend to celebrate the beautiful and surprising in the mundane. I have worked in a variety of media but my preferred material is good old-fashioned pencil on paper. I have had solo and group exhibitions, my work has been published in print and online, one of my drawings is on the cover of a philosophy book, I have exhibited at several art fairs, and I have won many fellowships, grants, and artist residencies.
You will begin to notice improvements in your skills after the first class!
I look forward to drawing with you.

Want to learn how to draw and paint and you don't know where to start? Interested in improving your drawing skills? I will help you to train your eye to easily see shadows/light transition to create shapes and volumes. You will master useful drawing and painting techniques that will allow you to express your vision. I'm working with graphite, charcoal, pen and ink wash for drawing and oil materials for painting. Shoot me a message to see if we're a good match!
About Mariana
My students can expect to improve week to week in their drawing and painting techniques. While gaining knowledge of the fundamental principles of perception—light, plane-structure, tonal value, perspective, proportion—students will learn to construct images that realistically and accurately interpret objects in space. This solid foundation will enable students to express their personal creative vocabulary more clearly and effectively.
I teach students of all different ages and experience levels.
My personal passion is realism in classical and contemporary art but I firmly believe that great technique is essential to any and every style. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to become a better artist!

Are you an artist at heart looking to develop your skills? Are you planning to apply for a top-notch art school and need some help with your portfolio? Are you curious about the Adobe software but felt too overwhelmed by all those functions? Whatever your story, my style draws the best in you, so you can excel.
As a graduate from Pratt Institute and New York University, and an experienced professional in graphic design, web design, and marketing communication, I bring a depth of knowledge that is rare to find. Throughout my career I've been mentoring junior designers. At home, I helped prepare my brother for the School of Art and Design (where he got accepted) and Cornell University (where he currently studies).
If this sounds good to you, great! Let's talk.

By now most of our readers have heard of this book and author, a Jesuit priest and founder of Homeboy Industries—the largest gang intervention program in the country. It's tough, it's wrenching, but it is also deeply inspiring and leaves the reader with a measured hope that these "homies," as the gang members are called, will turn their lives around to stay. Boyle recounts each of their stories by theme and amply demonstrates the profound role that kindness and unconditional love play in their lives. Boyle's ministry is lauded nationwide; he has worked the California barrios for 20 years. In a review of the book in our May 17 issue, J. Peter Nixon calls it "a profound work of theology." It is an important read for anyone in ministry to troubled youth, for parents and teachers, for the general public. Visit our Web site and listen to the interviewAmerica's online editor conducted with Fr. Boyle not too long ago. Then buy the book!
