The Minority Diversity Initiative (MDI) in the Human Genome Sequencing Center (HGSC) aim to increase the number of underrepresented minorities in the genomic sciences. Our MDI consists of a summer research program called the HGSC-Genetics/Genomics Research Education And Training (GGREAT) program, and a post-baccalaureate program called the HGSC-Pre-Graduate Education Training (PGET) program. The HGSC-GGREAT program selects six undergraduate students from local universities to participate in our nine-week summer biomedical research program. The HGSC-PGET program selects three HGSC employees with bachelor degrees and five recent college graduates to participate in our post-baccalaureate enrichment program.
We accept African American, Hispanic American, Native American and Pacific Islander undergraduate juniors and seniors into our summer program. All program applicants should have a 3.0 (and above ) GPA and major in one of the following: chemistry, biology, computer science, mechanical or electrical engineering to name a few. This internship is a paid, 9-week, residual program.
All HGSC-GGREAT participants have the opportunity to participate in cutting edge research projects while here at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM). Students are placed according to their disciplines and interest, and work in biomedical research labs, engineering labs, or bioinformatics labs. Our Robotics Laboratory, Bioinformatics Department, New Technologies Laboratory, cDNA Technology Laboratory, and HAPMAP Laboratory provide summer research opportunities for the HGSC MDI students. We also place students in laboratories in the BCM Molecular and Human Genetics department. The summer program provides a stipend and housing expenses, and the post-baccalaureate pays the non-BCM employee's salary for one year.

She says, "I love that the final ad images are unretouched. It's so important for girls to remember that real beauty shines from within and I'm so proud that Bongo is choosing to send such a positive message with this campaign."

Duana Names: No J, no way.
I'm a few weeks away from my due date and my husband and I are at a loss for boy names. Our first is named and Henry and it was the ONLY name we agreed on at the time.
We're expecting baby number two and easily picked our girl names (fairly traditional with Rebecca and Katrina as our leaders) but are at a loss for boy names.
Twist: our last name starts with J and I abhor alliteration with first and last names. Makes me think of characters in a Kate Hudson RomCom. No Andy Anderson for me.
We flirted with Wilfred (family roots) as a first name and enjoyed it in private but then my husband told his mother and she flipped out. Knew it was a stretch to begin with so that one is gone.
Now we're at a loss and time is ticking.
Recently we both liked the name Edgar. Yeah, we're that desperate.
Help, Duana!
What were you doing telling his mother anyway?
Here's another one of those things that is a family tradition for some and a totally weird aberration for others: some people make a big grand announcement of the name precisely six hours after the child arrives into the world, and their friends and family text each other all "do you think that was what they meant to send? Maybe they're just tired".
Then again there are some people who decide on a name around the six month mark and will tell anyone who asks what it is. They aren't going to be swayed by opinion (and of course, nobody's gonna offer an opinion when they're so clearly stuck on Zeek or whatever it might be) and blithely release the birth announcement with the name everyone knew firmly in place. I used to think these people were deploying decoy names, and that the real one would be revealed but apparently that's a name nerd's way of thinking.
Regardless, you need some names. Henry goes with almost anything so you're lucky that way, and we can happily stay away from your dreaded "J". But if there were so many you rejected last time, I suspect I'm not going to bother with the usual suspects – right?
It seems like, with Wilfred (which I very much like) and Edgar on the maybe list, you could easily go for one of my faves I believe is coming back:
Sophisticated, charming, goes with Henry. There is no reason why Arthur shouldn't become the next name of this generation. But if it's not for you, how about Hugo? Sounds different enough from Henry that the two together won't seem aliiterative. Still, maybe the two H's are too close.
How far from Henry will you go? Callum? Gerald? Malcolm? Do you need me to bring up Barnaby again?
And then of course my other favourite recently, though it's longer than Henry: Frederick. Like Wilfred, without the ubiquitous 'Will' anyway.
The thing is, as we know, nobody's going to like everything. The only way around this is to not tell people. If Wilfred is ruined for you, so be it, but I think you could go back there and own it. Either way though, you'll ultimately probably say the name almost as much as the kid will in his lifetime so it's more important that you like it than anyone else.
Let me know what happens!
Wait – one more thing! Recently you both liked Edgar – then there you go! What's the desperate? Because you want to find something with a different "feel" than that? Because it doesn't seem like it's Henry's brother? Because it seems old or presidential or grown up?
If you like a name, it's yours. Nothing desperate about it. Or am I missing something?

Are you moving to a new country/region and planning on taking your Xbox? Find out what you need to do to make sure you can use your Xbox console in your new country/region.
Important If you're trying to use these steps to resolve any backward compatibility account region errors, changing your account region will not resolve these issues. These steps are only for when you're moving and need to change your country/region.
If you have moved to a different country and want to make Xbox purchases in your new location, you will need to change your region.
Moving your country/region for your Microsoft account may affect your services and subscriptions. The following is what you need to know about changing your country/region:
Your gamertag, unlocked achievements, and the rest of your Xbox profile information moves with you.
The funds in your Microsoft account will not move with you. Be sure to spend the money in your Microsoft account before you change your account location. We can't transfer money between regions.
Any time left on your Xbox Live Gold subscription will be moved with your account to the new country/region.
If Xbox Live Gold subscriptions aren't available in your new country/region, your current subscription will remain active but might not work anymore. If you find this to be the case, cancel the subscription to stop recurring billing. To cancel your subscription, go to How to cancel your Xbox subscription.
If you have other subscriptions (such as XNA Creator's Club, Call of Duty Elite, or Monster Hunter), your subscriptions will remain active in the new country/region but may no longer work. If you have recurring billing, you'll still be charged until you cancel the subscription. To do so, go to How to cancel your Xbox subscription.
If you have a current Groove Music Pass, it will be canceled as part of the move. Your collection will stay the same, subject to availability and region-specific licensing rules, if you subscribe to Groove Music Pass again after you've changed to a new region. If you use an Xbox Music Pass on a Windows Phone, you'll need to reset your phone to manufacturer settings when you subscribe in a new region.
Important If you're trying to use these steps to resolve any backward compatibility account region errors, changing your account region will not resolve these issues. These steps are only for when you're moving and need to change your country/region.
Follow these steps to update your settings to your new country/region, and then restart your Xbox One console. When you make your first purchase in the new locale, you'll be prompted to update your billing information.
To change your country/region on Xbox 360, you can't simply update your location as with Xbox One. Instead, you'll need to migrate your Xbox profile, which could impact other subscriptions and services.
Here's how to change your country/region on the Xbox 360 console:

February 03, 2018 - The Air Force 270 draws design cues from 1992's Air Force 180, a shoe famously worn by Charles Barkley. Built with the all-new Air 270 unit, the shoe certainly amps up the air. That's not all: A custom D-ring strap and molded lateral Swoosh further distort the Air Force 270's iconic predecessor with contemporary styling.
The Air Force 270 launches February 10 on SNKRS and at select retailers.
August 23, 2018 - Imagine a running shoe that combined the plush, responsive ride of Nike React foam with the breathable support and structure of featherweight Flyknit — and then slid in the full-length carbon-fiber plate found in the now-legendary Nike Zoom Vaporfly 4%. Would it be one of the world's fastest, most durable racing and tempo shoe? The reality is here in the new Nike Zoom Fly Flyknit.
How to Get It
North America
The shoe is available September 13 on nike.com, the Nike app and select Nike Doors and retailers.
Available September 13 on nike.com, and the Nike app in Germany. On October 1, the Nike Zoom Fly Flyknit will be available at nike.com and the Nike app throughout Europe. On October 4, the shoe will be available at select Nike Doors and retailers.
Available September 27 on nike.com and at select retailers, including Topsports, Pousheng, Really, Sanse and Highwave.
Available October 4 on nike.com
August 20, 2018 - Each material used in Nike ACG's Ruckel Ridge has a specific purpose — as well a nod to Nike's outdoor heritage — that gives wearers the ultimate all-conditions shoe.
Here's the breakdown.
- Upper: A speed lacing system and Internal 4D Fit-Mesh upper hugs and moves with the foot.
- Midsole: Pressure absorbing Poron Foam provides unrivaled shock absorbency.
- Outsole: A GravelRockMoss System improves traction allowing for superior stability and durability.
The Nike ACG Ruckel Ridge will be available August 25 in select retailers and on SNKRS and SNEAKRS apps.
August 18, 2018 - Nike ACG's Dog Mountain comes equipped with a durable rubber tread outsole and anti-slip lacing system for superior traction and support. A backward ACG mark is stamped on the outsole, so when wearers walk through snow or mud, ACG will be imprinted on the ground right side up.
Nike ACG Dog Mountain will be available in three colorways beginning August 25 on SNKRS and SNEAKRS apps.
August 16, 2018 - Last spring, Nike worked with Maria Sharapova to create the La Cortez, her take on the classic silhouette inspired by the city of Los Angeles. The second iteration of the La Cortez comes to life this fall as Sharapova prepares for Flushing Meadows, finding inspiration from the beauty of New York City in autumn as leaves morph from green to the earthy hues found across the shoe. Soft satin laces complement the leather upper, and Sharapova's signature lollypop icon is etched on the back heel cuff.
The Nike La Cortez x Maria Sharapova releases August 22 at Bandier only, and August 23 on nike.com and at Nordstrom x Nike sneaker boutiques.
August 16, 2018 - Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne are no strangers to fusing seemingly disparate elements of street and high fashion. Their brand, the award-winning Public School, is predicated on the energy of their hometown, New York City, and its style diversity. Born from this environment, the duo's interpretation of fashion includes recognizing a few tried-and true-standards, like Nike's 1982 classic, the Air Force One.
To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the AF1 last year, Chow and Osborne created an all-new high version of the shoe by deconstructing low, mid and high models and using the unaltered pattern parts to reconstruct their own vision of the icon. That shoe, the PSNY AF1, will launch in three colorways (black, white and grey) at PSNY's pop-up space on 3 Howard Street, New York, on September 4. A global release follows on September 5.
August 15, 2018 - The Nike Rise React Flyknit combines the best qualities of its namesake properties: the lightweight support of Flyknit and the responsive comfort of Nike React foam.
The laceless Flyknit upper conforms to the foot in a contoured, reductive design.
The Nike Rise React Flyknit releases September 1 on nike.com and at select Nike retailers.
August 14, 2018 - The Air Jordan I Hi OG NRG colorway takes inspiration from professional BMX rider and Nike, Inc. family member, Nigel Sylvester. Serving as his go-to riding shoe, Nigel's AJ1s are often seen with heavy distress marks created during the trial and error part of mastering tricks.
This pair mimics those marks with distressing done by hand on a discolored Sail, white, Varsity Red and Muslin colorway. For the medial Swoosh, a reflective material is employed to provide a flashing effect while night riding. Within the inner collar of the shoe is the designation "Jordan Biking Co., Est. 2017," which signifies the year the project was kicked off. Finally, the heel exhibits scuff marks reminiscent of the abrasions on Nigel's old AJ1s.
In addition to those elements, the shoe features a mini Swoosh on the lateral toe box and a deconstructed lateral Swoosh and Wings logos.
The shoe releases September 1.
August 14, 2018 - Nike's newest football boot, the PhantomVSN, drops August 14 in an exclusive gold colorway. Each of the 1000 limited pairs comes individually numbered.
August 09, 2018 - Hello, new obsession! Devotees of Converse and Hello Kitty now have their own line of cheerful footwear. Inspired by the blank-canvas aura of both the shoes and the internationally beloved cartoon — Converse can be worn however you want, Hello Kitty can be whomever you want — this new collaboration features the Hello Kitty likeness on the classic Chuck Taylor All Star, Chuck 70 and One Star. Whether the anthropomorphic character is perched above the rubber sole of the All Star or peeking through the star of the One Star, the combined effect is playful, fun, and ripe for fans' self-expression. The line also includes apparel and accessories. The shoes come in unisex sizes for kids to adults.
The Converse and Hello Kitty collaboration releases globally August 16 at converse.com and select retailers.

2013 AVN Awards red carpet/Richard Corey
Three hundred XXX porn starlets balanced on the most preposterous of high heels, bared their busts and butts, flashed their flesh and strutted their stuff in slit and sky-high short skirts in the annual carnival of red carpet carnal charms at Saturday's 30th anniversary AVN Awards.
That was the official parade of pulchritude into the media room at the Hard Rock Hotel, which was jammed with Showtime TV cameras, photographers, reporters and videographers from all over the world. Another hallway overflowed, too.
Some 300 blonde and brunette bombshells never made it inside. They had to be content with tottering on outrageous steel-spiked stilettos into The Joint for the awards hosted by Jesse Jane and Asa Akira, who scooped up the most awards. AVN unveiled a gold statue for the winners of a man embracing a woman shaped in an Oscar statue pose.
The Hard Rock's halls were a voyeur's dream come true. Girls were there in all shapes and sizes, ages and experience (newbies and veterans). They spilled out of stockings and burst out of bras -- if they were wearing them. This was a designer's deliberate wardrobe malfunction even before it happened, and nobody cared.
Fans were jammed two deep on both sides of every corridor that led from all over the Hard Rock to The Joint. If an alien had landed, his first stop would've been to ask our Convention and Visitors Authority: "So it's true what you say about Vegas -- a one-party-happening town with thousands of sexy girls?!"
With the AVN cast of thousands, it could've become a new Las Vegas commercial: "What Happens in Vegas Only Happens in Vegas." It was the annual sea of sexiness that couldn't take place anywhere else in the world.
The three-hour awards, which ended at 12:15 a.m. today, capped four days of the 15th Adult Entertainment Expo, with exhibit booths dedicated to film, fetish fashions, toys, sex furniture and items so outrageous that I can't note them in this report. Frankly, I couldn't even fathom some of them myself.
Our thanks to contributing photographer Scott Harrison and videographer Richard Corey for their coverage. Even my trusty digital camera came in useful for photos (check back for those).
Everybody agreed that the most elegant and gorgeous duo were porn princesses Taylor Wayne and Jessica Jaymes. Riley Steele won fan awards for Favorite Porn Star and Favorite Body. Controversial headline-maker Nadya "Octomom" Suleman didn't show as promised, but she won for Best Celebrity Sex Tape.
In all, there were 144 awards, 18 of which were presented at the awards. Asa cleaned up for Female Performer of the Year, Best D.P. Sex Scene, Best Group Sex Scene, Best POV Sex Scene, Best Star Showcase and Best Three-Way. Her boyfriend, Spanish actor-director Toni Ribas, was on hand to congratulate her amid rumors of a Las Vegas wedding before they leave town.
Actor James Deen, who wouldn't talk with me about rumors of a liaison with Lindsay Lohan, won Male Performer of the Year and Crossover Star of the Year. He wouldn't talk to the audience, either, because of nerves; he made his acceptance speech with a drink in one hand, a cigarette in the other and with his back to the crowd facing the hosts.
X-rated rap video maker Tyga performed twice, comedienne April Macie got all the laughs, and one performer who entertained at the awards, which was recorded for future broadcast on Showtime, represented Cirque du Soleil's "Zumanity" at New York-New York.
We'll post our star video interviews later, and Monday the surprising possibility that if Measure B (requiring condoms) passes and is enforced in California, then the multibillion-dollar industry could move here. Las Vegas city officials are said to be in favor of that mega-bucks business relocating here, according to many in the adult film and video industry.
Las Vegas-based Brazzers won for Best Membership Site. Porn actress and Las Vegas resident Teagan Presley's moviemaker husband Joshua told me that he's been in City Hall meetings for serious discussions. He said he would shoot 24 XXX productions a year here if filming gets a Nevada green light after the L.A. County rules are enforced.
Check back later for more coverage, so to speak; you don't want to miss it!

Arguably one the coolest joints in town, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino houses some of Vegas' best entertainment, restaurants and nightlife.
At Hard Rock, it's all about the music. From the light fixtures made out of drum cymbals and guitar shaped door handles to stage costumes and tools of the trade of legendary musicians displayed on the walls, the hotel screams rock and roll. The Hard Rock's Joint has hosted some the biggest names in music — from The Who to Bob Dylan to hometown heroes, The Killers.Aside from the music venues, the pool at the Hard Rock is one of its biggest attractions. Spread out over 4.7 acres, the pool area features swim-up blackjack, a bar and grill, private cabanas, a bevy of secluded nooks, a waterfall and an extensive live music venue with a dance floor. During the summer, the pool transforms into the Rehab club on Sunday afternoons.
The resident nightclub Body English fuses European elegance with a rock star bachelor pad and it often a hot spot for visiting celebs and popular DJs. Vintage rock memorabilia lines the walls at Wasted Space, Hard Rock's anti-club.
Restaurants at Hard Rock are just as hip as the rest of the casino. Pink Taco serves up Mexican dishes, as well as a Central American and Caribbean menu. Nobu, one of five worldwide Japanese-specialty restaurants from famed Nobu Matsuhisa, satisfies a different taste. For round-the-clock cuisine, Mr. Lucky's 24/7, is sure to ease your appetite even after a Vegas-all-nighter.

Ellen DeGeneres loves to dance.
The talk-show host begins each episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" with a comedy monologue before joining her audience in a round of dancing to usher in the rest of the episode.
"A lot of people say coming to a taping of my show is like going to a dance party, " DeGeneres says on Wednesday's episode. "Which makes me realize I should start charging admission."
DeGeneres followed that quip with the announcement she will be releasing her first music compilation CD, "Ellen's Gonna Make You Dance JAMS." The CD features some of her favorite artists including Maroon 5, Madonna, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, C+C Music Factory, No Doubt, Usher, Aretha Franklin, The Jackson 5 and more.
"The great thing about a dance party, here's the key to it. You have to pick the right music...On this show we pay so much attention to the dance music we play here. And today I am very happy to announce that I'm coming out with a compilation CD that features a lot of my favorite songs," DeGeneres says of the tracklist, adding, "If these songs don't make you dance, nothing will."
To prove her point, DeGeneres then shows a video compilation of former audience members getting down to songs contained on the CD. Check out the video below.
The CD will be available in stores on Tuesday, Nov. 11and can be preordered at www.ellenshop.com. The compilation will also be available via online music retailers.

There's a disconnect for many kids in America between the science and technology they study in school and the real world. Most kids know what an iPhone is but have no idea who Steve Jobs is.
"I need scientists and engineers who would be what LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal are to their industry," said Dean Kamen the inventor of the Segway personal transporterand founder of FIRST, an organization designed to help foster innovations by kids in science and technology. "You need to put world class pros in front of kids."
The tide of cool is starting to turn when it comes to science, technology, engineering and math, thanks to tech superstars like Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook. And, seeing the names of Microsoft's Bill Gates, Apple's Steve Jobs or the Google guys on the list of the world's billionaires doesn't hurt either.
Still, if you do an informal poll of kids, more would want to be LeBron James than Mark Zuckerberg, even though statistically, that kid is more likely to get struck by lightning than to become a rich sports superstar.
A lot of companies and organizations like FIRST are trying to change that, investing in programs that encourage innovation — and teaching kids that innovation is cool. In order to help connect the dots between what those kids are tinkering with now and what they might become, here are more than a dozen of the most influential innovators of the last century, names you probably haven't heard of, even though their innovations changed our lives. They are the rock stars of tech.

According to Perry Hankins' obituary he died in Denver, Colorado where he was being treated for Tuberculous. I knew from a letter he wrote to his young niece in February 1922 that he was also hospitalized in Oteen, North Carolina before being sent to Denver. So when I first saw that database, I immediately thought I might find something more about Perry. And I did. But I didn't expect to find a record for his younger brother and learn that he was also treated for TB.
Before I found this record for James Hankins, I had no idea that Perry's younger brother also suffered from TB. There is no doubt this is the same James Hankins—his mother was Samantha Angeline and the family lived at Earlington, Kentucky.
Jimmy spent just over a year (16 Mar 1923-20 Mar 1924) at the Pacific Branch in Sawtelle near Los Angeles, California. And he recovered. He lived in the Los Angeles area for many years after that and died in Carlsbad, California in 1974.
Perry and Jimmy were sons of Thomas Leander Hankins and Samantha Angeline Petty and the two youngest brothers of my grandmother, Verda Waller Hankins McCauley. (Wednesday's post was Jimmy's marriage record from 1929.)
These records have much more than just hospital information. They have military information—date and location of enlistment, company, regiment and rank, date and location of discharge. And they have personal information—age, physical description, religion, occupation, marital status, name and address of nearest relative.

The Volvo 960, like every other car or vehicle the company makes, was known for its safety features and reliability. Volvo made these cars from 1990 to 1998 and gained popularity with small families, business professionals, and those looking for a solid, dependable car.
Like many of the automakers, Volvo started in the early part of the 1900s. Founded by Gustaf Larsson and Assar Gabrielsson, the company began with the intention of making reliable, safe, and high quality vehicles. The intention stuck, and Volvo is known for those qualities even today. As one of the first Swedish automotive manufacturers, Volvo gained almost instant popularity with its first car, Jakob. Within a short amount of time, the company started producing and selling four-cylinder cars under the PV4 and OV4 with a great deal of success. It was only a matter of time before Volvo introduced its products to the rest of the world.
Like most auto manufacturers, Volvo limited production during World War II. Shortly after the war, the company began to sell in the U.S. and started experimenting with new car designs. In the 1950s, Volvo produced its first small car, the PV444, with a great deal of success.
Volvo continues to be an important name in the car manufacturing world. The company offered a variety of options including the 960 Series.
During the production of the 960, Volvo could be counted on for frequent updates in regards to its safety features. Almost every model year adds on, or updates, the standard safety features available. This trait made the car very popular.
Much like the other Volvo car and vehicle lines, the 960 Series did not offer flashy or exciting cars. These sedans aimed to safely and effectively provide transportation. That isn't to say the 960 Series was unattractive. It actually had a rather unassuming body style that attracts little attention. The interior of the car offered comfort and function, and driver controls were easy to see and access. The 960 also featured a decent amount of space for the driver and passengers, as well as more than adequate cargo space.
After a significant run on the production line, Volvo chose to discontinue the 960 line following the 1998 model year. The last edition featured the same impressive safety features and options of the previous model years. Volvo offered this 960 model in three different trim levels: the base GLE, the Turbo, and the SE. Each model came equipped with unique features. The 960 was also available in wagon and sedan body styles.
In the SLE, or base model, Volvo equiped the 960 with a dual-cam 2.3-liter, four-cylinder engine. The turbo and SE models of the 960 featured a turbocharged 2.3-liter engine option. All models from this year came equipped with a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive capabilities. Anti-lock brakes and automatic locking differential as well as the driver's side airbag came standard as well.
The interior of the Volvo 960 was as comfortable as can be. These cars offered comfortable seating and a significant amount of head and leg room for the driver and passengers. The trunk or cargo hold provided an impressive amount of space as well. While not necessarily flashy, Volvo designs the cabin of the 960 to appealed to families and passengers.
As noted, the Volvo 960 Series was introduced in 1990 and ran until the 1998 model year. These cars typically offered a good choice for those seeking reliable and safe transportation. The second generation of the 960 Series remained very much like the 1998 version. Most owners and industry leaders considered these cars to be big, roomy, and comfortable. Reliability also ranked high on the list. It is important to note that several industry experts recommended owners take care of maintenance quickly, as these cars run more efficiently with regular tune-ups and oil changes. With good maintenance, the 960 Series had few problems or issues to worry about.
The first generation of the Volvo 960 was a bit harder to find than the second generation, as these cars are now reaching the twenty-year mark, and many owners tend to hold onto their cars. The first generation lasted from 1990 until the 1994 model year. The inline six-cylinder engine offered one of the most notable features of these cars. Most industry experts declare these motors to be reliable and solid, if not made to be fast off the mark.
1997 Volvo 960
Luxury, Sedan, Wagon
Despite being the company's flagship car, the 1997 Volvo 960 may disappear next year when Volvo debuts a few new cars and remodels some of its current cars.
1996 Volvo 960
At first glance, the 1996 Volvo 960 is simply just an upgraded version of the 850, but that is not entirely the case.
1995 Volvo 960
The 1995 Volvo 960 offers economy and dependability with its sound Swedish engineering.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 182 diseños de 40 diseñadores freelance.
Can you think of anything?
I am a 27 year old guy who has been working in the furniture industry for the last five years. I am working for an international company doing commercial furniture/interior design. I have decided to take the plunge and start my own business.
Through my website I will target home users, and small, medium and large business. I will also be targeting the business demographic in person. I am developing social tools on my e-commerce website to help sell my products so I will appeal to technologically savvy procurement officers hopefully making it easier to purchase office furniture for their workplace.
Name: I had thought of names but I wasn't happy with them.
They were: Invoke Design, Office3 (as in office cube).
I like these names but they are already taken in Australia:
Innerspace, Living Edge, Ergosystems, urbanoffice.
I need a name that will primarily appeal to businesses wanting to purchase commercial furniture but since I have some items that will appeal to home users I don't want a name that will disregard them.
I don't want a name with a number in the middle of it like "Furn2u" or "Office4me".
*** Important: The name must be available with a .com.au domain!
With my two attempts at names I devised a simple, minimalistic logo that consisted of the name in a modern font with the first word in bold. I would like to see a logo to match whatever name you think of.
I have a picture of the website I'm designing:
I need the art in a vector format like that produced by Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator.

Using plastic shopping bags could join indoor smoking and behind-the-wheel texting as the latest discouraged activity in California if lawmakers succeed in passing the country's first statewide ban on disposable bags.
The state Senate was scheduled to vote Tuesday on the bill but failed to pass it during an initial vote. It faced a midnight deadline as the Legislature finished its work for the current session.
The Democratic bill has been the subject of a furious lobbying campaign by the plastic bag manufacturing industry, which calls it a job killer.
Supporters of AB1998 say the 19 billion plastic bags Californians use every year harm the environment and cost the state $25 million annually to collect and transport to landfills.
"California is poised to lead a national movement against plastic bag pollution that is injuring and killing marine life and imposing a costly blight on our land," said the bill's author, Assemblywoman Julia Brownley, D-Santa Monica.
The ban, if eventually signed into law, would take effect in supermarkets and large retail stores in 2012. It would apply to smaller stores in 2013.
Republicans and some Democrats oppose it, saying it would add an extra burden on consumers and businesses at a time when many already are struggling financially.
"If we pass this piece of legislation, we will be sending a message to the people of California that we care more about banning plastic bags than helping them put food on their table," said Sen. Mimi Walters, R-Lake Forest.
In the days leading to Tuesday's vote, the bill's author amended it in an effort to gain more support. Most significantly, Brownley removed a provision that would have imposed 5-cent fee for customers who forget to bring their own bag and need to buy a recycled paper one. The proceeds would have gone entirely to the retailer.
Under the revised bill, retailers would be allowed to charge only what it costs them to buy paper bags. Stores would be required to provide free bags to shoppers who rely on government assistance.
The amended bill also designates $2 million from an existing recycling-promotion fund to be used to help manufacturers modify their plants to produce reusable plastic bags using recycled content. A state law that took effect in 2007 requires supermarkets and other large retailers to place plastic bag recycling bins in easily accessible locations and have reusable bags available for customers to buy.
Critics say the $2 million is not enough to protect California manufacturing jobs and that the state should focus on enhancing recycling programs to reduce bag litter.
The bill's main opponent, the Virginia-based American Chemistry Council, has spent millions in lobbying fees, radio ads and even a prime-time television ad attacking the measure. The organization represents plastic bag manufacturers such as Dow Chemical Co. and ExxonMobil Corp.
Last year, it helped defeat an effort by Seattle to impose a 20-cent fee on the use of plastic or paper grocery bags.
"Lawmakers should be working on real problems, not wasting their time on legislation to tell us how to bag our own groceries," the group says on a website devoted to AB1998, StopTheBagPolice.com.
Brownley described her fight with the American Chemistry Council as "a David and Goliath battle," but said she remained confident she would prevail.
Discouraging plastic bag use through fees or bans first gained traction outside of the U.S. in nations such as South Africa, Ireland, China and Bangladesh.
In 2007, San Francisco became the first American city to require supermarkets and large drug stores to offer customers bags made only of recyclable paper, plastic that can be turned into compost, or sturdy cloth or plastic that can be reused.
The cities of Palo Alto, Malibu and Fairfax have since followed, while a ban approved in Manhattan Beach is tied up in litigation, said Matthew King, a spokesman for Heal the Bay, the Santa Monica-based nonprofit that sponsored AB1998.
In January, Washington, D.C., implemented a 5-cent surcharge on disposable paper and plastic bags.
If AB1998 passes the Senate on Tuesday, the Assembly would have to approve amendments before sending it to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's desk.
After the Assembly passed an earlier version of the measure in June, the Republican governor issued a statement saying he supported a ban on plastic bags in California. However, he has not committed to signing the bill in its current form.
If the measure is defeated, either by the Legislature or a Schwarzenegger veto, some local government officials are ready to take matters into their own hands. According to Heal the Bay, officials in Los Angeles County, Redondo Beach and Santa Monica said they would pursue individual city- and countywide bans in the coming months.

Language Delays in Baby Boys May Be Linked to Testosterone
If it seems to be taking your baby boy a long time to say his first words, blame testosterone. A new study shows boys exposed to elevated levels of the male hormone while in utero have more than twice the risk of language delays compared to girls.
The Australian study used the umbilical cord blood of 767 newborns to measure how much testosterone the infants were exposed to during a critical phase of brain development. Language ability was then measured when those kids were 1, 2 and 3 years old.
Researchers' results showed that while baby boys with high testosterone levels were two to three times more likely to have a language delay than females, girls exposed to those same elevated testosterone levels didn't have similar problems — in fact, they had a lower risk of them.
The researchers noted the greater likelihood of language delays may be because male fetuses have 10 times the levels of testosterone than females.
"An estimated 12 percent of toddlers experience significant delays in their language development," said study lead author Professor Andrew Whitehouse at the University of Western Australia. "While language development varies between individuals, males tend to develop later and at a slower rate than females."
In a journal news release, he added, "Language delay is one of the most common reasons children are taken to a pediatrician. Now these findings can help us to understand the biological mechanisms that may underpin language delay, as well as language development more generally."
While the study, which appears in the Jan. 26 issue of the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, found an association between testosterone levels and language delays, it did not prove a cause and effect.

Keith Ellison is the DFL-endorsed Fifth District (essentially Minneapolis) congressional candidate nominated to succeed retiring 14-term incumbent Martin Sabo. If elected, as seems highly likely, he stands to be in office for a long time. The Minneapolis Star Tribune's lame coverage of the question "Who is Keith Ellison?" is therefore particularly disappointing.
Today the Star Tribune contributes another lame article by Rochelle Olson, meekly serving up Ellison's latest talking points responding to the crime wave that is engulfing Minneapolis: "Ellison wants war on crime, not Iraq, with 400 more officers." Well, thanks.
In the course of this series on Ellison, we have reported Ellison's long career attacking the Minneapolis police. In the same post we showed Ellison befriending and supporting Minneapolis gangsters. We have also showed Ellison supporting Symbionese Liberation Army terrorist Kathleen Soliah/Sara Jane Olson and attacking the FBI. In his day job, Ellison makes a living representing and trying to spring the murderers and thugs who are making Minneapolis unlivable.
For Ellison now to propose a fifty percent increase in Minneapolis police officers is about as absurd as Al Capone calling for more Treasury agents would have been. For the Star Tribune to report Ellison's proposal without ever having reviewed Ellison's public record on crime-related issues is journalistic malpractice.

Arkansas MFT Campus Programs
Interested in earning MFT degrees? A selection of accredited schools offer the Masters in Family Therapy (MFT) degree on campus. Study relationships amongst your peers. Learn about family systems. Explore therapeutic interventions for treating couples and families.
About MFT Degrees
The MFT degree is a graduate level program of study. It may appeal to students with a Bachelors in counseling or psychology. Some programs take about two years of full time study. That means about 60 to 66 credits. This does vary.
Learning Outcomes
The goal of a Masters in Family Therapy degree is to prepare the next generation of clinicians. These therapists (MFTs) have essential diagnostic, therapeutic and consultative skills. They work with populations ranging from children to the elderly. Their patients may also have a variety of emotional, intellectual, and psychological conditions. And problems caused by things like child rearing, divorce or violence. What sets them apart? They view the couple or the family as a unit.
MA MFT and MS MFT Degrees
Students typically choose from two paths. The Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy (MS MFT) and the Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy (MA MFT). The MS MFT is a professional and terminal degree. Students typically use this degree to prepare for their state licensure exams. The MA MFT typically involves more research and theory. Students may still use it to prepare for licensure. However, often it is a platform for PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy students.
Master of Marriage and Family Therapy Courses
Master of Marriage and Family Therapy courses cover a lot of ground. Students learn about relationship difficulties and behavior problems. These range from anxiety through to alcohol abuse. They also learn how to be professionals in their field. How to manage a therapeutic practice and conform with regulations. And moral codes. Searching for a MFT campus program is your chance to be on the look-out for interesting courses. The following are some examples of topics you might study in an MFT program:
- Couple and family development,
- Models of family therapy,
- Parenting,
- Human sexuality,
- Ethics in marriage and family therapy.
All states require marriage and family therapist to be licensed. In the state where they practice. Licensure is contingent on several things. One is a Master's degree. The other is 2,000 to 4,000 hours of post-degree supervised clinical experience. In addition, counselors and therapists must pass a state-recognized exam and complete annual continued education classes.i
Why Consider an On-Campus MFT Program?
Studying Marriage and Family Therapy on campus may be advantageous. Foster your counseling skills through role play. Engage with your peers in study sessions. Meet your teachers. Open yourself to networking and mentoring opportunities. Take part in campus research projects. Use the library, the gym or get involved in an association. These years may be formative. Personally, professionally and academically.
What Should I Look for in an MFT School?
First off, look for a Masters in Family Therapy degree that aligns with your interests. Each graduate school has something unique to offer. It might be a specialized track of study. Like sex therapy. Or family violence. Tailor your education to your career expectations. Also, look for an MFT school that helps you find a practicum site. You may have about 500 clinical hours to complete.
COAMFTE Schools
Accreditation is something to consider when looking for a Marriage and Family Therapy program. Many schools are regionally accredited. This means that the institution itself has been vetted and is not a "degree mill". Other schools have COAMFTE accredited programs. This means they model their curriculum on standards set forth by the Commission of Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy. This includes core courses and specific learning outcomes.
What Might I Do with an MFT Degree?
Marriage and family therapists are employed in different settings. MFTs work in mental health and substance abuse centers. They also work in hospitals and colleges. Some MFTs work in private practice. Others work in Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). An MFT degree also prepares students with skills that overlap with other counseling areas:
- Mental Health Counselors help people manage and overcome mental and emotional disorders and problems with their family and relationships. They listen to clients and ask questions, to help the clients understand their problems and develop strategies to improve their lives.
- Rehabilitation Counselors help people with emotional and physical disabilities live independently. They work with clients to overcome or manage the personal, social, and professional effects of disabilities on employment or independent living.
- Substance Abuse and Behavioral Disorder Counselors advise people who suffer from alcoholism, drug addiction, eating disorders, or other behavioral problems. They provide treatment and support to help the client modify problem behaviors or assist them in the recovery process.
- Social Workers help people solve and cope with problems in their day-to-day lives. Clinical social workers also diagnose and treat mental, behavioral and emotional issues.
Take the Next Step
Search for MFT Schools by location. Choose a specific city, state or country. Or just browse sponsored listings. Find out what makes one MFT program distinct from another. Request information from prospective universities easily. All you do is submit a form to get started.

2004 | Talk
Ended | Broadcast Syndication
The Tony Danza Show was a daytime variety talk show that premiered on September 13, 2004 in syndication and was distributed by Buena Vista Television. For its entire two-season run the show aired live in the Eastern Time Zone at 10 AM for markets that chose to carry it at that time. The Tony Danza Show was recorded at the ABC studio complex on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
The program was hosted by actor and New York native Tony Danza. For the first season Danza was joined by Ereka Vetrini as his co-host, with music provided by pianist Nadia DiGiallonardo. After the first season Vetrini, who gained fame appearing on The Apprentice, was let go from the program and DiGiallonardo took over most of her co-hosting duties.
On May 9, 2005, during a go-kart race with NASCAR star Rusty Wallace, Danza's kart flipped after Wallace accidentally bumped him. Danza suffered a concussion; neither he nor Wallace were wearing a helmet.
The most-viewed episode of the series featured the heavy metal band, The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, and their appearance followed an email from a viewer. The ratings, however, were not strong and in early March 2006, Danza told viewers that he was not sure if the program would return after a scheduled two-week hiatus. On March 24, 2006, the program returned with new episodes but after two more months The Tony Danza Show came to an end. The last live broadcast aired on May 26, 2006 with reruns continuing until September 15, 2006. VH1's The Best Week Ever then started an online petition to save the show.

The histone lysine methyltransferase nuclear receptor–binding SET domain protein 2 (NSD2, also known as WHSC1/MMSET) is an epigenetic modifier and thought to play a driving role in oncogenesis. Both NSD2 overexpression and point mutations that increase its catalytic activity are associated with several human cancers. While NSD2 is an attractive therapeutic target, no potent, selective, and bioactive small molecule inhibitors of NSD2 have been reported to date, possibly due to the challenges of developing high-throughput assays for NSD2. Here, to establish a platform for the discovery and development of selective NSD2 inhibitors, we optimized and implemented multiple assays. We performed quantitative high-throughput screening with full-length wild-type NSD2 and a nucleosome substrate against a diverse collection of bioactive small molecules comprising 16,251 compounds. We further interrogated 174 inhibitory compounds identified in the primary screen with orthogonal and counter assays and with activity assays based on the clinically relevant NSD2 variants E1099K and T1150A. We selected five confirmed inhibitors for follow-up, which included a radiolabeled validation assay, surface plasmon resonance studies, methyltransferase profiling, and histone methylation in cells. We found that all five NSD2 inhibitors bind the catalytic SET domain and one exhibited apparent activity in cells, validating the workflow and providing a template for identifying selective NSD2 inhibitors. In summary, we have established a robust discovery pipeline for identifying potent NSD2 inhibitors from small-molecule libraries.

Service Secrets is a new monthly column designed to help you get your service business on track. Each month, a successful service contractor will reveal the secrets to one aspect of their business. Start taking notes.
Paul Loveland is a man of faith, and he puts a lot of it in his employees. Now that he's left the field to focus on the business end of Loveland Electrical Service, his St. Louis-based residential service company, he entrusts them with the responsibility of representing the company when dealing with customers over the phone and in person. But he also relies on them for help with one of the most important things he does: hiring technicians. Everyone in the office — from the receptionist to the most senior electrician — contributes to the process, offering opinions on an applicant's conversational style, personal hygiene, and technical skill. They don't know it, but electricians looking for a job at Loveland Electrical Service begin their interview as soon as they walk in the door.
A new attitude. Three-and-a-half years ago when Loveland made the leap from residential subcontracting to electrical service work, he learned quickly that he was going to have to make some serious adjustments to his approach to hiring. During nearly three decades in the residential business, his main concern was just finding electricians with the technical skills. "In construction, if a guy has two legs and can walk, you can pretty much hire him," he says with a laugh.
On the other hand, service work requires employees to interact with customers daily, and they have to not only know how to install a new 400A service but do it while building a rapport with the customer. Suddenly the character traits Loveland was most interested in changed drastically. "Appearance and attitude became number one and number two," Loveland says. "If you don't have a good attitude toward people, how do you expect to work with them on a daily basis?"
Attitude and comfort with the public are such important character traits to Loveland that he's willing to do whatever it takes to find employees with both — even taking on a new apprentice. "I'm not afraid of hiring someone who's a good salesperson and training them to be a technician," he says. "In fact, I'd prefer to do that than hire a good electrician who isn't a good presenter in front of people."
With his criteria recalibrated, he set up an application process that asked the standard questions about work experience and references but went several steps further. Not only were applicants tested on their knowledge of the Code and principles of electricity, they had to take a lengthy personality test with true or false questions like "I have trouble changing my behavior to suit different people and different situations" that would assess whether they had the right frame of mind to work in the service industry.
But even that wasn't always enough to ensure he was hiring the right people. Something was missing from the exhaustive process, because the occasional dud would still make it through and collect a few paychecks before beginning to show signs of a questionable work ethic or sub-par social skills. Loveland needed an extra line of defense.
All in the family. Even when he was in construction, Loveland recognized the importance of treating his employees well. And in service work he understood that his technicians' job satisfaction would ultimately be passed on to the customer in a pleasant service call experience. He also understood that it took more than just high wages to make that happen. "It's not that we put a lot of money in their pocket, but we treat them like human beings," he says. "We have a lot of respect for them."
That respectful atmosphere eventually grew into a family-like dynamic. And then something else unexpected started to happen. Loveland's employees became protective of their new "family" and began to look out for its best interests. And that included making sure the right kind of people joined it.
Today, that protective interest in the company has all but become a part of everyone's job description. The receptionist, dispatcher, and even Diana Loveland, Paul's wife and partner in the business, pepper applicants with conversational-style questions designed to get a feel for their attitude and personality. All the while, Loveland's staff is making mental notes about the applicants' cleanliness (are their shoes dirty?), communications skills (do they slur their words?), and interest in the job (did they bring friends with them?). "You have to have a lot of positive attributes to even get into Paul's office for an interview," Diana says.
Those who do have to pass one final test: a ride-along with a technician. Loveland knows applicants put on a good game face for him, so he relies on the results of this one-day fact-finding mission to make his final decision. "When the pressure's off, they kind of let their hair down with the techs," he says. "And that's when we can see who they really are."
Last year was a good one for Loveland. He increased his fleet to 10 trucks, and plans to add more this year. And when they do, he has faith his system will help him find the right additions to his team of techs. "We give them ownership in what we do here," Diana says of Loveland's employees. "And by helping us with the hiring, they're acknowledging that they have a good thing going."
Sidebar: You Can Never Have Too Many Techs
For now, Loveland has all the techs he can use, but that doesn't mean he isn't still hiring. He's always taking applications, and if someone comes along who meets his criteria, he'll find a way to keep them around until he can put them in a truck. He'll often put them to work cleaning the warehouse or delivering tools because he recognizes that personable technicians are too valuable to let pass by. "We actually have more people now than we need," he says. "But I keep telling the guys that I don't want to let anyone go because I know what kind of people I have right now, and they're hard to find."

The Morris Arboretum was recently named a Level IV Accredited Arboreta by The Morton Register of Arboreta, achieving the highest level of recognition available. The Morton Register is a comprehensive list and database of arboreta and other public gardens that have a substantial focus on trees and shrubs.
The Morton Register was created to 1) foster the establishment and professionalism of arboreta, 2) identify arboreta capable of participating or collaborating in certain scientific, collections, or conservation activity, and 3) advance the planting and conservation of trees to improve the world. Arboreta are accredited at different levels depending on degrees of development, capacity, and professionalism.
Organizations in that have been awarded Level IV status have met the highest levels of arboretum standards including the following:
• A scientific and/or conservation staff and capability to collaborate on sophisticated scientific or conservation activities with other arboreta or organizations related to trees.
• Institutional capacity, stability, and commitment to hold and safeguard plants of collections or conservation value on behalf of the collective interests of the profession.
• Specific participation in collaborative scientific or conservation activities related to trees, such as the North American Plant Collections Consortium or the Global Trees Campaign.
The Morris Arboretum is the only arboretum in the Philadelphia area to receive this level of accreditation. When asked about this distinction, Anthony S. Aiello, the Arboretum's Director of Horticulture and Curator, said, "This recognition acknowledges the Morris Arboretum's standing among its peers as one of the leaders in collecting, growing, and teaching people about our trees. It is a testament to the work of all of our staff in making the Arboretum a place where visitors can enjoy, learn, and study the life of trees and their importance in the world."
The Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania is located at 100 East Northwestern Avenue in the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia. The 92-acre horticulture display garden features a spectacular collection of mature trees in a beautiful and colorful landscape.
Open weekdays 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and weekends 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Open late on Thursdays in June, July, and August until 8:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.morrisarboretum.org.

Interactive Scrapbook Page
I was inspired by Heidi Swapp and her Memory File system.
But mine has it's own twist.
The layout is on a 12x12 base.
And the pages are graduated, meaning they get a little larger in size as you move through them.
I found this a fabulous way to document photos and journaling from several events.
This one in particular shares highlights to my oldest son's summer of 2011.
April's WIP kit of the Echo Park was a perfect, perfect kit for this sort of project.
This is a look at the first layout after the cover.
Throughout the pages I included several of the tags that Trish included in the kit for journaling spots. They were perfect.
Notice on this page I included a generic 4x6 index card. I adhered it flap style, with room for even more photos underneath. I love how interactive this project is.
This is a view of the second page.
Manila folders were used here and there. Above it is used as background paper to sort of calm all the pattern. Don't get me wrong, love all the amazing patterns in this kit, but I just needed a home for a journaling piece and some embellishments.
Under the pattern paper on the left side of the page there are more photos and hidden journaling. Some things the teen male just doesn't want out there for all to see. So I made this for some privacy. The beauty of hidden journaling.
On the right side of that page there is an interactive flip book that made room for four more photos and words.
It is home to one other photo...painfully on the way to school orientation...(yikes...my focus is off...)
I do love this technique.
It still easily slips into the page protector of his album.
It is home to many events...but wrapped up into the theme of one summer.
It is home to 20 photos.
It was just plain fun to work on. And I love it when that happens.

Digital scrapbook and conventional scrapbook basically have many parallels. The primary objective of conventional scrapbook is to give a further significance of a picture or set of images through the use of designed webpages.

The Packers made their kicking competition a three-way dance on Monday when they signed Zach Ramirez, but three turned out to be a crowd in Green Bay.
The team announced Monday that Giorgio Tavecchio has been released after spending the offseason and summer competing with incumbent Mason Crosby for the kicking job. Neither of the kickers distinguished themselves with their work in preseason action, but the team obviously decided to go with Crosby's experience over Tavecchio's higher conversion rate during practices.
Tavecchio made one of the two field goals he attempted in the first two preseason games, but didn't attempt a kick in last week's game against the Seahawks.
Ramirez didn't play much in his final year at Portland State after injuring a ligament in his leg early in the season, but he was a standout as a junior and Crosby's not on the steadiest ground after a rough 2012 season. Whoever winds up getting the job for Week One, it's probably going to continue to be a spot where the Packers examine their options as the year unfolds.

- Investment flows yet to follow reforms to boost business friendliness
- Better infrastructure key to boosting trade between African countries
- Ministers note greater flexibility of Bretton Woods lending institutions
The uncertain global economic environment is hindering foreign investment in African economies and delaying the payoff that African countries expected after they improved their domestic business climates, African finance ministers said.
Speaking to reporters during the IMF–World Bank Annual Meetings in Tokyo, the ministers said the fact that Africa has maintained annual average growth of around 5 percent during difficult times for the world economy gave reason for confidence.
"The main concern, as has been stated in these Annual Meetings, is that we still have these uncertainties: we don't know what is happening next year in the world economy," Rwandan Finance Minister John Rwangombwa said.
Rwangombwa noted that Rwanda had enacted several reforms with the aim of attracting foreign investors. The country had dismantled obstacles to private investment, and in the last four years it had moved up in the "doing business" rankings by creating an environment for investment—both domestic and international.
Hampered vision
"These challenges in the world economy hinder us from seeing the benefits we should be getting from creating an enabling environment back home," Rwangombwa stated. "To maintain our growth rates we need to transform our economy from a predominantly agrarian to a service-based economy, and we need investors from abroad to be able to achieve this vision we have and, if these uncertainties are not dealt with immediately, that is going to hamper our vision going forward.
"Even when we have achieved maturity in terms of managing our economies, we are still reliant on the global economy in terms of investment and markets for exports," Rwangombwa said.
Economy Minister Kerfalla Yansane said Guinea needs appreciable extra resources to deal with social needs because more than half of the population is below the poverty line. "But we do not yet see substantial investment coming in to help us to meet the expectations of the population, and I think this is due somewhat to the international climate."
Namibian Finance Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila noted that prospects for a quick resolution of global economic and financial distress and for the resumption of strong growth in global trade were uncertain. "The protracted uncertainty in the outlook for the global economy, and especially the eurozone crisis, elevates the challenges going forward," Kuugongelwa-Amadhila said.
"These uncertainties will definitely affect economic activity and prospects in a small, open economy like that of Namibia. In light of that, Namibia has been preparing itself to best deal with instances of financial instability, from within and from outside."
Infrastructure upgrade
Responding to questions from reporters, the ministers stressed that increasing intra-African trade would boost growth and employment but depends on upgraded infrastructure throughout the continent.
Rwangombwa said the solution for sustaining future growth in Africa lies in expanding trade between African countries. Steps taken by countries to achieve this goal included regional integration, such as Rwanda's membership in the East African Community, which was operating as a customs union, common market, and free trade area.
"But the biggest challenge to trade between African countries is infrastructure—how we move goods from one country to another. There we have a problem," Rwangombwa said. East African Community members were working together as a bloc to attract investment in infrastructure, which made more sense than attempting to do so as individual countries.
Kuugongelwa-Amadhila said Africa is committed to, and is implementing, an integration agenda. The Southern African Development Community had already implemented a free trade agreement, and more than 80 percent of the goods that flow between its members were free of tariffs. The group was also moving toward a common system of customs administration.
Trade promotion
The community had a customs unions and a common monetary area, Kuugongelwa-Amadhila noted. The grouping had also set up an infrastructure fund to promote the development of cross-border infrastructure and achieve the physical integration of community members to promote trade.
Yansane observed, however that promoting intra-African trade also required political stability. Whenever instability arises in a country, leaders do everything they can to address it. He noted that the Economic Community of West African States promoted the free circulation of people and goods. "The subregion is the only one in Africa where there are no more visas required by the citizens of the various countries," Yansane stated.
He also noted that the community had also established projects that aimed for interconnections in energy that included a west African power pool. He said Guinea has plans to develop major hydroelectric dam projects for domestic power generation and for exports of power to neighboring countries.
More flexible IMF
The ministers said they believed the IMF and the World Bank are now more flexible in helping member countries to design programs supporting financial and other arrangements. "We no longer receive packages from the Fund or the Bank that say 'Do this, do that,' " Rwangombwa said. "They come in to support our efforts on where we want to go as a country. They just support us, they don't dictate."
Kuugongelwa-Amadhila said she had also observed a positive change in the way the Bretton Woods institutions related to developing countries. "Of specific interest is their embracing of the positive role that can be played by fiscal policy to support growth in the aftermath of what has happened to the global economy.
But she added that she would want to see "a more positive attitude" from the institutions toward recognizing individual country circumstances and diversifying lending instruments, as opposed to allocating them on the basis of "one size fits all."
Yansane noted that Guinea had recently graduated from the Enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor Countries debt relief mechanism. This opened a new phase in Guinea's economic development, and the country would need assistance in the period ahead. "There is more confidence between our countries and the institutions," Yansane said.
