text: Business Corruption in Senegal The Senegalese government under the rule of President Macky Sall has taken significant steps towards combating corruption and improving good governance, including the establishment of several anti-corruption agencies; for instance, the Ministry for the Promotion of Good Governance, the National Anticorruption Office, the National Commission on Restitution and Recovery of Ill-gotten Assets, and the Court of Repression of Economic and Financial Crime. The body of laws criminalising corruption is well-established in the country. Senegal has joined several international conventions, such as the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) and the African Union Convention on Preventing and Combating Corruption. Corruption among lower-level public servants is common and petty corruption is a daily fact of life, according to the Bertelsmann Foundation 2014. Despite the comprehensive body of law criminalising corruption and several government initiatives, there are still significant deficits in terms of implementation. It is important for companies to keep in mind that corruption poses a great obstacle to doing business in Senegal. The freedom to set up a company is legally provided for, but poorly functioning public institutions and corruption hamper the process. Bribery and facilitation payments are commonly practised in Senegal representing a high risk to businesses. Detailed descriptions of the level of corruption in a number of sectors of the Senegalese economy are outlined in the profile's Corruption Levels. For a more detailed analysis of the Senegalese government's anti-corruption activities, visit the Public Anti-Corruption Initiatives section. The Private Anti-Corruption Initiative section provides information on the country's media environment as well as the civil society's anti-corruption efforts. Publication date: March 2014 Data verified by GAN Integrity SolutionsSenegalese Judicial System Individual Corruption According to Freedom House 2013, the low wages and lack of tenure leaves judges vulnerable to external influences. The official and unofficial costs of taking cases to court can be prohibitive for even middle-class citizens. According to the Bertelsmann Foundation 2014, the malfunctioning judicial system and the complicated, long and expensive procedures within it often force poor Senegalese citizens to use traditional forms of settling civilian disputes. A very significant number of the surveyed households in Transparency International's Global Corruption Barometer 2013 perceive the Senegalese judiciary to be 'corrupt' or 'extremely corrupt'. Business Corruption According to the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014, the surveyed business executives perceive the legal framework in settling disputes and challenging regulations as being somewhat inefficient, and that the judicial system is subject to political influence from members of government, citizens and companies. Political Corruption Even though the independence of the judiciary is outlined in the Senegalese constitution, several sources, such as the Bertelsmann Foundation 2014 and the US Department of State 2013, state that the judiciary is subject to government influence and that corruption is a prevalent problem. According to a 2012 article by Voice of America, after President Sall was elected in March 2012, he vowed to hold the former president's government accountable for any past misconduct. The same source reports that in June 2012 two ministers under former President Wade and the country's current Senate Chief were called in for police questioning as a part of the new administration's investigation into bribery and in order to fulfil its pledge to tackle past corruption. Frequency The World Bank & IFC: Doing Business 2014: - Enforcing a commercial contract in Senegal takes 770 days, requires 43 procedures, and costs over 36.4% of the claim on average. World Economic Forum: The Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014: - Business executives give Senegal's judiciary's level of independence from influences of government, citizens and companies a score of 3.1 on a 7-point scale (1 being 'heavily influenced' and 7 'entirely independent'). - Business executives give the efficiency of the legal framework for private companies to settle disputes and to challenge the legality of government actions and/or regulations scores of 3.9 and 3.6 respectively on a 7-point scale (1 being 'extremely inefficient' and 7 'highly efficient'). Transparency International: Global Corruption Barometer 2013: - 73% of households surveyed consider the judiciary to be 'corrupt' or 'extremely corrupt'. - Citizens give the judiciary a score of 4 on a 5-point scale (1 being 'not at all corrupt' and 5 'extremely corrupt'). Senegalese Police Individual Corruption The US Department of State 2013 reports that there have been cases where the police have detained and pressured journalists who specifically reported on government scandals, waste or fraud to reveal their sources. The same report further notes that abuse of power, corruption and impunity remain a problem among police officials. The widespread corruption within the police force is evidenced in Transparency International's Global Corruption Barometer 2013, according to which the police are ranked as the most corrupt institution in Senegal by the surveyed households. Business Corruption According to the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014, business executives do not consider Senegal's police forces to be very effective in enforcing law and order Political Corruption According to several sources, such as Human Rights Report 2013 and Countries at the Crossroads 2011, corruption and immunity remain a serious problem in the police force in Senegal. Countries at the Crossroads 2011 states that any investigation into the police force needs a special authorization from its supervising ministry, the Ministry of the Interior. This procedure is said to have contributed largely to police immunity from, for instance, corruption allegations. Frequency World Economic Forum: The Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014: - Business executives give the reliability of Senegal's police services to enforce law and order a score of 4.5 on a 7-point scale (1 being 'cannot be relied upon at all' and 7 'can always be relied upon'). Transparency International: Global Corruption Barometer 2013: - 77% of households surveyed consider the police to be 'corrupt' or 'extremely corrupt'. - Citizens give the police a score of 4.1 on a 5-point scale (1 being 'not at all corrupt' and 5 'extremely corrupt'). Senegalese Public Services Individual Corruption According to the Global Corruption Barometer 2013, more than half of the surveyed households consider the medical and health care sector to be corrupt. Business Corruption Obtaining licenses and permits in Senegal is time-consuming, as reported by the Heritage Foundation 2013. This is also supported by the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014, which notes that business executives find that dealing with administrative requirements can be quite difficult. Political Corruption Since 1998 the Millicom subsidiary of Sentel has provided mobile telephony services under the brand name "Tigo" in Senegal. Sentel's 20-year operating license was issued prior to the 2002 enactment of Senegal's Telecommunications Act. In 2008, several high-ranking government officials, including presidential counsellor Thierno Ousmane Sy and the former President's son, Minister of Infrastructure Karim Wade, reportedly demanded USD 200 million from Millicom to let the company continue to operate in Senegal. Millicom agreed to negotiate license enhancements but refused to pay for a license it claimed to already own. In Autumn 2008, the Senegalese government revoked Millicom's operating license. In August 2012, Millicom and Senegal settled their dispute, ending the four-year legal battle. The government agreed to recognise the validity of Millicom's existing license and agreed to additional concessions and new services. Frequency The World Bank & IFC: Doing Business 2014: - In order to obtain a construction permit, a company must go through 14 procedures, taking 245 days at a cost of approximately 531.7% of income per capita. World Economic Forum: The Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014: - Business executives give government administrative requirements (permits, regulations, reporting) in Senegal a score of 3.7 on a 7-point scale (1 being 'extremely burdensome' and 7 'not burdensome at all'). Transparency International: Global Corruption Barometer 2013:- 57% of the surveyed households consider the medical service to be 'corrupt' or 'extremely corrupt'. - Citizens give the medical service a score of 3.5 on a 5-point scale (1 being 'not at all corrupt' and 5 'extremely corrupt'). Senegalese Land Administration Business Corruption Property rights are protected by law and are effectively protected in practice once ownership is established and registered, as reported by the US Department of State 2013. Nevertheless, registration processes can prove to be difficult, particularly outside Senegal's urban areas. The World Bank & IFC's Doing Business 2014 notes that registering property in Senegal is more than twice as expensive and time-consuming as the regional average. Frequency The World Bank & IFC: Doing Business 2014: - Registering property requires a company to go through an average of 6 administrative procedures, which take an average of 122 days to complete and costs 15.2% of the property value. World Economic Forum: The Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014: - Business executives give the protection of property rights in Senegal, including financial assets, a score of 4 on a 7-point scale (1 being 'very weak' and 7 'very strong'). Senegalese Tax Administration Individual Corruption In a 2012 report published by Inter-Governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa, tax evasion in Senegal is named as being widespread. The report identifies the mismanagement and the misuse of tax revenues as the main reason behind the low or non-payment of taxes. In fact, the report notes that the majority of the surveyed households attribute the prevalence of tax fraud among individuals to the corrupt behaviour of tax officials. Business Corruption According to the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014, business executives rank tax regulations and tax rates among the most problematic factors of doing business in Senegal. This is supported by the US Department of State 2013, which notes that tax regulations are lacking transparency. A 2012 report published by Inter-Governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa notes that the willingness of businesses to pay taxes in Senegal is negatively affected by the multiple taxations and a significant majority of the surveyed companies perceive tax evasion to be strongly linked to corruption among tax officials. Frequency The World Bank & IFC: Doing Business 2014: - Companies are required to make 59 tax payments and spend 644 hours on average at a total tax rate of 48.5% of profits annually to manage the burden of paying taxes.IGIABA: Inter-Governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa 2012:- 77.3% of the surveyed households identify the corrupt behaviour of tax officials as the main reason behind tax evasion in Senegal. - 77% of the surveyed business executives identify the corrupt behaviour of tax officials as the main reason behind tax evasion in Senegal. Senegalese Customs Administration Business Corruption The transparency of the border administration regarding irregular payments in exports and imports was rated as "low" among surveyed business executives in the World Economic Forum's Global Enabling Trade Report 2012, constituting a competitive disadvantage for the country. This is further supported in a 2012 report published by the African Development Bank. The report notes that the customs administration in Senegal is heavily burdened with corruption and bribery and that facilitation payments are widespread in the import and export of goods. It is reported that a truck transporting goods through, for instance, customs in Dakar, Senegal's capital, would necessitate the payment of bribes amounting to more than USD 430. Frequency The World Bank & IFC: Doing Business 2014: - A standard export shipment of goods requires 6 documents and takes 12 days at a cost of USD 1,225 per container. - A standard import shipment of goods requires 5 documents and takes 14 days at a cost of USD 1,740 per container. World Economic Forum: The Global Enabling Trade Report 2012:- Business executives give the pervasiveness of irregular payments in exports and imports (pervasiveness of undocumented extra payments or bribes connected with imports and exports) in Senegal a score of 3.5 on a 7-point scale (1 'common' and 7 'never occurs'). Senegalese Public Procurement Business Corruption Business executives surveyed by the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014 stated that it is common in Senegal for public funds to be diverted to individuals or companies due to corruption. In addition, business executives indicated that the decisions of government officials concerning contracts and policies frequently favour well-connected companies and individuals. Therefore, companies are recommended to use a specialised public procurement due diligence tool in order to mitigate the corruption risks associated with public procurement in Senegal. Political Corruption A February 2013 article by France 24 reports that allegations of corruption surfaced involving the hosting of the Islamic Conference Summit in 2008 in Senegal. The Agence Nationale de l'Organisation de la Conférence Islamique (ANOCI), headed by the former President's son, Karim Wad allegedly handed lucrative contracts to Gulf countries through non-transparent procedures. A 2012 report published by the Congressional Research Service notes that ANOCI was responsible for the corrupt awarding of large public infrastructure projects during preparations for the summit. The US Department of State 2013 reports that credible allegations of corruption have been made concerning the public procurement sector. Frequency World Economic Forum: The Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014: - Business executives give the diversion of public funds to companies, individuals, or groups due to corruption a score of 2.7 on a 7-point scale (1 being 'very common' and 7 'never occurs'). - Business executives give the favouritism of government officials towards well-connected companies and individuals when deciding upon policies and contracts a score of 2.9 on a 7-point scale (1 being 'always show favouritism' and 7 'never show favouritism'). Senegalese Natural Resources Political Corruption Transparency International reported in November 2013 that 20% of Senegal's exports come from mining and current legislation and oversight mechanisms are not sufficient to strengthen governance within the sector. However, Senegal's application to join the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) was approved in 2013 and it remains an EITI candidate country. Click here to read about EITI Senegal. Senegalese Public Anti-Corruption Initiatives Legislation: A comprehensive body of laws criminalising corruption is available in Senegal, both in the shape of international conventions, such as the African Union Convention on Preventing and Combating Corruption, the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) and the Senegalese Criminal Code (in French). According to the aforementioned laws, corruption, extortion, active and passive bribery, bribing of foreign officials, and money laundering are illegal and criminalised. Private-to-private corruption, for instance, is illegal and governed by provisions in the Penal Code. However, a problem resides in the weak enforcement of these laws. Government Accounting Office members and public accountants are obliged to disclose their assets, but many categories of public agents are exempt from asset disclosure and conflicts of interest are frequent. Freedom House 2011 reports that bribery and other types of facilitation payments are common in Senegal. The report mentions that former President Wade once gave the IMF representative to Senegal Alex Segura a USD 200,000 parting gift which was later reported to the IMF ethics bureau by Segura and returned to the Senegalese embassy in Spain. Access the Lexadin World Law Guide for a collection of legislation in Senegal. Government Strategies: The most recent anti-corruption measures were initiated by the current President, Macky Sall, who launched independent audits in order to investigate all members of the former Wade Regime, including Sall himself, despite the existing laws prohibiting a review of a sitting president. This step is aimed at promoting greater transparency within Senegal's government according to a June 2012 article by Economy Watch. Furthermore, the Sall Administration has established new agencies focused on the fight against corruption. The agencies include: the Ministry for the Promotion of Good Governance, the National Anticorruption Office, the National Commission on Restitution and Recovery of Ill-gotten Assets, and the Court of Repression of Economic and Financial Crime (see below), as reported by the US Department of State 2013. The Bertelsmann Foundation 2014 suggests that anti-corruption policies have been enforced under the Sall administration and many significant improvements have been observed. However, corruption and incompetence are still a problem in the civil service. Office Nationale de Lutte contre la Fraude et la Corruption (OFNAC): President Sall created the OFNAC to replace the Commission Nationale de Lutte Contre la non Transparence, la Corruption et la Concussion (CNLCC). According to a December 2012 article by Agence De Presse Sénégalaise, the OFNAC represents a more effective tool for fighting corruption than the CNLCC established under former President Wade. For instance, the CNLCC referred corruption cases to the president, while the OFNAC refers cases directly to the prosecutor and is not influenced by any member of government. Furthermore, the OFNAC is able to independently launch investigations, as reported by the US Department of State 2013. The agency also publishes annual reports. Ministre de la Promotion de la Bonne Gouvernance (The Ministry for the Promotion of Good Governance, in French): established by President Sall, is charged with overseeing all ministries' implementation and good governance, as reported by the US Department of State 2013. According to a February 2013 article by Foroyaa Newspaper, the Ministry has laid out strategies to enhance institutional and political governance, good governance within the judiciary, accountability and effective public administration as well as other areas. The Ministry has developed a citizen-control strategy which aims to encourage the participation and involvement of citizens in the governance process. Different departments and structures have also been created in order to implement the Ministry's strategies. The National Commission on Restitution and Recovery of Ill-gotten Assets: The agency was created with the aim of recovering stolen and hidden assets and the referral of the deposits to the state treasury, as reported by the US Department of State 2013. The Court of Repression of Economic and Financial Crime: The agency was reactivated by the Sall Administration and aims to fight economic crimes committed by officials, including money laundering, illegal foreign transfers and theft, as reported by the US Department of State 2013. Customs Service (DGD, in French): The DGD has implemented a system of rotation where an official cannot hold a position for more than three years in order to limit the possibilities of corruption. Furthermore, an action plan to combat fraud has been initiated and a private contractor, Cotecna S.A., has been hired to do pre-shipment inspections. Cellule Nationale de Traitement des Informations Financières du Sénégal (The National Centre for the Processing of Financial Information, CENTIF, in French): Its main role is to collect and process information about money laundering. The CENTIF is one of the most independent administrative authorities in the country. General Economics, Finances, Plan and Economic Cooperation Committee (GEFPECC): The GEFPECC is in charge of overseeing the national budget, financial activities, and other expenditures related to the public sector, such as state-owned companies. The GEFPECC receives reports quite irregularly and these reports supposedly suffer from several flaws. The GEFPECC is thus unable to perform its duties in a satisfactory manner and, because it is dominated by the ruling party, its political independence has been called into question. Supreme Audit Institution: The Inspection Générale d'État (IGE, in French) was established in 1964 as the highest organ of administrative control over public expenditure. Only the president can initiate investigations and the institution does not have the authority to publicise results of their monitoring. This is further emphasised by Freedom House 2011, which notes that the IGE has limited powers as it can only initiate investigation upon the orders of the president. The audit reports are intended to be exclusively for the relevant minister or the president. The IGE is reported to be understaffed and to lack the necessary resources with which to conduct effective monitoring. In the Open Budget Initiative's Open Budget Index 2012, Senegal scores very low, showing that the government provides the public with scant budgetary information, making it very difficult for citizens to hold the government accountable for its management of public money. Ombudsman: The Médiateur de la République (in French), Senegal's Ombudsman Office is legally protected from political interference, which also holds in practice. According to Freedom House 2011, the head of the Médiateur de la République serves a 6-year mandate and cannot be removed without significant justifications. The agency has a full-time staff and receives regular funding. The ombudsman publishes reports available to the public and the government is known to take into account many of the ombudsman's recommendations. Nevertheless, the agency has limited investigative powers as the cooperation of public investigative agencies is necessary in order to assert the effectiveness of the institution. E-Governance: Information on government agencies can be found at the website of the Senegalese government (in French). Agence Nationale Chargée de la Promotion d'Investissements des Grands Travaux (APIX) is Senegal's national investment promotion agency and serves as a one-stop shop for registration and obtaining approvals needed to operate a business in Senegal. Furthermore, information on regulatory business procedures can be found at the professional section of the Démarches Administratives homepage (in French). The Agence de L'information de l'état (ADIE) in Senegal is an e-government portal responsible for the national e-government strategy, the automation of public sector institutions and the development of an e-government architecture and interoperability framework. Nevertheless, the agency does not coordinate electronic public procurement, as reported by a 2013 report published by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. Yet, the agency's ability to promote interoperability has been hampered by the lack of coherent and consistent guidelines for information and communication technologies and e-government-related projects. The Senegalese government is also planning to establish electronic access to tax-related services through the Direction Générale des Impôts et Domaines (in French). Public Procurement: The new Procurement Code 2008 limits the possibility of awarding contracts without public and open bidding - legislation which also applies to governmental agencies. Furthermore, the government has started publishing on a quarterly basis a list of awarded contracts to enhance transparency of public expenditure. The Autorité de Régulation des Marchés Publics (ARMP, in French) is an independent regulatory authority responsible for the implementation of the new legislation on procurement. The ARMP handles bidders' complaints and carries out audits. According to the US Department of State 2012, changes made to the new code to exclude procurements by the presidency and ministries in charge of national security from the ARMP were criticised by donors and the private sector. The Commission Nationale des Contrats de l'Administration (CNCA) monitors public contracts so as to ensure transparent and competitive bidding. Contracts regarding construction or renovation of state buildings are not submitted to the CNCA. According to a 2013 report published by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, the government of Senegal has established various provisions for promoting the participation of local SMEs in public tenders. These include for instance, measures to break down large tenders, a requirement to publish tenders online and to inform rejected candidates. Nevertheless, the provisions also suffer shortcomings, such as: Complex legislation, prerequisites for bidding, partial online publication of public tenders and limited feedback on tender evaluation outcomes. Whistleblowing: The Senegalese Constitution has no national regulations on whistleblowing, but as Senegal has ratified the UNCAC (Art. 15), such restrictions are automatically part of its legal provisions. Moreover, Art. 98 of the Senegalese Constitution states that conventions legally ratified have immediate effect on national law. Thus both public and private sector employees who report on corruption are protected from negative consequences. Senegalese Private Anti-Corruption Initiatives Media: Although the Constitution and law provide for freedom of speech and of the press, the government limits those rights in practice, as reported by the US Department of State 2013. Independent media is often critical of the government and several independent radio stations and newspapers do exist. Self-censorship is sometimes practiced because of strict libel laws and national security provisions, which have been used against journalists reporting on corruption and abuse of power by politicians. The US Department of State 2012 notes that the police often pressure journalists reporting on government fraud and scandals to reveal their sources. For example, according to a February 2011 news article by Transparency International, Abdou Latif Coulibaly, an investigative reporter who won TI's annual Integrity Award in 2005 for his outspoken critique of financial scandals, embezzlement cases and irregularities in public contracting in Senegal was charged with criminal defamation in three cases as a result of his critical articles. Moreover, there have been reports of journalists being imprisoned in relation to investigations on corruption. In the run-up to the 2012-presidential election, several journalists covering the event were beaten and harassed by the police, as reported by Freedom House 2013. Freedom House 2013 reports that grants or the withholding of subsidies were commonly used by the Wade government to influence media outlets and it still remains to be seen whether or not this practise will continue under Sall's administration. Furthermore, the US Department of State 2013 reports that there was a lack of transparency in the allocation of radio frequencies, noting that the radio is the most important source of information and news for the Senegalese people. Access to the internet is unrestricted and no monitoring by the government has been reported. According to Freedom House 2013, the press in Senegal is considered to be "partly free" and ranks 109th out of 197 countries. Additionally, Senegal ranks 62nd out of 180 countries on the Reporters Without Borders' Worldwide Press Freedom Index 2014. Civil Society: The right to free association and assembly is guaranteed by law. The Bertelsmann Foundation 2014 evaluates civil society groups in Senegal as being active and strong and the groups that work with human rights and good governance as being the strongest in West Africa. Sall's government has also invited more civil society groups into their political dicussions. However, the report suggests that civil society groups are mainly limited to urban areas and they often suffer from lack of financial support. Freedom House 2013 reports that in the run-up to the 2012 presidential elections, the government attempted to curb the work of civil society. Aid Transparency (in French): Aid Transparency is a regional NGO based in Dakar. It works on improving governance in Africa and monitoring the spending of international development aid, together with improving democracy and public participation in state affairs. It operates programmes specifically focused on transparency and publishes studies on the subject. African Parliamentarians Network Against Corruption Senegal (APNAC): APNAC is a leading all-party parliamentary anti-corruption network in Africa. Its main work is to promote good governance and to strengthen parliamentary capacity to fight corruption. APNAC is active in capacity-building, information campaigns, promotion of anti-corruption legislation and establishing a legal framework to promote free elections. Forum Civil (in French): Forum Civil is the Senegalese national chapter of Transparency International, created in 1993 and working to promote transparency and good governance. Its work includes conducting surveys and research, awareness-raising and engaging civil society in the struggle against corruption. Representatives of Forum Civil have travelled the country to record how corruption is affecting individual lives and to amass signatories for its No Impunity petition. The petition stipulates that government officials have to declare their assets and calls on the newly established anti-corruption agency to tackle official corruption and particularly the politicisation of the judiciary. TrustAfrica: TrustAfrica is a foundation based in Dakar. It works on facilitating collaboration among African institutions and building long-term relationships with grantees to maintain accountable and transparent governance and sustainable results among NGOs. It focuses on providing collaborative grants and technical assistance in order to stimulate institutional collaboration across Africa and also supports research on the investment climate through the Investment Climate and Business Environment Research Fund (ICBE).

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is a bestselling young adult novel by Ann Brashares published in 2001. It follows the adventures of four best friends — Lena Kaligaris, Tibby Rollins, Bridget Vreeland, and Carmen Lowell, who will be spending their first summer apart when a magical pair of jeans comes into their lives, turning their summer upside down. The book was adapted into a film of the same name in 2005. Four sequels to the book have been published, The Second Summer of the Sisterhood; Girls in Pants: The Third Summer of the Sisterhood; Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood; and Sisterhood Everlasting.
Plot summary[edit]
In the first novel of the series the reader is introduced to four high school students: Lena Kaligaris, Tibby Rollins, Bridget Vreeland, and Carmen Lowell. They have been best friends since birth (their mothers attended prenatal exercise classes together). The summer before their junior year of high school, Carmen finds a pair of old jeans that fits each of them perfectly. Despite their different sizes, the pants fit perfectly on each girl. They believe that the pants are magical. They share the "traveling pants" among themselves over the summer while they are separated.
Lena spends the summer with her grandparents on Santorini. While she is there, she meets Kostos, the grandson of some of Lena's grandparents friends, and he becomes interested in Lena. Though she does reciprocate his feelings, she is shy and is unable to express them. Lena goes skinny-dipping and is accidentally seen by Kostos, and her grandparents assume she has been assaulted by him when she is unable to explain what happened. Later in the summer, Lena explains what happened in order to repair the rift between her and Kostos' grandparents, and confesses to Kostos that she loves him.
Tibby spends the summer working at a Wallman's, planning to make a documentary of her experiences there. She meets a 12-year-old girl named Bailey, with whom she is initially annoyed, but becomes close with by the end of summer as they work on Tibby's documentary. Bailey is hospitalized and dies at the end of the novel from leukemia, which results in Tibby refocusing her documentary to be about the summer they spent together.
Carmen goes to South Carolina to spend the summer with her father, from whom she has grown apart since he and Carmen's mother divorced several years before. Carmen is surprised to learn that her father is engaged and lives with a woman with two grown children of her own. After being frustrated at feeling left out of her father's new family, she breaks a window in their house by throwing a rock through it and returns home to her mother. She eventually reconciles with her father and attends his wedding at the urging of her friends.
Bridget attends a soccer camp in Baja California, Mexico. While there, she meets Eric Richman, one of the coaches, and immediately falls for him. Despite coach-camper relationships being off limits, Bridget actively pursues him anyway by running with him and going to his room at night, catching him in his underwear. She conspires to lose her virginity to him. Afterwards, she is emotionally devastated by her actions and she takes to her bed for days. Eric later visits her and asks her to take a walk with him, where he tells her that if they had met under different circumstances, he would worship her the way she deserved to be worshiped. Lena comes to comfort her and bring her the pants and ends up taking her home.
Ann Brashares got the idea for the novel while working as an editor when colleague Jodi Anderson, proposed the concept of a group of girlfriends who share a pair of jeans. This was based on some of Anderson's own college experiences. Brashares decided to write the book herself. Anderson was compensated with a small bonus and a promotion.[1] Brashares later said, "I loved the idea. A shirt can more easily fit different people, but jeans are more judgmental. It totally captured my fancy."[2]
The Importance of Friendship
As the girls face challenges and different personal issues this summer, they form a stronger bond by realizing how much they need each other to overcome these obstacles. Friendship is something they rely on to build a bigger understanding of themselves.
The Search for Love
Love is one thing that this novel revolves around. Love for oneself, another, and for family and friends. Each girl finds love in many different forms, and they learn that love is something magical and something that you cannot force or take advantage of.
The Importance of Family
Family is something that we are born into and we have to understand that as we grow, relationships change. Family is one thing that will always be, and the girls learn that sometimes "family" doesn't truly have to be blood related.
Coming of Age
This summer happens to be a wake-up call for each character. They learn that they are becoming responsible adults who have to make decisions for themselves. Coming of age does not only mean growing up and getting older, but it also means learning new things and trying to take more risks by becoming more independent. Becoming 16 is a big part of a woman's life, and the girls teach the reader that we all have our own obstacles and stories.
Critical reception[edit]
Sisterhood was well-reviewed at the time of its release. USA Today's Deidre Donahue said Sisterhood "has resonated far more deeply than any of the grown-up novels I've read this year."[3] Linda Bindner of the School Library Journal called it "a complex book about a solid group of friends, with each one a strong and courageous individual in her own right." Publisher's Weekly described it as "an outstanding and vivid book that will stay with readers for a long time."[4]
Sisterhood became a New York Times bestseller, was named an ALA Best Books for Young Adults, won a Book Sense Book of the Year, and was named a Publishers Weekly Flying Start.

2011 Texas Rangers American League Championship Pendant Presented to Derek Holland. Twice the Rangers worked the St. Louis Cardinals down to a single strike from the World Championship, but as Yogi Berra so eloquently stated, "It ain't over 'til it's over." And so the team that had proven itself to be the best in the American League for two consecutive seasons was forced to settle for the runner-up prize, such as that which we present here. It was a gift from the star pitcher Holland to his (now-ex) fiancee, and is consigned to this auction by her directly. The gorgeously crafted design features a logo "T" built of rubies on the face on a diamond-studded baseball, with "Texas Rangers" applied above semicircles of rubies and sapphires. Still more diamonds divide the words "American League" from "Champions" at top and bottom. Engraved on reverse is "2011 American League Champions, Holland." Lower edge is stamped "Jostens 10K." It dangles from a white gold chain and is displayed in its beautiful original glass and wood hinged display case. LOA from PSA/DNA.

Sue Baker was at the Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting in the Settle Gym Monday night to accept a plaque from the city of Shelbyville. It named her late husband, Don, as the Citizen of the Year.
Gov. Steve Beshear announced Wednesday that he will endorse Democrat Bill Young in his race to represent in the 58th district. in the state house.
In announcing his endorsement, Beshear stressed his belief that the middle-class working families of the Commonwealth are struggling with the current economic situation and that Young will make a great representative in helping address those issues.
The Old Stone Inn in Simpsonville was crowded to capacity Wednesday night with people who turned out to show their support for Sen. Mitch McConnell.
McConnell arrived on his bus as part of a campaign re-election tour around 8 p.m., received a warm welcome from at least 100 people, including numerous local officials as well as State Sen. Gary Tapp and Rep. Brad Montell, who also is running for re-election.
A grand opening will be held this Sunday for the Birch House in Clear Creek Park.
This two-story building is the former home of Dr. A.L. Birch and is now available use of the public.
Clay Cottongim, the park's director, said the newly renovated historic building is "perfect for wedding receptions, adult's birthday parties, Christmas gatherings and other holiday functions."
Who we are: Big O Tires and Service Center
Owned by: Greg Kimberlin
Where: 2231 Shelbyville Road
What we do: The facility offers full automobile maintenance and service and a wide selection of tires. Automobile service includes work on brakes, shocks, struts, alignments, tires, wheels and all maintenance needs.
"It's just a wonderful way to start the holiday season," Shelbyville Mayor Tom Hardesty said.
Event coordinator Sharon Nichols said it's estimated that more than 10,000 people came out last year for the Celebration of Lights in downtown Shelbyville, and the city is making room for an even larger celebration on Nov. 8.
There are already more than 60 tents signed up to offer food, crafts and other fun, with room for more.
A shooting that left one man dead last Saturday has thrown his family into a turmoil of grief and confusion.
David L. Fletcher, 28, of Shelbyville, was shot in what was thought to be an attempted burglary on Brown Avenue. He was accompanied by two men who were charged with burglary in that incident, Timothy Carpenter, 22, of La Grange, and Joshua Fast, 22, of Crestwood. Eric Reynolds, the resident who shot Fletcher, has not been charged in connection with the shooting.
This presidential election, Shelby County will be on the cutting edge, joining 33 other Kentucky counties in the latest in voting technology.
The purchase of 33 new voting machines—one for each precinct—will be installed and ready to go by election day. The new E-Scan machines are aptly named, said Susan Curry with the Shelby County Clerk's office.
"You just fill out the ballot, then feed it into the scanner, and you're done," she said.
"It's easy."
"Vote early and often" is the standard joke on Election Day, but if the turnout Nov. 4 proves to be as large as predicted, voters may find themselves lucky to get through the lines to vote once.
"We're psyching ourselves up for an 85 percent turnout," County Clerk Sue Carole Perry said. "So if it turns out to be just 75 percent, we will have a good day."
With he presidential election, hotly contested Senate and Congressional seats, local legislative, city council and school board meetings, a record turnout would not be a surprise.
Shelbyville Mayor Tom Hardesty announced Thursday the names of the four Shelbyville appointees to the Human Rights Commission board.
Terms for the newly rejuvenated commission start Jan. 1, 2009. After randomly drawing to set the staggered terms, the terms were:
1 yr. term - Gary Walls (Term expires Jan. 1, 2010)
2 yr. term - Elaine Farris (Term expires Jan. 1, 2011)

Well, here's the latest....The adjusters only estimated 8300$ worth of damages. Looking at the "parts list" I doubt they went in to too much details. According to the body/mechanical shop it's going to be more. They have not looked at the frame or anything like that I presume. It's all "cosmetic" and a few undercarriage parts that were "obvious" to see. I bet the bill climbs way higher once they start removing the busted pieces. The bad news...at least 7 days before it even sees the inside of the shop....and then....who knows how long it'll be for the truck to be repaired. It pisses me off how they put "refinish" the back bumper...It's never right when you resurface plastic and they ALWAYS try to get away with it....They are gonna have a fight on their hands if they think I'm gonna accept anything less than perfection.....
And....The other guy's insurances has yet to contact mine.....so that kinda leaves a bad taste in mouth mouth....I can se the writing on that wall
Oh well....not much I can do but wait and deal with the issues has they come up I guess

Jimmy Connors is out as Maria Sharapova's coach. If you blinked, you missed it. The partnership that started just over a month ago is over after only one actual match. Sharapova, who had been nursing injuries, played her first match since Wimbledon on Tuesday, losing to Sloane Stephens at the Western & Southern Open. Friday, Sharapova parted ways with Connors, telling TENNIS.com, "It's not the right fit for this time in my career." If Jimmy Connors' facial expressions from that one match are any indication, she's certainly right.

Best Place To Buy Inexpensive CFL Light Bulbs – IKEA.
If you have wanted to switch the lights in your house over to CFL bulbs but have been put off by cost of buying them, you might want to check your local IKEA. We were there yesterday and saw that they are selling a three pack of 11 watt bulbs for only $3.99. 11 watt bulbs are the equivalent of 60 watt incandescent bulbs, and they normally run between $5 -$8 each. Even at that price, they are worth the money because of the amount of energy they save and how long they last, but at $3.99 for 3 of them, this is a steal. Plus, when they do eventually wear out, IKEA will take them back and properly recycle them.
If you don't have a local IKEA, maybe a friend or family member is near one and can run over and get you some bulbs and ship them to you. Even with the extra cost, they are still cheaper than buying individual ones at other stores.Like this post? If so, please consider subscribing to my full feed RSS.

We did too Shadox, with their bulbs in the past, but the last batch we got was ok. Plus, they do have CFL's that look like regular bulbs too (round) that give off pretty decent light. Thanks for the tip!
We bought a number of these IKEA CFLs in the past and my experience is that they have a dismal light output and have a long delay before the turn on. I have had much more luck with other CFLs I bought at Home Depot. The cost seems very low though.
If you don't have an IKEA near you, you can get 6 packs of 60W equivalent bulbs at Home Depot or Lowes for under ten bucks – and the light output on the Depot/Lowes bulbs is great… Instant on and no noticeable warmup period.

Ryuartyi's Sketchbook
Hello CA, I'm Ryuartyi. I found this site a few days ago, and decided to do some extreme practice when it comes to my general studies of anatomy, shading and so forth.
Well, I may not have the most images to show, I currently try to do other things than just draw, so I won't have a whole lot to show every day.
Today I drew a self-portrait of myself from a mirror, and did two hand sketches.
Of course, if anyone has any way I can improve, (and there's LOTS of room for that) please comment on the pictures I post. Thank you for your time.

Welcome to CA, Ryuartyi!
Nice start to the hands; I always have problems with hands. The proportions on your face are off (the eyes are too high), but the more you draw, the more you'll improve. Keep posting....

Blaspheme against the Holy Spirit was the unforgivable one, but leading a child astray is the one sin that Jesus says, "It would be better that a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea...."

Blasphemy it is why only god knows. Or if you like I could make something clever up; It would seem it is not ever forgivable if done on the holy spirit.

DIC: Domain Name Registries to Promote DNSSEC
The DNSSEC Industry Coalition (DIC) was founded in the U.S. with the goal to drive further development and acceptance of the DNSSEC security protocol. The consortium includes a half dozen top Domain Name Registries and software developers that are currently laying out an action plan.
Despite regular crises in the Domain Name System (DNS) and weaknesses of relevant software, such as shown by recent DNS attacks, the DNSSEC protocol has had a slow adoption rate. According to a recent survey by the Measurement Factory, among the estimated 11.9 million existing nameservers only a minute proportion use DNSSEC. The coalition intends to address this issue.
Certain registries have found common ground. Among them are the ones for the top domains .org, .info, .edu, .com, .net, and for country specific ones like .se, .uk, .tv and .cc. Add to these software providers such as ISC and BIND, which is by far the greatest provider of nameserver software.
In their announcement, the members of the DNSSEC Industry Coalition promise to develop common tools and applications to make DNSSEC easier to adopt. They also intend to set an example.

VHBG to host kids' triathlon
An Olympic medal is only a dream for many kids, but local competition teams and events offer them the chance to excel in athletics and win championships.
To introduce local youngsters to triathlons, Virginia Home for Boys and Girls (VHBG) is partnering with Endorphin Fitness to provide a new youth triathlon event for ages 5 -14. The VHBG Youth Triathlon will take place in Henrico County on Saturday, Aug. 25, at the VHBG campus at 8716 West Broad Street in Richmond, from 6:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
"Triathlon recreational teams are an excellent way for kids to become fit and find out what sports they like if they are interested in pursuing an Olympic dream," said Michael Harlow, founder of Endorphin Fitness. "The power of fitness can change lives, and we're excited to offer this new event for the community and for all the kids at VHBG."
The event will benefit VHBG, a nonprofit organization focusing on child and family services. The agency provides residential group homes, an alternative school and intensive community-based services to support children and families in their home and school. Since 1846, more than 20,000 children have called VHBG home.
"Part of our mission here at VHBG is to help our kids build permanent healthy relationships in the community, and this event is just one more way we're empowering our youth to succeed," said Claiborne Mason, VHBG President. "Our pool and layout on campus is the perfect place for a triathlon," added Mason. "And, Michael and his team have a passion for sharing their love of endurance athletics with others. It's a great opportunity for our kids to try a new sport and engage in community events."
The event is open to beginners and Harlow is also offering an optional five-day camp, Aug. 20 - 24, to prepare youth for a triathlon where they will learn the basics of the competition.
For details or to register for the VHBG Youth Triathlon, visit http://www.vhbg.org or call Amanda Bazzi at 270-6566, ext. 145. The registration fee is $45-$55 and the training camp is $95-$115. Each participant will receive an event t-shirt, water and post-race food with their registration.

My little girl's head is now laying to the left of my belly w/ a butt sticking out at the right - yeah - she's breech - was head down. A lil freaked - I'm 32 weeks - I'm hoping and thinking at this point she can still turn - dunno though - not worried too much about it right now. Can anyone also tell how their lil one's are laying at this point? The only way I know there's a head on my left side is b/c of the bulge of course and she has the hiccups - within which I could feel them down below but not ne-more and her butt and sticking out the side on the right a big hard lump lol - haven't really felt kicks much at all throughout this pregnancy - I feel her hands moving mostly and a few rolling motions but that's all.
Actually. she's transverse (sideways); breech is head up. My baby was head down until about a week ago when we went breech too! My doctor's not too concerned yet, but my chiropractor is going to start trying a few things to help her turn next week if she's still transverse then.
"This is a public board created for people to mind other people's business."
At my appointment last week they told me that she flipped on me. Her head is up butt is down and feet are on the right side. I am 34 wks and 3 days now. I have to go for an u/s right before my next appointment which is next Thursday to see if she is still head up. If she is, then we have to discuss them trying to flip her back. They won't do that until 37 wks because it could throw me into labor and they don't want to risk that until I'm technically full term. So, I'm really hoping she flips back around because I've heard that them manipulating the belly to flip her is kinda painful.
Kerry mommy to Sweat Pea 7/04/07, Monkey 6/29/10
i cant tell at all how my little one is facing.
First timer DUE July 27,2010
like pp said she is tranverse. sounds slight though. i had that with ds1 and managed to birth him vaginally but it was kind of a struggle. currently i feel the baby most in my right rib so i am also worried about this happening again. my dr hasn't checked for position yet when do they do this? i remember my old ob checking aroun 36 weeks via us i believe. not sure tho.
Had an u/s at my last visit at 30 weeks and his head is on my left and butt on the right. I'm having a repeat c-section so my doctor wasn't too concerned.

Do you love reading adult, new adult & teeromances? Interested in reviewing/or discussing upcoming Entangled releases? Sign up here.
My baby is transverse also, but I too am a repeat c-section. So no real concern.
I would like to have a regular birth if at all possible - but one thing for sure is that I don't want to have her turned head down - mainly b/c it can distress for the baby and possibly end up in a emergency c-section which I don't won't - if I have to get a regular c-section - then fine - I know I will do everything naturally to see if she turns - I've heard that certain positions on your knees and in the pool can help - so I will try those - but I do not want her turned by the doc for sure!
Mine has been head down since 18 weeks and hasn't flipped at all. Hopefully he doesn't pull a fast one on us in the next few weeks, though I think it's getting pretty cramped in there now for him. My doc told me that babies want to be head down because it is more comfortable for them and they instinctively want to get 'in position'. He says once they are head down they rarely change position back to breech or transverse. I hope that is true! You still have some time though for your LO to flip back. Good luck! Oh and for what it's worth, my friend's little girl was transverse until the day she went into labor and then she flipped head down. They were thinking she'd need a c-section but ended up delivering vaginally just fine!
**Edited to add: Friend's baby did come a bit early which is why she was small enough to flip - once they are closer to full-term it is more difficult.

My doctor is not too worried either, i am almost 33 weeks and he is laying sideways too!! There is still plenty of time! :)
Proud mommy to James born 6/29/10 and TTC #2!
I am 31w5d and found out today our baby's head is to the left and butt to the right. I've been feeling really weird/crazy movement lately and I guess this explains it. It also explains the humps on belly. My OB didn't seem concerned although she commented, "baby can't come down the birth canal that way."

Originally written on Rays Index | Last updated 1/16/12
The Rays and JP Howell have agreed to a 1-year, $1.35 million contract, avoiding arbitration (per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times). Howell was projected to make $1.4 million through arbitration, so the Rays may have saved a couple of dollars by avoiding the arbitration process. The Rays still have four players that are eligible for arbitration, including David Price, BJ Upton, Jeff Niemann, and recently acquired reliever Burke Badenhop. If those players do not agree to a contract extension by tomorrow, the Rays will have their 2012 salaries determined by an arbitrator. If tomorrow's deadline passes, there is still the possibility that the players could avoid arbitration by signing a multi-year deal. However, the Rays will not grant anymore 1-year deals to the arb-eligible players, per team policy.

The relationship between work rate (W˙) and time to exhaustion (t) during intense exercise is commonly described by either a hyperbolic function (NLin), t=W ′/(W˙−W˙ cp), or by its linear equivalent (LinW) W lim =W ′+W˙ cp(t). The parameter W˙<INF </INF>cp (critical power) has been described as an inherent characteristic of the aerobic energy system, while W ′ has been shown to be a ralid estimate of anaerobic work capacity. Recent studies have demonstrated that oral supplementation of creatine monohydrate (CrH2O) increases total muscle creatine stores, and have linked these increases to improved performances in intense intermittent exercise. This study was conducted to determine the effect of CrH2O supplementation on estimates of W ′ and W˙<INF </INF>cp derived from the NLin and LinW equations, and to determine the effect of CrH2O on t in exhaustive constant power exercise of different intensities. Fifteen active but untrained university students completed three phases of testing on a cycle ergometer: (1) familiarization, three learning trials, (2) baseline determination of W ′ and W˙<INF </INF>cp, four bouts performed at a W˙ selected to elicit fatigue in 90–600 s, and (3) experimental determination of W ′ and W˙ cp, four bouts performed at the same W˙ as baseline, but performed after 5 days of ingesting either a placebo (4 × 6 g of glucose/day) or CrH2O (4 × 5 g of CrH2O and 1 g glucose/day). Testing was administered in a double-blind manner. Analyses of covariance revealed a significant effect for CrH2O on both estimates of W ′ (NLin, P=0.04; LinW, P<0.01), but not on estimates of W˙ cp (NLin, P=0.37; LinW; P=0.30). Within groups, t was significantly different for only CrH2O at the two highest W˙s (P=0.04). It is concluded that oral ingestion of CrH2O increases estimates of W ′ due to an improved t at the shorter, more intense exercise bouts.

In my SAX xml parsing callback (XCode 4, LLVM), I am doing a lot of calls to this type of code:
static const char* kFoo = "Bar";
void SaxCallBack(char* sax_string,.....)
if ( strcmp(sax_string, kFoo, strlen(kFoo) ) == 0)
Is it safe to assume that strlen(kFoo) is optimized by the compiler?
(The Apple sample code had pre-calculated strlen(kFoo), but I think this is error prone for large numbers of constant strings.)
Edit: Motivation for optimizing: parsing my SVG map on iPod touch 2G takes 5 seconds (!) using NSXMLParser. So, I want to switch to lib2xml, and optimize the string comparisons.

Medicine Now
- 1 November 2013 — 1 November 2018 *on now
This exhibition presents a range of ideas about science and medicine since Henry Wellcome's death in 1936. It reflects the experiences and interests of scientists, doctors and patients.
Within the huge field of medicine this exhibition attempts to focus on only a few topics: the body, genomes, obesity and living with medical science. Each is explored through a range of exhibits from science and everyday life, as well as artistic responses to the issues presented in red 'art cubes'.
Suitable for
- Family friendly
Medicine Man
- 1 November 2014 — 1 November 2018 *on now
Henry Wellcome was a man of many parts: entrepreneur, philanthropist, patron of science and pioneer of aerial photography. He also created one of the world's great museums: a vast stockpile of evidence about our universal interest in health and the body.
More than 150 years after his birth in 1853, this exhibition reunites a cross-section of extraordinary objects from his collection, ranging from diagnostic dolls to Japanese sex aids, and from Napoleon's toothbrush to George III's hair. It also provides a very different perspective on some of our own obsessions with medicine and health.
In 'Medicine Man' some objects are gathered by type and others by broad cross-cultural themes. Seven other objects are presented individually and are examined by a variety of commentators from different backgrounds, to show that one object can mean many different things and tell many different stories.
This exhibition is free. See opening hours. Some non-flash photography is permitted in this exhibition. See our photography policy.
Suitable for
- Not suitable for children
The Institute of Sexology
- 20 November 2014 — 20 September 2015 *on now
'The Institute of Sexology' tells the complex and often contradictory story of the study of sex through its pioneers.
Featuring over 200 objects spanning art, erotica, film and photography, 'The Institute of Sexology' is the first UK exhibition to bring together the pioneers of the study of sex including Magnus Hirschfeld, Sigmund Freud, Marie Stopes, Alfred Kinsey, Margaret Mead, William Masters and Virginia Johnson, and the team behind Natsal.
From Alfred Kinsey's complex questionnaires to the contemporary National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal), the exhibition investigates how the practice of sex research has shaped our ever-evolving attitudes towards sexual behaviour and identity. Moving between pathologies of perversion and contested ideas of normality, it shows how sex has been observed, analysed and questioned from the late 19th century to the present day.
This is the first of our longer exhibitions in our newly opened Gallery 2. 'The Institute of Sexology' will evolve over the course of the year, with new commissions, live interventions, discussions and performances within the gallery space. The exhibition is part of a wider Sexology Season of activity across the country including Brighton, Southampton, Manchester and Glasgow.
Please note that 'The Institute of Sexology' includes exhibits and live events of a sexual nature.

MEMORY MOVEMENT MEMORY OBJECTS: Alice Anderson at Wellcome Collection
- 23 July — 18 October 2015
In July 2015 Wellcome Collection will present a major exhibition of works by acclaimed artist, Alice Anderson: 'Memory Movement Memory Objects'. Anderson's sculptures are entirely mummified in copper thread, creating glistening landscapes of beautiful, uncanny and transformed objects. Each piece is an exploration and act of memory. Both the making and display of works interrogate how we create, recall, transform and seal the past and imagine the future. Over 100 works will be displayed and, uniquely, visitors will be invited to contribute to the creation of a new work during the run of the exhibition, as a car from the artist's life is mummified in the gallery.
The gallery will carry the mesmerising glint of displayed treasure, akin to entering a Pharaoh's tomb, but the objects on show are fashioned relics, or new archaeology. Strikingly lit, the sheen of copper is, for the artist, key to the absorbing physical and mental experience of entombing objects. The process of mummification is simultaneously a gesture of protection and an invocation of death, and Anderson's exquisite sculptures pose challenging questions about the comforts and consolations of creating and sharing memories. Offering an alternative way of remembering, the exhibition will animate the terrain where movement, objects and consciousness meet.
