Tennis Tourney Exec: Women Ride Men's Coattails, But They're Attractive: The finals of the BNP Paribas Open are today at Indian Wells. So what better time for Raymond Moore, the CEO of the tournament host, to say that the WTA women "ride on the coattails of the men. ... If I was a lady player, I'd go down every night on my knees and thank God that Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal were born, because they have carried this sport." He also said of the women's game, "They have a lot of very attractive players. ... They are physically attractive and competitively attractive."

Serena Williams and the Fear of a Dominant Black Woman: '.... its surprising that Williamss story of picking up a tennis racquet in Compton and ending up the greatest womens tennis player of all time hasnt been turned into a homily on Americana. If Serena were smaller, lighter, and less connected to her roots she would probably be more popular, says Kendall. But racism means that many Americans look at her refusal to be ashamed of coming from the inner city, her rejection of European beauty aesthetics, and her spectacular record and see a negro that doesnt know her place.'

New Tennis League Called 'Minor Miracle' by Wall Street Journal: A new league founded by former doubles champ Mahesh Bhupathi, International Premier Tennis League, began last month with events in the Philippines, Singapore and India. The final event of the first season finishes today in Dubai. Four teams featuring some of the sport's best-known men and women -- including past greats -- compete in a series of singles and doubles events as the Micromax Indian Aces, Musafir.com UAE Royals, Manila Mavericks and DBS Singapore Slammers. Some rules speed up the sport, including a serve clock, next-point-wins provision after deuce and a worth-double "power point" a team can attempt once per set. There also are player substitutions mid-match. Wall Street Journal sportswriter Tom Perrotta said the league "should be considered a minor miracle -- and an important part of the sports future. ... As of July, there were still rumors that the league would fail before it started. Instead, it has received a lot more attention and praise than anyone thought it would."

Drop Shot Picks Up at U.S. Open: The drop shot, once regarded as desperate on hardcourts, has come back into vogue, reports USA Today. Roger Federer, who thought of it as "sort of a panic shot" in the past, is now using it to throw off heavy hitters standing at the backline. "I just realized it was very hard to hit through the guys time and time again, because they track down everything," he said. "Maybe by using the drop shot a bit more they have to play closer to the line; then it's easier to hit through them again."
Serena Still Unapologetic About Outbursts: Asked by the New York Times about her on-court tantrums against a lineswoman and chair umpire at the U.S. Opens of 2009 and 2011, Serena Williams remains unapologetic. After being called for a foot fault, Williams told lineswoman Shino Tsurubuchi in 2009, "I swear to God I'll [bleeping] take this ball and shove it down your [bleeping] throat" and was immediately disqualified from the quarterfinal. Her take on the controversy today? "I don't foot-fault. Like, I have in the past, but this woman should never make a call in the semifinals of a Grand Slam on a person who doesn't foot-fault. She was totally wrong. I'm sorry. I'm not sorry. I looked at her like -- I tried to warn her. And then she did it again."

Asia Stocks, Copper Rise on Japan GDP, Europe Leadership Changes
Asian stocks rose the most in a week and copper climbed after Japan's economy grew for the first time in a year and the appointment of new governments in Greece and Italy damped concern Europe's debt crisis will worsen.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index climbed 1.3 percent as of 2:57 p.m. in Tokyo, after losing 2.4 percent last week. Standard & Poor's 500 Index futures increased 0.4 percent. The Nikkei 225 Stock Average gained 1.2 percent, poised for the biggest advance in a week. Copper rose as much as 3.9 percent. The euro was little changed at $1.3751. Treasuries retreated after the U.S. bond market was closed on Nov. 11 for a holiday.
"The situation in Greece has dramatically improved with the appointment of a unity government out there, and Italy looks like it's getting close to a resolution," said Angus Gluskie, who manages more than $350 million at White Funds Management in Sydney. "Two of the largest concerns of the market are being partially taken off the table."
Japan's gross domestic product grew an annualized 6 percent in the last quarter, the government said today. Italian President Giorgio Napolitano offered Mario Monti, former European Union competition commissioner, the prime minister post yesterday after Silvio Berlusconi resigned.
Economic data today is expected to show Europe's industrial output fell in September by the most since February 2009, while India's inflation eased, based on the median estimates in Bloomberg surveys. Finmeccanica SpA, Italy's biggest military contractor, and Lowe's Cos., the second-largest U.S. home-improvement retailer, are among companies reporting quarterly results.
U.S. Stocks
S&P 500 futures expiring in December rose to 1,267, signaling the U.S. equity benchmark may extend last week's advance. The U.S. index has risen 0.5 percent this year, the best performance among benchmark stock gauges in 24 developed markets.
About four stocks rose for every one that fell on the MSCI Asia Pacific Index. Japan's Nikkei 225 was poised for its first back-to-back advance in two weeks. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index gained 0.2 percent, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index climbed 2.1 percent and South Korea's Kospi Index jumped 2.2 percent.
Tosoh Corp. sank 4.4 percent after the chemical maker's plant in Yamaguchi prefecture, western Japan, caught fire. Hanwha Chemical Corp., a South Korean producer of caustic soda and chlorine, climbed 9.3 percent on speculation the company will win more orders as a result of the fire, according to Oh Jung Il, an analyst at Shinyoung Securities Co.
Hynix, Sensex
Hynix Semiconductor Inc., the world's second-largest computer-memory chipmaker, rallied 2.8 percent in Seoul. Major shareholders accepted SK Telecom Co.'s bid to buy 20 percent of the company, bringing them a step closer to unloading the stake after three failures in the past two years.
The BSE India Sensitive Index, or Sensex, gained 0.7 percent. Government data on wholesale prices may show inflation slowed to 9.65 percent in October, according to the median estimate of 18 analysts in a Bloomberg survey. That compares with 9.72 percent in September.
The euro rose for a third day against the dollar. Greece's finance minister said his priority is to ensure the country receives a sixth loan under an EU-led bailout after Prime Minister Lucas Papademos took charge as head of an interim government. Euro-region industrial production probably fell 2.3 percent in September from the previous month, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg.
"We've seen a more positive start to the week with the new technocrat governments in Italy and Greece, but there's still a lot of uncertainty," said Emma Lawson, a currency strategist at National Australia Bank Ltd. in Sydney.
Copper, Rubber
The Dollar Index, which tracks the U.S. currency against those of six trading partners, was little changed at 76.9, adding to a 1 percent slump on Nov. 11.
Copper prices in London rose for a second day, reaching as high as $7,933 a metric ton. The metal jumped by the daily maximum set by the Shanghai Futures Exchange with the January delivery contract rising as much as 6 percent. Stockpiles of copper monitored by the London Metal Exchange fell for a 17th session to the lowest level since Feb. 16.
Rubber advanced the most in seven weeks, rising as much as 6.4 percent to 275.4 yen a kilogram. Exporters in Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, which represent 70 percent of global supply, last week agreed to set a minimum price for natural rubber of $3 per kilogram after a sharp drop.
Crude oil for December delivery was little changed at $99.05 a barrel. Prices have risen for six weeks, the longest run of gains since April 2009.
Treasuries, Bond Risk
Treasuries declined, pushing 10-year note yields up seven basis points to 2.13 percent. The 2 percent security maturing in November 2021 fell 5/8, or $6.25 per $1,000 face amount, to 98 7/8.
The cost of protecting Asia-Pacific corporate and sovereign bonds from default fell, according to traders of credit-default swaps. The Markit iTraxx Australia index tumbled 11 basis points to 176 basis points as of 11:13 a.m. in Sydney, according to Deutsche Bank AG. That's on course for the biggest daily drop since Oct. 27 and the lowest close since Nov. 4, according to data provider CMA.

If you plan to realize value through a total exit by selling a business, we can help determine whether the company has been groomed effectively for a disposal, and help find a buyer. We can challenge the projections at an early stage to determine if they are robust, and undertake due diligence, which is a vital tool for achieving a successful sale. We can also help you determine whether a business in your portfolio can be broken up and sold piecemeal, where a whole business sale is not possible.
And, if a total exit is not a viable alternative, you can create value through other means. For instance, re-financing a portfolio company may help shareholders realize some of their investment. With our assistance, you can build credible plans to support a re-financing case made to lenders, who may view a partial exit in a skeptical light before they receive their capital return. By providing an independent report on the projections underpinning the re-financing, we can help you manage the banks' requirements as well. Our PE professionals can also identify cost savings by undertaking a diagnostic of your portfolio of companies to determine where they are spending money. Working with us on a carefully considered and well-implemented cost-saving program can help add top- and bottom-line value to your business. We are also aware that the tax aspects of realizing an investment's value should not be underestimated. Fund investors, PE house executives, and company management could be based in numerous jurisdictions around the world. KPMG's global reach means that you have access to our Tax professionals who have the experience to address your needs wherever you do business.

ATHENS: Greece had its credit rating raised by Standard & Poor's after a debt buyback as the ratings company cited the "strong determination" of euro area governments to keep the nation in the currency zone.
The grade was lifted from selective default to B- with a stable outlook, S&P said in a statement on Tuesday. It was cut to SD from CCC on December 5 amid the buyback. The new grade is the highest Greece has had at S&P since June 2011, when it was cut to CCC from B.

A Young Engineer's Experience at the WFEO YE/FL Conference in Kuwait City
Between February 10-12, 2013 I had the opportunity to attend the World Federation of Engineering Organizations, Young Engineers/Future Leaders (WFEO YE/FL) conference in Kuwait City, Kuwait. Although I represented the Engineers Without Borders-USA (EWB-USA) as a member of their Board of Directors, I also came to the conference as a curious engineering undergraduate student from Rice University in Houston, Texas, USA. Much of my exposure to engineering education
so far had been in a formal classroom setting or on-the-ground running projects with EWB-USA in Central America, and I knew that the conference represented a unique opportunity for me to augment my engineering education by exposing me to engineers from different cultures and with different ideas and accomplishments. I was excited beyond belief to spend a few days in Kuwait City in the days leading up to my journey, and the conference and the people who I had a chance to meet completely surpassed my expectations and left me inspired about the future of engineering.
Coming to the conference, I had two primary objectives to accomplish:
- Deliver a presentation titled "Grassroots international relations and economic development through the Engineers Without Borders-USA"
- Interact with as many of the conference delegates to set up collaboration on future projects and build a strong network of engineers around the world
My speech was to be delivered on the 3rd day of the conference, and I had a very short period of time in which to put together an effective speech that related to the themes of the conference. However, I drew upon my personal experiences as a project leader on a health clinic construction project in Nicaragua to explain my hypothesis that EWB-USA, by constructing infrastructure targeted at addressing the the most basic human needs, provides the foundation upon which communities in the developing world can make the jump from "developing" to "globalizing" communities. By eliminating the struggle for basic resources, EWB-USA projects help co
mmunities reach the economic threshold where entrepreneurship and innovation can flourish, a phenomenon I had seen through my own personal experience. One of the community members with whom I had worked in Nicaragua had been able to open a very profitable local grocery store after we had constructed the clinic for his community, because he was spending less time taking care of his sick children and was able to achieve a larger crop yield and greater profit. Another key hypothesis I explored during my speech was the idea that non-profit organizations like EWB-USA were pioneering a new mode of thinking called "Grassroots International Relations", and that much of social change although initially driven by national governments for most of human history were now being driven on a more individualized basis at the community and NGO level. I ended my speech by challenging the delegates from the other nations at the conference to apply the principles I had espoused in my speech in the organizations that they run, and in extending EWB-USA's support for Kuwait's start-up for their own national EWB organization.
Throughout the conference, I had the privilege of meeting with incredible engineering leaders from around the world to share ideas and knowledge about the future of engineering, and how young engineers like myself can be empowered to face this future. The most influential part of the conference was that by listening to the delegates' speeches, through off-the-cuff conversations, and by partaking in long late-night walks with conference delegates around Kuwait City, I learned about the work of other similar organizations around the world that promote engineering and about how I could position myself to think about the future of engineering. Interacting with delegates from EWB-Kuwait and EWB-UK gave me a feel for the broad range of methodo
logies surrounding EWB thinking in different countries around the world. Chatting with European delegates exposed me to the vast differences in pedagogy at the university level for engineering between continents. Listening to various women leaders speak about engineering in their countries exposed me to various initiatives being undertaken around the world to empower women in engineering. Most of all, exchanging jokes and laughs with the young engineers attending the conference established strong bonds between myself and the other conference-goers. Although several miles and cultural barriers may differentiate us, our shared interest and passion for engineering binds us together into one global community.
Although I had an insightful experience with the people who I had met during my 3 days at the conference, I felt empowered to come back to the United States to spread the knowledge that I had learned. The experience gave me fresh perspective on exactly why I was working hard in the classroom to gain an engineering education, and I knew that the international exposure I had enjoyed would only strengthen my development as a budding international engineering leader. While humbled by the opportunity, I also sincerely hope that other engineering students like me are given opportunities to attend WFEO and YE/FL conferences in the future so that they too can enjoy the opportunity to network with like-minded and inspirational individuals and leaders that I had enjoyed. Engineering education now more than ever requires a significant international component, and by attending conferences like that in Kuwait City, other engineering students can become emboldened and inspired about their potential.
My attendance at the WFEO YE/FL conference is a huge step in my engineering education and leadership development, and I look forward to partaking in more conferences in the future!

ENGITEERING: [en-jih-teer-ing]/noun: The modern engineer engaged in the act of restoring world balance.
Hello and Welcome to our newly launched YE/FL blog!
We hope that you will find this site to be helpful, whether you're looking for articles on professional development, pictures from our latest events, or to connect with other members via social media. You will find it all here!
For our first "official" post, I thought it would be apropos to write about volunteering. During our recent convention in Kuwait, all of the Kuwaiti Young Engineers took the stage for a brief moment to tell us why they volunteer. The answers were varying. Now I'll tell you my story. I hope this article makes you think about why YOU volunteer. Leave me a comment at the end of this post to tell me what makes you want to give back to your community.
WEC 2009, Kuwait
Volunteering is an investment in your community. The time you spend volunteering is essentially a down-payment for the future of the engineering industry and the world. It's you casting your vote for the kind of world you want to live in and a model for how we should treat others. It's for this reason that I coined the phrase and title of this post, "Engiteering," or engineer + volunteer = the modern engineer giving back.
Marian Wright Eldelman said, "Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time." From time to time, I get mired in my seeming inability to affect change. During these moments, I remember that a wise man once said, "Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing flawlessly." I believe that each and every one of us is called to give back. Regardless of your station in life, YOU have something to contribute to your community. You can be the small drop in the pond that starts the ripple effect and be the change you want to see in the world.
When you ask a kid, "what do you want to be when you grow up," an "engineer" is not among the popular list that includes policeman, teacher, or veterinarian. Engineering may be too ambiguous for most young children, but from the time I was three years I knew that it would be my life calling. In high school, I did a research project on bridges which ultimately led me to choose civil engineering as my discipline.
My first co-op was with a construction company and, after struggling through steel class, I knew that bridges would not hold my attention for the next 40 years. Fortunately, I landed a second co-op in water/wastewater treatment. I was encouraged to enter the American Water Works Association poster competition and decided to research slow sand water filtration, which became an obsession. I was astonished at the number of people –2 billion worldwide– who lack access to clean water and basic sanitation. I felt like I had won the lottery to be born into such a privileged life where these necessities are taken for granted. I was also excited that, by constructing a biosand sand filter costing a mere $20, water can be cleaned to 3-log removal! Such a simple and sustainable technology has the power to fundamentally change the lives of two billion people. I had found my niche in water/wastewater treatment. More important, I had found my passion in advocating for those deprived of the most basic of human rights.
From the time I was small, my parents instilled in me a strong sense of civil obligation. They always echoed the familiar adage of St. Luke, "To whom much is given, much shall be required." This was true both in the sense of tangible and intangible things. This lead me to look for opportunities that combined my professional skills as an engineer and personal responsibility to assert positive impact in global society. Worldwide, 90% of the world's engineers work for 10% of the world's population. To offset this gross imbalance, I wanted to be a champion for the developing world, infrastructure development, and capacity building.
As a student at Ohio Northern University, I was able to contribute to a professor's on-going work in the Artibonite Valley in Haiti which gave me an eye-opening experience to living conditions in other parts of the world. My senior capstone project included designing a springbox system in Les Forges to provide clean water to two nearby villages. After working in Haiti, I wanted to find another opportunity for engineering volunteerism post-graduation. I found the solution as a founding member of Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Central Ohio Professionals, in October 2007.
In August 2008, I spearheaded the adoption of the Cameroon project, which I now lead. Cameroon, which is located in West Central Africa, is called "Africa in miniature" for its geological and cultural diversity and is home to over 200 different linguistic groups. The project is located in the West province, about 250 km from the capital, Yaoundé. French and English are the official languages. Batoula, where the project is located, is one of 15 villages that make up the Fondom (Chiefdom) of Bafounda.
In February 2009, I spent one week in the village of Batoula assessing community needs. To say that that the trip was one of discovery is an understatement, in more ways than one. I have traveled to more than 40 countries, and the developing world is not divergent from my normal travels, but the primitive conditions in which the villagers live, and the hardships they deal with every day, are unimaginable. Children keep house, which for many of them is at the expense of going to school, while their parents work in the fields. They walked several miles to fetch 10 gallons of contaminated water. To see a 5-year-old carrying 75 pounds of water on his head was not uncommon, although there are several weeks each year when water sources run dry and even contaminated water is unavailable.
Lack of clean water has caused hundreds of deaths from malaria, cholera, dysentery, typhoid and other waterborne diseases long ago eliminated in the U.S. While treatment of the contaminated surface water sources was not feasible, preliminary water quality testing showed that the ground water was potable. Returning stateside, the team spent more than a year researching borehole well drilling, pumping, storage, and distribution alternatives and ultimately constructed two borehole wells with hand pumps at the school and health clinic during a return trip to Batoula in August 2010. Additionally, focus groups and individual family surveys were conducted at that time to ascertain the present level of health within the village and to establish a baseline for measuring improved quality of life as a result of the project.
On my most recent rip, I traveled in late December 2012. Arriving in Douala felt like putting on pajamas, familiar and comfortable, aside from the heat and humidity of course. Sometime in the last 4 years, Cameroon had become a summer home, of sorts, for my heart. While the village kids still shouted, "Les Blancs viennent!" ("The Whites are coming!"),our group was no longer an arresting curiosity, but an assemblage of friends. Instead of jaw-dropping stares at our pale skin, there was jubilation in recognizing familiar faces from the other side of the world.
The purpose of this trip was to install an electric pump powered by solar panels with elevated storage and distribution. The gravity flow system necessitated building a geosynthetic reinforced soil retaining (GRS) tower, on which a pair of 5,000L is elevated thereby providing adequate pressure to 3 tap stands. First, the soil was leveled and compacted before laying a layer of gravel for drainage. After the 2 meter tower was constructed, the tanks were rolled a half-mile to the site and sanitized before being hoisted atop the tower. In the absence of modern appurtenances, the engineer must rely on his creative problem-solving skills so some old-fashioned surveying was done using a tape measure, string, and a level to plot out the distribution lines and level the tower. Over 2 km was trenched by hand in 3 days with the assistance of more than 125 community members! We underestimated villagers' industriousness and desire to provide the sweat-equity that would supply precious, potable water a stone's throw from home! Pipe was then fitted, sanitized, and installed. Three tap stands were constructed at the market, Chefferie (King's residence), and the construction site. Both connections to the tanks and check values to the distribution lines were installed. Finally, a wood structure was constructed to elevate the solar panels such that maximum sunlight is received to power the system. In addition, the structure was outfitted with an access ladder and platform so that weekly maintenance (dusting) of the solar panels could be performed with ease. This process necessitated the removal of a few rather large trees in the area, but several small children with machetes were able to bring those down quickly and easily, while the EWB team looked on in wonder, pondering the myriad of safety violations being committed! In their zeal to help, the children in the village work just as hard, if not harder, than the adults and did much of the back-breaking labor throughout the construction process.
Of course, no EWB project is complete without a few bumps in the road. The drilling of the borehole well was sponsored by Diageo-Guinness Cameroon. During negotiations to procure the pump, the team discovered that the well was not developed properly by the driller, yielding only 25% of expected flow. Although the well depth is 64 m, flow from the two large aquifers at 25 and 45m were not incorporated. In addition, the aquifer step-test was only performed in 3, 1-hour intervals, instead of the usual minimum of 12 hours. While it was disappointing for the team to depart the country unable to see water flowing out of the taps, the biggest devastation was leaving the villagers in a quandary with only our promises to resolve the issue. Fortunately, Guinness has agreed to drill another well to meet our needs. My team has a 4-year working relationship with a driller from a nearby village. Acting as general contractor, they will install the pump and solar panels and then flush and disinfect the distribution system. The work is expected to be completed by June 2013. The team has planned a post-assessment trip for August 2013. The Association for the Development of Batoula (ADEBAT), the local NGO with whom EWB works, estimates that 72%-80% of the population of Batoula will now have access to clean water as a result of EWB projects!
It was also special to experience New Year's in Cameroon. Although it is iconified as "The Crossroads of the World," the villagers have never heard of some silly ball dropping in Times Square! Rather, New Year's Eve is a quiet affair. New Year's Day is spent preparing a feast for visiting family and friends. Evening is more raucous, when there is singing, dancing, and drinking. The team also attended a funeral during the trip. It was a live music celebration of life for the woman who had passed on. On our previous trip, the team had the opportunity to attend a wedding as well. Our attendance at both functions was considered a great honor to the families, and we were beholden to be included in such solemn events. In show of their appreciation for EWB's contributions to the Village, a traditional celebration with music, dancing, and singing was put on. During this ceremony, the team members were crowned honorary nobles of the village. I was crowned as "Mafo" or Queen of the village. The whole team really enjoyed this special festivity after 2 weeks of physical labor!
At five years in, the Cameroon Project has the makings of success, and I am even more passionate in my commitment to the village of Batoula. I haven't just completed a couple of infrastructure projects in a tiny village in Africa. I have gained a true cultural experience and have come to consider the people of Batoula part of my extended family. Despite living in abject poverty and oppression, joy exudes from everyone I has met, which humbles me on a daily basis. The villagers have few material possessions, yet they are rich in things money cannot buy – a strong sense of family and community and a genuine appreciation for living. It paints a new perspective on what is really important. The villagers in Cameroon see EWB as a symbol of hope to better their quality of life because they don't have the education, training or opportunity to do so. In my view, clean water is an essential life force and a basic human right. Breaking the cycle of poverty begins with the ability to survive and be healthy. From there, one can begin to improve one's life.
When I went off to college determined to change the world, I had no idea the world would change me. I am more appreciative of my blessings and more aware of the needs of others. In pursuit of restoring the balance, I serve fellow citizens of the world with a happy heart, taking from each experience much more than I am able to give. I am resolute in my goal to reach out to residents of other developing countries who are in desperate need of clean water, and I know other opportunities to help will come. I believe that an individual's ability to affect change is boundless, and as a humanitarian engineer, I am always seeking to inspire fellow engineers to the call of service. A single drop in a pond radiates out in many ways; similarly humanitarian work radiates out in ways that we will never know.
"Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world."

Communication No. 1850/2008**
Submitted by: S. L. (not represented by counsel)
Alleged victim: The author
State party: Czech Republic
Date of communication: 14 March 2006 (initial submission)
The Human Rights Committee, established under article 28 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,
Meeting on 26 October 2011, Adopts the following:
Decision on admissibility
1. The author of the communication, dated 14 March 2006, is S.L., a naturalized American citizen residing in the United States of America and born on 6 April 1927 in Hradec Kralove, Czechoslovakia. She claims to be a victim of a violation by the Czech Republic of article 26, of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.1 She is not represented by counsel.
The facts as submitted by the author
2.1 In August 1968, the author and her husband, P.L., left Czechoslovakia for the United States of America, where they were granted refugee status. On 23 June 1970, they were sentenced in abstentia to 7 months imprisonment and confiscation of their property by the Municipal Court of Prague for having unlawfully left the country. In 1970, the property was sold by the State to Mr. I.P., then Deputy Minister of International Trade. It was inherited by his daughter and then sold. In 1977, the author and her husband became U.S. citizens, thereby losing their Czechoslovakian citizenship.
2.2 In 1991, the author's husband contacted a lawyer but was told that, due to Law 87/1991, there was no legal means to obtain his property back as he had lost his Czech citizenship. He then wrote to the new owner of the property, asking for it to be returned as he was the legal owner, which was refused. P.L. died, and the son of the couple contacted another lawyer enquiring about restitution of their property. On 20 May 2003, he received a letter explaining that they had no options to get their property back as the restitution laws did not apply to Czechs who had lost their citizenship. The author and her husband never applied to have their Czech citizenship renewed as they thought this would not make a difference.
2.3 The author argues that no effective domestic remedies remained for her to exhaust because of the decision of June 1997 of the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic, in which the court refused to strike out the condition of citizenship in the restitution laws in a case similar to hers.
The complaint
3. The author claims that the Czech Republic violated her rights under article 26 of the Covenant in its application of Law No. 87/1991, which requires Czech citizenship for property restitution.
State party's observations on admissibility and merits
4.1 On 21 May 2009, the State party submitted its observations on the admissibility and merits. It clarifies the facts as submitted by the author.
4.2 The State party submits that the communication should be found inadmissible under article 5(2)(b) of the Optional Protocol as the author did not exhaust domestic remedies.
4.3 The State party also considers that the communication should be found inadmissible under article 3 of the Optional Protocol taking into account that the author only provides minimum information about the property confiscated in 1970, the surrender of which she claims almost forty years after the confiscation. Despite acknowledging the jurisprudence of the Committee according to which the Optional Protocol does not set forth any fixed time limits for submitting a communication and delay in submitting does not amount to an abuse, the State party considers the forty years delay as an abuse of the right of submission of a communication to the Committee.
4.4 The State party also considers that the situation must be analysed in light of another delay, starting from the date of the latest legally relevant fact in the absence of any decision of domestic courts in the author's case. In this case, the State party considers that the latest legally relevant fact is "the moment of expiry of the time limit granted by restitution laws for delivering the request to the liable person who owned the property in dispute," and it argues that the author presented her case to the Committee 11 years after the expiry of the normal time limits for the steps to be taken when using restitution laws, and that the author does not mention any fact justifying the delay in the submission of her communication to the Committee.
4.5 The State party adds that the referred house and land parcel became the property of the State in 1970, i.e. a long time before the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic ratified the Optional Protocol.
4.6 On the merits, the State party recalls the Committee's jurisprudence on article 26, which asserts that a differentiation based on reasonable and objective criteria does not amount to prohibited discrimination within the meaning of article 26 of the Covenant.2 The State party argues that the author failed to comply with the legal citizenship requirement and her application for property restitution was therefore not supported by the legislation in force.
Author's comments on the State party's observations
5.1 On 21 March 2011, the author submitted her comments regarding the State party's observations on the admissibility and merits. With regard to the author's belated submission of her communication, she argues that the time limits imposed on filing a claim before the national authorities were unreasonable and that the delays were also the result of the time required in order to gather the necessary information and to get the case ready, managing the process from abroad. The author also refers to family circumstances at the time when the procedure was started.
5.2 The author also recalls the steps taken with lawyers on two occasions by her family, with the purpose of initiating legal actions before the domestic courts and thereby exhausting domestic remedies. On both occasions, the author, her husband and her son were advised not to pursue their case under Czech law, as it did not give them any likelihood of success.
5.3 With regard to the merits, the author submits that she claims a violation of her rights under the Covenant since she was not able to claim restitution of her family's property due to the citizenship requirement.
Issues and proceedings before the Committee Consideration of admissibility
6.1 Before considering any claim contained in a communication, the Human Rights Committee must, in accordance with rule 93 of its rules of procedure, decide whether or not the communication is admissible under the Optional Protocol to the Covenant.
6.2 As required by article 5, paragraph 2 (a), of the Optional Protocol, the Committee has ascertained that the same matter is not being examined under another procedure of international investigation or settlement.
6.3 The Committee notes the State party's arguments that the author has not exhausted domestic remedies and that the communication should be considered inadmissible as an abuse of the right of submission of a communication under article 3 of the Optional Protocol, in view of the delay in submitting the communication to the Committee. The author argues that no effective domestic remedies were available, and that the 11-year delay referred to by the State party was caused by the time taken by the lawyers contacted by the family before telling them not to initiate any proceedings; the lack of available information; and the delays involved in accessing and providing information and documentation from abroad.
6.4 The Committee refers to its established jurisprudence that, for purposes of the Optional Protocol, the author of a communication need not exhaust domestic remedies when these remedies are known to be ineffective. The Committee notes that the author's family was advised in 1991 and again in 2003 that, as a result of the preconditions of Law No. 87/1991, the author could not claim restitution because she and her husband no longer had Czech citizenship. In this context, the Committee notes that other claimants have unsuccessfully challenged the constitutionality of the law in question; that earlier views of the Committee in similar cases remain unimplemented; and that despite those challenges, in June 1997, the Constitutional Court upheld the constitutionality of the Restitution Law No. 87/1991.3 The Committee concludes that no effective remedies were available to the author.4
6.5 The Committee observes that the Optional Protocol does not establish time limits within which a communication should be submitted. The Committee observes that according to its new rule of procedure 96 (c), applicable to communications received by the Committee after 1 January 2012, the Committee shall ascertain that the communication does not constitute an abuse of the right of submission. An abuse of the right of submission is not, in principle, a basis of a decision of inadmissibility ratione temporis on grounds of delay in submission. However, a communication may constitute an abuse of the right of submission when it is submitted 5 years from the exhaustion of domestic remedies by the author of the communication, or, where applicable, after 3 years from the conclusion of another procedure of international investigation or settlement, unless there are reasons justifying the delay, taking into account all the circumstances of the communication. In the meantime, the Committee applies its jurisprudence which allows for finding an abuse where an exceptionally long period of time has5 elapsed before the presentation of the communication, without sufficient justification.
6.6 The period of delay before the author's submission of the present communication cannot be calculated from the date of exhaustion of domestic remedies, because the author never availed herself of the domestic remedies considered as ineffective. It is to be noted that the author does not suggest that she and her husband were deterred from proceeding in the domestic courts for fear of retaliation or similar considerations. The author submitted this communication in March 2006. That submission occurred some 15 years after the author and her husband were advised that no effective domestic remedy existed, nearly 11 years after the Committee adopted its Views in the Simunek case6, and nearly 9 years after the decision of the Constitutional Court of the State party that established the absence of a domestic remedy. The author identifies as causes of the delay her difficult family circumstances and the logistical problems of conducting legal proceedings from abroad. In comparable situations of delay after the exhaustion of domestic remedies, the Committee has found an abuse of the right of submission.7 The Committee concludes in the present circumstances that the delay has been so unreasonable and excessive as to amount to an abuse of the right of submission, which renders the communication inadmissible under article 3 of the Optional Protocol.
7. The Human Rights Committee therefore decides:
(a) That the communication is inadmissible under article 3 of the Optional Protocol;
(b) That this decision shall be communicated to the State party and to the author.

Stephen Breyer's Collectivist View Of Free Speech
A couple of days ago the US Supreme Court struck a blow for free speech by reversing the decision of the odious and addled 9th Circuit. The court ruled that there was no compelling reason that authorized the Congress to limit the number of candidates to which a donor could contribute. Less noticed was the direct assault on the First Amendment by the four justices | Read More »

Chris Colfer
Chris Colfer Not Fired From Glee, Actor's Twitter Account Was Hacked (VIDEO)
UPDATE (1:50 P.M. ET): In a crazy twist that not even Ryan Murphy himself could have created, we are now getting word that Chris will not be leaving Glee after all. The actor's manager tells The Hollywood Reporter Chris' verified Twitter account was hacked, meaning he did not send the tweet that broke our heart into a million pieces.
So what exactly does this mean?
According to Chris' manager, his client will be back for the sixth and final season of the FOX show, and he has already signed his contract to return. Interestingly enough, the tweet that shall not be named is still up on Chris' page, but Chris' publicist insists the actor is currently on a mid-Atlantic flight without wi-fi access, rendering him unable to delete the tweet.
FOX has also released a statement confirming that Chris isn't going anywhere. "We've been alerted that Chris Colfer's Twitter account has been hacked," a statement from the studio said. "Rumors of his dismissal from Glee could not be further from the truth. We love Chris and look forward to working with him again this season."
Original Story:
Are you sitting down, gleeks? Because, boy, do we have some sad pre-July 4th news for you.
Today, July 3, Chris Colfer (Kurt) announced that he was fired from the FOX dramedy after five years on the show. In a tweet to his followers that is bound to break the hearts of gleeks everywhere, Chris wrote, "Due to personal issues, I have been let go from the cast of GLEE. Explanations will come shortly…"
The 24-year-old actor didn't offer any additional info on why he won't be returning for the show's sixth and final season, which is set to start production sometime later this year, but like he said, we're readying ourselves for the barrage of explanations that will soon be on their way.
We know he's a burgeoning author, having published two (soon to be three) books in his The Land of Stories series, but we're sure that second job couldn't have cost Chris his Glee gig.
We'll keep you updated on Chris' situation, as we're sure he'll be discussing his sudden departure from Glee during his upcoming appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on July 8, if not before then.
Are you shocked that Chris was let go from the show, or did you see this bombshell coming? Try to hold back your tears and tell us your thoughts below.

The leaves are gone, shadows grow longer, snow threatens. But before you retire with kerchief or cap, it's a good idea to tuck in your hand tools for a long winter's nap. You could merely bid them adieu before bed, but a few simple steps beforehand—cleaning dirt or rust off a spade, oiling lopper joints—help keep hand tools in good working order. You can also sharpen your tools now, which means they will be ready when spring comes a-calling.
Thrusting shovels and secateurs in a bucket of sand and motor oil is sufficient to clean and lubricate them throughout the season, but the end-of-season session requires a couple of hours of concentrated work and a few specialized items.
To clean and preserve, you need the following items. All materials are readily available at hardware stores.
- Paint thinner (also called mineral spirits)
- A few rags
- Fine steel wool (000)
- A stiff wire brush
- Three-in-One oil
- Motor oil
- 120-grit sandpaper
- Boiled linseed oil—you buy it boiled. Repeat after me: boiled, boiled, boiled. (If you make the mistake of using raw linseed oil, you have to wait about nine months for the goop to dry.)
- Latex gloves are a good idea, because paint thinner can damage skin.
- To sharpen metal edges, you'll also need a sharpening stone, a flat file and a round file.
Cleaning secateurs, shears and loppers
Step 1: Start with your secateurs, shears and loppers. They require attention to detail, so do them while you're fresh and motivated. "The first step," says Ritch Ford, of Professional Landscape Services in Milton, Ontario, "is to disassemble the tool. This may sound complicated, but usually you only need to remove one screw."
Step 2: Once you have the tool apart, use steel wool and a cloth rag saturated with paint thinner to clean it, removing all traces of sap and plant debris. Use steel wool to buff away any rust.
Step 3: When blades are clean, use a sharpening stone to remove small nicks and restore a keen edge to them. Most sharpening stones have a coarse side and a fine side. You may have to wet the stone with oil or water first, depending on what type you have—check instructions. After wetting the coarse side, which you use first, set the stone on a flat surface, and run the length of the bevel—the part of the blade that angles toward the cutting edge—across the stone, away from you. Pretend you're trying to shave a thin peel off the stone.
For best results, sweep the entire blade across the stone in one smooth motion. Eight or nine complete passes across the coarse side should leave the bevel nicely sharpened. Add water or oil to the fine side, and finish the blade with five or six sweeps across it.

A couple of weeks ago I went to the doctor because I had gout. Which happened to hit me right as I was getting over the flu.
For those who haven't had it, all I can say is hope you don't... It is a form of preventable arthritis that is caused by crystalization of uric acid in the joints, and typically hits middle aged males, in one of their big toes.
Mine was a relatively mild case, but I will be watching my diet (reducing proteins, increasing fluids and a few other precautions). Some of the main foods to avoid are my favorites, scallops and shrimp.
But there is good news. While I was there I got a mini-physical, and my blood pressure is good, 110/74 (it has typically been pretty good anyway, but this is even lower than usual) and everything else (other than weight) looks good.
I have a lady friend who always minimizes cycling as exercise, and today the Doctor said I should spend more time cycling... So, the great news is that I can now say that an increase in cycling is due to doctor's orders!

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that can lead to many health problems.
Women who suffer from PCOS will often experience estrogen increase, irregular menstrual cycles, and an elevated testosterone level. All of these problems lead to other health concerns such as insulin resistance, weight gain, organ damage, and excessive hair growth. Some of these symptoms are embarrassing and some of they can be quite dangerous and life threatening. Vitex and herbal remedies for PCOS is the best treatment for the symptoms because the body reacts positively to natural products.
One of the most prevalent signs of PCOS is the absence of regular menstrual cycles. Many women may actually like this symptom but it can have dire consequences. Women who do not have regular menstrual cycles are at risk for uterine cancer. For those who are trying to conceive, the absence of regular cycles can make it difficult. If they contract uterine cancer the only known cure is a hysterectomy and that will definitely put an end to childbirth.
Smart women will turn to Vitex and herbal remedies for PCOS. Vitex is also known as chaste berry. It helps balance hormone levels and it promotes a regular monthly cycle. Women who suffer from PCOS cannot produce enough progesterone naturally. Progesterone is essential for normal cycles and when the body does not produce enough is when the monthly cycle becomes compromised. Vitex is an herb that helps the body produce enough progesterone for normal monthly function.
Other herbal remedies for PCOS include spearmint tea. As little as two cups a day can help reduce PCOS symptoms. Studies have shown that women who drank two cups of peppermint tea for five days say a reduction in body hair growth and an increase in natural hormones.
Natural remedies for PCOS might include progesterone cream. Women who use the cream for the last two weeks of the cycle tend to have a more normal menstrual cycle. The cream has also been known to help produce ovulation, something that is essential to conceiving.
Vitex and herbal remedies for PCOS is the most natural way to treat the symptoms of the disease. Saw palmetto is a great drug that shows promising results in the treatment of high testosterone levels. It is a great herbal supplement that has been proven to help treat enlarged prostate in men by helping regulate testosterone levels. Studies have shown that it does the same for women as it does for men. Women who use saw palmetto and suffer from acne will also see clearer skin and a reduction in acne breakouts.
Women who lose weight have a better chance at maintaining healthy insulin levels. Vitex can help maintain a healthy weight with just a few simple lifestyle changes. Eating a healthy diet that includes fresh fruits and vegetables and avoiding fatty foods you stand a better change at maintaining healthy insulin levels and you will enjoy a healthier weight. Reducing the fat in your diet is essential to avoiding PCOS symptoms.
Vitex and herbal remedies for PCOS is the best way to keep those PCOS symptoms under control. When your symptoms are under control you can enjoy a normal life.
