In Reply Acute appendicitis presents as a spectrum varying in severity from uncomplicated (acute suppurative) to moderately severe (acute gangrenous) to severe (perforated with abscess). The traditional treatment was open appendectomy for all forms of appendicitis and has evolved to same-day laparoscopic surgery in most instances. With the frequent use of ultrasonography and computed tomography in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and advances in interventional radiology, the treatment of perforated appendicitis with peri-appendiceal abscess evolved to percutaneous drainage and interval appendectomy.

1)This was possibly taken from the bridge looking West at the South shore. On the left side of the photo is the "Lake Breeze Resort" on the right side of the photo is the "Plaza Beach" resort.
2)A photo of the "Rec Room" at Plaza Beach Resort.
3)Plaza beach is now "Miramar" condos, as seen in the other photo.
We used to stay at a resort called Pikey's Beach back in the 60's. Does anyone have any idea what it is called now or if it is even still there? Trying to find information for my Father. We could see the old bridge from the resort. Thanks
I lived at the Patio Drive In and Gift Shop during the late 60's and very early 70's.
It was built by Sam Pikey and was at the very beginning of the bridge coming from Camdenton.
I would run the length of the bottom of the bridge on that walk way every day after school.
I have many wonderful memories of the Lake there and I am grateful for these pictures.
Here is the proper link to the Video of the Niangua Bridge North section demo.
On the Southside of the Lake and West of the bridge is the Lake Breeze Resort / Cabins. I was there in 2003 when the North end of the old bridge was demolished. Further to the west was the Plaza Beach Resort / Cabins. I believe Plaza Beach was demolished around 2004. A high rise condo project was started on the site. I am told that as of 2009 the condo project failed and the buildings are vacant and derelict. I will try to post some photos of the resorts from the 1960’s. The photo with the campfire is from the 1970’s at Plaza Beach Resort looking East towards Lake Breeze Resort. The bridge is visible in the 1960’s pictures of the woman waterskiing and the child on the “surfboard”. I filmed the North end of the bridge being demolished in July 2003. It is posted on Youtube here :
Thank you for this cool website.
I have a picture of my parents fishing near the old niangua bridge and staying at a resort nearby in about Oct, 1946 when my Dad returned from WWII. I was born 9 months later, July 6, 1947. Does anyone have an idea of the name of the resort/cottages? It looks like it is near the base of the bridge. Thanks!
Such a sad bridge to see go. My grandparents built a house on the southeast side of this bridge in 1977. It was a wonderful, hexagon shaped house with a 3-well dock you could see from the bridge as you passed over.
We spent many, many weekends at the lake with my grandparents. The State of Missouri decided to build the new bridge on the east side of the old bridge, therefore the state had to buy the house from them to tear it down. I don't know if it has actually been torn down yet, as I heard they were going to rent it out or something instead.
As a child, we used to walk the length of the bridge underneath it on the maintenance walkway. Not the smartest thing to do, but we did it nonetheless. Just seeing pictures of the old bridge brings back so many fond memories.
If anyone has any great pictures of this bridge of pictures of that hexagon shaped house, please send them to me! Thank you.

Expansion costs at the three time Oscar-nominated Cartoon Saloon animation studios last year contributed to profits declining by 39% to €326,442.
According to new accounts filed by the Kilkenny-based firm, the business recorded the drop in profits as revenues increased by 11% from €5.49m to €6m last year.
The company’s profits of €326,442 follow profits of €537,804 in 2017.
Numbers employed at the company increased by 50% from 75 to 113 as the business rode the crest of a wave last year after sealing deals with giants, Netflix and Apple for new work.
Last year, Netflix commissioned the animation studios to produce a new feature entitled 'My Father’s Dragon'.
The director of My Father’s Dragon is Nora Twomey who last year received an Oscar nomination for 'The Breadwinner', which was made in partnership with Angelina Jolie.
The Netflix deal followed Cartoon Saloon announcing that Apple purchased a new animated film it was making called Wolfwalkers.
Cartoon Saloon Ltd has also produced 'Pete the Cat' series for Amazon.
Also, the company’s Emmy nominated preschool series, Puffin Rock, is currently being broadcast worldwide on Netflix in over 25 languages and on Tencent streaming service where it is close to 100 million views in China alone.
Accumulated profits last year increased from €1.464m to €1.79m. The company’s cash pile reduced from €782,512 to €153,652.
The company’s profits last year take account of non-cash depreciation costs of €87,828 and a loss of €182,824 on the disposal of fixed assets.

A student at West Albany High School and his family tipped off police to a suspected bomb plot by Grant Acord, leading to the arrest of the 17-year-old junior on Thursday, the principal said.
Susie Orsborn, principal of West Albany High, thanked the student and his family
"Thanks to the heroic actions of a student and their family, we were all saved from a potential tragedy ... I cannot thank the individual and their family enough for doing the right thing and contacting the Albany Police Department," Orsborn wrote.
She said police did everything possible to ensure the safety of the students and staff at the school. Acord was arrested Thursday at the home of his mother, Marianne Fox. Police discovered numerous explosives hidden in a floor compartment in his bedroom.
Orsborn called on the school to rally together. "We need to finish the year strong," she wrote.
Acord is being arraigned today in Benton County Circuit Court on allegations of one count of aggravated attempted murder, six counts each of manufacturing a destructive device and other charges.

A convict in a Connecticut prison has been found guilty of attempting to hire an undercover federal agent to kill his ex-wife.
Clinton resident James Godisken was found guilty by a jury of murder for hire following a nearly two-week trial. At the trial, it was determined that while he was incarcerated at the New Haven Correctional Center Godisken reached out to other inmates to track down a person who would be willing to kill his former wife.
John Durham, the United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, said that between Sept. 10 and Sept. 14 in 2016, Godisken and an ATF special agent who was undercover, spoke over the phone several times. During those conversations, Godisken offered to pay the agent $5,000 to murder his ex-wife and was able to provide him with a description of her, including a phone number and home address. Godisken also offered up his former wife’s employer and the route she took to drive to work.
Godisken, 56, also told the undercover agent how he wanted his former wife murdered. Additional money was offered to the agent if he also killed his ex-wife’s current boyfriend.
The undercover agent arrested Godisken on Sept. 14, 2016, after he met with him and provided him an $80 “down payment,” some of which was to be used to purchase a knife.
Durham said that Godisken has been detained since his arrest. He is due in court for sentencing at a later date, where he will face up to 10 years in prison.

Ari Sterling def. Sunil Singh
Sterling defeated Samir Singh in his 205 Live debut a month ago and this was another chance for him to showcase his skills. It wasn't the most thrilling affair, but it was enjoyable while it lasted and Singh played his role well. As I've said several times, Sterling is a terrific talent and continues to impress. The Bollywood Boyz have never been for me, but they've been serviceable in these singles matches.
August Grey def. Ariya Daivari
Grey and Daivari were feuding consistently on this show for a few months earlier this year, but then it was dropped out of nowhere and there was never a third match between the two. I'm glad we got it here, but there was zero buildup and it doesn't help that Daivari has done nothing but lose lately, so Grey beating him here didn't mean a whole lot. Nonetheless, it was a quality contest and likely their best bout against each other. It'd be nice for Grey to get a shot at the NXT Cruiserweight Championship soon, but seeing is believing.
It's clear 205 Live is in a world all of its own at the moment with the Cruiserweight title being exclusive to NXT. I mean, when was the last time the champion was even on the show? Kushida had an open challenge this past week that was answered by Carmelo Hayes, someone who has never made a single appearance on 205 Live. I don't want to say they should get rid of 205 Live, however, because it's featured some strong wrestling in recent months. This episode was no exception as both bouts were well-wrestled.

In February, Canada's human rights record was assessed under the UN Universal Periodic Review. The recommendation that Canada develop a national poverty elimination strategy was rejected by the federal government which asserted that this was a provincial or territorial responsibility.
The authorities failed to ensure respect for Indigenous rights when issuing licences for mining, logging and petroleum and other resource extraction. The government continued to make baseless claims that the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples does not apply in Canada. In September, a hearing opened before the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal into underfunding of First Nation child and family services, compared with other communities.
The high level of violence experienced by Indigenous women and girls persisted. The Native Women's Association of Canada continued to call for a comprehensive national action plan to address the violence and the underlying discrimination that contributes to it. Despite a stated commitment to stopping the violence, the Canadian government took no steps towards establishing such a plan.
In March, the Federal Court dismissed a challenge to the practice of transferring battlefield detainees in Afghanistan into Afghan custody where they were at serious risk of torture. This decision was upheld by the Federal Court of Appeal in December.
In February, the Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear an appeal regarding the Safe Third Country refugee agreement between Canada and the USA which denies asylum-seekers who pass through the USA access to the Canadian refugee determination system.
At least one person died after being stunned by police Tasers during the year, bringing the number of such deaths since 2003 to at least 26.
In February, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) revised its policy on Taser deployment, limiting Taser use to situations where there is a "threat to public or officer safety".
A public inquiry into the death in 2007 of Robert Dziekanski after he was stunned by a Taser continued in British Columbia. The provincial government accepted all the recommendations in the inquiry's July interim report, including raising the threshold for police use of Tasers from the standard of "active resistance" to "causing bodily harm".
In October, the RCMP and other police forces across Canada adopted directives that officers should not aim Tasers at the chests of individuals.
In March, the government was ordered by the Federal Court to reverse its decision not to seek clemency for Ronald Smith, a Canadian citizen who was sentenced to death in 1983 in the USA. International justice
In May, Désiré Munyaneza, a Rwandan national, was sentenced to life imprisonment for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity by a court in Quebec. In November, the government charged a second Rwandan national, Jacques Mungwarere, with genocide.
A new corporate social responsibility strategy announced by the government in March failed to include binding human rights requirements. Legislation to develop a human rights framework for the overseas operations of Canadian companies active in the oil, gas and mining sector was pending at the end of the year.
The world’s richest governments are effectively condemning millions of people to starvation, drought and displacement through their continued support of the fossil fuel industry, Amnesty International said today. The organization’s new policy briefing offers a damning assessment of global failures to protect human rights from climate change, and outlines how human rights law can help hold governments and companies to account.
The recent murder of a Liberian national who had settled in Ontario has made one thing clear: Canada is failing to bring those suspected of crimes against humanity and war …
Decades of resource development and government policy failures have strained the social fabric of communities in northeast British Columbia (BC), Canada, and have put the lives and safety of Indigenous women and girls at great risk, Amnesty International said in a new report.
International protection of human rights is in danger of unravelling as short-term national self-interest and draconian security crackdowns have led to a wholesale assault on basic freedoms and rights, warned Amnesty International as it launched its annual assessment of human rights around the world. “Your rights are in jeopardy: they are being treated with utter contempt by many governments around the world,” said Salil Shetty, Secretary General of Amnesty International.
This has been a devastating year for those seeking to stand up for human rights and for those caught up in the suffering of war zones. Governments pay lip service to the importance of protecting civilians. And yet the world's politicians have miserably failed to protect those in greatest need. Amnesty International believes that this can and must finally change.

One of my favorite things to eat 🙂
Fall’s Favorite Curry
- 1 cup milk of choice
- Imagine No-Chicken broth
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 2 tbsp good curry powder (make sure to use one you know that you like; once I bought a different brand, because they were out of my favorite, and it was horrible! I really like Kroger brand or SmartSpice)
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1 1/2 cups roasted sweet potato or butternut squash, mashed
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2-4 bell peppers, diced
- 1 bag broccoli florets (about 340-425 grams)
- 1 bag green beans, about 8 oz
- optional beans, for protein
Combine milk, tomato paste, curry powder, garlic, and salt in a small saucepan until well-mixed. (If you like a really saucy curry, you can double the sauce.) Meanwhile, steam the broccoli and the green beans until tender.
In a different pan from the one with the sauce, sauté the bell pepper and onion in oil or oil spray. Now add the sauce, broccoli, and green beans. Stir in the squash or sweet potato. Feel free to add beans for a protein boost. Finally, add 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup Imagine No-Chicken stock and mix it all up. It’s especially good cold… but my predilection for a cool curry might change once the winter weather hits.
What can you do when you’re sick of curry but still have some left? Throw it in the Vita-mix!I added spinach and more broth to make a Sweet Curry Soup.
Random Thought for the day:
Before I end this post, I want to leave you with a Barack Obama quote I heard on CNN last night: “Our preference is to get a shelter dog because obviously, a lot of the shelter dogs are mutts like me.”
I hugged the tv screen. No, seriously, I did. How great would it be for raising dog-adoption awareness if the president of the United States rescued a dog?! Here’s hoping…

THIS POST IS A CONTINUATION OF PART 6 , BELOW-
If the court cases due to FIRs in Police stations are computerized , you can see a SUDDEN SPURT OF WORK LOAD FOR THE JUDGES from a particular week onwards..
It is because a CRYING BOLLYWOOD SUPERSTAR said on his Axis Bank sponsored show that POLICE CANNOT REFUSE FIR – it is mandatory .
No judge will agree to this sort of thing . .
AND PRETTY SOON WE HAD THE PUBLIC RUNNING TO THE POLICE STATIONS FOR MINOR EGO PROBLEMS .
EVERY FIR, HAS ITS SHARE OF PAPERWORK , INVOLVEMENT OF LAWYERS AND JUDGES.
Lawyers have become millionaires just be getting his client “exempted from personal appearance” .
Every 4 months the lawyer will collect 5000, 20000, 40000 or more depending on how well to do his client is.
The case will drag on for years –may be 20 or 30. The lawyer milks the man on whom a frivolous FIR is slapped—by doing nothing.
The lawyer will get the next court appearance date by using a mobile phone and convey it by phone or letter to his client who lives far away..
Below: Obviously all the advise of the CRYING BOLLYWOOD SUPERSTAR was only for others--
Check out 1.10 --where "police force must not be used by HIGH AND MIGHTY for own selfish ends " .-
I was slapped with a defamation case by this CRYING SUPERSTAR by using his PET top cop.
THE COMMIE PROFESSORS OF JNU WANT TO GIVE KASHMIR AWAY TO PAKISTAN -
WE THE PEOPLE OFTEN WONDER WHAT OUR "COLLEGIUM JUDGES" WANT..
BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO BE MORTALLY AFRAID OF JEW NOAM CHOMSKY.
We want the elected legislature to amend the constitution , find an easy way to punish 100% sure TRAITOR TO WATAN JUDGES in this electronic age of video and hidden cams.
Our Constitution or any other law have proved to be insufficient in punishing higher judiciary. It happened in the case of K. Veeraswami, a former judge of the Madras High Court who was prosecuted under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1946 for financial gains.
He fought his case 134 in 1991 in the Supreme Court which held that a sanction from the Chief Justice was needed before a criminal case could be registered against a judge.
A charge framed under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1946 without the prior approval of the Chief Justice of India lacked the force to prosecute a judge charged with corruption.
The Constitution of India provides for removal of a judge by way of impeachment on the grounds of proved misbehavior or incapacity.
The instance of Justice V. Ramaswamy shows that the constitutional mechanism of impeaching a corrupt judge may fail in the absence of the support of a two-third majority in the Parliament.
V. Ramaswamy, the son-inlaw of V. Veeraswami was the first judge to face impeachment for financial irregularities committed during his term as a Punjab and Haryana High Court judge.
But he got away with impeachment as the Congress MPs sitting in opposition completely abstained from voting in the Tenth Lok Sabha.
The constitutional provisions of impeaching an errant judge can thus fail by BILDERBERG CLUB controlled political manipulations.
The faith of WE THE PEOPLE in the judiciary has been eroded because MeLord judges are NOT afraid of stigma or punishment.
During the recent times, corruption in the judiciary is at an all time high as stories of judicial misconduct continue to tumble out of judicial cupboards.
In 2002, at least thirty-four sitting judges from all the three tiers of the Uttar Pradesh judiciary came under scanner for their alleged involvement in the Ghaziabad Court employees provident fund scam. The investigation against the erring judges is on.
Of late, the two developments that have embarrassed the country’s higher judiciary are the cash-for-judge scam and the misappropriation of money by a High Court judge.
In the cash-at-judge door scam, Justice Nirmal Yadav, a sitting judge of Punjab and Haryana High Court was relieved from judicial work after her name was involved for a receiving a bag of Rs. 15 lakhs.
The bag containing Rs. 15 lakhs was mistakenly delivered at the residence of Justice Nirmaljit Kaur, another sitting judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Now, Justice Nirmal Yadav had asked the Chief Justice of India to take her back to work “as nothing has been proved”.
The second incident involves Justice Soumitra Sen of the Calcutta High Court who was held guilty of criminal misappropriation when he was an advocate and appointed receiver in a lawsuit. hereafter he became a judge of the Calcutta High Court.
On receipt of a report from the Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court, the Chief Justice of India had recommended the Prime Minister for removing Justice Sen from office. The proposal to impeach Justice Sen is yet to materialize. The errant judge had rejected the advice to resign or seek voluntary retirement after he was found guilty of misconduct. Recently Justice Sen resigned before he faced the Lok Sabha proceedings for impeachment.
Corruption, land-grabbing charges and abuse of judicial office are among the sixteen charges framed against Justice P.D. Dinakaran currently facing removal proceedings in the Parliament. Justice Dinakaran as Chief Justice of the Karnataka High Court was recommended for being appointed a Supreme Court judge in August. 2009.
But after the land grabbing allegations were levelled, he went on leave and his elevation was stopped. Thereafter he was shifted to the Sikkim High Court as Chief Justice.
Read about Tamil dalit Christian convert Paul Daniel Dinakaran Premkumar below-
Read about V Ramaswami below-
Read about Saumitra Sen below-
Read about KG Balakrishnan below-
Read about the PF scam below-
A former Chief Justice of India was accused of getting special treatment for his daughter, a practicing lawyer in the Supreme Court during his tenure as the Chief Justice of India.
Another Chief Justice of India was accused of using his position as the CJI to get the subordinate judiciary to rule in favour of his mother-in-law in a suit that had been barred by limitation for decades.
Similarly another Chief justice of India faced allegations of delivering orders against the principles of natural justice and also for furthering business interests of his family.
No charges were, however, proved in any of the above instances.
“When the robed brethren break the code of correct conduct or rob the rule of law of its efficacy, sanctity and majesty, they too must be subject to severe discipline and punitive action in case of delinquency and aberration”.
BELOW ASSET DECLARATION ON VOLUNTARY BASIS -
When an attempt was made to bring the judiciary within the purview of the Right to Information Act, 2002, the judiciary voiced strong oppositions against it.
Former Chief Justice of India, K. G. Balakrishnan went to the extent of saying that since the CJI is not a constitutional authority it does not come within the purview of the RTI
The contentions of the CJI was, however, rejected by a parliamentary committee headed by E. M. Sudarsana Natchiappanan on 29 April, 2008. The Committee held that the judiciary comes under the purview of the Right to Information law with regard to all activities of administration except “judicial decision making”.
Interpreting section 2(h) of the RTI Act, the Committee said that from the definition of ‘public authority’, it is clear that all the constitutional authorities come under the definition of ‘public authority’.
That all the wings of the State – executive, legislature and judiciary are fully covered under this Act since all organs of the State are accountable to the citizens of India in a democratic state. The judiciary cannot immunize itself from judicial accountability under the RTI Act.
Judicial Standards and Accountability Bill was brought by UPA govt but had lapsed following dissolution of the 15th Lok Sabha in 2014.
If India has to be tis planet’s superpower in 17 years, we must bring as fresh a bill that seeks to change the present system of probing complaints of “misbehavior, incapacity and DISLOYALTY TO WATAN ” against Supreme Court and high court judges.
The flawed procedure for removal of higher court judges has been exposed by the antics of Justice CS Karnan of the Madras high court. Transferred to the Calcutta high court as a disciplinary measure, Karnan stayed the transfer order of the Chief Justice of India TS Thakur.
In his five-year-long tenure as permanent judge, Karnan has acted in gross disregard of judicial impropriety several times. He has threatened to invoke the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act against his colleagues on the Madras Bench and even shot off letters alleging discrimination to the National Commission for SC/ST.
He had also accused the chief justice of the Madras HC SK Kaul of caste discrimination in apportioning judicial work. Though impeachment is the only provision available for removing high court and supreme court judges, the difficulty of garnering two-thirds majority of those present and voting, has led to the provision being sparingly used.
This is despite many judges in high courts facing allegations of corruption, sexual harassment, and misbehaviour. It is high time we enact the Judicial Standards and Accountability Bill which proposes alternate and easier processes for removal of judges.
The judiciary must not depend upon any legislation to enforce discipline among its robed brethren.
An independent judiciary is an indispensable requisite of a free society under the rule of law. Such independence implies freedom from interference by the executive or the legislature in the exercise of the judicial function but it does not mean that the judge is entitled to act in an arbitrary manner.
We must NEVER forget that the COLLGIUM Supreme Court of India has grabbed power by JUDICIAL ADVENTURISM.
And to remove a COLLEGIUM judge they have made it almost impossible, because our UNELECTED Rajya Sabha is still controlled by BIG BROTHER whom we kicked out in 1947.
Today by methods chosen by BILDERBERG CLUB, the Indian judiciary with the Supreme Court at its head and eighteen high courts in the State is THE most powerful judiciary in the world.
THE INDIAN JUDICIARY IS GUILTY OF PUSHING FOR TOTAL INDEPENDENCE , TO BE A DICTATOR, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME THEY PUSHED FOR NIL ACCOUNTABILITY.
THIS IS NONSENSE –
I SAY THIS AS A LEADER OF MEN , A COMMANDER OF SHIPS FOR 3 DECADES.
The Melords pushed their Melordship through its decisions in three main cases popularly known as the First, Second and Third Judges cases. ( THREE JUDGES CASE )
The Collegium system is one where the Chief Justice of India and a forum of four senior-most judges of the Supreme Court recommend appointments and transfers of judges. However, it has no place in the Indian Constitution. The CJI / President / ELECTED PM must follow the constitution.
The system was evolved through Supreme Court judgments in the Three Judges Cases: S.P. Gupta case (December 30, 1981) or the First Judges Case: It declared that the “primacy” of the CJI’s recommendation on judicial appointments and transfers can be refused for “cogent reasons.” The ruling gave the Executive primacy over the Judiciary in judicial appointments for the next 12 years.
Supreme Court Advocates on Record Association versus Union of India or the Second Judges Case(October 6, 1993): The majority verdict gave back CJI’s power over judicial appointments and transfers.
It says the CJI only need to consult two senior-most judges. “The role of the CJI is primal in nature because this being a topic within the judicial family, the Executive cannot have an equal say in the matter,” the verdict reasoned. However, confusion prevails as the CJIs start taking unilateral decisions without consulting two colleagues. The President is reduced to only an approver.
In Special Reference case of 1998 or the Three Judges Case (October 28, 1998): On a reference from former President K.R. Narayanan, the Supreme Court lays down that the CJIs should consult with a plurality of four senior-most Supreme Court judges to form his opinion on judicial appointments and transfers.

In the name of securing independence, the judiciary, however, lacked accountability either for the charges of corruption or for the disposal of cases or even in the matter of appointment of judges of the higher judiciary Principles of judicial independence have to be developed in consistent with the principles of judicial accountability.
In the past, the Supreme Court has clarified that policy decisions are the prerogative of the executive. Yet courts routinely pronounce verdicts on policy matters that require no legal or constitutional interpretation.
Recently, the Delhi High Court issued a notice on a self-serving petition filed by some South Delhi Residents Associations, wanting the Delhi Metro to go underground, notwithstanding the heavy cost involved. We all know these judges were the bottom dregs of the school cerebral barrel, who became lawyers.
Often judicial intervention causes more havoc than the policy it seeks to correct. Take the example of the Monitoring Committee set up by the Supreme Court in the drive to seal unauthorized commercial establishments in the national capital
The judiciary is not an elected or representative body, in touch with the people, and judges have hardly any experience in matters relating to public health, education and poverty alleviation programmes. Policymaking is best left to the executive.
That is why the judiciary must know its limits and must not try to run the government. .

Let me quote Wikipedia:--
QUOTE: Apart from being involved in the criminal extortion racket in Gujarat, Sheikh was also involved in arms smuggling in Madhya Pradesh, and also had murder cases registered against him in Gujarat and Rajasthan.
Sheikh was also claimed by the police to be associated with the banned global terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Pakistani intelligence agency Inter-Services Intelligence, and was alleged to have planned to create communal chaos in the state by assassinating "an important political leader".
Sheikh was alleged by the police to be extorting protection money from local marble factories in Gujarat and Rajasthan. He was also claimed to have links to fellow underworld criminals Sharifkhan Pathan, Abdul Latif, Rasool Parti and Brajesh Singh, who were all members and associates of India's largest organized crime network and underworld mafia operated by Dawood Ibrahim.
During investigations before he was arrested, the Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) of the Gujarat police claimed to have found 40 AK-47 assault rifles from his village residence in Madhya Pradesh. Sohrabuddin Sheikh was accused of possessing 40 AK-47 assault rifles that were recovered from his house in Jharania village of Ujjain district in 1995.
At the time of his killing, he also had more than 60 pending cases against him, ranging from extorting protection money from marble factories in Gujarat and Rajasthan, to arms smuggling in Madhya Pradesh, to murder cases both in Gujarat and Rajasthan.
Sheikh was a notorious underworld criminal with links to the Sharifkhan Pathan alias Chhota Dawood and Abdul Latif gangs, and with Rasool Parti and Brajesh Singh, both known to be close to India's underworld kingpin Dawood Ibrahim. To escape the police, Sheikh fled with his family from Gujarat to the city of Hyderabad in the state of Telangana.UNQUOTE

A parliamentary standing committee, chaired by E. M. Sudarsana Natchiappan, stated that "to meet the ends of social justice and equity," the quota for the Scheduled Cates, the Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) should be extended to the higher judiciary.
HEY HOW ABOUT ARMY GENERALS , BRAIN SURGEONS AND CRICKET TEAM TOO ?
CJI MELORD ARE THE INDIAN JUDGES HAVING A HIDDEN UNION ?
12 year ago, more than two dozen judges of the Punjab and Haryana High Court went on a mass leave. 25 judges of the Punjab and Haryana High Court took offence when the Chief Justice, B. K. Roy, issued notices to two judges of the high court, questioning them about accepting free membership to a private golf club on the outskirts of Chandigarh.
A public interest litigation (PIL) was pending against the golf club in the high court. The judges found the interference offensive and protested by going on mass leave.
President A.P.J. Kalam shot off a sharp and disapproving letter to the Chief Justice of India (CJI). Our current President would have continued walking on his lawns eating MISTI DOHI.
Striking might be a legitimate weapon of protest in a democracy,but workers going on strike and judges going on strike are a different kettle of fish.
Strikes as an instrument of protest are only legitimate for those sections of society that are either marginalised or trying for a collective bargain.
The judiciary does not fall in either category.
The judiciary is not a part of the working class. It forms the ruling establishment. It is odd for them to go on strike. Judges have routinely come down on workers and lawyers for using strikes as a mode of protest.
This one-day mass leave has eroded the common man’s faith in the judiciary. The judges have behaved like they were in a trade union let my JNU student Kanhaiya Kumar , by going on an arbitrary mass leave.
WE THE PEOPLE WILL NOT GET SURPRISED IF CM OF DELHI KHUJLIWAL GOES ON STRIKE.
THIS SLIME BALL IS THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN INDIA.
Melords, in a working democracy many matters and controversies are best resolved in non-judicial setting
Can you believe this? There was a Punjab and Haryana High Court order directing creation of posts of tractor driver to accommodate two gardeners employed on daily wages at a golf club run by the Haryana Tourism Corporation and were asked to perform the duties of tractor drivers.
Our constitution does not confer any authority or jurisdiction for Judicial 'activism'
THIS BLOGSITE WARNS THE COLLEGIUM JUDGES— IT IS VERY EASY TO CHERRYPICK AND PLAY TO THE GALLERY.
ANYBODY CAN DO THAT .THE EXECUTIVE TOO CAN DO THIS TO YOU.
LET NOT A DAY COME WHERE THE EXECUTIVE STARTS JUDGING , TO PAY YOU BACK IN THE SAME COIN.
WHEN THE SYSTEM BREAKS DOWN, THE JUDGE WILL RULE AND CALL FOR THE CRIMINAL TO BE ARRESTED . AND THE POLICE MAY SAY , YOU DO IT YOURSELF .
AT THE END OF THE MONTH, THE EXECUTIVE MAY WITHHOLD YOUR SALARY.
LET US NOT BREAK THE SYSTEM.
DO NOT LET THE JNU COMMIE PROFESSORS GET AWAY !
DO NOT LET THE JNU COMMIE PROFESSORS GET AWAY !
It was P N Bhagwati and VR Krishna Iyer who introduced the concepts of PIL and absolute liability to the Indian judicial system. Both wrangled India’s second highest civilian award , the Padma Vibhushan
The Melords never cared to control the loudspeakers in mosques –though they went hammer and tongs against every other loudspeaker.
In no Constitution in the world is the power to select and appoint judges conferred on the judges themselves and WE THE PEOPLE shall not have it in India.
The Supreme Court has made an order even in a military operation. In 1993, the Court issued orders on the conduct of military operations in Hazratbal shrine, Kashmir where the military had as a matter of strategy restricted the food supplies to hostages. The Court ordered that the provision of food of 1,200 calorific value should be supplied to hostages.
Commenting on this, an Army General wrote: “For the first time in history, a Court of Law was asked to pronounce judgment on the conduct of an ongoing military operation. Its verdict materially affected the course of operation.” This ruling we know was influenced by foreign forces—we will NOT have Judiciary interfering with India’s security ever again.
Even proceedings of Legislatures are controlled by the Court. In the Jharkhand Legislative Assembly case, the Supreme Court ordered the Assembly to conduct a Motion of Confidence and ordered the Speaker to conduct proceedings according to a prescribed agenda and not to entertain any other business.
Its proceedings were ordered to be recorded for reporting to the Court. These orders were made in spite of Article 212 of the Constitution which states that Courts are not to inquire into any proceedings of the legislature
While the Melords have come to recognize and enforce rights for the most disadvantaged sections in society through an expanded notion of ‘judicial review’— the COLLEGIUM judges must know, that like dowry complaints most of these dalit complaints ( led by foreign funded NGOs ) are also false.
The constitution clearly says that the executive will appoint judges after consulting the judiciary. Articles 124 and 217 are the relevant laws on the appointment of judges.
Article 124, inter alia, says:
“Every Judge of the Supreme Court shall be appointed by the President by warrant under his hand and seal after consultation with such of the judges of the Supreme Court and of the high courts in the states as the President may deem necessary for the purpose and shall hold office until he attains the age of 65 years: Provided that in the case of appointment of a judge other than the chief Justice, the chief Justice of India shall always be consulted.”
Article 217 says, inter alia: “Every judge of a high court shall be appointed by the President by warrant under his hand and seal after consultation with the Chief Justice of India, the Governor of the state, and, in the case of appointment of a judge other than the chief Justice, the chief Justice of the high court….”.
The constitution is clear that the executive appoints judges in consultation with the judiciary. Not the other way around.
It is worth noting that in the US, judge selection is entirely a political process (existing judges have no say) and in Britain (for England and Wales), the 15-member Judicial Appointments Commission has 15 members, among whom only five are judges. The chairman of the JAC is a lay person, and not a judge.
In contrast, in the Indian NJAC, the CJI is the head. There is no way anyone can say the new law diminishes the judiciary.
As the US and UK examples show, globally it is not judges who appoint judges. Moreover, democracy means laws are made by elected representatives, and not judges.
Judges only have to interpret the laws and check if they impinge on the basic freedoms guaranteed by the constitution. In recent years, judges have been foraying into DANG thing
VR Krishna Iyer was the law minister in India’s first Communist government—in Kerala—making him the only Supreme Court judge to have served as a politician prior to his appointment to the apex court.
In future we shall NOT have Judges with known hardcore political leanings.
His penchant to give succor to foreign black mambas at the expense of the watan is well known.
In 1987, VR Krishna Iyer stood as the combined opposition candidate in the presidential election, but lost to Congress candidate R. Venkataraman.
Quoting Winston Churchill to highlight the importance of free and fair elections in democracy, what VR Krishna Iyer wrote in a judgement in 1977 : “At the bottom of all tributes paid to democracy is the little man, walking into a little booth, with a little pencil, making a little cross on a little bit of paper—no amount of rhetoric or voluminous discussion can possibly diminish the overwhelming importance of the point.”
It cannot be any job of the judiciary to thwart the people’s will. The will of the people means the right to change the laws – as long as they are not in contravention of the basic features of the constitution.
The NJAC may not be the best thing to happen to judicial appointments, but it is ANYDAY better than the opaque collegium system. We can fix the warts once they are visible.
A weakened political class has over the last 3 decades meekly surrendered to judicial supremacy. But now Modi has a FULL majority in the Lok Sabha.
WE THE PEOPLE expect him to set right this bullshit system where lawyer turned judges play god.
EVER HEARD OF JUSTICE MOHIT SHAH ?

Centre for Public Interest Litigation is a TROJAN HORE NGO that keeps filing PIL.
Exasperated the current CJI T Thakur asked-
“Are you a professional litigant? What is the process (of filing cases)? Is there scrutiny?,” “You shouldn’t become an instrument in the hands of other interests.”
The CPIL was established by late Justice V. M. Tarkunde, a former judge of the Supreme Court of India.
Tarkunde was a founder of People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL ) along with Jayaprakash Narayan, ( a CIA spook ).
Arun Jaitley, Arun Shourie were all part of PUCL.
Dr Binayak Sen the NAXAL THINKER was National Vice-President of the Union of PUCL and neatly placed a General Secretary of its Chhattisgarh unit— the naxal HUB.
In 2010, NAXAL THINKER Binayak Sen was convicted of sedition and sentenced to life imprisonment. After his conviction, he was later released on bail by the Supreme Court of India without any reasons – mind you, JEW NOAM CHOMSKY had put pressure.
Other founder members of PUCL were senior advocates and MEDIA DARLINGS including Fali Sam Nariman, Shanti Bhushan, Colin Gonsalves.
COMMIE Justice VM Tarkunde was a board member for the International Humanist and Ethical Union(IHEU), the world union of Humanist organisations for over 40 years.
Tarkunde was a sidekick of Rothschild’ stooge MN Roy, the founder of Indian Communism who had a HONEY POT JEWESS mistress Evelyn Trent.
In 2007, Prashant Bhushan of the CPIL filed a petition with the Delhi High Court to investigate whether there had been kickbacks in the 2005 Scorpene submarine deal.
The High Court took a strong line with the investigating agency, saying "We feel dissatisfied with that you've done so far. If you've tried to shield someone, then we will come down very heavily on you"

I listen to a lot of books on tape. I chose this book because I love Susan Bennet as a narrator and I though the story looked interesting. I have to say I enjoyed this book in a way I haven't enjoyed one in a long time. It was funny, sexy, exciting and frankly a lot of fun. I hope the sequel comes to audible sometime soon!
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
Very entertaining, constantly moving and fun. The humor is excellent I couldn't stop laughing during parts of the book. Great concept for a storyline. Always love to hear Susan Bennet read anything, but she does a great job giving the main character a unique personality. Great book, I plan on listening to the complete series.

In response to Monday’s piece, "The Evidence is Clear: Steve Cooley is Right Choice for AG," by Sacramento County District Attorney Jan Scully and Kern County District Attorney
Dear Jan and Ed,
It is unfortunate that you let your good names be used by Steve Cooley’s campaign hacks to distort my record in the article published over your names on the Fox and Hounds website this morning. Jan-we’ve worked together on the Masters in Law program for prosecutors that I established at Chapman with the collaboration of the California District Attorneys Association, and you know that the breadth of my relevant experience is much broader than the article attributed to you conveys.
Ed, your own brother is supporting my candidacy after hearing about the significant constitutional appellate experience I will bring to the office of Attorney General, including involvement in over 50 cases before the Supreme Court of the United States-experience that no other candidate in the race, Democrat or Republican, has.
The Senate Must Demand a Commitment to the Rule of Law from President Obama’s Next Supreme Court Nominee
Justice Stevens announced his retirement last week. Now the sixty-four thousand dollar
question: Who will President Obama appoint to replace him? Some might believe that the answer to
this question is not important because everyone knows that the President will
just replace a liberal with a liberal, but they would be wrong. The key question is not what the new
justice’s policy orientation is; rather, the question of most concern to me,
and that should be of most concern to us all, is whether the new justice will
be dedicated to the rule of law, or will add fuel to a disturbing trend in the
judiciary of placing policy ahead of objective decision-making. The choice is crucial because I believe
that the commitment to follow the law as interpreted by our judiciary will be
jeopardized if Americans come to believe that judicial decisions are nothing
more than lawmaking based on the justice’s policy preferences, behind a phony
mask of legal interpretation.
From his actions thus far, I fear that President Obama will
make the wrong choice. In his
State of the Union Address last January, the President criticized the Supreme
Court’s decision in Citizens United,
where the Supreme Court held that the First Amendment guarantee of free
speech-"Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of
speech"-prohibits Congress from silencing corporations during elections. Although I agree with the Supreme
Court’s reasoning in that case, I would not have been alarmed had the President
merely disagreed with the Court’s interpretation of the First Amendment. I have certainly criticized my share of
Supreme Court opinions. But what
alarms me is that the President never mentioned the First Amendment-or the
Constitution for that matter.

Hard-hitting practices are a thing of the past
Wed, 21 Aug 2013 03:27:43 GMT —
New policies went into effect in June regarding concussions during sporting events.
According to the Center for Disease Control, girls soccer and boys football are the most dangerous sports when it comes to concussions. More than 173,000 kids are treated each year for the head injury.
A new guideline requires athletes with a concussion to sit games out and get a doctor's approval before rejoining their team on the field.
Now coaches are doing their best to keep their players in the game.
â??I noticed that we haven't been doing more hitting," said Kaleb Hauser, Kalkaska Senior. "We've just been doing a lot more running around and walking through everything."
Football coaches aren't taking any risks when it comes to concussions this season.
â??We don't need to prove who's a He-man out here and just keep pounding it," said Greg Vaughan, Traverse City St. Francis Head Coach. "The head is something we're precautionary about.â??
Coaches are revamping the play book, eliminating unnecessary hits in practice.
â??If you look at the concussion research it's not necessarily the huge hit that everyone thinks. It's the repetition of hits after hit after hit,â?? said Vaughan.
Trimming back on live situations in practice allows the coaches to bring it back to the basics.
â??If anything that's the one thing maybe we're doing a little bit better job of this year is trying to hone in on those details and making sure the kids are disciplined,â?? said Vaughan.
Having a better grasp on the game can help the teams in the long run. In theory, fewer athletes will be sidelined for injuries, something no player looks forward to.
â??Of course the guys are upset about it, but you know, we don't want anyone to get seriously injured out there,â?? said Hauser.
Regardless of how the rules and safety guidelines are altered, some things will never change.
â??My mom's always worried because she's a mom, but she's been exposed to the game all her life so she knows what can happen," said Byron Bullough, St. Francis Senior. "She very well accepts what can happen. We just try, we just go out there and play."
The St. Francis head coach said in the past they usually spent one day teaching the athletes how to tackle properly. This year they spent three days.
The new policy also requires all coaches and volunteers to go through concussion awareness training. Athletes and their parents must sign off on educational information regarding the signs and symptoms of concussions as well.

How are ‘the past’ and constructions of ‘pastness’ being fashioned into new green materialities that act to perform ‘green economy’ responses to ecological crisis?
2. Conservation and cultural landscapes
How do the new green materialities identifed in (1) intersect with differing cultural conceptions of environmental change and sustainability?
3. Environmental change
How can archival and repeat landscape photographs anchor understandings of environmental change, constructions of environmental pasts, and visionings of environmental futures?

In a widely shared video that reporters got, teachers were heard lamenting that their reduced income no longer allowed them to pay their bills, which was negatively affecting their emotional and mental health.
The south-east London borough of Lewisham is home to Lewisham College, a higher education institution. It was founded in 1990 after operating under the Inner London Education Authority from the early 1970s and going by the name SELTEC (South East London College of Technology). There are two campuses for the college: the main one is in Brockley on Lewisham Way, and the other is on Church Street.
The salary gap between teachers in schools and colleges currently stands at almost £9,000 since 2009. Pay in higher education has also lagged behind inflation by 35% since 2009.
The College’s librarian, Peter Bicknell, announced he was going on strike because his finances had gotten worse and his pay had been locked for too long.
He declared, “I frequently go into overdraft these days. It has become extremely challenging because of rising energy and food prices.
“I’ve had enough. Following freeze after freeze, [pay] has been frozen. Some of my coworkers are in a lot worse situation than me, and it has been developing for months. I’m hoping this will make a difference.
“Unqualified college teachers can make as little as £21,000 per year, according to UCU, while qualified teachers can make as little as £26,000.
“While RPI inflation is currently at 12.3%, the Association of Colleges, the employer representative, recommended a wage increase of 2.5% in June.
The educational company NCG employs personnel as well as Lewisham College.
Georgi Bochevski, one of the teachers, said: “When you can’t pay the rent, your transport, you have to find the solution to start doing any extra work. And if you don’t have time for extra work then you can take credit cards or overdrafts. And when you can’t meet these basic needs, you start to struggle mentally.”
Portia Tertullian, a different teacher, said she is concerned because she doesn’t know how long the situation would persist without a solution.
During the protest, the students could also be seen standing beside their teachers. For instance, Millicent Zwane, a student, stated: “I support it 100% because it is not fair on the teachers. Because I came this morning to study and I found out there is a strike because they are not being paid enough.”

‘Statelessness and Transcontinental Migration’
UNU-GCM’s Second Conference
UNU-GCM is organizing its second conference on ‘Statelessness and Transcontinental Migration’, on 24th and 25th July 2014. It will include five sections addressing issues of: citizenship, human security, urban vulnerabilities, non-state actors in migration management and sub-Saharan migration to the Mediterranean. Alongside the academic discussions, non-academic events will address statelessness through artistic production and activities.
This conference focuses on a range of issues related to the wellbeing and recognition of people who traverse continents devoid of citizenship. Issues related to refugees remain crucially unanswered in debates and policies surrounding migration. In the wake of acknowledgement within the academy that it is not always possible to isolate refugees from migrants, this conference analyses a range of contexts where dignity and human rights are compromised through the absence of legal and political recognition. By focusing on situations of extreme vulnerability and on lives lived on the borderline, this conference seeks to articulate and address urgent needs with regard to the stateless migrants who have entered Europe.

Labour said they would not support the introduction of a £10 monthly fee for NHS patients, as proposed by former Labour health minister Lord Warner in a report by a centre-left think tank.
Jamie Reed, Labour’s Shadow Health Minister, said:
This is not something Labour would ever consider. We believe in an NHS free at the point of use, and a Labour government will repeal David Cameron's NHS changes that put private profit before patient care.
The truth is that after wasting £3 billion on a damaging reorganisation and causing a crisis in A&E, it is David Cameron you can’t trust with the NHS.

Backwater Blues (2014)
- Woodcut on chine collé, 27 3/8 x 14 3/8 inches. Edition of 30. $1,500.
- Woodcut, 32 x 19 inches. Edition of 30. $1,500.
- All printed and published by Tandem Press, Madison, WI.
Alison Saar’s art addresses race, gender and class inequalities through powerfully built female figures, often nude or simply clothed, looking out with a stolid, haunting gaze. Though known primarily as a sculptor, she has created dozens of editions over her three-decade-long career, most frequently in woodcut. Wood forms a bridge between the prints and the sculptures, which are carved and embellished with “historically charged, richly tactile materials—coal, tar, wood, rope, antlers, ceiling tin, old tools,” as described by Art in America. ((Leah Ollman, “Alison Saar/Los Angeles: Otis College of Art and Design,” Art in America 100, no. 10 (November 2012): 176–77.))
Two of Saar’s new editions translate this canny use of found objects to printmaking. Used sugar-sack quilts serve as the printing surface for Mirror, Mirror: Mulatta Seeking Inner Negress and Cotton Eater (alternative versions of these images were also produced with chine collé and solid-color backgrounds, respectively). Saar explains she was drawn to the quilts because of their role as recycled bedding (they are worn thin and repaired to the point of disintegration) and also as a metonym for “the dark history of sugar and cotton…in fostering the slave trade in America.”1
With the exception of Backwater Blues, which is a meditation on the plight of Hurricane Katrina’s victims, all of the new editions allude to classical literature. The central figure in Cotton Eater was inspired by the lotus eaters of the Odyssey: absently munching on cotton bolls she evinces a “state of apathy…but her stomach is distended by malnutrition,” Saar explains. Cotton represents not just the slave trade, but the myriad empty promises made to African-Americans over the centuries. Shorn–which shows a nude woman standing in a pile of her own hair with a shard of glass in her hand–alludes Demeter’s grieving over the loss of her daughter in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. It seems fair to assume that Mirror, Mirror: Mulatta Seeking Inner Negress purposely evokes Snow White and the fairy tale’s implications for female self-critique rooted in European standards of beauty: while the woman gazing into the mirror is light-skinned, the face that stares back at her is dark.

A natural, golden tan can improve a person’s appearance. It adds a healthy glow to the skin and, in some cases, can give the perception of weight loss. While spray tans are an option, many people aren’t happy with the orange tones that often result in a fake, unhealthy-looking pigment. UV tanning in Appleton WI, offers several benefits that keep individuals coming back to the tanning bed consistently.
Vitamin D levels in the body aren’t always consistent. In fact, most people see a decline in their vitamin D during the winter months because of their lack of sun exposure. It’s interesting to note that there are health risks associated with a consistent vitamin D deficiency. Individuals spending time in the tanning beds are being exposed to UVB, which increases the levels of vitamin D. Research continues to be done on the benefits the body receives with increased levels of vitamin D.
Studies of individuals enjoying UV tanning have shown an increase in overall mood. This is especially the case for individuals suffering from the seasonal affective disorder. In months when the sunshine is hard to come by, people often struggle with mood and their overall well-being. UV Tanning in Appleton WI, can help a person get through the winter without facing the seasonal blues. For some, this change in mood makes a huge difference in how they see themselves as well as the world around them.
Most people feel like their appearance has improved after UV tanning. The increased pigment, the healthy glow, and the slight changes to the skin give many people a more desirable appearance. For some, this is the main reason to head to a tanning bed. This could be one of the factors associated with the improved mood that is also the result of UV exposure. Tanning offers a boost in self-confidence that could change a person’s overall mood.
While there are some risks associated with UV tanning, the benefits are often overlooked. Increased levels of vitamin D, improved mood and improved appearance can make a real difference in a person’s overall well-being. Contact Sun Seekers by Rosie for more information about UV tanning and the benefits it offers.

To address the combined importance of fathers and neighborhoods for adolescent adjustment, we examined whether associations between fathers' parenting and adolescents' problem behaviors were qualified by neighborhood adversity. We captured both mainstream (e.g., authoritative) and alternative (e.g., no-nonsense, reduced involvement) parenting styles and examined parenting and neighborhood effects on changes over time in problem behaviors among a sample of Mexican-origin father–adolescent dyads (N = 462). Compared to their counterparts in low-adversity neighborhoods, adolescents in high-adversity neighborhoods experienced greater initial benefits from authoritative fathering, greater long-term benefits from no-nonsense fathering, and fewer costs associated with reduced involvement fathering. The combined influences of alternative paternal parenting styles and neighborhood adversity may set ethnic and racial minority adolescents on different developmental pathways to competence.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) began an emergency meeting with experts on Monday on how to halt the spread of the crippling polio virus across international borders in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
Polio passes easily from person to person and can spread rapidly among children, especially in the kind of unsanitary conditions endured by displaced people in war-torn regions, refugee camps and areas where healthcare is limited.
"Wild polio virus continues to spread internationally from both endemic and re-infected countries," the United Nations health agency said in a statement, adding that the meeting in Geneva would last several days.
Health experts from North America, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East will be asked "to advise on whether the current developments on the spread of polio virus constitute a public health emergency of international concern", it said.
Polio re-emerged in Syria in 2013 for the first time in 14 years, fanning fears of a wider international proliferation and prompting a vast regional emergency vaccination campaign.
The virus invades the nervous system and can cause irreversible paralysis within hours. The WHO has repeatedly warned that as long as any single child remains infected with polio, children everywhere are at risk.
There is no cure for the disease but it can be prevented by immunisation. The polio vaccine, administered multiple times, can protect a child for life.
Although transmission of indigenous polio has been declining substantially in endemic areas since 2012, a total of 10 countries are currently considered to have active polio transmission. Three of these - Afghanistan, Pakistan and Nigeria - are still endemic for the disease and seven are countries that were once polio-free but have been re-infected.
Between January and April 2014, in what is usually the low season for polio transmission, three new cases of the virus crossing international borders have occurred - from Pakistan into Afghanistan, from Syria into Iraq and from Cameroon to Equatorial Guinea in central Africa.
"The Emergency Committee will provide advice ... as to whether this increasing international spread of polio is a public health emergency of international concern and, if so, whether temporary recommendations are needed to reduce the risk and consequences of international spread," the WHO said.
It gave no details on what those measures might be, but said it would update its advice at the end of the Geneva meeting.Last Mod: 28 Nisan 2014, 17:26
