Orthopaedic Spine Surgery
The Orthopaedic Spine Surgery Program at Mount Sinai is an internationally respected resource offering state-of-the-art evaluation and treatment of disorders of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. Our surgeons offer evaluation and treatment of the full spectrum of orthopaedic spine disorders, including disc disease and disc herniations, spinal stenosis, fractures, tumors, inflammatory conditions, myelopathy, radiculopathy, infections, and failed back.
The Orthopaedic Spine Surgery Program also provides surgical and non-surgical consultation for second opinions for surgery and Workmen's compensation claims.
Our dedicated staff, surgeons and physicians understand the devastating effect that back pain and disability can have on our patient's lives. We educate our patients about the full range of available interventions –both surgical and non-surgical- to safely and effectively treat their back pain. The Orthopaedic Spine Surgery Program works closely with non-operative spine specialists including physiatrists, pain management physicians, neurologists, rheumatologists, physical therapists, acupuncturists and chiropractors to optimize non-operative care prior to surgery.
When surgery is indicated, options include discectomy, decompression, and fusion procedures utilizing the most advanced techniques and spinal instrumentation, including minimally invasive spine surgery and microsurgery.
Thanks to the skill and expertise of our surgeons and the use of minimally invasive surgical techniques, patients who undergo spine surgery at Mount Sinai will in most cases be on their feet the same day, and will return home more quickly and with less pain than ever before.

After Peter said that, I dropped off to sleep, trying to pretend he hadn't said that. I dreamed I was with Mum again, running through the meadow, and towards an icy lake....
I wake up.
Then, I realise something.
It wasn't Mum in the dream.
It was Virgo!
Everything was spiralling out of control. Everything was so confusing. Why would I be dreaming of what Peter had experianced? And how could Virgo have drowned if I'd contacted her before he'd come?
Speaking of Peter....
Where is he?

A local University's fraternity honored and raised money Saturday morning for the 8-year-old boy, Martin Richard, who died in the Boston Marathon bombings.
When Concord University's Sigma Tau Gamma realized Richard's father was also a part of that same fraternity, they took action to help. The fraternity put together a race and for every $10 they raised, they ran 1 mile collectively.
"We had a page people could sign to give encouraging words. It filled up really quick. We raised $500. So we ran 50 miles today," said Jareth Wieland.
100 percent of the proceeds they raised will be mailed to Richard's family next week.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Governor Scott Walker is calling the state Legislature back into session on the week of December 2nd.
As he first announced last week, the Republican governor wants lawmakers to delay a scheduled January first cutoff of 77,000 people from BadgerCare.
The affected clients have incomes above the poverty level -- and Walker wanted them to sign up coverage on the federal government's purchasing exchange. However, problems with the exchange's Web site have prevented millions of Americans from signing up.
Those people have until December 15th to sign up, or risk paying fines. Walker says it's, "irresponsible to force some Wisconsinites to pay the price for the federal government's failure."
He wants to delay the BadgerCare cutoff until the end of March. He also's asking for a three-month extension of the state's health plan for high risk patients. They were also supposed to use the exchanges to get coverage by January 1st.

› A Marxist History of the World part 64: What is Imperialism? | Neil Faulkner
[…] By the early 20th century, the development of world capitalism had become highly contradictory. On the one hand, there was globalisation: rapid economic growth, the dominance of giant firms, a restless search for new markets, ever-expanding international trade. On the other, there was economic nationalism, as industrial cartels, banking syndicates, and military states fused into opposing national-capitalist blocs.
It was Germany, as the most dynamic of these blocs, that experienced the contradiction in its most acute form.
As the mass of German capital seeking markets continued to expand, it pushed beyond the limits of the existing national territory. But it then ran into barriers: protective tariffs, closed colonial markets, competition from foreign capitalists.
Here was the deepest root of the First World War. Finance capitalism – the growth of giant monopolies and the fusing of industrial, bank, and state capital – had created a dangerous world of competing nationalisms.
'When competition has finally reached its highest stage,' explained [Nikolai] Bukharin, 'when it has become competition between state capitalist trusts, then the use of state power, and the possibilities connected with it, begin to play a very large part … The more strained the situation in the world sphere of struggle – and our epoch is characterised by the greatest intensity of competition between 'national' groups of finance capital – the oftener an appeal is made to the mailed fist of state power.'

When we recently looked at the latest work on searching for evidence of life on planets orbiting other stars, the emphasis was on finding planets like ours, warm ones with liquid water and living creatures on their surfaces. Is that the only possibility? Life might take many forms, some so exotic we have not even imagined them yet, and might not recognize them when we see them. However, since the universe seems so well tuned for producing the ingredients for carbon-based life, with our Earth being an example of a planet loaded with that form of life, let's restrict ourselves to that.
For many years the standard candidates for planets bearing carbon-based life were at the right distance from their stars for liquid water to be present on their surfaces. However, now it looks as though we can expect to find life in places where that condition is not even closely met. Moreover, the key lies right under our noses, on the bottom of our oceans.
Along the mid-ocean ridges, where hot magma is not that far below the seabed, seawater finds its way underground, where it gets heated under pressure to hundreds of degrees and dissolves various minerals, many of them sulphur-bearing. The resulting cocktail, loaded with dissolved hydrogen sulphide, is then ejected from vents on the seabed. As it meets the cold seawater, it cools and the minerals start to drop out of solution. The result is that the vent water is loaded with dark particles, and looks like black smoke. This unlikely mixture, although poisonous to us, provides nourishment for rather bizarre creatures, which thrive on the sulphur-laden chemicals in the water, and have no use for oxygen. The essential thing is that these little communities centred on the black smokers have no use for sunlight or air. The Sun could go out and they would survive, in little warm, liquid oases beneath frozen oceans. In other words, here we have a possibility of life with different needs, and which could survive in places we could not. All we need is enough heat to drive these hot, mineral-laden jets. On our world the heat comes from the decay of radioactive elements in its core, and the tidal kneading it gets from the Moon.
That brings us to Europa, one of Jupiter's largest moons, located in the frigid outer reaches of the Solar System. It is covered by a layer of ice with good evidence of liquid water underneath. This is kept from freezing by heat released by Jupiter's gravity gently kneading Europa. If this heat is sufficient to drive a few black smokers, there could be life there too. Actually, now we have another unlikely-seeming candidate. It is Enceladus, one of the moons of Saturn, even further from the Sun. It looks like Europa – an ice-covered ball. However, it is warmer than it should be and experiences eruption of water, methane and other chemicals. There could easily be a dark, warm ocean under that ice. The heat to drive these eruptions would be coming from the gravitational kneading it gets from Saturn. Big eruptions suggest smaller eruptions – black smokers, maybe with exotic life forms that we simply need to go and see.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The Rehearsal Dinner invitations are elegant and sophisticated. I used "chambord" ink, which is a wine/plum color. The weight and the texture of the paper is top quality. I played with different fonts but ended up using the font that was depicted on the sample. It is classy. There is nothing negative about this product"
"Wedding Paper Divas are so accommodating and easy to work with....The finished product is beautiful and just what I was looking for....Highly recommend them for you upcoming event!"
"You need not worry about your design with WPD. You are well in their hands. They took my design and along with the pearlescent shimmer paper turned it into the perfect invite for my shower. Thank you so much WPD!"
"Appreciated the samples shown-great choices-fast delivery/review and turn around time Only negative-was not able to see color choice on sample everything else a total positive"
"This card was my favorite of all the samples. I ordered the sample in pearl white shimmer paper and I really like it. I like this invitation because it is coming from the groom's family and I did not want it to be too feminine. This is the one I am going to purchase for the event. The sample I received did not have the bands on the back as was shown on the website. This is the invitation I was first drawn to on the website and I was not disappointed with the sample."

Wow, so this was the NSA bricking Syria's main router. Did not guess that.:
Syrian Internet Is Off The Air
Click for latest update: 01:00 GMT Friday.
Starting at 10:26 UTC on Thursday, 29 November (12:26pm in Damascus), Syria's international Internet connectivity shut down. In the global routing table, all 84 of Syria's IP address blocks have become unreachable, effectively removing the country from the Internet.
We are investigating the dynamics of the outage and will post updates as they become available.
Update (15:45 UTC)
Looking closely at the continuing Internet blackout in Syria, we can see that traceroutes into Syria are failing, exactly as one would expect for a major outage. The primary autonomous system for Syria is the Syrian Telecommunications Establishment; all of their customer networks are currently unreachable.
Now, there are a few Syrian networks that are still connected to the Internet, still reachable by traceroutes, and indeed still hosting Syrian content. These are five networks that use Syrian-registered IP space, but the originator of the routes is actually Tata Communications. These are potentially offshore, rather than domestic, and perhaps not subject to whatever killswitch was thrown today within Syria.
These five offshore survivors include the webservers that were implicated in the delivery of malware targeting Syrian activists in May of this year.
It has been a crazy year for Syrian Internet transit arrangements, most recently with the loss of Deutsche Telekom as a transit provider earlier this month.
Update (20:30 UTC):
Still no signs of life from the affected prefixes. Looking back over the last week, you can see that the routing of the Syrian Internet has actually been pretty stable until today's wholesale shutdown.
There have been some brief up-and-down flickers affecting the reachability of a particular 12 networks, and there was one brief whole-country outage of less than ten minutes on 25 November. By the time that one was confirmed, the outage was over. It would be reaching to call that a "precursor event" or "practice run," but that's a possibility.
Also, some have asked about the submarine connectivity into Syria. Here's a map showing the three principal routes. There's also terrestrial connectivity into Turkey to the north, but those paths have not been reliable in recent months.
Update (01:00 GMT, 30 Nov):
The last 5 networks belonging to Syria, a set of smaller netblocks previously advertised by Tata Communications, have been torn down and are no longer routed. These blocks survived today's Internet blackout in Syria, but 12 hours after the onset, they, too are off the air. Traceroutes to these blocks now die on Tata's network in New Jersey, and websites hosted in these blocks are no longer responding.
Wow, so this was the NSA bricking Syria's main router. Did not guess that.:
Ottawa. 01.012012. At approximately 14:30 GMT, the Secdev Syria Operations Group (SOG) monitoring the Syrian Internet witnessed a substantial amount of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) route update announcements related to Syrian Internet Protocol (IP) blocks. The announcements were the precursor to most of the country going back online. BGP routes allow for communication traffic to move from one destination to another. Previously, on Nov. 29th, SecDev had reported that thousands of BGP routes had been withdrawn, effectively disabling Syria's government-controlled Internet. Reports on social media confirm that users are once again able to use TOR and VPN services. Meanwhile, Psiphon confirmed that by 15:00 GMT, 783 users had connected to the Internet, predominantly using its sophisticated Obfuscated Secure Shell cryptographic protocol (OSSH+) Syria's Minister of Telecommunications, Imad Sabouni, told Al-Ikhbaria news that the Internet returned to the country after technical crews completed repairs. Previously, in contradictory statements, the Syrian Minister of Information had said on Nov. 29 GMT that "terrorists targeted an internet cable which resulted in an outage" (Elnashra:http://bit.ly/Vbn9d4); however, the Minister of Telecommunications had blamed the outage on a technical error that crews were working hard to repair (Source coming). Social media reports claim that the Internet returned to Aleppo (partly), Damascus, Da'ara (partly), Hama, Homs, Idlib, Latakia, Raqqa, Rural Damascus, Tadmur, and Tartous. In the Deir Ezzour governorate, the Internet remains down and mobile phones are still unavailable in most areas. Other reports claim that parts of Aleppo are still facing a blackout with no cellular or ADSL internet services. There has been no news from Swieda.
Syria Has Disappeared From the Internet Not a good sign....
Syrian internet goes down, gets cut off from the world The civil war-torn nation of Syria has seemingly disappeared from the internet. In a sign that the regime
Because it worked so well for Egypt... It now looks as if Syria has pulled the plug on their main connections to the global Internet, presumably in order to disrupt communication between internal dissidents and the outside world, much as Egypt attempted to do during it's own revolt last year.

Wipro More Cautious on 2013 Than TCS and Infosys
Peter is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Bangalore based company Wipro (NYSE: WIT), one of the leading firms in India's powerful IT sector has posted mixed results for its previous quarter. Although quarterly earnings beat analysts' estimates, the outlook is weak as sales from its outsourcing services division for the current quarter ending March 2013 will most likely remain flat, or in the best case scenario, increase by 3% from the previous quarter. Following the announcement, the company's shares on the Bombay Stock Exchange slid by 6% in early hours of trading.
Wipro's quarterly net income increased by 17.9% to $317 million (Rs 17.16 billion), about $15 million more than analysts' estimates, while sales increased by 10% from last year's $2.05 billion (Rs 109.89 billion). Out of the total revenues, $1.58 billion have come from its outsourcing services unit, which forms the backbone of the company. For its final fiscal quarter of FY 2013 ending in March, Wipro expects these revenues to increase to the range of $1.585-$1.625 billion. Operating margins at this unit have increased slightly from 20.7% in Q2 ending September 2012 to 20.8% in Q3 ending December 2012.
Wipro's main competitors; the market leader Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which has significant representation in Technology GEMS ETF (NYSEMKT: QGEM), and the second biggest Indian IT firm Infosys (NYSE: INFY) have also posted strong results for their respective quarters, beating analysts' estimates; but unlike Wipro, the other two are more optimistic about the future. Overall growth in the outsourcing services market remains modest at best. TCS has the competitive advantage due to its flexible pricing policies while Infosys's earnings got a boost from its acquisition of the Zürich based management consultancy firm Lodestone for $349 million in September 2012. I have discussed Infosys and its current growth strategy in more detail in this previous article.
However, TCS and Infosys have not convinced Azim Premji, Wipro's Chairman who believes that "the overall mood on economic growth continues to be muted." Then again, Wipro relies heavily on the telecom, technology and manufacturing sectors and has already witnessed an extremely challenging period of growth following the global financial crisis. In the two years since the beginning of 2010 till the end of 2011, Wipro's stock at India's National Stock Exchange (NSE) fell by 1.4%. In the same period, TCS's shares rose by 58.5%.
Wipro's outsourcing division is not struggling anymore and is posting increasing sales. This is a big positive that has come after Wipro restructured its core operations in 2011. Growth for India's outsourcing companies in the last couple of years has remained challenging due to an economic slowdown in the U.S and Europe. The two markets contribute about 75% of total sales to India's $100 billion IT outsourcing sector.
The uncertain economic environment in the West coming from the fiscal cliff, debt ceiling and European debt crisis caused several leading clients of TCS, Infosys and Wipro to cut back on their IT spending in 2012. Research firm Gartner estimated that IT expenditure registered modest growth of just 1.8% in 2012, but it is likely to almost triple to 5.2% in 2013. On the other hand, other industry experts have identified that real growth will most likely start occurring beginning in the final quarter of 2013; before that, things will remain challenging.
In other words, while the long term outlook for Indian IT firms remains positive, particularly because India's IT sector enjoys a cost advantage that it's European or American rivals do not have, the midterm will be tough. Recent macro-economic data from the U.S. and rapidly rising commodity prices will weigh heavily on the U.S. economy as 2013 rolls on. Europe will continue to limp along now that the euro is strong enough to limit the rise in energy costs, allowing the weaker members of the Euro-zone to stabilize their economies while still receiving some support from the ECB, if only indirectly.
* Tata Consultancy Services Limited (NSE:TCS)
** US$1 = 53.89 Indian Rupees.
In the last six months, the ADRs of Wipro and Infosys have outperformed QGEM. TCS's stock at the NSE has trailed behind its rival's ADR but the company gives a competitive EPS, even in US dollar terms, and has delivered a significantly higher return on equity. TCS is the fourth biggest holding in QGEM. Besides TCS, QGEM also includes other firms in India's IT sector, including Wipro and Infosys. The ETF allocates more than 75% of its funds to the technology sector of China and India.

text: content March 14, 2005 Printer Friendly In this issue Life Extension Update Exclusive: Study finds inflammation doubles women's cardiovascular deaths What's Hot: Inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis linked to cardiovascular disease mortality Protocol: Inflammation Featured Products: N-acetyl-cysteine ArthroMax Life Extension Update Exclusive Study finds inflammation doubles women's cardiovascular deathsA study published in the March 14 2005 issue of the American Medical Association journal, Archives of Internal Medicine found that postmenopausal women's white blood cell counts were predictive of cardiovascular events and death. Elevated white blood cell count, an indicator of an inflammatory state, proved to be independent of other cardiovascular risk factors, and was found to be comparable in magnitude to C-reactive protein (CRP). Karen L Margolis, MD, of Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis , and colleagues analyzed information obtained from 72,242 participants in the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study, which enrolled 93,676 postmenopausal women. White blood cell counts were determined upon enrollment, as were other blood values and medical history. Annual questionnaires provided follow-up data, with the exception of a clinical examination at the third year. There were 1,919 deaths during an average 6 year follow up period, with 187 from cardiovascular disease. It was found that women whose white blood cell counts were in the top one-fourth of participants had twice the risk of death from cardiovascular disease as women whose counts were in the lowest quarter. Women with white blood cell counts in the top fourth also had a 40 percent greater risk of nonfatal myocardial infarction, a 46 percent increased risk of stroke and a 50 percent greater risk of dying of any cause. The authors state that white blood cell count is a widely available and inexpensive measure of inflammation. They conclude, "These data add to available evidence in men suggesting a similar link and suggest that the predictive role of the WBC count is independent of CRP. Cardiovascular risk categorization by inflammatory markers, including the WBC count, may identify high-risk individuals who are not currently identified by traditional risk factors; further studies are needed to assess the effectiveness of risk reduction in these patients." In an accompanying editorial, Mary Cushman, MD of the University of Vermont added, "Improvement of the precision of 'inflammation testing' by exploring even newer biomarkers or using combinations of tests is a ripe area for investigation. The latter will probably require pooled data from multiple studies to achieve precise risk estimates that can be translated into practice." What's Hot Inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis linked to cardiovascular disease mortality The March 2005 issue of Arthritis & Rheumatism (http://www.rheumatology.org/publications/ar) published the findings of Mayo Clinic epidemiologists that the body-wide inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis may be to blame for the increased risk of cardiovascular death in patients with the disease. Individuals with the disease have been shown to have a greater risk of dying of cardiovascular disease if they have large joint swelling, inflammation of the blood vessels (vasculitis), rheumatoid lung disease or a high erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), which measures inflammation in the body. http://www.lef.org/whatshot/#iira Protocol InflammationThe pathological consequences of inflammation are well-documented in the medical literature (Willard et al. 1999; Hogan et al. 2001). Regrettably, the dangers of systemic inflammation continue to be ignored, even though proven ways exist to reverse this process. By following specific prevention protocols suggested by the Life Extension Foundation, the inflammatory cascade can be significantly reduced. The following supplements are suggested: The docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) fraction of fish oil may be the most effective nonprescription supplement to suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines. DHEA is a hormone that decreases with age. DHEA has been shown to suppress IL-6, an inflammatory cytokine that often increases as people age. Typical doses of DHEA are 25-50 mg daily, although some people take 100 mg daily. Refer to the DHEA Replacement protocol for suggested blood tests to safely and optimally use DHEA. Nettle leaf has been shown to suppress the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-a. Take 1000 mg daily. Vitamin E and N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) are protective antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties. NAC is an amino acid with antiviral and liver protectant properties. One 600 mg capsule daily is recommended. Vitamin K helps reduce levels of IL-6, a pro-inflammatory messenger. Vitamin K also helps in the treatment of osteoporosis by regulating calcium and promoting bone calcification. One 10 mg capsule daily is recommended for prevention purposes. Do not take vitamin K if you are taking Coumadin or other anticoagulants. Consuming at least 1000 mg per day of carnosine and/or 300 mg of the European drug aminoguanidine can inhibit pathological glycation reactions in the body. http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcl-146.shtml Featured Products N-acetyl-cysteine L-cysteine is a conditionally essential amino acid, one of only three sulfur-containing amino acids, the others being taurine (which can be produced from L-cysteine) and L-methionine from which L-cysteine can be produced in the body by a multi-step process. Cysteine plays a role in the sulfation cycle, acting as a sulfur donor in phase II detoxification and as a methyl donor in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Cysteine also helps synthesize glutathione, one of the body's most important natural detoxifiers. N-acetyl-cysteine is the acetylated form of L-cysteine, which is more efficiently absorbed and used. http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00215.html ArthroMax As people age, chronic systemic inflammation can inflict degenerative effects throughout the body. A primary cause of this destructive cascade is the production of cell-signaling chemicals known as inflammatory cytokines. Along with these dangerous cytokines, imbalances of hormone-like messengers called prostaglandins also contribute to chronic inflammatory processes. As people grow older, structural alterations occur in their joints that lead to discomfort and loss of mobility. While conventional doctors rely on prescription drugs, scientists have identified a number of natural agents that provide broad-spectrum support for healthy joint function and structure. Nobiletin is a citrus flavonoid that has demonstrated potent effects in suppressing destructive cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-1 beta. In addition, nobiletin limits the production of joint damaging prostaglandin E2. A special boswellia extract known as 5-Loxin® inhibits the 5-lipooxygenase enzyme, reducing levels of joint damaging leukotriene B4. http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00682.html If you have questions or comments concerning this issue or past issues of Life Extension Update, send them to firstname.lastname@example.com or call 954 766 8433 extension 7716.

Ramsar Eastern and Southern Africa Subregional Meeting, 2001 -- Preliminary report
Ramsar Eastern & Southern Africa Subregional Meeting, Lusaka, Zambia, 12-14 November 2001
Eastern and Southern Africa Subregional Meeting on the Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar, Iran, 1971)
Lusaka, Zambia, 12-14 November 2001
Brief preliminary report
Full text of the Summary report
The Ramsar Eastern and Southern Africa Subregional Meeting was officially opened by Hon Abel Chameshi, Minister of the Land of the Republic of Zambia, who expressed his gratitude to the Ramsar Bureau for choosing Lusaka as the venue for the subregional meeting and to the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida) for the financial support, which facilitated the holding of the meeting.
The Regional Representative and Vice Chair of the Standing Committee, Mr. Paul Mafabi from Uganda, and Mr. Anada Tiega, Regional Coordinator for Africa in the Ramsar Bureau, outlined the achievements towards implementation of the Convention in the subregion and the challenges ahead.
The Secretary General of the Ramsar Convention, Mr. Delmar Blasco, highlighted the need for more resources both human and financial to facilitate implementation of the Convention by establishing a Convention presence in the regions. He also highlighted the need to integrate wetland issues into the overall sustainable development effort and to use wetlands as valuable assets for poverty eradication and socio-economic development.
This meeting was attended by delegates from the following nine Ramsar Contracting Parties: Botswana, Egypt, Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. Seven other African countries which are taking steps to accede to the Ramsar Convention participated in the meeting as well. In addition, two of the four Ramsar International Organization Partners, namely IUCN-The World Conservation Union and the World Wide Fund for Nature International, also took an active part in this meeting through the work of the delegates from their Regional Offices in Nairobi, Kenya, and Harare, Zimbabwe. WWF Headquarters in Switzerland was represented by the Living Waters Programme.
Overall the meeting was a great success, bringing together 50 participants from Eastern and Southern Africa who were able to evaluate national and subregional progress on the implementation of the Ramsar Convention and contribute to the preparation of the major tools to be submitted for consideration and adoption by the 8th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP8) in Valencia, Spain from 18 to 26 November 2002.
Some issues that were discussed as challenges to be addressed in the next triennium were:
The Ramsar Convention should seek to establish a presence in the subregion (Eastern and Southern Africa) so as to increase its profile to ensure more political support for wetland conservation and wise use.
The huge cost of combating alien invasive species in wetlands constitute a area of high priority to be addressed.
There is a significant gap in Eastern and Southern Africa to be filled in terms of membership to the Ramsar Convention, and it was suggested that the Convention work more closely with the existing subregional organizations in order to increase the profile of the Convention and help integrate wetland issues in the work of river/lake organizations and the subregional economic and development institutions, such the Southern African Development and Economic Community (SADEC) and the East African Economic Community (EAEC).
The meeting suggested that the Ramsar Convention include in its future work an action seeking to develop guidelines on prevention and possible responses to emergencies and disasters relating to wetlands, in cooperation with UN system and relevant secretariats.
When a shared wetlands has been designated as a Ramsar site by one or more riparian countries, the relevant Contracting Parties should do their utmost, with the support of the Ramsar Bureau, to encourage designation of the other parts of the wetland by all other relevant countries.
The meeting stressed the need to integrate wetland issues into the overall sustainable development effort and to use wetlands as valuable assets for poverty eradication and socio-economic development.
Finally, the meeting, echoing the South American subregional meeting, called upon the Ramsar Standing Committee to consider the desirability of adding socio-cultural and economic benefits and functions to the Criteria for Identifying Wetlands of International Importance, in light of the pre-eminent importance of issues of human uses of wetlands amongst developing countries.
-- Financial support for the meeting was generously provided by the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida) and the Norwegian Directorate for Nature Management.

Kenya make changes for PE Sevens
Kenya will be without four key players for this weekend's South African leg of the HSBC IRB World Sevens series in Port Elizabeth due to exam commitments and injuries.
Hard-working winger Collins Injera, Biko Adema and Oscar Ouma have returned home from South Africa to sit for their end-of-the year exams, while utility back Sydney Ashioya has been ruled out of the series due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Dubai earlier this month.
Kenya coach Mike Friday has recalled former captain Humphrey Kayange to take Ashioya's position as he bids to build on the success of the opening two legs in Australia and Dubai, where Kenya finished fourth and third respectively.
This will be the first game for the Bristol University student Kayange, who has had to prove his match fitness to be considered to join the squad, which will also include three rookies, Billy Odhiambo, Oscar Oyondi and Fabian Olando.
"Andrew Amonde, the captain of the Kenya Sevens team, is extremely happy to have Humphrey joining the team to assist the new debutants and other very inexperienced squad members," Friday told IRB.com
His calming experience will be an added bonus as Amonde leads his team into the Port Elizabeth round."
The Kenyans are currently placed joint-second with Samoa and Fiji in the standings with 32 points. They are grouped in Pool C alongside Argentina, Spain and Wales for this weekend's tournament.
