The Honorable Patrick Leahy
United States Senator
Statement Of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Hearing On "Responding To The Growing Need For Federal Judgeships: The Federal Judgeship Act Of 2009" Subcommittee On Administrative Oversight And The Courts September 30, 2009 Today, the Subcommittee on Administrative Oversight and the Courts holds an important hearing on long-overdue comprehensive legislation designed to address the immediate need for additional Federal judgeships in courts with the highest workloads in the country. I thank Chairman Whitehouse for chairing this hearing and for his commitment to our justice system. I trust that Chairman Whitehouse will have better cooperation that we had last year when I scheduled a similar hearing at the request of Republican Senators only to have it forestalled when they then raised an objection to proceeding with the hearing that they had requested. Earlier this month, I joined Senators Whitehouse, Feinstein, Schumer, Klobuchar, Kaufman, Franken and others to introduce the Federal Judgeship Act of 2009, S.1653. This comprehensive bill would create 63 new Federal judgeships in order to address the increasing workload of the Federal judiciary. I am confident that this increase in judgeships would improve the administration of justice for litigants across the country. The Federal Judgeship Act of 2009 is based on recommendations made this year by the Judicial Conference of the United States, and the Conference's detailed analysis of Federal caseloads. The Judicial Conference's most recent recommendations were the result of an extensive process, beginning with an assessment of district and circuit workloads. At the circuit court level, case filings per authorized judgeship are considered in conjunction with local circumstances that may have an impact on judgeship needs. In the district courts, cases are weighted to reflect the estimated time expenditure for each type of case. Workload factors such as the amount of assistance from senior and magistrate judges, unusual caseload complexity, and temporary caseload increases or decreases are also factored into the formula that resulted in the Judicial Conference's recommendations and our bill. Last Congress, I joined Senator Hatch and 20 other Senators from both sides of the aisle to introduce similar legislation. A bipartisan majority of the Judiciary Committee voted to report the bill to the Senate last year. Unfortunately, the Senate did not act on the bill before the end of the last Congress. When I reintroduced this bill earlier this month, I was disappointed that not a single Republican Senator would join as a cosponsor. Indeed, not one of the 18 Republican Senators whose states would benefit from an additional judgeship yet supports the bill. It has been nearly two decades since the last comprehensive judgeship bill was enacted. Since then, weighted filings in the district and circuit courts have increased to well above acceptable standards and in some cases have approached record caseloads. The need for new judgeships is urgent because Federal courts must have adequate judicial resources in order to ensure that all Americans receive justice in a timely manner. I understand that some partisans have decided to obstruct President Obama's appointment of judges and will object to creating any new judgeship while he is our President. Such partisanship ignores the immediate need for judges in districts in our Federal judiciary. When we passed the last comprehensive judgeship act in 1990, we knew the President who would be nominating those judges. He was a Republican. The same is true of the bill that preceded that one when we worked in a bipartisan manner in 1984. In 1984 the Democratic minority in the Senate cooperated when we added 85 new judgeships. In 1990, the Senate Democratic majority led the effort and we added an additional 85 new judgeships. We have worked together in the past - on a bipartisan basis - to pass comprehensive judgeships bills. I urge Senate Republicans to put aside their partisanship and do what is best for the Federal judiciary and the American people by passing this long-overdue bill without further delay. I am also unmoved by the partisanship now leading to demands that the effective date for the legislation be set three years from now. The bill is based on the Judicial Conference recommendation of current needs, not a projection of needs three years from now. The need is current, and our action and its effect should be as well. Indeed, for nearly 20 years, an immediate or nearly immediate effective date has been the precedent for comprehensive judgeships bills whether the President was a Republican or a Democrat. This is not like the circumstance last year when the judgeship bill was being considered during a presidential election year. In an effort to take partisanship out of the equation, that bill would have been effective upon the inauguration of the new President. That is no precedent for adding partisanship into the equation and insisting on a requirement that for the next four years the problem fester so that we can enact a measure based on out of date analysis and needs. It makes no sense for Americans to wait four more years for their rights to be protected. It already takes long enough for judicial nominees to be nominated and then considered by the Senate. Adding another four year delay is ill advised. With an immediate effective date, courts will be better equipped to swiftly and effectively respond to the resource problems that threaten the administration of justice and better protect Americans' precious rights and liberties. With today's hearing, we seek to further progress in our efforts to respond to the urgent resource needs of the Federal courts and the American people. |

In February 2013, the World Bank Group began a three-year process to review and update its Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Guidelines.
The EHS Guidelines are technical reference documents with general and industry-specific examples of Good International Industry Practice (GIIP). They contain the performance levels and measures that are normally acceptable to the World Bank Group, and that are generally considered to be achievable in new facilities at reasonable costs by existing technology. They are used by the World Bank, IFC and MIGA.
Following the 2012 update of IFC's Policy and Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability, it has been decided to update the 2007 EHS Guidelines.
The technical revision of the EHS Guidelines is expected to last three years and will be done in four phases. Each phase will consist of a "batch" of EHS Guidelines to be updated concurrently.
For each phase of updating the guidelines, the following revision process is envisioned:
Key dates:
Provide input:
As shown above, for each of the Phases of the EHS Guidelines Revision, the WBG is soliciting your feedback through two 30-day public consultations.
During Phase I, the following EHS Guidelines will be updated:

Jackson Tp. Teachers' Lecture Course--Second Number. Entertainment at the Tp. Hall LaFayette Thur., Dec. 20, 7;30 The story of the Andrews' Raid Told By Mr. W. J. Knight the Engineer of the Expedition. The Engine Captured by the Andrews Raiders. Thoroughly illustratd by numerous Large Size Oil Paintings. In April 1862, twenty-two picked soldiers left Gen. Mitchell's army in southern Tennessee and, dressed in citizens clothes, stole their way into central Georgia. Here under their leader J. J. Andrew they captured an engine, "The General," in a camp of 10,000 rebels. They ran it north, cutting telegraph wires, tearing up track, and trying to burn bridges. They were soon chased by Confederates in other engines. Mr. Knight will relate all this, and also how they were compelled to abandon their engine, were captured, suffered in southern prisons, seven were hung and how the rest escaped from prison or were exchanged. Mr. Knight ran the engine and next to Andrews was the most important member of the expedition. This is the most thrilling incident in American warfare.

Thursday Night 11/8 between 8pm & Midnight: IRIS DEMENT - Sing the Delta
By Martin Anderson
"Even though Iris DeMent admits she likes to work at her own pace when it comes to songwriting, 16 years is a long time. The songs themselves are as languorous as a hot summer afternoon, evoking DeMent's early childhood in Arkansas. In an era when we demand instant gratification from everything, DeMent's new CD says a lot for taking your sweet time." --Meredith Ochs, NPR

Microsoft still pushing 'Apple tax' notion
With Apple's last Macworld keynote speech just hours away, Microsoft is again talking up the idea of an "Apple tax" that people pay when they opt for a Mac over a Windows PC.
It's a concept that Microsoft started touting in the fall. While the words may be fairly new, the melody sounds familiar. Saying that customers pay an added cost when using a rival is a well-worn page from the Microsoft playbook. One need only look back to the anti-Linux "Get the Facts" campaign for another example.
In any case, it is a … Read more

Lorene Schwab of Eagan, Minn., would like to say thank you to her wonderful grandmother, Lorraine Anderson. "From the time I was a child, I have loved spending time with my Grandma! We love to spend time at our cabin on Caribou Lake, play cards and go shopping together. Now that I am a mom, I love watching my beloved grandma be a great-grandmother to my daughter, Lily. She plays on the floor with Lily, reads her books and never tires. My grandma is always helping out — she comes down with my mom two Fridays a month to baby-sit Lily. She even cleans our bathrooms while she visits. My grandma is a blessing in the lives of our family, I am so glad to have such a wonderful, kind and giving grandmother!"
My daughter, Lily Mae Schwab, 20 months, has the best grandparents! Lily's grandparents, Donna Mae and Tom Frisk, started taking care of her before she was even born. While I was pregnant, Lily's twin died and Lily's life also was in jeopardy. I went on bed rest for 12 weeks and Lily's grandparents moved to the Twin Cities to live with us, cook for us, clean for us, drive me to doctor appointments and stayed until after she was born healthy on Jan. 12, 2011. Since moving back home, Lily's grandma and grandpa come down to the Twin Cities two Fridays a month so she doesn't have to go to day care. They have Lily for sleepovers, take her camping, take her to story time at the library, take her to the waterpark and are very involved in her life. Lily is truly blessed with the best grandparents, and we are so grateful for all their love!

Our grandparents, Pete and Joan Wisneski, are very special to us. They are two of the most godly people we know and are kind to everyone. They have always been a large part of our lives and support everything we do, including our education and our athletics. Without our grandparents, we wouldn't have some of the wonderful memories that we have today. We love them so much!
Submitted by Morgan and B.J. Wisneski
Vanessa Anderson says: "I remember the cabin. Grandpa, Ray Ulvi, taught me how to fish there. My memory goes back to when I was about 3 years old. Whenever we had a rainstorm, a large puddle of water would form in front of my grandparents' house. Grandpa would sit me in a small pink plastic chair and give me a fishing pole he made me from a tree-branch — a string tied around it with a hook and bobber on the end. I would sit for hours fishing!
"Now I'm 27 and his only granddaughter. I have my own home, thanks to my grandparents. My grandpa, bless his heart, is my painter, plumber, carpenter and landscaper. He's there for me 24/7."
Jon Ulvi shares that he is Ray's 17-year-old grandson and his only one. "My grandfather has been a large part of my life. I remember back when I was in the third grade and one day I was coming out of school and there was Grandpa sitting in his truck waiting to take me fishing. Along with the fishing we would have big campfires, fish fries and always trying to outfish Gramps for crappies. When I got into junior high school, I drove go carts. Grandpa was my mechanic — the best. Even when I did something 'dumb' like breaking the blade on a lawnmower or messing up the barbecue grill, he would come and fix them, always wearing his loving smile.
"We are both very proud of our grandpa. He has served his country, having retired from the U.S. Air Force. He's not only there for us, but there for anyone who needs him; his neighbors, his friends, his church. He volunteers for Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank and at a local nursing home. That's why we love him and think he's so special.
"As each and every day goes by, he will do without to help us out. He spends time talking with us, gives us guidance, ideas, advice and will help us financially when we need it. Spoiled? Of course we are. But, most of all we are truly blessed to have Ray Ulvi as our awesome grandfather who turned 82 on Oct. 3. Happy Birthday Grandpa! We love you."
Anne Hilinski of Esko says her granddaughters are the sweetest girls. For her 60th birthday three years ago, they each gave her a special present. Brianna, who lives in Houston, made a collage of pictures when growing up at Grandma and Grandpa's. Brittney, who lives in Esko, wrote a poem for her. They were both 13 at the time.
I Love You Grandma
Grandma, I want you to know …
I finally figured out what makes you glow
It's your hope, faith, and love
And your guardian angel up above
Your ambition for things keeps you going
Nothing ever seems to make you down from what you're doing.
There's a reason that God put you on this earth
I bet your mother knew it since your birth.
Grandma, you were put here to help the world see
Even tho you're sixty, you sure made a difference in the world to me.
Another year older, sure you still have time to make it come true
If you don't, I'll see to it that I take your place and I do.
You may not think it, but you are the strongest being,
As you would look the devil in the eyes, you would send him fleeing.
People like you is what the devil fears most
You teach people of God, and then they see the light of him
Psh! That devil is toast!
Because of you I found God
People that don't get it find it odd.
When I let him in that night, I knew
Lori was my guardian angel.
There was that other night I felt Lori hug me,
And all I remember is thanking you for showing me.
Grandma, you're a great person and I know you're going to heaven.
If you were never the person you are now, well I guess no lucky number seven.
Grandma, I hope you know now that I love you
Age is but a number, but hey, what can I do?
We all get older but we all have a purpose here too.
I haven't figured out mine, but I just said one for you.
Grandma I love you.
You're only sixty – make it worth your while!
Wayne "Bud" and Avis Hasforth are the most amazing grandparents. My sister and I were fortunate to grow up only a few blocks away, which meant we have been able to spend a lot of time with them. Grandma was always up for baking cookies and pies with my sister, or play Legos with me. When I would be feeling artistic, she would let me use whatever I could find to complete my projects. I don't know how many bobby pins, cotton balls and how much scotch tape was used in the creation of my art, but I remember using a lot! I trust her expertise in many areas, so it isn't uncommon for me to call her with questions when I am cooking something for the first time, and my sewing projects always end up on her kitchen table!
Grandpa encouraged us to read by letting us pick out a brand new book each time we completed reading a book to him. Grandpa also is a very talented woodworker. Among other things, he made beautiful cedar hope chests for his four granddaughters, and a grandfather clock for his only grandson. My sister asked him to please make us clocks as well, and I am proud to display mine in my living room today! I look forward to passing my cedar chest down to my daughter one day.
They have taken many trips to Oregon to visit family, and my sister and I each had the opportunity to go with them. I got to see the national parks and other landmarks in eight states, and cousins I had little contact with before then. We would not have had the chance to travel across the country and see the states the way we did otherwise. They also took us camping in the summers.
Breakfast at Grandma's on Christmas morning is one of our favorite pasttimes. Growing up and extending our families has made this more difficult to maintain, but it is something we feel strongly about. This past year though, we did give Grandma the morning off and my husband baked her yummy egg bake recipe. We were happy that we were all still together Christmas morning at least.
When my husband and I bought our first house, my grandparents were there. My grandpa cleaned all my windows inside and out, while my grandma helped me inside. I will never forget her down on her hands and knees with me, scrubbing the entryway floor. She would always say "if I get down, I may not get back up!" but there she would be on the floor playing Legos with me, years later on my floor scrubbing away, and even now on the floor with my children playing with those very same Legos! She just doesn't seem to age. When we sold our house five years later, they let us stay with them for four months until we found a different house. We can't thank them enough for all they have done for us throughout the years, and I am so thankful my children are getting the chance to know them like I do!
The things I could say are endless so I will wrap it up with this, I love you Grammy and Grampy. Thank you for all the wonderful memories and more to come!

Keeper Julie has her hands full looking after our beautiful baby Mountain Pygmy-possums – even though they're so tiny!
Julie is looking for a team of Keepers for a Day to help fight extinction and care for our precious endangered species.

When I open Simulation CFD for the first time, I get a message telling me that a material database file was not found.
I have verified that matprop.cfdmdb exists, it is exactly where it should be.
I then tried to delete the 'cfdesign_db_dictionary.xml' file like it suggests, but that file isn't there so I couldn't do that.
Finally I tried to run 'CFdConfig'; but that file isn't there either.
Does anyone have any ideas?

The accelerating growth of data and knowledge in evolutionary biology is indisputable. Despite this rapid progress, information remains scattered, poorly documented and in formats that impede discovery and integration. A grand challenge is the creation of a linked system of all evolutionary data, information and knowledge organized around Darwin's ever-growing Tree of Life. Such a system, accommodating topological disagreement where necessary, would consolidate taxon names, phenotypic and geographical distributional data across clades, and serve as an integrated community resource. The field of evolutionary informatics, reviewed here for the first time, has matured into a robust discipline that is developing the conceptual, infrastructure and community frameworks for meeting this grand challenge.

- Ascertainment bias
- a bias that results owing to some members of a population being less likely to be sampled than others. This bias leads to a mismeasure of the true frequency of a phenomena and, thus, to errors in inference.
- Data object
- a structured representation of data, thus including the object itself and its description. In evolutionary biology, data objects can be gene sequences, images, text blocks, or any other discoverable aspect derived from biological specimens of any sort.
- Digitization
- conversion of analog data, such as physical specimens or printed pages, into digital formats that promote easy discovery, access and use.
- DNA barcoding
- the use of community-approved short genetic markers to help identify and potentially diagnose a taxon.
- Environmental sequencing
- a method of sequencing an environmental sample, such as soil, to determine a set of genes contained in that sample. Depending on the markers selected to be sequenced, the effort may be used for taxonomic binning or for determining functional characteristics of a community.
- Identifier
- in this context, a string of letters, numbers, or some combination of these applied to a distinct data object, name, or taxonomic concept so that it can be effectively managed or linked by database systems. Identifiers are unique in some context and some are considered 'Globally Unique' (i.e. GUIDs).
- Metadata
- most generally, metadata are data about data (or data sets). Metadata provide information about one or more aspects of the data, including data ownership, the purpose for which the data were collected, the standards used in data collection, and so on.
- Phenome
- the complete set of phenotypes of an organism, at all organizational levels and at all times through its development. Phenomics is the systematic study of phenomes.
- Semantic web
- a web of data and their descriptions that can be linked together and interpreted by machines. The Semantic Web relies on data being locatable on the World Wide Web and on ontologies that describe the formal semantic relationships between data.
- Taxonomic concept
- a particular definition used by an author when referring to a taxonomic name. The same name may thus refer to different taxonomic concepts, depending on the author.
- Text mining
- the process of extracting high-quality and often specific types of digital information from a full text. In evolutionary informatics, an example is finding and tagging taxon names from biodiversity heritage literature.

NYSNA's Leadership Academy is designed to advance members' knowledge and appreciation of the New York State Nurses Association, as they prepare for leadership roles. In this introductory Tier, they complete independent study exercises, with basic information about the Nurses Association and other topics important to nursing leaders. Members who complete the five Tier 1 modules may apply to become Leadership Fellows.
In this module you will discover the Nurses Association's mission, vision and values, as well as the many services and programs NYSNA offers its members. Occasionally links are provided to additional information on NYSNA's web site. Use these links to "explore" throughout NYSNA's web site, and obtain information to assist you in the examination at the end of the module. You must complete and return the examinations for each module.
NYSNA was founded in 1901 as the nation's first state nurses association. Throughout its history, the Nurses Association's mission has been to promote the interests of registered nurses and to exert its influence to improve the healthcare system.
In 1904, NYSNA officially voted to affiliate with the Nurses Associated Alumnae, a national organization of nurses that was renamed the American Nurses Association (ANA) in 1911. Currently, the NYS Nurses Association is the largest constituent nurses association in the ANA.
The mission of the New York State Nurses Association is to support and enhance the practice of the registered professional nurse and improve the public's health by providing leadership in changing the healthcare environment.
Nursing is evolving, innovative, accessible and reflects society's diversity. Registered professional nurses are recognized as essential providers of healthcare services and the primary advocate for the public. Nurses understand the value of collective power and actively engage in organizations that promote nursing — practice and community involvement.
NYSNA's highest authority is the Voting Body, which includes all members who attend the association's annual business meeting. At these sessions, members vote on bylaws changes, legislative priorities, and other matters related to the association and the profession.
A 21-member Board of Directors is responsible for corporate management as well as fiduciary affairs and is authorized by provisions of applicable law to do all things appropriate and necessary for the development and perpetuation of NYSNA. Board members include five officers (president, 1st vice president, 2nd vice president, secretary, and treasurer), ten directors at large, and six regional directors. These individuals are elected by the entire membership, and each serve a three-year term with a maximum of two consecutive terms in the same office.
The Committee on Bylaws and the Committee on Finance are standing board committees. Members are appointed by the Board of Directors.
There are seven advisory councils, with members are appointed by the Board of Directors:
Seven Practice Focus Groups (PFGs) allow members to improve their professional practice and development within a specific practice area. Each unit has an executive committee including a chairperson, vice chairperson and three members-at-large. Executive committee members are elected during annual business meetings and attend meetings of the Council on Nursing Practice. PFGs include:
There are two board-appointed advisory groups. The HIV/AIDS Advisors and the Rural Health Committee provide information to the Council on Nursing Practice and the Council on Ethics and Human Rights.
The Board of Directors has the authority to establish special committees as needed. Current NYSNA special committees are the Membership Committee and the Peer Assistance Committee.

NYSNA first showed its concern about the economic security of nurses in 1918 when the association established a Committee on Nurses Relief Fund. In the 1930s and 1940s, the association vigorously promoted the eight-hour day and began to seriously examine employment conditions.
In 1957, the NYSNA House of Delegates unanimously approved the formation of the Economic & General Welfare Program to represent registered nurses for collective bargaining. By 1962, NYSNA had 51 local bargaining units and a decade later became the largest union for registered nurses in the country, representing nearly 30,000 RNs.
The Economic and General Welfare (EGW) Program is primarily responsible for providing services to NYSNA members represented by the association for collective bargaining. EGW offices are located in Latham (NYSNA headquarters), and in New York City.
Currently there are more than 160 NYSNA local bargaining units (LBU), each with its own contract and governing rules. A Nursing Representative and a Labor Representative are assigned to each LBU to assist members in enforcing the terms of their contract, pursuing grievances and arbitrations, and running their units effectively.
The EGW Resource Team provides services to all LBU members. A Labor Educator conducts in-facility workshops on negotiations, grievances, the history of nursing labor organizations, and many other topics. An Occupational Health and Safety Representative works with nurses to improve their workplaces and promote environmentally friendly health care. The Community Affairs Representative assists members in promoting legislation at the local level, primarily in New York City.
An important part of EGW Program activities is organizing nurses who want to form NYSNA bargaining units at their facilities. A Director of Organizing supervises a staff skilled in this area.
The Congress includes the chairpersons or presidents of all NYSNA local bargaining units. This group meets twice a year to discuss common labor and workplace issues. It serves in an advisory capacity to the Executive Director and the E&GW Program Director.

The Nursing Education and Practice (NEP) Program assists NYSNA members with a broad spectrum of nursing issues involving education, practice, and research.
Registered nurses in the NEP Program are experienced in answering questions about the legal scope and ethical aspects of nursing practice in a variety of settings. They respond on a daily basis to members and staff who have questions related to these issues. In an effort to promote high standards of nursing practice while preserving and protecting the profession, NEP staff monitor and work with regulatory agencies, coalitions, and other stakeholders throughout the state.
The NEP Program is committed to maintaining the quality of nursing education in New York State, and serves as a resource for nurse educators and staff development professionals. Career resource materials and information on the profession are available to guidance counselors and instructors at both the high school and college levels.
NYSNA provides on-site workshops and seminars that cover a broad array of topics and issues. Some of the more popular onsite topics are pharmacology and medication administration, avoiding malpractice, and knowing the Nurse Practice Act.
NYSNA also offers online courses at its e-leaRN™ website. Offerings include New York State mandatory courses on infection control and identifying child abuse, which can be completed online with the results transmitted electronically to the State Education Department Licensing Division.
NYSNA works closely with the Cathryne A. Welch Center for Nursing Research Steering Committee to promote and advance nursing research in the state. Of particular interest is encouraging evidence-based practice among nurses. Many of these goals are advanced by the NYSNA Council on Nursing Research.

The Statewide Peer Assistance for Nurses (SPAN) Program was created by NYSNA in 1992 to provide resources for nurses whose practice was in danger of being impaired by the use of alcohol and other drugs. In 2000, a state law established the program for all RNs and LPNs in the state. NYSNA was first awarded the state contract to administer the SPAN program in 2001.
The program uses the strategies of direct education, support groups, and volunteer RN advocates who mentor SPAN participants. While the program does not provide treatment for addiction itself, it helps connect nurses with the services they need through referrals. Participants also receive help with licensure issues.
SPAN operates a confidential toll-free HELPline (800.45.SPAN.1) that allows nurses to contact the program 24/7. Participants are assessed and mentored by regional SPAN coordinators, who are registered nurses with expertise in treatment for addictive disease.

The Nurses Association's first initiative was the passage of a state Nurse Practice Act. This law was enacted in 1903 after extensive lobbying efforts by NYSNA and its members. It permitted registration of qualified nurses and created the title "registered nurse."
In 1938, New York became the first state in the nation to require licensure for "all who nurse for hire." The legal definition of nursing was revised again in 1972, when New York became the first state to recognize nursing as a distinct and independent health profession.
The Political and Community Organizing (PCO)Department works to promote legislation that will benefit nurses and improve their work environments. Based on a legislative program approved by the Voting Body, staff conduct lobbying and grassroots activities designed to strengthen nurses' visibility and clout in the State Capitol. A Lobby Day is held each spring in Albany, attended by hundreds of RNs and nursing students.
PCO staff provide information, training, and support to members interested in political and legislative action. Legislative District Coordinators (LDCs) serve as liaisons with local legislators and reinforce the importance of nursing as a political force. The Council on Legislation and the NYSNA-PAC Board of Trustees help to define the NYSNA legislative agenda and to support political candidates who can advance these goals.
The NYSNA-PAC is the political action arm of NYSNA. It evaluates candidates for state office, advises the Board of Directors about endorsements, and contributes to the campaigns of those who can advance NYSNA's legislative objectives. The PAC educates members about the political process and encourages them to vote. The NYSNA-PAC is funded by an annual deduction from each member's dues. Members who do not want to give to the PAC have a right to decline the contribution from their dues.
District Nurses Associations
There are 19 separately incorporated constituent district nurses' associations throughout New York State that provide nurses with services and leadership on the local level. NYSNA supports these groups with educational and networking opportunities.

The NYSNA library is the only professionally staffed state nurses' association library in the country. It houses more than 8,000 volumes and 400 journal titles in nursing, medicine, hospital administration, education and labor relations. Library staff is available to assist members seeking information on a wide range of topics related to nursing and health care.
New York Nurse, NYSNA's official magazine, is published 10 times a year and includes current information on nursing issues and labor activities, plus news about the association and its members. The magazine is mailed to all members free of charge. The Journal of the New York State Nurses Association, a peer-reviewed publication, is mailed to members biannually at no charge. It includes research articles and other information significant to the profession and health care.
Membership information is processed, updated, and maintained by membership representatives. They also answer questions related to membership status and benefits and promote the association to nonmembers.

Urban Decay
24/7 Pencil: Double Ended Duo Set 1 set
If you're already a fan of Urban Decay's 24/7 Eye Pencils, this is one little duo you won't want to miss. These are colors that anyone can wear, but they're anything but basic. You get four vibrant, must-have shades in two pencils (including UD's award-winning black), plus a Grindhouse Double Barrel Sharpener. Talk about an amazing value! They've even included one shade that's totally new- Sabbath, a matte navy-blue shade that's exclusive to this set (and destined for cult status, according to the people at UD). When Urban Decay first introduced their original Naked Palette (maybe you've heard of it?), they created a 24/7 Double-Ended Eye Pencil to go with it. Everybody went insane—especially for the Eye Pencil! Ever since then, people have been begging them to bring it back. With their amazing staying power and unmatched color payout, UD's 24/7 Eye Pencils are one of the things they're known for. Creamy and waterproof, this highly saturated formula glides on and stays put no matter what you put it through. (Trust the people at Urban Decay, they've tried it all.) You'll definitely want this set for yourself, but don't forget that it makes a great gift too- so be sure to stock up. It's even packaged in a clear outer box to showcase the four vibrant (and super versatile) shades inside. No wrapping required! Shade Descriptions (Two Double-Ended Eye Pencils):

Earlier this week, six accused Somali pirates went on trial [JURIST report] in a Paris court for taking 30 crew members hostage in 2008 on the ship Le Ponant in the Gulf of Aden. The US government in March handed over [JURIST report] 15 suspected Somali pirates it captured in January to the Republic of Seychelles for prosecution. Italy ordered its first international piracy trial in February against nine Somali pirates, while France began its first international piracy trial [JURIST reports] in November. In October the UN Security Council adopted a resolution encouraging states to criminalize and punish piracy after maritime piracy reached an all-time high [JURIST reports] in April. The UN also donated $9.3 million [JURIST report] in 2010 to fund piracy courts in Seychelles and Kenya, the only two countries that have created such courts.
