进城务工人员在二元劳动力市场中的地位与工会的维权思路

在我国社会双重转型时期,劳动力资源配置方面呈现两大特征:一是农村人口城镇化速度加快;二是在城镇形成二元劳动力市场。大量进城务工人员滞留在下层的“次属劳动力市场”,成为“新型工资劳动者”,其合法权益不断受到严重侵犯。其后果是,在全社会劳动力职业结构趋于高级化的同时,城镇底层劳动力群体扩张并构成“沉淀”的劳动力供给群。为促进建立和谐、稳定的劳动关系,工会要站在促进城乡整体协调发展、维护职工长远利益的高度积极推动政府加快配套改革,稳步有序地消除进城务工人员融入城镇、公平就业竞争的制度性制约因素。     

论（西方）政府职能过程的重心转移——兼论对深化我国行政改革的有益启示

决策和执行是政府职能过程中的两个基本程序环节,他们关系的调整承载着政府体制自身政治、行政功能矛盾压力的缓解作用以及社会发展对政府公共管理能力诉求的释放功能.伴随着新公共管理运动的兴起,西方政府职能过程的重心正在从执行环节向决策环节转移.政府正在从 "划桨人"向"掌舵者"的角色发生转变.在我国,从十六大报告中所提出的"按照决策、执行、监督相协调的要求,继续推进政府机构改革"的思想来看,对于职能过程的思考和重心环节的适度调整也会为我国行政改革起到了积极的指导作用和具有现实意义.     

TRICARE; sub-acute care program; uniform skilled nursing facility benefit; home health care benefit; adopting Medicare payment methods for skilled nursing facilities and home health care providers. Final rule

This rule partially implements the TRICARE "sub-acute and long-term care program reform" enacted by Congress in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002, specifically: Establishment of "an effective, efficient, and integrated sub-acute care benefits program," with skilled nursing facility (SNF) and home health care benefits modeled after those of the Medicare program; adoption of Medicare payment methods for skilled nursing facility, home health care, and certain other institutional health care providers; adoption of Medicare rules on balance billing of beneficiaries, prohibiting it by institutional providers and limiting it by non-institutional providers; and change in the statutory exclusion of coverage for custodial and domiciliary care.     

Federal employees health benefits program; revision of contract cost principles and procedures, and miscellaneous changes. Final rule

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a final regulation amending the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Acquisition Regulation (FEHBAR). This regulation provides additional contract cost principles and procedures for FEHB Program experience-rated contracts and is intended to clarify our requirements and enhance our oversight of FEHB carriers.     

TRICARE; elimination of non-availability statement and referral authorization requirements and elimination of specialized treatment services program. Final rule

This rule implements Section 735 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002 (NDAA-02) (Pub. L. 107-107). It also implements Section 728 of the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (NDAA-01) (Pub. L. 106-398). Section 735 of NDAA-02 eliminates the requirement for TRICARE Standard beneficiaries who live within a 40-mile radius of a military medical treatment facility (MTF) to obtain a nonavailability statement (NAS) or preauthorization from an MTF before receiving inpatient care (other than mental health services) or maternity care from a civilian provider in order that TRICARE will cost-share for such services. Section 735 of NDAA-02, however, authorizes the Department of Defense to make exceptions to the elimination of the requirement for a NAS through the exercise of a waiver process under certain specified conditions. This section also eliminates the NAS requirement for specialized treatment services (STSs) for TRICARE Standard beneficiaries who live outside the 200-mile radius of a designated STS facility. This rule portrays the Department's decision to eliminate the STS program entirely. Finally, Section 728 of NDAA-01 requires that prior authorization before referral to a specialty care provider that is part of the contractor network be eliminated under any new TRICARE contract.     

Fair credit reporting medical information regulations. Final rules

The OCC, Board, FDIC, OTS, and NCUA (Agencies) are publishing final rules to implement section 411 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACT Act). The final rules create exceptions to the statute's general prohibition on creditors obtaining or using medical information pertaining to a consumer in connection with any determination of the consumer's eligibility, or continued eligibility, for credit for all creditors. The exceptions permit creditors to obtain or use medical information in connection with credit eligibility determinations where necessary and appropriate for legitimate purposes, consistent with the Congressional intent to restrict the use of medical information for inappropriate purposes. The final rules also create limited exceptions to permit affiliates to share medical information with each other without becoming consumer reporting agencies. The final rules are substantially similar to the rules adopted by the Agencies on an interim final basis in June 2005.     

“长征”、“万里长征”、“二万五千里长征”的由来

许多史著都把1934年10月中央红军撤离中央苏区称为"长征开始"或"开始长征",甚至称"二万五千里长征",这种提法既不符合史实,也易造成误解.本文论述了红军是何时开始使用"长征"、"万里长征"、"二万五千里长征"概念的.
