Title I--improving the academic achievement of the disadvantaged; Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)--assistance to states for the education of children with disabilities. Final regulations

The Secretary amends the regulations governing programs administered under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) (referred to in these regulations as the Title I program) and the regulations governing programs under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) (referred to in these regulations as the IDEA program). These regulations provide States with additional flexibility regarding State, local educational agency (LEA), and school accountability for the achievement of a small group of students with disabilities whose progress is such that, even after receiving appropriate instruction, including special education and related services designed to address the students' individual needs, the students' individualized education program (IEP) teams (IEP Teams) are reasonably certain that the students will not achieve grade-level proficiency within the year covered by the students' IEPs.     

Exemption of chemical mixtures. Final rule

On December 15, 2004, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) published a Final Rule corrected January 4, 2005) that implemented new regulations concerning chemical mixtures that contain any of the 27 listed chemicals. The Final Rule added a new provision not previously raised by DEA in any proposed rulemaking. This newly introduced provision exempted domestic and import transactions in chemical mixtures that are regulated solely due to the presence of the List II solvent chemicals acetone, ethyl ether, 2-butanone, or toluene from the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) recordkeeping and reporting requirements. Because this exemption was not previously proposed in any rulemaking, DEA implemented this exemption on an interim basis and requested public comment on this exemption provision. Based upon a review of all comments, DEA is finalizing this exemption. As such, domestic and import transactions in chemical mixtures containing the List II chemicals acetone, ethyl ether, 2-butanone, and toluene shall be exempt from CSA chemical recordkeeping and reporting requirements.     

刑事诉讼的法理和政治基础

本文从法治的核心内容出发,论述了证据法对诉讼制度的重要意义以及证据是法治的基石的原理.作者认为,证据法具有普适性,证据法的大部分内容在人类所有的诉讼程序中都是相同的,只有极其微小的例外.相比之下,刑事诉讼法具有地方性,体现了不同的制度安排和设想.诉讼法是本土化的,属于地方性知识;像实体法一样,它反映了时间空间的特殊性.刑事程序不能与其周围因素隔绝开来而孤立地加以看待,而要分析政府的性质、政府与民众的适当关系以及个人利益的性质等.因此,研究美国刑事诉讼法,不能仅仅考察成文法律和案例,还要深入了解美国的历史、文化、经济以及其他影响因素.要理解美国刑事司法制度的实际运作,需要深入研究其法理和政治问题,包括:书本上的法律与实践中的法律之间的差别;程序法与实体法之间紧密的相互关系,特别是事实上程序法是实体法的载体,而非我们习惯上所认为的相反的情况;一般的历史,特别是种族关系和种族歧视问题;经济因素.     

俄罗斯亚洲部分燃料能源综合体的发展

俄罗斯亚洲部分——乌拉尔山以东领土的燃料能源综合体是俄国家经济结构的重要组成部分。在全球能源转型的背景下,需要从能源生产和出口状况的角度,以及遵循ESG(环境、可持续性、治理)范式,看待和考虑俄罗斯亚洲部分燃料能源综合体的发展,以确保这一广大地区经济社会的可持续发展。在解决俄罗斯东部科学与生产服务发展、机器制造专业化,以及燃料和能源的深加工等问题上的滞后,明显降低了经济社会可持续发展和解决减少碳排放问题的机会。ESG范式是现阶段解决经济社会发展问题的方法之一。解决上述问题的关键在于国家调整管理东部巨大能源潜力开发利用的程序与方法。目前中国和亚太地区市场对俄罗斯初级能源产品需求的不断增长不应被视为长期稳定的趋势,并在制定和实施长期结构性决策时完全依赖于此。为了提高俄罗斯亚洲部分燃料能源综合体及整体经济的可持续性,应该考虑和发展基于不同行业和地区相互联系及合作的项目。     

加拿大的家庭法改革

六十年代中期,安大略法律改革委员会(简称“委员会”)发起了一项在安大略省立法范围内开展有关家庭法研究的计划.委员会指定本文作者担任被称为“家庭法研究项目”(简称“研究项目”)的该计划的主任. 在起草研究项目报告时,人们就对世界各地的婚姻财产法改革深感兴趣,并且早在研究项目开始前十年左右,对基本法律重新评估的程度也已非同寻常.这些改革和研究的动力,部分地是来自二十外代的期堪的纳维亚国家。研究项目在开始后的三、四年间,向委员会提交了十二卷研究和建议报告.然后,委     

中印能和平崛起吗?

中印两国的崛起是21世纪初的国际体系中很引人注意的现象。中国和印度不仅在亚洲竞争权力和影响力,两国也被一个特别有争议的边界争端所束缚。就中印关系的前景而言,经济上的相互依存未必足以抵消中印对抗冲突的根源,但两国间的冲突与战争也并非不可避免。
