美中基金会寻求北美巡演合作伙伴启事:《华夏霓裳_中国五千年服饰文化璀璨之夜》晚会将于2006615日赴美做巡演活动

华 夏霓 裳-中国五千年服饰文化璀璨之夜大型晚会

项目概述

中国是一个服饰大国,在上下五千年的文明古国历史进程中,服饰文化始终追寻和记载着时代前进的轨迹,放射出古老文明而又极具华夏特色的艺术光辉!

中国素有"衣冠王国"之称,服饰的发展有着悠久的历史,各个时期的服饰,在一定程度上反映当时的政治、文化、艺术乃至经济、军事、宗教、民俗等状况。服装文化是一个民族传统文化的重要组成部分。而中国五千年的服饰文化更是璀璨夺目的华夏传统文化的生动写照。1998年,《中国古今服饰法国展演》使在场的法国观众与多国使节们陶醉在美伦美奂的东方文化艺术之中;1999年,《中国文化美国行》中展出的精美服饰在美国引起轰动,让美国人领略了中国传统文化的独特魅力。西方时装设计师纷纷从中国文化中吸取灵感,掀起了中国风的流行。法国国际时装学院副院长鲁道夫·德拉海叶·圣依莱尔,针对中国时装产业情况曾经说过:中国有很多独一无二的东西,这是中国人自己的财富,要取得国际市场的成功,最主要的还是走自己的发展之路。中国人民依靠聪明才智和高超技艺创造出了底蕴丰富的华夏服装文化精髓,并在新世纪以她独具魅力的服饰艺术傲立在世界服饰的舞台上。

本台《华夏霓裳——中国五千年服饰文化璀璨之夜》大型晚会,作为一个高品位的文化集锦,它不仅集中国历代服饰精品于一览,而且汇服饰与歌、舞、乐、诗、赋等艺术形式为一体,把中国源远流长的传统服饰文化和当今中国服饰文化发展的辉煌成就,通过多元的艺术表现形式,将最感性、最直观、最有表现力和感染力的服饰文化艺术呈现给世界各国观众。

本台晚会的审美交汇点是将由年轻、靓丽的“2005中国模特大赛”获奖优秀选手,汇同中国最具实力的国家级歌、舞、乐著名演员,以诗、词、歌、赋、曲、舞紧密结合的艺术形式,共同演绎中国历代服饰,展示五千年的中华文化,使观众在欣赏、品味华夏五千年绚丽夺目的服饰的同时,陶醉在中国独特的民族古典的艺术之中;回味无穷的历代服饰展演像流动的优美艺术画卷,融合沁人心魄的民族古典音乐演奏与辞赋歌唱,令古老的华夏文明的神秘与辉煌、精深与博大再次震撼每个观者的心扉,并及此而传颂、弘扬光大。

   本台晚会既是对中国五千年服装服饰演变史诗般的钩沉,同时,更是一次充满飞骥想象的文化艺术历程。让我们共同重温华夏民族五千年的艺术梦幻。

这台浓缩了中国文化精髓的艺术盛筵,必将为宣传、推广中国(深圳)国际文化产业博览交易会做出她独有的贡献!晚会在深圳文博会初次亮相后,还将在北京、上海、大连、台北、香港、澳门等城市进行演出,并在美中基金会的安排下赴美国芝加哥、纽约、华盛顿、波士顿、费城、洛杉矶、西雅图以及欧洲、拉美、东南亚等各主要城市进行环球巡演。本台晚会将在全球各地的文化艺术舞台上产生震撼性的影响。它将聚焦全球视野,形成强势关注,在国内外造就广泛轰动的宣传效应和产生关联的商务经贸往来与效益。我们相信,赞助企业自身的经营理念、发展战略、价值观念、企业文化等也将由于较长时间的新闻出镜率得到深层展示,这无疑是宣传树立企业品牌形象,推广企业的新品、名品,增强品牌核心竞争力,提高企业家的社会知名度和企业的公众美誉度以及实施事件营销的绝佳时机。

Wednesday Lunch Talk -- The Difference a Legislature Makes: Why Air Pollution Regulations Vary in China & Taiwan

A presentation by Eric Zusman

Wednesday, March 15, 2006
12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
11377 Bunche Hall
UCLA
Los Angeles, CA 90095

Few studies have explored how political institutions outside the industrialized democratic world affect environmental regulations. In this presentation, I compare how China’s National People’s Congress and Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan affected air pollution regulations in the two states seeking to reduce the costs of rapid industrialization. My results suggest that the more access that legislatures provide to environmental interests, the tougher it is to introduce innovative market-driven regulations. My results also indicate that the more accountable legislators are to concerned constituents, the greater the incentives to build synergies between traditional command-control and innovative market-driven regulations.

National Enterprises Build Research Institutes

 

The industrial enterprises under the direct jurisdiction of the China central government have established 476 institutes working on technological innovations, with a working staff of 276,000 people. All these enterprises have their own research institutes at the national level, that 17 central S&T enterprises have been honored with 5 second prizes of the National S&T Progress Award and 108 awards at the provincial level in 2005. The enterprises have worked out 20 international standards, 97 national standards, and 127 industrial standards. Having realized a leap-forward development in designing super large hydro generators, through technology import, digesting, and innovation, Harbin Power and East Power successfully won the design contracts of hydro generators for the right bank of the Three Gorge project, bidding with overseas power generator giants. China Space Group has found solutions to numerous internationally acknowledged technical difficulties, through proprietary innovations and system integration of key links, and achieved successful launch and return of the Shenzhou 6 capsule. The event is deemed by HU Jingtao, Chinese President, the nation’s most influential and strategically important S&T activity in the year, as it establishes China’s strategic position in the high tech world. There are seven major activities that China will push forward in 2006, including proprietary innovation capacity building, overall quality raising, and sustainable development capacity building geared to national industrial enterprises.

美国增加对华出口才是出路

OPINION: American Higher Education Needs Reform, Too (EUGENE W. HICKOK)

American education is in trouble. Just about anyone and everyone willing to look at the facts has concluded that we need to do some serious work if this nation is going to remain competitive. Study after study has shown that American schoolchildren are falling behind those in other countries. We are seriously deficient in the production of scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and technicians. Too many of our students lack proficiency in reading and mathematics. The achievement gap between minority and low-income students and their white peers remains an embarrassment, even though some progress has been made in recent years. All of this in the wealthiest nation on earth. But the troubles afflicting American education run deeper than the nation's public schools. Higher education is not immune.

We have a system (if we can call it that) where students get a high-school diploma that really doesn't tell us much about what sort of education they received, complete a few standardized tests, and enroll in an institution that will take them. They then take courses they are more or less prepared to take, taught by faculty members who know what they themselves know but almost nothing about what their students know.

After each college course, students are graded and proceed to the next course, which may or may not have any relationship to what they have completed.  And the process continues until students run out of money or time, or complete their degrees.  There is little that is coordinated or comprehensive about it. Majors are formed around disciplines. Degrees are formed around hours and credits earned. Courses are available when faculty members want to teach them; often what faculty members want to teach is not what students need to take.

America has always been able to boast about its higher-education offerings. Its rich and diverse mixture of institutions has produced generations of men and women capable of being informed citizens, leaders in business, science, industry, and government, and they have contributed to an economy that remains vibrant and globally competitive even during the most difficult of times. But problems loom, and higher education cannot be exempt from the talk of reform.

Perhaps the most obvious problem for colleges is price. Growth in tuition continues to outpace inflation. At the same time, studies tell us that it is almost impossible to draw a relationship between the cost of providing a higher education and the price to charge for it. The quality and character of undergraduate education remain subject to criticism: Faculty members at the most prestigious institutions regard undergraduate teaching as a bother and usually aren't rewarded for it; the curricula offered by many institutions lack the breadth and depth once expected from a good college or university. At many institutions, what passes for social-science or humanities requirements are laughable; at most, schools of education are woefully not up to the task of preparing our teachers for the challenges they will confront in the classroom.

Access to college is not the main problem. Success is. Four-year graduation for a baccalaureate degree is almost a thing of the past (34 percent), and the six-year rate isn't all that much better (56 percent). The retention rate for low-income and minority students at many institutions is much lower than for their peers; they get into college but they don't complete their education. Remedial and developmental courses for students entering college who lack the education and skills needed for college-level work continue to climb.

Yet most of higher education continues to resist any serious accountability. With the cry of "academic freedom," most institutions remain governed by the guardians of the academy, faculty members who seem intent on maintaining a management system that is designed to respond to their own concerns rather than those of students, tuition payers, or taxpayers.

What is needed to address the range of issues that confront our schools and colleges is fundamentally new thinking about the way America goes to school. The model in place today is pretty much the model in place a century ago. It might have worked for a long time. (That is debatable.) But it is doubtful that it will measure up to the challenges of the 21st century. The issue is how education is organized, governed, financed, and held accountable in this country.

The good news is that America is well situated to promote dramatic transformation in education. We know better than ever the nature of the problems we confront, and we are developing a sense of urgency about the need to confront them. What we need now is bold thinking, followed by courageous leadership.

The traditional model breaks education into elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, colleges, and so on. But today and increasingly in the future, those distinctions will blur. Revolutions in technology are beginning to challenge education's traditional structures and institutions. We do truly live in a digital age, yet we continue to rely upon an agricultural calendar and an industrial model whereby students proceed from one stage to the next as though they are on an assembly line. Moreover, our traditional model reflects an outdated understanding of how students learn. We now know that students learn in a variety of ways and settings, progress at different paces, and respond to instruction in different ways.

Reforms like the federal No Child Left Behind law should make it easier to marry elementary and secondary education to higher education by setting standards for what high-school students need to know to prepare for college. But while some states are seeking to promote K-16 cooperation, too often they don't go far enough. In far too many places, high school is either a place to bide one's time until college or an extension of middle school, rather than a preparation for adulthood. Advanced students get bored and tune out intellectually. Others never really acquire the education high school once promised.

Students should be able to move beyond secondary education whenever they are ready. And they should not go on to higher education until they are. Faculty members should be able to move among the sectors as well. The traditional teacher-certification models are out of date and inadequate. It is a crime, for example, that college professors, who have terminal degrees in their disciplines, are not considered certified to teach in most public schools. We are failing to tap a potentially rich pool of talent. Even worse, too many certified teachers aren't really qualified to teach, lacking adequate knowledge of their disciplines.

It is time to try new and different approaches to teacher preparation and instruction, to tear down the bureaucratic licensing systems, to encourage the development of a profession rooted in academic disciplines and the practical application of those disciplines, and to cultivate a teaching profession that transcends traditional sector and institutional boundaries. The academy and the public school need to spend more time together.  Of course, that has implications for all of education. It will force us to ask questions that we haven't even begun to consider and to contemplate ways of doing business that we haven't begun to imagine. That is the point. Education is supposed to be about ideas. We need new ones.

The trouble with education in America is that it is all about schooling, not education. It has always been about attending a place for a time and then moving to a different place for a time. It has always been about young people responding to demands imposed by a system and by men and women who went through the same system and by a society that assumes that's the way it will always be. But education and schooling are not the same thing. Education begins when a child is born (if not before!) and goes on long after the last class is finished, the last examination passed, the last degree earned. It has to do with the intellectual, spiritual, moral, and emotional development of men and women, and the acquisition of the knowledge and skills necessary for success in life. America's way of providing an education has been to provide schooling.

Changing how we finance, govern, provide a curriculum for, and assess education will require the national government to invest in research and development of new approaches to teaching and learning, new technologies, and new designs for providing education. It will require creating incentives for policy leaders to put aside their traditional ways of thinking and create alternatives to the status quo. It will require investing in the intellectual capital of the country rather than the schooling infrastructure that houses that capital; financing should focus on the needs and promise of students rather than the needs and demands of systems and institutions.

It will require the entrepreneurship of the private sector, the venture capital of the private sector, and the energy and ideas of that sector that depends so much upon the supply of educated citizens. What is needed, indeed, is educational entrepreneurship. It is unreasonable to expect government, at any level, to introduce fundamental change in such a fundamental enterprise. It takes fresh ideas and fresh faces — qualities government seldom possesses. It takes a willingness to run risks, to which government is averse.  And it will require true leadership from those in the schools and colleges who must help fashion the next generation of American education.

Today's Most Unpopular Jobs - Nurse No.1 (Laura Morsch)

 

Is there a severe labor shortage looming for the United States? It depends whom you ask. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects a labor force of 162.3 million people by 2012. At the same time, the BLS predicts that the 2012 economy will require 165.3 million jobs to be filled.  Certain jobs will experience a shortage of qualified workers. Here are five that are expected to be hit particularly hard:

 

1. Registered Nurse

 

The nursing shortage has been fairly well-publicized. According to a report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human services, there was a shortage of 110,000 RNs in 2000, or about 6 percent of the national demand. The shortage is expected to grow to 29 percent by 2020.

 

What's causing this dramatic shortage? For one thing, the report states there will be an 18 percent increase in the population by 2012. Plus, the aging of the baby boomers will result in a larger proportion of elderly people. To make matters worse, after 2011 the number of nurses leaving the profession is expected to exceed the number entering it.

 

Nursing salaries are increasing to help boost interest. The starting salary for registered nurses was nearly $39,000 in an April 2005 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. According to the BLS, median annual salaries were $53,640 in November 2004.

 

2. Machinist

 

In Deloitte's 2005 Skills Gap Report, 90 percent of respondents indicated a moderate to severe shortage of qualified skills production employees like machinists, who use machine tools, such as lathes, machining centers and milling machines to produce precision metal parts.  According to the Princeton Review, the average starting salary for a machinist is $22,500. The median salary for machinists is just over $34,000, according to the BLS.

 

3. Librarian

 

Studies have shown that librarians are expected to exit the profession en masse in coming years. The American Library Association Web site quotes statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau indicating that more than one-quarter of all librarians will reach the age of 65 by 2009. A study published in the Library Journal found that 40 percent of library directors would retire by that same year. Graduates of library programs in 2004 reported an average starting salary of more than $39,000, an increase of nearly 3 percent over the previous year. The median salary for librarians is nearly $47,000, according to the BLS.

 

4. Truck Driver

 

Getting those eBay packages delivered might take longer by 2014. A report prepared for the American Trucking Associations by Global Insight, Inc. warns there is already a shortage of about 20,000 long-haul heavy-duty truck drivers. By 2014, the deficit is expected to reach 111,000.  The report blames slipping wages for the shortage. Trucking wages fell sharply with the onset of the recession in 2000 and have yet to recover. According to the BLS, the median salary for heavy or tractor-trailer truck drivers is $33,870.

 

5. Pharmacist

 

What, no refills? Pharmacists should have no trouble finding a job in coming years. A recent report from the Pharmacy Manpower Project predicted there will be a shortage of 157,000 pharmacists by 2020. Already, the American Hospital Association reports a 7.4 percent vacancy rate for pharmacists.  The shortage can be partially attributed to the aging population and the fact that more drugs are being manufactured and advertised to the public. In fact, the number of prescriptions has increased from 2 billion to 3.2 billion in the last 10 years. That problem is expected to worsen with the new Medicare prescription drug program that began Jan. 1, pharmacy officials told CNN in November. To help cope, universities are opening new pharmacy programs and expanding existing ones. The high pay currently offered by pharmacist employers can't hurt, either. The BLS reports the median salary for pharmacists is over $87,000.

中国经济增长存体制性障碍

 

吴敬琏:经济增长方式待转变

 

 大陆知名经济学家吴敬琏认为,“十一五”规划的核心在于实现经济增长方式的转变,以转变促成经济效益的提高,促成经济稳定、持续、较快的发展。

 吴敬琏说,转变经济增长方式,从改革开放以来就摆在经济工作的议题上。中国制定九五计划时就明确规定要实现两个根本转变,一个就是增长方式从粗放到集约的转变,另外一个根本转变是经济体制从计划经济到市场经济的转变。

 但由于体制的障碍,一直未能转变。吴敬琏认为,中国经济增长方式难以转变的关键,在于市场机制在资源配置中的基础性作用没有得到很好的发挥。吴敬琏说,转变的体制性障碍有四方面的因素:

 第一,各级政府仍然保持着过大的资源配置权力。

 第二,政绩。GDP的增长率变成首要的考虑。

 第三,财政收入。要求产值的最大增长。

 第四,要素价格、资源价格扭曲。

 他认为,明确了实现增长方式转变的体制性障碍,改革的目标也就明确了,改革也才具有明确的针对性。

 

赵忠贤:企业是技术创新主体

 

 中科院院士赵忠贤认为,把建设创新型国家作为国策,与科学技术是第一生产力的理念,与科教兴国、人才强国战略是一脉相承的,它与中国在社会经济发展不同阶段的目标是相符合的。

 赵忠贤说,中国走自主创新之路必须符合中国的背景和需求,并以企业作为技术创新的主体。虽然中国企业目前在技术创新方面相对比较弱,但是已经具备了一定的基础,而且也有好的典型。通过产学研三结合,和其他配套政策落实,有助于产业化水平和企业的竞争能力的提高。赵忠贤提出三项建议:

 一是营造创新的良好环境。环境有助于创新思想的出现,和创新人才的成长,要求环境是宽松的、学术是民主的,要鼓励成功,也要允许失败。

 二是提高资源的使用效率。虽然中央政府的投入从总量上每年都在提高,但是跟国际上发达国家比较起来,总的投入还是比较少的。因此要整合有效的资源,在资源分配各个方面要保证更好地提高效率。

 三,在人才的培养和引进方面,我们要培育一个好的学风,形成一个良好的学术传统,这才有助于人才的成长和人才的脱颖而出。

 

林毅夫:转移农村劳动力是关键

 

 北京大学教授林毅夫说,要增加农民的收入,最重要的是转移农村劳动力。

 他说,社会主义新农村的内容比过去的“三农”政策有所扩大,中央政府承诺要增加对农村、农业、农民“三农”政策的投入。

 一是去年中央政府对农村、农民、农业总共投入是2975亿人民币,今年要增加420亿人民币,增加到3395亿人民币。

 二是减免农业税以后,政府每年要增加对农村的投入是1300亿人民币,解决农村教育和乡镇政府运行的问题。

 三,温家宝总理表示要下大决心转变政府在公共基础设施投入上的方向,增加对农村公共基础设施的投入。

 

邱晓华:实施稳健宏观经济政策

 

 国家统计局常务副局长邱晓华说,这两年中国官方实行稳健的财政政策,适当减少了长期国债的发行量,适当控制了财政赤字的数额,取得了明显的成绩。就像这次财政部给“两会”提供的材料里所说,去年中国的财政赤字剩下2080亿元,比预期要小。 在新的一年里,中国将继续实施“双稳健”的宏观经济政策。在工作重点上强调“四个着力”,就是要着力加快改革开放,着力自主创新,着力调整经济结构和经济增长方式的转变,以及着力提高经济运行的质量和效益。  

 邱晓华说,今年中国经济面临的外部环境总体有利。正如国际货币基金组织所预测的那样,今年整个世界经济增长还有可能继续维持去年4.3%这一比较温和又是比较快的增长。世界贸易的增长率也会在去年7%水平上有所加快,能够达到7.4%。与此同时,经过宏观调控及这些年的努力工作,中国经济成长中的内部环境处在一个良好的状态,继续支撑经济平稳较快增长的基础很稳健。他说,新的一年里,投资、出口、消费三大需求仍将保持稳健的增长。与此同时,随着“十一五”规划的实施,一些新的增长点又在形成。无论是社会主义新农村建设,还是加快自主创新、结构调整以及继续推进改革开放,都会为中国经济注入新的活力和动力。所以,2006年中国经济仍将继续保持平稳较快地增长。

  一、有美国公民身份才能申请父母来美永久居留,合法的永久居民无法申请。

    “合法移民”是指获得在美国永久生活和工作权利的外籍人。要申请父母来美成为“合法移民”,过程有两步骤。第一步,须由联邦公民身份与移民署(USCIS)批准你为父母永久居留所作的申请。第二步,若你的父母身在美国境外,他们会被通知前往他们所在地的美国领事馆完成移民签证手续。若你父母合法地到达美国境内,他们可以填I485表格申请调整身份。

    二、有关的法律规定

  规范向美国移民行为的法律是“移民和国籍法”。有关父母的移民签证部分,是那法律的第201节和204节。有关申请移民签证的特殊资格规定,是“联邦规章(CFR”8204.1204.2245等节款。

    三、申请父母来美者的资格
