• For Prophet and Tsar: Islam and Empire in Russia and Central Asia

Established by Peter the Great, the Holy Synod became an ideological pillar of the regime, binding spiritual authority to temporal in the person of the Tsar in a manner that accorded nicely with emerging Enlightenment political theory in the West. Ultimately, one of Crews' key findings is his rejection of the traditional explanation of Russian historians that imperial arrangements in the administration of its Muslim population were in large measure a reflection of "undergovernment," a simple lack of administrative reach into distant portions of the empire that in turn necessitated limited reliance on native institutions.

• No Pension Tweak for Wharton Staffer -- City Service Doesn't Go Toward County Benefits

Shelby County's retirement board on Tuesday considered passing a rule change that would boost the county pension of an administrative assistant to Memphis Mayor A C Wharton, but the measure didn't pick up enough votes to pass. The measure could still move forward to the full County Commission, despite the negative recommendation, but it's not clear whether this will happen.

• Public Management and the Administrative Conservator: Empirical Support for Larry Terry's Prescriptions

This paper is built on a parsimonious formal theory of public management from the large mass of case study and qualitative literature. In the course of this research, the researchers have developed four specific measures that combine the concepts of management and stability that fit the administrative conservator logic -- two measures of stability, a measure of buffering, and a measure of management strategy. A prime function of management is to preserve the human capital of the organization, this responsibility involves creating the inducements and incentives necessary to generate organizational commitment by others. Both managerial stability and workforce stability are associated with higher levels of public organizational performance, even with controls for other factors that influen...

• Will Government Stifle Hsa Growth?

In April, Rep Charles Rangel, (D-NY) introduced the Taxpayer Assistance and Simplification Act (HR 5719), which proposed to amend the tax code to require substantiation of all HSA-eligible medical expenses by a third-party administrator (TPA). HSA expenditures are presently reported by individuals to the Internal Revenue Service, which can, but is not required to, seek substantiation by audit. The bill would make HSAs subject to the same level of substantiation as Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), an older and more restrictive tax-advantaged health care account. The addition of a TPA would add extra scrutiny of the transactions and their eligibility, but also an additional layer of administrative bureaucracy and, potentially, expense. Why the greater scrutiny? Legislators who support th...

During my term as San Bernardino City 4th Ward Councilman, I was frustrated, virtually daily, with the inability to effect common- sense changes because administrative functions were handled (or mishandled) by politicians. Measure C would change that.

• D.C. Seeks Financial Lift From Commuters ; Would Tax Only City Workers Living in Suburbs

The D.C. Council is poised to take up a change to the city charter that would clear the way to impose a commuter tax on most city government workers - including teachers and principals, public safety personnel and administrative and blue-collar workers - who do not live in the city. The measure could present challenges to several D.C. agencies whose ranks are filled with residents of the city's suburbs.
