Employment also exists in the public, non-profit and household sectors.
In the United States, the "standard" employment contract is considered to be at-will meaning that the employer and employee are both free to terminate the employment at any time and for any cause, or for no cause at all.

World gives Russia an unfair rap
Thu, 14 Aug 2008 15:10:00 -0500
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is an intelligent woman. So how can she possibly want to tell the world that Russia's response to the Georgian attack on South Ossetia resembled the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. The comparisons should be the reverse. The Russian willingness to go to the aid of a small region under brutal attack contrasts greatly with the empty Western rhetoric back in the days when Czechoslovakia or other regions were under Moscow attack. And the knee-jerk anti-Russian reactions of the media and other commentators too biased or lazy to question the official U.S. version of events parallels the Russian media's knee-jerk acceptance of Moscow's distorted...

Israel's fundamentalist Jews are multiplying
Thu, 14 Aug 2008 15:11:00 -0500
CHICAGO — Time is not on the side of peacemakers in the Middle East. Even relentless optimists are giving up. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has become increasingly overshadowed and orchestrated on both sides by extreme and uncompromising religious groups that view their political mandate as holy and sacred. This is hindering any peaceful resolution in the short run and will prove increasingly prohibitive to a political settlement in the long run. More than ever, peace is an unattainable mirage.

Moscow called West's bluff
Thu, 14 Aug 2008 15:12:00 -0500
Forty years ago this week, the night sky above Prague began to rumble with the sound of transport aircraft. On distant frontiers, tanks lurched forward. The invasion of Czechoslovakia had begun. Today, there are Russian tank columns on Georgian roads. Again, a small country lies prostrate before the military power of the Kremlin. Poland, in turn, is informed by a Russian general that by agreeing to station American missiles, it has made itself a nuclear target — perhaps no more than a brutal statement of the obvious.

New 'Tang' Dynasty for rapidly rising China?
Thu, 14 Aug 2008 15:13:00 -0500
PRAGUE — On Aug. 8 the world watched with awe the amazing spectacle of the Olympics opening ceremony in Beijing. We saw the electronic unrolling of Chinese scrolls replete with great historic symbols and were mesmerized by dancers creating "harmony," using their bodies as ink brushes. Two thousand eight martial arts students performed millenniums-old moves with mechanical precision, while the flying celestials and the galloping torchbearer created a sense of heavenly abode on Earth. There was another time when China dazzled the world: the Tang Dynasty (618-907), often thought of as China's golden age. Visitors came from all over the world and were dazzled by the wealth, beauty and power... Read the full story
Prevention of suicides
Thu, 14 Aug 2008 15:14:00 -0500
The Diet in 2006 enacted a basic law to help prevent suicides. And in 2007 the Cabinet adopted the goal of reducing the number of suicides per 100,000 people by 20 percent by 2016 from the level of 2005. More than 30,000 people annually have taken their lives for the last 10 consecutive years. This is about 90 suicides a day. Japan's suicide rate is less than Russia's but the highest among developed countries. It is more than twice that of the United States and more than three times that of Britain. Read the full story
ODA and bribery
Thu, 14 Aug 2008 15:15:00 -0500
The special investigation squad of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office has arrested a former president of Pacific Consultants International, a Tokyo-based consultancy for overseas construction projects, and three others on suspicion of bribery in connection with a project in Vietnam financed by the Japanese government's official development assistance (ODA). This case, however, may represent only the tip of an iceberg. Suspicions have been raised over collusive ties between Japanese companies and the politicians and officials of countries that receive ODA for infrastructure construction. Read the full story
