The state is bringing a team to Lawrence County to help workers from the International Paper plant which is closing next year.
State Speaker of the House Mike Hubbard spoke on the immediate needs of the affected employees.
The governor's rapid response team will visit the plant next week. They will work to help the employees find new jobs and get unemployment benefits and worker training.
Hubbard and State Rep. Ken Johnson were at the site of the Jack Daniel's cooperage, which is expected to open early next year eventually providing 200 jobs.
Meanwhile, 1,100 IP workers will lose their jobs, with layoffs expected to start before the end of the year.
Johnson said many of the workers have been at the paper mill so long and are so used to doing their current jobs, that some will need counseling and education as they prepare for the future.
"You may have people who have been employed out there such a long time that a high school education was not required," he said. "And now we may need to help them with their GED or we may need to help them with further training.
"That's just part of what they'll do. There'll even be credit counseling made available to some who will need that."

text: content August 10, 2007 Printer Friendly In this issue Life Extension Update Exclusive Better utilization of preventive services could save over 100,000 US lives per year Health Concern Influenza Featured Products Lactoferrin Immune Protect with Paractin® Life Extension Life Extension Pharmacy Life Extension Update Exclusive Better utilization of preventive services could save over 100,000 US lives per year A study published by the Partnership for Prevention, funded in part by the US Centers for Disease Control, concluded that increasing the use of only five preventive services could save the lives of more than 100,000 Americans per year. Utilization of these services by more citizens would also increase the value of the dollars spent by the US on health care services by providing greater value in terms of a reduction of illness and premature death. Preventive services evaluated in the report were initiated or provided by physicians, rather than measures that individuals decide to practice in their personal lives to prevent disease, such as eating a healthier diet. The most outstanding preventive service identified by the authors of the study was discussion of the prophylactic use of aspirin for older men and women. It was determined that increasing the use of daily aspirin from the current 50 percent to 90 percent of eligible adults could save 45,000 lives per year. If the percentage of smokers who receive professional services helping them to quit their habit was increased from the current 28 percent to 90 percent, another 42,000 lives could be saved. Timely colorectal cancer screening by 90 percent of adults aged 50 and older rather than the current 50 percent who are up to date would save an estimated 14,000 American lives. Increasing the utilization of breast cancer screening from 67 percent of women aged 40 and older who have been screened in the past two years to 90 percent would save 3,700 lives. Twelve thousand lives per year could be saved if the percentage of adults age 50 and up who were vaccinated for influenza was increased from 37 to 90 percent. In addition to these five lifesaving measures, 30,000 cases of pelvic inflammatory disease could be prevented yearly if screening for Chlamydia were increased from 40 to 90 percent of young sexually active women. Other potentially underutilized preventive services considered in the study were screening for alcoholism, hypertension, visual acuity, cervical cancer, cholesterol, hearing, osteoporosis, obesity, depression, and diabetes; counseling on diet and childhood injury prevention; childhood immunizations, a tetanus-diphtheria booster every 10 years for adults, and discussion with women of calcium and folic acid supplementation. "A lot of Americans are not getting live-saving preventive services, particularly racial and ethnic minorities. As a result, too many people are dying prematurely or living with diseases that could have been prevented," stated Eduardo Sanchez, MD, MPH, who is the Chairman of the National Commission on Prevention Priorities, convened by Partnership for Prevention to guide the study. "The bottom line is that we need to strengthen the U.S. health system by investing more in preventing disease," Partnership for Prevention President John M. Clymer concluded. "This new report makes it clear that following a few preventive steps may end up saving your life." Health Concern Influenza Since the early 1970s, researchers estimate that influenza has caused more than 40,000 deaths in the United States every year (Dushoff J et al 2006). It is estimated that flu outbreaks cost about $12 billion annually in the United States (Kasper DL et al 2004). The following doses are higher than the usual recommended doses for these supplements. These higher levels should not be taken constantly, or as a general prophylaxis. They should be taken only to ward off flu symptoms. This program should be followed for only a few days. At the first sign of flu symptoms, consider taking: Cimetidine—800 to 1000 mg/day Pure Gar brand garlic—9000 mg once or twice a day Kyolic aged garlic extract—3600 mg/day DHEA—200 to 400 mg in the morning Lactoferrin—1200 mg/day Zinc—Two 24 mg lozenges every 2 hours while awake. This is a very high dosage of zinc and is toxic if taken for long periods. Melatonin—10 to 50 mg at bedtime Vitamin C—6000 mg/day (1000 mg every hour for the first 6 hours), then 3000 mg/day (1000 mg several hours apart). Vitamin E—400 international units (IU) daily Green tea—725 mg/day. A decaffeinated form is available for people who are sensitive to caffeine. Selenium—200 micrograms (mcg) daily Elderberry extract—Take lozenges as needed. http://www.lef.org/protocols/infections/influenza_01.htm Featured Products Lactoferrin A minor fraction of whey, lactoferrin appears to have a wide variety of uses in biological systems and is considered a first line immune defense in the human body. Though a natural component of cow's and human mother's milk, lactoferrin is found throughout the human body. Published studies that have examined the use of lactoferrin as a supplement and its beneficial effects on immunity have been quite promising. First, lactoferrin helps to maintain a proper level of "good" bacteria in the intestinal tract, while controlling the number of "bad" bacteria. http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00513.html Immune Protect with Paractin® Only Immune Protect with Paractin® contains both beta-glucans and Paractin® to help boost immunity and fight inflammation. Immune Protect with Paractin® also provides 250 milligrams of a standardized extract of ascorbic acid derived from the most potent source of natural vitamin C: the camu camu berry. The fruit of the camu camu has the highest recorded amount of natural vitamin C--over 30 times that of an orange. http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00955.html Life Extension Pharmacy Life Extension Pharmacy™ is the first to offer an integrative approach to the safe and effective use of both prescription medications and dietary supplements.

Best-of-Five series to advance to the National League Championship Series.
The Pirates won their 2013 season series against the Cardinals 10-9. This is the first ever post-season meeting between the Pirates and Cardinals.
The St. Louis Cardinals captured their first division title since 2009, finishing with a league-best 97-65 mark.
The Cardinals are making their third straight appearance in the Division Series, two years ago they beat the Philadelphia Phillies and last season the Washington Nationals, both times in five games.
The strength of the Cardinals offence is their balanced attack, Carlos Beltran led the team with 24 home runs and Matt Holliday was right behind him swatting 22.
As far as run production is concerned, Beltran, Holliday, Allen Craig and Yadier Molina all topped the 80 RBI mark.
Adam Wainwright with 19 wins and Lance Lynn with 15, lead the pitching staff into the series coming off strong regular season performances.
Wainwright has also been a strong post-season performer with the Cardinals having been used both as a starter and a closer during his time with the team.
Contrasting all of the playoff experience of the Cardinals are the Pirates who last made the post-season in 1992, before the addition of the division series round.
While they have other players that can do damage offensively, Andrew McCutchen is the driving force behind the Pirates attack.
In 157 games this season he finished with a .317 average 21 home runs, 84 RBI, 27 stolen bases, a .404 on-base percentage and .508 slugging percentage and is in the mix to be named the National League's most valuable player.
Third baseman Pedro Alvarez will also be expected to supply some power as he tied for the NL lead with 36 home runs and drove in 100 RBI, but was only able to muster a .233 average.
Francisco Liriano is the ace of the pitching staff and posted a 16-8 record and 3.02 ERA, but he was forced into duty during the Wild Card game and will only be a factor towards the end of the series.
The Braves won their 2013 season series against the Dodgers 5-2. These two teams have met on just one prior occasion in their entire history (including the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Boston and Milwaukee Braves), with the Braves winning the 1996 NLDS 3-0.
The Atlanta Braves are making their first division series appearance since 2010, when they were eliminated in four games by the San Francisco Giants.
Five Braves hitters topped the 20 home run mark this season led by Justin Upton with 27, Freddie Freeman, Dan Uggla, Evan Gattis and Brian McCann also reached the plateau.
Jason Heyward played in 104 games this season as he dealt with some injuries but is now back in the lineup, hitting out of the leadoff position where he supplies power.
He has also been a threat to get on base with a slash line of .322/.403/.551 since topping the order.
Kris Medlen is the leader of the Braves' pitching staff and posted a 15-12 record and 3.11 ERA.
A strong bullpen also helped the Braves nail down wins, anchored by Craig Kimbrel who pinned down 50 of his 54 save opportunities with a stellar 1.21 ERA.
The Dodgers on the other hand not only have a staff ace in Clayton Kershaw, but one of the best pitchers in the game.
Kershaw went 16-9 during the regular season with a 1.83 ERA and was backed up by Zack Greinke who added a 15-4 record and 2.63 ERA to the Dodgers cause.
All eyes will also be on young superstar Yasiel Puig who will be making his playoff debut coming off a season where he hit 19 homers and had 42 RBIs in 104 games.
The Dodgers will have to overcome losing Matt Kemp and having to play with an injured Andre Ethier, two players that were key to their success this season.
Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis threw out the highest percentage of would-be base-stealers out of backstops that played a minimum of 75 games, helping his team control the running game.
Dodger closer Kenley Jansen has also been great since taking over the job from a struggling Brandon League. He converted 28 saves in 32 chances.

SOURCE Lanny's Alta Cocina Mexicana
FORT WORTH, Texas, June 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Chef, entrepreneur, and Fort Worth native Lanny P. Lancarte II will serve Lanny's Alta Cocina Mexicana (LACM) in-restaurant guests with a flourish during the last days of June, 2014, as the restaurant celebrates its 9th anniversary before closing to begin transforming the 3405 West 7th Street space into a new, casual cafe and carry out concept, Righteous Foods, to open in early August.
Through Saturday, June 28, Lanny's will be open for lunch Tuesday through Friday from 11:30 – 2:00; dinner Tuesday through Saturday from 5:30 until 9:00. Reservations are recommended: 817-850-9996. Lanny's loyalists will be pleased to know that Lanny's Kitchen will continue catering unabated. Lanny's Catering has a menu for all needs and budgets and will operate continuously throughout the transition period and beyond.
"We've always pursued a dynamic dining experience that constantly pushes boundaries and forges the unexpected," Lanny said. "My heart has been pulling me in a different direction, and it's time for a change. We have an exciting one in store."
Righteous Foods is aptly named for its focus on fresh, whole foods at breakfast, lunch and early dinner by the same kitchen and same chefs as LACM.
"Menu items have all the attributes nature has to offer," Lanny said. "We'll satisfy dietary restrictions, too, with inventive food that boasts healing properties. It won't break the bank, either."
Righteous Foods cafe will have a casual setting for West 7th neighbors, downtown dwellers and Fort Worth Cultural District visitors from near and far. Dedicated parking spots make it easy to take advantage of either Lanny's RF Curbside Service or the Righteous To Go counter.
Lanny's Catering continues to cater private events for intimate groups of six or for large gatherings of 500 people. Custom-tailored menus fit a variety of needs and budgets. For catering, contact Natalie Hughes at 817-850-9996 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Righteous Foods, expected to launch in August, will be open Monday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. Lanny's Kitchen, operation-central for both LACM Catering and Righteous Foods, is located at 3405 West 7th Street in Fort Worth.

New Middletown financial reports available for viewing
New Middletown
The Village of New Middletown has completed the annual financial reports for 2012. They are available for viewing during regular business hours, Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the village municipal building, 10711 Main St.
NM could teach Youngstown a thing or two about taking care of the basics well - what Youngstown disparagingly calls the low priority "quality of life" issues .
Financial accountability is very important . There's just one thing NM could still do to save seniors & others trudging down to the Township office during work hours on these cold days to read the accounts . Why not post them on the website as well ?

Hang tight!
Recipe by Paulette Womer
"A delicious cake flavored with carob and sweetened with honey! It is a weird taste if you are expecting chocolate - but can be addicting when you get used to it!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/2 cup
2/3 cup
banana, mashed
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
3/4 cup
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1/3 cup
carob powder
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon
sea salt
1 cup
chopped walnuts
1/4 cup
1/3 cup
1 cup
dry milk powder
1/4 cup
carob powder
1/4 cup
This cake was the best "chocolate" cake I have ever eaten. I did use whole wheat flour inside of white flour. It did not seem to make any difference. The cake was moist and remained that way until the last piece was eaten! (Which didn't last long.) The frosting was another story. This was not as great as expected and fortunately for me I did not add it to the cake. I think maybe it needed some heavy cream... Again I highly recommend this recipe for the cake part.
This is a delicious carob cake. It is moist and has the perfect texture and sweetness. I did substitute applesauce for the butter to keep it low-fat. I also used my own version of carob frosting (carob powder, milk, and powdered sugar). I also found that I had to cook it for 20 minutes longer than the recipe stated. I grew up eating carob cake every year for my birthday, and this is one of the best ones I have tasted. Thanks for sharing this recipe!!

Great cake! I've tried many times to make a cake with frosting using carob (my son is allergic to cocoa), but they usually never turned out. This is a definite keeper - the cake is moist without being half raw and the banana adds a nice flavour, and the icing is tasty too. Next time I'll only make half the icing though. I substituted 1/3 of the flour with whole wheat, and sprinkled shredded coconut over the icing.
Goodness and Angels, this is a wonderful recipe. We were out of bananas, so I subbed with 2TB ground flaxseed soaked in 6TB water, and was low on honey so used 1/2c honey and 2 packets of stevia. Also used whole wheat pastry flour, and no frosting. The 2 diabetics in the house were excited about having this for future b-day cakes. No wonder other members were so happy over this recipe! We are grateful to have this recipe now too!
I made this recipe for my daughter's birthday party because she is allergic to chocolate. The kids enjoyed it as did the adults. I liked the frosting, but found the cake part a little dry, but that could be b/c I used spelt flour instead of regular wheat (I'm wheat sensitive : P ) But still on the whole, it was quite good and very full-flavored.
Next time I will try agave nectar intead of honey. I think it will taste more like real chocolate. I wish I could give 4.5 stars.
i can't consume caffeine but had a few bad experiences w/carob. until i tried this cake, that is! i substituted the water/nuts with 1/3C almond butter and 2/3C shredded coconut. that made a really lovely and moist cake with a delicious flavor. will try w/o the almond butter next time to lower fat. maybe raisins.
WOW! This is an AmAzInG cake. So moist and really chocolaty! It is the best warm, but cool is great too. Thank you for your recipe! I haven't been able to eat chocolate, because I can't take the caffein in chocolate, so this was heavenly to me. I did not add any water in the icing and it turned out thicker like a regular frosting and added dry Hazelnut creamer with the dry milk to add flavor. Though the Carob cake doesn't really need the sweet icing, it's great by itself! Thank you again!

Douglas Jason King, son of Robert Gale King and Linda Lea (McKnight) King, was born November 21, 1966 in Humboldt, Nebraska. Doug attended Christian schools and Westside High School in Omaha, later earning his GED. He participated in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts and attended Glad Tidings Church while growing up in Omaha. Doug served in the Nebraska Army National Guard following his schooling. On November 12, 1994 Doug was married to Caron (Bennett) Dowland in Las Vegas, Nevada. Doug welcomed Caron's children: Don, Kristy, and Shane into his home. Doug and Caron made their home in Brock, Nebraska. Doug worked at a woodworking shop while he was in Omaha. After moving to Brock he worked outages at Cooper Nuclear Station at Brownville, Nebraska. He also farmed with his grandfather Lester McKnight and later for Fred Gauchat in the Brock area. Doug worked for many years with EnTire Recycling, first in Nebraska City and then in Rock Port, Missouri after the company's move. He was still a valued employee at EnTire. Doug served on the Brock Volunteer Fire Department. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, and liked to go camping and play board games with his family. He was a true handyman, and was especially talented at carpentry work. Above all, Doug put his family first in all that he did. On Sunday, August 31, 2014 Doug passed away suddenly in Brock. He had reached the age of 47 years, nine months, and 10 days. His grandparents, Lester and Maxine McKnight, preceded him in death. Doug is survived by his wife Caron of Brock; children Don and wife Candice Dowland of Syracuse; Kristy Wolsmann of Council Bluffs; Shane Dowland of Omaha; grandchildren Devin, Keaton, and Kendra Dowland; Nikolaus, Ethan, and Addison Wolsmann; Christian Dowland; mother and step-father Linda and Albert Zook of Nebraska City; father and step-mother Bob and Fran King of California; brothers Greg King and Mike King, both of Omaha; many other relatives and friends. A funeral service was held Friday, September 5, 2014 at the United Methodist Church in Brock, officiated by Rev. Larry Tolen. Special pre-recorded music was played. Doug's body was cremated following the service. Services were entrusted to Hemmingsen Funeral Home of Auburn.
Richard "Keith" Williams, age 56, passed away from pancreatic cancer on September 6, 2014. He wanted all to know that he didn't die peacefully; he wasn't quite done attending ball games, playing with his beloved grandchildren, hunting and fishing with his friends, working on his Willy's Jeep, or with his ever-expanding list of projects. He left for his trip to heaven kicking and screaming but he was excited at the prospect of meeting his Lord and Savior. Keith was born January 16, 1958 in Belle Glade, Florida. He was preceded in death by his parents Laurence Bruce Williams and Catherine Roper Williams. He is survived by Jackie, his wife of 36 years; children, Justin Williams, Jennifer (Rick) Smithpeter, and Nathan (Ashley) Williams; grandchildren, Samantha Chaney, Ross, Brent and Ty Smithpeter, and Madalyn and Laynie Williams; sisters, Kay (Kyle) Scott, Patricia (John) Hood, brother, Larry (LuAnne) Williams; sister-in-law, Cindy (Matt) Kreifels; father-in-law, Carl Baker; and a large extended family of cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Keith was the favorite son of Bruce and Catherine, even though they sometimes let Larry think that honor was his. Keith graduated from Glades Day School in Belle Glade, Florida and arrived in Peru in 1976 with a skateboard, long red hair, and wearing surfer shorts, to attend Peru State College on a football scholarship. He was heard to say that he would never drive a redneck pick-up truck, wear cowboy boots or those dumb blue jeans. It should be mentioned that one of his favorite sports in his early years was bull riding- while wearing cowboy boots and blue jeans and owning a pick-up truck. While in college, he majored in hunting, fishing, and partying. His many "diplomas" are mounted in his home. He met Jackie, the love of his life and fell in love with the community and countryside. He never looked back as he carved a wonderful life in Nebraska. He went to work at Cooper Nuclear Station in 1979 and spent 35 gratifying years there, ending his career as a Mechanical Maintenance Supervisor. But, Keith's greatest accomplishments were his family, especially his grandchildren, his friends and his faith. One of the proudest moments of his life happened on August 20 when he and Jackie were baptized at their home. His many hobbies and interests included camping, snorkeling, welding, restoring his 1951 Willy's jeep, bull riding, playing cards, playing practical jokes on all he loved and of course, hunting and fishing. He particularly loved telephone pranks until his mother taught him a hard learned lesson. He loved his years coaching youth baseball, softball, wrestling, and flag football with his friend Rodney. Keith was an avid collector of friends and unquestionably had one of the largest and finest collections known to man. In fact, in addition to his faith and his family, his collection of friends was one of his most treasured possessions. He had an uncanny ability of finding friends to add to his collection, and once he found one, he never let him or her go. He always went out of his way to make others feel comfortable. The family would like for Keith to be remembered as a wonderful husband, father, papa, son, brother, friend, and an all-around remarkable human being. A Memorial service for Keith was held Wednesday, September 10, at Auburn Christian Church in Auburn, officiated by Rev. Corey Miller. Services were entrusted to Hemmingsen Funeral Home of Auburn.

Bloomberg has a series out on the federal government's crop insurance program, which cost taxpayers $14 billion in 2012. The articles, which reveal a textbook example of politicians and special interests teaming up to pilfer taxpayers, should be read in their entirety.
Profits: Liberal Theorizing vs. the Real World
The Washington Post's Steve Pearlstein published a lengthy diatribe against corporate profits yesterday. Or at least it was against firms wanting to earn profits now in the current quarter rather than some time period later on.
U.S. Postal Service Likely to Seek "Emergency" Increase in Stamp Prices
The U.S. Postal Service is structured to subsist on the revenues it generates from the sale of its products and services. In recent years, however, USPS expenses have exceeded revenues and the government agency now finds itself effectively broke having maxed out its $15 billion line of credit with the U.S. Treasury.
U.S. Government Spending, 1970-2013
Downsizing Government has a new tool allowing readers to chart spending for more than 500 federal agencies with the click of a mouse. It's pretty cool. Hopefully it will help citizens, reporters, and policymakers understand how the budget has grown to a colossal $3.5 trillion a year.
Spending Freezes in History
With Congress reconvening, members will soon be battling over discretionary-spending levels for fiscal year 2014, which begins October 1. They will decide whether to abide by current federal budget caps, which are designed to keep discretionary spending roughly flat over the next few years. The problem is that many lawmakers have become so used to rising budgets that a spending freeze seems impossibly tight-fisted to them.
The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same
The following headlines were on a magazine cover I saw over the weekend:
Corporate Welfare Comes in Different Flavors
The New York Times has another example of what could be considered a form of corporate welfare: excessive federal reimbursement rates for anti-anemia drugs used by dialysis centers.
Federal Homeownership Policy: Money for Nothing
Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Times ran a column repeating the simplistic notion that since homeownership is "good" then subsidies for homeownership must therefore also be "good." Never asked, or apparently even contemplated, is the question of whether all our various homeownership subsidies actually deliver homeownership.

Antique Table Cover
By DonTimm

About Me Midrange Shopper
Great table covers..
No more slip, sliding' away!
By Michelle
from Kansas
This tablecloth replaced one that didn't have any elastic. Whoa! Now when I put glasses and dishes and my three-month old granddaughter on the table, that's where they stay! This gave my kitchen and my life the stability I needed. Plus, this is a really attractive design--makes me look like a real live decorator. If I had to make one teeny, tiny negative comment about it, it would be that I had just a few problems stretching far enough to put an elasticized tablecloth on the table all by myself. It would have helped if I would have been an octopus, but, hey--I managed. And I really love the look and practicality of it!

Nice but too big
By Saltynan
from Indianapolis, In
I ordered the oval/oblong size, it is supposed to fit up to 42 X 68. My table is 42 X 60 and it was way too big. If your table is 68 inches long it is a great tablecloth if shorter don't bother ordering, it won't fit. I would send it back but it wasn't worth the price of postage.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend
Beautiful print design, fits perfectly
By Blondy Van Weirden
from Denver, CO
I purchased this to cover and protect the table top of a mid-century (1959) blond wood kitchen table. Before I put it on, I was concerned that it would detract from the Danish modern design, but it truly enhances it, especially with this 1950's print. This vinyl table cover fits snuggly and is easy to wipe clean. It is also heavy weight vinyl that should last quite awhile. If you have short arms, you will need someone to help put it on the table, but once it is on, it will stay...it doesn't slip-slide around. (My only complaint is that MK takes too long to process and ship...it took almost a month...very old-school mail order style.)
We like the elasticized table cloth idea

Even if the running is confined to the low-resistance setting of the pool, it is still a good sign that the recovery and rehab are progressing nicely.
One thing that has been apparent in Broyles' time with the Lions is that he always brings a positive attitude and that hasn't changed in the midst of a second ACL rehabilitation process.
The grind never stops! Nothing will stop me from getting to my destination!

Preservation Resource Center's Operation Comeback program promotes the purchase, renovation and sale of vacant historic properties. Started in 1987, as a focused effort to revitalize the Lower Garden District, Operation Comeback rapidly expanded and now works with dozens of neighborhood associations and community development corporations citywide. By acquiring and renovating blighted and adjudicated properties that most would consider hopeless, Operation Comeback provides homes for first-time and repeat homebuyers, serving as a catalyst for the rebirth of New Orleans' historic neighborhoods. In the effort to put as many properties back into the hands of families as possible, Operation Comeback has developed several ways for many to become involved.

BANGKOK (AP) — Police in Thailand fought off mobs of rock-throwing protesters armed with petrol bombs who tried to battle their way into the government's heavily-fortified headquarters Sunday, as gunshots rang out in Bangkok and the prime minister fled a police complex during the sharpest escalation yet of the country's latest crisis.
The protests, aimed at toppling Yingluck Shinawatra's administration, have renewed fears of prolonged instability in one of Southeast Asia's biggest economies. Sunday marked the first time police have used force since demonstrations began in earnest a week ago — a risky strategy that many fear could trigger more bloodshed.
At least four people have been killed and 103 injured in skirmishes so far, according to police and the state's emergency medical services. The deaths occurred at a Bangkok stadium where shooting was heard Sunday for the second day and the body of one protester shot in the chest lay face-up on the ground.
Yingluck spent the morning in meetings at a Bangkok police complex but evacuated to an undisclosed location and canceled an interview with reporters after more than a hundred protesters attempted to break into the compound, according to her secretary, Wim Rungwattanajinda.
Several demonstrators interviewed by The Associated Press, however, were unaware Yingluck was inside. Those who made it a few steps into the vast complex stayed only a few minutes, and Wim said they did not get anywhere near the heavily protected building where Yingluck was located.
The unrest forced several of Bangkok's biggest and glitziest shopping malls to close in the heart of the city and snarled traffic. Mobs also besieged at least three television stations demanding they broadcast the protesters' views and not the government's. One of those TV stations is government run, the other is owned by the military and the third is independent.
With skirmishes around Yingluck's office at Government House continuing as darkness fell, the government advised Bangkok residents to stay indoors overnight for their safety.
Political instability has plagued Thailand since the military ousted Yingluck's brother, Thaksin Shinawatra, in a 2006 coup. Two years later, anti-Thaksin demonstrators occupied Bangkok's two airports for a week after taking over the prime minister's office for three months, and in 2010 pro-Thaksin protesters occupied downtown Bangkok for weeks in a standoff that ended with parts of the city in flames and more than 90 dead.
Any further deterioration is likely to scare away investors as well as tourists who come to Thailand by the millions and contribute 10 percent to the $602 billion economy, Southeast Asia's second largest after Indonesia. It is also likely to undermine Thailand's democracy, which had built up in fits and starts interrupted by coups.
The latest unrest began last month after an ill-advised bid by Yingluck's ruling Pheu Thai party to push an amnesty law through Parliament that would have allowed the return of her self-exiled brother, who was overthrown after being accused of corruption and abuse of power. Thaksin lives in Dubai to avoid a two-year jail term for a corruption conviction he says was politically motivated.
The bill failed to pass the upper house of parliament, emboldening protesters, who drew 100,000 people to a mass rally in Bangkok one week ago. Then, over the past week, they seized the Finance Ministry, camped at a sprawling government office complex, cut power to the national police headquarters and briefly broken into the army headquarters compound to urge the military to support them.
The demonstrators, who accuse Yingluck of being her brother's puppet, mainly support the opposition Democrat Party. They want to replace Yingluck's elected government with an unelected "people's council," but they have been vague about what that means.
Some of Sunday's most dramatic scenes played out in front of Government House, where more than 1,000 protesters wearing bandanas and plastic bags over their heads skirmished with riot police with shields who fired rubber bullets, water cannons and tear gas over barricades that separated them. Protesters clipped away at coils of barbed wire that surrounded the compound, pushed over barriers and at one point tried to drag one way with a green rope tied to a truck.
One Associated Press cameraman filming the mayhem was hit in the hand by a rock and the leg by a rubber bullet.
A few kilometers (miles) away, police drove back another crowd of protesters at the Bangkok police bureau.
"We're all brothers and sisters," police shouted through a loudspeaker before firing tear gas. "Please don't try to come in!"
Until this weekend, the demonstrations have largely been peaceful. But tensions rose Saturday night after rival groups clashed in a northeastern Bangkok neighborhood where a large pro-government rally was being held in a stadium. Dozens were wounded, and unidentified gunmen also shot and killed several people.
Pro-government supporters left the stadium Sunday, but gunshots were fired in the same area early the same day. It was not clear who was responsible or targeted, said police Col. Narongrit Promsawat. Wutthisak Larpcharoensap, the rector of nearby Ramkhamhaeng University, said at least some of shots were fired toward the school.
Yingluck's government, weary of past bloodshed, has gone to painstaking lengths to avoid using force. But they appeared to have drawn a red line at Government House, and on Sunday fought back for the first time, both there and at the headquarters of Bangkok city police.
Army commander Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha — who said last week the army would not take sides — urged the police not to use force and also called on protesters to avert violence, according to Lt. Col. Winthai Suvaree, an army spokesman.
Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban had earlier vowed that Sunday would mark the end of the campaign with protesters declaring a "victory day." But in a televised statement late in the day, he called on protesters to press on.
Most of the protesters are middle-class Bangkok residents who have been part of the anti-Thaksin movement for several years and people brought in from the Democrat Party strongholds in the southern provinces.
Because Yingluck's party has overwhelming electoral support from the country's rural majority, which benefited from Thaksin's populist programs, the protesters want to change the country's political system to a less democratic one where the educated and well-connected would have a greater say than directly elected lawmakers.
Associated Press writers Grant Peck, Jocelyn Gecker, Papitchaya Boonngok, Yves Dam Van, and Raul Gallego Abellan contributed to this report.

After paying tribute to members of the armed forces, he laid out his first two gubernatorial goals as bettering the state economy and creating a better educational system. "My direction as Governor is simple and focused," he said. "First, to seek enhanced economic freedom for all Utah cit izens; second, to ensure our education system matches our children's dreams with their unique, individual abilities." l ie noted some economic development that has occurred recently in the Beehive State and expressed thanks for those responsible for keeping Hill Air Force Base open. He called for an update of what he called an "antiquated tax code." He suggested changing to a flatter - tax that would give more money back to Utahns. He talked about the importance of combining economic development in state universities and instilling passion for knowledge in students' education. "Good teachers are critical to turning this goal into a reality." he said. "All parents and educators must be willing to challenge our students with a more robust and rigorous curr'rulum. Building intellectual infrastructure by way of brainpower-whether at the elementary, secondary, or higher education level-is as crucial to our. State's success as building roads, bridges, and dams. If we fail our children, we have failed our future." Weekly religion discussions Every Tuesday at 1 p.m. the Weber State University Diversity Center will host the Religion and Ethics Weekly Forum in the Shepherd Union Building Room 240. The discussions are based on an award-winning PBS series, Religion and Ethics Newsweekly. The program airs every Sunday on both KBYU and KUED and is shown again at each meeting. Alter viewing the program, the group will discuss it together. One of last week's topics was "Evangelicals and the Environment," which looked at how Hurricanes Katrina, Wiltna, Rita and others last year caused many evangelicals to consider global warming and other environmental concerns as serious social issues. The program explored how many evangelical leaders are now trying to educate their congregations on the spiritual nature of the environment and the importance of ecological concerns. The program also reflected on the life and accomplishments of civil rights advocate Martin Luther King Jr. and how his life as a pastor influenced his contributions to civil rights. For more information about . the group, call 626-7947. The meetings will also be printed in the Campus Calendar section of The Signpost. Students help decide how money will be spent By Jason Staley managing editor The Signpost Friday the 13th marked the first session of the Student Fee Recommendation Committee and this year they are facing the same situation as the Utah Legislature they both have more money than last year. Last year, student fees dropped about $20,000, giving the SFRC $5.7 million to divvy among 25 organizations. This year the committee is facing a $272,971 increase, giving the committee roughly $6 million to allocate New policy for Mandatory testing implemented for freshmen placement By Maria Villasefior editor in chief The Signpost This spring semester, 1,372 new freshmen were admitted in need of remedial math or English courses. Under the college tier system, those students must complete their developmental courses before being able to move onto upper-division classes. But the block from 3000-level classes prevents many students from taking needed courses and a new system was devised to push students to complete developmental math and English requirements while allowing them to also move forward in their majors. "We're basicallyforcing students to do what is in their best interest, which they We're basically forcing students to do what is in their best interest, which they didn't always do before." Erika Daines, faculty senate Admissions, Standards and Student Affairs committee member didn't always do before," said Erika Daines, WSU German professor and member of the Admissions, Standards and Student Affairs committee of faculty senate. The new mandatory testing and placement system requires incoming freshman to take their first math class by their second semester at WSU and take a math class every semester until dieir general requirements are completed.

Last year was a little more difficult because the number was a negative," said Dennis Miller, a Weber State University student on the committee. "It was really quite difficult and it was a different dynamic with the group, too." "I have a faith in students and a lot of trust in their judgment and I'm not sure all institutions do' Toni Weight, WSU Associate Vice President of Student Affairs Although there has been an increase in fees, the SFRC is facing $6.2 million in requests this year. What sets WSU apart from many other institutions is that WSU students decide where this money goes. low test scores semester then wait a few semesters before taking their next math class. A flawed process because students can forget what they previously learned, she said. "If you wait a year and you haven't used your math skills, then you just don't retain that knowledge very well. Your skills deteriorate like everything else," Daines said. "That's a waste of resources for students, and for the university, to keep taking the same classes, paying developmental fees and still not getting to quantitative literacy." The open admissions policy at WSU does not require a minimum ACT score to enroll. The current system separates students into two categones: University Tier or College Tier. Students with an ACT score below 17 in English and 23 in math are placed in college tier and cannot take upper-division classes until their English and math general education requirements are completed. Daines said this limit on upper-division courses was difficult for many students within her department. Many students with high-foreign language proficiency, like return missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, study abroad students or native speakers, could not continue with their language studies if they needed developmental courses. The foreign language department places them into high-proficiency classes, all of which are upper-division. See College Tier page 9 i r vsrr! -Must takeACCUPLACER placement test for math.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- The name of Kalamazoo's new Summer Baseball team will be the Growlers. That name, which has a double meaning, was chosen by about 80% of the people who voted in a competition for the team's new name.
While there is a bear, purportedly a northern Black Bear depicted in the logo, a large beer stein is also called a "growler". That's a tie to Kalamazoo's ever growing reputation as a beer town.
Several hundred turned out for the announcement Friday evening. There are 18-teams in the Northwoods League, the nearest one to Kalamazoo is the Battle Creek Bombers but there are teams as far away as Minnesota, and Iowa.
It's a wooden bat league, made up mostly of amateurs from the ranks of college teams. But a lot of them end up in the big leagues.
Just this past season there were six alum of the Northwoods Leagues on the Tigers roster, including Andy Dirks, Danny Worth, Drew Smiley and Cy Young winner Max Scherzer.
They also announced that they are planning some stadium renovations at Homer Stryker Field, incorporating the logo and adding some special seating, details to be announced later.
They also announced their new Manager, Joe Carbone, who has 40 years experience as a coach, 20 as the Head Coach at Ohio University.

Touchstone Climbing Series
We've got exciting news about our next competition series! As the Touchstone Climbing Gym family keeps expanding, our competition series is growing right along with us! We're psyched to announce the creation of TCS, the Touchstone Climbing Series, which will kick off in 2014.
For those of you familiar with our bouldering and roped competitions, TCS is the holy consummation of TBS and TRS. With 9 gyms and such a dedicated climbing population, we've combined the two comps and created a schedule that will run annually, visiting each Touchstone location and rotating between a ropes competition and a bouldering competition. One comp to rule them all!
The 2014 TCS comp schedule is as follows:
Here are some commonly asked questions regarding the new comp scheudle.
Q: Does this mean there are less competitions?
A: No! Creating TCS doesn't mean we will have less competitions, that's the beauty of it. Instead, we'll be able to involve more people since some of our members only boulder, or only rope climb. No more waiting.
Q: Are the competitions still free to members?
A: Yes! Comps will always be free for our members, because you are awesome and we love you. Plus, guests are only $10. It's the cheapest way into the gym.
Q: How will this affect routesetting?
A: In a good way! By organizing the comp series by annually, we'll be able to keep our routesetting team on top of all 9 gyms, bringing you more new climbs more often.
Q: Do we still get free t-shirts, booze, pizza, and tons of new climbing?
A: Le duh.
Q: Will there be on-sight finals?
A: Yes, there will be a bouldering finale AND a rope finale. 2014 is going to be a very big year. On-sight finals will go down at Dogpatch Boulders and Mission Cliffs for the over-all bouldering and rope leaders.
We can't wait to kick off the new comp series - and we hope you're as psyched as we are!
