ISTANBUL (AP) ? Riot police in Istanbul fired water cannon and tear gas Monday to disperse pockets of protesters on the sidelines of a demonstration called by labor groups who hope to capitalize on weeks of initially small-scale activism to register broader discontent.
The demonstrations were the latest challenge to the Islamic-rooted, conservative government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has drawn scorn abroad for his tactics against peaceful activists in two weeks of protests and exposed fault lines in Turkey's democracy.
Two major labor groups urged their members to hold the one-day strike and participate in demonstrations in response to a police crackdown against activists who led a wave of protests that have centered on Istanbul's Taksim Square and nearby Gezi Park in recent weeks.
A rally in Ankara took place peacefully, and there were no immediate signs that the police operation in Istanbul had provoked major clashes in the afternoon. Earlier, Turkey's interior minister warned that anyone joining unlawful demonstrations would "bear the legal consequences."
Meanwhile, in a sign of tensions between rival groups, images from Dogan news agency showed crowds of government supporters facing down some protesters. Some chanted "the hands targeting the police should be broken."
The government expressed increasing exasperation over more than two weeks of street demonstrations, including a sit-in in Gezi Park, overwhelmingly peaceful demonstrations and ? at times ? clashes between stone-throwing youths and riot police.
Earlier Monday, Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc floated the prospect that authorities could still call in the military.
In a TV interview, Arinc stopped short of saying troops would be called in or a state of emergency declared, according to the state news agency, Anadolu. But he said that if the police operations weren't enough to calm the situation, local governors "can benefit from Turkey's military forces" under the law, he said.
The labor demonstrations follow a weekend in which police purged activists from an 18-day sit-in at the park that has come to symbolize defiance against the government, while Ergodan's conservative political base held huge rallies in both Istanbul and Ankara.
Monday's labor-led demonstrations had a more structured feel compared to the counterculture-style sit-in at Gezi and the spontaneous protests of recent weeks. Middle-aged men banged drums and chanting women sat on the ground, hands clasped, as part of the demonstrations.
Earlier, in Ankara, thousands of demonstrators waving union flags, jumping and whistling converged at central Kizilay Square in an uneasy face-off about 50 meters away from riot police and a line of trucks.
Turkey's NTV television reported that riot police issued warnings to the demonstrators to disperse, saying the rally was unlawful and authorities would take action if they did not. After about three hours, the protesters left peacefully.
TV images showed hundreds marching in the Aegean Sea coastal city of Izmir.
Behind the strikes were the KESK confederation of public sector workers and DISK, a confederation of labor unions from industries including transport, construction, health care and media. Together they say they represent 330,000 workers. Small unions that group professionals such as dentists, doctors and engineers also joined in.
Strikes, however, often have little visible impact on daily life in Turkey, a country of about 75 million, and the call to walk off the job Monday had limited fallout beyond the demonstrations.
Unionists in Istanbul hoped to reach Taksim Square on Monday afternoon. But police have maintained a lockdown on the square after unrest continued in pockets of the country overnight.
The standoff between police and protesters began as an environmentalists' rally over the government's plans to tear down trees and redevelop Gezi Park. But a police crackdown on May 31 lit a fuse on much broader anger and morphed the movement into a protest against Erdogan's government.
His opponents have grown increasingly suspicious about what they consider a gradual erosion of freedoms and secular Turkish values under his Islamic-rooted party's government. It has passed new curbs on alcohol and tried, but later abandoned its plans, to limit women's access to abortion.
Five people, including a policeman, have died and more than 5,000 have been injured, according to a Turkish rights group.
Erdogan has been praised for shepherding Turkey to strong economic growth as many other world economies lagged. But his government's handling of the protests has dented his international reputation.
He has blamed the protests on a nebulous plot to destabilize his government and repeatedly lashed out at reports in foreign media and chatter in social media about the situation.
In a speech Monday, he again took aim at the European Parliament for its criticism of his management of the crisis, saying it was "siding with people who are attacking people's freedom" ? a reference to the protesters. He said they were "anti-democratic" because they had occupied Gezi Park, and accused them of harming private and public property.
Turkey has had grand ambitions on the international stage, including a bid to host the 2020 Olympics and its long-standing aim to join the European Union. But criticism of Erdogan's response to the crisis may have damaged such goals.
Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, which is home to some 3 million Turks, told German broadcaster RTL she was "appalled" to see footage of police forces moving in to clear Istanbul's Gezi Park over the weekend. She criticized the crackdown by Turkish police as "much too strong."
"What is happening at the moment in Turkey does not correspond to our idea of the freedom to protest and the freedom of speech," she said. Germany is Europe's biggest economy and a key player in EU decision-making.
The labor walkout was the second since the protests began. Another took place June 5.
"The first one, we said it's a warning for the government, to listen the streets, to listen the message from the demonstrators, and we asked them to stop this police violence," said Kivanc Eli Acik, a labor leader.
"But after that day, rather than stopping the violence, the excessive police violence and intervention is going much, much bigger. So this is the second warning, the second strong message to the government," he added.

Oil falls toward $97 ahead of Fed meeting
BANGKOK (AP) -- Oil prices fell Monday as traders refrained from big moves ahead of a critical meeting of U.S. central bank policymakers later in the week.
Benchmark oil for July delivery fell 33 cents to $97.52 a barrel at midday Bangkok time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract for July delivery rose $1.16 to close at $97.85 a barrel on the Nymex amid concerns about a possible escalation in Syria's civil war.
The Fed has been supporting the U.S. economy by buying $85 billion in bonds every month as part of a plan to keep interest rates low and encourage borrowing, spending and investing. Recent signs of a recovery, however, have raised questions about whether the Fed might start to pull back.
Some investors worry that long-term interest rates could spike when the Fed pulls back, threatening the economic recovery. The Fed will start a two-day meeting Tuesday to discuss the central bank's next steps.
"Ultimately markets are likely to successfully transition to a world of reduced Fed asset purchases but this may take a while. In the meantime market stress is set to remain elevated," said analysts at Credit Agricole CIB in a market commentary.
President Barack Obama's decision last week to provide weapons to rebels fighting the forces of Syrian President Bashar Assad pushed up oil prices Friday. The Middle East is a key source of crude oil and important transit routes cross the region, so conflicts which threaten disruptions in crude production or supply usually push oil prices higher.
Brent crude, a benchmark for many international oil varieties, fell 47 cents to $105.46 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on the Nymex:
? Wholesale gasoline fell 0.1 cent to $2.8890 a gallon.
? Heating oil added 1.3 cents to $2.96526 per gallon.
? Natural gas rose 2.4 cents to $3.757 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Health Care Administration: from Bachelor's to Master's
There is added pressure to obtain a graduate degree in health care administration after receiving a bachelor's degree. But since studies show an individual with a master's receives better job security and increased wages, and many positions that previously required only a bachelor's now require a master's degree, it really is a no-brainer.
There are many entry- to mid-level management opportunities for undergraduates with a health administration degree like finance, planning and development, information systems, marketing and public affairs, and materials management. However, you will need a master's degree in public health, public administration or business administration, and other related fields to take advantage of higher-level positions and executive roles. As a health care executive, you are afforded the opportunity to work in the following environments: mental health organizations, university or research institutions, public health departments, consulting firms, integrated delivery services or hospices.
The most common master's degrees, which generally take two years to complete, have been in health administration or public health, but other professionals have earned master's degrees in business with concentrations in health services management. Joint degree programs - such as a master's in both public health and business, or health care management and law - have proven to be great options as well.
According to the American College of Healthcare Executives, only about 2,000 students receive graduate degrees in healthcare management annually, and salaries for beginning master's degree graduates generally range from the high-30s to high-40.
Keep in mind a master's degree doesn't guarantee an executive role immediately following graduation. Individuals have to work their way up the health care administration career ladder; some master's degree holders start off as assistant administrators or managers of non-health departments.
Future employers look for leadership, communication, and decision-making skills, as well as integrity, adaptability and dependability in their employees. So regardless of which degree you possess, keep in mind some skills aren't learned in a classroom. And academically, it's not just about having a bachelor's degree in health care administration or a master's degree, but obtaining such a degree from a school accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME).
Additional tips:
Research: Undergraduate and graduate degrees in health care both lead to promising jobs in the industry. For individuals who really don't want to earn another degree, job experience can also help you climb the career ladder, but you won't know your options until you do more research.
Stay abreast on health care knowledge: You can't expect to excel in an industry you know nothing about. If you don't want to invest the time to look up the latest medicine technology or the latest health reform, you shouldn't expect a company to want to invest in you.

Siege by gunmen of Pakistani hospital ends
QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) ? Pakistan's interior minister says the siege of a hospital in southwestern Pakistani has ended after security forces stormed the building.
Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said forces freed 35 people trapped inside the building, killed four of the attackers and arrested another.
He says four security forces and one top government officials died during Saturday's violence, which began when attackers set off a bomb in a corridor in the hospital's emergency room and then took over areas of the hospital.
The interior minister did not have any information on the identity of the attackers, and there has been no claim of responsibility.

Improve Your Self Improvement Routine And Improve Yourself ...
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Trying out a few self help tips can benefit your life. Creating a better life through positive improvements can seem daunting when you first begin to embrace the concept. All that you should be aware of can begin bettering yourself is in the tips listed below.
Whether or not a person can make things happen for you, you must treat everyone with respect and gratitude. How they are treated speaks more of you than them.
Usually what brings your happy mood down is stress. When we are stressed out, it harms us mentally and physically. To retain clarity of mind and the motivation to work towards our goals, it is critical to banish unnecessary stress from our minds. Allow yourself a set time during each day that you can relax and empty your mind. This peaceful mental relaxation will refresh your mind, and improve your inner self.
Decide what you value most in life and stick with it. Setting high standards for yourself can help you achieve personal development you desire.
TIP! Recognize that the person you are now is not the person you want to be. You have to realize this difference before you can actually get to your destination.
Incorporate your belief system into daily living. All people have beliefs that tell what they are about. If you have good reason to have these beliefs, you will feel more confident and grow your self esteem by adhering to these beliefs and principles. This practice will encourage consistency, a valuable character trait to keep.
Know the obstacles you face before you hit them. This is hard to do for a lot of people. Think of identifying your weakness as the first step in getting rid of them. Once you have removed the obstacles to your success, you can enjoy smooth sailing to your goals.
No matter what, you must adhere to one rule. The thing you have to do is take action. Take charge of your life and refuse to take the role of a spectator. Only observing and not living makes you dead to the world, and you must live!
Become awesome at something you?re passionate about. Follow your passion to the greatest possible aspirations. While you cannot be the very best at something, you can aspire to ispire others in your field. By increasing your value within your field of study or work, you can enjoy benefits including higher self-esteem.
TIP! Increasing the positivity in your daily life is truly a matter of personal choice, and what you want for others will often appear in your own life, whether good or bad. For this reason, it is important to wish only positive things for the people in your life.
Are you having trouble finding a mate? Try the world wide web. Some research shows that forty percent of those finding their dating partners are using the Internet. Your soul mate might be out there looking online for you too. Each has pros and cons.
Making yourself number one, and not overextending yourself, is very important. This doesn?t mean that you should only think of yourself, but in some cases, you really need to put yourself first. If what you?re doing is true to both your ethics and yourself, then you can be healthier with your path to self improvement.
You can learn how to handle difficult problems without over-reacting. Once you learn how to remain calm in the midst of stress, you?ll have the confidence needed to cope with anything that happens in your life. Take the time to reflect on the situation, breathe deeply and relax.
A critical step of personal development is the realization and acceptance of your insignificance. When you realize how insignificant you really are, you will begin to understand you have more to learn. Once you absorb this fact, you will have a desire for further knowledge and understanding.
TIP! If you are in the process of self development, it can be a blow to fail but keep going. But, failure doesn?t have to be something bad if you can learn from it and gain experience from it.
You can?t tend to others needs until your own needs are met. No matter where you are in life, allow yourself time to recover and rejuvenate yourself.
Listening to someone is just as vital as talking with them. If you are pursuing self improvement goals, this is especially true for you! Many people talk to themselves, and this is something you should be doing as well. In addition, listen to yourself very carefully. If you don?t, you will not know what you need, nor will you improve yourself.
Stay in top physical condition to maximize your self improvement success. Just simple things, such as exercise, getting enough rest and a proper diet, will all keep your energy level up and make you feel good enough to be successful in your personal development journey. Although it seems so simple, this can be a struggle for some people.
People practicing personal development usually find that their goals are vague and difficult to describe. Make your goal specific. If you create a clear goal, you will achieve the results you want.
TIP! Find books that inspire you. Whether it is a religious book or a favorite novel, find a book that inspires you.
Get rid of every part of your life that is disorganized. If you are able to organize your life, you will feel more confident and more accomplished. Your stress level will also diminish as your life becomes more orderly. Having everything put away and neatly organized can give you a sense of peace.
While self-help does need research and effort, the benefits are more than worth it. You have to stay with it to make changes that will get results. Apply the advice from this article, and you will be well on your way to better living.
