WASHINGTON - Just when it was beginning to look a little better, the economy relapsed Friday with a return to double-digit unemployment for only the second time since World War II and warnings that next year will be worse than previously thought.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A man so broke that he said he didn't have the money to visit his son 30 minutes away opened fire Friday at the engineering firm that fired him two years ago, killing one person and wounding five, authorities said. As officers led a handcuffed Jason Rodriguez into a police station, a reporter asked the divorced 40-year-old why he had attacked his former colleagues. "Because they left me to rot," said Rodriguez, who recently told a bankruptcy judge he was making less than $30,000 a year at a Subway sandwich shop and owed nearly $90,000. Updated - 12:01AM

Weddings, funerals and meetings. Preaching at four services every week and prepping for them for 15-20 hours at a time. Counseling parishioners in crisis and visiting the sick.

Jeff Huber, the senior pastor at First United Methodist Church of Durango. It's a life that is rewarding, but tiring as well. Updated - 12:18AM
