4.0 stars 13 totalReview Keith Royal
Posted by a client
Keith and his staff have been wonderfully supportive to me through my divorce. They respond to my calls promptly and are professional, yet friendly. They dealt with the many aspects of my divorce in an efficient manner and went beyond my expectations. I have recommended them and will continue to do so.

Keith and his staff were friendly, yet professional. They responded to my emails and calls promptly, and listened carefully to my concerns and questions. I would recommend them highly!

Keith helped me in so many ways I can not list them all . I spent thousands of dollars on worthless council in the area before I found him. He knows the laws and how they apply to both parties. He stays on top of the case, informs you of the status of findings and unlike others calls you and answers the phone! He also utilizes the staff of his law firm in many ways to keep his costs down. Keith knows his clients, what they are going through and that it's not an easy road to go down a lone. You will not regret using his firm.

Another lawyer referred me to Mr. Royal because my ex accused me of violating the court order for our children. Initially, I did not think Mr. Royal was as responsive as I would have liked, but his assistant, Kelly Williams was great and kept me from panicking on more than one occasion. Come to find out, Mr. Royal was attempting to negotiate with my ex's attorney, to try and prevent us from having to go to court. We still wound up going to court, but Mr. Royal successfully represented and defended me. And because he presented to the judge his attempts to settle our case without going to court, Mr. Royal was able to convince the judge to award me all of my attorney's fees.

Mr. Royal helped me win custody of my children! I kept him abreast of matters going on with my ex, and he decided when it was a perfect time for us to petition the court for custody of my children. We worked together and created my case. My funds were limited at the time, but after I paid the initial retainer, Mr. Royal worked with me.
With my dealings with attorneys, I think you get what you pay for. If you spend a lot of money, you will get more thorough, detailed action; but if you have financial limitations, your lawyers has to choose wisely how to spend your money. Mr. Royal did that with me, which is why we worked together. I took responsibility for some of my case preparation by asking what I could do to help his assistant, Kelly, and him. I felt we all had a vested interest in my case and not just for the money. I honestly felt he and his staff felt my children belonged with me and were representing and fighting for me because of that. As a result, we won!

I hired Mr. Royal based on the recommendation of a co-worker. I specifically asked for "a very good, very ruthless lawyer" and, if I could, would thank her everyday for the recommendation. I had prior dealings with an attorney who did little for me other than draft paperwork, decide for me that mediation was the best option, and set up for me a child support obligation that was approximately 25% of my income.
Unlike my prior experiences, Mr. Royal immediately took an aggressive approach to my case in response to my needs regarding my custody situation. While he does not come cheap, I would still say his rates were comparable to others I contacted. It took me a while to accept the realization that I was not Mr. Royal's main priority everyday. Sometimes, he was not available when I needed to talk about my case, but he would call or email me in a timely manner, with any information I may have needed. He also explained to me the concept of 'billable hours' and how it pertains to the potentially expensive cost of legal representation.
Mr. Royal and his associate prepared me for my court date. To no fault of Mr. Royal's, the outcome of my case was not exactly as I had hoped; but I left the courtroom in a much better state than I was when I entered it. While I would have preferred a more favorable ruling, I do understand a lawyer, including Mr. Royal, is no miracle-worker and was satisfied with the ruling.

I hired Keith when I was broken, hurting and angry after spending 5 years doing all I could to make my 25 year marriage work. I never thought I would get divorced but it was time, my husband had moved on. Keith advised me with compassion and knowledge. He explained the advantages of filing instead of waiting for my then husband to file. Then he spent a lot of time with me making sure he understood my situation and desires. I am so glad I had him and his assistant Kelly to walk with me thru the year long process of my divorce. (Unfortunately, my ex dragged it out). During that year, Keith was available to answer all my questions and explain all my options. He always called me back promptly and responded within 24 hours to any email correspondence. With Keith on my case, I could go about the business of building a new life without worrying, knowing all the details were getting taken care of. He was my support and advocate thru the difficult process of mediation. He helped me fight when I had no fight left. When I got tired and wanted to settle for much less alimony then I needed to survive, he fought for me and I ultimately got a great settlement. I am so thankful he did! I have been divorced for a year now and my ex-husband has not complied with some of the items in the settlement. After my many attempts to kindly ask him to comply have failed, Keith is back fighting for me again. It is wonderful to have an attorney who not only is a master at his craft but is compassionate and caring toward me! I would highly recommend Keith if you have to go thru the emotionally and mentally draining process of divorce.

Prior to meeting with Keith, I met with another Attorney, whose fees were much higher, and who gave me a much bleaker outcome. Keith on the other and, consistently counseled me as to the less expensive choices throughout my case.
Several times I wanted to settle and take the easier way out. Keith wisely counseled me on what he thought we could attain if I continued forward. Today, I am so thankful for his foresight. I am also thankful for his patience and encouragement with me, while he was also a bulldog to the other side when it was very needed.
Keith determined that a Forensic Accountant was needed to give him accurate information regarding the vast amount and complicated financial accounts invoked. Once again, this was invaluable in obtaining the best possible outcome for me.
Keith has been the best of the best for me.

I hired Keith Royal to represent me in my divorce in 2011. Mr. Royal guided me through every step of this difficult process with extreme professionalism and more personal attention than I could have ever imagined. My divorce was contested, emotional and very bitter. However, Mr. Royal was able to negotiate effectively on my behalf and bring the case to swift and very acceptable conclusion. He was able to negotiate in such a manner to keep my case out of the courtroom, saving me the cost of additional legal fees, and for this I am extremely grateful.
Keith Royal is a good man, and a very good attorney. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Posted by a Domestic Violence client
I have been a paralegal for 25 years and have met a lot of lawyers in that time who practice in the field of family law. My dealings with Mr. Royal have always been positive and professional. When it came time for my own son to utilize the services of an attorney, the first attorney I called was Mr. Royal. I had seen for myself the results he gets for his clients and wanted him on my son's side!
Mr. Royal handled my son's divorce several years ago. He knew my son had limited funds, as did his then wife. He handled the divorce for a very reasonable amount of money and my son was divorced in less than three months with agreed upon terms. He did exactly what he said he was going to do regarding my son's divorce case and was very professional throughout the case. It was very easy to get in direct contact with him and he was good in that he took the time to speak with my son numerous times during the divorce process to answer any questions my son had.
Two years later he handled my son's custody modification action. Again, Mr. Royal handled the case for a reasonable amount of money and was very helpful throughout the entire process. He kept my son informed every step of the way and again and he was very good about returning phone calls and/or e-mails to him regarding the case. My son was able to get a very favorable result as a direct result of Mr. Royal's expertise and professionalism.
In April of 2014 my son found himself in a family violence situation involving my granddaughter. As family violence actions move very quickly through the system my son needed a lawyer to go with him to court 3 weeks after the action was filed and was very apprehensive and nervous about the process itself. Mr. Royal explained what would happen at court in great detail which eased my son's nervousness. They went to court and came out with an amazing result in my son's favor! Mr. Royal really helped us in making sure my granddaughter was safe!

Hi all,
I have a menu in the blog displaying some links and I would like that some visitors can activate additional links in the menu adding a parameter in the url of the page they are visiting, something like:
The query string
?new saves a value in a $_SESSION variable, so the visitor sees the additional links in all pages of the blog, until he make a sort of logout adding
?out to the end of the URL and everything return back like before.
I understand that is a sort of login, but I don't want that my visitors have to register. Is a temporary solution, that works good for me and I need it for the next two or three months.
The problem is that in my site I use WP Super Cache (version 0.7.1). It's a very good plugin, and I want to use it, but I would like to know if it is possible to exclude some visitors if exists a certain SESSION variable (or a cookie).
I gave a look to the No advert for friends plugin, but I don't understand exactly how it works - I tried also to use Super cache hooks, but no way to make them work.
I've found a quick and dirty solution: I added an if statement in wp-cache-config.php to check if my SESSION variable is set and in this case the Super cache Plugin is deactivated. It works, but I'm looking for a more elegant solution... so, any help would be very very appreciated.
In addition, it seems that the cache is active also when logged users visit the sites... is that correct or there's something wrong?
Thanks in advance!

I am a new to the server world, and I need some assistance setting one up.
Here is my question: How can I host multiple websites on one server...with one public IP address...with Apache, without having to have registered domain names for each website?
I would like to be able to type in my public IP address from anywhere...and have the ability to view any particular website on the server. Perhaps...by typing this into a browser address bar for one website--http://xx.xxx.xxx.x:80, and this into the address bar for another website--http://xx.xxx.xxx.x:81.
I'm not sure how to do this; I haven't been able to find tutorials or guides for this goal.
I am using Apache 2 on Ubuntu Server 12.04. My server computer is going through a home router (is using the router's public IP address).
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Trenton Brinkley scored 15 points and Dallas Kimball won its third Class 4A state championship in four years, beating Amarillo52-37 Saturday.
Kimball's title run is one of the most impressive in recent state tournament history. Dallas South Oak Cliff won four consecutive 4A titles from 2005-2008, but later was stripped of the 2005 and 2006 championships for using ineligible players.
Brinkley scored 11 in the second quarter as Kimball re-established control after Amarillo rallied from a 9-0 deficit in the opening minutes. Kimball (25-7) led by 13 in the fourth before Amarillo got within 43-37 when John Hood made consecutive 3-pointers.
Kimball sealed it on alley-oop dunk on a pass from Jawun Evans to Brinkley with 57 seconds left.
Hood led Amarillo (28-6) with 11 points

Knicks' Stoudemire Likely Back on Friday
The Knicks are getting some good news before the playoffs. Power forward Amar'e Stoudemire, who has been out since March 24 with a bulging disc in his back, may be ready to return late this week, giving the Knicks a much-needed second scorer to take the weight off of star forward Carmelo Anthony.
Stoudemire was ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Celtics and is doubtful for Wednesday against New Jersey, leaving Friday's game against Cleveland as his likely return date. Knicks coach Mike Woodson said Stoudemire will still be a starter when he returns. He's averaging 17 points and eight rebounds this season.
—Kevin Clark
Parise's Goal Tuesday Snaps a Dubious Streak
Before he scored 33 seconds into Tuesday's Game 3 of his team's playoff series against the Florida Panthers, Devils forward Zach Parise held an ignominious distinction: He had fired 12 shots on goal without putting any in the net. Entering Tuesday, no Eastern Conference player had racked up so many shots in this postseason without scoring.
Parise had finished the regular season with 31 goals, second-most on the team. "Zach wants to be a difference-maker," Devils coach Peter DeBoer had said before Game 3. "That's what makes him great. He knows it's going to come."
—Mike Sielski

I had the pleasure of coaches these young men between 2000-2007 @ Bishops, except for Motale, Vickerman, Carr, Lane, Lleyds. Gresse, Whitfeld, Swiel. My all time coaching hilite was the 2006 first XV!
Is Guy Whitfield still playing?
Pretty sure Pete Haw played 10 in '05. How is he on the wing now? Surely Chezy Arendse- a man who to this day still holds the record for most individual tries scored in a single game (8 tries)?
Highest representation for each would help.

Between 1990 and 2000, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism along with many other religions grew at a record pace, due heavily to immigration and conversion. During this same period of time the number of people who call themselves Christians dropped by 9 percent. Meanwhile, 98 percent of churches experienced non-growth or declines in attendance.
Rajendra K. Pillai was born in Calcutta, India. Having grown up in a Hindu nation and in a Muslim neighborhood, he was acutely conscious of being in the minority as a Christian believer. Rajendra has a passion for relating to and reaching people of other cultures. He has an MBA in Global Economic Development from Eastern University in St. Davids, Pennsylvania, and conducts corporate training in cross-cultural and management issues for organizations including the USDA, National Institutes of Health, the FBI and several other public and private organizations.

#1 Jan 31, 2009
Was this photo taken to show the "hundreds" of people that use the bike path? Looks like it was taken just to show the not so good background, instead of the people that use this "linear park"(as the city prefers to call it to make it sound like more than it is). Don't think widening Colton avenue would have be a better itea?
#2 Jan 31, 2009
Can't widen Colton Avenue onto OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY. The bike path is on the railroad property... just ask Gary Grossich what happens when you illegally build on other people's land.
#3 Jan 31, 2009
the City PAYS the railroad to LEASE that property (unlike Grossich,who never paid the railroad a dime)
#4 Jan 31, 2009
or should I say,WE the TAXPAYERS pay the railroad to lease the land that Grossich to used for free.
Colton First is a misleading name:Grossich First is more like it!
#5 Feb 1, 2009
Using that logic, then are we not, as tax payers,countiually paying to use the bike path?

I'm starting university, but I've not made up my mind yet: I like both physics and maths. I pretty much know what mathematical research is about, but I've no clue about physics. Can anyone suggest some reading (easy stuff) to get an idea of what theoretical physics is all about when it comes to research?

Well, I have published all my posts but, I cannot see how to actually publish the site itself...seems like it should be easy, but I can't seem to find where to do it.
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance.
What do you mean "publish"? It's already there, if I am looking into the right site.
okay, I have to add /blog/ to my domain name.
Is there a way to change it and not use /blog/.
Actually, I'd rather not.
Thank you for taking your time to help. I am grateful.

AUSTIN — Laid-off Texas workers seeking unemployment benefits soon will have to be tested for illegal drug use before receiving weekly payments of as much as $440.
"If you've got a drug problem, there are ways that we can help you to get that licked," Gov. Rick Perry said when he signed a drug-screening bill the Texas Legislature passed this year. "But we are not going to entice individuals to not to be responsible."
Also, motorists involved in hit-and-run accidents will face more severe punishment for fleeing if the collision results in fatalities or injuries.
Rural Texans applying for concealed handgun licenses will be allowed to submit inked fingerprints from Department of Public Safety offices, thanks to a bill Rep. Drew Springer, R-Muenster, authored.
Current law requires getting digital fingerprinting at specialized centers, most of them located in urban areas more than 100 miles away.
Those are among the more than 1,000 new laws the Legislature passed during the seven months it was in session, and most go into effect Sept. 1.
Measures range from fewer tests for high school students to making it more difficult for pimps and human traffickers to exploit their victims.
The region's legislators said they were pleased with the laws.
"I think, overall, we accomplished some great things," said Rep. John Frullo, who authored two human trafficking laws and other measures.
Other passed legislation includes an annual 3 percent cost-of-living increase for retired teachers.
The bill was authored by Sen. Robert Duncan, R-Lubbock, who also authored more than a dozen successful bills.
Rep. Four Price, R-Amarillo, who also passed more than a dozen bills, authored a measure requiring motorists with a child on board to make sure the youngster is buckled up in a booster seat.
Of the various bills Rep. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, successfully pushed, one will authorize law enforcement agencies to sell confiscated firearms and keep the proceeds, rather than destroy them.
Rep. John Smithee said passing what are known as local bills is important.
"I think we were able to do most of the local issues that we had to resolve," Smithee, R-Amarillo, said.
"I had a professional prosecutors' bill for a couple of counties in the district, Parmer County and Oldham County."
A few laws have already gone into effect, including one by Frullo and another by Rep. Ken King, R-Canadian, and by Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo.
One of Frullo's bills, which passed unanimously, protects Texans' email from state-level snooping but not from the federal government. One of King's measures allows public schools to sell food items at fundraising events.
In addition, one of Seliger's bills allows community college students to get their associate degrees if they meet the minimum number of semester credit hours, "unless the institution determines that there is a compelling academic reason for requiring completion of additional semester credit hours for the degree."
On the other hand, there are some bills that won't become law until Jan. 1, including one Duncan co-authored.
Known as the Morton Act, the bill Duncan and Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, successfully pushed aims to avoid wrongful capital murder convictions by making it hard for prosecutors to suppress evidence.
The legislation was named after Michael Morton of Williamson County. Morton was wrongly convicted for the brutal murder of his wife and served 25 years in prison because the prosecutor hid key evidence that would have proved his innocence.
The legislation is "an important milestone in the journey toward justice in Texas," Duncan said the day Gov. Perry signed the bill in front of Morton, the bill's authors and other legislators who pushed for the measure.

Jacob the Jeweler To Head to the Big House?

So Jacob the Jeweler, né Jacob Arabov, is finally catchin' the case, as Master P would say. The AP is reporting that he of the diamond necklaces and stretch Lexuses (sorry) has pleaded guilty to falsifying records and giving false statements regarding Detroit's Black Mafia drug ring. As part of his plea bargain, prosecutors have dropped the money-laundering charges Arabov, previously faced; but he still is looking at 46 months in prison and a $2 million fine, though he has not yet been sentenced. One thing is sure, though: The plea probably pissed off Busta Rhymes, who defended Arabov in Vanity Fair last year, saying: "The charges are a bunch of bull@#!*. Anybody that affiliates themselves with people that are from the street, they always go the extra mile to investigate them why would Jacob come this far, purchasing a $12 million building on 57th St. — why would he do anything illegally?" Sigh. Oh Busta. If we're going to start asking questions like that, then we're also going to have to ask why you started sucking.

My office is cursed with a very unreliable network. From time to time things just seem to stop working - the servers are all fine. We think the fault lies in the wires and routers between our computers.
My team looks after a large number of Windows servers and workstations. Each PC runs a number of distributed applications, hence any computer could potentially need to talk to any other computer.
The servers all run a monitoring application that allows us to guarantee the health of the PC and all the processes that run on it, but we do not have anything that will let us judge the health of the network that connects all our servers together.
Is there some application that would allow us to monitor the health of the network? Preferably this would be distributed amongst our machines so that we can look at the network from more than one perspective.
I'd like to be able to do basic stuff like pings but also higher-level stuff such as sending simulated transactions from one machine to one of our servers.
Any suggestions?

Cops mistakenly converge on wrong home in Struthers
A case of mistaken identity nearly roped a Struthers family into one of the largest drug sweeps in the area this year.
Doreen Fox of Lewis Street, Struthers, was home with her 30-year-old son Wednesday morning preparing to leave for a doctor's appointment when she noticed movement outside the home. She opened the front door to a flood of local and federal police.
"They [police] were in my front yard, my rear yard; they had my house surrounded. When I opened the door to see what was going on, there was an officer with a gun out not far from my stomach," she said. "I am still shaking."
Officers informed Doreen they were looking for her 24-year-old son, David Fox, in connection with a large-scale heroin operation.
The problem is David Fox, at least the David Fox from Lewis Street, is a third-year law student in Cincinnati and working for a government agency in Columbus during the summer.
Local, state and federal agents did fan out across the area Wednesday in search of 62 people wanted in a major heroin ring that has operated around the Youngstown area for several years.
By the end of the day, 32 people had been taken into custody — 16 on state charges and 16 facing federal charges. Police and federal agents still are searching for the remaining 30 suspected drug dealers.
Doreen Fox said she had to make it clear to officers standing at her door that her son, David Fox, is not one of those drug dealers. Her other son called David in Columbus to inform him, and David thought his older brother was joking.
David Fox said he was stunned to find this was no joke; police were actually looking to arrest him for illegal drug sales — even going through the family garden in search of illegal substances.
"They were kind of just rummaging around. Then they went into the garden and were kind of just sniffing around. We are growing parsley, basil and other stuff, but they were really interested in the basil," she said.
Doreen said the officers had a current picture of her son and did not at first believe there was a case of mistaken identity. She said after much discussion, the officers realized the mistake and were apologetic to the family. The police were at the house about 15 minutes and at no point were rude or disrespectful, she added.
Doreen still wants to know how such a mis- take could happen. She is grateful her son was not home at the time of the incident because she fears he would have been taken into custody without time to explain.
Bob Balzano, resident agent with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, acknowledged that a mistake in the identity of one suspected drug dealer led police to the Fox household, but he stressed that officers did not forcefully enter or search the home. He confirmed officers apologized to the family for the mistake.
"The two men showed the same name and some other particulars, but the agents did what they were supposed to do — asking questions, following up and then moving on," Balzano said.
Balzano said officers did catch up with the wanted David Fox. The Mahoning County Sheriff's Department website does show a David Fox currently in the county jail.
The federal indictment for which the series of raids took place centers on the distribution network of a group of dealers mainly on the East Side of Youngstown.
According to the federal indictment, Luis Angel Martinez, 33, of Youngstown would obtain heroin from sources in Youngstown, New York City and Buffalo, N.Y., for distribution in Youngstown. The indictment says Martinez would then distribute the drugs to lower-level dealers for distribution in the area.
The indictment says the lower-level dealers also would take turns staffing a cellphone used by Martinez for drug distribution.
David Fox does not appear in the federal indictment, but there are 37 people facing state charges and their names have not yet been released. Those 37 people are facing charges ranging from possession of drugs to trafficking in heroin.
The culture takes a direct hit in The Valley . A mild snafu slightly impedes the capture of the cultured David Fox who now is in custody . All's well that ends well .
"Doreen still wants to know how such a mis- take could happen."
Doreen, like you never ever made a mistake before.
What better cover story would you want - third-year law student in Cincinnati and working for a government agency in Columbus during the summer - I know, wrong David Fox ... just saying...
Life..this is not just a simple mistake. She has a right to question how this happened. Maybe if the gun was pointed at you, then you would feel that it was more then a simple mistake.
It's a good thing the Struthers Police were polite and didn't over react.It could have been a bad situation.Good Job Struthers Police,for using common sense.
The Fox family does have a right to know,how this mix up happened.
"Life..this is not just a simple mistake."
Then what is it? Sounds like a mistake to me.
"She has a right to question how this happened."
Sounds logical to me...
"The two men showed the same name and some other particulars, but the agents did what they were supposed to do — asking questions, following up and then moving on," Balzano said.
"Maybe if the gun was pointed at you, then you would feel that it was more then a simple mistake."
Nah, had a gun pointed at me before, matter of fact couple of times, it is what it is. Over and done with, move on. Thankful no one was hurt and they weren't a burglar(s) pointing at her instead.
oh my gosh this is funny, yet tragic. I got on the site to follow up with all the drug raid news....and I see this. They really need to make sure they are at the right place before barging into some ladies house! I am not surprised by this story- this whole county can just be.....ridiculous. It wasn't burglars- it was the Struthers police. I know it's there job and all but they have been setting up this sting it seems like for a while now, I feel like they should kinda know who's who and "get to know" the people they are trying to arrest instead of just having this "were police, it was a mistake, oh well" mentality.
You are whack-o...
I would be a heck of a lot more pissed than this lady if the P.D. (lots'o'police) showed up at my door, and tramped through MY basil. She is the one who comes across as being very kind and nice.
People make mistakes? Sure, like if I say I don't want ketsup on my burger, but I get it anyway?. That would be a "mistake". A group of Feds and local P.D. who in about two minutes were going to blow her door in if she hadn't walked outside just in time to see them. All she got was a gun pointed at her? (Yeah, I'm sure only one gun, duh...)
No problem you say, because you have had guns pointed at you? And that is not a problem? To quote you "it is what it is..."?!?!? What it IS is a FRIGGIN GUN pointed at whoever!
(and remember, I am thinking DEA, which in this case DOES NOT stand for "Drunk Every Afternoon". A FEDERAL agency with FEDERAL computer data bases. If it was Struthers PD, I could see them just Googling "David Fox" "Oh look! Struthers!". I would hate to think that the Feds use Google to find suspects. Well, O.K., they do, but I kind of hope not in this kind of operation.)
Soon tha boys in tha hood will be changin their names to throw off tha police . Howzabout if they take on tha mayors name ?
MLC75 - I promise you that if the Struthers Police were the ones who made the decisions things would have turned out different. The do not have any sense, take my word for it.
Lifes2Short - If you or I make that kind of "mistake" we would be in jail. I do not know the circumstances of you having a gun pointed at you because it could have been a friend or family member with an unloaded gun for all I know (and think). Anybody with a brain in their head would be terrified if they walked out their door and had guns pointed at them. Believe me, there were more than one and had she not walked out her door I would bet my last dollar they would have busted in without knocking (like the law says they have to) and pointed a gun at her while they ripped her home apart looking for the WRONG man. I wonder how Lifes2Short would have felt if this scenario would have happened to her as it has many times in Mahoning County, Struthers included.
The whole County should be cleaned out of the crooked politicians (I don't see them getting DUI's (they just get driven home). If it's the Feds that investigate them though there is no hope of that happening after reading about this incident. It seems they are at least incompetent and at most are fully aware, as are the majority of people who live in Mahoning County, there are so many illegal things going on with the police, lawyers, etc. It is almost like it is accepted and nothing can be done about it. It is sad and probably will go on and on.
Hold on now,..
Where I'm pleased to find strong support for enforcement. I'm a bit unsettled by how it's channeled and expressed. See no matter who, what or why mistakes and or errors are infringements. Where in cases like this they're traumatic and can be deadly,.. in most unfortunate cases.
Hence, where at times there are mistakes made in practically every agency of operable performance. But in a operation like that this kind of mixup is bizarre,.. to say the least.
See this is no jay walking enforcement where a dispatcher eating donuts sends a patrol person out to a wrong location. Or where a minimally informed cop just pursues any individual that just so happens to bear the like name of a suspect. This is a multi agency operation where precision and accuracy has to be stressed and exercised from the initialization onset.
Where in process information is collected, suspects verified and intel distributed upon planning and order execution. Which is so vital that it isn't to be glad handled or non verified before actionable order to deploy on the location is given. It's extremely sensitive in nature, those weapons are real, the ammo is live, the pursuit is channeled and the provisional authorization of deadly force is given.
In this instance it apparently went so inexplicably awry. To such a degree that agents went sent to the wrong location based upon mere name. Which is so counterproductive and unintentionally dangerous. That internally there absolutely has to be a thorough review. As to refine operations and avert such from happening again to anyone else.
Where for various reasons sensitive in nature. The lady can't be given much more in explanation than informing her it was a sincere apologetic mistake. So it's without question she's not only due an apology. To include if any personal property was damaged via the incident. Being no fault of her own she's to be duly reimbursed.
It's an instance where just like no matter who we are or what we're tasked to do, none of us are absolutely immune to error. Although we also all have rights and families and and they're not to be infringed upon. However, when and or if they are mistakenly breached. If sensibilities are mutually extended we not only limit such errors. But we make amends in respectable accord as to not alienate nor victimize anyone of innocence.
"You are whack-o..."
Wow, big words, I'm impressed.
"A group of Feds and local P.D. who in about two minutes were going to blow her door in if she hadn't walked outside just in time to see them. All she got was a gun pointed at her? (Yeah, I'm sure only one gun, duh...) "
It's OVER and done with. Comprehend? A mistake was made, you move on. Once again, Thank God there is no one hurt in it. But it's OLD news now. What more you going to do.....uh, nothing. You can B@#ch all you want but it'll happen again and again. A shame but it will, won't be the last time....
""People make mistakes? Sure, like if I say I don't want ketsup on my burger, but I get it anyway?. That would be a "mistake".""
Then what would you call it Einstein? They did it on purpose? Not a mistake? smh at stupidity.
@ Lifes2Short
You're having difficulty here because you're making no sense. To include nothing you're contending is neither within tolerance nor implored nor orchestrated in any form of policy.
Where in contrast I'm sure the sensibilities I've offered as unbiased understanding. Will suffice as enlightenment that doesn't require any combative choosing of sides. That would neither goad, implore nor promote. Any pitting of one against the other as it's not right, needed, necessary nor desired.
See there's manner and diplomacy required when errors occur. Hence no matter who, how or why mistakes are made. In response nobody wants to hear " So what ",.. and they don't have to either.
See that's not only all these citizens wanted and needed to know. But, it's sensible, they're right, you're wrong,.. and it's the truth.
See those in the profession of enforcement don't desire law abiding members in the community. To neither view, identity nor depict enforcement as problematic nor their enemies,.. in fact it's the direct opposite.
Where expressed as what could be distinguished as your combative support. Doesn't bode well for neither, relations, understanding nor the mutual respect and appreciation that's sought and required.
Problem is as individual to individual and my not being in anyway affiliated with Vindy. Myself as a by chance independent voice when time permits. I just don't have the time to be present to re-address everything you contend to people.
Now at the risk of your not appreciating my differing perspective. I'll ask can you sensibly respect and or at least understand that rationale?
"See there's manner and diplomacy required when errors occur. Hence no matter who, how or why mistakes are made. In response nobody wants to hear " So what ",.. and they don't have to either."
So, what do you propose they do? I'm sure they learned from the mistake (and one does when one makes a mistake). And I'm sure it'll happen again. So what diplomacy can you make? Give them money? Pay off there mortgage? Help in changing there names? Sue the cops? The city? What?
All I'm saying, it happened, a apology was issued and no one got hurt and that should be it. What more can be done? Explain....
@ Lifes2Short
Asked, answered and duly stated,.. and again.
QUOTE - In this instance it apparently went so inexplicably awry. To such a degree that agents went sent to the wrong location based upon mere name.

Granted there were some proverbial pot stirring in regard to pro and con posturing being expressed here. For which in not singling you out in any malicious manner. Your brand of support was sending the wrong signal.
One where your " So What " posture of support. Wasn't accurately nor effectively placing protective forces in the right light nor the situation in proper perspective.
See where by required posture, presence and approach of agents. The ordeal was no doubt traumatic for the citizen of the locality error of dispatch,.. and both citizens and agents realize and respect that.
Hence if damage were inflicted it's to be duly and respectfully expressed and presented. Which I'm sure sensible resolve between parties can be achieved.
That's what I've stated, I'm saying in manner of clarity. And it's to be noted that neither contends, depicts, pits nor renders. Either nor neither party as indefensible nor of any inexcusable infringement.
Where in contrast be it intentional or unintentional. Your expression was unquestionably presented in a insensitive " So What " manner.
For which isn't the purpose, policy nor projection of protective forces. For which I only interjected to provide some clarity to the populous in making that known.
See support is one thing but to express it in a manner where law abiding citizen's are to be in anyway infringed upon or alienated.
Isn't accurate, right, correct or appreciated by anyone. Nor is it the message that neither community or protective forces can effectively function by.
That said I'm confident any discrepancy in regards to this matter. Will be addressed and reasonably resolved in a manner that all can and will understand, respect and appreciate.
The unfortunate reality is you were correct in stating such an incident likely will happen again.
But it's to be explained that such an error isn't intentionally sought. But just as unfortunately such could and will likely occur again.
Where the desire and goal is to avert it, but with working in a realm where human error isn't totally avoidable.
As evidenced by having actually retrieved an actual photo and information on mere " by name " reference. That prompted targeting and pursuing someone that wasn't criminally applicable at all,.. that's an indefensible error.
This in a mutual / collective way this is a teachable moment. One where we set a tone of manner, recognition, understanding, and respect. That can aid and assist in reviewing how the error occurred. As well providing insight for others as when and if it ever happens to someone else,.. don't take offense just give credence to rational resolve.
See protective forces aren't the " Bad Guys " and yet neither are law abiding citizens either. So I'd venture to say I highly doubt the agency nor resident will be unreasonable.
I'm quiet extensive here because just like at times there are improper acts committed by citizens. Unfortunately in a imperfect world there are cops and or agents that's acted in improper, inappropriate and indefensible manner.
For which we're to appreciate that neither is the case here and I'll refuse to allow citizen or members of enforcement to be maligned without justifiable cause.
Which it's a clarified impartiality of mutual support. That has to be expressed, implored, exercised and understood for effectively compliant and functional adherence.
Thus nowhere in that does a " So What " inference. Indefensibly apply as actionable process, procedure or pomp and circumstance.

A 1939 Virtual World: GM's FuturamaDespite my distaste (to put it mildly) for GM today, in the 1930s the company had an inspiring vision for an America remade by highways. Such was the heroic futurism of that time that after seeing Futurama, the GM pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair, each visitor received a small button, reading "I have seen the future." I purchased one of these on eBay a few years back.
Had I a time machine, high on my list would be a long visit to this fair. As the documentary The World of Tomorrow shows, Futurama was a highlight of any visit. Coming as it did in the midst of the Great Depression and the growing threat of a new European War, the fair in general, and Futurama in particular, offered Americans a glimpse of what could be in a peaceful and prosperous world transformed by modern technology.
For GIs returning from World War II, getting a new car, a suburban tract-home, and lighting out on the well paved open roads made Futurama seemingly come true. It would be decades before US oil production peaked for good, and never recovered, leaving us an importer of oil. And no one had any idea of what all the millions of cars would do to humans (from their waistlines to their credit-lines) or even the earth's atmosphere. There are no traffic jams, road-rage, or potholes in Futurama. And yes, I find it endlessly amusing that Matt Groenig named his animated series Futurama; I've seen one episode, but this darker version of the Jetsons shows how modern irony is so different from the unalloyed technological optimism of 1939: science, then, had THE ANSWER. We would move forward out of a "collective yearning of an era" to make that future (Gibson 32).
With its quarter-mile tall buildings, 100 mph superhighways, and re-engineered city cores, Futurama is still impressive, though to those like me who hate the boring uniformity of Postwar suburbia and believe that suburbia as it now exists is not sutainable, Futurama can seem like a promise never realized or, perhaps, a carmaker's bait-and-switch. GM promised us a sleek Corvette; did we end up with an tiny Aveo or a hulking Suburban instead?
Today GM's vision can seem a bit sad...and the fair-goers really believed that this world would come.
The Legacy of FuturamaNo one knew this then, of course. This is why Gibson's story is
|Image of 50s Suburbia from "Thinking Smaller"
The original Levittown model had two bedrooms a kitchen/dining area and a living room. Built with limited frills, the developers raced to construct them at previously unheard of rates. Most units only had what we would consider basic appliances, while the garage was not even in the picture (Unplanner).
Now we have crumbling interstates that, I've read (and misplaced the source) were intended to last a few decdaes until they could be replaced by an even greater set of roads promising 100mph travel like the German Autobahns. That future, like Mars missions and space colonies of a million residents, will not happen in our lifetimes, if ever. In fact, I would argue forcefully that The Dream, to cite Gibson's story again, looks more like this today. Ironically, it is not far from the sort of life that the Middletons lived in the Westinghouse film, just with more stuff and a larger home.
Continuing The Dream
|Today's Futurama? Image from Alter's Post, Cited Below
H2PIA seems at once consonant with the values of Futurama and guilty of some of the same sins. Building this community would require levels of fossil-fuel use, new construction, and legislation that seem unlikely on our side of the ocean. and what about those not so lucky to live in this ecotopia?
We cannot just convert the wretched, poorly built MacMansions of today into this sleek Danish future; most of our furthest-flung suburbs will more likely become slums inhabited by renters as our urban cores resurrect, a process underway now amid the housing crisis.
By the way, H2PIA's site has not been updated since 2006. So much for that brave new world. But I'm a pessimist by nature. I think in America we'll make do with a failing system until a crisis comes, then devise ad-hoc solutions.
Gibson's Virtual LifeWilliam Gibson, whose story "The Gernsback Continuum" explored how our collective unconscious can hold onto lost technological utopias, visited Second Life to give a reading, as he might at a bookstore or university.

G4S Aims to Boost East Africa Sales 50%, Expand in South Sudan
G4S, the world's biggest security company, aims to increase revenue in eastern Africa by 50 percent as it expands into Ethiopia and Southern Sudan and seeks acquisitions.
Sales will increase to $250 million by 2013 through "organic growth," Adam Miller, managing director of East Africa for G4S, said in an interview on May 20 in Kenya's capital, Nairobi. G4S had global sales of 7.4 billion pounds ($11.9 billion) last year.
The regional office covers Madagascar, Mauritius, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, and Rwanda. G4S plans to enter Ethiopia by August following a political "change in outlook" toward welcoming foreign investors, and Southern Sudan after it declares independence on July 9, he said.
G4S earns most of its African revenue from companies such as Barclays Bank of Kenya Ltd. and Standard Chartered Bank Ltd. or individuals, while in the U.K. and U.S. it provides more services to governments.
The company aims to expand its African operations beyond basic activities such as providing security guards, alarms and emergency response, and develop businesses such as secure transportation of shipments from the ports of Mombasa in Kenya and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, and handling cash for commercial and central banks, Miller said.
G4S runs a training academy in Nairobi to teach new skills to fraud and corruption investigators, and would consider bidding to manage Kenya's first privately-run prison, Miller said. Kenya's Finance Ministry has approved the idea though it hasn't invited bids yet, he said, citing a letter shown to him by the prisons commissioner.
'Capacity Issue'
"Kenya has got a desperate capacity issue as well as a standards issue in detention," Miller said. "The opportunity is to address both of those problems by using the private sector financing capability and expertise."
G4S is "highly acquisitive" and has identified "a few" potential purchases in the region, Miller said, without providing more details. The company is also considering a listing on the Nairobi Stock Exchange, he said.
G4S is the biggest non-government employer in East Africa, with 35,000 workers, Miller said, citing data the company has collected from labor ministries and industry associations. The Nairobi-based Federation of Kenya Employers and Kenya Private Sector Alliance said they could not confirm the numbers.

Brewers oversee the production of many different styles of beer. They develop recipes that consist of various types and blends of the four basic ingredients: barley malt, hops, yeast, and water (and occasionally fruits, wheat, rice, and corn). Brewers add these ingredients into brewing vessels in accordance with the style of beer they are brewing and their own recipe. Brewers also tend to the brewing equipment. They monitor gauges and meters, as well as turn valves, open hatches, and occasionally stir. According to Brewers Association, as of March 2015, craft brewers provided an estimated 122,000 jobs (including serving jobs in brewpubs) in the United States.

Post-9/11 Detainee Cases On Supreme Court Docket
By LINDA GREENHOUSE
Published: November 3, 2003
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2— With cases generated by the Bush administration's response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, now reaching the Supreme Court in substantial numbers, the court faces a basic decision apart from the merits of any individual case: whether to become a player in the debate over where to set the balance between individual liberty and national security.
As early as this week, there may be an indication of whether the court intends to remain on the sidelines, leaving the last word to lower courts that have so far deferred to the White House, or to weigh in with the same assertiveness it has displayed so often in recent years on some of the most bitterly disputed issues in American life.
The first cases in the queue on the court's docket are appeals filed on behalf of two groups of detainees at the United States naval base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. These appeals frame an issue that at some level all the cases, despite their considerable differences, have in common: the degree of deference owed by the judicial branch to the executive for actions taken in the name of national security in a crisis.
In these cases, two British citizens, two Australians and 12 Kuwaitis, all seized in Pakistan or Afghanistan during operations led by the United States against the Taliban, are challenging a ruling by the federal appeals court here in March. That court ruled that no federal court has jurisdiction to consider the legality of an open-ended detention that has now lasted more than 18 months without charges and without review by any impartial military or civilian tribunal. A wide array of groups, including former senior military officers, retired American diplomats and prisoners of war from World War II, are urging the justices to hear the appeals, which the administration opposes.
Later this year, probably before its winter recess, the court will decide whether to hear a United States citizen's challenge to his open-ended detention as an ''enemy combatant.'' The man, Yasser Esam Hamdi, an American-born Saudi who was apparently captured on the battlefield in Afghanistan, has been held without access to a lawyer in military brigs, first in Virginia and now in South Carolina, since April 2002. The federal appeals court in Richmond, Va., ruled in January that he was not entitled to a lawyer and had no right to challenge the basis for his continued detention.
The justices have also been asked to hear a Freedom of Information Act case challenging the Bush administration's refusal to release information, including their names, about the hundreds of people, nearly all of them Muslim immigrants, who were arrested in the weeks following the terrorist attacks. Overturning a ruling by a federal district judge, the appeals court here ruled in June that the information, even concerning those found to have no connection to terrorism, was exempt from disclosure.
Unlike the small category of cases the Supreme Court is jurisdictionally obliged to consider -- the campaign finance case now awaiting decision, which Congress instructed the court to hear, is one example -- these appeals all fall within the completely discretionary part of the court's docket. If the court decides not to hear them, no explanation is likely to be forthcoming, only the word ''denied'' on the weekly list of orders that dispose of new appeals. The votes of four justices are required for the court to agree to hear a case.
The court applies several unofficial criteria for selecting roughly 75 cases to decide each term out of the 8,000 that are filed. These appeals meet none of those criteria.
The issues raised have not produced conflicting rulings in the lower courts -- the main test the court uses to choose cases worthy of its attention -- and the appeals were not filed by the solicitor general's office, which enjoys a very high success rate in getting its cases accepted, if not always decided favorably.
Indeed, Solicitor General Theodore B. Olson is urging the court not to hear the Guantánamo detainees' appeals, Rasul v. Bush, No. 03-334, and Al Odah v. United States, No. 03-343. His brief argues that the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit properly interpreted a 53-year-old Supreme Court precedent to hold that ''aliens detained by the military abroad'' have only those rights that are ''determined by the executive and the military, and not the courts,'' and that these cases consequently do not merit Supreme Court review.
The government's formal responses to the other pending appeals -- Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, No. 03-6696, and Center for National Security Studies v. United States Department of Justice, No. 03-472 -- are due at the court in early December.
The question, then, is whether the justices will nonetheless see these cases as simply important enough to command the Supreme Court's attention despite the absence of the traditional factors that govern discretionary review. The appeal filed by Shearman & Sterling, an international law firm with offices here, on behalf of Fawzi Khalid Abdullah Fahad al Odah and 11 other Kuwaitis held at Guantánamo invokes the court's robust sense of institutional pride and concern for the separation of powers, a particular interest of the conservative majority.

What happens to one's mind when a person becomes elected to public office? Does the law of supply and demand automatically elude the person when they go on the public payroll?
Recently, several politicians joined the crowd that is calling for the lowering of ethanol production requirements because of the effect on corn and grain prices. Using grain and corn has led to higher prices for cattle, pork, and chickens ...
Hey, politicians! It is not the ethanol that's causing the problems. It is how it is being produced!
Using corn and grain to distill into alcohol is the problem. Why not use products like sugar beets and sugar cane like the other countries in the world are doing? Using high-starch grains is very inefficient compared to using high sugar content plants.
Could it be that special interest groups have worked the halls of Congress to convince lawmakers to subsidize corn-based ethanol? The evidence is clear in this regard.
Our country needs alternative energy production like bio-diesel, ethanol, wind energy, atomic energy and clean burning coal plants.
What we don't need is to produce energy with food products and our water from the Ogallala.

Working on latest autonav and wordpress. The problem is: the code "[autonav display="posts,nothumb,title,list"]" does nothing... what am i doing wrong?!
Working on latest autonav and wordpress. The problem is: the code "[autonav display="posts,nothumb,title,list"]" does nothing... what am i doing wrong?!
Also, i would like to display all my posts on my homepage...
When using
display="posts", you need to specify something in the
postid parameter. Try this:
[autonav display="posts,nothumb,title,list" postid="status:publish"]
to select from published posts. Or, equivalently,
[autonav display="posts,nothumb,title,list" postid="status:*"]
where the asterisk means, "the same status as the current page or post," i.e., published.
1x10^99 times: THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!! it worked awesomely!!!! Now i just need to add some jscript and css to make it a bit more "dynamic", but this plugin is awesome! loved it! wish i had a brain to program something like this!
Congratulations for this plugin!
You are most welcome, and thank you for replying here.
wlindley: could you, please, answer me something? how could i use autonav to do the same with pages that i did with posts? i need to have specific pages links inside another page and i wanted it to use the autonav once again. i loved the system in this. and, also, i would like to see if i can use some css configuration to make it a bit more dynamic. But i cannot find a way to refer to the tds or to the imgs or to the titles of the posts. When i do so, i end up destroying my other td, a tagged objects. How would i be able to do it?
sorry the part about using childpages i allready did... now i only have problems with css references...

Liverpool v Arsenal – Player Ratings by AM
Mannone – 6
He wasn't disturbed in the first half, but didn't look quite confident handling crosses and aerial balls. Made one good save from Shelvey, but spilled another from the same player and must be thankful to Vermaelen for being first to the rebound. The saves weren't anything you wouldn't expect a goalkeeper at this level to not deal with.

It is a very good thing someone stood up to the party of massive deficits, massive debt and massive government! Thank goodness for the word NO when it comes to Obama's agenda! The American people spoke loudly in the last election and we will hold all those accountable at the ballot box who voted against the repeal of the over-reaching, unaffordable and unconstitutional Obamacare!

It would be great to see the congress working on some projects that they could actually get accomplished, like: term limits, elected officials to be subject to the same laws of the land as all other citizens, salary limits on polititians and transparency of their travel and expenditures, transparency and contol on lobbists, two year time limit before retired polititions can go to work as lobbists, review and reduction of polititions retirement pay (it should be relative to their time in service and they should not receive it while serving prison time), etc. This alone would save the american tax payers millions of wasted dollars. An annual CPA audit report on the Federal financials, the same as required with corporations.

Can "YOU" believe that, Mitch McConnell declared (who is he, "GOD" speaking for every living thing on this Planet?), that President Barack Obama's legislative agenda is "over," but (there's that magic "but" word, for more hyperboil in front of the tv camera's of "rhetoric or semi real reality"), said GOP lawmakers are willing to work with the White House to do what they "think is right for America." Here's what's right for America. The Patriot Act's money laundering provisions, where are they today?. Why the tobacco industry feared The Patriot Act. Rep. Michael Oxley removed a provision involving money laundering from the bill at the behest of the White House and GOP whip Tom DeLay, under pressure from Big Tobacco. We must get rid of all GOP deregulation "Loopholes that Allow Qualifying Institutions to Still Serve as Conduits for Tax Evasion then and report all to the IRS for collection." It's called money, greed, corruption, above the law, (ignore us common people unless they need your votes), career politician's who will take money from any special interest and say or do anything to keep his hold on power.

A famous West Hollywood hot spot is putting an end to bachelorette parties to protest the state of California's stance against marriage equality.
The popular libation joint The Abbey has thrown its hat into the political ring for the first time, preventing women from celebrating their pending nuptials until all marriages are recognized in the Golden State.
"We love our straight girlfriends," said bar owner David Cooley. "But it's also a slap in the face to my customers and my life that we can't have that same celebration."
The Abbey is a world famous bar that caters primarily to homosexual men. It has twice been named the "Best Gay Bar in the World." On most Friday and Saturday nights, The Abbey serves over 10,000 patrons including packs of straight women who come to (cough) enjoy the male dancers.
Brian Rosman, spokesman for The Abbey, told the Daily News that the bar needed to take a stand for marriage equality. "It was just kind of, enough is enough," he said.

Spain's unemployment rate surged past 27 percent to a new record in the first quarter of 2013, official data showed Thursday as a deep recession ravaged the eurozone's fourth-largest economy.
A record unemployment number also emerged in neighbouring France, the eurozone's second-biggest economy, as the labour ministry said jobseekers in France surged by 36,900 in March to 3.224 million, beating a record set in 1997.
Spain's new figure put its jobless rate just below that of bailed-out Greece -- the highest in the European Union at 27.2 percent.
Hundreds of people, mostly youths, gathered Thursday evening near the Spanish parliament in Madrid in response to a call by a hardline protest movement for demonstrators to "Besiege Congress" indefinitely to force the government to quit.
The protesters chanted "We are not afraid" as they marched from three different points in the centre of Madrid before converging in a square in front of parliament which was protected by police barricades.
Police said 1,400 officers would be deployed to prevent violence.
Before the demonstration started police arrested four members of anarchist groups suspected of plotting to set fire to a bank and 11 people who blocked access to a university.
Some held signs that read "6.2 million reasons" in a reference to the latest jobless figures.
Spain's jobless rate leapt to 27.16 percent from the previous quarter's figure of 26.02 percent, and reached a huge 57.2 percent among those under 25 years old, the National Statistics Institute said.
The number of unemployed climbed by 237,400 people to 6.2 million, it said in the latest gauge of damage wrought by the collapse of Spain's property bubble in 2008.
Spain, once the motor of job creation in the 17-nation single currency area, is now struggling through a double dip recession brought on by the collapse of the boom.
Its economy contracted by 1.37 percent last year, the second worst yearly slump since 1970, and the government forecasts it will shrink again by between 1.0 percent and 1.5 percent this year.
In France March was the 23rd consecutive month of rising unemployment, as Socialist President Francois Hollande struggles to revive a stagnant economy that is threatened with recession.
Hollande has pledged to curb the unemployment rate to a single-digit figure by December.
The French labour ministry did not provide a current unemployment rate, but said it was at 10.2 percent at the end of 2012 and remained below the 10.8 percent record set in 1997.
The surge in unemployment is also a major headache for Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, whose conservative Popular Party was swept to power in a landslide general election win in November 2011 on the back of promises to reverse a tide of rising joblessness.
Rising unemployment has caused evictions to soar, overwhelmed food banks with demand and forced tens of thousands of people, particularly youths, to leave in search of work abroad.
The number of households in which all eligible members are unemployed reached 1.91 million in the first quarter, the statistics office said.
Rajoy's government has reformed labour laws to make it easier to hire and fire workers and imposed harsh austerity measures which he says are needed to curb the public deficit and help the country save 150 billion euros ($196 billion) by 2014.
His government was due on Friday to unveil a further package of economic reforms.
On Wednesday, Rajoy told parliament the job outlook this year "will not be good, but it will be less bad than in the preceding years.
"Next year we will have growth and jobs will be created in our country," he added.
London-based analyst Raj Badiani of IHS Global Insight warned in a note that the latest figures "suggest that Spain lacks the tools to break free from the recessionary spiral" and said it needed extra short-term measures to support employment.
