Ukraine crisis: President Yanukovych and opposition sign deal to hold early elections
Presidential press agency says deal will be signed later today as death toll from violence reaches at least 77
Steve Anderson
Steve Anderson has been a member of The Independent Online's editorial team since summer 2011.
Friday 21 February 2014
The Ukraine president has signed a deal with opposition leaders, agreeing to hold early presidential elections after all-night crisis talks.
President Viktor Yanukovych also agreed to a national unity government and to make constitutional changes that would reduce the powers of the president.
The President and three opposition leaders Vitali Klitschko, Arseniy Yatsenyuk and Oleh Tyahnibok signed the deal in the Ukrainian president's office Friday.
The deal was also signed by two European Union foreign ministers who helped broker it in tortuous negotiations that lasted more than 30 hours.
"This agreement is not the end of the process. It's the beginning of the process," German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said after the signing.
Ukraine's newly empowered parliament has since voted to allow the release of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko after she spent more than two years in prison.
Legislators voted 310-54 to decriminalize the count under which she was imprisoned, meaning that she is no longer guilty of a criminal offense.
"Free Yulia! Free Yulia!" legislators chanted after the vote.
It's not immediately clear when she might be released from the eastern city of Kharkiv where she is serving her sentence
Her release came after shots rang out in Kiev's Independence Square and fights broke out among deputies in Ukraine's parliament this morning, despite the president's assurance that a peace deal had been reached with opposition leaders in overnight crisis talks.
The agreement was reached following hours of talks mediated by three EU foreign ministers. It says a new presidential election will be held no later than December 2014. It also says that Ukrainian authorities will restore within 48 hours a previous constitution that limits presidential powers, then name a coalition government within 10 days.
The agreement adds that the government will not impose a state of emergency and both sides will refrain from violence.
The signing came hours after Mr Yanukovych made concessions under pressure from European mediators.
Fighting had broken out earlier between deputies in Ukraine's parliament earlier when the speaker declared a pause during a debate on a possible resolution calling for Mr Yanukovych's powers to be reduced.
More violence on the streets of Kiev was reported today. Ukraine police allegedly shot back when protesters opened fire opened fire on officers between the main protest square in Kiev and the parliament building.
It was not immediately clear who was firing the shots in the square, also known as the Maidan, but the country's interior ministry accused the opposition of breaking the shaky truce by shooting at police.
The deal came as the Ukrainian health ministry put the number of people killed in this week's violence at 77, though opposition activists say the figure is over 100.

This morning, several thousand protesters milled around Independence Square, known as the Maidan, which earlier this week was rocked by street battles between protesters and police.
The scene in Kiev's Independence Square on Friday morning Yanukovych and the opposition protesters have been locked in a battle over the identity of Ukraine, a nation of 46 million that has divided loyalties between Russia and the West. Parts of the country — mostly in its western cities — are in open revolt against Yanukovych's central government, while many in eastern Ukraine back the president and favour strong ties with Russia, their former Soviet ruler.
In Brussels, the 28-nation European Union decided in an emergency meeting yesterday to impose sanctions against those behind the violence in Ukraine, including a travel ban and an asset freeze against some government officials.
Yesterday was the deadliest day yet at the sprawling protest camp in Kiev. Snipers were seen shooting at protesters there, and video footage showed at least one sniper wearing a Ukraine riot police uniform.
One of the wounded, volunteer medic Olesya Zhukovskaya, sent out a brief Twitter message — "I'm dying" — after she was shot in the neck. Dr Oleh Musiy, the medical coordinator for the protesters, said she was in serious condition after undergoing surgery.
Opposition protesters build barricades overnight Video footage on Ukrainian television showed shocking scenes yesterday of protesters being cut down by gunfire, lying on the pavement as comrades rushed to their aid.
Protesters were also seen leading policemen, their hands held high, around the sprawling protest camp in central Kiev. The Interior Ministry said 67 police were captured in all. An opposition politician said they were being held in Kiev's occupied city hall.
Interior Ministry members in plain-clothes are escorted out of Independence Square The US State Department on Thursday issued a statement warning citizens "to defer all non-essential travel to Ukraine due to the ongoing political unrest."
The Kremlin issued a statement with Putin blaming radical protesters and voicing "extreme concern about the escalation of armed confrontation in Ukraine."
The Russian leader called for an immediate end to bloodshed and for steps "to stabilize the situation and stop extremist and terrorist actions." He also sent former Russian ombudsman Vladimir Lukin to Ukraine to act as a mediator.

Hello all thought if share my incredibly scary Friday night. A young man high on narcotics drove into my living room just barely missing my son sleeping on the couch by the wall. Luckily were all okay, as for the 17 year old, let's just say he's going and away for real long time. In other words, cherish everything dear to you. It could be gone in the blink of an eye. I'm so glad my son is perfectly fine, as is my wife and I. |

Well we moved our computers and my guitar stuff over here to my inlaws. Not really sure whats going to happen next. We are recently married, and as a gift, our inlaws offered us 1 year rent free so we could save towards a house. But a recent offering may have us moving sooner than we thought. They said we can take as long as we need to save towards a house and move in now. The plus is, they have a woodshop already, IT HAS HEAT! I can work all winter long. Will take some cleaning and such, but much better than at my current house. The only reason we we're even renting the house we're at is due to the garage really. My wife hated it, she was always fearful of a car running into the house and look what happened… I hope the kid gets his ass handed to him. |

Yeah, who knows…me and my mother in law we're talking about the shop possibilities. Who ever owned the place before them actually had dust collection installed and all that.

Just waiting for BHN to update their cable cards so I can drop the SD box and go with just the card and on-demand access.
I wish that were true because it'd give me hope for getting some on-demand content in the future as well - but the cable boxes themselves use cable cards, per FCC requirements, so if it were a limitation of the card they would be affected too."Interactive features such as Video on Demand rely on the CableCARD Host device being an OpenCable Host Device and have nothing to do with the physical card. This makes the common use of the phrase "CableCARD 2.0" as a requirement for video on demand misleading, since two way services have been provided with the actual cards from the very beginning.[8]"I believe our HDHomerunPrimes are considered to be "UDCPs" (Unidirectional Digital Cable Product), meaning the box itself only supports one way.I think the problem is the on demand content uses lots of proprietary coding from the provider included only in their box's operating system itself, so retail two way cablecard devices are not available.Not the best source, but the part I'm referring to is cited with a CableLabs paper. Bottom two paragraphs of the Physical CableCards section.»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CableCARD#···bleCARDs

What do you when the hunky guy next door is being harassed by the town sheriff? You take the opportunity to get real neighborly of course!
That's exactly what Michaela Miller did for ex-Marine and local body shop owner, Scott O'Callaghan. A comment that was meant to simply put the rude behaving sheriff in his place opens the door for Michaela and Scott to get to know one another better and, BOY HOWDY, do they take advantage of it!!
Ms. Stuart has penned a terrific little novella that is full of heart and heat. Sometimes you read a book and it just makes you smile when the hero and heroine are so right for each other and the chemistry just clicks. One of the elements that immediately caught my attention was the easy dialogue. The conversations sounded real. Often times an author gets too grammatically correct and the dialogue comes off stiff and forced. Ms. Stuart's writing style is smooth and genuine.
You get a small glimpse at the family that Michaela was brought up in and can see how the strength of that family bond has made her very independent and self-assured. Those personality traits come through pretty clear when she confronts the sheriff and when she lets Scott know without a doubt that she is interested in more than just friendship.
Likewise, Scott wasn't brought up with quite the same strong family unit that Michaela experienced. He is slow to trust and is completely caught off guard when she stands up for him to the sheriff. He does have a bit of an alpha streak when it comes to Michaela and doesn't hesitate to take control when they finally give in to the mutual attraction.
For such a short story, Ms. Stuart packs in some steamy as well as heart-warming scenes. If you are looking for a quick little diversion you should seriously consider picking up a copy of Tempting Alibi. This was my first introduction to Ms. Stuart's work but it certainly won't be my last.

Bank of America will cut 30,000 jobs
Published: September 12, 2011
Tags: Bank of America, Bank of America Home Loans, BNPM091211, Countrywide Financial
Bank of America will cut about 30,000 jobs over the next few years in a bid to save $5 billion per year. The cost-cutting drive is part of a broader effort to reshape and shrink the nation's largest bank as it copes with fallout from the housing bust.
The bank announced the job cuts in a statement shortly after Brian Moynihan, the bank's CEO, disclosed the cost-saving goals in an address to investors in New York. "We're a much simpler company than we were 24 months ago," Moynihan said.
Bank of America stock was up 2 cents at $7 at midday. The stock has lost half its value this year, largely over problems related to poorly-written mortgages it acquired with its 2008 purchase of Countrywide Financial Corp. The bank faces lawsuits from investors and regulators over the sales of mortgage-backed securities that lost value after the housing boom collapsed.
The job cuts follow a revamp of the bank's top management team last week. Two senior executives, wealth management head Sallie Krawcheck and head of consumer banking Joe Price, left the bank. The bank also elevated commercial banking chief David Darnell and investment banking head Tom Montag to co-chief operating officers, reporting to Moynihan.
The latest job cuts will lead to a 10 percent reduction in the bank's work force of 288,000. The cuts come on top of 6,000 positions the bank has already eliminated through the third quarter of this year.
The Charlotte, N.C. company said it expects many of the cuts to come through attrition and eliminating unfilled positions. The bank says the number of job cuts isn't fixed, but that it expects they will total 30,000. It hopes to save $5 billion in annual costs through 2014 under a cost-cutting plan dubbed internally as "Project New BAC."

Former HTC China Head Hops To Electrolux
February 14, 2014 | Print | Comments | Category: Gadgets & Electronics, Telecom & WirelessRen Weiguang, former head of HTC China, has joined Electrolux as general manager of the China region.
Ren revealed that he took office on February 10, 2014. He said the reason for choosing Electrolux is because the company is like Nokia was in the old days with strength and good prospects. Ren also said that foreign companies still have good opportunities in the Chinese home appliances market, and the key issue is how they need to operate.
Before joining HTC, Ren worked as an executive in many well-known companies, including Compaq, Nokia, Siemens, Motorola and LG. He had been in charge of mobile phone sales businesses for a long time.
Electrolux is one of the largest home appliances makers in the world. Founded in Sweden in 1919, the company entered the Chinese market in 1987. However, due to an unsuccessful marketing strategy, the company has been facing a performance decline in China over the past few years.

VANCOUVER – Prison ministry efforts are uniting nation-wide to improve the ways they reach out to inmates, victims, and communities affected by crime. "We're trying to help our Catholic faithful be more engaged in service, outreach, reconciliation, and healing," said Bishop Gary Gordon of Whitehorse.

VATICAN CITY – If you haven't been to Confession recently, don't wait, Pope Francis told people at his weekly general audience. One may walk into the confessional with a heavy heart, but forgiveness brings freedom and lightness, he said.
The Edmonton Archdiocese will again offer a Day of Confession for those who may lack time to seek the Lord's forgiveness during regular hours. On March 18, priests in the Edmonton Archdiocese will be available to hear Confessions in their parishes all day, from morning to evening. The event was held for the first time a year ago as part of the Edmonton Archdiocese's centennial celebration.
EDMONTON – The turbulent times in Ukraine call for prayer and international political support, says the chancellor of the Edmonton Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy. Father Stephen Wojcichowsky said local Ukrainian Catholics are responding with daily prayer at some parishes and spontaneous liturgies.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) is coming to Alberta from March 27-30, 2014 at the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton. This will be the last of the seven national TRC events that have been taking place across Canada over the past four years. The Edmonton national gathering, together with the preparation leading to it, represents an important historical moment for First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples, and for everyone who calls Alberta home.
Alberta's Catholic bishops have invited the faithful to attend the national event of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) March 27 to 30 in Edmonton. The bishops also apologized to those who experienced physical and sexual abuse in Indian residential schools run by the Church.
The woman's words were desperate. Her baby was stillborn. She tried to reach her pastor to arrange burial for her infant and for whatever reason could not find him. Struggling with her grief, she called another parish clear across the city.
I have a question about St. Faustina's prayer: "Eternal Father, I offer you the body and blood, soul and divinity of your most beloved Son and Our Lord Jesus Christ in atonement for our sins and the sins of the whole world."
Two weeks ago, Judge Denny Thomas of the Court of Queen's Bench issued an unusual injunction which delayed implementation of Bill 46, the Public Service Salary Restraint Act, which had been hurriedly passed in the Alberta Legislature last December. This was the latest act in an ongoing drama of collective bargaining between the Alberta government and 22,000 provincial employees represented by the Alberta Union of Public Employees (AUPE).
Most of us have done it and we've probably all had it done to us. Someone has something against you and, instead of talking to you directly, they report you to your superior. Today, we would call this dysfunctional communication. One might also call it a form of abuse.

HOUSTON -- Former Texas Southern women's basketball coach Surina Dixon has won a federal lawsuit against the school in which she alleged gender discrimination and retaliation for her 2008 firing.
A jury awarded Dixon $730,000 on Friday.
Dixon was hired by TSU in March 2008 and fired three months later without coaching a game. Her lawsuit alleged she was retaliated against after she complained about gender discrimination and advocated for gender equity.

Voltage spike
- Posted: 01-29-2009, 11:16 AM
Post #1
The last month or so the voltage will spike to the point that the "check gauges" light and my radar detectors high voltage warning came on. Could a poor ground with the radar detector cause excess voltage requirements that would cause this spike? I do have it wired into the head console. It only occurred once or twice while I was just driving, but seems to happen when the truck is cold (really cold like around 0 or so seems to do it) and when I use the power seats, but like I said it has happened a couple times while doing normal driving. I was looking at the manual and the voltage regulator is built into the PCM, what about this battery heater circuit? How can I test this? Also, the voltage meter in the truck is about ¾ to the right of the scale (the two lines, not red to red) Thanks. |

Alternator, or Voltage Regulator (built into your PCM) would be the first places I would look. Good luck!!

A meter will only show you what you already know, and you'd have to be really ready with the probes. Is it really a spike, or does some "gadget" just think it is? Guess you could rig a meter into the lighter socket and just leave it. The next time you get the spike, look at the meter.

First check all connections between the battery and engine and alternator including grounds. A voltmeter will not catch a spike if its not that long of a event. a scan tool with graphing capabilities would work or a lab scope. Your radar detector has nothing to do with the problem. The normal charge voltage is higher the colder it is, a cold battery take a higher voltage than a warm battery.

President Obama would do well if he put aside his plan for peace in the Middle East and instead listened to the advice of people in the know. His way of peace will lead to, "One way in and no way out." If he continues to ignore experienced wisdom, not only will America's ally, Israel, suffer but so, too, will the United States.


text: German, French leaders send tough message to GreeceAugust 24, 2012 - 14:01 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande presented a united front towards Greece, telling Athens it should not expect leeway on its bailout agreement unless it sticks to tough reform targets, Reuters reported. The German and French leaders met in Berlin to fine-tune their message to Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, who begins a charm offensive in Berlin and Paris this week in the hope of persuading Europe's big powers that Greece deserves patience. Merkel stuck to her policy of deferring to a report due in September on Athens' progress by the "troika" of international lenders before discussing flexibility on the bailout terms, but said it was vital "that we all stay true to our commitments". "But we will, and I will, encourage Greece to continue on its path to reform, which has demanded a lot of the Greek people," she told reporters before a dinner with Hollande set to be dominated by Greece. "We want, I want, Greece to be in the euro zone, it's a desire we have expressed since the start of the crisis. It's up to the Greeks to make the effort that is essential for that goal to be met," said France's Socialist president, standing alongside Merkel. German sources who attended the working dinner later told Reuters the two leaders had vowed to work "together and with resolve" to overcome the euro zone crisis and had also agreed that "credibility" was the key to rescuing Greece. A source close to the French presidency said the two leaders had wanted to have a "straightforward" talk on a host of hot-button topics, from the euro zone to Syria. Hollande plans to visit Spain on August 30 and Italy in early September, the source said. Both countries have seen their borrowing costs shoot up this summer amid market fears that the euro zone may start to unravel. Top stories Armenia's rich cultural, historical and Christian heritage will be presented in travel guides and maps in German during the exhibition. The project envisages attracting 120 to 150 foreign companies, creating up to 2,000 new jobs within three years.

Hi all,
My wife and I will be spending a week in Kalispell, MT at the end of the month. We were hoping to be able to trail ride a day or two while we are there.
How are trail conditions right now? Any recommendations on where to ride? She rides a hardtail 29er and I'll be on my fatbike for what that's worth. Bringing snowshoes is also an option.
Also, anything else we should check out while we're there?

There are few artists better than Rivette at uncovering the magical (even at its most menacing) in the everyday.
Playful and tense, loaded with wry cine-references and propelled by an ebullient energy...It seems more obvious than ever how much Rivette has influenced a subsequent generation of filmmakers—Spike Jonze, Charlie Kaufman, Michel Gondry—and expanded our sense of the possible.
Le Pont du Nord is not one of Rivette's greatest works — honor goes to "Celine and Julie" or 1991's "La Belle Noiseuse" — but it's a useful compendium of his themes and it captures a very specific time, place, and sensibility.
It's another example of the ever-widening gap between the real world and the fantasies of a kind of artistic temperament more concerned with random self expression than with the expression of coherent feelings or ideas about love, alienation, outrage, politics or even of movie-making. It shrivels the imagination instead of enriching it. [7 Oct. 1981]

My first abstract in Photoshop. It was really fun, and I was delighted with the outcome. I thought it came out looking very much like the abstracts I see in ASA, but of course that is only my opinion. Trying something new, and liking it is very exciting. Putting it out there – a little scary.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The 2012 Essence Music Festival drew 413,000 people to New Orleans for the four-day event held over the Fourth of July weekend.
That's down two percent from the 422,000 who gathered for last year's festival, when it ran for three days.
This was the 18th anniversary of the festival, which features nightly concerts at the Superdome and free, daily "empowerment" seminars and community events at the city's convention center.
A fourth day was added this year to focus on youth and the next generation of stars, including Diggy Simmons, the OMG Girlz and Roshon Fegan.
Headliners included Aretha Franklin, Charlie Wilson, Mary J. Blige, Chaka Khan, Trey Songz, Chaka Khan, Fantasia, comedian Kevin Hart and D'Angelo.

Well fuck a duck sideways and call me Roadrunner… I don't know how to answer this one. Everything?
No, okay, I'll give a proper answer. Okay. So my favourites would have to be: (Top 3)
1. Laura Roslin saying goodbye to Cottle - makes me cry every time.
2. Laura Brown finding out Charles Latimer is married after the smooch– her desperate "no" breaks my heart.
3. Alexandra and Carl at the end of O Pioneers! – maybe it's because they're actually married, but the chemistry and love between them made me feel like such a voyeur. It was beautiful.
Special mention: Stands With A Fist deleted scene – when her dead husband is brought back to the camp and she wails and screams over him. If that scene had been in the theatrical release, the Oscar was hers.
I just really like the inside
literally all i see is

WASHINGTON (AP) — Most Americans with intellectual or developmental disabilities remain shut out of the workforce, despite changing attitudes and billions spent on government programs to help them. Even when they find work, it's often part time, in a dead-end job or for pay well below the minimum wage.
Employment is seen as crucial for improving the quality of life for people with these disabilities and considered a benchmark for measuring the success of special education programs. Yet the jobs picture is as bleak now it was more than a decade ago.
Only 44 percent of intellectually disabled adults are currently in the labor force, either employed or looking for work, while just 34 percent are actually working, according to a survey by Special Olympics and conducted by Gallup and the University of Massachusetts at Boston. That compares with 83 percent of nondisabled, working-age adults who are in the workforce.
"The needle has not changed in more than four decades," said Gary Siperstein, professor at the University of Massachusetts and one of the authors of the study. "We just can't move the barometer. And we've invested a lot of resources with lots of good programs around the country."
Intellectual disability can include conditions such as autism or Down syndrome. But the vast majority of cases are those with limited intellectual capacity — generally an IQ of about 75 or less — and limitations in handling basic life skills, such as counting money or taking public transportation.
About 28 percent of working-age adults with intellectual disabilities have never held a job. Even those who do manage to find jobs often end up working only part time and get lower pay than workers without disabilities, the study found. On the positive side, 62 percent of disabled people who work in a competitive setting have been there three years or more, showing they can work and stay with it.
"A lot of the problem has to do with low expectations," said Lynnae Ruttledge, a member of the National Council on Disability, an independent federal agency that advises the government on disability policy. "Schoolteachers don't have high expectations, and parents tend to be very protective of their children."
But attitudes are changing, she said. There are now more programs to help disabled children to gain work experience while still in school, making it easier to find a job. Many intellectually disabled people work in fast food, and retail chains such as Walgreens, Best Buy and Safeway that have stepped up to hire them.
Another hurdle is that about 30 percent of intellectually disabled people who work do so in sheltered workshops, where they perform basic tasks but are segregated from nondisabled workers. They can legally be paid less than the minimum wage under a 1938 federal law that allows wages to be based on comparing their productivity level with that of a nondisabled worker.
Disability rights advocates call these workshops an outdated relic and say it's discriminatory to pay them less than other workers. Critics say they don't do enough to build skills or help transition intellectually disabled workers into a mainstream work setting.
