Huffington Post: Red Cross: Syria Humanitarian Crisis Worsening

Posted: 04 Apr 2013 09:34 AM PDT


BEIRUT, April 4 (Reuters) - The humanitarian situation in Syria is worsening rapidly with some areas a landscape of "devastation and destruction", the Red Cross said on Thursday after a month which activists said was the bloodiest yet in the conflict.
About 70,000 people have been killed and millions displaced during the two-year-old uprising, the United Nations says. Civilians have been cut off from water, electricity and life-saving medical supplies, especially in rebel-held areas targeted by air strikes and ballistic missiles.
The Syrian government's restrictions on aid convoys have meant most supplies are distributed in government-held areas.
Peter Maurer, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), said aid workers had been able to do make more trips into opposition-held areas in the past two weeks, indicating Damascus may be softening its stance on convoys into such territory.
He said the workers were "not pleasantly surprised" by what they found in areas accessible for the first time, with the need for food, sanitation, water and medicine increasing.
"We saw devastation and destruction," he said.
"What we were able to achieve is not enough. The needs are growing exponentially while our ability to react is growing linearly," he said.
Convoys and volunteers for the Syrian Arab Red Crescent - the ICRC's partner in Syria - have been targeted during the civil war by both sides, who are suspicious of the group's neutrality. Several volunteers have been jailed or killed.
Maurer called for aid groups to be respected. "When we have a convoy on the road from Damascus to any part of Syria it is of the uttermost importance that this convoy is allowed to pass checkpoints and is not shot at," he said at the end of a three-day visit to neighbouring Lebanon, which has 400,000 Syrian refugees.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Monday that March was the bloodiest month yet in the conflict, with more than 6,000 people killed, a third of them civilians.
The group opposes Syrian President Bashar al-Assad but has monitored human rights violations on both sides. (Reporting by Oliver Holmes; Editing by Pravin Char)

Huffington Post: Connecticut Gun Bill Signed Into Law By Gov. Dannel Malloy

Posted: 04 Apr 2013 09:40 AM PDT

WASHINGTON -- Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy (D) signed a sweeping new set of gun control laws on Thursday, less than 12 hours after the Connecticut state legislature approved the bills in a late-night session.

In a signing ceremony at the state capitol, Malloy called the event profoundly moving, and said Connecticut had come together in a way that few places were able to do.

"Our leaders in Washington are so divided," Malloy said, adding that "there's no excuse" for lawmakers in Washington to oppose expanded background checks.

Secure yourself indoors (not Chaffee), stay there, and do not move about outside until further notice. The emergency alert system has been activated." However, the university's website appears to be down as of late Thursday morning.

Rhode Island State Police told the Associated Press that "there is no evidence of an active shooter."

Huffington Post: U.S. Immigration Regulation Costs $30 Billion Annually: Study

Posted: 04 Apr 2013 09:41 AM PDT

An economic think tank may have just discovered something about immigration that everyone can agree on: The regulation associated with it is expensive.

The U.S. immigration system involves seven different government cabinet agencies that receive more than half a billion requests a year from current U.S. citizens, immigrants and nonresident aliens, according to a study by the American Action Forum (AAF), a center-right organization run by former Congressional Budget Office director Doug Holtz-Eakin.

The result: tons of paperwork costing immigrants roughly $30 billion a year.
