Huffington Post: Obama To Sign Executive Orders On Equal Pay Posted: 06 Apr 2014 07:58 AM PDT President Barack Obama will sign two new executive orders on equal pay for women Tuesday, Politico reports. The executive actions coincide with "Equal Pay Day" -- the date that symbolizes how far into 2014 women must work to earn the same amount of money men earned last year. Both executive orders mirror provisions of the Paycheck Fairness Act, which Congress has twice failed to pass. One would prohibit federal contractors from retaliating against employees who share their salary information with each other. The provision is inspired by Lilly Ledbetter, the namesake of the first bill Obama signed on equal pay in 2009, who worked for nearly 20 years at Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. before discovering that men in her same job with equal or lesser experience were earning significantly more money than she was. The second executive order will instruct the Department of Labor to create new regulations requiring federal contractors to report wage-related data to the government, in the hope that it will hold them more accountable for salary differences based on sex or race.

Huffington Post: Funerals Start For Victims Of Washington Mudslide As Search Continues For More Victims Posted: 06 Apr 2014 08:00 AM PDT By Jonathan Kaminsky DARRINGTON, Wash., April 5 (Reuters) - Mourners gathered on Saturday to remember victims killed in Washington state's mudslide, the first of a series of memorial services for the more than two dozen dead, even as the search continues for more victims. A funeral for school custodian Summer Raffo, 36, was taking place in Arlington, a town only a few miles from the site where a torrent of mud swept her car off Highway 530 on March 22. Her brother later pulled her body from the vehicle. Another service was held in nearby Darrington for retired librarian Linda McPherson, 69, who was found dead in the debris of her home. Her husband survived when the mudslide engulfed the dwelling along with about three dozen other properties on the outskirts of the community of Oso, which lies in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains northeast of Seattle. "She was a sweet, mellow, gentle woman," said Peter Selvig, who served on the Darrington School Board with McPherson. In all, three individual memorial services were being held on Saturday, and a service for four victims was scheduled for Sunday. So far, 30 people have been confirmed dead by the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's office, and recovery crews were still searching for another 13 people still unaccounted for, according to county officials. The medical examiner, Jane Jorgensen, told Reuters via email that her staff was working over the weekend at the site of the slide and in the office identifying more victims, but will not provide any official updates until Monday. Roughly 450 people from 117 different organizations were helping the search efforts, officials said. A community candlelight vigil was planned Saturday in Darrington and more than 300 people were expected to attend, said Michael Duncan, the pastor of Mountain View Baptist Church who was organizing the event. "This is an opportunity to begin the healing process," Duncan said. Over the next few days, funerals are planned for 5-year-old Kaylee Spillers, whose father and two siblings are among the dead and missing, and Alan Bejvl, 21, whose fiance, Delaney Webb, was also killed in the slide. Recovery efforts have been hampered by rain creating treacherous conditions and raising the risk of further slides and flash floods. More rain and runoffs of melting mountain snow are forecast. A team of volunteer veterinarians was rotating shifts on Saturday to tend to rescue dogs that have been deployed to help in the search for more victims. The Washington State Department of Agriculture said it is deploying its "Reserve Veterinary Corps" for the first time. The group of 135 animal health specialists will treat dogs for minor cuts, hyperthermia and damaged pads, as well as decontaminate them after exposure to hazardous material and other pollutants in the debris field. County officials are also organizing a "reunification" location and process so that survivors will be able to go to retrieve personal property recovered from the disaster site.

Huffington Post: 5 Staggering Statistics For Why We Can Never Let A Tragedy Like Rwanda's Happen Ever Again Posted: 06 Apr 2014 08:02 AM PDT On April 6, 1994, a plane carrying Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana and his Burundian counterpart was shot down above the Kigali airport, crashing into the presidential gardens. Habyarimana's death sparked a deliberate campaign by extremist Hutus to exterminate Rwanda's Tutsi minority. Differences between Hutus and Tutsis go a long way back, but were aggravated during Belgian colonial rule over Rwanda and exploited by Habyarimana to strengthen his position among fellow Hutus. In 1993, after months of fighting, Habyarimana signed a peace treaty with the Rwandan Patriot Front, the Tutsi rebel movement based in Uganda. But tensions remained, and Hutu extremists seized upon Habyarimana's death to start a massacre among their Tutsi compatriots. The Hutu killing campaign lasted three months, until the RPF, under the leadership of now-President Paul Kagame, captured the capital in July 1994. Read More... More on Rwanda
