<p>According the a report released by the Pew Hispanic Center Monday, the immigration rate from Mexico to the United States has decreased, while the amount of Mexican immigrants leaving the United States has increased sharply. </p>

<p>From 2005 to 2010, only 1.37 million Mexicans immigrated to the United States, about half of the immigrants from previous five year periods. </p>

<p>Between 2005 and 2010, around 1.39 million Mexican immigrants returned to Mexico from the United States, more than twice the amount that have done so in past five-year periods. </p>

<p>Mexican census data shows that there are more U.S. born children living in Mexico, the likely result of their parents being deported, <a href="http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_20464559/pew-study-mexican-immigration-u-s-down-sharply">the Denver Post reported</a>.</p>]]>

<p>Agents allegedly took women to their hotel rooms before the president arrived for a summit meeting in Colombia last weekend. </p>

<p>Investigators are planning on interviewing the women involved in the case, which includes snipers and other agents who handle explosives. </p>

<p>Around 20 women were brought into the hotel, and many made it into agents' hotel rooms. </p>

<p>Senator Susan Collins of Maine, the senior Republican on the Homeland Security Comittee, said that she feared the women might have ties to groups that are hostile with the United States. </p>

<p>"Could they have planted bugs, disabled weapons, or in any others jeopardized security of the president or our country?" Collins said she had asked of the Secret Service.</p>

<p>Nine military personnel are also under investigation, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/secret-service-scandal-broadens-more-military-personnel-might-have-been-involved-in-misconduct/2012/04/17/gIQA9EouNT_story.html">the Washington Post reported</a>. </p>]]>

<p>Dr. Hafizullah Safi, the provincial health director, said victims ranging from 14 to 30 were taken to a nearby hospital after their school's water tank was poisoned. </p>

<p>Officials are blaming extremists that are working to stop women's education in Afghanistan. </p>

<p>Some victims lost consciousness while others reported feeling dizzy and vomiting. </p>

<p>A few of the women and school girls remain in the hospital in critical condition, <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/apr/17/afghan-schoolgirls-poisoned-contaminated-water">The Guardian reported</a>. </p>

<p>Although attacks on women are less common since the 2001 toppling of the Taliban government, periodic attacks on schools still happen. </p>

<p>Many of these attacks happen in the southern half of Afghanistan where conservative ideals still remain common. <br />

<p>The marathon began Monday morning with temperatures in the low 70's, scheduled to rise to 80's before the runners made their way to the finish line. </p>

<p>Race organizers gave runners the option to defer their run until the 2013 marathon. </p>

<p>"For the overwhelming majority of those who have entered to participate in the 2012 Boston Marathon, you should adopt the attitude that this is not a race. It is an experience," race organizers said in an email to those registered to run. </p>

<p>The top women ran the first three miles at a pace that would have them finished in 2 hours and 38 minutes, the slowest Boston Marathon finish since 1978, <a href="http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-boston-marathon-20120416,0,6211129.story">the Los Angeles Times reported</a>. </p>

<p>Although runners have to meet strict qualifications to participate in the Boston Marathon, race organizers urged non-elite runners to skip the race this year and try again next year. </p>

        <![CDATA[<p>George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch leader that claimed self defense after shooting Trayvon Martin in February, was charged with second-degree murder Wednesday, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/george-zimmerman-to-be-charged-in-trayvon-martin-shooting-law-enforcement-official-says/2012/04/11/gIQAHJ5oAT_story.html?hpid=z1">according to the Washington Post</a>. </p>

<p>Under Florida law, second-degree murder does not imply premeditation but instead says the crime was carried out with "a depraved mind regardless of human life."</p>

<p>Zimmerman turned himself in and will appear before a Seminole County magistrate Thursday. </p>

<p>Martin's parents applauded Florida special prosecutor for charging Zimmerman with second-degree murder. </p>

<p><a href="http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/04/11/zimmerman-to-be-charged-by-florida-special-prosecutor-report-says/">Martin's parents told Fox News</a> that they were pleased with the results but want more. </p>

<p>"The question I would really like to ask him is, if he could look into Trayvon's eyes and see how innocent he was, would he have then pulled the trigger? Or would he have just let him go on home?" said his father, Tracy Martin. </p>]]>

<p>Authorities say that the hospital workers involved in her birth have been suspended and are being investigated. </p>]]>

<p>Gov. Mark Dayton signed the bill Monday, which will allow county attorneys and assistant county attorneys to carry guns while on duty, as long as they have the proper permit. </p>

<p>The bill cleared the Legislature with a large majority of votes. </p>

<p>County attorneys offices can impose their own restrictions on their respective offices. </p>

<p>The bill began to gain momentum after Tim Scannel, a Cook County Attorney, was shot and wounded last year after successfully prosecuting a man, <a href="http://www.therepublic.com/view/story/14a7255fae974eb99b117c8a66e72d98/MN--Prosecutors-Firearms/">The Republic</a> reported. </p>

<p>The law will come into effect on Tuesday. </p>]]>
