Afghan girls, scarred by acid, defy terror, embracing school

One of the biggest stories on New York Times is when young women are getting sprayed with acid in their faces by men on motorcycles. Some young ladies can't see as well and some actually need surgery to remove their scares. This is mainly happening to the girls who go to Mirwais school for girls. One day the men on motorcycles were actually circling the school spraying 11 girls and even 4 teacher but 6 went to the hospital. Students are d to death to come to school. According to sources this is happening from a  movement called the Taliban, that is trying to banned girls from school. Mr. Qadari the principle of Mirwais School for Girls called a meeting and told the parents to bring their daughters back to school and their no reason to hold their daughters back. After a few week later a couple of students returned. More students kept returning and they wound up have full class rooms.

I think they should find the people thats apart of the Taliban and lock them up or even kill them in that matter because what they are doing is wrong. It's also good that the principle is involve in helping the students and trying to do what ever it takes to help them. The girls should just stay in school no matter what happens. Im also surprised that so many girls came back to school after what happen, I think that is actually brave.

nerves were struck after bomb threats at the University of Pittsburgh

This week there have been talk about a couple bomb threats happening at the University of Pittsburgh. According to New York times the bomb threats happen in february. They said that it was an explosive dives in the girls bathroom , warnings and threats on the wall. There so many bomb threats students are scared for their lives. Students even want to move off campus, their class are being disturbed by these corruption and it is near the end of the semester. Police haven't found a bomb yet so have been showing up on campus and watching. They don't really have any suspects yet.

I think that who ever did it is probably a student and if not teachers should be checking to see if there's students that they never seen and don't belong. I think they should check all dorms because this should keep happening. If the police haven't been finding nothing but it was an explosive device in the girls bathroom something is seriously wrong. Maybe It's a girl thats doing it but it has to be a reason. If it was me living on that campus I would move  would fill like I'm in danger. Its like they shouldn't really go to school because your going there and when there could be a bomb in the building about to explode, so your really putting your self in danger.

Wall street slides on job report

At the start of trading on Monday stocks on Wall street had at least dropped 1 percent. Prices also rise when traders were given better investments. 12 percent was gained in the beginning of 2012. Sources say,"The United States economy created only 120,000 net jobs in March, about half the number that analysts had expected and about half what had been added in each of the previous two months."The beginning of 2012 was their best being in a new year in 14 years. The employment rate has gone down to 8.2 percent in March then went to 8.3 percent in February. Companies have reporting their financial performance of this week. Since the employment report was made Asian stocks were the first markets to trade. Statistics shows lower activity, however the recovery of the economy have been on and off.

In my opinion they should get other peoples opinion on the street and see what they think they can do better to level up and also make more money so more people can get employed. Also if they know they are doing something wrong then change it because some people that don't have jobs wound up not being able to pay bills to living on the street. Some of these net jobs are good but is it really good enough is it really going to make a difference.
