Submission + - Iran to Ban Women from Science and Engineering Classes (telegraph.co.uk)

Submitted by jasper160
jasper160 writes: An August 20th, 2012 announcement from Iran places restrictions on female university students. Iran will be cutting 77 fields of study from the female curriculum, making them male-only fields. Science and engineering are among those affected by the decree. The announcement came soon after the release of statistics showing that women were graduating in far higher numbers than men from Iranian universities and were scoring overall better than men, especially in the sciences.

Senior clerics in Iran's theocratic regime have become concerned about the social side-effects of rising educational standards among women.

Starting in the US and soon moving over to the UK after 4pm in Starbucks you will be able to order alcohol and plates from a tapas-style grazing menu. This is really a huge shift for the chain as it firmly moves them out of coffee house status.
On the grazing menu will be rosemary cashews, bacon-wrapped dates, flatbreads and chocolate fondue.
Wether the alcohol will be a hit or not who knows, Starbucks has firmly developed (especially in the evenings) as somewhere to go if you want to avoid drinking holes so to now bring the too together

What Facebook should of done is add their e-mail address as a secondary, and keep their current email set to the default. I'm sure nobody would of complained if they did it this way. Is it really that hard to think of something like this, instead of forcing people to use their email address instead and going behind our backs and changing our personal information? They can't say they didn't expect this kind of reaction, it's too obvious.
