UK Shuts Down Iranian Embassy

After Iranian protesters attacked the British Embassy building in Tehran, Iran, Britain pulled out its officials from the capital of Iran and closed down the Iranian Embassy in London.

The hours long assault was reminiscent of the 1979 seizing of the U.S. American Embassy.

On Sunday, Iran's parliament approved a bill to downgrade relations with Britain.

With Iran's nuclear program underway, relations with Iran and most countries has become even more difficult.

Because of the latest attack on the British Embassy in the Iranian capital, a Norwegian government official decided to close its embassy in Tehran due to security concerns.

Hopefully relations with Iran will improve.

Occupy Sadler

On Tuesday, November 15, Texas Christian University emailed it's students informing them of the planned 6.5% tuition increase, sparking rage across campus. All over Twitter and Facebook, students were posting statuses and tweets stating how they cannot afford TCU already, and with the tuition increase, may cause them to have to leave TCU next school year.

With that, many students got together and planned through these social networking sites, to protest the tuition increase in front of Sadler, calling it "Occupy Sadler".

With the tuition increase here at TCU, only financial aid increases along with it at 6.5%. One of the biggest concerns though is that scholarships do not increase either, meaning students with scholarships will end up paying more.

Affording TCU is difficult, but hopefully the point of the students will come across at the protest at Sadler on Thursday, November 17.

Kim Kardashian Files for Divorce from Husband Kris Humphries

After just 72 days of marriage, Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from her husband Kris Humphries on Halloween morning, October 31, 2011.

The reality-TV star stated in her released statement that, "After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage," she said. "I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don't work out as planned. We remain friends and wish eachother the best."

What makes this divorce more interesting is that Humphries was taken by surprise by the divorce. On Monday afternoon, he put out a statement through his representative saying, "I love my wife and am devestated to learn she filed for divorce."

"I am committed to this marriage and everything this covenent represents," he said. "I am willing to do whatever it takes to make it work."

I actually don't know whether to be surprised by this or if this was totally obvious, judging from their wedding special on E!. It looked like the couple loved eachother, but Kardashian was taking control over everything about Humphries, including where his dogs sleep, to what he wears at the wedding.

Are you surprised by the Kardashian-Humphries split?
