Women to Be Banned From Saudi Arabia TV, Newspapers, Magazines
Thirty five hard line clergymen in Saudi Arabia have recommended that women are no longer depicted on television, in newspapers or in magazines. It is unknown what effect this recommendation will make on the Saudi Arabian society. I guess only time will tell how much pull they have on the administration.
The former information minister,Iyad Madani, caused a lot of trouble when he authorized music on television and women to interview men.
Women appear on Saudi television with their faces showing but most women appear completely covered in public. Women appear covered in newspapers and magazines. Western women appear in newspapers and magazines but their cleavage and arms are blacked out.
Saudi Arabia is criticized for not allowing women to drive, therefore making their husbands drive them everywhere. Men must come home to take women and children to doctors appointments etc.

Looking for a Federal Loan Consolidation?
Looking for a Federal Loan Consolidation?
Many students wonder if they should even bother with a federal student loan consolidation. The answer right now is yes.
When you consolidate your student loan, you will still have all the rights that you had with the original student loan. Make sure that you ask plenty of questions, but the main questions should be about what the new rate will be and what will the monthly payment be (when you are required to start paying.)
You will not be required to start paying until after you finish your degree, you can still qualify for forbearance and deferments just like you were able to do with your first loan.
Consolidate your federal student loan today and start saving thousands of dollars on interest.

Are Home Equity Loan Rates Affected Worldwide?
Whether we like it or not the entire world and it's economy has been affected by the financial crisis in the U.S. including home equity rates and lines of credit worldwide. This economic crisis is really a worldwide economic crisis, hitting some countries much harder than others.
It is not just Americans that are feeling the heat. Home buyers and refinanciers worldwide have been hit by the crisis. Buyers cannot buy what they want because it is more difficult to get a loan. Lenders cannot loan what they want to loan because they have stricter rules for lending. Sellers cannot sell their properties because there are so few buyers.
It is a catch 22. The only hope would be for the lending limits to be reduced so that more people can buy. I know that many think that this is what caused this problem in the first place but it is not. The thing that caused the problem in the first place was giving loans to people that did not qualify. Now, people with good credit scores who would normally be able to qualify cannot qualify.
Home equity loans and lines of credit have been hurt the hardest because home values have dropped, therefore the equity does not exist that existed a year ago.

India Pays People to Pee
India is actually paying its residents close to a dollar to use public toilets. Wow, that gives you an idea of what the sanitation is like in India. It is so worth it to them to keep the waste out of their water supply that they are actually paying their citizens to pee.Some citizens are probably making a living out of this new form of income, why not? The people in Musiri, a town in the Tamil Nadu state which is in southern India have the opportunity of making a little extra fast cash during their afternoon constitutional. The new pottys are said to be eco friendly, whatever that means. May be they are the cause of the recent global cooling.

What is the most important World News Right Now?
Do not forget that they hate America, they want the whole west annihilated, they hate Israel and they would get rid of America in a heart beat if they could.
Here at World News Right Now we will keep reminding the world that Iran is dangerous. The moment that we forget is the moment that they will strike and believe me, they are planning it right now.
They know that with a terrorist lover like Obama in office, they can do it easily, probably from the inside out. Let's not let them get away with it. Do not let your guard down remember that they are dangerous, especially their President.
