Real Housewives of New York City were back again last night with speed dating, runway walks, and hair removal, and the results are simply ridiculous. Ramona is asked to take another run at the catwalk. Given the fiasco her walk created last year I can only imagine that she's invited back as a publicity stunt. It's hard to say which is funnier, Ramona's zombie eyed expression or the height difference between her and all of the other models. One by one these tall, slender, professional models hit the runway and then there's Ramona and you have to look two feet lower.

Believe it or not is up to you, but there is a girl from Lebanon that is able to remove the crystal from her eyes and immortalized in the video, and news headlines are now busy talking with Crystal Tears Lebanese girl.

Obviously, one of the big stepping-stones in the evolution of this semi-symbiotic relationship was the advent of the star.

According to her CBS2 biography, the NYU grad has interviewed Bill Clinton, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, Diane Sawyer, Clint Eastwood, Warren Beatty and Annette Benning, and in her free time she "enjoys cooking, reading, checking out the local farmers markets, and tending to her 4-year-old Basset Hound."

Then you have her finance, Joe Francis, founder of Mantra Films. His footage of young girls flashing their breasts is the basis of his enormously successful Girls Gone Wild. Although he also created a Guys Gone Wild, it's the Girls Gone Wild that everyone takes note of. This, in part, because there have been accusations that some of the females depicted were minors or did not agree to being filmed. Joe Francis has spent time in jail and has pleaded no contest to child abuse and prostitution charges. Joe Francis, himself, has been the victim of sexual humiliation and extortion. The IRS has accused him of owing unpaid taxes. And that's just to name a few.

With all the buzz about Christina McLarty marrying a guy with a colorful past, not much has been written about their specific wedding plans

Joe Francis has such a colorful past that few have talked about what McLarty and Francis have decided, an honorable decision in favor of the GLBT community. They will not be getting married in the traditional sense but will have a civil domestic partnership. "We don't believe it's appropriate to be married until our gay and lesbian friends are afforded the same rights as us to legally marry in the United States," says Francis.

The Dutch come into this match as a bit of a wild card at this World Cup. It’s hard what to make of them at times. They have not looked convincing in South Africa, and I think most Dutch fans would agree. They had arguably one of the easier draws of the tournament. They had a very, very easy World Cup qualifying group that featured Norway, Scotland, Macedonia, and Iceland. But they get the results they’ve been expected to get in those matches.

When British tennis player Andy Murray headed into today’s men’s singles final of the 2010 Australian Open, he had hoped that he would not only defeat the world’s number 1 Roger Federer, but win his first Grand Slam title as well. But according to theglobalherald.com, it unfortunately didn’t happen for him, after Federer beat Murray by three sets to love, 6-3 6-4 7-6 (13-11), giving top seeded Federer his fourth Australian Open men’s singles title.

The Swiss player of course brought his usual excellent game to the court at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, hitting 46 winners in three sets compared to Murray’s 29. Murray did appear to be playing more defensively though.

After the match was over, an emotional Andy Murray said that Roger Federer was a lot better than him in the match. He then went on to say that one day, he hopes that he can go back there and win and said that he was sorry it wasn’t then.

That January 12th earthquake, which turned many of the buildings into rubble, may have killed 200,000 people, according to Haiti-News.net. There were no initial reports of injury or damage from today’s tumbler, but most Haitians were already moved to the streets and open areas since the last major 7.0 earthquake hit eight days ago.

Haiti: The United Nations announced Friday that its chief Ban Ki-moon would go to Haiti on Sunday to assess humanitarian needs and appealed to the international community to raise $ 562 million intended to help the Haitians.

Mr. Ban will travel to Haiti during a visit of 24 hours to show "solidarity with the Haitian people and UN personnel" on site, very affected by the earthquake.

On Friday, the organization brought the balance of the earthquake in Haiti among its staff to 37 confirmed deaths and 330 missing.

In contrast, death in the rubble of the hotel Christopher Head of the peacekeeping mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), the Tunisian Hedi Annabi, had still not confirmed Friday. "There are hundreds of missing persons in the hotel, and research is ongoing," said the spokesman of the UN, Martin Nesirky.

The organization estimates that 3 million the number of Haitians who need assistance.

The appeal for donations has been formally launched at the organization's headquarters in New York by the director of Humanitarian Affairs of the United Nations, John Holmes.

These funds will be made available to provide emergency food, medical supplies, water and tents, "said Holmes.

A score of countries, institutions and companies have already committed themselves to the tune of 268.5 million, according to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

A Haitian minister said Friday that more than 50,000 people were killed, 250,000 injured and 1.5 million left homeless in Haiti following the devastating earthquake last Tuesday. More than 15,000 bodies have already been collected and buried, said Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive.

Half of the money collected will go to food aid, of which two million people need urgent, "said Holmes.

"According to our estimates, 3 million people are severely affected by the consequences of the earthquake, about 9 million people in the country," he added. "30% of buildings in Port-au-Prince have suffered, and in some areas half the buildings are either destroyed or uninhabitable and loose," said John Holmes had a little earlier during a press briefing.

"We must rapidly establish refugee camps with points of water and food," he said.

Water is a major concern, and trucks of UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) began to bring in supplies of disinfectant tablets.

The United Nations also plans to set up schools in camps.

The main warehouse of the World Food Program (WFP) in Port-au-Prince, containing 6,000 tons of food aid, has been damaged by the earthquake, but not robbed as initially feared the agency, said John Holmes.

WFP is preparing to send supplies tailored to the situation, including millions of kits to eat without cooking. If the priority is "the search and rescue of survivors" still caught under the rubble, Mr. Holmes acknowledged that there was very little hope.

The International Red Cross estimated between 40 and 50,000 deaths.

Nephelococcygia has it's origins in Aristophanese, the Greek playright. It means "Could Cuckoo Land", his utopian city in the clouds in one of his plays. As such it has always had a secondary meaning of being a dreamer, of not paying attention to reality. For the point of the play was that such utopias do not work nor do they exist. Nephelococcygia is one of these constructed words: it originally had a very specific meaning and is now put to another but connected use.

Nephelococcygia also has a more modern meaning: the study of clouds. Or rather, cloud watching. While this is fun and all, it's slightly unfortunate that it has been described with this word with its connotations of being an otherworldly dreamer.

"Nephelococcygia is for cloud watching" Nephelococcygia is really something new to me. Nephelococcygia is a noun. The definition of the word -- the act of seeking and finding shapes in clouds. The word came from the play, “The Birds”, which was written by a Greek comic poet, Aristophanes, in 414 B.C. Have you done nephelococcygia lately?
