According to sources, it was built for $217 million by WET Design, which is the same company that created the fountain at the Bellagio Hotel, in Las Vegas. The 900-foot long water show uses 6,600 lights, 50 colored projectors, and hundreds of servos, all computer controlled and synchronized with music to offer some of the most sophisticated water entertainment since Zeus decided to impregnate Danaƫ.

Wyclef Jean's Wife Provides Haiti With Housing

More than three months after the January 12th earthquake, over 1 million Haitians still live in tents. With the rainy season approaching, Yele Haiti has taken a big step towards supplying housing for the people of Haiti. Spearheaded by Wyclef Jean's wife, temporary homes are being built to provide tenants with a dry and warm place to live.

The units are made of wood and cement with metal roofs and last several years, or until permanent housing becomes available. The temporary homes can also house up to six people, as they are 12 feet by 12 feet in size. Women and children will be the first ones to live in the facilities.

“They’re getting wet from the hard rains. The temporary houses have been tested and keep out rain, even on days and nights when it rains nonstop," says Claudinette. "“What we take for granted is so important to everyone."
