Consequently, Carey is faced with quite a task. Because difficult though it may be to pick the right combination of bikini and high heels for her next video, her future actually rests on her ability to create more of the catchy pop tunes (or heaven forbid, goopy ballads) that launched her career a decade ago. As her last album proved, making that type of music isn’t always easy to do.

...services in branches, managed by a division of Canada's Toronto Dominion Bank but staffed at least partly by Wal-Mart employees. Wal-Mart figures that perhaps 20% of its customers do not have bank accounts. It is trying to work its way around U.S. banking regulations that currently forbid entities such as retailers from running banks. That's where partner TD comes in. Who knows? Maybe K Mart will apply for a loan...
