DIED. Ruth Brown, 78, Big Band singer turned R&B diva, known for her seductive delivery and ability to sway between tenderness and swagger; in Las Vegas. In the 1950s the fledgling Atlantic Records--for whom she recorded hits like Teardrops from My Eyes and (Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean--was called "the house that Ruth built." After a 25-year lull, she won new fans in the '80s, performing in the Broadway stage revue Black and Blue and winning a Grammy for the 1989 album Blues on Broadway...

...That show of support, however, isn't likely to sway the Vatican's thinking. Regardless of the shortage of future ranks for the priesthood, most Cardinals do not see allowing married men into the priesthood as the solution. "The value of the choice of priestly celibacy, according Catholic tradition, has been reaffirmed, and the need for solid human and Christian training, for seminarians as well as already ordained priests, has been reiterated," the Vatican said in its statement released Thursday afternoon, which did not mention Milingo. The note also cited discussion in the meeting of the requests of dispensation from...

...mixed feelings about Zune. I know that the wireless connectivity will not sway me, but I'm not sure it won't be a selling point for younger people who are more often surrounded by crowds of peers. I just don't understand why Microsoft chose to launch a 30GB hard-drive-based player when the kids these days want cheaper, cuter flash players - not just the iPod nano but the SanDisk Sansa and many others. Today's hard drive business is all about video playback, and the Zune certainly offers that, but Apple's movie and TV store will...

...experts think? maggie Age: 23 months "Shoes, shoes, shoes" Maggie chants while doing a rhythmic yet fit-like dance and points to her feet during Half Man Half Biscuit's David Wainwright's Feet. It's more the gleeful trance of an ecstatic clubber than a toddler's sway. So far so good then - although admittedly our reviewer had just that morning responded in the same way to the washing machine on spin cycle. tom Age: 5 "I like the one about eating cakes best." Franz Ferdinand's Jackie Jackson, a cautionary tale about a gluttonous...

...housing quandary is unlikely to sway enough voters away from Chavez to give opposition candidate Manuel Rosales a genuine chance at beating the heavily favored incumbent in December. The protesters outside the ministry are proof that widespread popularity of the government's social development programs that provide cheap food and free health care outweigh most anger over housing. They were there to decry their hardships and to berate the housing minister for not delivering new houses. But interspersed with those chants they hollered, "Long live Chavez...
