British songstress Corinne Bailey Rae burst into the pop charts like a bright ray of sunshine with her breezy 2006 single "Put Your Records On." Her self-titled debut, which featured the song, would go on to sell millions in the U.S. Rae's latest album, "The Sea," is a complete about-face, filled with darker, more complicated songs and imagery. In 2008, Rae's husband, Jason, died of an accidental overdose of methadone and alcohol. Rae withdrew from songwriting and performing for about a year, before re-emerging to finish "The Sea," which was released in January.

Corinne Langer, 13, spent much of last weekend on her sofa watching viedos and just being a "couch potato," but not for the usual reasons a teenager might have. The Clarksville resident has Crohn's disease, a chronic digestive illness, and she was just too tired to do anything more. Yet, she will be walking in the fifth Miles for Miracles event at Centennial Park on Sunday to raise money to benefit the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America, and she invites the public to join her. Despite her diagnosis almost two years ago, Corinne said she can handle the disease and almost anything else.

Allison Barnabe is soooooo tired of people asking her what it's like to be a triplet. It's just like being any other kid, she says. Fortunately for her, some of the attention has been diffused lately, now that she and her sisters, Nicole and Corinne, attend school with another set of triplets: Kyle, Dylan and Bryan Ruygrok. The six youngsters, all 12 years old, are seventh-graders at Ellicott Mills Middle School. Last year, said Principal Michael Goins, a third set of triplets, two girls and a boy, also attended the Ellicott City school.

When Severna Park senior Corinne Manuel started playing field hockey as an 8-year-old, she chose the goalie position for one simple reason. "I really didn't want to run," she said. Donning the goalie pads and guarding the net, however, Manuel found that being her team's last line of defense was not as easy as it looked. The turning point for her occurred during a middle school game of seven-on-seven when she dove at a hard shot to the side of the net and deflected it away. "I'd never dove for a ball before and suddenly I became very aggressive," Manuel said.

When I heard the buzz, I was skeptical. According to the international music press earlier this year, Corinne Bailey Rae, a curly-haired ingenue from Leeds, England, was supposed to be The New Thing. Comparisons to Sade, Minnie Riperton, Erykah Badu, Macy Gray, even Billie Holiday peppered just about every review I read on her. I rolled my eyes, but I was still interested. Who is this girl? I received an advance copy of her album months ago. And although Bailey Rae is seriously talented, I think some of the comparisons were a bit overblown.
