942-8716. Fans line up to say goodbye to Ray Charles LOS ANGELES (AP) Fans of the late Ray Charles lined up Thursday to say goodbye to the influential singer of "Georgia On My Mind" and "What'd I Say" during a public viewing at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The Grammy-winning musician, who died last week at 73, lay in an open casket wearing his trademark dark glasses, adjacent to a baby grand piano with sheet music from some of his songs. The music was all Charles. Such favorites as "I Can't Stop Loving You" and "Born to Lose" played as mourners walked a long red carpet past his casket.

His initials were spelled out in a giant and made from white chrysanthemums and carnations, and one of Charles' colorful jackets rested on the empty piano bench. Hundreds of people including Mayor James Hahn streamed through, many of them stopping outside to sign guest-books or write a message on a large poster of Charles in performance.

The proposed ban has the support of two of Louisiana's biggest political forces: Christian conservatives in the suburbs and the rural north, and Catholics in New Orleans and the Cajun southwest. If the measure passes, Louisiana will join Arkansas, Iowa, Michigan and the Dakotas as the only states with such broad restrictions.

In November, California voters will decide a bond measure that would provide $3 billion for stem cell research and explicitly allow the cloning of embryos for curing BATON ROUGE, La.

(AP) Denny Bass' 9-year-old daughter has diabetes. So does Darell Hicks' 5-year-old daughter. But the two men are on opposite sides of the issue of stem-cell research using cloned human embryos. Scientists believe such research could someday lead to a cure for diabetes and other diseases or injuries. But Louisiana is on the verge of becoming the sixth state to ban all cloning not just cloning to create babies, but cloning to treat disease.

"Very few people who have children with diabetes agree with what I say," said Hicks, a Baptist-reared Roman Catholic convert who believes destroying embryos to obtain stem cells is immoral. Bass, who says the answer to his child's ritual of finger pricks and injections lies on the cutting edge of science, is unhappy with the heavy religious overtones of the debate.
