Easy create a new page and assign a path to it ie
latest_stories

enable php code

and add one of the snippets to it hey presto nodes on other pages

http://drupal.org/node/23220

the code below displays the last 10 nodes in a blog ---- blog could be replace with any node creating module ie story weblink ex ...

/**
 * the following displays a list of the 10 most recent weblog titles
 * and links to the full weblogs. If you want to increase/reduce
 * the number of titles displayed..simply change $listlength value
 *
 * This php snippet works with drupal 4.6.
 *
 */
$listlength="10";
$output = node_title_list(db_query_range(db_rewrite_sql("SELECT n.nid, n.title, n.created FROM {node} n WHERE n.type = 'blog' AND n.status = 1 ORDER BY n.created DESC"), 0, $listlength));
print $output;

then go to

http://www.mysite.com/?q=latest_stories

thats it

Right after posting my original question, I remembered this could be a use for taxonomy. I simply created a term for "headline", pointed users to that taxonomy and now have real-time updates of nodes on a non-front page.
