The images of slaughter flashed around the world - of regal lions piled atop Bengal tigers killed at a menagerie in Ohio.
The carnage of nearly 50 innocent creatures especially hit those who love wildlife. But few felt the loss more deeply than Martine Colette, who for 35 years has cared for exotic animals at her sanctuary in the Angeles National Forest.

NEW YORK - Rocker Courtney Love pleaded innocent on Thursday to charges of assault and reckless endangerment for allegedly hitting a fan in the head with a microphone stand in March.
Love was in court Thursday because she allegedly hit Gregory Burgett with the stand as she performed at a club on March 18, a few hours after a bizarre appearance on David Letterman's "Late Show" in which she lifted her shirt to expose her breasts at least six times.

First love has the greatest impact on who we are and who we are becoming.
First love is the innocent faith that we are captured by in the beginning of our journey. Our encounter with a spiritual purpose is birthed and we then become spiritually motivated with a fresh sense of direction in our life. This intense experience can propel us to search out our destiny for life.

IN his best-selling book, "The Greatest Generation," retired NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw chose those who came of age during the Great Depression and World War II as America's Greatest Generation.
In the cover leaf to his book he justified his choice in these words: "At a time in their lives when their days and nights should have been filled with innocent adventure, love and the lessons of the work a day world, they were fighting in the most primitive conditions across the bloodied landscape of France, Belgium, Italy, Austria and the coral islands of the Pacific... They won the war, they saved the world. ... They gave the world new science, literature, art, industry and economic strength unparalleled in the long curve of history.

Stuart Byron scored Allen's inability to endorse any sexual lifestyle - other than his own phallocentric sense of heterosexual serial monogamy; Stanley Crouch mocked the notion of a Manhattan populated exclusively by WASPs and Jews: "I have never seen an intelligent black character in a Woody Allen film." (Where Louis Armstrong and Willie Mays were only referred to in Manhattan, Bella Abzug actually appeared as a signifier of the Equal Rights Amendment.) The most perverse view in the Voice was presented by Ellen Willis, who parsed Manhattan's Jewish sexual politics and proposed that Keaton was the movie's aggressive, argumentative, angst-ridden, and frizzy-haired crypto-Jewish Rebecca, with Hemingway as the resident dewy WASP Rowena: Critics, as a group, can't stand grown-up Rebecca an...

Move over Martin Scorsese and Brian DePalma, Producer John Singleton ("Hustle & Flow," "Four Brothers" and "2 Fast 2 Furious") and Writer/Director Franc Reyes ("Empire") score big with their new flick, "Illegal Tender," a refreshing story about Latino love, family and a gutsy single mom purposed to do or die to protect both.
The film courts neoclassic mob movies like "Scarface" and "Goodfellas," but more than a motive of uncontrollable greed and power in those flicks, the predominantly Latino cast in "Illegal Tender" synchronistically embellishes the soul with innocent love between family members and the bitter-sweet choices that must be made to survive mean dealings, fair or not, in the frigid streets of New York as well as a longstanding vendetta a determined drug lord wants to se...

The news is full of murder, and as horrific as recent reports have been, many would agree that the worst of all murders is when parents kill their innocent children.
