Convicted killer Ronald Ray Howard was executed Thursday for fatally shooting a Texas state trooper, a slaying his trial attorneys argued was prompted by Howard listening to anti-police rap music.

Asked if he had a final statement, Howard looked at the trooper's widow, daughter and brother and said he hoped "this helps a little. I don't know how, but I hope it helps."

Then he turn...

The title of Norman Jewison's new autobiography is "This Terrible Business Has Been Good to Me," and it sounds like the veteran film director himself - nice.

Through 25 feature films in 40-odd years, Jewison's movies have scored 45 Academy Award nominations - and Oscars for Rod Steiger in "In the Heat of the Night" and Cher for "Moonstruck"_ and he has done it all by remaining nice.

With a popular TV series, a clothing line, an upcoming film and debut CD, it's been suggested that Sara Paxton could be crowding Hilary Duff for the title of pop culture teen queen.

Paxton is too busy to concern herself with such who's-in-and-who's-out speculation, though. Back in her hometown recently to shoot a video for her album, the perky 17-year-old is trying to figure out how to...

EDMONTON (CP) - Police knew it. Social workers knew it. Friends knew it. Even three-year-old Alex Fekete knew his father planned to kill his mom - because his dad told him so. Josif Fekete, enraged over the prospect of losing access to his son, had been making murder threats for a year.

On Dec. 28, 2003, at an apartment building in his central Alberta home town of Red Deer, Fekete made go...

Go to: Next story in this category Send to a friend!

I'm 32 weeks along with my first baby, and we just moved to a new town a year ago. I guess we don't have many friends because so far, nobody has offered to throw us a baby shower. I was wondering if we could do it ourselves.

Every etiquette book we consulted on this matter says no -- it's "simply not done." In fact, mothers, ...

I spent the full nine months of pregnancy bonding with my baby. For her cerebral stimulation, I played Mozart and read aloud from Ralph Waldo Emerson. I regaled her with stories of a family steeped in history (no sense disillusioning her too early). I named her, nicknamed her, and shared girl talk with her. We bonded in every aspect imaginable.

Walt, my husband, used this prenatal time to...
