(AP) MOSCOW – Vera Lesovets held up photographs of her dog, Yasha, a spunky 5-year-old corgi, nipping playfully at the heels of a German shepherd twice her size. But Yasha’s life was cut short this week: After snacking on something in a Moscow park, she fell into a seizure at Lesovets’ apartment and began foaming at the mouth. The family rushed her to a nearby animal clinic, where the veterinarian said this was the sixth case he had seen that week, and there was nothing he could do. On Friday police opened a criminal investigation into what they suspect are poisonings by dog killers. Cruelty to animals is common in Russia and animal protection laws are rarely enforced, but reports of as many as 70 dead dogs this week have spurred the police to take action. While some residents suspected that a vigilante matriarch, wary of her children being bitten, might be the cause of the attacks, Lesovets was quick to suspect a more malicious culprit: dog hunters, a kind of deadly hobby gaining ground in the Russian online community. Dog hunting forums — the most well-known of which are Vreditelyam.net and Pest.net — are populated by those who call themselves “volunteers” and provide graphic photos of their trophy killings. The sites require extensive registration and identification processes for participants. “It’s a whole community. They have websites,” said Lesovets,...

(CBS) Oprah Winfrey left a big gap in daytime programming when she ended “The Oprah Winfrey Show” earlier this year. She covered everything: Politics. Human emotion. Weight struggles. Spirituality. The Secret. And she did it in a way that drew in viewers from just about every socioeconomic group. And who has the far-reaching appeal that Winfrey has? No one. Let’s be honest. But here are some of the options from which Americans can choose to have their daily gab needs met – and maybe some of these hosts will surprise us. Anderson Cooper: The CNN anchor and reporter hit the airwaves Monday with “Anderson,” his new talk show. His first guests were Amy Winehouse’s family. The L.A. Times writes, “[D]espite the man’s famous Vanderbilt/Dalton School/Yale/CNN pedigree, [“Anderson”] appears to be eerily similar to every other daytime talk show host’s [show].” That’s just one opinion, but Anderson does appeal to lots of different groups. Perhaps he can build his show into something bigger than a traditional talk show over time.  Dr. Oz: Winfrey first had Dr. Oz on in 2004. He got his own show in late 2009 after many appearances alongside Oprah. Oz’s show – “The Dr. Oz Show” – is primarily a medical and health show wrapped up in a talk show format. Tackling belly fat is one of the subjects of the show’s new season. Dr. Drew:...

(CBS) Notable among the films, documentaries, TV movies and literary works created in the wake of Sept. 11 is “Rebirth,” a documentary slated for release just days before the tenth anniversary of the event that devastated the lives of thousands and forever changed the way we view the world. Directed by Jim Whitaker, the documentary tracks for nearly a decade the journeys of five individuals whose lives were shattered on that day in 2001. Complete coverage: 9/11 anniversary Whitaker lost his mother six months before Sept. 11 and it was following a visit to ground zero a short time after the attacks that the idea of “Rebirth” was galvanized. Out of the carnage and remnants of twisted metal came the notion of renewal and regeneration, the idea that a site immortalized for the horror that unfolded there might one day become associated with new life and new beginnings. Ling Young, a Chinese woman badly burned while at work in one of the towers, is lucky to be alive. The documentary followed her painful surgeries to treat massive burns to her face and body. Nicholas is a teenager who lost his mother, an employee at Lehman Brothers. His journey is to learn as much as he can about what his mom was like and to chronicle the impact of her death on the family she left behind. In one of...
