Two million books is too many to seem real. What Jeffrey Zaslow can get his hands on, though, he can get his head around. So as "The Last Lecture" rockets up the best-seller lists — and really, it's already done rocketing — Zaslow can't help himself: He checks. He'll drive past a bookstore and OK, just this one last time, he'll pull in. Is it in stock? Up front, where it's supposed to be? Ahh, good. And reassured, he goes on his way. Denver Post

The instructions are simple: Read the Prayer ... / Drink the Water ... / Believe in God! / Believe in Yourself!

The University of Toledo suspended an administrator for stating in a guest column in a local newspaper that choosing homosexual behavior is not the same as being black or handicapped. Associate Vice President of Human Resources Crystal Dixon wrote in response to a newspaper editor's column criticizing a lack of equality for homosexuals that, "I take great umbrage at the notion that those choosing the homosexual lifestyle are 'civil rights victims.' Here's why. I cannot wake up tomorrow and not be a “black woman”. World Net Daily

Conservative Christian leaders who believe the word "evangelical" has lost its religious meaning plan to release a starkly self-critical document saying the movement has become too political and has diminished the Gospel through its approach to the culture wars. The statement, called "An Evangelical Manifesto," condemns Christians on the right and left for "using faith" to express political views without regard to the truth of the Bible, according to a draft of the document obtained Friday by The Associated Press. "That way faith loses its independence, Christians become `useful idiots' for one political party or another, and the Christian faith becomes an ideology," according to the draft. AP

Grounded in research at the Dartmouth Medical School, slow medicine encourages physicians to put on the brakes when considering care that may have high risks and limited rewards for the elderly, and it educates patients and families how to push back against emergency room trips and hospitalizations designed for those with treatable illnesses, not the inevitable erosion of advanced age. Slow medicine, which shares with hospice care the goal of comfort rather than cure, is increasingly available in nursing homes, but for those living at home or in assisted living, a medical scare usually prompts a call to 911, with little opportunity to choose otherwise.

No more dogs behind the steering wheel. Canines don't have to be back-seat drivers, but they'd better stay away from the gas pedal under legislation passed Monday by the Assembly. The measure to ban drivers from holding a live animal has been lambasted by radio's Rush Limbaugh and ridiculed as the "Paris Hilton Bill" in honor of the celebrity dog lover. But Assemblyman Bill Maze, R-Visalia, said his bill can be a matter of life or death. "It's a safety measure," he said before the Assembly's 44-11 vote sent the measure to the Senate. Current law requires animals to be secured in the back of a pickup, but allows them to roam freely inside a vehicle. Sacramento Bee

With a few sprinkles of water, plants will spring from its top, forming a cover of vegetation across the roof of the H. Allen Hight Learning Center. The school's "green roof" is one of many construction features designed to save energy when the campus opens in August with 500 students. It's also likely the first local example of a building trend sweeping across rooftops worldwide. The green roof will account for about $200,000 of the $74 million school construction project, Cannon said. It's more than double the cost of a traditional roof, which would cost roughly $80,000. But Cannon figures the school district will see a return on its investment in about 12 years. Sacramento Bee

With the Beijing Games less than 100 days away, the International Olympic Committee clarified its protest rules Monday, saying that athletes' external appearance, clothing and gestures would be scrutinized in China. The IOC sent a six-point letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, to the national Olympic federations in response to their request for interpretations of Rule 51.3 of the Olympic charter. That rule states "no kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas." AP

Its the last drive-in theater in Sacramento County. And now it's shutting down. So when will the last movie be shown? The drive-in. It has become a part of Americana, along with our love of cars and our love of Hollywood rolled up in one. Even John Travolta couldn't help but sing about it in Grease. But in recent years the money at the Sacramento Six Drive In has been drying up. CBS 13 TV
