| NBC's 'ER' Fills Rx for Liberal Preachiness with New Episode, Old ...
Gloria Reuben raised more than a few eyebrows in 2000 when she went from the front lines of NBC's acclaimed "ER" to the back line of Tina Turner's rock 'n' roll tour. Now she's starting the new year by stepping forward into her past. Reuben, who won accolades for her groundbreaking portrayal of Jeanie Boulet, a physician's assistant grappling with an HIV diagnosis, returns to the role Thursday night. She called the experience, which is being billed as a one-time appearance, both emotional and exhilarating. [...] .
South Korean president faces fight over cabinet picks
Special prosecutors last week cleared Lee of various allegations, including that he was involved in a 2001 stock price manipulation case. Lee, who flatly denied the charges, was the country's first president-elect to undergo a criminal inquiry. The main opposition party, the United Democratic Party, is the largest voting bloc with 141 seats in the 298-member National Assembly. Members have blasted Han for failing to report an expensive apartment his wife purchased in 2001, when he was serving as foreign minister, in violation of the ethics law covering government officials. Han, 72, has said he was too busy to report the purchase because he was also serving as president of the UN General Assembly. Although the post of prime minister is largely ceremonial, the occupant leads the country if the president becomes incapacitated.

Calif. papers with sagging ad revenue to merge some operations
The move involves the loss of nine jobs at the Daily Breeze, located in Torrance, and about 10 jobs at the Press-Telegram in Long Beach, Daily Breeze editor Phillip Sanfield said Monday. In addition, Mark Ficarra, who was named publisher of the Daily Breeze in January, will also become publisher of the Press-Telegram. The positions of current Press-Telegram publisher Dave Kuta and managing editor John Futch were eliminated. They will leave the company. "We are in an incredibly difficult market right now," Sanfield said. "These are really good people on both sides, at the Breeze and the P-T, but we are just going to have to make this work in a positive way." Under a reorganization to be in place Thursday, the two papers are forming a 24-person copy editing and pagination unit at the Daily Breeze that will handle both papers.
How many nonbelievers?
The 2006 study from the University of Minnesota does not examine the question of how many non- believers there are but rather makes clear the troubling depth of Americans' distrust of them. Asked whether they would disapprove of a child's wish to marry an atheist, 47.6% of the 2,000 randomly selected people interviewed said yes. When asked the same question about Muslims and African Americans, the respondents' "yes" responses fell to 33.5% and 27.2%, respectively, and the responses dealing with Asian Americans, Latinos and other groups were lower.
When asked which groups did not share their vision of society, 39.5% of those interviewed mentioned atheists -- again, a level of distrust far in excess of that shown to other groups. Sociologist Penny Edgell, the study's lead researcher, called the results "a glaring exception to the rule of increasing tolerance over the last 30 years."
The recent study by the Pew Forum reports on the religious affiliations of Americans.
