| Short skirts and fast cars will have to wait, says Jankovic
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -A sore and sorry Jelena Jankovic will have to forgo glamour for the time being. "When you have pain in your back, the worst thing is to have heels on and put on a short dress," the third-ranked Jankovic said when asked if she'd take another ride in an Italian sports car before she leaves Melbourne. "Because I can't bend down, I can't do anything." Jankovic twice sought medical treatment in the second set of her 6-3, 6-1 semifinal loss to Maria Sharapova, laying outstretched on a towel while a physiotherapist massaged her lower back. "I felt really some strange pain in my back where I felt like I was so stuck," she said. "I wanted to withdraw, but it was a semifinal." The Serb also regrets her promise to join American Bethanie Mattek in the doubles competition, where they lost in the third round.
'Cohesive ugliness' in proposed building
Regarding the Feb. 1 article, ''Eighth Avenue build-out in Bethlehem'': It would be comical if city officials weren't taking it seriously. This unbelievably garish seven-story office building is proposed as the "new face of the Tower district.''
This prize winner has already appeared as the "Eyesore of the Month" on the Web site of James Howard Kunstler, the author, coincidentally, of "The Geography of Nowhere." Readers can check it out at http://www.kunstler.com .
Bethlehem Community and Economic Development Director Tony Hanna praised the project as contributing to a "cohesive identity" for the neighborhood. Does he mean a span of cohesive ugliness separating the north and south residential zones in West Bethlehem? Or, given the Las Vegas "inspiration," perhaps the cohesion is ''casino city.''

Motorola RAZR maxx V6 Ferrari Review
Motorola, better known as the inventor of the RAZR design, seems to be running out of ideas when it comes to building a new face for its handsets. Even if people are still buying RAZR-like phones, perhaps Motorola should start to give a chance to its other exceptionally good models like Z6 or Z8. I'm not saying this because I don't like the RAZR look, but even 'love' can turn to 'hate' if it's too much. Now, back to our Motorola RAZR maxx V6 Ferrari, there has been an increasing trend in the mobile industry that made handset manufacturers join forces with brands that have nothing to do with mobile phones. LG and Prada, Motorola and D&G, Samsung and Bang & Olufsen and many more partnerships have been made either for marketing reasons or simply to improve a handset's functionality (yeah right).
From Malcolm's Dad to Meth Dealer, Bryan Cranston Blows Up With ...
For Bryan Cranston, one of the most fun things about starring in the new AMC television series Breaking Bad is getting to blow stuff up on set. “I'm doing several things with gun play and chemicals and explosions. So I really enjoy that, being a badass," he said, speaking by phone yesterday afternoon from his dressing room at The Rachael Ray Show, where he was scheduled to appear. “It's like being a boy again." It seems ironic considering that Mr. Cranston, 51, is most well known for playing a father. He was the goofy, fumbling dad on Fox's Emmy-winning sitcom Malcolm In the Middle (now you can picture him!), and as the high school chemistry teacher turned drug dealer, Walter White, he's taken on another paternal role, albeit a dark and twisted one, in Breaking Bad, which premiered last Sunday, Jan.
'The ballet is very soul-touching,' Says Bank Worker
NEW YORKNew Jersey bank worker Eileen Moccaldi enjoyed the Chinese New Year Splendor currently playing at Radio City Music Hall so much she says she will recommend the show to everybody. "The [dancing] is very soul-touching. It's not like the American or Western ballet which leaves you feeling very structured in your appreciation. In this [performance], it can take you very deeply into your emotions. That's the way we feel it," she said Moccaldi said the show was "lovely" and "very different". "We are now in a new time and in a new age, and people are more aware and they are more interested in not only themselves but in the world around them. So I think everybody would, and especially young children would enjoy this," she said. Moccaldi attended Wednesday night's show with her friend and co-worker Georgette.
