| I’m fit enough to break my knees again: Hrithik
HRITHIK Roshan sips on a cola relentlessly at hotel J W Marriotts nightclub, Enigma, while two skimpy models, on either side of him, giggle like schoolgirls. The handsome actor is shooting for a cola giant and his facial expressions schizophrenically alternate from serious to jocular until the perfectionist in him is satiated. As I meet him sometime later, another myth about the actor whose epic film Jodhaa Akbar releases in two weeks is edified that he is as modest as is possible. Every film is as crucial as the first one, says the top star, as he talks about Ashutosh Gowarikers expensive historical. He adjusts the air-conditioner when he sees me shiver and takes my questions as seriously as his photo-shoot. The whole team would have wanted Jodhaa..
The Talleys get their lift
This is an updated version of a story posted earlier on Thursday. GRANDVIEW — Robert Talley could not believe it. By about 3 p.m. on Thursday, he had the lift that he and his wife, Ann, had been waiting for, a gift from the Barstow Senior Center. "I just felt, well, if we had that, why not?" said Ethel Bussman, the office manager at the senior center. Ethel said after reading about the struggle Robert and Ann have been through to try to get a lift so Robert could be set upright and clear the mucus and fluid from his lungs, she wanted to be able to help. The senior center often accepts donations of equipment to help ailing senior citizens in the area, and Ethel felt certain they had a lift for Robert. She found one and made arrangements for her husband, Larry, to deliver it. The Talleys, she said, were in tears.

The C-J's Sunday College Basketball Notebook
The 6-foot-8 Stewart played 21 minutes in UK's 93-52 loss at Vanderbilt last week, more than he'd played in the previous 11 games combined. Five times during that 11-game span, Stewart didn't play at all. But coach Billy Gillispie said Stewart is improving in practice, and though Stewart had as many turnovers (three) as points in the Vandy game, Gillispie said the freshman "played all right." Stewart tied his career high with six rebounds against the Commodores. "He's just growing up a little bit, becoming a guy that's in the February month of his freshman year," Gillispie said. "He's understanding how important it is to be in the right spot and playing from those spots and competing all the time." Much to the chagrin of some UK fans -- who like Stewart's athleticism and see him as a potential contributor -- that doesn't mean Gillispie is making any promises about Stewart's playing time.
