Today's Television News Record Tuesday, Feb 6. 1996 Spelling not convincing in 'Co-Ed Call Girl' role By Kirk Nicewooger United Feature Syndicate NEW YORK: The hilariously a "Co-Ed Call Girl" (9 p.m., 'Co-Ed Call Channel 2). which Girt- gets our early vote 9. Channel 2 for TV-Mow TMe of the Year, is broadcast tonight Tori Spelling stars as med-student- by-day, vamp-by-night Joanna HaJ- bert, who is lured into a sordid lifestyle by a sleazy escort-service owner. Some unusual experiences such as being ordered to strip by an orchestra conductor as he plays "Fur Elise" on the piano lead Joanna to question her choice of moonlighting careers, setting the stage for a climactic confrontation, as they say.

Suffice it to note that Speffing is not convincing as a date-for-hire and even less so as a medical student (10 Channel 4). Russell must cope with the kiffing of her father in a case of domestic violence. Spotting Antonio Sabato Jr. stars as con man involved in a slaying in "If j.r.ftirj Could inn?

So I cut back on the warm-up and cool-down periods.

A knowledgeable friend has commented that I am playing whh fire. Are my actions really so bad. or is this much ado about nothing? ANSWER: Most athletes contend that if there's a golden rule to exercise, it's the warm-up. It is so universally practiced that researchers testing for the effects of warm-up on injury cant seem to find anyone wfllmg to sprint at maximum speed without it. Athletes are too aware of the potential dangers.

The only verifiable medical support for this routine is that a warm muscle contracts more quickly and efficiently, receives more oxygen and performs cleaner and longer than a cold one. But this can only be accomplished by choosing the right kind of warm-up, with a proper Fflmlly Doctor Dr. Allan Bruckhelm DU For example, a general warm- up such as calisthenics never would benefit a runner. It only increases the body's core temperature, not necessarily the temperature of muscles needed for a run. A task-specific warm- up, however, uses the same muscles.

For instance, light jogging whh brief bursts of speed works well for sprinters. Look to break a light sweat, but don't let your warm-up lead to fatigue, experts advise. After exercise, recover with a cool-down. Write to Dr. Allan BrucUuim in care of Tribune Media Services, 435 N.

88877 The A (CO 8430 History of grandma's made fine Christmas gift AMC Horn" View Man, Su2m Btf. Crtzy Hone becomes Iht el at SOUL 738273 Ut Utft the WV196322 CMN 41TM- 313983 UK MTV DEAR ABBY: My grandmother lives on a fixed income. For years I have sent her boxes of Christmas cards and stamps to help her with holiday expenses. They're a great gift for someone with a limited income who doesn't need one more bottle of bath-oil or another knickknack. I was surprised last year when she told me she was working on a Christmas present for me.

It was a history of her life. She dictated her biography into a tape recorder, and my aunt used a word processor to transcribe it. It began: Pearl Thompson, was born in Iroquois in Kingsbury County, S.D., on May 4, 1907." It goes on, sharing the milestones of her 87 years. She describes her father and his sons claiming land in South Dakota; building their houses; seeing Halley's comet in 1911; and how they survived the year the great drought hit She shared how she met George (my grandfather) and some of her grandparents' genealogy, of which I was unaware My favorite story is a Christmas memory: "A special Christmas for me was during the '30s when a 10- gallon can of cream sold for $3.50, and eggs were a nickel a dozen. George took the produce to town and rame hnmp carrying a pretty plate.

I have used it every Christmas since." Now her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have this DearAbby Abigail Van Buren precious memento to remember her by. I hope you will tell your readers about my grandmother's priceless Christmas gift, Abby. Then perhaps more grandchildren share in the true joy of the holidays. --TERRY THOMPSON. DALLAS DEAR TERRY: A family history is a gift that money can't buy and exemplifies the true spirit of Christmas the gift of "aetf." Although your letter arrived too late to inspire my readers last Christinas, perhaps it will be an incentive for those who have put off recording their family history.

For those people who want to preserve their family history on videotape but who are intimidated in front of a camera, a simple question can get the ball rolling: "Mother, will you please ten me a little about your childhood and your family?" 7:30 ttOO 8:30 930 10:00 (COSTftl Wedd View (CO 745612 Movie: Order (i 953, geaOcrenyhWane.An(Hnanl jthjfl frj LlUUW tittH. 9S5506 MmrOub 17308 9610S1 281490 19253188 118236 (CO A 30423S offlwtOi A376S06 A 564780 780831 Cltm(Hi31 to ON HM e( MM Mem MOB Far A(CCiss74ao ddo'A Eowjeney 178032 Weeem) Roraw Rea- Megy Piynt, Rofbitd 15896 EqulTlM27E31 ClUM8ll5g4S7 884186 Kfrf (CC) 943167 1 Pertw" (1955, Jctm A a gmBer MvwiUve 78439 993).
