Cornerstone cornerback
He doesn't have to be looking at the quarterback. He does it from route recognition and off of formations. The quarterback thinks he is over there, and this is where he wants to throw the ball. ... Asante pretty much forces the quarterback to avoid his half of the field. So then New England can do whatever else it wants on the other side to make up for things.'' Samuel, a fourth-round pick in 2003 out of Central Florida, credits former teammate Ty Law with bringing him along. Patriots fans gnashed their teeth when Law was let go after the 2004 season. Samuel -- whose first name means ''thank you'' in Swahili -- proved to be the perfect replacement, and now those same fans have the same worries. ''It's been a long journey, a long struggle,'' Samuel said. ''But it makes you a better man and makes you work hard to try to make it to the top.

McCain, Romney Seek Command on Feb. 5
BURBANK, Calif. John McCain and Mitt Romney are trying to take command of the long and antagonistic Republican presidential race, and the sheer size of next Tuesday's delegate haul could finally make that possible. Of the 1,191 national convention delegates needed to secure the nomination, 1,023 are up for grabs in 21 GOP contests _ a virtual national primary for the party. Both McCain and Romney made a beeline to California after McCain won in Florida, reflecting the importance of Super Tuesday's biggest prize. California awards 170 convention delegates, followed by New York, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois and New Jersey. The chaotic GOP campaign has come full circle. McCain and Romney were front-runners a year ago, then McCain's effort seemed to collapse, and other candidates took their turns at the top of polls.
Redsigned skis and boards take a reverse turn
It seems as if the people who make skis and boards are slipping on peels and going head over heels. They're all taking traditional notions of how to make snowboards and skis and flipping them upside down, quite literally. You're going to be hearing terms like "reverse camber" or "zero-camber" and "rocker" the next time you go to your favorite ski or snowboard shop, especially if you're a powder hound. So let us explain. Traditionally, when you lay a ski or snowboard flat on its base, the tip and tail will be touching the ground, but not the middle � the place where you put your feet will be above ground to some extent. This arc, or camber, harkens back to dark ages of skiing, when the standard method of changing direction was the parallel turn, which always reminded me of someone bouncing down the mountain with a pogo stick up his or her derriere.
