...inches of snow to send a playoff game into overtime, ending Super Bowl XXXVI two weeks later with 48-yard game-winner as time expired - he?s not jumping over cars and rivers on a rocket-powered motorcycle, but like his third cousin, Evel Knievel, Adam Vinatieri doesn?t melt under fire. Despite a sub-par regular season, when he converted a career-low 73.5% of his field goal tries, Vinatieri has kept a clutch foot in the playoffs. He hit a 46-yard knuckleball in the Arctic cold to give the Pats a 17-14 home win over...
Another scattering of studies showed that the low-carb Atkins diet really does melt the pounds away--at least in the short run. Subjects in two trials ate either a low-carb diet or a conventional low-calorie, high-carb menu. At the end of six months, the carb cutters lost twice as many pounds as the calorie counters. The pounds, however, quickly reappeared after the first part of the study was completed. By the end of the next six months, the two test groups showed no difference in the amount of weight they had lost. The studies also found...

As he strolls, his features melt back into the familiar, cheerful expression that any TV addict knows so well. By the time Tsang steps before the lens, it seems all the brightness a photographer might ever need is emanating from Tsang's signature toothy grin...
...Just down the street from Ryu lives another North Korean bride, whose tale has less of a storybook ending. Kim was a nurse back in North Korea and first tried to come to China seven years ago. Instead of crossing into a city, where she could melt into the crowds, Kim hiked up into the rugged mountains surrounding Changbai. Up in the alpine tundra, there were no border markings, and Kim wandered for days, unsure at first if she had reached China or was still in North Korea. To protect her chapped feet from the snow, she wrapped grass around...
