...punt return specialist. During his sophomore year, Clarke completely disappeared from the football scene, serving a one-year undisclosed suspension. This year, however, Clarke’s services will be called upon, and Clarke remains intent on providing them. “Like Levi, Mike just has so much pure speed and athleticism. I’m definitely excited to see what he can do,” Pizzotti said. Now that he’s back, Clarke will look to lift some pressure off of junior Matt Luft. “Luft will always be a top target...
...Middle East and Venezuela oil imports in 10 years, partly by putting 1 million plug-in hybrid cars on American roads by 2015 and giving a $7,000 tax credit to each person who buys an electric car. McCain has offered a $5,000 tax credit for people buying pure, zero-emission electric cars (GM's Volt would not qualify), with a sliding scale of tax breaks for those buying low-emission vehicles.

Unless Austria's mainstream parties can find a way to share power and work together in a more effective and responsive way, he may eventually get his wish...
...simple as it sounds. Ardai needed writers who could hammer out tales in the style of that less lyrical era, crude but effective books that dispensed with stylistic foofaraw and hooked the reader from the get-go with pure plot. (Sample first line, from David Dodge's The Last Match: "The guy who was waiting for me in my room merely wanted to blow my head off, that's all.") "Pulp fiction was written at high velocity by people who had a bill collector waiting at the door," Ardai says. So far, he has signed up some A-list talent...
