...sophomore safety wrestled Little to the ground, yanking him safely inbounds with just seven seconds on the clock. Shula didn’t have the wherewithal to rush to the line to spike the next snap. Triple-zero flashed on the scoreboard as the ball hit the ground...
...flat. But sophomore safety Ryan Tully pounced on Little, driving him to the turf at the 35-yard line. That kept him in bounds—and the clock running. The Big Green, seemingly unaware of how few seconds remained, methodically tried to set up and allow Shula to spike the ball in order to stop the clock and try a field goal.

...While many of the factors that have caused the oil-price spike appear to be fleeting, there may be no respite from Chinese demand for the foreseeable future. The country's industrial base is gobbling up vast amounts of petrochemicals to make everything from fertilizer to Barbie dolls.

Townsfolk were hired for the bogus production. Throughout the eight-day shoot, Shatner played...

After years of targeting pretty much every other group--women (Lifetime), young men (Spike TV), African Americans (BET) and insomniacs (C-SPAN--we kid!), it's inevitable that there would be a channel aimed specifically at gay and lesbian viewers. LOGO is scheduled to debut in 10 million to 15 million homes with digital cable in February, and is being touted by its creators as a cultural turning point. "It's a channel whose time has come," says Brian Graden, MTV and VH1's entertainment president...
