I would like to Clear Any Selected Features using python since it causes an error if I run my tool and the user has a recorded selected.
I need some thing here that runs ("CLEAR_SELECTION") first
rows = arcpy.SearchCursor(Table, " \"Name\" LIKE 'Albert%' ", "", "Name;")
Thoughts?

Here is the help document covering the function in question: Select Layer by Attribute (Data Management)
I think this is how you would implement it:
As an aside, there are a lot of helpful examples of how to use the various toolbox tools, and their python implementations on the ArcGIS Desktop Help Site in the Professional Library. Oftentimes a quick search there will yield an answer faster than on GIS.se
Hope this helps!
