Labor up in the air

A tentative labor agreement between Boeing Co. and striking union workers isn't going to help the Vought Aircraft Industries plant in North Charleston return to a normal production schedule anytime soon.

Utility to upgrade power station

South Carolina Electric & Gas Co. plans to eliminate four nearly 50-year-old gas-fired generators at two back-up power plants in North Charleston and Beaufort County and consolidate operations at its Hagood Generating Station in the Charleston Neck area at a cost of roughly $30 million.

How survey measures consumer confidence

There's no truly comprehensive way to accurately gauge consumers' collective whims in a nation of more than 300 million people, so the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Survey might be the best tool we've got.

Spurrier on Tennessee's woes: 'I've got my own problems'

COLUMBIA â€" You know, deep down, this has to be killing Steve Spurrier. Two of his longest-held rivals â€" the Bowden family, Clemson's Tommy in this case, and Tennessee's Phillip Fulmer â€" find themselves in the unemployment line or very near to it, and South Carolina's coach just has to purse his lips and downplay the news. It would be like if an army general watched the fall of his most bitter enemies, wanted to delight in their demise, but then looked at the mediocrity of his own force and decided better of it.

Nationwide Tour finale headed to Daniel Island

The Nationwide Tour's season- ending event, a televised limited-field tournament that helps determine which golfers will earn advancement to the PGA Tour, will be played at the Daniel Island Club next year.

Weather's whim: Wacky World Series on hold

PHILADELPHIA â€" Sooner or later, someone will win this World Series. Just not Tuesday night. Too wet. Besides, the baseball commissioner went home to Milwaukee.

Trick or treat and maybe snow for Wofford, App State

As soon as you win one showdown, there's another one looming. That's life in the Southern Conference, where a week after Wofford pummeled an FCS Top 10 team in Elon, it faces another one in No. 2 Appalachian State.

Clemson 'lost way a little bit'

CLEMSON â€" Tommy Bowden said for years that Clemson was a mere play away from greatness. Now his replacement is saying the Tigers are twice as far away. Two plays. "We've got to make two more plays than what we've been making," interim coach Dabo Swinney said Tuesday.

Help AlterNet continue to expose the facts on Palin!

As the 2008 election comes down to the wire, AlterNet is operating at full throttle. We are covering it all, from the sleaze to the inspiration, from voter suppression to the shocking nomination of Sarah Palin. In fact, we've probably organized more information on this woman than anywhere else on the web. And in the past two months, over 3 million people have come to AlterNet to read about the pratfalls and far-right ideas of McCain's VP choice.

Now is the home stretch. But because of the global financial meltdown, our budget is quickly shrinking just as we need to be going all out. Will you help us finish the year with a bang?

We could really use your support.

Much Thanks,

Don Hazen, Executive Editor
