C-17s' flight time piles up faster than Air Force expected

In the past seven years, the Air Force has flown its C-17s hard, "burning up" the cargo jets faster than military planners expected, a top Air Force general says. Pilots routinely drop C-17s into gut-wrenching dives to reach war-zone landing strips.

'He's getting off free in a way,' father says

Clair and Patricia McLauchlin don't expect a great burden to be lifted from their lives when the state executes a man who raped, tortured and murdered their daughter 16 years ago. In some ways, they feel Joseph Gardner will be getting off easy Friday, when he is scheduled to be put to death for the racially charged killing of Melissa "Missi" McLauchlin in December 1992.

City Council considers raising cost to $14 in an effort to change people's behavior

Clemson makes it official: Swinney named head coach

CLEMSON â€" If Tyler Grisham has only one regret about his Clemson career it's that he has played just six games with Dabo Swinney as the Tigers head coach. Swinney, 39, officially had the interim tag removed from his title and became the 25th head coach in Clemson history Monday afternoon, replacing Tommy Bowden, who stepped down under heavy pressure on Oct. 13.

Dabo brings emotion back to Clemson

CLEMSON â€" It's not so much what Dabo Swinney said, it's what he couldn't say.

Gamecocks remain high on Outback Bowl's list

COLUMBIA â€" The Outback Bowl can't officially nail down a matchup for a few more days, but all indications are that South Carolina will take on either Iowa or Michigan State in its New Year's Day game in Tampa, Fla. That's according to sources in both South Carolina and Florida. Additionally, the Chick-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta has told some that it would like to have USC, but is operating under the assumption that the Gamecocks will not be available. The Chick-fil-A selects an SEC team just after the Outback.

Pinewood Prep may be team to beat in Roundball

The Piggly Wiggly Roundball Classic attracts teams from the best basketball hotbeds in the country, and this year is no exception as teams from Charlotte, Louisville, Atlanta, Baltimore and Washington are in this year's field.

Spiller, Hamlin lone Tigers first-teamers

RALEIGH â€" No teams dominated the Atlantic Coast Conference during this football season. Appropriately, no schools dominated the all-ACC team, either.

Retailers try to draw shoppers with deals

NEW YORK â€" Retailers who saw Thanksgiving holiday sales drop off as the weekend progressed stepped up online promotions on the day known as "Cyber Monday" to try to get consumers tired of the crowds at stores to keep shopping.

First Financial Holdings Inc., the largest Charleston-based bank owner, is seeking a piece of the federal bailout program.

A&E requests another day in court with Davis

Television network A&E is blaming misplaced sympathy for a South Carolina jury's recent multimillion-dollar ruling in favor of local real estate investor Richard Davis and is seeking another day in court.

Wall Street hammered

NEW YORK â€" The stock market suffered one of its worst days since the financial meltdown Monday, slicing 680 points off the Dow Jones industrial average as Wall Street snapped out of its daydream of a rally and once again faced the harsh reality of a recession.
