College conference realignment continues.  Now that I believe the Big Six are done, the Group of Five and others are shifting their membership.  In the latest Untitled Sports blog entry, I look a UTSA moving to C-USA and how the playoff football final four affects the college world.

I'm an active union steward for my local.  Next year negotiate a new contract with the company.  I watch with great interest on how negotiations progress in my industry right now.  It doesn't look pretty.

USW and Tesoro are in a staring contest right now which may lead to a work stoppage.

USW and Exxon Baton Rouge refinery also classing over contract talks.
