Whether you drive or fly, Inuvik is the headquarters for trips to other Western Arctic communities. The Western Arctic Regional Visitor Centre should be your first stop. You'll receive a certificate of the Arctic Circle Chapter, Order of Adventurers, awarded to all travellers who cross the Arctic Circle.
Located on the East Channel about 60 kilometres into the Mackenzie Delta, Inuvik is built on frozen delta soils, called permafrost. Permafrost created unique challenges for the town planners, who decided to erect large buildings on piles driven into the ice, with open space beneath the buildings to dissipate the structure's heat. Central heating was supplied to the original community by utilidors. These raised box-like structures enclosed heat and water lines, and can still be seen linking parts of the central area. Today, power is supplied by gas generators fuelled by the first producing gas well in the Mackenzie Delta.
Our Lady of Victory, the Igloo church, is a must-see landmark with a heartwarming story of construction and decoration by volunteers. Inuvik offers a variety of authentic Arctic experiences, from touring, to great dining, to shopping, boat tours, and in winter, dog sled rides, cross country skiing and aurora watching.

What if, instead of roads and the smog-producing cars that occupy them, the entire U.S. took a page from its big cities and installed a transcontinental subway system? It's a pretty unrealistic idea, but that doesn't mean we can't dream. Australian graphic designer Cameron Booth has sketched out the U.S Numbered Highway System as if it were the London Tube. "Stylistically, the map definitely borrows from the London Underground 'Tube' map, although the final look is somewhat different due to the complexity of my map," Booth wrote by email. The map's detail only gets the justice it deserves in the high-resolution version available on Booth's Flickr account.
"I have to say that without a doubt, this is the most complex network that I have yet attempted," Booth writes on his blog. Indeed, the U.S. Numbered Highway System, dating back to the 1920s, is much more complex than the Autobahn-inspired and more efficiently designed U.S. Interstate System created by the Eisenhower administration in the 1950s (which Booth also reimagined as a subway system back in March). And we have to say, the tangle of U.S. Routes -- such as the one to right around Memphis, "most complex intersection of roads on the map" according to Booth -- is a bit easier to understand with his map. Now all we need is the real-life high-speed rail system promised by President Obama earlier in his term to use it.

The Limits of Technology, A Chilling Reminder
Who can forget the horror of learning, a few years back, that a modern Airbus A330-200 aircraft simply vanished over mid-Atlantic, initially without a trace?
Over the weekend, the Telegraph published a chilling analysis of the June 1, 2009 crash of Air France Flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. After the autopilot disconnected in a thunderstorm--a fail-safe response to faulty airspeed data from frozen pitot tubes--the pilot flying AF447 commanded excessive nose-up trim, entering a deep stall. Incredibly, the pilot held this attitude throughout the plane's descent.
For most of its four-minute, 7-mile plunge, AF 447 could have resumed controlled flight if the pilot flying had lowered the nose and held the attitude long enough to regain flying speed. This basic stall recovery procedure is taught to every pilot in initial training and drilled repeatedly in flight checks.
What went wrong? In a word: technology. Too much technology in between the pilots and the aircraft.
But there is another, worrying implication that the Telegraph can disclose for the first time: that the errors committed by the pilot doing the flying were not corrected by his more experienced colleagues because they did not know he was behaving in a manner bound to induce a stall. And the reason for that fatal lack of awareness lies partly in the design of the control stick – the "side stick" – used in all Airbus cockpits.
Cockpit controls in most modern airliners are connected to computers, not directly to engines and flight surfaces. Both Boeing and Airbus make extensive use of such "fly-by-wire" systems. Where Airbus goes further--a step too far in the case of AF447--is in eliminating the tactile signaling provided by the older controls. In a conventional aircraft, the pilot flying commands a nose-up attitude by pulling the stick back and the stick on the other side of the cockpit likewise moves aft, providing feedback to the PNF (pilot not flying). Boeing emulates this control behavior in its fly-by-wire aircraft, Airbus does not. Relax back-pressure in a new Boeing airliner and the nose will lower to its previously trimmed position, just like an old-style cable-and-hydraulics plane. In an Airbus, the computer carries on with the last command input until receiving a new one, even though the stick is visibly in the neutral position.
Under normal circumstances, the Airbus approach provides a lower pilot workload--a better "user experience" in Web 2.0-speak. However, in the corner case of an emergency with multiple instrument failures, overloaded pilots lack the physical cues that would likely have saved 228 souls on board AF447.
And the problem of too much well-meaning-but-intrusive technology goes beyond the flight controls: even the design of the computer-automated stall warning contributed to the disaster.
Bonin's insistent efforts to climb soon deprived even the computers of the vital angle-of-attack information. An A330's angle of attack is measured by a fin projecting from the fuselage. When forward speed fell to 60 knots there was insufficient airflow to make the mechanism work. The computers, which are programmed not to feed pilots misleading information, could no longer make sense of the data they were receiving and blanked out some of the instruments. Also, the stall warnings ceased. It was up to the pilots to do some old-fashioned flying.
With no knowledge of airspeed or angle of attack, the safest thing at high altitude is to descend gently to avoid a stall. This is what David urged Bonin to do, but something bewildering happened when Bonin put the nose down. As the aircraft picked up speed, the input data became valid again and the computers could now make sense of things. Once again they began to shout: "Stall, stall, stall." Tragically, as Bonin did the right thing to pick up speed, the aircraft seemed to tell him he was making matters worse. If he had continued to descend the warnings would eventually have ceased. But, panicked by the renewed stall alerts, he chose to resume his fatal climb.

Mark, Good explanation. The Bus clearly has an AP disconnect so I was confused why people would say that it couldn't be disconnected. A fly-by-wire system has to have a flight control computer (FCC), there is no way for direct yoke to control surface control. The autopilot then becomes a function of that FCC (another box).
In your diagram, the CAS (FCC) would always be in the flight control system with an additional box (autopilot) above it providing input in lieu of the stick (blue circle).
Aviation design is always a series of compromises, example: The Bus throttles don't move to reflect auto throttle input. I wish they did because that provides feedback to the pilots. Airbus saved the weight and maintenance costs by eliminating the servos that move the throttles but by maintaining fidelity to their design weight/efficiency goals, they allowed the bus to be more efficient. This allows the 330 to climb faster and higher than Boeing jets. The big gain is oceanic crossings, we get the higher altitudes faster allowing us to cross the ocean at the higher, more efficient altitudes while the Boeing jets are stuck below us.

sven141: Aviation design is always a series of compromises, example: The Bus throttles don't move to reflect auto throttle input. I wish they did because that provides feedback to the pilots. |
What happens when in a scenario like this:
You set the throttles to 80%. Then you engage autothrottle, which changes the setting to 75%. Later, you disengage autothrottle.
Does the throttle setting jump back to 80%? Or does it wait for you to move the handle to 75% before it responds to a new input?

Mark, the Bus AT are a little quirky compared to other planes in that the throttles serve as a limit when the AT are engaged. In your example, the throttles are set to 80%, then you engage the AT. The AT would then be limited to 80%, they would operate up to 80%. The procedure when engaging the AT is to set the throttle levers to the current engine setting using engine gauges (to prevent a surge), engage the AT, then move them to the max position so they have full authority. So the answer to your 3rd paragraph is that yes the engines jump to 80% (the last throttle position).

List your positions of employment or volunteer work/community service since high school, either full or part-time, including the hours per week worked and the nature and dates of employment or service.
Some departments require that you upload additional supplemental documents, such as a writing sample, information sheet, or unofficial transcript, to your online application. For departmental supplemental documents requirements, please see Departments and Programs. Do not upload additional documents that are not required by your prospective department. If necessary, please redact your social security number before uploading transcripts.
UC Santa Barbara accepts PDF and Microsoft Word (.doc and .docx) documents for upload in the online application. The maximum file size allowed is 4 MB per document.
You may view and replace documents you have uploaded. Once you click the "Lock" button, you will not be able to replace what you have uploaded. Please preview each document carefully to ensure you have uploaded the correct documents. Graduate Division and departmental staff will not be able to replace documents for you once you have locked a document.
Documents must be uploaded to the online application absolutely no later than 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time on your departmental application deadline. Documents received after 11:59 PM on the departmental application deadline may be considered ineligible for review, and your application may be marked as Incomplete, and therefore unreviewable, by the department. The application fee is non-refundable for Incomplete applications.
The information you provide in this section is used by the department to determine if you are seeking financial support. This section does not constitute an application for specific UCSB fellowships or federal financial aid.
All applications require a non-refundable application fee of $80 for domestic applicants, and $100 for international applicants. No application will be processed until the application fee has been received. This fee can be paid by credit card or with a check/money order using the Check/Money Order Submission Form found on the last page of the application.
A limited number of application fee waivers are available to qualified U.S. citizens and permanent residents who demonstrate evidence of financial need or proof of participation in an undergraduate research program. To apply for a fee waiver, submit the Fee Waiver Request Form. More information is listed on the form.
There are no fee waivers for international applications.
If your current degree program is still in progress, you will be required to submit final and official transcripts with the degree awarded once your program is complete, if you are admitted.
Two official copies of the applicant's transcripts from all post-secondary educational institutions attended, including community colleges, summer sessions, and extension programs, must be sent to the proposed department as part of the application. Unofficial transcripts do not take the place of official hard copy documents under any circumstance. For contact information, including where to send transcripts, visit Departments and Programs. Transcripts must show:
Records submitted to UCSB will not be copied, returned, or sent to another institution.
Records from international institutions: All transcripts and translations must be received in envelopes sealed and stamped by the school. All academic documents should be sent in the native language along with authorized, complete, and exact, literal English translations by the school or an official agency. Unofficial copies made by the applicant or UC faculty and staff are unacceptable.
Some departments also recommend that you upload unofficial transcripts to the online application. To accomplish this, upload the transcripts as "Other Documents." Since you may only upload a limited number of documents, you may need to combine all your unofficial transcripts into a single PDF document before uploading. If necessary, please redact your social security number before uploading transcripts.
It is important that proposed departments are notified of any changes in your address, phone number, or e-mail address during the application process. Otherwise, important notifications regarding applications, missing supporting materials, or admissions decisions may be seriously delayed or lost. Departments will notify the Graduate Division of any changes.
Please note that once your application has been submitted, you cannot make changes to the content of your online application. Please review your application carefully before submitting and print out a copy for your files.

Abstract: For most progressive activists, it is a given that the military-industrial complex is a clear and highly visible barrier to progressive social change. So it is particularly interesting to note that a number of groups involved in progressive activist education which are held in high regard by activists maintain strong links to military and political elites. One of the best known of these organisations is the US-based Albert Einstein Institution. This paper will provide a systematic analysis of the history of this Institution, and the key people associated with it, and demonstrate how their work is intimately linked to the international democracy-manipulating community whose work is exemplified by the US-based National Endowment for Democracy, a group which is well-known for its support of the failed 2002 coup in Venezuela. This analysis will expose the crucial role such activist educators play in catalysing revolutions in countries deemed appropriative for regime change by transnational elites. In the light of the dubious nature of these educational activities, this paper will conclude by offering a number of suggestions for how concerned citizens and educators may counter the cynical (ab)use of activist education by political elites as a new and powerful tool of imperialism.

On 29th July we interviewed Fionuala Cregan on the Paraguayan crisis, its background and the Latin American context in which it takes place. She is based in Argentina and works with the Latin America Regional Office of Church World Service. She has also written for the Irish Times on Paraguay and has extensive research on the impact of agribusiness on Paraguayan peasants' lives. She has been a long term supporter of LASC. The views expressed here are her own. We hope that this interview will give a better insight into the developments in that country.

In all three cases, the deaths were preceded by the same reassurances about the safety of drilling and piping that I read now in the debate about fracking in Ireland. First, the Deepwater Horizon. Eleven men died when the 'mud' drilling cement meant to cap the wellhead failed and methane gas blew out the top of the pipes and exploded. The Shannon Basin is not the Gulf of Mexico, but your safety will be just as dependent on Halliburtons mud.

I love collecting ink blotters. To me, they look like miniature billboards. Still relatively easy to find...even the earlier ones since these were produced in such large quantities.
Most sell for around $20-$30. The early ones (1930s) are book-valued at $75-$150 but even those can be purchased from time to time for about $25. You just need to keep looking.
The last photo shows a miniature gold wood frame that a fellow collector actually makes by hand for ink blotters. I just wished I remembered who he was because these are real neat to display your ink blotters in.
I think I own about 20 different ones now.

Also, regarding the Electric Co. box, I take it that can contain a T1 or a T2 Spiderman. Either would be appropriate for that box?

Wordless Wednesday -- Bette Davis House
The house is located in Lowell, Massachusetts, about a mile from where I live. Since Bette Davis is one of my favorite actresses, I still love knowing that she lived in Lowell for less than two years. Please see Wikipedia article.
February 12, 2013. I have noticed a large number of people looking at this site, and while I'm delighted, I am just a bit curious. Since it is just a photo of her house and the plaque, I'm wondering if there is anything else you would like to see. Could you fill me in on why, during this week, so many of you are looking at it. Of course I am pleased. You could leave a comment here at the post or email me at: email@example.com.

Answer: In N.J., by state adoption, teams play a best two out of three set match. Team is considered match winner when it wins two sets. The term "set" now replaces the term game. (Rule 1, Sec. 2, Art. 1-3)
Question: If a team wins the first two sets, is the third set necessary?
Answer: Unless necessary, the third set is not played. If a third set is required, a coin toss shall take place prior to that set. (Rule 1, Sec. 2, Art. 3, note 2)

Tom Humble quits Wests Tigers to join Penrith Panthers on a two-year deal
- The Daily Telegraph
- November 01, 2012
Penrith believe they have found a replacement for playmaker Travis Burns with utility Tom Humble announcing he has left Wests Tigers to join the Panthers.
As the player exodus from the Tigers continued despite the appointment of new coach Mick Potter, Humble wrote on Twitter he will join the Panthers on a two-year-deal.
It comes after former Tigers players Beau Ryan and Chris Heighington's shock moves to Cronulla.
"Looking forward to the next 2yrs with the panthers. Will miss the tigers boys and fans but new 1's to be found in mighty Penrith," Humble tweeted.
The Panthers' pre-season began at Centrebet Stadium on Thursday where Humble was expected to meet his new teammates for the first time.
The 23-year-old, who played 15 games for the Tigers in 2012 in the halves and at fullback, said it had been a pleasure to play alongside his former Tigers teammates despite being at the club for just 12 months.
It is understood Humble and the Tigers had agreed to part ways before the end of the 2012 NRL season last month.
Humble now faces a tough battle to win his spot in Panthers coach Ivan Cleary's top 17 players with Lachlan Coote and Luke Walsh the incumbent halves.
Follow the action. Like Fox Sports.

A stellar season for the No. 7 seeded Union Spartans came to a close Monday night in the opening round of the state playoffs thanks to a strong effort by the No. 10 seeded Pamlico Hurricanes, who blew into Spartan country and walked way with a 80-56 win.
Union and Pamlico both played well offensively in the first quarter. Brandon Lovette was knocking down shots early for the Spartans, as he hit two 3-pointers and scored 8 points in the opening period. Pamlico's guards were connecting from deep as well though, and the Hurricanes led 17-16 after the first.
Pamlico used good inside position in the second quarter, and scored 8 second chance points in that frame alone. Pamlico had 14 offensive rebounds in the first half, which made it difficult for Union to even stay in the game. Justin Smith's 6 points in the quarter, another triple from Lovette, and a Natrone Banks lay-up with just 2 seconds left in the opening period allowed Union to trail by only 7 points, 36-29, going into the halftime locker room.
In the third quarter, the Hurricanes began to spread the floor and take the Spartans off the dribble. Lovette scored 7 more points in the third for Union, but the Hurricanes seemed to be to quick for the Spartans to handle defensively. By the end of the third quarter, Pamlico led 58-45.
Union scored the first two buckets of the fourth quarter on lay-ups by Banks and Justin Smith. However, following these baskets, Union would go on a scoring drought of nearly four and a half minutes from the 6:57 mark to the 2:35 mark in the fourth quarter. During this drought for Union, Pamlico's guards were getting into the lane and either dishing the ball off to their post players for lay-ups, or laying it in themselves. If Pamlico couldn't get to the basket in the fourth, they would knock down a 3-pointer. The Hurricanes shot over 60 percent in the fourth quarter, and grabbed 23 offensive rebounds for the game to upset the higher seeded and home team Spartans in impressive fashion, 80-56.
"Well we had a good season," said Union head coach Tim Pope. "Second in the conference and second in the conference tournament, and whenever you're playing this time of the year, all of the teams are good. We had a tough match-up tonight and those guys were just too quick for us to stay in front of. Justin Smith played a great game, that's a great way for him to go out, and I'm proud of our team this season. We have Brandon Lovette and Desmond (Faison) coming back, and this year is something we can build on.
Banks had 15 points and 5 assists for Union. Lovette led the Spartans with 18 points, shooting 4 for7 from behind the arc. In Justin Smith's last high school basketball game, he had 14 points and 14 rebounds.

Why: To patrol your home while you're away, capturing images you can access on any Web-connected device.
The Gear: Tablet PC, webcam, cable, battery pack, strong Velcro
How: Use the onboard PC to send the Roomba instructions to (roughly) follow a predetermined path around your pad. Set the webcam to snap a picture every few minutes and automatically upload it over your Wi-Fi network to a photo-sharing site such as Flickr, which you can log onto from anywhere. Advanced trick: Wire the battery pack to recharge when the Roomba hits the base station so that it can operate indefinitely.
The Roomba Vacuuming Robot may not stand up to a Dyson for sucking power, but for $280, it is an incredibly sophisticated robot. Its locomotion system scoots it along at one foot per second, while its sensors detect and navigate obstacles. To build something that complex yourself requires serious robotics chops. So I was thrilled when the folks at iRobot told me recently that they´ve made the Roomba a hackable robotics platform.
Any Roomba rolling off the assembly line after October 24, 2005, has a serial command interface (SCI)-new software that allows it to be controlled by preprogrammed instructions, making it an ideal ready-made base for any robotics project.
The Roomba can´t store instructions itself, so you´ll need to connect something to its serial port to feed it directions: a computer, a microcontroller board, or one of the new third-party control devices, such as the RoboTooth, which lets you steer
the Roomba with a Bluetooth cellphone.

LSU wins old-fashioned way at Texas A&M
You've got more speed on the field (in LSU's Mustang defensive package), and certainly that was a big benefit for us." John Chavis, LSU defensive coordinator
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Chalk up another win for Old Man Football.
Texas A&M threatened to swamp LSU Saturday, driving the Tigers into a 12-0 hole while LSU struggled to mount a counterattack.
It looked bleak for the Tigers, with Aggies freshman phenom Johnny Manziel riddling LSU's defense while white-clad A&M yell leaders whipped the maroon-clad Aggies faithful into a swaying, towel-waving frenzy.
But on the LSU sideline the mood was calm, the resolve to come back from the Tigers' biggest road game deficit in eight years undaunted.
"There's no reason to panic when you get down," quarterback Zach Mettenberger said. "You have to keep grinding away, keep staying focused, keep believing. We did that, and right before half we got two quick possessions and two touchdowns."
Quicker even than A&M's fast break offense could score, LSU snatched the halftime lead away from the stunned Aggies en route to an eventual 24-19 victory.
On fourth-and-1 at the A&M 33, Spencer Ware pitched out of the Wildcat formation to Michael Ford, who ran around left end to the 20. On the next play, Ford slid around right end to make it a 12-7 game with 1:49 to go.
On A&M's subsequent possession, Ronald Martin forced a fumble from running back Ben Malena, with Lamin Barrow recovering at the Aggies' 40 with 46 seconds left. Mettenberger then found touchdown target Kadron Boone at the goal line, as he made a leaping 29-yard grab to put the Tigers ahead 14-12 with 11 seconds before intermission.
It was Mettenberger's first TD pass in a Southeastern Conference game.
"It was an adjustment," said Boone, who has caught four of Mettenberger's seven TD passes. "They were playing up, so we felt we could get them with a double move. They were packing the box to take away the run so we knew we had to make a play at the receiver position."
From the second quarter on LSU's defense gradually broke down A&M's high-tech offensive machinery with its Mustang defense, a smaller, quicker look with three down lineman and six defensive backs.
"We wanted to pressure them a little more, and it's easier to pressure them out of our Mustang package," defensive coordinator John Chavis said. "You've got more speed on the field, and certainly that was a big benefit for us."
Manziel completed 29 of 56 passes for 276 yards — the first time anyone has thrown for over 200 yards against LSU this season.
But the man they call "Johnny Football" — on the verge of becoming a dark horse Heisman Trophy contender with a winning turn against the Tigers — was sacked three times with four hurries and was harassed into throwing three interceptions, equaling his total from the Aggies' first six games.
The SEC leader in total offense and rushing, Manziel netted a season low 27 yards on 17 carries and failed to run or throw for a touchdown for the first time.
"It wasn't fun chasing Manziel all day," defensive end Barkevious Mingo said. "We did a good job of it, but it wasn't fun. They had more yards than us."
A&M outgained LSU 410-316, but a 5-0 turnover differential proved to be the Aggies' undoing. LSU converted three of those turnovers into touchdowns, helping the Tigers overcome a season-high 13 penalties for 102 yards.
"We give him credit," free safety Eric Reid said. "He knows how to work the pocket and he does it well. The game is all about momentum. We got some key turnovers and put some points on the board."
Offensively, the Tigers' brand of Old Man Football pounded the Aggies into submission.
LSU finished with 219 net yards rushing, led for the second straight week by freshman tailback Jeremy Hill.
Hill eclipsed his career-best 124-yard rushing effort the week earlier against South Carolina with 17 carries for 127 yards and a 47-yard touchdown run with 3:12 remaining that proved to be the winning score.
"He's showing the coaches in practice that he can play in this league," Boone said. "We feel if you can make big plays on our defense you can come out here on Saturdays and make plays also. He's been making plays like that in practice.'
LSU (7-1, 3-1 SEC) remained No. 6 Sunday in the season's second BCS standings and in the major national polls as the top five teams ahead of the Tigers — Alabama, Florida, Oregon, Kansas State and Notre Dame — remained unbeaten.
A&M, its five-game winning streak snapped, fell to 5-2 and 2-2 and slipped from No. 20 to No. 22 in The Associated Press Top 25.
LSU now has an open date before hosting No. 1-ranked Alabama on Nov. 3 (7 p.m., CBS) in a game that will again have enormous SEC West and BCS championship implications.
Alabama hosts surprising No. 13 Mississippi State (both 7-0, 4-0) this Saturday (7:30 p.m., ESPN).

Can I bring my own vendors?
We are a catering company that owns the Hazlehurst House so any food and beverage has to be taken care of through the venue. However, all other vendors are welcome. We do have some license requirements, liability insurance requirements, etc., however, all professional vendors will have this information readily available. We would be honored to work with your selected vendor!
How far in advance do I have to book my wedding date?
Technically, there is no "deadline", but securing your desired date is key to being able toconfirm all other vendors. Your venue is a key component to your wedding planning process and priority needs to be placed on securing your desired date and location as soon as possible.
Can I make changes to the packages?
Absolutely! We customize for each bride. We have simply put together starting packages to give you a place to begin and to help you establish budgets.
Do I have flexibility with menus?
Absolutely! We customize menus all the time for our brides. You are not limited to what is in print.
Will I get to do a tasting before my wedding day?
Yes, you will. We host several events throughout the year where we have food and cake tastings, along with great speakers from the industry to help give you inspiration for planning and resources for vendors you may be seeking. Each event is unique and is combined with great décor ideas as well.
What are your weather provisions?
On occasion, weather does not cooperate with our event schedule. We ask that you make a decision concerning the location of your ceremony and/or reception 48 hours prior to your event based on the weather forecast at that time. For example, if you are planning an outdoor ceremony, and the forecast does not look favorable, you could decide at that time to move your ceremony to our indoor space. This allows proper time for planning and ensures that your day is not compromised in any way.
How many guests can you accommodate?
The short answer to this question is up to 300. However, the style of your reception, whether that is buffet style, formal- seated, or cocktail style, will determine an appropriate guest count maximum for your event.
From The Knot:
What is the cost of an average wedding today? I've heard it's around $20,000. Is this off base?
"Though it depends on where you live, that figure's really not that far off—it's actually a little low. In a recent survey conducted by The Knot, it was revealed that the average wedding is now about $27,800. However, bear in mind that weddings cost more in large urban areas. This figure also includes those lucky brides and grooms who get $40,000-and-up weddings thrown for them, so that does slightly bring up the average."
Catersource magazine also weights in on wedding budgets citing:
"The average wedding budget today as $27,021, up from $26,894, with $61 being the average per person spent on catering."

WHEELING - RG Steel plans to idle its operations in Wheeling, Ohio and Maryland and warned employees Thursday to expect "a lot" of layoffs.
The decision will not affect the Mountain State Carbon coke-making facility in Follansbee, which is part of a joint venture, RG Steel spokeswoman Bette Kovach said.
Widespread layoffs, potentially even plant closings, could be ordered within the next 60 days. The company said there is "continued uncertainty" surrounding efforts to persuade lenders to loan them working capital needed to maintain operations.
The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, or WARN, requires companies with 100 or more employees to notify their work force 60 calendar days prior to a plant closing or mass layoffs. But issuing such a notice does not mean the layoffs or plant closing will materialize.
Jerry Conners, president of the Yorkville United Steelworkers of America Local 1223, confirmed WARN letters had been issued, although he had not yet received a copy Thursday.
"I believe this is, once again, in preparation of some type of court action to come," said Conners.
Company officials said they intend to idle hot steelmaking and finishing operations at the Sparrows Point steel mill outside Baltimore as well as hot steelmaking in Warren, Ohio, and finishing operations in Wheeling, which finishes steel made in Warren.
"That's basically the company," Kovach said.
The Sparrows Point plant has about 2,000 employees. Kovach did not release figures on employment and expected layoffs in Ohio and West Virginia.
"A lot. I don't know the exact number because we will be putting the plants into asset protection," Kovach said.
Union officials have said about 700 RG Steel workers remain on the job in the Ohio Valley, less than a third of the local work force. Tony Montana, a spokesman for the USW, said the union represents about 4,000 workers at RG Steel. Half are at Sparrows Point and the remaining 2,000 are split about equally between the West Virginia and Ohio plants.
Maryland labor officials said they had been notified that layoffs would begin June 4 and run through June 18 at Sparrows Point. The Maryland Department of Labor said 1,975 employees there would be affected, 1,714 hourly and 261 salaried employees.
Kovach said earlier this week that the company is considering selling assets. The spokeswoman confirmed Monday reports that potential buyers have expressed interest in acquiring company facilities and said all options are on the table.
RG is free to negotiate a sale, but under the terms of its contract the USW has the power to halt any deal its members don't like. The USW has exercised that option in the past, backing the ill-fated Esmark over a bid from a Brazilian steelmaker in 2006, and Russia's Severstal Steel over a bid for Esmark by India's Essar in 2008, and Renco Group, RG Steel's parent company, over bids from two other companies in 2011.
Dave McCall, who chairs the USW team negotiating with RG Steel, said in a statement that the union "is continuing to work closely with RG Steel management to improve the company's liquidity during this process, and we are focused on preserving the tradition of making steel in these communities for the long term."

Houston Nutt Addresses Cell Phone Bill Issue
By: Matt Turner
Updated: April 16, 2007
Monday in Little Rock, Nutt was asked by a reporter if he would like to address the issue and Nutt responded by saying, -"I think at the proper time that's going to happen. My attorney is handling everything. He's told me right now not to say anything but at the proper time I think all those things will be addressed. We'll look forward to doing that."
Nutt was then asked about the difficulty of focusing during the offseason. He replied by saying, "Well, whats tough is when there's rumors and malicious rumors that hurt when there's no truth to it and it's your family. I mean, it's a little easier for me although you don't like it. It's your family, it's your children, it's your wife who I''ve been with 24 years. That's the toughest thing. They know, they understand what's going on. I think with talking to our lawyers and everything, hopefully this will be over soon."
