Charlotte-based company to close Brunswick plant

WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) — A Charlotte-based chemical company says it will close its Brunswick County plant by the end of September, putting 600 people out of work. The company announced its decision Wednesday at a news conference in Wilmington. DAK Americas president Jorge Young said the decision was based on economics. Young said closing the Navassa plant will strengthen its ability to supply markets and can be done using existing facilities. Mayor Eulis Willis said he was concerned about the shutdown, asking specifically how the town and county would be able to replace the jobs. He said local residents will have to figure out how to work and eat. In 2008, the U.S. Marine boatyard shut down in Navassa, costing 270 jobs. DAK Americas has five other plants in the U.S., Mexico and Argentina. ©2013 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. ...

VILLAGE OF QUEEN Charlotte - A preferred proponent has been selected to design and build the new $50-million Queen Charlotte/Haida Gwaii Hospital. "The announcement of the company that will design and build this new facility is an exciting step forward in the Queen Charlotte/Haida Gwaii Hospital replacement project," said Health Minister Terry Lake. "This project represents our ongoing commitment to investing in new health-care facilities and services for residents of northern B.C." Bouygues (pronounced Bweeg) Building Canada has been selected as the preferred proponent to build the replacement hospital in partnership with architect Perkins+Will, which will design the new facility. The naming of the company follows an extensive evaluation of the three teams that were shortlisted to design and build the new hospital. The Queen Charlotte/Haida Gwaii Hospital is scheduled for completion in fall 2015. The next stage in the process is to conclude negotiations with Bouygues Building Canada - a process that is expected to result in a fixed-priced agreement by summer 2013. Construction on the new hospital will begin immediately after the agreement is signed. "We're looking forward to construction beginning on the new Queen Charlotte/Haida Gwaii Hospital this summer," said Carol Kulesha, Village of Queen Charlotte mayor and North West Regional Hospital District vice-chair.

Hit The Floor Star Charlotte Ross On Battling With Jelena And Jumping Into Bed With Pete Davenport

This season on Hit The Floor , the only person who’s been able to put Jelena Howard in her place is her direct superior, Olivia Vincent . With obvious parallels in both their talent and unbridled ambition, the Devil Girl Captain and the Devil Girl Director frequently clash, with Olivia coming out on top time and again after some epic stare downs. Known for her roles on NYPD Blue and Glee , actress Charlotte Ross is a veteran in the television game and a style inspiration to us all, especially those who are forced to spend their days around gym shorts and sneakers. On HTF her character is married to a basketball legend, constantly decked out in Herve Leger and Christian Louboutin, and spends her days schmoozing with premium ticket buyers. In real life, Ross is even more glamorous–as seen when she stopped by the VH1 offices dripping in gorgeous Roberto Cavalli. We chatted with the woman in charge about the stereotypes that can come with portraying strong female characters on television, as well as the dirty little secret from Olivia’s past with Sloane and Pete . How do you see Olivia and Jelena’s relationship? They’ve taken similar paths in life, but constantly clash over Devil Girl power. CR : When Logan [Browning] and I see our scenes, we get excited to do them because they are filled with sparks and they’re really fun to play. The dance that we do with the writing and the acting in the scenes is kind of a fun one-upmanship that ...
