Already, as more integrated mills shutter their furnaces, the minis keep expanding. Steel Dynamics broke ground on a $315 million structural-steel and rail mill in Columbia City, Ind., last May. And just outside Mobile, Ala., a $35 million heavy-plate and coil mill went online last year, built by the Canadian firm IPSCO. Why did IPSCO invest in Alabama? A $500 million package of tax breaks and subsidies, including money for roads, rail service and docks along the Mobile River, helped attract the company, said a spokesman.

...tenth of what a typical American steelworker earns. The Slovak government helps pay USSK's retiree health and pension costs. Unions are virtually non-existent.

...have five days to spare? Doctors in the U.S. and Europe think they may be able to deliver all the radiation that's needed while a woman is still on the operating table. In an experiment conducted on 15 women in England, physicians inserted a tiny coil into the cavity created by the removal of a tumor. The bottom of the coil was shielded in lead to protect the heart and lungs, while the breast tissue was stretched around the coil. As the surgical team left the room to avoid exposure, the device delivered a full course of radiation treatment...
...experimental technique, which takes place while the woman is still on the operating table, involves a tiny coil that's inserted into the cavity created by the removal of the tumor. In 25 minutes, the device emits all the radiation that's needed; then it's removed. So far, the coil has been tested on only 15 patients, who were treated about a year and a half ago. None of the 15 has seen their breast cancer return...
...breast is about the same as the risk of occurrence in the other, healthy breast. "When you realize this, you realize that many women probably don't need drastic treatment." says Dr. Jayant Vaidya, a breast surgeon at the University College London in England who helped develop the radiation coil...
