California This Site
The Abandoned Mine Lands Unit (AMLU) was created in 1997 to prepare a report to the governor and legislature on the "magnitude and scope" of the abandoned mine lands issue in California. This report was completed in June 2000 and is available electronically on this website (please click here).
California Abandoned Mine Lands Program Fact Sheets (PDF)
On August 7, 2012, the AMLU announced the release of the invitation for bid (IFB) entitled "OMR2012-002 Statewide Mine Closure Services". The deadline for submitting a bid package was 9/4/2012 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. A Notice of Intent to Award has been posted. All questions relating to this IFB must be directed in writing or via email to Debbie DuVall at email@example.com (916) 322-2229. Following review, written responses to questions about the IFB or bid process will be posted on this website and forwarded via email to all bidders. For a copy of the IFB click here.
What's happening in Abandoned Mine Lands?
The AMLU's work has been recognized with the Fix A Shaft Today! Award from the federal Bureau of Land Management. For more information, click here.
California AML Information
AMLU estimates of the number of abandoned mines in California include the following:
Approximately 165,000 mine features* on more than 47,000 abandoned mine sites exist statewide.
More than 39,400 abandoned mines (84 percent of 47,000 sites) present physical safety hazards, and approximately 5,200 (11 percent) present environmental hazards.
More than 62,000 abandoned mine features (38 percent of 165,000 features) are hazardous openings.
Federal lands contain approximately 67 percent of the abandoned mines in the State (primarily on Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and U.S. Forest Service property). Approximately 31 percent are on private lands, and about 2 percent are on State or local lands.
* A feature is a single human-made object or disturbance associated with mining, such as a shaft or adit (vertical or horizontal opening), tailings, machinery and facilities, etc. A mine can be comprised of one or more features.
For more information click here. For a statewide map showing California abandoned mines, including remediated, inventoried and U.S. Geological Survey mapped mine feature locations, please click here.
We have a toll free number, 877-OLD-MINE, that the public may call to report abandoned mines. While we try to perform field visits to reported sites as soon as possible, resource constraints and other obligations limit the availability of staff.
Additional "Stay Out, Stay Alive" information is available on the website of the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA).
Since 1997, the AMLU has conducted field inventories of more than 28,000 mine features on more than 2,800 abandoned mine sites on public and private lands in California. This field inventory program is designed to accurately locate abandoned mines and to provide a preliminary assessment of any health and safety hazards observed. AMLU Remediations
Since 2002, the AMLU has helped to remediate more than 630 hazardous abandoned mine features, in partnership with more than two dozen local, state and federal partners. Most AMLU projects involve the remediation of physical hazards. Techniques to remediate hazardous mine openings and associated debris include: wire fencing; backfills; polyurethane foam (PUF) closures; bat-compatible gates, cupolas, and culvert gates; other closures, including blasting shut, fitting with concrete plugs or steel caps, etc.; demolition of unstable structures; and removal of hazardous debris and trash. All work is conducted in accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) environmental reviews performed by the land-owning agencies.
To see some examples of AMLU Remediations, please click here.For a list of remediation partners, click here.
The Department of Conservation convenes the California Abandoned Mine Lands Forum to provide a venue for discussion and coordination on water quality, safety and environmental hazard issues that agencies and other groups face with their abandoned mine land remediation projects in California.

Now my mom wants to go, my aunt calls for tickets, and my teachers from High School frequent the shows. Once upon a time, he was a devil without a cause, now he is all religous during his shows, making me feel as if he is a zealot without a cause. The lyrics and content used to be on the edge, its what made him who he is, now its pathetic and same ole same ole. Why do I hold on?

I suppose I have a slightly unique situation in regards to my security implementation. Bear in mind I am a complete newbie to J2EE, Spring and Acegi so if I mess up terminology or am completely wrong in a certain sense let me know but be nice
So I am developing security architecture for a J2EE web app running on WebSphere Portal Server 5.1. We are currently using Spring as a middle tier IoC framework, JSF for the presentation tier, and WebSphere managed security against an IBM Tivoli Directory Server (LDAP). Id like to use Acegi in our architecture as it provides many advantages over the container managed WebSphere security. Most importantly it would allow my architecture team to push new security configurations to developers via source code control without having to reconfigure WebSphere instances (which you need to do if you use WebSpheres security). Also the declarative approach to fine grained security would also make the lives of developers MUCH easier. If life were only this easy ..
Im not entirely sure why but I am told that we must use WebSphere security for authentication and that we can use Acegi for authorization. To me this can either translate as using JaasAuthenticationProvider or AuthByAdapterProvider. Im not sure which one would provide the WebSphere container managed authentication and allow Acegi to handle authorization policies.
If I need to use AuthByAdapterProvider then I must ask if anyone has written a Web Sphere adapter. If not than I would like to be pointed to a reference explaining how to write a container adapter. Clearly this reference would need to explain the hooks into a container that Acegi needs and the hooks into Acegi that the container would need. Just reading the provided adapters I checked out of CVS gave me little frame of reference towards a solution.
I am also wondering if I will run into any bumps in the road with JSF and Acegi or Acegi and WebSphere Portal Filters (Our porlets are written using JSR168 Standard)
Thanks for the help.

MANCHESTER— Only one of three candidates vying for the top job at Manchester schools currently holds a superintendent's job, and all three come from school districts significantly smaller than Manchester.
Officials said the three finalists will be in Manchester next week. They will visit schools, participate in a community forum and then undergo closed-door interviews with the Manchester School Board.
The board will have the final say on who is selected to run the school district of about 15,400 students starting this summer, when Tom Brennan leaves the job of superintendent, which he held for four years.
"They're all a little bit different, which I think is better than bringing three identical people to the district," said Ted Rokas, Ward 5 school board member and chairman of the Superintendent Selection Committee.
The three are:
• Vince Cotter, retired superintendent of the Colonial School District in Pennsylvania, a suburban district that educates students in boroughs and townships northwest of Philadelphia.
• Mark Toback, superintendent of schools in Hoboken, N.J., a city across the Hudson River from Manhattan.
• Geoffery Gordon, former superintendent in Port Washington, N.Y., a community on the northwestern edge of Long Island.
Although a Manchester schools news release reported Gordon as the current superintendent in Port Washington, the Port Washington schools website lists another person as superintendent. Rokas said the district statement is mistaken and said he is to blame.
"I believe he said he was a superintendent for 10 years, and now he is a consultant," Rokas said.
The acting human resources director for Port Washington schools said a reporter would have to file a Freedom of Information request for any information about Gordon, including his dates of employment.
Manchester is far bigger than the districts associated with the three finalists. Port Washington had about 5,000 students in 2010-11, according to its New York State report card; Hoboken had 1,730 student last year, according to New Jersey state data; the Colonial School District in Pennsylvania had about 4,700 students, according to its website.
When asked about the size of the districts the three hail from, Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas responded: "It doesn't tell you anything. It has nothing to do with anything."
Seventy-eight candidates applied for the position, according to the statement released by the school district. Proact Search, a company involved in the selection, presented 11 names to the Superintendent Selection Committee.
The committee conducted online interviews with eight, and narrowed the list to Cotter, Gordon and Toback.
Rokas said all three will participate in a community forum next Monday at 7 p.m. at Memorial High School.
Only one of three Manchester superintendent finalists is currently a superintendent

AnythingSlider config w/ php files
I've recently finished a video based web site that links multiple YT playlists by category in a simple html and css layout, the trick was the config; that was done with php. The problem I'm having is with the AnythingSlider in the footer. It's link'd via <?php include('AnythingSlider.php/footer1.php');?> As a stand alone the demo slider displays on Localhost as intended. when link'd, it shows the html; no pics, no vid and there's no box or nav tabs, buttons etc.... I've been at this a day and half now, any help would be greatly appreciated. My experience is limited to html/css/php w/ zero js/jquery; I know it when I see it and can work around it. It's gotta be a config issue. If ya got any solutions let me know, thanks, J
Hi Porter!
It almost sounds like there might be a problem in the way the page is included. But , I'm not great with php so I'm only guessing here.
It would help us trouble shoot the problem better if you shared some of your code. Also make sure to check your console (press F12) to look for any javascript errors.
You have a directory named
? I'd start by double-checking that path.As @Mottie says, more code is necessary for more troubleshooting.

FAQs on the Future of Flash Platform for Mobile, Tablets and Desktops
Many people have been making guesses what happened now that Flash Player for Mobile will not be supported in the future. Here's the official answers from Adobe.
Adobe announced to increase its efforts on HTML5, use of the Flash Player for applications (packaged with AIR) and specific desktop browsing use cases including premium video and console-quality gaming. As a result, Adobe will no longer develop Flash Player for mobile web browsers. See this Flash Platform blog post for more details. Does this mean that Adobe is no longer supporting content publishers focused on delivering content via a browser on a mobile device? Adobe offers world-class tools and technologies including HTML5 tools like Edge that allow content publishers and developers to bring rich content and experiences across mobile web browsers using HTML5. What does this mean for Flash Player support on desktops? Adobe is fully committed to providing a great experience for use cases not yet well supported by HTML, including console quality gaming and premium video. In fact, Flash Player 11 just introduced dozens of new features, including hardware accelerated 3D graphics for console-quality gaming and premium HD video with content protection. Why is Adobe making this move now? All the major platform providers (Android, iOS, Windows 8) are betting on HTML5 for browsing, some even to the point of excluding third party plug-ins such as Flash Player. Adobe sees this as the right time to increase our focus on accelerating the development of HTML for in browser experiences, especially on mobile (phones and tablets), and general purpose apps, while using Flash to drive what's possible in advanced interactive entertainment areas like console-quality gaming and premium video so that it can continue to serve as a blueprint for further work on HTML. Flash developers get the greatest reach by targeting mobile devices with apps packaged with AIR, and that is where we are investing while helping the mobile browsers advance the state of the art of what can be done in a browser. Will Adobe continue to support AIR? On Mobile? On TVs? Adobe is fully committed to enabling Flash based apps via AIR on mobile and digital home devices. Will the Flash Player continue to be available on the Android Market? Yes. The current version of Flash will be available on the Android Market in the near future. When will Adobe stop supporting Flash Player for browsing on mobile? Adobe will release one more version of the Flash Player for mobile browsing, which will provide support for Android 4.0, and one more release of the Flash Linux Porting Kit - both expected to be released before the end of this year. After that time, Adobe will continue to provide critical bug fixes and security updates. What will happen with Flash Player support on RIM's BBX platform? Adobe will continue to support RIM's use of the Flash Player on the current PlayBook configurations with critical bug fixes and security updates. RIM has done a great job optimizing the Flash Player for their platform and as a result the RIM playbook provides a great experience for consuming Flash content. RIM is expected to leverage their expertise with Flash to continue to support and ship the Flash Player on BBX devices for the foreseeable future. Will the current version of Flash Player support smartphones and tablets that are coming to market over the coming weeks and months? It depends on the version of the OS, silicon, and browser supported on the device. Will Adobe stop OEMs from shipping Flash Player on devices? No, Adobe will not stop OEMs from pre-loading and shipping the Flash Player. Adobe expects OEM partners to opt to continue working on and releasing their own implementations of the Flash Player. However, Adobe will be recommending mobile OEMs discontinue pre-loading new devices with Flash Player due to expected OS and browser compatibility issues. However, existing licensees can continue shipping Flash Player at the manufacturer's discretion. Will 3D support and any of the console-quality Flash games you demoed at MAX come to mobile devices? Yes, game developers will be able to bring console-quality games with hardware accelerated 3D graphics to mobile devices as Flash based apps packaged with AIR. On the desktop 3D games can be delivered with Flash within the browser or as a Flash based app via AIR. However, 3D content will not be supported in Flash Player on mobile browsers. What does this mean for Flex? Flex SDK 4.5 supports the development of mobile applications that target, or are packaged with AIR. Mobile applications built with Flex SDK are installed on phone or tablet devices and do not rely upon the browser or Adobe Flash Player to run; as such, they are unaffected by this announcement. How does this affect other Flash Platform tools? This news has no impact on the Flash platform tooling offerings (e.g. Flash Builder) from Adobe. Is Flash getting more and more replaced by HTML5? How will Adobe advance Flash Player on desktops and stay relevant? Adobe continues to invest in Flash to deliver the most advanced web experiences on desktops, focusing on features that are not yet available in HTML5. Flash Player 11 just introduced dozens of new features, including hardware accelerated 3D graphics for console-quality gaming and premium HD video with content protection. Flash developers can take advantage of these features, and all that Flash has to offer, to reach more than a billion desktops through their browsers and repurpose their content to hundreds of millions of mobile devices through popular App Stores using Flash based apps packaged/enabled with AIR. Adobe is working on the next version of Flash Player and a new round of exciting features which is to advance what is possible for delivering high definition entertainment experiences across the Web and devices. Designing new features in Flash for a smooth transition to HTML5 as the standards evolve so developers can confidently invest knowing their skills will continue to be leveraged. How many Flash-based apps are available on App Stores today? There are thousands of Flash based apps available on App Stores like Android Market, AppWorld, or Amazon's App Store. Popular and top rated examples include Machinarium, Politifact, Dr Stanley's House, Facebook on BlackBerry, WatchESPN etc. How are Flash-based apps different from HTML5 apps? Flash based apps deliver features and capabilities not yet supported in HTML5 such as 3D graphics or content protection for premium video. Developers are able to deliver high-end entertainment experiences as Flash based apps packaged via AIR on mobile platforms and within the browser on desktops. What about Flash Player and support for web browsing on TV's (Google TV, Samsung SmartTVs and other connected Digital Home devices)? Adobe will continue to support existing licensees who are planning on supporting Flash Player for web browsing on digital home devices and are using the Flash Player Porting Kit to do so. Adobe have the right approach to deliver content on televisions is through applications, not a web browsing experience, and will continue to encourage the device and content publishing community down that path. What happens to Flash browsing support in the Google TV solution? Adobe recommends asking Google, but believes Google has no immediate plans to remove the Flash Player from the Google TV browser. Do you regret having waited so long after Steve Jobs predicted that Flash Player won't work on mobile devices 1.5 years ago? HTML5 has matured and is able to deliver a great web browsing experiences across mobile devices. At the same time users consume rich content almost exclusively via apps on smartphones and tablets today. Adobe is focused on delivering the best tools and technologies for our developers and content publishers so they can offer the best possible experiences to their customers across platforms - from desktops to smartphones, from tablets to TVs. Is this expected to improve the relationship between Adobe and Apple? Adobe and Apple have a longstanding relationship and Mac and iOS users are very important to Adobe. Like with any other company in the industry we work closely with Apple in specific areas like support for our Creative Suite products on Mac OS while we compete in other areas like video editing tools. What platforms and browsers will Adobe continue to support with Flash Player for browsing? Adobe plans to continue to support Apple Mac OS X and Safari; Google Chrome Browser for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows and Intel-based Chrome OS; Microsoft Intel based Windows and desktop Internet Explorer; and cooperate with other third-party browser providers such as Mozilla and Opera. How will content publishers serving premium video reach mobile devices? Content publishers can continue to stream premium, Flash based video content across platforms and devices including the iPhone and iPad using Flash Media Server 4.5. Does Adobe intend to bring HTML5's capabilities to full parity with Flash Player? If yes, then why continue supporting Flash Player for desktop? HTML5 today cannot replace Flash Player as a platform for delivering console gaming or premium video experience on desktop computers. Adobe plans to leverage its expertise around these use cases to help HTML5 catch up to the Flash Player. Will Adobe create Flash Player for Windows 8 on ARM and Windows 8 on X86? Adobe's plan is to continue supporting Flash Player for browsing on desktops going forward with Windows 8 on X86 only.

Quinn to give State of the State address this week
By: Brittany Harris/WCIA-3 News
Updated: February 5, 2013
SPRINGFIELD -- In just two days, Governor Quinn will give one of his biggest speeches of the year. So how are lawmakers feeling about it?
Some are optimistic, while others are more skeptical. Most agreed they want to hear about reform, especially when it comes to the pension crisis. The problem is costing the state about $17 million a day.Republicans, democrats, and unions have been divided on what to do with the systems. Representative Ramon Poe says they need to find a way to work together and hopes Governor Quinn will offer some direction.
As far as other issues he hopes to hear about, he says he'd like Quinn to address unpaid bills and the future of the state's economy. Two things that affect the budget.
The governor will speak at noon Wednesday in the House chamber. Tune in to WCIA-3 for live team coverage.

A Round painted pin guard for additional accuracy, no-clamp gang adjustment, and 2nd and 3rd axis adjustment. If you are serious about your shooting and want maximum adjustment and accuracy. Think Hogg-It or Hogg-It Hunter.

NEW COMMUNITY PLAYLIST: Gunplay
Like (5)
This weekend, on March 30th, we will be adding three FFA gunplay modes to the Community Playlists on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
The new modes are available to ALL players.
The FFA Gunplay playlist cycles 4 different modes:
There are 2 Gun Game variations.
-One variation uses an 18 gun progression including 2 sniper rifles to separate the men from the boys.
-The second variation cycles 6 guns 3 times (no sniper rifles) so learn the 6 gun progression and pace yourself through the 3 waves.
One In The Chamber uses the P99 handgun.
-Players begin with one bullet and earn a bullet for every kill (with gun or tactical knife).
-Elimination occurs after 3 deaths but the last 3 players will be visible on the mini-map to keep the action rolling.
-Eliminated players can chase remaining players in spectator mode and back a winner of their choosing by selecting them.
-Selecting a player that you're spectating gives you 150 XP for each of their subsequent kills so you can still stay in the game after you're eliminated.
Lastly there is a new variation on Free For All that was created by our community and we LOVE. Players call it All Or Nothing.
-All players spawn with the USP .45 handgun with no ammo and a Throwing Knife.
-The loadout includes the Hardline perk and Specialist point streak with Scavenger in the first slot.
-As you get kills, you pick up scavenger packs and get ammo.
-Once you're killed you spawn back with no ammo and start again.
-It's like One in the Chamber meets Infected with plenty of hilarity mixed in.
All feedback should be directed to twitter @InfinityWard.
Wooo! These sound really fun. although tell me, are we going to have another "wtf u deleted dropzone/infected mode" to enjoy these new ones?
And regarding gun game, do you win by finishing the progression of levels like in Black Ops, or just whoever has the most kills (and the progression resets once you reach the final weapon)
Darn you got the question out first.
But yes are the other game modes beind dropped or moshed to make room? Or are other lower played game modes in other playlists being moshed to make room?
Not losing anything, this will be in addition to Infected and Drop Zone.
A surprise to say the least, but a welcome one too.
What about his other question :S
I think I just lost respect for CoD...smh
Awesome think I may enjoy thses modes as long as people dont use it to boost like on Infected. In fact are you taking Infected out please say you are ?
Always consoles...
Why always consoles? Plenty of PC-Gamers. We want updates too!
Get right or get Left.
Look foward to All or Nothing the most
Sounds dam fun
what about lag, will be lag compensation ever fixed?
is Ghandi ever coming back to this forum?
If you disabled K/D for community playlists (like Treyarch's Wager Mode) then I would play infected and other modes more often as they are fun. My K/D takes a hammering.
I agree, my K/D is going to plummet. I could really care less, though, as long as I'm having fun.
This looks pretty good.
One thing I'm curious about is when the DLC maps will be added to the community playlist. I've played a lot of infected but still haven't seen any DLC maps there. Is it off the table for some reason?
Tell me BanCandy, Is the "Lag Comp" issue ever getting fixed? Game is still unplayable for large part of community.
Sounds fun, loved one in the chamber from Black Ops
yea plus you get XP if you back the winner
Instead of introducing new game modes WTF don't you fix whats wrong with this game? or at least try to.
Why bring lag comp to this thread? Ban Candy is a member of the Security Team, not teh network team! Leave her alone!
I don't know how All or Nothing will play out, but I look forward to Gun Game. I still say you should implement my idea, have XP bonuses for 1 2 and 3rd place. I think 10k,7.5k and 5k respectively would be good.
Defending one of the team members and not attacking over issues like the rest? OMGWTFBBQ
If they hadn't just lost the Stealth Clown, I'd say a member of the security team shouldn't be releasing these updates to the public anyways. I guess they need to make due with what they have for now.
Either way, I agree with your point.
Looks great Ban Candy.
Wonder how many kills the All or Nothing game will have to win. MOAB?
What time are all these coming out?
Im really pumped for these, but i wish they wouldnt all be in one playlist.
Fixing this game would be awesome too!
Well, as much as I agree, let's not start blaming Bancandy or getting on her for these things. She's mostly around for the banning of cheaters, and has probably been tasked as the person who "informs" the community on things.
First I must Thank as new game modes are added and ealier mdoes stay as well
Game has improved since the release.
I am still not happy with Lag...........
But for a game took 16 days to reach 1Billion USD in sails..........it is still cheap not to introduce the Combat Training/AI bots........
We can agree that you may not get enought time earlier to do so because of fixed release date and mass exodus of IW staff..........But now gamers deserve few more things and I can assure you a big section of COD community will love this and stay positive for next COD titles.
I don't know how much effort and Dollors needed for it.......but if COD cann't do it than it is a step in backward direction.......This game is part of POP culture now and we can wish things like this
bag of demons!
Very exciting news, looking forward to some new modes. Nice one IW/Sledgehammer
I like the new modes but gun game is a bit weird, you start out with alot of good guns, M4 ACR and at the end you get pistols. You should start with pistols, maybe magnum tac knife then another pistol then shotguns then smgs then AR's then launchers like BO? I'm not hating, I love the new modes
The game modes are great in theory, but thanks to the fact that it's 100% connection based, they suck online. Did a few, and I'm already done with them, no point in playing them if I'm going to be punished because my connection isn't from walmart.
the new game modes are extreamly fun but it gets hit really hard from "revenge spawn"
True, revenge spawns are hard but oh wel, it's still alot of fun!
I wish they kept stats out of this playlist. Everyone camps in corners amking this playlist extremely frustrating.
Guys you have to put the Infected game mode and GunGame mode as well to Community Playlist ON PC TOO! please! we really need it!

There is a range of accommodation available in Greece to suit every taste and pocket. All places to stay are subject to strict price controls set by the tourist police. By law, a notice must be displayed in every room, stating the category of the room and the price charged in each season. It's difficult to generalise accommodation prices in Greece as rates depend entirely on the season and location. Don't expect to pay the same price for a double on one of the islands as you would in central Greece or Athens.

10 20 30Pram and Carriage Strollers
Prams and carriages are the most classic and elegant looking stroller type. A carriage is the ideal stroller to use for taking long leisurely walks with your baby.
This classic type of stroller typically used for newborns since they have fully reclined seats that allow the baby to lie down while facing the pusher of the stroller. This type of design is perfect for newborns that sleep most of the time since it is basically a bassinet on wheels.
When your baby is strolled in a pram, he is protected from bright sunlight and side drafts of wind by the high sides of the stroller and the hood or canopy.
While prams tend to be more expensive than traditional strollers are, they are high quality, durable strollers that will last. Today most models have reversible handles that allow them to convert into toddler strollers so that parents can continue to use the stroller as their child grows.

Winston-Salem is a city in the U.S. state of North Carolina, with a 2010 population of 229,617. Winston-Salem is the county seat and largest city of Forsyth County and the fifth largest city[3] in the state.[5]
Winston-Salem is the second largest municipality in the Piedmont Triad region and is home to the tallest office building in the region, 100 North Main Street, formerly the Wachovia Building and now known locally as the Wells Fargo Center. Winston-Salem is called the "Twin City" for its dual heritage and "City of the Arts and Innovation" for its dedication to fine arts and theater and technological research. "Camel City" is a reference to the city's historic involvement in the tobacco industry related to locally based R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company's popular Camel cigarettes. Many locals refer to the city as "Winston" in informal speech.
In 2013, the U.S. Office of Management and Budget reconfigured the Winston-Salem MSA by adding the Thomasville-Lexington micropolitan statistical area. The official 2010 Census population for the redefined Winston-Salem, North Carolina MSA was 640,595; according to 2012 Census estimates, the population was 647,697. The Greensboro – Winston-Salem – High Point combined statistical area (CSA), popularly referred to as the Piedmont Triad, had a population of 1,611,243 according 2012 Census estimates.

Overview [edit]
The Old Salem district (1766) and related Historic Bethabara (1753) and Bethania (1759) sites are the city's oldest historical attractions. Also of historical interest is Reynolda Village (which includes Reynolda Gardens and the Reynolda House Museum of American Art). Other sites of interest include the Horne Creek Historic Farm, Tanglewood Park, the SciWorks educational facility, and SECCA, the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art. The city's major sports and entertainment venues are organized in a group known as the Winston-Salem Entertainment-Sports Complex.
The Winston-Salem metropolitan area (MSA) has an estimated population of 468,124 according to the 2008 estimate by the U.S. Census Bureau. As of 2008, the combined statistical area (CSA) of Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point, the Piedmont Triad, has a population of 1,603,101, making it the 30th-largest metropolitan area in the USA.[6]
In 2012, the city was listed among the 10 best places to retire in the U.S. by CBS Money Watch.[7]
History [edit]
Salem [edit]
The origin of the town of Salem dates to January 1753, when Bishop August Gottlieb Spangenberg, on behalf of the Moravian Church, selected a settlement site in the three forks of Muddy Creek. He called this area "die Wachau" (Latin form: Wachovia) named after the ancestral estate of Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf. The land, just short of 99,000 acres (400 km2), was subsequently purchased from John Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville.
On November 17, 1753, the first settlers arrived at what would later become the town of Bethabara. This town, despite its rapid growth, was not designed to be the primary settlement on the tract. Some residents expanded to a nearby settlement called Bethania in 1759. Finally, lots were drawn to select among suitable sites for the location of a new town.
The town established on the chosen site was given the name of Salem (from the Hebrew Shalom for "peace") chosen for it by the Moravians' late patron, Count Zinzendorf. On January 6, 1766, the first tree was felled for the building of Salem. Salem was a typical Moravian settlement congregation with the public buildings of the congregation grouped around a central square, today Salem Square. These included the church, a Brethren's House and a Sisters' House for the unmarried members of the Congregation, which owned all the property in town. For many years only members of the Moravian Church were permitted to live in the settlement. This practice had ended by the American Civil War. Many of the original buildings in the settlement have been restored or rebuilt and are now part of Old Salem Museums & Gardens.[8]
Salem was incorporated as a town in 1854. Salem Square and "God's Acre", the Moravian Graveyard, since 1772 are the site each Easter morning of the world-famous Moravian sunrise service. This service, sponsored by all the Moravian church parishes in the City, attracts thousands of worshippers each year and has earned the name of "the Easter City" for Winston-Salem.[citation needed]
Winston [edit]
In 1849, the Salem congregation sold land north of Salem to the newly formed Forsyth County for a county seat. The new town was called "the county town" or Salem until 1852 when it was named Winston for a local hero of the Revolutionary War, Joseph Winston. For its first two decades, Winston was a sleepy county town. In 1872, work began to connect the town to the North Carolina Railroad. That same year, Thomas Jethro Brown of Davie County rented a former livery stable and established the first tobacco warehouse in Winston. That same year, Pleasant Henderson Hanes, also of Davie, built his first tobacco factory a few feet from Brown's warehouse. In 1875, Richard Joshua Reynolds, of Patrick County, Virginia, built his first tobacco factory a few hundred feet from Hanes' factory. By the 1880s, there were almost 40 tobacco factories in the town of Winston. Hanes and Reynolds would compete fiercely for the next 25 years, each absorbing a number of the smaller manufacturers, until Hanes sold out to Reynolds in 1900 to begin a second career in textiles.
Winston-Salem [edit]
In the 1880s, the US Post Office began referring to the two towns as Winston-Salem. In 1899, after nearly a decade of contention, the United States Post Office Department established the Winston-Salem post office in Winston, with the former Salem office serving as a branch. After a referendum the towns were officially incorporated as "Winston-Salem" in 1913. The USPS Address Information System (AIS) does not recognize the hyphen.[9]
The Reynolds family, namesake of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, played a large role in the history and public life of Winston-Salem. By the 1940s, 60% of Winston-Salem workers worked either for Reynolds or in the Hanes textile factories.[10] The Reynolds company imported so much French cigarette paper and Turkish tobacco for Camel cigarettes that Winston-Salem was designated by the United States federal government as an official port of entry for the United States, despite the city being 200 miles (320 km) inland.[10] Winston-Salem was the eighth-largest port of entry in the United States by 1916.[10]
In 1917, the company bought 84 acres (340,000 m2) of property in Winston-Salem and built 180 houses that it sold at cost to workers, to form a development called "Reynoldstown."[10] By the time R.J. Reynolds died in 1918, his company owned 121 buildings in Winston-Salem.
In 1929, the Reynolds Building was completed in Winston-Salem. Designed by William F. Lamb from the architectural firm Shreve, Lamb and Harmon, the Reynolds Building is a 314 ft (96m) skyscraper that has 21 floors. When completed as the headquarters of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, it was the tallest building in the United States south of Baltimore, Maryland, and it was named the best building of the year by the American Institute of Architects. The building is well known for being the predecessor and prototype for the much larger Empire State Building that was built in 1931 in New York City. Every year the staff of the Empire State Building sends a Father's Day card to the staff at the Reynolds Building in Winston-Salem to pay homage to its role as predecessor to the Empire State Building.
Notable early businesses [edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (February 2012) |
- In 1875, R J Reynolds founded R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company later famous for innovative branded products such as Prince Albert pipe tobacco (1907) and Camel cigarettes (1913). Other brands which it made famous are Winston, Salem, Doral, and Eclipse cigarettes. The Winston-Salem area is still the primary international manufacturing center for Reynolds brands of cigarettes, although employment is down from its peak of nearly 30,000 to under 3,000.
- Wachovia Bank and Trust was formed in 1911 by the merger of Wachovia National Bank (founded 1879) and Wachovia Loan and Trust (founded 1893). The company was purchased by First Union in 2001, which changed its name to Wachovia. Wachovia was purchased by Wells Fargo in 2009, and the Wachovia name was retired in 2011.
- In 1901, J. Wesley Hanes's Shamrock Hosiery Mills in Winston-Salem began making men's socks. Shortly afterward, his brother Pleasant Henderson Hanes founded the Hanes Knitting Company, which manufactured men's underwear. The two firms eventually merged to become the Hanes Corporation, now known as Hanesbrands, innovators in the textile industry.

WATERTOWN, Wis. - The Lakeland College women's basketball team snapped out of an outside shooting slump with nine three-pointers in a 61-54 win over Maranatha Baptist Bible College Tuesday night in a Northern Athletics Conference game.
Leah Eisner (Jr.-Stevens Point, Wis.), Taylor Jandrin (Jr.-Forestville, Wis.) and Dana Henrichs (Sr.-Fall Creek, Wis.) combined for 45 points and the Muskies did enough to win, using a late 10-0 run to gain separation in a close game. Lakeland (8-12 overall, 6-7 NAC) snapped a four-game losing streak and also earned a sweep of the season series against the Crusaders while also gaining on Maranatha in the NAC North Division standings.
The Muskies only trailed twice in the game, both times coming in the first minute, but the game was close throughout and was tied six times. Lakeland led by just two at halftime at 27-25, and the game's last tie came when Laci Peterson hit a three-pointer for Maranatha Baptist with 6:50 to play to knot the score at 46-46.
Lakeland responded by scoring ten straight points. Eisner scored five points in the spurt, including a layup to make it 56-46 with 1:50 left. Just as importantly, the Muskies held the Crusaders scoreless for more than 5 1/2 minutes, as the hosts missed eight straight shots and Lakeland took control.
Eisner scored 16 points, while Jandrin tallied 15 and Henrichs added 14. Becky Mayo (Sr.-Gladstone, Mich.) also grabbed 12 rebounds, adding to her conference-leading average of 9.5 boards per game coming in.
Jandrin and Henrichs made three three-pointers each, and as a team the Muskies made 9-of-19 from behind the three-point line. Lakeland was considerably better from long distance than in close, shooting just 19-of-55 from the field for the game (34.5%) as the Crusaders' tall frontline caused problems.
The Muskies also were out-rebounded 50-36, and Maranatha Baptist collected 21 offensive rebounds. The Crusaders committed 23 turnovers, though, and shot only 32.8% from the field (21-of-64). Laci Peterson led Maranatha with 16 points and 12 rebounds.
Lakeland now trails the Crusaders by three games in the loss column in the NAC North standings. Maranatha Baptist dropped to 9-4 overall and 6-4 in the NAC.
The Muskies hit the road again Saturday to face NAC South Division leader Wisconsin Lutheran College at 2 p.m. in Milwaukee.

White Collar is about the unlikely partnership of a con artist and an FBI agent who have been playing cat and mouse for years. Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer), a charming criminal mastermind, is finally caught by his nemesis, FBI Agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay.)
When Neal escapes from a maximum-security prison to find his long-lost love, Peter nabs him once again. Rather than returning to jail, Neal suggests an alternate plan: He'll provide his criminal expertise to assist the Feds in catching other elusive criminals in exchange for his eventual freedom. Initially wary, Peter quickly finds that Neal provides insight and intuition that can't be found on the right side of the law.
