U.S. Figure Skating announced the relaunch of northcarolina2011.com, the official Web site of the 2011 U.S. Figure Skating Championships at the Greensboro Coliseum.

"The relaunch of the Web site is an exciting reminder that the U.S. Figure Skating Championships are now less than 11 months away," said Hill Carrow, chairman of the 2011 championships. "The new look of the Web site, as well as the additional content, provides added momentum as we work toward the arrival of this major event in Greensboro."

BEM Interactive, official Web marketing firm of the 2011 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, completed the redesign. A mobile platform also was created to allow the site to be tailored to viewing on mobile devices.

"Digital marketing initiatives will ramp up in the coming weeks including aggressive search and social marketing campaigns," said Malinda Pengelly, president of BEM Interactive. "Targeted email campaigns and opt-in text messaging will keep fans up to date on events as they occur."

The 2011 U.S. Figure Skating Championships are Jan. 22-30. This will be the first time in the event's 96-year history that it will be held in North Carolina and the first time all three major components of the championships -- competition, practice and FanFest -- will take place at one venue.

OUTDOORS

HATCHERY-SUPPORTED TROUT OPENER: The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission will open approximately 1,000 miles of hatchery-supported trout waters in 25 western counties at 7 a.m. April 3. The season will run until 30 minutes after sunset Feb. 28, 2011.

While fishing on hatchery-supported trout waters, anglers can harvest a maximum of seven trout per day, with no minimum size and no bait restrictions.

Hatchery-supported trout waters, marked by green-and-white signs, are stocked repeatedly from March until August every year. Many of these waters are stocked monthly, although some heavily fished waters are stocked more frequently.

For a detailed list of hatchery-supported trout waters and regulation information, as well as trout maps and weekly stocking summaries on hatchery-supported trout waters, visit the commission's Web site at www.ncwildlife.org/fishing.

Note that weekly stocking information appears online for only seven days and that updates are posted Fridays after trout are stocked.
