I was lookin for a hop fix today so I grabbed this and it filled the need but it could have been better.Poured into an oversized wine glass a hazed burnt orange with a thinner but pretty well retained slight off white head atop.Aromas are lighter but they are appetizing quite floral with some citric notes to be expected along with a pronounced biscuit malt compnent.Mouthfeel is a little light wich actually keeps the big flavors from being hammered home in my mind the flavors are nice though starting out floral and citrusy with a big resiny finish all along a semi-sweet caramel biscuit base is there holding up well to the hops.Man this could be really really good beef up the mouthfeel to enhance the flavors and its a big winner as is its still pretty good.

Appearance - This poured a beautiful deep, rich orange in color with a nice, pure white head.
Smell - The big pine and orange hops manage to compliment instead of drown out the luscious, malty backbone. The malt is rich and sweet like melted caramel.
Taste - Yes, this is a classic DIPA. The hops are really big and would tromp most beers, but this big fella has a super-strong malt base that is caramel-laden and very sugary sweet from all angles.
Mouthfeel - This medium-bodied DIPA is rich, mouth-watering, very lightly carbonated, and slick across the cheeks.
Drinkability - This is not too big for your average craft beer lover yet big enough to garnish the respect of style fans. Rightly done.

A- Nice copper color a small head that fall quickly leaving nice lacing and barely and head.
Nothing to special.
S- Sweet pine and citrus note dominate the nose with mild malty backbone. Freshly cut grass also comes to mind.
T- Complex fruit flavor of grapefruit, raisens, and plums. Very grassy hop flavor is obvious. Hop bitterness is just right. Excellent for style.
M-D- Easy on the buds if you like a good bitter bomb. Light carbonation allow the mouth to feel the alcohol on the tongue. Drinkable to any means. Love it.

Pours a slightly turbid (it's unfiltered) tawny brew with a decent amount of creamy froth on top that's got some legs.
Fresh malts in the nose, bready, along with a hefty dose of hops that ranges from resiny to mildly soapy to fruity grapefruit.
Smooth on the palate, creamy, and a bit chewy and juicy. Citric hop flavors smack the palate around with a slight sting, resiny stick, saltiness, and grapefruit. Fruity flavors mellow things down with soft apple edges. Estery with an aggressive alcohol that's spicy and warming. Touch of toffee maltly sweetness blends in and rides to the finish, which is dry and a bit burnt-like with a lingering resiny/ash character.
Not a bad example of the style, but it's a bit green and rough around the edges. The alcohol presence could use some subduing too.

served on draught in a pint glass.
A - looks great in a cloudy golden color with a one finger white head.
S - lots of citrus, grapefruit including the peel.
T - earthy tones before the hops kick in and linger. lots of bitterness hangs around the mouth.
M - medium carbonation. a bit of a bite to it. not bad.
D - the bitterness may become overwhelming for a session, but this is a nice beer to drink. i enjoyed it.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy copper gold with a big creamy off white head that retains well and leaves a lot of lacing.
The aroma is some sweet bready malts, a little honey, and some stinky piney resiny hops. It's a little subdued.
The flavor is sweet caramel/crystal malt followed by a big resiny, tarry, hop finish that lingers in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, not a great DIPA. It's a bit one dimensional and not well balanced with a clashing of sweetness and tarry bitterness.

12 ounce bottle, no freshness info. Poured cloudy, slightly red amber, with a medium peach hue, typical light tan head, tiny bubble and showing good retention. Nice looking fine and scattered lace left on the glass. Light hop nose. Wowee, this is a nice, smooth DIPA that packs a nice punch flavor and hop wise. Very pleasant hop infused creation. Bold, yet fairly balanced. I really enjoyed this one, highly recommended.

This is a great, highly drinkable DIPA. Not overly hopped, bitter, or dry. This is a smooth, complex, mild example of the style. It's appearance contains a slight haze with a good 3/4 inch head, pouring into a pint glass. Upon taking the first sip you understand the smooth, flowery crispness of this exceptional beer. I've bought 3 or so 6 packs of this tasty beverage in the past month. Definitely deserves a rating higher than B+. Was my favorite of 3 DIPA's I"ve tried recently (1. This beer 2. Gordon's 3. Dorado.)

Finally tried this one. Cloudy amber with a foamy white head. Light citrus and heavy grapefruit in the aroma. Flavor is the same with little bit of pine/resin. Some sweet malt, similar in flavor to what you would find in Lagunitas' beers. Would have liked more of the hop bite. Still, this is a really good beer.

served into a flaired tulip glass from a 12oz stubby brown bottle with a twist-off cap
Mirky,golden/reddish color that seems to be glowing. 2" offf-white very creamy white head with good retention a few webs of lace at the top turning spotty yhr rest of the way down.
Clean aroma,lots of citrus,slight grapefruit/pineapple with hints of tropical fruit. Carmell/toffee malts linger in the background.
Pine/citrus first taste a bit on the light side for a double ipa.Clean mid-taste, like the aroma some tropical fruityness. Good balance with very sweet malty goodness.Finished light,crisp with citrus notes and light grapefruit notes.Alcohol very well hidden almost undetectable.Very smooth and creamy.
Overall a bit on the light side for a double ipa. I'm sure it brought the reviews down a bit would do better as an ipa. Neverless a nice beer from Mad River a favorite brewery of mine. Haven't seen this beer in my area had to order from Liquid Solutions. Would pick some of this beer up if I would see it in my area.

Reviewed from notes. Consumed 7/27/09
Poured from a 12oz bottle into a 16oz glass. Firm pour calls fourth a very nice 1/2 inch of off white head that produces a nice sticky lace. Color is a very deep and clouded orange.
Nose- Overripe orange, massive amounts of caramel perhaps a bit a vanilla, and a touch of alcohol.
Palate- Overripe orange, with a touch of orange rind. Plenty of caramel, some vanilla. Some sweetness, followed by a very nice and lasting bitterness.
Mouthfeel- Slightly syrupy, very dry.
Drinkability- A bigger beer that is best sipped.

Pours a dark burnt caramel color with ruby hues along the edges. There is a rather large tan head with great retention that left loads of lacing as it receded.
Aroms begin with toasted malts, brown sugar and sweet caramel covered apples. As it warms you get notes of smoked wood and red grapes as well.
The tastes begin with apple cider and dark red grape skin. Then it's quite caramel malt forward with hints of smokiness. As it warms you get more and more dark fruits; figs, dates and raisin.
The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium'high carbonation. Finish is on the sweeter end of the spectrum but the ample carbonation helps to balance the large malt presence.
Overall this is a nice American example of a classic German brew. Nothing worldly or revolutionary here or up to the quality of the authentic examples but a fine showing for a low price point.

On taping Phoenixville. Pours a highly red-tinted amber color. Minimal head without much retention or lacing. Beautiful coloring but the head was pretty suspect. Aroma of caramel, bready malt, banana esters, prominent fruit. Smells a bit more like a dunkel weizen than a doppelbock.
The flavor follows suit. It's quite fruity and again there is a bit more of a banana note than one might reasonably expect for the style. Also lacks the big and profoundly chewy malt breadiness of the best examples of the style. Decent dark fruit and caranel sweetness and a semidry finish. I see past reviews are quite favorable, so perhaps there was something a little.off with this batch? Hard to say.
I also found the body to be a bit thin for a dopplebock and the carbonation a.little fizzy, which cut down on the overall smoothness I was hoping for. Pretty mediocre, but I'd like to try this again sometime I suppose.

On tap during the goat races.
The beer pours a copper amber color with good head retention and lacing. Don't get a whole lot on the nose... just some sweet malt and light dry citrus. The flavor profile replicates the nose, though the beer was bit sweeter/maltier than I had expected. Still, it's pretty enjoyable and easy drinking, with some nice cherry and baked apple flavors. There's a hint of bitterness on the finish that helps to buoy the sweetness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a fairly long, quite malty finish. Alcohol is well integrated into the flavor profile, making for an entirely too easy to drink beer.
While nothing extraoridary, I thought this a very enjoyable, easy to take bock beer.

brown color with a smallish off white head. Quick fade left behind a somwhat flat looking brown liquid with no head, lace, or side glass contribution.
Aroma was decidedly smoked with a nice hint of caramel in the back. There was some earth grain present and more of a dark grain tone.The flavor was nice, classic dopplebock with lots of smoked flavors and a great overall malt profile. Thick flavor with a somewhat tangy finish
Very smooth with little in the way of carbonation

On tap @ Sly Fox Phoenixville on 5/1/11 during the annual Bock Fest and Goat Race. Served in a mug.
Pours a deep clear copper, with a finger of off-white head. This retains with some creamy bunching around the edges of the glass, leaving back a good looking cascade of foamy lacing. The aroma has a strong ripe fruitiness to it from the hops, which melds with rich notes of cocoa, caramel, and bread. The hops overall give this a real push in the nose.
The taste is a mix of toast, cocoa, caramel, and that same ripe citric fruitiness. This is all backed by a firm wave of earthy bitterness that leaves this dry with some lingering juicy fruit notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, maybe a bit fuller, with a sharp and lively feel to the carbonation, yet this still stays smooth with a low alcohol feel.
This seemed a little hoppier with the flavors than I remembered it being but I still rather liked this, as that ripe fruit just added another layer of complexity to all already rich malt profile here. Very smooth and easy drinking for the size as well, this is a nicely made Bock Beer.

Served on-tap at the Brass Rail.
A: The doppelbock is a dark, concentrated tea shade of brown. Full enough to be opaque with a half a finger of head, the bock sits very still.
S: The nose is caramel bready, sweet with darker fruits lingering around. The grains are well-toasted, not burnt, with a toffee sweetness. Hops don't do very much.
T: The doppelbock is a comfort drink, loaded with rich malts that are calming. Toffee and toasted bread, a combination of sweet and not-so-sweet, is rich from the first sip. Hops are a little more evident here, earthy of course, but the bock can't escape its malty focus. While the beer is warming, booze is never really a factor (although it does hit pretty hard with no warning).
M: A rich doppelbock, a little to filling and big especially as the weather warms. The toasted malts and toffee deliver solid flavor.
D: A nice sipper, the bock is a little to big (and almost out of season) to be a go-to. I'm guessing that it'll be perfect at the Goat Races on Sunday.

22oz bottle served in a glass beer mug.
Caramel color with a fizzy beige head that thinned to a light layer leaving bits and pieces of lace.
The aroma is filled with sweet dark fruits and molases.
The taste is worthy of this brew being called a 'malt bomb', sweet and sticky all the way through.
Medium bodied with mild carbonation.
Goes down way too easy. If you like sweet malty beers this is a 'must try'.

On tap at the Sly Fox Goat Race & Bock Fest on 5/3/09.
A - Chestnut-colored body with burgundy highlights and one-finger creamy beige head that deposited spotty lace around the glass.
S - Malty, earthy and slightly herbal with a leafy hop character. Malt is primarily roasty with a subtle toffee sweetness. A faint waft of alcohol also sweeps into the mix.
T - Sweet and malty with a warm alcohol presence and plenty of roasted and toasty malt character as well as sweet caramel and toffee notes. Touch of leafy, earthy hop bitterness in the finish.
M - Medium to full bodied with a chewy, syrupy texture and subtle carbonation. Sweet on the palate with a mild hop finish.
D - Fine Dopplebock with a well-concealed alcohol presence. Gotta have some bock for the goat races!

A: Pours a dark mahogany red with an initial 1 finger foamy reddish-beige head that quickly settled leaving only a fair and splotchy lacing.
S: a sweet caramel aroma, light chocolate and bread on nose.
T: Light cherries, lots of dark molasses and brown sugar add sweetness that is compliment by a nice bread backbone. There is a rich chocolate nature and some alcohol upon warming is detected. Starts out very sweet then warms to a nice dried fruit and bread palate.
M: Light mouthful with a very sweet caramel malt presence.
D: Very clean as most of their beers and is very easy to drink for a doppelbock.

For a Doppelbock this was pretty standard fare, nothing mindblowing going on. If they were looking to be a mediocre textbook doppelbock, they win.
Poured from the bottle with a big frothy head, high on malts in aroma and taste. Also, as others have noted, pretty sweet as well. Given the aroma and rich auburn/dark brown hue I expected more complexity in the taste, alas the body was lacking something, and it left a sweet off tasting malt residue in my mouth. I was glad to be sharing this bomber, because had it been a solo mission it would have failed down the drain.
I have had much better doppelbocks, and this one is not really bad, just not amazing either. To me, that's just Sly Fox all together.

Poured into a pint glass...
A- Dark ruby brown color. Massive cream colored 2 finger head, some lace and sediment.
S- Smell was really chocolatey with a hint of earthy biscuit.
T- Taste was really sweet, tons of malts going on here. Candy like flavors with a toffee/dried fruit feel. Chocolate and coffee hints as well, but the sugary malts dominated.
M- This one had a chewy and sticky mouthfeel, really heavy beer.
D- I enjoyed this pint, but was not blown away at all. This was good, but nothing spectacular. I would not pass it down if given the chance but would not seek it out.

22 oz. bomber bottle that has a pretty much average label. The label shows 2 goat shadows ready to butt their heads together. On both sides of the goats are shadows of wheat stocks. Just below all of this is the anem of the beer in big bold letters and the Sly Fox symbol of a shifty eyed fox. To the far right side of the label is where they keep the US Government warning, barcode, and the refund values. On the far left side is a brief summary about the beer and the doppelbock style and a Sly Fox caution of "May incite goat fantasies and Bock Fest envy." Don't bother looking for a date becuase there isn't one anywhere.
Appearance: When poured into a Pilsner glass, the doppelbock has a mahagony hue that looked like it was blended in with some dark amber. Sitting on top of this beer was a tall 2 inch fluffy head of foam. For the color of the foam, I would have to say that it's an off white color. It wasn't beige and it wasn't white either. This head of foam had really good retention that left behind streaks and spots of lace and a small film.
Smell: The aroma wasn't in depth that i would have liked this doppelbock to have. There really wasn't much to it. The majority of this aroma was sweet roasted malts with subtle sweet caramel, a dark fruit here and there, and then it ended with an aroma that smelled like hay or what I would to call horse blanket. Although there were a couple of dark flavors in the aroma, it reality it smelled like there wasn't enough of them. For instance, there wasn't any chocolate or coffee aroma in here. I guess the horse blanket put a blanket over those aromas.
Taste: If I had to describe this beer in one word, it would have to be "sweet." Not sweet as in "Sweet, I got a great doppelbock!" It was more like "this doppelbock is sweet as candy." Not only was it sweet, but there weren't that many flavors after the sweetness. It started off with sweet roasted malts and then it went quickly into very subtle milk chocolate and caramel. After the subtle flavors had passed, in the comes the sweet alcohol that had a pinch of bitter roasted hops mixed in with it. No horse blanket in the taste, but just the aroma, there were alot of dark flavors (or good flavors for that matter) missing. This time they din't have an excuse for why they weren't there.
Mouthfeel: This doppelbock was somewhere in between being light bodied and medium bodied. It couldn't make up its mind. What is the aftertaste going to taste like if the aroma and taste were sweet? If you guessed sweet, you're right! It had a sweet based aftertaste of burnt malts and alcohol. It hid the alcohol real well because there wasn't all that much to cover up.
Drinkability: I had high hopes for this beer and in truth, it was in fact a bit disappointing. It could have been worse, but it could have been alot better than this. Other than the appearance, the best part of this beer was the price. Now I know why the retail price for this beer is between $4 and $5. It's worth a shot just once to say you've at least tried it.

Fresh, thanks to Dr. Jay. Nice dark chocolate colour. Malt chocolate aroma., Taste is sweet and not cloying, with licorice spice, a bit of toast malt. Tasty and could pass as authentic German from a blind taste, from the little I know. Quite drinkable

As I half expected, the beer is overly carbonated and starts to foam up and gush out of the bottle as soon as I pop the cap. It was not so bad that I was not able to get all of the beer and foam into my glass. I ended up with about three fingers of concentrated, burnt amber colored brew underneath five-fingers of lightly browned, tan froth. When held up to the light the beer shows an almost brilliantly clear, deep, ruby color. Quite malty smelling with an enticing mix of richly caramelized notes and a whole grain bread character. Concentrated fruit notes of dried figs and prunes as well as a touch of roast grain notes seem to round out the aromatic notes. As the beer warms, rich, concentrated malt notes start to become noticeable; these evoke a richness akin to umami.
The beer foams up a bit as it hits my tongue. The body is a bit lighter than one would expect from a Doppelbock, but is consistent with the excessive carbonation. Some focused rousing of the beer releases a bunch of the carbonation and makes this easier to drink. Despite the lower body, mouth feel and sweetness, this beer is still quite rich and malty. Flavors of prunes mix with a rich, caramelized sweetness and a toasty malt character. The finish is somehow a little sharp, though I am not sure from what.
Well at least this beer was not noticeably infected / off in the flavor department, the excessive carbonation was a bit much, and I am sure it affected / reduced the body and mouth feel of this beer. Having said all that, this was still a pretty tasty beer, one which I would certainly jump at the opportunity to try a fresh sample of. As the beer warms hints of flavors and aromas start to suggest that something other than you standard beer yeast was involved in the bottle conditioning of this brew, though it never becomes more than a subtle backdrop.

A - A simple, not quite fizzy head that settles immediately, especially out of a bottle. It is a little more pronounced, though no significant lacing, when on tap. Deep amber hue, almost brown. Seems right on to me for the style.
S - Heavy malty nose with a tinge of roasted pear. Yes, pear. Light yeast leftover from the process.
T - A moderately sweet initial flavor, and a heavily sweet finish of average length.
M - Significantly oily texture, but the only drawback I really find is the fizzy nature of this dark lager. Maybe that's my IPA favoring coming out. It is significantly carbonated in the bottle.
D - No overpowering alcohol or any one feature that makes this hard to keep going wth n any occasion. Definately recommended and worth storing. Who knows how this will age...?

Screw-cap growler received via GIF8 by stewdawg. Thanks for the opportunity.
Poured into an imperial pint glass, formed a 1/4" tan head over the clear medium brown brew, which also exhibited some burgundy highlights. Head is pretty quickly down to a tight layer of bubbles, with some lacing, but the legs of the brew is more impressie. Aroma is malty with dark fruit notes. Taste is hearty grain, with moderate fruitiness in the middle, and closes with light tannins and alcohol, and a definite warming aftereffect. Mouthfeel is smooth, and maybe a bit thin, but that helps the drinkability, so it's give and take. A nice easy dbock, more drinkable than one kind of should be for the abv. Safety first!

Thanks froggyfrog for hookin me up.
Served from a bomber that had plenty of time to warm.
Appearance: Pours a dark burnt caramel color with hints of ruby. Massive head. The tan head exceeded 4 fingers and had great retention. Loads of lacing were pasted to the side of the glass the entire duration of the beer while a frothy cap lasted just as long. Beautiful.
Smell: Toasted malts, brown sugar and the sweet nostalgic aroma of caramel covered apples, with a hint of smoked wood and gapes as well. mmm m mm m mmm
Taste: The flavors of dark sweet tart apple cider and that grape juice stuff, lead off, and then it just get more malty malty malty as hints of smokiness, wood, more dark fruits and a sprinkle of hops, maybe citric fruit, building and then - the beer peaks short of my eyes popping out =) and then fades to a dry burnt shoe-fly pie aftertaste. I LOVE IT!
Mouthfeel: Big malty creamy and well carbonated. It has a gritty course sugar laden malt kind of creaminess, and a dry finish lingers unceasingly.
Drinkability: dangerously easy for this Dopplebock fan. I really love this beer. It is a good thing I didn't get a case of this... or I might not be making it to work all week =) yummy!
Hope this is helpful.

Sampled due to BIGsBIF and the kindness of BeerBeing.
22 oz Bottle.
Pours a clear coke a cola brown colored beer with red highlights. Head is tan and average in height and density.
Smell is sweet and fruity for the style. Lots of grape and figs with wheat bran in the scent. Some nutty sherry wine aromas mostly walnuts. After this warms up some spices arrive mostly brown sugar and cinnamon.
Taste is semi dry and fairly bitter for the style. First flavor sensation here is Raisin Bran cereal. Fruity flavors of plums and maple syrup. Fair flavor of tobacco here as if there are Fuggles hops added. After a bit a fairly strong cloves after taste appears. Bitter cherry taste evolves after a while. A good non-sweet Doppelbock. Only possible flaw is that it is a bit astringent after a while.
Mouthfeel is good.
The good, a DRY Doppelbock that I like a lot a little cool. The Bad astringent when warm. The verdict a good beer for spicy food or very sweet desserts.

Instigator Doppelbock pours a deep walnut color with a generous frothy tan head. Nose of sweet roasted malts, cola, and flan. Taste sensations of rich, smooth sweet roasted malts and chocolate. Very plush - very creamy. Warming alcohol well in proportion with the weight of this brew. Medium bodied with a posh, lip-smacking mouthfeel, this is a super enjoyable Doppelbock.
Kudos to Sly Fox Brewing!!

The beer poured into the glass clear dark brown with an amber hue and an almost tan head which rose lightly but held strong to lace the glass.
The aroma was malty with a strong dark caramel and chocolate character. The aroma was also biscuity and lightly toasty with a graham aspect. Some dark fruits emerged as the beer warmed, raisins most notably. A slight roast was present.
The flavor was malty with a dark caramel, chocolate and just a bit of roast. The malty presence was strong with a decent enough bittering from hops and dark grains to keep any sweet components at bay. Chocolate with a light biscuity/toasty aspect ruled the flavor and dark fruits, while present, were in the background.
The finish was dry with a lasting impression of caramel along with chocolate and light roast into the aftertaste. The body was almost medium full with a fairly low carbonation level. No appreciable alcohol presence was notable except for a very slight warming after consumption. A nice dopple but it could have been a bit more complex.
750 ml bottle. Thanks BeerBeing!

CRANE — For the first time in its history, a sitting Chief of Naval Operations and member of the Joint Chiefs will be visiting NSA Crane.
Admiral Jonathan W. Greenert, CNO, will be visiting Crane on Monday, according to a release from Sen. Dan Coats' office.
Also joining Coats and Greenert will be Sen.-elect Joe Donnelly, Ninth District Rep. Todd Young and Indiana Lt. Gov-elect Sue Ellspermann.
Coats invited the admiral to the base when he testified before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense in March, according to the release.
"I am pleased Admiral Greenert has accepted my invitation to visit Crane so he can see firsthand the advanced work patriotic Hoosiers have done to harness the power of technology for our nation's warfighters," Coats said. "This will be the first time a Chief of Naval Operations has visited Crane, and I look forward to showing Admiral Greenert how this naval installation continues to support our warfighters in the focus areas of strategic missions, electronic warfare and special missions."
In the naval chain of command, Greenert is the senior military officer in the Department of the Navy and a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The CNO is a four-star admiral and is responsible to the Secretary of the Navy for the command of the Navy.
NSA Crane is the third largest naval installation in the world and does approximately $2 billion in business. It is nearly 100 square miles large and hires 3,700 civilians and 1,700 contractors making it one of the largest employers in the state.
According to his official bio, Greenert is a native of Butler, Pa., and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1975. He served as a line officer on several submarines before moving to fleet support and management.
He was named Chief of Naval Operations in 2011.

Women's golf tied for third at the Sea Trail Intercollegiate
Morgan Jackson carded a three-over par 75 to lead the JU women's golf team to a tie for third after the first round of the Sea Trail Intercollegiate.
Jackson is tied for fourth at three-over par, trailing co-leaders Tara McFadden and Diana Davis of Elon – who shot a one-over par 73.
Tournament host Elon leads the 10-team event at 11-over par with a 299 in the opening round. JU posted a 23-over par, 311, and is tied with Samford – trailing Elon and second place Appalachian State (301).
"This was a good start to the tournament for us," said JU assistant coach Jen Poth. "We definitely left some shots out there, but we're going to come out tomorrow and get those back."
Jackson's round is her best since an even-par 72 at the A-Sun Championship in 2009. She made the turn at one-over par and was two-over par on her final nine.
"Mo played really well," Poth said. "She was patient and did a great job of taking what the golf course gave her."
Kristen Boettcher carded a five-over par 77 and is tied for 12th. She made the turn at two-over par and was three-over par on her back nine.
Melissa Magdor is tied for 21st at seven-over par after shooting a 79. She was four-over par at the turn, but came in with a three-over par back nine.
Jessica Williams is tied for 24th after an eight-over par 80. She made the turn at two-over par, but was six-over par on her final nine.
Francesca Yong posted a 13-over par 85 and is tied for 43rd. She struggled on the front nine, making the turn at 10-over par, but was just three-over par on her final nine – providing momentum for the final 36 holes.
The Dolphins will tee off in the second round on Saturday morning with the final round set for Sunday.

Resistance: Young Socialist Alliance released this statement on May 30.
The federal Coalition government plans to ramp up Work for the Dole for job seekers under 30.
From July 1, it will apply in 18 high unemployment regions across Australia, and will be rolled out nationwide from July 1 next year.
The program, which was initiated under the John Howard government, forces long-term unemployed young people (those who have been receiving Newstart Allowance or Youth Allowance for more than 12 months) to work 15 hours a week for six months. Refusal to work could result in being penalised one tenth of their fortnightly payment for every day absent, which will cut deep into wages that are already below the poverty line.
This is not a choice for young Australians. This is a threat, it is forced labour, and it is wrong.
Recent high-profile corporate announcements of mass redundancies and decreasing rates of university graduate employment demonstrate that it is increasingly hard for both unskilled and well-educated people to find work.
Despite this, young people are once again being told it is their fault they cannot find work, and it is time to stop being lazy and lift themselves up.
This is a slap in the face to young unemployed people across the nation, made worse by a budget that cuts 16,500 public service jobs, but has no significant plans to create other jobs.
This is accompanied by factory closures in traditionally working-class communities, such as Geelong.
The government is cutting programs that are... READ MORE

The present giving business is an emotional minefield. And so as you might imagine there's all sorts of interesting research on the psychological meaning of gifts. But before getting into that, Anthropologists also have a take on the subject and predictably the whole thing is thought to be down to sex. Evolution it is claimed favours those who give generously. Thus in early man someone who gifted food or 'possessions' had more reproductive success. And even to this day there are tribes in which extreme gift giving (potlatch) is celebrated. Well it could all be about sex and status (times haven't changed much, have they?), and it certainly gives a new slant on taking someone out for a meal.
However, back to the psychology: to start, you may feel in a Grinch-like way that you would be happier keeping the money you spend on Christmas presents for yourself. After all buying presents is hard, cold work, and what thanks do you get? Surprisingly in all sorts of ingenious experiments it has been shown that those who give presents are happier than those who spend the money on themselves. Also, perhaps even more surprisingly, people think beforehand that the Grinch is right – personal spending brings greater happiness than spending on others. It doesn't.
Additionally there's evidence that men and women react quite differently to receiving 'good' and 'bad' gifts. The background being that we assume that if someone knows us well they will give us an appropriate gift. If they don't, it says something about the quality of the relationship. But here's the thing: men and women seem to have a different way of dealing with a bad (poorly chosen) gift. Women are far more likely to react positively, even if they don't like it; whereas men tend to say what they think. By the way, men, this is not an excuse for giving poor gifts… cheap, tatty, ill-thought out presents will chip away at any relationship.
Oh, and watch out if you're thinking of giving money. The problem is that it cannot send a meaningful message about the quality of a relationship, and certainly sends the wrong message about its status. I presume this doesn't necessarily hold for large wads of cash, but be careful when you distribute the £10 notes, and maybe those book tokens are looking a bit problematic…
Believe me there's lots of this stuff. The bottom line appears to be that men are more price conscious and practical when it comes to what they give, and also with regard to what they would like to receive, whilst women are far more concerned with emotional meaning. And you know what? That's why it's harder to buy a present for a woman rather than a man. Buy a man an expensive gadget and he'll be happy, whereas getting it right for a woman is far more complex – meaning and emotional symbolism really are the name of the game.
Finally it's good to report that there is now scientific proof that Santa Claus does exist, but unfortunately he cannot work any magic on the gifts we buy for each other. That's down to us.

heluim balloons/helium awareness
the dangers of helium balloons are unknown to many people. nowadays children, and even adults, suck the helium out of the balloons to make their voice high pitched, but they are unaware as to how it works. when inhaled, the helium causes your throat to close over. the results can be dangerous. sometimes the result can even be fatal. (learn more at http://www.starvingvendors.com/inhaling_helium.html and see proof at http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2006/06/stay_out_of_that_balloon.html) i would like to stop or even raise awareness to the dangers of helium inhalation.

Clifford said he began treatment for thyroid cancer a short time later and while he was out on sick leave, Huggins brokered a deal with Rush to pay the National Black Chamber of Commerce $50,000 to monitor the memorandum.
Rush reiterated the deal in a letter to the commuter rail service, Clifford said. A Metra spokesman said the agency was unable to locate the letter Wednesday.
The check — which the CEO could sign without board consent — was never sent because Clifford required Huggins get the entire board to approve, Clifford said. Huggins did not want that, he said.
"He just wanted me to call Congressman Rush's office and ask who we should write the check to," Clifford said.
Rush spokeswoman Debra Johnson confirmed the congressman suggested that the chamber monitor the flyover situation, but she denied he asked the NBCC to be paid for it.
"The congressman did not do anything outside the normal recommendation," she said.
Huggins said he was "highly insulted" by Clifford's comments and called his allegations "totally false."
Huggins was not the only board member criticized at the hearing. Clifford also alleged that O'Halloran tried to secure a lucrative banking contract for Wintrust Corp., even though the chairman serves on the board of one its subsidiaries.
Clifford also related how Metra's procurement chief Paul Kisielius had questioned whether a conflict existed and his concerns were forwarded to the agency's ethics officer. O'Halloran tried to have Kisielius removed from his position several months earlier, Clifford said.
Metra spokesman Michael Gillis could not confirm Wednesday whether Wintrust actually pursued business with the agency.
O'Halloran denied the allegation.
Clifford also suggested he repeatedly resisted patronage pressure and that no refusal was more damaging to his career than his Madigan rebuke.
The speaker twice asked that Patrick Ward, a longtime Madigan foot soldier, be given a raise on his $57,000-a-year salary, Clifford said. The speaker also asked that another employee be promoted from a customer service post to train conductor, Clifford said.
Clifford says he denied both requests and, in doing so, upset Huggins, who had personally lobbied for him to capitulate.
"Mr. Huggins argued on and on with me that it wasn't illegal," Clifford said.
Madigan has confirmed he made an inquiry about Ward's salary in March 2012 but said he withdrew it after Clifford raised concerns.
Clifford said Madigan never threatened to withhold funding if the raise wasn't granted. However, some board members considered it bad business to rebuff the speaker, he said.
"Both Mr. Huggins and Mr. O'Halloran seemed to feel my refusal to accede to the request could damage our ability for funding," he said.
Gov. Pat Quinn defended Madigan on Wednesday when asked about Clifford's criticism of the speaker.
"Well, I've known Mike Madigan for a long time. I don't think it's any secret that he and I don't always agree on public policy issues. But I think he is a man of character," Quinn said.

CATEGORIES Documentary, Independent, Telluride, DVD Reviews, New on DVD, Home Entertainment, Cinematical Indie, War, Features, DVDs, CinematicalOrdinarily, I probably wouldn't write about a PBS series on Cinematical, but Ken Burns' The War deserves an exception. The lengthy documentary, which has seven episodes, first caught my attention at Telluride last year, where one of the episodes was shown as a sneak peek. I knew who Burns was, of course -- his previous documentary series -- The Civil War, Baseball, and Jazz -- are noted for their exceptional quality. But still, The War being added to the Telluride schedule seemed to catch folks by surprise.
And then, on the gondola and in line, I started hearing buzz about The War. When I asked people what they'd seen that they liked at the fest, The War was mentioned over and over (usually preceded by, "Well, it's long, but ..."). So when I heard that the DVD set of The War was coming out, I knew I wanted to write it up.
Even if you're not familiar with Ken Burns' work, or you think you're not into war movies, this documentary is so extraordinarily well done that you're bound to find value in it. It is long. Very long. As in, it takes about 14 1/2 hours to get through all seven episodes, and by the time you're done, you're likely to feel like you've been through a war yourself. Burns notes on the 36-minute "Making of" featurette that the production team filmed hundreds of hours of interviews, looked at hundreds of photos, and culled through thousands of hours of archival foootage in pulling together this remarkable project. It's hard to imagine a more comprehensive view of one of the most cataclysmic events ever to impact the world.
In telling the story of World War II, Burns and co-director and producer Lynn Novick decided to take the approach of telling the tale of the war as it impacted four American towns: Luverne, Minnesota; Westbury, Connecticut, Mobile, Alabama and Sacramento, California. In determining which towns to use, Burns and Novick first hunted down interesting war stories from veterans, and then went backwards from there to the towns to find the places with the most interesting stories. The stories are told through personal letters, interviews, family photographs, and archival video. They shot on film, and often, as they had to pause an interview to change out a reel, someone's family member would comment that they'd never heard their loved one tell that story before, or that they'd heard it many times, but never in quite that way.
The World War II-era newspaper columns of Al Macinstosh, editor of the Rock County Star in Minnesota -- and read by Tom Hanks -- bring to life the impact of a war thousands of miles away on the people here on the homefront, as do the personal stories of people like Katharine Phillips from Mobile, Alabama, talking about how when she and her girlfriends at college heard about the bombing of Pearl Harbor, they knew immediately that life as they knew it was over, that their brothers and boyfriends would be called to fight. Asako Tokuno, another homefront witness, tears up all these years later as she talks about how after Pearl Harbor, she became aware of her ethnicity for the first time in her life, from the hostile stares and reactions she got on the bus and walking down the street.
All the archival footage the production team got from the National Archives to use in the film was silent -- some great action shots, ground battles, air battles, but none of it had sound -- so the sound crew had to go in and add the sounds of WWII planes, the sounds of bombs dropping, of brick walls being shattered by explosions. Further enhancing the documentary is the music by Wynford Marsalis, who worked with Burns to compose distinct music for each of the four towns, that would still feel like part of a cohesive whole.
The boxed set is beautifully packaged in a nice, book-style foldout case. The first, third and sixth DVDs have special features -- the aforementioned "Making of" featurette, commentary from Burns and Novick, a photo gallery, deleted scenes, extra interviews -- you could practically teach an entire WWII history class using this DVD set as a starting point. This is a documentary about war, and war is not pretty. It's ugly and violent, and pretty graphic, even though the archival footage is in black-and-white. There's a disclaimer on there that it's "not for children," but I think that depends on the child. I'd let my 10-year-old watch this for the historical value; teens and young adults would benefit from watching this series and then discussing WWII in relation to the current war in the Middle East.
In The War, there are many personal stories about the homefront -- how distant that war, half a globe away, seemed to the people going about their daily lives here, as the country recovered economically from the Great Depression. Until Pearl Harbor, all those news reels of war in Europe seemed like something that had no relevance in their own lives. December 7, 1941, suddenly made the war relevant in a very real way, carrying sons and brothers and boyfriends to where the fighting was, and uniting the country in a way that's never been seen since.
In one of the later books in Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series, Anne Blythe tells one of her sons that war is something that only happened long ago, that men have since learned how to resolve their conflicts without fighting. By the last book in the series, Rilla of Ingleside, Anne is seeing her sons leave Prince Edward Island to fight in WWI. The world recovered from that war, and at the time, it seemed we'd never have another war like that. Just a couple decades later, though, the world was immersed in WWII, and at the end of that war millions more lives were lost. We've had other wars in between WWII and the current war, of course, but with the war in Iraq, and the threat of war in Iran, we obviously have not, as Montgomery hoped nearly a century ago, yet learned to resolve our differences without killing each. The timing of the release of Ken Burns' documentary, as I field my inquisitive daughter's questions about both the Holocaust and Iraq, seems both timely and relevant.
When Ken Burns talks about young men seeing their best friend blown up next to them, or shooting another human being at close range and having their blood splatter all over them, when a fighter pilot talks about aiming his guns at targets and feeling sick knowing he was killing people, but that he had to do his job, he could just as well be talking to soldiers engaged in the war in Iraq today. Perhaps that's the biggest history lesson of all -- the way we continue to repeat the horrors of history, over and over again. By keeping that history alive through films like The War, Ken Burns has made filmmaking a form of preserving history, and that he does so with an attention to detail and passion for his subject matter that makes the DVD set of The War a must-have addition to your home video library.

The Denver Broncos have done it again. Going into the end of their game with the Chicago Bears, they were down 10-0. They did not deserve to have any points, because they had played an exceptionally poor game. Then, they came alive and scored 10 points, capped off by a 59-yard Matt Prater field goal to get into overtime. The dream comeback appeared to be up when the Bears got into field goal range in OT. Then, this happened.
All Marion Barber needed to do was hold onto the ball. Robbie Gould had already nailed a franchise record 57-yard field goal earlier in the game, and he's one of the most reliable kickers in football. If the Bears don't turn the ball over or take a sack on their last offensive play, they likely go on to win the game. Instead, this fumble led to the Broncos getting into field goal range and Prater striking again, hitting a 51-yard field goal to give the Broncos the 13-10 win.

the guy is extremely pathetic as a commentator. waaay too biased. it's almost sad. maybe someone should tell him to lay off the weed and he wouldn't be so homotional. he has to go.
either that or give us the option to watch without commentary and just the ring and crowd noise. that is even better than being at the fight imo.

Yup he did...what the hell was that all about? I joked that maybe he put the house up on Manny to win by KO in the 6th round, but damn u would've thought he was from the Philipines.
Did u hear the DEFINING SILENCE from Larry Merchant both times Manny hit the deck? Lol. This is why I like the HBO commentators (besides Bob Papa) better than Showtime. Even when they tend to side with a fighter that loses in the way that Manny did, it makes it that much more funnier to watch IMO. They should've had a "reaction-cam" in slow motion right on the commentators faces the 2 times Manny went down. What sight that would be lol.
I tried to give Lampley the benefit of the doubt and thought that he was thinking of Emanuel Steward missing the epic ending of the fight. Im sure there will be a camera angle of the announcer's table during the replay this Saturday night. Anybody notice Lampley and RJJ stand up when Manny got KO'd? It was CRAZY, coupled with Roy's long reaction of "OHHHHHHHHH!!!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
they were still in denial i think, they werent sure he was out cold with his dick in hand and all
LMAO! Leave it to MG!
I wont lie though, it was hard to watch Manny get floored like that. I think everybody in the arena was shook up by it. I was, until I thought about how much he was getting paid for the fight, then my pity subsided.

It would be interested to know if the senior complex that was being built was a non-union construction site. Over the years, their have been a number of structures burned at non-union sites just when framing has been completed. This is when the structure is most vulnerable because there is lots of wood with very little fire retardant material -- usually results in a complete loss. Any a number of previous occurances they have found the perps were union goons delivering the message that if you use non-union labor you are going to suffer catastrophic consequences. There was a report that a security guard was been "hassled" by three men just before the fire broke out. Is this another case of evil (i.e. gangster)unionism?
On another note, why in the world would they be building this structure so close to the BART tracks? That's just dumb.

Any body care to bet that crime went down in Pleasanton during the time the BART was shut down? Just sayin.'

HOUSTON, Texas - An independent energy company is reporting promising results from one of its wells in Lordstown and says it has room for hundreds of more wells in Trumbull and Mahoning Counties.
During a second quarter earnings webcast Thursday, Halcon Resources Corporation Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Floyd C. Wilson said Halcon's Kibler 1H well on Brunstetter Road in Lordstown is testing at a production rate of 2,233 barrels of oil per day. Wilson says the well is producing 75% oil and gas liquids. Oil producing wells are more valuable to energy companies than wells that mainly produce natural gas.
Wilson called the well one of the top producers in it's Utica shale region, and noted that the company has room for 500 wells in the area. "We have a very large area down in Trumbull and Mahoning Counties that is going to be productive." said Wilson.
In June, residents of the Westwood mobile home development in nearby Weathersfield Township complained about the noise being produced by flaring at the Kibler 1H well. Flaring is a process of burning excess gas being produced by a well. Flaring no longer taking place at the well.
According to a statement from Halcon, the Company has significant holdings in Trumbull and Mahoning Counties and believes there is potential to drill hundreds of wells on its acreage in the area over time.
Wilson said Halcon has it's largest concentration of wells in Kibler area. Four of the company's nine wells in a 30 to 35 mile stretch are showing uniformly good test results, according to Wilson. He says Halcon will have three more wells coming on line in the area of the Kibler well in the coming weeks or months.
Wilson says Halcon is moving quickly to connect wells in the Kibler area to processing locations. He anticipates product from seven of the nine wells to be flowing into pipelines by the end of the year.
A Halcon subsidiary has entered into an exclusive arrangement to build an oil storage and rail-loading facility at the Ohio Commerce Center in Lordstown. The Commerce Center has direct access to rail service, making it an ideal location to support the rapid production growth expected in the region. Wilson says other drilling companies would be able to use the facility as well.
The company is also engaged in discussions for a potential joint venture to develop a high pressure, rich gas gathering system and scaled cryogenic gas processing for Halcon's oil and gas assets in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Halcon does not say if it is considering a particular location for the plant.

Support the Step Plan for police pay increases
Question (from Tampa Police Benevolent Association): Would you attempt to suspend or eliminate the Step Plan (which, before it was suspended last year, awarded pay increases to officers annually as they work toward becoming master patrol officers in their first 11 years)? Answer (from Buckhorn): "NO. In fact as you recall, I tried unsuccessfully to discourage the (Pam Iorio) administration from doing the same and floated a number of proposals to them that would have avoided that."

Finals Day Care Package
The SBU Parents Connection, formerly the SBU Parents Association, would like to invite you to purchase a Finals Day Package for your child. This fund-raising event will accomplish at least two objectives: First, this activity will provide parents with a convenient way to purchase, and have delivered, a care package to their child during finals week. Second, raised funds will be used to help students – and to support education projects.
In the past, money raised via the Parents Association, now the Parents Connection, provided emergency financial support to a number of students experiencing crisis situations. In addition, the money raised was able to support the funding of a campus wide education project. Last year, funding went to support a visual arts display that was set up in the Goodson Student Union. The display provided a venue that stirred students to contemplate our Creator, His creation, and humanity's roll within creation.
The goal of Parents Connection is to unite students, parents, and the SBU staff in an effort to serve, develop, and mature students toward success. As you know, both parents and students experience a number of life-changing events and situations during the student's college years. Subsequently, Parents Connection wants to serve both parties alike. Parents Connection offers an opportunity for each parent to be connected to the SBU campus and stay involved in the life of their student while he/she attends SBU.
The cost of this special gift is only $12.00. Orders received by December 1st will receive the early bird price of just $10.00!

North America is a dynamic migration region, with the United States home to more immigrants than any other country in the world, the Mexico-U.S. corridor the globe's top migration corridor, and Canada a leading destination for migrants. Research collected here focuses on everything from visa policy and border management to immigrant integration, national identity, the demographics of immigrants in the region and their educational and workforce outcomes, and ways to more effectively use migration policy as a lever for national and regional competitiveness.
Find relevant MPI resources on the child migration crisis—from research, articles, and public briefings that analyze the trends and policy developments surrounding the recent uptick in migration of unaccompanied minors to data on Central American immigrant populations and country profiles of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—all in one place. Click here.
The U.S. immigrant population—estimated at 40.8 million in 2012 — is the nation's historical numerical high, and it is also the largest foreign-born population in the world. About 20 percent of all international migrants reside in the United States, even as the country accounts for less than 5 percent of global population. This article presents the latest, most sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—by origin, residence, legal status, deportations, languages spoken, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.
Counterterrorism policies have had an unintended, negative effect on asylum and refugee resettlement in the United States. Swetha Sridharan of the Council on Foreign Relations explains the origins of the material-support bar, which groups it has affected, and how the U.S. government is addressing the problem.
In 2006, nearly 15.2 million naturalized citizens were eligible to vote in the United States. MPI's Claire Bergeron and Jeanne Batalova examine naturalization trends.
MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report on Arizona's employer sanctions law, a Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative passport provision delay, H-2B caps, and more.
MPI's Gretchen Reinemeyer, Aaron Matteo Terrazas, and Claire Bergeron report on USCIS backlogs, actions to limit access to driver's licenses in Oregon and Maine, the latest on "no-match" letters, and more.
In 2006, the U.S. admitted more than 41,000 refugees for resettlement and granted asylum to more than 26,000 people. MPI's Kelly O'Donnell and Jeanne Batalova take a detailed look at refugee and asylum statistics in the United States.
This report examines the scope and extent of the United States immigration system's chronic backlog problem by offering insight into factors that contribute to protracted processing delays for naturalization and permanent residency applications before highlighting the steps the government has taken to address the issue.
Over the past four years, the United States has resettled far fewer refugees than it did in the 1990s. The decline has stemmed partly from post-9/11 security measures. But this book explains other, deeper reasons, deriving from changes in how and why refugees move, how asylum states receive them, and the world community's response. It also suggests steps to restore the program and better address real refugee needs.
Although federal statute affords "the privilege of being represented," to immigrants in removal proceedings, appointed counsel must be "at no expense to the government." This report analyzes the "no expense" restriction and its effect on case outcomes. It then outlines a number of ways in which legal representation could be increased without significant federal funding.
This report investigates and addresses gaps in the data needs of immigrant service and advocacy organizations by surveying the most commonly used migration data sources in the field, discussing budget-conscious ways to commission customized analysis through government and private sources, and identifying good providers of training for staff.
The 1990s marked a distinct shift in the destinations of newcomers to the United States from traditional reception cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston and increasingly towards small and medium sized-cities. In response to this shift, a unique pilot project conducted in three mid-sized metropolitan areas shows that broad-based community coalitions can proactively integrate newcomers who are increasingly transforming Main St., USA.
This fact sheet is an overview of U.S. immigration based on Fiscal Year 2003 data from the 2003 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics, which was released in mid-September 2004 by the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Immigration Statistics.
This study provides an overview of the size and growth of the Dominican population in the United States and discusses some of the unique characteristics of this community. The report also highlights the geographic distribution of Dominicans within the United States.
The regularization, or legalization, of unauthorized immigrants has become a central, if controversial, policy tool in many developed countries' struggle to manage irregular immigration. Because of the sheer size of irregular immigration in the advanced industrial world, regularization programs have become a significant source of legal workers and, in many instances, of prospective citizens.

Red Sox outfielder Carl Crawford hasn't stepped on a major-league field since his misplay of that sinking line drive in Baltimore last September helped cost his team a chance at a wild-card spot.
He's been battling various injuries, including a strained groin during his current rehab assignment ... and now says he might need Tommy John surgery on the elbow problem that's kept him out all year. Maureen Mullen:
"Probably at some point, because it's one of those deals. It is what it is," Crawford said. "So probably at some point it's going to go out on me."
Asked if he had thought about having surgery before the elbow goes out, Crawford replied:
"Thought about it but at this point if I can play, I think they want me out on the field. So I'm just trying to do everything I can to get back on the field."
Recovery time for a position player from TJ surgery is shorter than for a pitcher, but the cautionary tale for Crawford is Xavier Nady, who had TJ surgery in 2009 after a 25-homer, 97-RBI season with the Pirates in 2008. Nady hasn't been anywhere close to the same player since.

Aspen Backyard Park
Aspen Backyard Park is a .7 acre neighborhood park located at the
intersection of Aspen and Sullivan Drives, 6 North Aspen Drive.
Open field/play area
Picnic shelter (small)/gazebo
The Vernon Hills Park District began leasing Aspen Backyard Park
from the Village of Vernon Hills at no cost in October 1991. By the
fall of 1992, with input from nearby residents, the District had
added a tot lot with brightly colored playground equipment,
landscaping, a path, and park benches, all of which greatly enhanced
the small park. The park's name was chosen by residents through a
contest. In 2002, the District completed a partial park renovation
by adding new playground pieces and a picnic gazebo. In 2012, the park was updated with new playground equipment and landscaping near the park sign.

Gainsborough is located on the east bank of the River Trent, in the county of Lincolnshire, approximately 150 miles north of London and 19 miles north-west of Lincoln.
The town has a population of around 19,000 and is within the West Lindsey District which covers an area of approximately 115,357 hectares (445 square miles / 1154 sq kms) and has a population of around 77,000.
Situated in mainly rural surroundings in the north of the county it is a busy market town, displaying some fine 17th-century red-brick architecture and possessing one of the finest medieval manor houses in the country in Gainsborough Old Hall. Once an important river port the town has developed a diverse industrial base.
Historically Gainsborough was a busy port carrying goods to mostly local destinations along the Humber estuary.
Today agriculture is the largest industry here and food manufacturers have capitalised on this, with the town accommodating national meat and poultry processors. In recent years the large founding and engineering companies of Gainsborough and District have given way to dynamic modern businesses such as Eminox, Ping Europe, and William Sinclair Holdings. This has been complimented by the recent relocations of the international headquarters of The Imperial Consolidated Finance Group and the Inland Revenue's national training centre. Unemployment is lower than regional and national averages.
The name Gainsborough derives from the Mercian tribe 'The Gainis' who held power in this area. The name literally means 'stronghold (burh) of the Gainis'.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) - A federal judge says statements taken from a North Dakota man after he was accused of killing two children on the Spirit Lake Nation should be admitted as evidence.
Valentino "Tino" Bagola is charged with four counts of first-degree murder in the death of 9-year-old Destiny Shaw and 6-year-old brother Travis DuBois Jr. Their mother found their bodies on May 21, 2011, beneath a mattress at the home she had once shared with the siblings' father.
Prosecutors say Bagola told FBI agents he sexually assaulted the girl and stabbed the boy. Defense attorney Christopher Lancaster says FBI agents obtained statements from Bagola inappropriately.
U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson on Friday ruled against the defense motion.
Trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 3 in Fargo.
