But the device is less innovative than the packaging. If that means carrying on lending the US money to buy its exports, so be it.In an ideal world, there should be a rebalancing of the economies both within the old developed world and between it and the new economies. Moreover, the symbiotic economic relationship it has with the US will stay intact – it has to if China is to keep growing at 10 per cent a year. That does not mean it can pull the world economy along with it but the country will make an increasing contribution to global demand. Preparation for the games, coupled with the associated euphoria, will drive things on until then.

It will be a bit like the German euphoria after reunification, and it is quite hard to remember how arrogant Germany had become then, given its subsequent lack of economic growth.By 2008 China will be a larger economy than Germany; it passed the UK last year. They will want to race on.Can they? Will the new economies be able to extend the cycle? Or will there be some policy error in these countries, most obviously in China, that brings the cycle to an end?We cannot know the answers, but what we can see is that in so far as it is within China’s ability to do so, it will not allow any economic collapse before the Beijing Olympics in 2008. In any case, the new economies are not going to want to be held back by a little local difficulty, such as tighter money, in the old ones. It is hard, however, to see these jitters as signalling more than a pause. There is always a collection of reasons for these sudden movements though one has been fears that the US will push interest rates up by more than expected. During the past few days the financial markets have had the collywobbles, with equity markets reversing many of the gains they made in the first part of the year and with foreign exchanges marking down the dollar.

Common sense would side with that view.The longer term is much harder to foresee but at some stage in the next few years the growth phase of the developed world will peter out. Goldman Sachs has constructed a global leading indicator that seeks to show what might happen, and this suggests the present growth phase is not only intact but heading up quite strongly. You can look at the trend of industrial production in the old economies in recent years and have some feeling for the trend in the shorter term. What happens to this expansion will be determined as much by the policy of the new economies as by the old.This is an undiscovered land.

A similar silence envelops the village pump, where not long ago women gathered to wash their clothes.The church of St Victoire is locked. At the turn of the century it was a thriving parish and the patron saint’s feast day was the high point of the year. Men still prefer buying his wasfah, he claims, to talking to their doctor. “No man can hold his head high after saying to the doctor: ‘Please give me some Viagra so that I can keep my woman.’”. Others asked for shirsh el-zalouh, the root of a herb that grows in the mountains of Lebanon.”The female shirsh, which looks like a woman’s genitals, is used to restore men’s potency, while the male herb, which looks like a man’s genitalia, is given to women. “IN 1949, when I moved here, there were children and shops,” said Martin Gilbert, the retired mason of Simiane-la-Rotonde, an ancient hilltop village in Provence surrounded by lavender fields “There was a baker, two grocers, cafes …

In his shop, which has been in the family for 300 years, assistants were preparing small parcels containing jars of “Masculine Potion” or “Seed of Romance”, and handing them to couriers sent by masters who were unwilling to be seen in the market.Mr Eiad believes the boom will continue, even when the government permits the sale of Viagra. It works better than Viagra,” said Al-Mu’ez Eiad, whose grandfather taught him the secrets of love potions after learning them from his great- grandfather. They paid 200 Egyptian pounds (pounds 35) for tiny jars of “Elixir of Life”, “Hell’s Stone” or “Nerve Charger”, herbal potions to give to their men. Whether it is rounding and firming a young woman’s breasts – “better than a Wonderbra”, says Haj Ahmad – or boosting the sexual desire of a lover, he will find the right wasfah in one of his tiny mahogany drawers. None of them has a label; knowledge of the contents is a secret passed from father to son.The women queuing in this medieval setting shielded their faces behind Gucci-style handbags, fashionable sunglasses, and silk scarves – more to conceal their identity than because of Islamic modesty. For the past 1,000 years, they have dispensed their potions here to seekers of beauty and romance.

“That blue pill is bad for the heart and the soul, but our wasfah [a herbal prescription favoured by quacks] has worked miracles for hundreds of years.”"There is a black market for Viagra in Egypt,” said Nabil Sharbawie, a fertility specialist, “but most Egyptians go to attarin quacks for herbal alternatives.” There has been a sudden rush to their shops in the narrow alleyways of Al-Guhria, the medieval quarter of east Cairo celebrated in the novels of Naguib Mahfouz, Egypt’s Nobel Prize winner for literature.Air-conditioning units are beginning to displace the slow ceiling fans batting the warm air, but in the attarins’ establishments there are few other concessions to modernity. “Behave yourself, Haj,” she said, playfully smacking the old man on his shoulder “I am only here to buy mughat for my sister- in-law. She has just had a baby.”The shop owner ordered his assistant to give her two ounces of the herb, but added: “Take a green jar for your husband, then praise Allah, and thank me.” This brought more giggles from the line of women; they all knew what Azzizah, just like them, was really after.Viagra has been banned from sale in Egypt by the health ministry, generating a dispute with pharmacists who claim to have lost pounds 50m-worth of sales to black-market importers and attarin (herbalists) such as Haj Ahmad “Thank Allah,” he said. “Who needs the American blue pill?” said Haj Ahmad with a wink, using the Egyptian slang for Viagra. Pointing to the hundreds of multi-coloured jars and bottles climbing in dark mahogany cabinets to the ceiling of his tiny shop, he went on slyly: “We have what blessed your mother and grandmother, making them roll in happiness for many nights.”
The woman blushed and frowned, before being infected by the giggles spreading down the queue. But for most expatriates in their audiences, it was a week with very little satisfaction.. HAJ Ahmad Batrawi sat puffing on his narghile (water pipe), grinning at Azzizah, a woman in her thirties who was queuing in front of his herb and spice store.

She announced this year’s five-strong shortlist. But the start of the G-major Piano Concerto was cautious, nervy and a little ragged, and the orchestra never entirely recovered from this. H?ne Grimaud, on the other hand, was an assured and captivating soloist, nowhere more so than in the understated simplicity of her long solo at the start of the slow movement.. Just what the Proms are for, and a full house, too.In the all-Ravel first half, the LSO had been alert and precise in Alborada del gracioso.

The spooky dislocations of the slow fourth movement were all the more effective for being somewhat suppressed; and the restless thematic amalgam of the finale was sculpted with both rigour and passion. The energy of the march-cum-scherzo came as splendid relief; the stark relentlessness of the third movement was pressed home vigorously, with the near-caricatures of its middle section’s trumpet solo and military accompaniment wickedly drawn. At least there was no applause at the end of the movement, so often a curse at the Proms.And the remaining four built surely on these foundations. The tone of the slow and mighty string-dominated first movement was elemental, the control of vibrato levels astute, the ebb and flow of textural and emotional contrasts convincingly powered with a firm symphonic grasp. The fast middle section of this movement, with its seismic interruption, had an inevitability about it that seemed to shake this audience by its collective throat.
Everyone, that is, apart from the man next to me, who chose one of the most shattering moments to start leafing idly through his programme, while someone else’s mobile phone went off. Shostakovich’s Eighth Symphony, composed during the Second World War, is about as recent as Bernard Haitink ever comes, and he has long championed the work.

If he perhaps conducts it too frequently (he did it with the Concertgebouw in London only last year, while the LSO did it with Rostropovich), this Prom performance of arguably Shostakovich’s greatest symphony was certainly in his blood and under the orchestra’s fingers. It ought to have seemed frighteningly contemporary, after recent events in London. But it took itself too seriously, and in the end seemed like no opera at all, more like a tediously moralising oratorio.To Monday (0131-473 2000). There was even attempt to revive the comedy of Nixon in the shape of a gross Austrian woman who passed the hijacking in her cabin gorging herself on chocolate, and a witty vignette of a dancing girl in tights and feathers.But it didn’t add up.

But more often than not, you got the impression that Goodman had written an extended text, indulging her verbal facility, and Adams had gone ahead and set every word.Anthony Neilson, in his production for Scottish Opera, had tried all the tricks in the book to bring the thing to life.

He was forced to return empty handed amid a diplomatic furore when the Brazilian authorities said Biggs could not be extradited because his Brazilian partner was pregnant with his son, Michael.It was later revealed that Mr Slipper had neglected to inform the Home Office, the Department of Public Prosecutions or the Brazilian authorities, of his mission in advance. “We really need a woman for a show on Monday.” It’ll be fine, she says.

Willie Fullgear was shielded by police early Monday as about a dozen officers climbed into two large metal bins, searching for boxes filled with the statuettes.Police Capt. David Powers said early Monday that investigators checked with the academy and verified that the statues were at least some of the missing Oscars. Powers said a special mark showed them to be the true awards.Fifty-five Oscar statues intended for presentation at next Sunday’s award show vanished last week and were presumed stolen.Powers said he was unsure whether they would be returned in time for the show.”If it were just a matter of recovering the Oscars I’d say let’s open them up right now. But this is a theft, a criminal investigation and we have to proceed cautiously,” Powers said.Police had opened some boxes and placed about 12 of the gold-plated statuettes on the ground. They appeared to be in good condition.Fullgear said he found the statues about 9:30 p.m. Sunday still wrapped in plastic, padded with Styrofoam and in individual white boxes.

He filled the trunk of his car with the boxes and alerted CBS-TV and police.”I found a lot of white stuff out there which were a lot of Styrofoam boxes and I picked one up and busted it open – Oscar,” Fullgear told CBS TV.The bins were in a parking lot with a tall wrought iron fence topped with razor wire. The L-shaped lot served a coin-operated laundry, smog-check station and grocery store. It wasn’t clear when the trash bins were last emptied.Messages left before business hours at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences were not immediately returned to The Associated Press.The statues were reported missing March 10 from a Roadway Express Inc. loading dock in Bell, the Los Angeles-area community where 4,000 Oscar ballots were misplaced at a post office earlier this month.The ballots were eventually found, but the Academy had already printed new ones and extended the voting deadline by two days, to Thursday..

Highpoint One was the first successful tower block in England: and very few since have been as pleasant to look at and live in. “The best and healthiest site in the whole of London,” swooned the original Thirties sales pitch, “less than 30 minutes from the City and the West End.” Atop Highgate Hill, it has amazing views over the capital. Its designer was the pioneering Modernist architect Lubetkin, who also produced the penguin ramp at London Zoo.

The commission came from Sigmund Gestetner, who wanted homes for the staff of his office equipment factory in Tottenham, north London. Far from becoming a Modernist role model for low-cost housing, Highpoint was too pricey for the workers even before it came on the market in 1936. The middle classes took possession instead – including Lubetkin.

The flat had lots of Thirties features, like the cork floor and the doors with art-deco style handles, but they picked up a Thirties cabinet from Camden, and put Lloyd Loom chairs next to a Liberty cabinet and a Shaker long wooden table. Carolyn is on the residents’ committee and knows a lot about the building and her neighbours. “It’s quite an accolade that people stay a long time,” she says “An awful lot have lived in more than one flat.

They couldn’t imagine living anywhere else: “I’ve become incredibly spoilt,” says Deana. She recalls spending last Christmas steaming off wood-chip wallpaper and painting the walls. The sofas were gifts from relatives, the Seventies paintings were rescued from Alex’s parents’ garage, and the cheetah (crouched under their fig tree in a Russian policeman’s hat) came from Alex’s aunt: “He’s the first thing anyone notices,” says Deana.

One wall of the living room is covered by a large mirror, reflecting the view out of their window: when Mr and Mrs Andreis first moved in, they weren’t sure that they could manage to live with it. But now Kitty likes the mirror because: “It makes the room look bigger.” Bruno Andreis enjoys sitting in the living room to watch the amazing view “The Concordes come in every afternoon,” he says “You don’t have to lift your head. You just look straight out through that window.”Peggy WilliamsRetired Alexander Technique teacherMoved in: 1972Peggy Williams moved to Highpoint from Hampstead “The moment I saw this view, I fell in love.

It is this, the old story about having one law for the east and another for the west, that remains the most effective weapon in the deflector war n. When St Luke’s opened for business in London in October 1995, it seemed like a Utopian dream come true. Imagine, a totally democratically run advertising agency in which every member of staff – yes, everyone from receptionist to managing director – was given shares. There would be minimal hierarchy, no personal desks (or even offices) and staff would participate in all decision-making: from what colour to paint the walls to pay rises That was the theory. As the dust settles following St Luke’s first annual general meeting, the practicalities are breaking through

But first, the story so far. Eighteen months ago, St Luke’s managing director, Andy Law, and David Abraham, marketing director, negotiated a deal on behalf of their colleagues to buy out the agency from its former parent, US agency Chiat/Day. Chiat/Day was merging with Omnicom, the US marketing services giant – a move the London staff were unhappy with.

A deal was struck and the new company, St Luke’s, was born.
“We had all grown up in an industry which, in one way or another, had pissed us off,” Abraham explains. The revolutionary structure was a rebellion against convention. “The way agencies remain extremely hierarchical, coercive and exist only to benefit shareholders you never meet or owners with little direct involvement The serf mentality. The creative director reading his newspaper while staff queue at his door. The huge layers of staff, all aspiring to the next rung up the ladder.” Phew! Abraham gives a “Well, you did ask” smile and adds: “So we created a corporate structure to match our ideals.”It was a radical departure from the ego-driven world of advertising. For a start, no directors’ names on the door – St Luke is the patron saint of creativity And no hoards of chiefs bossing around a few indians. “We have an almost flat hierarchy – there are apprentices, and there are practitioners,” he explains.Pay is not equal, although differentials are narrower than in other agencies.

Performance reviews work both upwards and downwards, with everyone saying how much they think should be awarded. There are no fixed working hours (although there are regular meetings), and people can even work from home No one has a secretary. And the only offices are client rooms, around which all work on a particular campaign is conducted. Each of these is themed – a “method advertising” approach resulting in an Ikea zone, a mocked-up Midland Bank area and a mini Clarks Shoes shop.Then there was the agency’s social and environmental commitments Success was to be defined by more than just profit. “It would also involve our role in society, our role in people’s lives and whether we were developing as a business in a socially positive way.”Fast forward to the present, and St Luke’s business performance in its first financial year has been impressive if modest by industry standards – it is handling total advertising business worth more than pounds 40m; earnings are around pounds 4m. It has won a string of new business including Clarks, United Distillers and Ikea on top of inherited accounts like Midland Bank, Body Shop and BBC Radio 1 As a result, the staff is now 70. There are, however, teething pains.”Creativity is difficult to manage,” Abraham explains.

Vanity Fair spotlights battles Ryan O’Neal waged before Fawcett’s death.

It houses the equipment from which the fatal cocktail is administered by an official who cannot see the person the state has decided to kill. Karla Tucker nominated five people to watch her die from behind the thick plate glass, the maximum number of personal witnesses allowed. Three relatives of her victims also asked to be present.
But there is another room, hidden from the view of the condemned individual. “A psychologist suggested that colour,” the assistant warden told me. “It is very relaxing.” It minimises the urge to struggle, apparently.

The gurney is the only piece of furniture in the death chamber in the Walls Unit of the Texas Department of Corrections prison. To the side is a window like that of the control booth in a TV studio. Blue is the colour of death in Huntsville, Texas Pale blue. I know because I have been inside the chamber in which the lethal injection is administered. Indeed I have leaned against the padded metal gurney to which Karla Faye Tucker was last night due to be strapped I looked up Overhead was a neon light and the ceiling of powder blue Such is the final earthly sight of the condemned prisoner. People will not need to use the NHS so much because they are smoking less, exercising and eating healthier foods We will get richer because we will learn to behave better. This is a concept of government which is really breathtakingly bold, a Big Idea that really would change the entire way in which governments operate in developed countries in the next century.

In fact it is really the only way out of the bind in which governments find themselves, caught between higher expectations and smaller resources to fulfil those expectations. And if the message is to “behave better”, Mr Blair has a significant advantage over the man in the Oval Office.. It is that governments will redefine the frontier between what is proper for the public sector and what is proper for the private sector by changing people’s perception of their own responsibilities. In other words the state will do less not by abdicating its responsibilities, but by changing people’s behaviour so that it does not need to do so much.Thus single mothers will not need to rely so much on other taxpayers to support them because they will be able to support themselves. But it is not going to be a Big Idea we will export to the world. We may export lots of small ideas, as does the US at the moment; but Tony Blair will reap no more credit than Bill Clinton.There is, however, the outline of a Big Idea floating around, bits of which you can discern both from Tony Blair’s speeches and from some government actions.

The runs had come from 90 balls and included 19 fours, figures which speak most emphatically.Bicknell had the luck to be dropped when he was 30 by Graham Cowdrey, who failed to hold a hot one to his left at first slip off Ealham. Otherwise, he also played some fine strokes, reaching his hundred from 173 balls.. Football is not corrupt, but it has a shady underbelly in which motorway service stations, cardboard boxes full of cash and North Sea trawlers each play a part. He drove with a classical elegance, those familiar strokes through midwicket have never gone more sweetly off his bat and he pulled the short stuff as if he was teaching some rowdy teenagers an overdue lesson.He went to his hundred with the third of three pulls for four off the first three balls of a new spell from Alan Igglesden. There was a dismissive certainty about many of his strokes which, allied to excellent timing and placing, did little for Kent’s Championship hopes. Brian Fitch is a most experienced groundsman and it was almost certainly not as under-prepared as it had then seemed.

There can surely be no question of docking Kent any Championship points after this, although the dark- suited visionaries wished to see more of the match before issuing a statement.Stewart has not had the best of seasons with the bat, but now he began to play expansively from the start. He had made a single by lunch after Mark Ealham had sent back Mark Butcher with a return catch and Jason Ratcliffe to a superb slip catch by Trevor Ward off successive balls.After the interval, Stewart treated the bowling with near-disdain. The nasty bounce, which had caused problems on Thursday, had for some extraordinary reason almost completely disappeared on a day which saw bad light claim 35 overs.
The pitch had not behaved well on the first day, but when the ball moves around and bounces as it did then, modern techniques are hard-pressed to cope. It was as if the pitch at the St Lawrence Ground had suddenly realised it had to mend its ways for such an important occasion. After a dark-suited visitation from Lord’s had pondered over the surface before the start and during lunch, Alec Stewart proceeded to play as fine an innings as anyone has seen all summer, Stuart Law and Ricky Ponting included. With sensible help from Darren Bicknell, who made his second hundred of the summer, they put Surrey in charge of the match with a third-wicket stand of 219. He did not have any part in the deal, which he didn’t.”9.3 When the Inquiry interviewed Mr White on 21 February 1995, the payment to Mr Fenton apparently came as a surprise to him even though by that time there had already been newspaper speculation on the issue and others at the club had already been in contact with Mr Clough about this.

For his part, Mr Fenton told the Inquiry that the media revelations regarding Mr Hauge’s payment to him came as a “complete surprise”.. Mr O’Kane confirmed to the Inquiry that he knew nothing of a payment to Mr Fenton until it had appeared in the media He expressed his surprise. The inference seemed to be that he had it all himself”.9.2 Mr Hill corroborated this account by Mr Clarke. He told the Inquiry:”I got called up to Brian Clough’s house when it came out in the paper accusing Brian of having the money and he sent for me and he said can you explain what this is all about and I had to explain to him and he should have turned up at 3 o’clock but he did not. Hill had said that he would have to go across some time and explain it to him and [Clough] had told [Hill] he would be across here in half an hour…Hill had told [Clough] that it was something that Fenton had done totally on his own, and the boss told Hill…you go back to Forest, and you can tell the chairman and the manager that if I am implicated in any of this whatsoever I will [put you] all in jail…subsequent to that I understand that Fenton did go over to see Clough to apologise to him…No one was quite certain about who had the actual money that Fenton had got. Mr Clough appears to have read the article since according to Mr Gemmill [Archie Gemmill, one of the Forest back-room staff], shortly after the article appeared Mr Clough spoke to Mr Gemmill on that subject. Later, we heard that Mr Gemmill relayed the content of this conversation to Mr Clarke [Allan Clarke, another member of the Forest back-room staff] on the telephone.

Mr Clarke told the Inquiry:”[Gemmill] told me he had seen Brian Clough and that he was very upset reading in the newspaper today about the Haaland deal and where money had been passed over. I saw Brian Clough myself possibly a week or fortnight later when he himself told me that he had rang the club and asked to speak to Frank Clark who was not available so he spoke to Hill and he asked him what it was about. The Inquiry has seen no evidence to indicate that any payment was made to Mr Clough by Mr Hauge either in connection with the transfer of Mr Haaland or otherwise.9. MR CLOUGH’S REACTION9.1 It was some time after Mr Fenton received his payment from Mr Hauge in March 1994, that the Sunday Express printed an article suggesting that monies deriving from the Haaland transfer had found their way back to Mr Clough.

He was patient with the ball and took what the defense gave to the tune of over 300 yards passing.However, Jimmy’s youth reared i’s ugly head in the second half, where he wanted to respond to the Tar Heel’s last minute field goal at the end of the first half.On the very first play from scrimmage, Jimmy tried to force in a throw into triple coverage, rather than throw the ball away and living to play another down.Result: six points going the other way.It’s often those mistakes that come back to haunt you. Despite scoring a few against West Ham I still can’t see anyone in their team with a consistent supply of goals. Despite all this I am tipping West Brom to fight very bravely and the leave the field with a battling draw, which I think they would take right now. Verdict: 1-1  Chelsea v. No, not this history, but that would be nice.Ever since Ron Gardenhire took over as manager of the Minnesota Twins in 2002, his team has won every direct head-to-head battle for the American League Central.The Twins’ gritty, fundamental, “piranha” brand of baseball has beat out the White Sox’ mashing, high-powered offense brand of baseball all three times these two teams have squared off for the division in 2003, 2004, and to a lesser extent, 2006.They say that those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.

Incidence rates ofserious infections were 4.2 per 100 patient years in the DB period and 2.8 per100 patient years in the cumulative phase. Outcomes: inhibition of structural damage progression4X-ray data from the AIM LTE, also presented at EULAR this week, demonstratedthat over 5 years, ORENCIA inhibited structural damage progression in themajority of patients on treatment. 45.1% of patients (n=120) assessed at year 5continued to show no progression in structural damage. 98% of patients who werenon-progressors during years 1-4 remained non-progressors at year 5.

To view presentations on these data from leading RA experts, please log on tothe following media webcast: from 09:00 CEST on Friday 12 June 2009 About ORENCIAORENCIA is a selective co-stimulation modulator of T-cell activation. ORENCIA isdesigned to prevent full T-cell activation and inhibit the release of chemicalsleading to joint inflammation and destruction as observed in RA.5ORENCIA is the first biologic discovered and developed in Bristol-Myers Squibbresearch centres and was approved in May 2007 by the European Commission. ORENCIA in combination with methotrexate is indicated for the treatment ofmoderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis in adult patients who have had aninsufficient response or intolerance to other disease-modifying anti-rheumaticdrugs including at least one tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor. A reduction in the progression of joint damage and improvement of physicalfunction have been demonstrated during combination treatment with ORENCIA andmethotrexate.

The safety profile of ORENCIA has been studied through more than 10,000patient-years of exposure and has demonstrated a consistent safety profile to 7years.2Medicinal products, including ORENCIA, which affect the immune system, mayaffect host defences against infections and malignancies. Serious infections, atleast possibly related to treatment, were reported in 1.8% of patients withORENCIA and in 1.0% of patients not treated by ORENCIA (receiving placebo).There is a need to evaluate and monitor patients regarding the risk of infectionprior to and during treatment. In the placebo-controlled clinical trials, thefrequency of malignancies with ORENCIA was 1.4% and with placebo 1.1%. Theserates are similar to that observed in the general RA population.6ORENCIA, like other biologics, is contraindicated in patients with severe anduncontrolled infections such as sepsis and opportunistic infections and inpatients with hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of theexcipients.

Allergic reactions have been reported uncommonly with ORENCIA inclinical trials, where patients were not required to be pretreated to preventallergic reactions. In the case of any serious allergic/anaphylactic reaction,ORENCIA should be discontinued. About Rheumatoid ArthritisRA is a systemic, chronic, autoimmune disease characterised by inflammation inthe lining of joints (or synovium), causing joint damage with chronic pain,stiffness and swelling. RA causes limited range of motion and decreased functionas a result of affected joints losing their shape and alignment.

We can’t qualify now, but it’s important to continue the progress made in the win at Llanelli last weekend. That was an important hurdle for us to overcome.”With the Six Nations championship around the corner, Nicol said it was crucial that he regained full match-fitness to be in the frame for selection.”At the turn of the year, you always start thinking as a player of what is ahead,” he said. “I’ve only played two full games this season, so I need to get some game time under my belt.”Nicol, who captained Scotland before injury led to Budge Pountney taking over the leadership, continued: “Ian McGeechan, the coach, hasn’t spoken to me about the captaincy It’s not something I’m too concerned with.

Ben Cohen demolished Biarritz with a hat-trick of tries scored in seven devastating minutes midway through the second half of this entertaining European Cup match at Franklin’s Gardens to give the holders their first win in this season’s competition.

Ben Cohen demolished Biarritz with a hat-trick of tries scored in seven devastating minutes midway through the second half of this entertaining European Cup match at Franklin’s Gardens to give the holders their first win in this season’s competition.
Saints’ triumph, which looked distinctly unlikely until Cohen’s powerful intervention, throws open Pool One and offers a lifeline to Leinster, who will travel to France a point ahead of Biarritz, with a place in the quarter-finals hanging on Saturday’s result at the Parc des Sports Aguiléra.Some teams exhilarate and infuriate in equal measure. Biarritz are one; especially on their travels and when they are apparently coasting towards victory. So, for that matter are Leinster, who squandered a24-9 half-time lead againstEdinburgh at Donnybrook on Friday evening only to be left, hanging on grimly at the end to draw 34-34.While they are some way short of being the finished article Biarritz should be a different proposition on their own turf, though if they fall away as badly in the second half against the Irishmen, as they did here their chances of making the knock-out stages of the tournament will evaporate.Biarritz’s coach, the former France winger, Patrice Lagisquet, has welded his team into an effective unit, particularly dangerous when they decided to put some width on the ball. Yet they were only dangerous in fits and starts against a Northampton side sorely depleted by injuries.One Saint whose return was greeted with a welcome cheer though was Nick Beal, making his first start since breaking a leg in May. It took him just three minutes to get on the score sheet with a try made for him by Luca Martin The Biarritz response was immediate and telling.

Frano Botica delivered a peach of a pass out of the tackle for Nicolas Couttet to cross. Botica converted and exchanged penalties with Alastair Hepher, before we saw Biarritz at their best.Philippe Bidabe initiated the move, drew what remained of the Saints cover on their right flank, for Philippe Bernat-Salles to race across from 30 metres for a scintillating try. Botica converted to take Biarritz to 17-8 and looking good to add more. But Steve Thompson, a hooker operating as an emergency blind-side flanker, pulled a try back for Saints, which Hepher converted to cut the lead to two points at the interval.Sebastien Bonetti’s try 10 minutes after the restart suggested that Biarritz were capable of drawing away, but Cohen took it upon himself to demolish those ambitions with his second-half thunder.Northampton: N Beal; L Martin (S Webster 80), A Bateman, M Allen (M Tucker 62), B Cohen; A Hepher, D Malone; G Pagel, S Brotherstone, M Stewart, A Newman, T Rodber (Capt), S Thompson, A Rennick, G Seely.Biarritz: S Bonetti; P Bernat-Salles (B Daguerrre 60), P Bidabe, N Couttet, S Legg; F Botica, S Bonnet (N Morlaes 60); E Menieu (M Fitzgerald 61), J-M Gonzales (Capt), D Avril, O Nauroy, J-P Versailles (O Roumat 49), S Betsen, M Liÿvremont (C Milhÿres 65 ), T LievremontReferee: N Whitehouse (Wales)..
