Atypical Antipsychotics: Off-Label Uses
The use of second-generation antipsychotics for off-label indications is increasingly common but often unjustified by research.

South Bay Credit Union Celebrates Holiday Season with Free Family Photos for Members
To celebrate the holiday season, the $79 million South Bay Credit Union in Redondo Beach, Calif., invited its 6,000 members and their families to take free photos with Santa Claus earlier this month.
Jennifer Oliver, president/CEO of South Bay CU, said the family photos with Santa Claus were taken by professional photographer Eric Marseglia, a credit union member who went the extra mile to get the families smiling.
South Bay CU Board Chair Jerry Gaines greeted and talked to members as they waited in line for their photos. And credit union member John Crookston, a retired firefighter, filled in for Santa Claus.
"Many of our members received more than one photo… many received five or six. We encouraged them to share the photos with family, post on Facebook and print them for their own personal use," said Oliver.
"We had about 50 members who participated. Since it was our first go at it, we didn't have anything to show the quality of the photos to our members. We think it will be better next year with samples," Oliver said.

For the summer, most Princeton students leave campus for destinations and activities around the world. Others remain to continue research and work on a campus warmed by the sun. It is a time for rejuvenation and reflection. It is a time for absorbing the tranquility of Princeton's surroundings.

Jonathan Andrew Hume is currently playing Simba in The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre. He returns to London having played the role in the Singaporean production. Hume also played Judas in the 2004 Jesus Christ Superstar tour as well as making television appearances in Hope & Glory and Eastenders. Here he talks about his experience of playing the iconic role, and the effect The Lion King story has had on him…
Why do you think The Lion King has been such a long running success?
The Lion King is a spectacular show. There are so many layers to it and at the heart of it is a timeless story that resonates with everyone.
How did you react to being asked to play such an iconic role as Simba?
Ever since I first saw The Lion King, I fell in love with it. I used to watch the video with my brother so many times that we could recite the words along with the characters! Simba's journey is really inspirational. When I was offered the role, it felt as if I'd been told to play a childhood hero!
You've done some TV work – do you prefer the stage?
Yes, most definitely. On the stage, there's no opportunity to stop and start over again like with television or film. I love the challenge of reproducing the story every day, but still keeping it fresh for those coming to see it for the first time.
How old were you when Disney's Lion King film came out? Did the story have a profound effect on you?
I was 11 years old when the film was released. If I think about what the story means to me, I'm reminded of Simba's progression and growth that leads him to succeed. By learning from our mistakes, we can develop and succeed in our lives.
Have you ever had any wardrobe malfunctions on stage?
As part of my costume, I wear a beautiful hand-beaded corset. Unfortunately, some of the beads occasionally fall off with all the dancing. Even after the costumes are created, there's still a lot of hard work that goes into maintaining them.
You were Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar – how does it feel going from villain to hero?
It's always fun playing the bad guy! There's something appealing about acting in a way completely unlike yourself. But playing the good guy is just as fun. Being able to save the day and get the girl eight times a week is a good feeling!
Why should theatre-goers see The Lion King? And after that why should they see it again?
The Lion King is a musical for kids and adults, theatre-lovers and first-timers. The show is so rich with detail that it's impossible to take it all in the first time. The beautiful puppetry and costumes, the vivid make-up and lighting, the enormous staging, the evocative music and choreography all combine to create this wonderful musical. Who wouldn't want to see it again?!
The Lion King is currently playing at the Lyceum Theatre. Book tickets to see the show here.

Where is the Church of God to be found? If the Church that brings salvation is a mystery, can it actually be found in the world, is it an invisible entity or is it simply a pious hope?
The Second Vatican Council is unequivocal in answering this question. "The Church, constituted and organized as a society in the present world, subsists in the Catholic Church, which is governed by the successor of Peter and by the bishops in communion with him" (LG 8).
That funny word "subsists" has a history. The original proposal at Vatican II was to use the word "is" in order to say something like, "The one true Church is the Catholic Church." Some bishops, however, argued successfully that such a formulation would appear to deny that other Christian churches are instruments of sanctification.
So the formulation was changed to "The one true Church is present in the Catholic Church." But there were problems with this approach as well. It implied that the true Church was some entity greater than the Catholic Church. It seemed also to deny that all salvation comes through the Catholic Church - a basic tenet of doctrine from the Church's early days.
So the council fathers settled on "subsist." It made clear that the Mystical Body is fully present in the Catholic Church and that such fullness is found nowhere else.
There was perhaps a time when such an assertion might have been followed by trumpet-blowing and chest-thumping. But not at Vatican II.
Lumen Gentium went on immediately to assert that "many elements of sanctification and of truth are found outside (the Catholic Church's) visible confines." This assertion provided much of the foundation for the post-Vatican II ecumenical movement.
Pope Francis kisses the foot of a prison inmate during the Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord's Supper at Rome's Casal del Marmo prison for minors March 28.
The document then proceeded to assert that the Church must follow Christ's example of ministering in the midst of poverty and oppression. It noted that Christ "emptied himself, taking the nature of a slave" (Philippians 2.7) and that the Church should do likewise.
The Church, it said, needs earthly resources to proclaim its mission, but its main proclamation is through "humility and self-denial."
This is an astounding statement, one which has only begun to be realized in a few small corners of the Church, such as the corner occupied by the current bishop of Rome. Pope Francis embodies the council's teaching that the Church should take the same path as that taken by Jesus Christ. How novel!
In the poor and suffering, the Church recognizes the face of Christ, Lumen Gentium continued. The Church itself is "at once holy and always in need of purification."
People sometimes talk about the spirit of Vatican II in such a way that it supersedes the actual text of the Vatican II documents. This is a dubious claim. But here we see the spirit of Vatican II written right into perhaps its most important document.
Yes, the fullness of the means of salvation is to be found in the Catholic Church, but that is no cause for triumphalism, Lumen Gentium seems to be saying.
The Church ought to be a humble Church, one that repents for its sins, one that relies on Christ for its power. The Church evangelizes, not with a long list of its strengths and accomplishments, but with empty hands.
This is one of the most astonishing little sections in the Vatican II documents. The council remains true to the faith it has received, but it adds a twist at the end, one that has the power to transform how the Church perceives itself and how it presents itself to the world.
Pope Francis has clearly taken that section of Lumen Gentium to heart. He has no time for the religious "leader" who, he says, is "self-sufficient, has all the answers to every question."
Some say the Church would draw more people to itself if it had grand expansive ceremonies, lots of showmanship and a touting of its many accomplishments.
But in this section, the Vatican II fathers suggest that that is not the true face of the Church. The Church is most true to itself when it walks hand-in-hand with the poor, the suffering and the dying.
The Catholic Church will always offer the fullness of the Christian faith. Equally important, however, is that it offer that fullness to the world in a spirit of humility and poverty.

It's just another professional porno creampie - there is no 'surprise' about it. She asks for his cum and then sits there and takes it and even collects it willingly when it's over. These used to be awesome but now you get more of this stuff than the real 'surprise' videos, which are better in most ways.
I need to fill her with my creampie!!!!
she ' s beautiful and sexy!!!!
@ ADEQUATE she's so sexy, and none of-em looks surprised.

She was surprised this version just conveniently leaves out the part where she clearly says she hates creampies and the part at the end where she goes crazy because he came in her anyway..
Man shes fucking hot
she's hot and she is expert
I have seen one of them surprised.
i love this cock
@brazil. A golden shower is when one oerson urinates on another. A money shot is an ejaculatory response. Stupid people shouldn't leave comments.

They never seem 'supprised...'

Democratic representative Jared Polis of Colorado was the only gay congressional member who didn't attend President Barack Obama's signing ceremony last week of a presidential memorandum extending some benefits to gay federal employees' same-sex partners, but he says many observers have read too much into his absence. Polis took time out to speak with The Advocate about his Oval Office no-show, why he will attend the LGBT Democratic National Committee fund-raiser this Thursday, and his frustration with the slow pace of ending "don't ask, don't tell."
The Advocate:Why didn't you attend the Oval Office signing of the presidential memo extending certain benefits to same-sex partners of federal workers?Rep. Jared Polis: We just found out about it the day of and we let the White House know at that time that we wouldn't be able to make it. There was a congressional baseball game that I had been practicing for for many months. It was at National Stadium that night and we won 15 to 10. I got a sacrifice fly [run batted in] and a single.
I hear the Democrats beat the Republicans for the first time in many years… Yes, the first time in nine years.
So was your absence any sort of statement that somehow the step being taken by the president wasn't significant enough for you to change your plans? No, there's no statement. Certainly, if this had been a major announcement of equal rights for our community, I would have let my teammates down and attended, but this was a small step in the right direction and not something that would have merited me letting my congressional colleagues down.
Do you plan to attend the DNC fund-raiser Thursday? Of course, I'm a Democrat and a proud Democrat. Our party's not perfect, but certainly I will help the Democrats however I can. I did an event for Democrats for education reform Monday, and if you figure our party has a ways to go on LGBT equality, we have even further to go on education reform where President Obama has been a great leader, but those are battles we fight every day.
What do you think of those who are boycotting the fund-raiser in order to express some real discontent with the Democratic Party for what many feel is lack of movement on LGBT issues? First of all, there's a huge difference between Democrats and the Republican Party on equality issues, even when something very noncontroversial like hate-crimes legislation came up to Congress, we only had a handful of Republicans who joined with an overwhelming majority of Democrats to pass that bill [in the House]. So there's a huge difference between the parties, and there's a huge difference with Obama as president with a number of these smaller announcements.
What a lot of the community is frustrated about -- and I share this frustration -- is the brief that defended [the Defense of Marriage Act]. President Obama ran on a platform of repealing DOMA in its entirety and certainly we can take him at his word on that. But filing a brief to defend it and using some of the citations that they did was rightfully offensive to our community and that's why many donors have chosen to withhold their donations until they feel more comfortable with the Democratic Party.
Do you take issue with that? No, I think that's up to each individual donor. Some donors might choose to support the party now, some might delay. I would certainly hope that before the next election we've demonstrated that we've moved substantially on the equality agenda. But if the Democrats fail to deliver on the equality agenda, then it's reasonable that gay and lesbian donors might choose to donate to activist groups rather than the party itself.
What about this idea from Bruce Bastian -- who obviously has a wealth of resources -- saying that he's not going to make blanket donations to the Democratic Party but instead will support individual candidates and politicians who are moving forward on LGBT issues? I think that's a good strategic way to give. I hope he'll donate money to my campaign.
Have you been pleased with what the administration has done so far and what leadership on the Hill has done so far on LGBT issues? No, and I don't think it's a matter of people's positions and where they stand, it's a matter of priorities. Clearly we have an economic crisis, two wars, and health care reform and energy reform, but I don't think that should stand in the way of making sure our community can achieve full equality.
Wednesday, Rep. Barney Frank will be holding a press conference about introducing a transgender-inclusive employment nondiscrimination bill. How much momentum does that bill have and where does it stand in terms of votes? It will certainly be one of our top priorities for our equality caucus here in Congress. As you know, many states already have nondiscrimination laws and we're hoping that we'll be able to build momentum for this bipartisan bill and pass it.
Do you have any idea about the vote count? I think we have an excellent chance of getting it through. It will be coming through my committee, the Education and Labor Committee -- we expect it will come out of that committee and hopefully have the support that it needs to pass. It should be a particularly easy vote for any member of Congress who comes from a state that already has protections.
Any idea on timing? Could it be passed before the end of this year? We hope to bring it to floor as soon as we can. Nondiscrimination in the workplace is just a basic American value and Americans certainly don't stand for discrimination based on race or gender, or sexual orientation or gender identity and I think this bill just reflects that broad American value. So I'm confident that we'll have enough votes to get it through [in the House].
In terms of DOMA, I know some of the leadership on the Hill was discussing a bill that would repeal section 3 of DOMA, which would allow the federal government to recognize gay marriages. What's on the horizon for DOMA repeal? I support a full repeal, but we'll certainly be wiling to negotiate any step in the right direction. As more states have same-sex marriage, it's become a more critical issue at the federal level as to how we treat those marriages. President Obama's recent announcement that they will count same-sex marriages for the purposes of the census was a small step in the right direction -- it means something in terms of data, it doesn't mean much to married couples. But I'm confident that if we keep chipping away at this, whether it's through the courts or legislatively, we can make sure that marriage is valid across all 50 states.
Do you anticipate any forthcoming DOMA repeal bill this year? Yes, I expect that there will be a bill this year. As I said, as more and more states allow same-sex marriage, it's becoming a critical issue for the federal government to act on.
What about "don't ask, don't tell" -- there's no Senate bill, there's no movement on the repeal bill that was dropped in the House earlier this year. What's the major holdup here? I'm very frustrated with "don't ask, don't tell." Congress will have a chance this week to end that policy as a part of the [Defense Department] reauthorization and I've offered a couple amendments on that topic. And yet the House Armed Services Committee hasn't held a markup on the current bill yet. Some of that is internal politics -- the lead sponsor of that bill, Ellen Tauscher, has been appointed to a White House post.
Again, there's an opportunity this week, and there will be another opportunity in a couple weeks with the Defense appropriations bill to simply remove funding for the discharge operation. The reauthorization bill sets up the rules and laws for the Department of Defense and the appropriations bill funds Defense. Both of them present opportunities to end "don't ask, don't tell." So there's ample opportunity and we just need a commitment from our leadership to get it done and it will get done.
On the bill this week, I've offered an amendment that would suspend investigations of "don't ask, don't tell."
Any traction on that? We had a letter go to President Obama -- and 77 members of Congress signed on -- that basically asked for something very similar to what my amendment proposes, which is a suspension of the investigations under "don't ask, don't tell." So it's not a full repeal, but it would give Congress some breathing room and give the Armed Services Committee some time to do this the right way.
[Update: In the Rules Committee, Representative Polis offered his amendment to suspend investigations and then withdrew it, as is common practice when an amendment does not have enough votes to pass a committee vote.]
Do you have anything to add before we end? Here in Congress I share the sentiment that many activists have that we're going too slow on these issues. But I think people also need to understand that Congress goes slow on a lot of issues. There's a lot of frustration from others in the progressive community. Immigration reform is an issue that I care deeply about -- there's an LGBT aspect to that, so that same-sex couples can get fair treatment under immigration law -- but immigration reform as a whole is a difficult issue; it's one that may or may not be put off yet again.
But we're hopeful that we will make progress on equality, it's just a question of how much and how fast. We're certainly moving in the right direction. The pressure from the community helps and we need to make sure that all members of Congress hear it. Gays and lesbians live across the country and it's critical that whether their representative is a Democrat or Republican that they hold their leaders accountable and demand that we move forward on an equality agenda.
Do you worry that if legislation like repeal of DADT or DOMA doesn't happen in the first two years that it might not get done at all as the White House looks ahead to trying to win reelection in 2012? I think this year is a great year to pass equality bills, and in terms of what the LGBT community should do to move us forward, I do think that we should acknowledge that there's a major difference between the Democratic and Republican parties. It's a very different Congress than it was when Republicans controlled it -- instead of talking about antigay amendments preventing gay marriage, we're talking about when and how we're going to repeal DOMA.
So the way our government is set up can make it difficult to get things done, but it's important that the LGBT community advocates on our issues. Everyone who cares about an equality agenda should reach out in a friendly way to their Congress members, ask them what they are doing, maybe share a personal story and what these laws mean for their lives and how critical it is that we act on these issues.

|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
50th Ordinary Session, Banjul, The Gambia, October 2011. Statement by Rencontre africaine pour la Défense des Droits de l'Homme (RADDHO) And ARTICLE 19 Under the agenda Item number 9 b Activity reports of Members of the Commission and special Mechanisms
Madam Chairperson,
Honourable Commissioners,
Distinguished delegates representing States Parties and international human rights organizations
The NGOs La Rencontre Africaine pour la Défense des Droits de l'Homme (RADDHO) and ARTICLE 19 West Africa wish to express their deep concern about the lack of respect for democracy and the work of human rights defenders to promote and protect human rights in Senegal.
On Thursday, October 20, 2011, Malick Noël Seck, Secretary General of the " Convergence Socialiste" mouvement affiliated to the Socialist (opposition) Party was sentenced for making "death threats" and "contempt of court" after filing together with members of his association a letter addressed to the Constitutional Council asking the members of that body not to accept the candidacy of President Wade for a third term and to take their responsibilities.
Malick Noël Seck was sentenced for expressing political opinions, in line with the right to freedom of expression enshrined in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 9 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights and Article 10 of the Senegalese Constitution. (Enclosed for your appraisal is the statement for which he was unjustly convicted).
The letter written by Malick Noël Seck cannot justify prosecution for the above-mentioned offences. Indeed, the letter delivered to the Constitutional Council does not contain any death threats addressed to the members of that body. Further, the letter does not constitute any "contempt of court" and is simply the expression of a citizen's views criticizing public organs that have a certain duties and should be accountable. All the facts surrounding this case demonstrate that the conviction was motivated by political reasons.
This politically motivated trial took place in a special context because in four months (February 2012) Senegal will be holding presidential elections. This is happening amidst a big legal and political debate on the candidacy of President Abdoulaye Wade for a third term. This situation has also sparked major demonstrations especially in Dakar since 23 June, 2011 when a constitutional amendment bill tabled before the National Assembly making it possible to elect the President and Vice President on a ticket in the first round with 25% of the votes. This bill was rejected by the Senegalese, after a massive mobilization by the people who demonstrated in front of Parliament. On the day it was expected to be passed, the bill was withdrawn just in time.
Since then, stakeholders organised around the Movement of the 23 (M23), made up of more than 149 civil society organizations, political parties, citizen movements and eminent individuals, have come together for the purpose of taking all legal, democratic and non-violent measures to prevent the violation of the Constitution of Senegal by President Abdoulaye Wade who is doing all he can to run for a third unconstitutional term.
On 23 August, 2011, M23 organized a Forum that brought together five academics specialized in constitutional law including Professor Emeritus Babacar Gueye, a member of the Drafting Committee of the 2001 Constitution and Barrister Doudou Ndoye, a member of the Steering Committee of the Parti Démocratique Sénégalais (PDS). According to the opinions expressed by the legal experts who took part in that forum, both the spirit and letter of the 2001 Constitution limit the number of terms to 2 and do not allow the outgoing President of the Republic to seek re-election in 2012.
The uncompromising position of President Wade's regime that is seeking a third term by ignoring the Constitution encourages the aggressive behaviour of his supporters who, on 23 June 2011, violently attacked the President of RADDHO, Alioune TINE and his colleague, Oumar Diallo, who is in charge of Protection and Emergency Response within the organization and a member of the General Assembly of the OMCT. Following this aggression, both human rights defenders were taken to hospital where they were admitted for emergency treatment. These attacks are an example of the many cases of violence against journalists and defenders that have remained unpunished.
Madam Chairperson, as you know, human rights defenders and the media are more exposed in the course of their work in the period before, during and after elections.
Today, the President of RADDHO, Mr. TINE, is the subject of threats, intimidation and harassment on a daily basis. The President of the Republic has publicly threatened RADDHO, asking it not to observe the upcoming presidential elections, and promised to have its President prosecuted. Members of the government and their allies of the ruling party are waging a smear campaign against most of the human rights defenders.
Madam Chairperson, in view of the urgency of the situation and the imminent risks that threaten the rule of law in Senegal, peace and national stability, we appeal:
To the African Commission
- To closely monitor the tense situation in Senegal and the recurrent threats to human rights defenders; and accompany the electoral process.
- To use all the available procedures in the Commission to draw the attention of the African Union and activate the early warning mechanisms to prevent the conflicts and irreparable harm that still haunt the memory of the African peoples.
- To request the Commissioner in charge of Senegal to engage the authorities about the need to respect the Constitution of Senegal and protect human rights.
- To request the government of Senegal to stop the physical and verbal threats and judicial harassment against human rights defenders and civil society who have mobilized to defend the Constitution and democratic achievements of Senegal.
Thank you

Will say this once and then nothing else. Defamation laws quite clear in Aus.be careful.
Fox took it better than I expected
anyway he's just voiced his support, he hasn't said he'll be introducing the legislation. As pointed out in the politico article most people suspected Obama supported gay marriage. So I'm not quite sure if this will have much impact. I mean, I think they learned from 2004 or w/ever when a couple of states ran gay marriage votes on the same day of the election, driving up the turn-up for bush.
The problem for Obama and Democrats is that the people who oppose gay marriage are much more passionate about the issue than the majority of people who support it. This is the kind of issue that gets the religious right to turn out the vote. Generally speaking, the support for gay marriage comes from the younger segment of the US population. That segment is notorious for not turning up to vote.
I have to say I grudgingly admire the tactics of the religious right on this issue. They know that support for gay marriage is increasing and in a decade or two the vast majority of Americans will support it. Therefore they introduce constitutional amendments at the State level now, when they can still control the outcome. Once these amendments are passed, it becomes extremely hard to overturn them (as no matter the increasing support for gay marriage, the Southern state legislators and Governorships will still be controlled by social conservatives who will not make moves to reverse these amendments). Thereby, the religious right kills a movement in the South before it even has a chance to take off. Damn evil geniuses.

OK, in response to a recent Phoronix article that purports to show how amazing the Panda Board is compared to a 2.5 year old single-core Atom (see TR thread here: http://techreport.com/news/23512/tuesday-shortbread) I have decided to fight fanboism with fact. I went out and installed the Phoronix Test Suite on my Arch Linux notebook and started doing some benchmarks of my own. I have preliminary results posted here and will update the thread as I get the chance to run more tests.
In one corner: The numeric results published by Phoronix from the article in question for the Panda Board (released late 2011 and still representing a very high-end ARM development board) using a dual-core Cortex A9 clocked at 1GHz a piece.
In the other corner: My four year old notebook (purchased August, 2008) with a Core2 Duo P8400 (dual core with 2.26GHz max clock but see explanation below below).
Oh but it is.. you see while my notebook theoretically has two cores and a higher clock speed, I disabled one core and forced the CPU to a lower clock speed using the following commands:
1. Disable the second core:
sudo sh -c "echo 0> /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online"
2. Force the one remaining CPU core into permanent power-saving mode stuck at 800 MHz with no ability to boost back to full-speed:
sudo sh -c "echo powersave /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor"
Output of /proc/cpuinfo taken during the benchmark with single CPU pegged at 100%:
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 23
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8400 @ 2.26GHz
stepping : 6
microcode : 0x60c
cpu MHz : 800.000 <-- This is the actual Mhz of the single core taken during the benchmark

bogomips : 4524.72
clflush size : 64
cache_alignment : 64
address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual
power management:
Here is the first result from C-Ray (a multi-threaded benchmark that has favored the Panda Board), more to follow:
1. Phoronix published results: 875.76 seconds (14 minutes 35.76 seconds) to completion (less is better).
2. Single-core Core 2 at 800 MHz: 746.59 seconds (12 minutes 26.59 seconds) to completion (3 run average, 743.588 minimum, 751.047 maximum)
3. Winner: One core of the Core 2 at 800 Mhz Margin of win: 2 minutes 9.17 seconds (Core 2 is 14.7% faster compared to A9 posted times).
Before I hear how using a 4 year old single underclocked x86 core in multithreaded benchmarks against a higher-clocked multi-core ARM system is somehow cheating in Intel's favor:
1. This test was run from a full-blown KDE 4.9 desktop running on the notebook during the benchmarks because I was too lazy to kill the X-server and drop to the command prompt.
2. Unlike the Panda Board I slapped the Phoronix suite on a boring standardized Arch Linux system and was running the first benchmark in about 15 minutes. No running out trying to optimize every single library with some magical "hardfp" branch and trying to perform brain surgery with exotic GCC options for every test.
3. P.S. --> While I was running these benchmarks, I was also SSHing in to the laptop to collect data and I even took a screenshot (below). Try running KDE 4.9 on the A9 board and taking screenshots DURING THE BENCHMARK RUN and see what kind of timing hit you take.
Edit: Here is a link to a whole album of screenshots I'll be taking. The yakuake terminal is taken in the middle of the second c-ray run, the other two are screenshots of the official Phoronix test suite benchmark results in the web browser on the notebook:

A Pharmacological History of Cocaine Use and Abuse in the World
by David Barry (2012-04-26)
For centuries, folks have actually eaten cocaine to increase work performance, forestall sleepiness, lift frame of mind, and create sensations of elation and euphoria. 1 In the South American Andes, for over a thousand years folks have certainly taken in cocaine by chewing coca leaves or brewing them into a tea. This type of usage appears not to be connected with substantial organic damage or social disorder (Aldrich and Barker, 1976; Antonil, 1978; Forno et al., 1981; Weil, 1986) and has not, by and large, been subjected to repressive authorities control (Henman, l990; Morales, 1989).
There was little usage of coca in the Us or Europe till the mid-nineteenth century, when the plant's principal active ingredient was extracted and offered as a water-soluble powder-- cocaine hydrochloride Western doctors quickly uncovered that cocaine was a successful local anesthetic; they even utilized it, although reduced successfully, as an antidepressant, symptoms of asthma treatment, and inpatient drug rehab centers for opiate dependency. Concerning the exact same time, cocaine was included in various patent medicines and tonics that folks acquired without prescribed to fight a range of typical disorders, consisting of persistent fatigue.
Throughout the late nineteenth century, Americans additionally eaten cocaine recreationally, frequently in drink kind. Vin-Mariani wine and Coca-Cola for instance, were prominent cocaine-based beverages-- and the latter was even industried as a "temperance drink" to folks desiring to prevent liquor (Pendergrast, 1993). There is reduced data offered concerning the leisure usage of cocaine powder throughout the nineteenth century, however it seems to be to have certainly been most typical amongst members of the "criminal underworld" (Grinspoon and Bakalar, 1985; Inciardi, 1992; Musto, 1987)-- a fact that assisted fuel public support for increased authorities controls. Even precipitating anticocaine legislation around the turn of the twentieth century were expanding issue concerning cocaine's possibly damaging physical consequences (Alexander, 1990; Courtwright, 1982; Grinspoon and Bakalar, 1985) and worry, particularly in the South, that the medicine created blacks to behave violently (Morgan, 1981; Musto, 1987; Pendergrast, 1993). Nonetheless, due to the fact that this was an age of increasing federal government control over many readily available intoxicants-- consisting of liquor-- the laws managing cocaine might have had little to do with this medication's certain qualities and consequences.
As early as 1887, states started passing anticocaine laws (Ashley, 1976); and in 1906, by having enactment of the very first Pure Meals and Medication Act, the federal authorities started calling for that items by having cocaine (and some other medications) be designated as to subject matter. Then, in 1914, Congress passed the Harrison Act, which initially just enforced levy and registration demands on the genuine service providers of specific medications, featuring cocaine. Nevertheless, courts rapidly translated this law as providing government medication enforcement officials the power to determine just what made up "genuine" utilization of these medications; and, with this power, they rapidly improved the Harrison Act into a law forbiding all leisure utilization of cocaine.
One prompt repercussion of cocaine prohibition was the eradication of cocaine tonics and drinks. An additional was the appearance of a managed black market in cocaine hydrochloride, which was smuggled into the nation from South United states. Almost certainly, the purity of the item accessible to customers receded, the rate rose far above the $ 2 an ounce that had actually been common throughout the previous century (Courtwright, 199l), and usage came to be more concentrated in deviant subcultures (Ashley, 1976; Grinspoon and Bakalar, 1985; Inciardi, 1992).
After 1930, when an amount of artificial stimulants (especially amphetamine) appeared, cocaine usage might have certainly lowered further, although it continued to be utilized by some designers and entertainers, 2 that usually smelled it, and by intravenous heroin individuals, that used it either as a periodic option to heroin or mixed with heroin to form a "speed-ball" (Grinspoon and Bakalar, 1985). Throughout the 1960s, as part of the more basic boost in the usage of illegal drugs amongst even more "mainstream" Americans, the usage of cocaine most likely increased also, although in 1972, still less than 3 % of the population (grown old twelve and over) stated they had certainly used it (Johnson and Muffler, 1992).
Throughout the remainder of the 1970s and into the early on 1980s, cocaine usage increased gradually, particularly amongst youngsters grown old eighteen to twenty-five (NIDA, 1991a). Quite possibly triggering cocaine's appeal was the authorities's success, initially, in reducing diverted medical amphetamine (Brecher, 1972; Inciardi, 1987; Morgan and Kagan, 1978) and, 2nd, in interdicting adequate cannabises noticeably to reduce its accessibility and increase its cost (Cowan, 1986; Hamid, 1992; Lazare, 1990). As the need for cocaine increased, products increased too, and by 1982, about 28 % of eighteen-to twenty-five-year-olds had at the very least usinged it (NIDA, 1991a). Nevertheless, because of cocaine's fairly high cost-- up to $ 100 for a gram of powder in the very early 1980s-- usage was most rampant amongst the center and upper classes (Grinspoon and Bakalar, 1985). The regular method of ingestion was to smell cocaine hydrochloride powder into the nose, which allows absorption with the nasal mucosa.
Today, practically all cocaine gets in the UNITED STATE in the kind of hydrochloride powder. This powder is extracted in a procedure that starts by blending grated coca leaves with a synthetic cleaning agent (such as ether or fuel) and partly drying it. Then, to make the item water-soluble, this "coca paste" is treated by having hydrochloric acid and dried to a white powder. In this kind, cocaine can be smelled, eaten, or liquefied in water for shot, however it can easily not be smoked since firing up it weakens the cocaine prior to it will definitely volatilize. Nevertheless, with a set of relatively easy chemical treatments, cocaine can be become "freebase"-- an item that seems like the smokeable coca paste. To generate freebase, cocaine hydrochloride is mixed in water by having a liquid base (such as ammonia, baking soft drink, or salt hydroxide) to eliminate the hydrochloric acid. The resulting alkaloidal cocaine is then diffused in a synthetic cleaning agent (such as ether) and delicately heated, inducing many of the fluid to evaporate. 4 The item generated, when put in a glass pipe and fired up, creates vapors of pretty pure cocaine.
Taking in cocaine vapor into the lungs gives the medication more quickly to the circulatory system-- and as a result to the mind-- than does smelling the powder; as a consequence, it generates quicker, more overwhelming consequences. The majority of cocaine customers do not prefer this more remarkable experience-- specifically since it suggests, also, a more fast lessening of the medicine's consequences. Even decreasing freebase's attractiveness is the rather difficult conversion procedure-- which sometimes can be hazardous due to the fact that a couple of the synthetic cleaning agent made use of in the preparation might continue to be in the item being fired up. Nevertheless, freebasing did increase in appeal in the very early 1980s (Hamid, 1992; Inciardi, 1987; Siegel, 1984), primarily bring in folks that were currently relatively hefty customers of powder cocaine (Siegel, 1984; Waldorf et al., 1991; Washton et al., 1986).
Around 1985, yet another type of smokeable cocaine-- called "rock" or "gap"-- appeared. Its development seems like that of freebase, however without the final refinement procedure: cocaine hydrochloride is liquefied in water, sodium bicarbonate (baking soft drink) is included, and the blend is heated then dried into tough, smokeable pellets. These pellets consist of not just alkaloidal cocaine, however sodium bicarbonate and whatever additional fillers and adulterants had certainly been included earlier to the powder; therefore, gap is not as extremely cleansed as freebase, and street samples usually tend to vary from 10 to 40 % cocaine by weight (Inciardi, 1987). Still, firing up gap generates a vapor that is mainly pure cocaine (Snyder et al., 1988), making the experience of using cigarettes gap rather comparable to that of using tobacco freebase. Nonetheless, unlike freebase, which customers usually created themselves from the powder, gap was generally roasted (or "cracked up") by drug dealers that then offered it in ready-to-smoke type (Hamid, 1990).
Damage promptly gotten in appeal, although it never ever came to be as preferred as cocaine powder. For instance, in 1991, almost twenty-four million Americans (grown old twelve and over) stated they had actually used cocaine, examined to less than 4 million for gap (NIDA, 1991b). Although the cost of cocaine had actually been lowering and its high quality increasing throughout the very early 1980s, it was still, in 1985, too costly to be made use of truly by the unsatisfactory. Exactly what gap did was to decrease considerably the fee of the "cocaine high." Merely since smoking cigarettes provides a medication more successfully to the mind than does snorting, a volume of cocaine too tiny to generate a result in powder kind comes to be a successful serving when transformed to split. 5 In 1986, a solitary dosage of gap could be bought for as little as $ 5 or $ 10; and, over the following couple years as the cost of cocaine powder fell also further, the rate of a pellet of hole fell as reduced as $ 2 in some parts of the nation (Cohn, 1986). Therefore, by the late 1980s, what had actually as soon as been called "the champagne of medications" 6 had certainly appeared to the inadequate-- and its usage spread particularly promptly in impoverished urban locations where enterprising youth turned powder cocaine into hole and offered it on the streets (Fagan and Chin, 1989; Hamid, 1990; Williams, 1992).

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Thumpers' started by ELM0T0L0C0, Jan 18, 2013.
Iif you listen to the F5 crew , you better put a Roto Pak on it .
all I nee is 150 miles out of a gas tank after that your are just carrying to much weight in fuel for the type of riding I like to do. Not to mention your range is always determined by the lowest common denominator.
I speak from experience.
I doubt fornication will get you anywhere. However, be able to ride like Curt Caselli or some other guys I'm watching every night on the NBC sports channel might get you a seat on one.
The debate in the big dakar thread is that the Honda does not have
enough fuel capacity .
Honda builds cars and generic bikes,not likely to be selling Rally Replicas anytime soon.
Maybe paint up one of their scooter framed NC700X models to look like a rally bike.
It looks like it only has 3 fuel tanks, so I can see how they would need more. :huh
I need one like that, but can you build mine around the TRX 700 ATV motor?
Tartin' up the ol' XR-L with that rally fairing would do me just fine though.....
Nice to see a proper front fender on a rally bike.
i need one of those
To be honest, I think you would be better of with a CRF with one of the other kits on it (Mecasytems or HT), a WR kitted with a J-vo kit or even a KTM450r.
What rallye did you want it for?
Exactly. What's the point? ... unless you have the speed and skill to make it work the way it's designed to work. Why bother. Better off staying with your DR650 if you like to do bike miles on the cheap. That's what I do. I used to race ... but can no longer do that. I still have fun ... and my bike NEVER breaks down.
It's going to take Honda a few years and lots of rallies worldwide to catch up to KTM in this sort of competition. But they can do it if the money is there ... and if the big boys at Honda stay with it.
Once Yamaha and Honda get up to speed it might not be so good for KTM and BMW(Husky). BMW can spend their way to success ... but KTM? now in the hands of Bajai, cannot for do this for long. But Honda won't crush them ... they need them to be in the market.
I would not be surprised to see Honda produce a "wanna be" road legal repli-racer copy of the rally racer.
I'm sure this first racer is primitive and flawed .... and I doubt Honda put everything they have into it. They never want to come on too strong. They need the competition to survive ... only to show the world how superior they are ... when they really want to be superior.
The wanna-be 6-speed with a fairing and large fuel capacity would be of interest to many. This Honda Dakar effort hits at that possibility.
Funny the derisive questioning of someone's interest. WTF does anyone know about other's posting, and do the uppity posters actually hold such a lofty position to question? Funny site, if not some KTM-envy blowhard then some other blowhard lecturing someone...guys all over this site use race bikes for ADV travel, so what, not the right brand...?:huh
Honda has already done it, competitors in Dakar in the top positions, right from the start. When Honda gets the riders in line, domination may follow.
Hey, I'm famous!
I've always said that Honda should make an Adventure bike out of the XRR engine, which is the best engine that Honda ever produced. A 6-speed tranny, E-start and modern suspension and brakes would be a huge start.
"FHF": Former Honda Faithful; Those of us that realize(d) that Honda's glory days are well past them and that the company is ran by Bean Counters, Lawyers and "Brand Managers" and have moved on to other marques and no longer have garages, sheds or shops full of Red.
In my case the Honda quad has been replaced with a Can-Am, my Honda dirt bike has been replaced with a KTM and then a Husqvarna, SWMBO Honda dirt bike has been replaced with a TM and my beloved VFR 800 was replaced with a Ninja 1000. The little, little bastards XR 100 is getting replaced with a Yamaha TTR 230 and my Honda inverter genset has been replaced by a Yamaha.
In all the cases when looking at the replacement models for the Hondas replacing a Honda with another Honda was going to leave us with a vehicle that was any / some of or all of the following:
Overpriced (compared to similar models from other manufacturers), antiquated (in the case of their quads and dirt bikes still running carbs), not available in Honda's lineup (TM EN144) or that had really strayed from their previous models (VFR 800 to VFR 1200).
The fit and finish on their newer stuff just does not seem to be near what it was and to qualify this statement in the past two years I have bought a new quad, two new dirt bikes, a 650 class dual sport, a Ninja 1000 and a 3kw inverter genset.
DAMN! I will never own a KTM, that is the 5th KTM I've seen broken like that. Imagine getting up from your spill, walk back to your bike and you see this? instant heart break!
I'm guessing English is not your first language, so you can be forgiven for the grammatical errors, but seriously, KTM trolls have been done so many times before and it just isn't funny anymore.
If you do get a bite, it will just be from somebody who is bored, or sees an easy opportunity to make a n00b look like an complete idiot.
Half the time the people who will reply don't own a KTM.
So please, do everyone a favor, and just give it away now.
Oh and I do think it's good that you can post in a forum that is predominantly using a language that isn't your native one, it is more than most of us can do, but please use your talent for decent posts, and not mindless dribble.
And fill out your profile please.
The funny thing about this photo is the head tube is still on the bike. Looks like someone fucked up a head bearing maintenance routine or is just clueless. Totally KTM's fault.
Yeah that happens all the time. Ive welded my KTM's frame back together so many times its ridiculous.

Oklahoma Jury to Deliberate Toyota Acceleration Case
9 comments
A jury in Oklahoma County, Okla., is expected to begin deliberations Thursday afternoon in a case against Toyota Motors in which attorneys allege an electronics defect caused a Toyota Camry to accelerate suddenly, leading to an accident that killed one woman and seriously injured another, according to the Associated Press.
If the jury were to rule against Toyota, the effects would likely reach far beyond the Japanese automaker and would touch an embedded system community that has been virtually wired into the automotive industry.
This case -- one of a host of lawsuits filed against Toyota concerning unintended acceleration in its vehicles -- is the first in which the plaintiff has laid the blame squarely on the electronic throttle system. The focus is on software and electronics used in the electronic throttle control, rather than the entanglement of the accelerator pedal with a floor mat -- something Toyota previously cited as a cause of accidents. The case (Bookout v. Toyota Motor Corp. CJ-2008-7969, District Court, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma) hinges on whether a software bug and/or a glitch in car electronics can kill a person.
Jean Bookout, then 76, was driving a 2005 Toyota Camry when it crashed in 2007. She was injured, and Barbara Schwarz, a 70-year-old passenger, was killed. Attorneys for Bookout and for Schwarz's estate maintain that the accident was the result of a flaw in Toyota's electronic throttle system.
Toyota's lawyers, disputing the claim, were scheduled to make their closing arguments Thursday morning, with jury deliberations to follow.

Notes: Giles nears return
With knee better, right fielder could start rehab assignment
By Elizabeth M. Botello / MLB.com
"That's what I'm shooting for right now," Giles said of his imminent return. "Today was the best day I've had. Basically, been able to do everything pain free. Today was a very good day."
Giles has been on the DL since May 20 because of a bruised bone in his right knee. Since his injury, Giles' position has been mostly occupied by Jose Cruz Jr. and Hiram Bocachica.
Giles will likely begin a Minor League rehabilitation assignment before he takes the field for the Padres, and it could happen as soon as Monday. But where it will be is uncertain, although Giles may have a say as to where.
"I'll probably be able to chose where I go," Giles said, "but it'd just be a few days to get some at-bats and make sure the knee can hold up for three days in a row and that I don't waste anymore time here."
The destination that makes the most sense is Class A Lake Elsinore, which is located about a one hour and 15 minute drive northeast of San Diego.
"Yeah, I don't want to but they want to make sure if something does happen to it, it happens at a rehab assignment and not activate me or put me back on the 15-day DL."
Giles ran the bases before Friday's game against the Red Sox at PETCO Park and said his knee, for the most part, feels fine.
"A little tight in there but at least the pain was pretty much gone today," he said.
Giles will test the knee more on Saturday, when he attempts to slide on it before the game.
"We'll see how it goes from there," Giles said.
Revolving roster: The Padres made a roster move prior to Friday's game against the Red Sox.
San Diego placed right-handed reliever Doug Brocail on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Thursday, with a strained left gluteus muscle.
The Padres recalled left-handed reliever Royce Ring from Triple-A Portland, where he was 4-0 with a 1.23 ERA in 25 games. Ring, who attended San Diego State University, had 39 strikeouts in 29 1/3 innings.
Brocail injured himself during his last appearance on Wednesday, when he allowed four runs in 1 2/3 innings against the Orioles.
"A couple things brought it on," Padres manager Bud Black said. "Through his delivery he felt something, and he felt something covering first base. He was a little bit frustrated by his last outing. I think the injury was probably out of frustration."
Enter Ring, 26, who pitched well for Portland and didn't allow a run in his two outings for the Padres earlier this season against Washington on April 30 and May 2 before he was optioned back to the Beavers.
"Royce has pitched extremely well," Black said. "He's had a good two and a half months of pitching. It shows the depth we have that we can bring up a guy like that with numbers he produced at Triple A."
Ring was able to sleep in his own bed in San Diego on Thursday, as the Beavers were in Fresno playing a series against the Grizzlies.
Ring hasn't appeared in a game since Sunday, so he was deemed available for Friday's game.
Headley's future: Now that Padres third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff is back and nearly at full strength after a lower back strain sidelined him for a week, the team's other rookie third baseman -- Chase Headley -- will be headed back to the Minor Leagues soon.
And with infielder Oscar Robles out indefinitely after suffering a fracture of his left wrist Thursday in Fresno, the Padres can fill Headley's spot with any number of players. If they're looking for an infielder, they could turn to Craig Stansberry, who can play second base and third base and entered Friday's game in Fresno with a .311 batting average.
The Padres want Headley to play every day and he won't get that opportunity now that Kouzmanoff is back. And Portland seems to be the best fit for Headley, considering he was hitting .357 at Double-A San Antonio.
Friar notes: Boston slugger David Ortiz wowed the early-arriving crowd Friday at PETCO Park with some tape-measure blasts during batting practice, though he did so with an aluminum bat. ... Los Angeles Lakers forward Luke Walton, a San Diego native, was on the field before the game talking with Padres general manager Kevin Towers. ... Mike Cameron has hit safely in 10 of his last 13 games, hitting .365 in that stretch. He's hitting .323 in June after a slow start at the plate this season. ... The 1,000 tickets that were made available Friday morning for the three-game series against the Red Sox were sold within 30 minutes. ... Black was peppered with questions by local and Boston media about the importance of this series. He essentially shrugged. "I like to play good teams. I like to play any teams. We play the schedule. I don't see this as any more important or unimportant as any series. We know we're playing a good team," he said.
On deck: The Padres continue their three-game series with the Red Sox at 7:05 p.m. PT at PETCO Park. Chris Young (6-3, 2.26 ERA) gets the start for the Padres, his first since he was ejected last Saturday against the Cubs in Chicago. The Red Sox will counter with Tim Wakefield (7-7, 4.18 ERA). The series concludes on Sunday.

V = Vf - (Vf - Vi)e^(-t/r)

After solving the system (3 V's and 3 t's), I got an equation in the form above, and couldn't solve it.

In 1959, physicist Richard Feynman presented an
amazing talk entitled There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom, in which he proposed making very small circuits out of molecules. More than forty years later, people are starting to realize his vision. Thanks to Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) probes and "self-assembly" fabrication techniques, it is now possible to connect electrodes to a molecule and measure its conductance. In 2004, Mark Hersam et al. reported the first experimental measurement of a molecular resonant tunneling device on silicon. This new field of Molecular
Electronics may someday provide the means to miniaturize circuits beyond the limits of silicon, keeping Moore's Law in force for many years to come.

|Summitted in a little less than four hours. Lots of ice on the trails, but mixed conditions. Mostly ice up higher, but still lots of patches of rock. I brought MSR snow shoes and used them for traction, but wish that I would have brought crampons (probably steel, due to the mixed conditions) instead. What would have been perfect is those springy "crampons" they sell for shoveling your driveway.
1-2 feet of somewhat packed snow up higher. Had a nice hard sun/wind crust in the early morning, but softened up later.
Leaves have mostly changed/fallen off. It looks like I missed the beautiful fall colors by about a week. Some nice yellow aspen leaves down low, but everything was brown or gone higher up.
Ran into a surprising number of people. I didn't expect there to be so many this time of year. No one else who summitted had crampons, snow shoes, or ice ax, but there were frozen crampon tracks in the snow.
Really windy and pretty cold on top.

"Slaughtered" is a good example. US soldiers "slaughtered" someone and, therefore, (as the unspoken assumption goes) since "slaughtering" is evil and bad, then the US soldiers are evil and bad.
Replacing "slaughtered" with "killed" removes some (but not all) of the emotive nature of the word. There was a lovely little book called "Straight and Crooked Thinking" (now sadly out of print) which exposed this and similar fallacies. (confusion of "some", "many" and "all", for instance, and argument in a circle)
So I agree that precise terminology in debate is fundamental.
Even so, I think it's bloody annoying trying to argue with someone who has no problems coming out with "it depends on what your definition of "is" is".

Headley sits with mild biceps strain
By Corey Brock / MLB.com
SAN DIEGO -- Third baseman Chase Headley was out of the Padres' lineup Wednesday with what manager Bud Black termed a mild right biceps strain.
Headley, who is hitting .160 through 50 at-bats this season, suffered the strain hitting in the batting cage before Tuesday's game against the Rockies.
"It bothered him as the day went on and bothered him after the game and then again this morning," Black said. "Hopefully he responds well to treatment and gets back out there."
Alexi Amarista made the start at third base against the Rockies on Wednesday night.
When Headley returns to the lineup, Black is hoping to see more production. The same could be said for Headley.
"There's no doubt he's got to start getting his good at-bats," Black said.
Durability has been one of Headley's biggest strengths during his time in San Diego. He has played in 141 or more games in four of the past five seasons.
"It's something I try to take pride in. I have been fortunate to avoid the big injury, but I would also like to think the way I take care of my body and prepare in the offseason and how I maintain my body in-season has something to do with that as well," Headley said at the end of Spring Training.
"There's something to be said for the guys who run out there when they don't feel 100 percent and still give everything they have."
Alonso fields grounders at third base just in case
SAN DIEGO -- With Chase Headley nursing a mild strain of his right biceps, and with the Padres short on options at third base, first baseman Yonder Alonso crossed the diamond during batting practice prior to the game Wednesday against the Rockies.
Alonso took ground balls three hours before the game under the watchful eye of manager Bud Black and others.
Consider it insurance in case the team gets in a bind and needs someone to man the hot corner in a pinch.
"We've got a third baseman who is day to day with a biceps strain, and if something happens tonight, we might need someone to go over there," Black said. "[Alonso] has got good hands and a good arm. We're going to look at it a little."
Alonso has appeared in two games at third base during his Major League career -- with the Reds in 2011 and once with the Padres last season.
Alonso isn't a complete stranger to the position. He played it a lot as a youth and moved over to first base at the University of Miami because Ryan Braun played third base.
Everth back after night off to rest sore knee
SAN DIEGO -- The Padres got a scare late Monday when shortstop Everth Cabrera tweaked his right knee in a victory over the Rockies.
Cabrera was a late scratch Tuesday with soreness in the knee, which even he said scared him a little bit.
But Cabrera, who has been the team's most productive offensive player, was back in the lineup for the third meeting of a four-game series against the Rockies.
"It was good to get his name in the lineup again," said Padres manager Bud Black.
Cabrera suffered the injury when he made a spectacular catch of a Carlos Gonzalez line drive Monday, though it wasn't on the catch. It was when Cabrera quickly scrambled to his feet and planted for a throw to first base as he attempted to double up the baserunner, Charlie Blackmon.
"We said it was day to day, and we felt as though he's good enough to go," Black said. "It's still a little sore but he's playable."
Alexi Amarista got the start at shortstop in Cabrera's absence Tuesday.
Going into Wednesday's game, Cabrera leads the team in hits (18), doubles (six), runs (seven) and batting average (.340).
Worth noting
• Outfielder Carlos Quentin, on the disabled list with a bone bruise in his left knee, was out on the field for batting practice again Wednesday. Quentin hit with the early group, played long toss in the outfield during batting practice and "moved around" as manager Bud Black said.
"He's getting close to more baseball activity on the field," Black said.
When asked if Quentin might be ready for a Minor League injury rehab stint by the weekend, Black said that wouldn't be likely.

Myler guides Saints to victory
Stephen Myler kicked five penalties as Northampton made it three wins out of three in the Aviva Premiership by beating Bath 18-14.
But their second away win of the campaign was achieved at the cost of a nasty looking ankle injury to England's Ben Foden in the second half. His replacement, Tom May, wrapped things up with a drop goal four minutes from time.
The only try of the game came after just 70 seconds through Nick Abendanon but Bath were again reliant on the goal-kicking of Olly Barkley, who landed three penalties.
There were only two changes in the home line-up, Paul James coming in at loosehead prop and youngster Ben Williams replacing the injured Matt Banahan at inside centre. Myler was preferred to Ryan Lamb at fly-half for Northampton, while Luther Burrell came into the back line and Tom Mercey joined the front row.
Saints were caught cold after barely a minute. Dan Hipkiss set up a ruck and Bath opened up the blindside for Tom Biggs to slip a deft grubber into the path of Abendanon who scored unopposed in the corner. Barkley was wide with the conversion, his first miss from 15 kicks this season.
A driving maul from the line-out forced a penalty which allowed Myler to kick for Saints on seven minutes but the fly-half's sliced clearance from the restart was not so composed. Bath again used Hipkiss to take the ball up and Barkley slotted the resulting penalty.
Myler again narrowed the deficit to two points with a 35-metre kick on the quarter hour and put his side ahead for the first time with a 21st minute penalty after Ben Skirving infringed at a ruck. Yet another ruck offence by the home team just before the break was punished by Myler with his fourth penalty.
In the second half, Myler added a fifth penalty for a scrum offence but that was quickly cancelled out by Barkley's boot at the other end. When the Saints scrum folded again under pressure from the Bath eight, Barkley was on target from 45 metres on the hour to pull the home side back to 15-14 down.
Barkley missed a chance to regain the lead for bath, while Saints, who has lost Foden to an ankle injury following a man-and-ball tackle by Biggs, nearly grabbed a try when Barkley's clearance was charged down by Samu Manoa, who regathered to feed Tom Wood but the Bath defence scrambled back to deny the England flanker a try.
May then extended the lead to four points with a drop goal, leaving Bath four minutes to find a try to sneak victory but Saints held on and the home side had to be content with a losing bonus point.
