He is Shoaib Akhtar, “the Rawalpindi Express“, the fastest recorded bowler of a cric
6、ket ball in history. And right now, before a small but baying crowd at the Rawalpindi Cricket Ground, he is steaming towards this correspondent. From 22 yards, Mr. Akhtar launches into the weirdly beautiful contortion that fast bowlers perform to hurl a six-ounce lump of cork and leather at up to 10
7、0mph. Half a second later, the ball demolishes the stumps. For over two centuries, cricket has been played according to a largely unwritten code of honour for the practical reason that its laws are too complicated for officials to enforce to the reality. But technology has been rewriting the old eti
8、quette. And according to some recent research, one of crickets most basic laws is untenable, and now the game is in turmoil. According to law 24. 3, bowlers may not straighten their arm in the final act of delivering the ball. This leads to Mr. Akhtars brutal run-up and elaborate action as alternati
9、ve means of generating pace on the ball. The centrality of law 24.3 to cricket and the virtual impossibility of policing it is reflected in the games etiquette. To accuse a bowler of throwing the ball is one of the gravest insults in the game; yet now such accusations are flying thick and fast. Mr.
10、Akhtar, the first man to bowl a delivery timed at 100mph, is one of a number of modern stars recently reported with “suspect actions“. These rulings followed research into biomechanics that match officials had hoped would vindicate their decision. The University of Western Australias School of Human
11、 Movement has been investigating cricket biomechanics. In 2003, a study by Marc Portus, at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra, filmed a number of fast bowlers in action using a dozen cameras recording 250 frames per second. They showed that virtually all bowlers straighten their arm, or t
12、hrow, to some extent. Mr. Akhtar flexes his arm more than most only because he is extremely double-jointed. And to confuse matters further, a brilliant Sri Lankan spin bowler, Muttiah Muralitharan bowls with a crooked arm only because a congenital condition prevents him straightening it fully. In an
13、 effort to restore sanity to matters, bowlers are now allowed a varying margin for error depending on the pace at which they bowl. Thus, fast bowlers are legally allowed to straighten their arm by 10, medium pacers by 7.5 and slow bowlers by 5. But even this innovation has been rapidly undone. Last
14、month, for the third time in his illustrious career, and even though poised to break the all-time wicket-taking record, Mr. Muralitharan was reported with a suspect action. Though Mr. Muralitharan was previously cleared by biomechanics, an English match official questioned the legality of a wicked a
15、ddition to his armoury of top-spinners, off-spinners and leg-spinners. It is nicknamed the “doosra“, which in Hindi or Urdu means “second“ or “other“. Here the ball is delivered with a huge flick of Mr. Muralitharans rubbery wrists and, according to many observers, a flexing of his elbow. Subsequent
16、 testing showed that Mr. Muralitharan flexes his arm by more than 10 when bowling the doosra, and the delivery could be banned. Sri Lanka, where Mr. Muralitharan is revered, is now seething while many Australians, who have long reviled him as a “chucker“, are crowing. Should they pause for air, they
17、 would hear their own scientists cry foul. Last week, the scientists who tested Mr. Muralitharan admitted that they actually did not know much about the mechanics of spin bowling, and that he should receive no censure. When it comes to cricket, science may be stumped. （分数：1.05）(1).From 22 yards, Mr.

In Chi
23、na, South Korea, India, Brazil and other countries, governments are promoting the use of such software which, unlike the proprietary kind, allows users to inspect, modify and freely redistribute its underlying programming instructions. The open-source approach has a number of attractions. Adopting o
24、pen-source software can reduce costs, allay security concerns and ensure there is no danger of becoming too dependent on a foreign supplier. But there is another benefit, too; because it can be freely modified, open-source software is also easier to translate, or localise, for use in a particular la
25、nguage. This involves translating the menus, dialogue boxes, help files, templates and message strings to create a new version of the software. Large software vendors have little incentive to support any but the most widely spoken languages. Microsoft, for example, provides its Windows 2000 operatin
26、g system in 24 languages, and Windows XP in 33. The company also supports over 20 languages in the latest version of its Office software suite. Yet for many languages, commercial vendors conclude that producing a localised product is not economically viable. The programmers who produce open-source s
27、oftware operate by different rules, however. The leading desktop interfaces for the open-source Linux operating system KDE and GNOME-are, between them, available in more than twice as many languages as Windows. KDE has already been localised for 42 languages, with a further 46 in the pipeline. Simil
28、arly, Mozilla, an open-source web browser, now speaks 65 languages, with 34 more to follow. Open Office, the leading open-source office suite, is available in 31 languages, including Slovenian, Basque and Galician, and Indian languages such as Gujarati, Devanagari, Kannada and Malayalam. And another
29、 44 languages including Icelandic, Lao, Latvian, Welsh and Yiddish are on the way. Localising software is a tedious job, but some people are passionate enough about it to resort to unusual measures. The Hungarian translation of Open Office was going too slowly for Janos Noll, founder of the Hungaria
30、n Foundation for Free Software. So he built some web-based tools to distribute the workload and threw a pizza party in the computer room at the Technical University of Budapest. Over a dozen people worked locally, with about 100 Hungarians submitting work remotely over the web. Most of the work tran
31、slating over 21,000 text strings was completed in three days. Dwayne Bailey of translate, org. za, an open-source translation project based in South Africa, says localising open-source programs into Zulu, Xhosa, Venda, Sesotho and other African languages makes computers more accessible. With transla
32、ted software, “these languages are suddenly players in the modern world.“ Neville Alexander, a former South African freedom-fighter, agrees. “An English-only or even an English-mainly policy necessarily condemns most people, and thus the country as a whole, to a permanent state of mediocrity, since
33、people are unable to be spontaneous, creative and self-confident if they cannot use their first language,“ he says. A similar approach is being taken in India, where there are 18 official languages and over 1,000 regional dialects. Shikha Pillai is one of the leaders of a team in Bangalore that is t
34、ranslating open-source software, including Open Office, into ten Indian dialects. She, too, feels that introducing Indian languages will help to foster a far deeper penetration of information technology. “Localisation makes IT accessible to common people,“ she says. “And Indian-language enabled soft
35、ware could revolutionise the way our communications work; even the way computers are used in India.“ In May, Thailands government launched a subsidised “peoples PC“ that runs LinuxTLE, a Thai-language version of Linux. In September, Japan said it would join a project established by China and South K

The forecast came in the UN food agencys Food Outlook, a publication of the Global
41、Information and Early Warning System. Closing inventories are expected to be down by 89 million tonnes, or 18 percent from their opening levels. The anticipated sharp decline in cereal stocks from the previous season would be mainly due to China, although substantial reductions are also anticipated
42、in India, Russia, Ukraine and the European Union, mostly driven by the reductions in their 2003 cereal production, says the report. B However, the report says world cereal production in 2004 is forecast to increase to 2,130 million tonnes, some 2 percent up on last year and 3 percent above the avera
43、ge of the past five years and that could help alleviate the tight global supply situation in the new 2004/2005 season. The bulk of the cereals increase is expected in wheat, although rice output is also seen to rise significantly. By contrast, coarse grains production could decrease marginally. The
44、report emphasizes, however, that this first forecast, especially for rice and coarse grains, is tentative and assumes normal weather conditions. According to the report, “The increase in global cereal output forecast for 2004 would come as a very welcome development for global food supply. The conti
45、nued tightening of global cereal supplies for four successive years since 1999/2000 has brought international cereal prices under significant upward pressure in the past months. “ The report says, “Export prices for wheat, maize and rice all registered strong gains, reflecting tight market condition
46、s. “ Because early prospects for wheat crops are favourable, some easing of wheat prices could be anticipated as the harvest approaches in the northern hemisphere in the coming months. But, the report says that export prices for coarse grains and rice are unlikely to recede any time soon based on current supply and demand prospects. C World cereal utilization in 2003/2004 is forecast at 1,971 million ton
