Collingwood chosen to lead one-day side

Because of the fielding restrictions associated with them (the International Cricket Council could ratify a proposal to allow a third fielder outside the circle for the second and third powerplays in the next few days), they are periods that entice batsmen into a sub-plot of risk and reward hitting. It is a trade-off that England have rarely been able or willing to exploit – until now. But who are the home-grown Sanath Jayasuriyas and Adam Gilchrists the selectors have in mind? And can those players press their international credentials on English pitches that, like the one on which Essex played Durham in the Friends Provident semi-final two days ago, favour stonewallers to strikers. Surrey’s Alistair Brown heads the strike-rate league in the Friends Provident Trophy with an incredible 152 runs scored per 100 balls faced, but he is 37 and will not be around for the next World Cup in 2011. Secondly, he has been cast before in the role of pinch-hitter and, in a cautionary tale, promptly cast aside when he failed. Remarkably there are six wicketkeepers, excluding Matt Prior, riding high in the strike-rates, but Prior deserves his chance to make both jobs his own. He could even open the innings for England, probably with Alastair Cook, something tried with scant success in the past, though that was before his confidence reached its current dam-busting level.
Young sprouts

Once the flowers start to form, water generously and regularly, adding a balanced liquid feed every fortnight. If your plants are targeted by blackfly, get your child to help dispatch the critters by squirting them with a water pistol. To convert youngsters to the joys of fresh, home-grown food, start harvesting runner and French beans while they are still young and tender, and continue picking regularly. Show your child how to snap the pods off cleanly, without damaging the rest of the plant, and how to prepare and cook them. Children are particularly intrigued by the clever in-built timer that causes purple beans to turn dark green when they are cooked. Borlotti and other varieties that are grown for their dried seeds should be left on the plant until the pods have become leathery and the seeds can be heard to rattle inside the pods. As well as looking ornamental there will be something left for your child to pick after the holidays, even if the plants go without water while you are away.
Helping the web become world wide
BBC News – Jun 22, 2007
“Google means nothing in the Chinese language,” he said, “but Baidu does mean something in Chinese characters. ”
Analysis of who uses Google in China shows if people can spell it they use it. But, he said, the vast majority who can’t spell it use the home-grown Baidu. The success of China’s work on international domains has prompted South Korea and many Arabic nations to push on with their own projects to create native language domains. Travelling text
International domain names are all about helping one nation’s citizens get more out of the web. The flipside of this, and potentially more important goal, is translating what people are saying to make the web a universal medium. “The great thing about the internet is that it is a great leveller,” said Dr Chris Boorman of translation firm SDL.

xiii + 222, acknowledgments, 29 photographs and illustrations, bibliography, index. ) The precipitous speed of social change in the United States at the turn of the twentieth century rattled Americans of all classes, races, and walks of life. In Atlanta, as Gavin James Campbell explains in his engaging Music and the Making of the New South, citizens coped with their uneasiness in part through their engagement with and their varying responses to three major annual musical events: visits by the New York Metropolitan Opera, the home-grown Colored Music Festival, and the Georgia Old-Time Fiddlers’ Convention.
