BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

New Advanced Micro Devices CEO Dirk Meyer speaks at an financial analysts meeting at company headquarters in Sunnyvale, Calif., Thursday, Nov. 13, 2008. Many of the problems facing AMD are of its own making. But the limited choices the chip maker has for solving its troubles are symptoms of an affliction sweeping through Silicon Valley. Slumping sales, big layoffs and devastated stock prices are becoming the norm, resurrecting memories of the malaise that gripped the Valley for years after the dot-com meltdown in 2000.

This photo provided by Advanced Micro Devices shows a 45 nanometer Enhanced Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor Die. AMD's new Opteron processors are AMD's first chips based on 45-nanometer manufacturing technology. That means the company has shrunken the tiny parts of the circuits to an average of 45 nanometers wide, or 45 billionths of a meter. Smaller circuitry means the chips are cheaper to make and can hold more transistors, which boosts performance.
