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.

A small drawing by Albert Einstein is held by a worker, which is to be auctioned by Christie's in London, seen Tuesday June 26, 2007. The drawing by Einstein, theoretical physicist who is best known for his theory of relativity, is part of a collection of some 570 handwritten historic letters which will be sold July 3, at Christie's.
In this undated image made available by Bloomsbury Auctions in London Tuesday May 13, 2008, a letter by Albert Einstein outlining his views on God and religion is seen. The handwritten letter is being sold on Thursday and is expected to fetch from 6,000 to 8,000 pounds (US$12,000 to US$16,000; euro7,500 to euro10,000).

Eric S. Maskin, left, one of three to win the Nobel prize in economics, is greeted by an unidentified friend outside his home in Princeton, N.J., Monday, Oct. 15, 2007.

Keio University Professor Masaru Tomita, who heads the team of bacteria-encoding researchers, speaks about his study to use bacteria as a data storage medium at his laboratory in Fujisawa, west of Tokyo, Friday, April 20, 2007. Ink may fade, computers may crash, chips and disks may break _ but not the lowly bacteria, which reproduce and live for years, remembering data tucked away in their genetic coding. Tomita's team succeeded in inserting in a common bacterium Albert Einstein's "E equals MC squared" theory of relativity and "1905," the year the Nobel Prize-winning physicist came up with the discovery.
