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.

Military officers watch a fireworks display in celebration of Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej's birthday outside the Royal Palace in Bangkok on December 5, 2008. Thailand marked the king's birthday on Friday in a solemn mood, concerned for the health of the ageing monarch and worried as well over the country's debilitating political deadlock. King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who turned 81 on December 5, failed to deliver his annual birthday eve address at a time when many Thais had been looking to him to issue a call for unity after protests by People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) activists shut down Bangkok's main airport for a week.

I like the way our rotation sets up right now, at the top of our rotation -- especially with the emergence of Brett [Myers] ... You can't have enough pitching, but I have a feeling what CC's asking for may be a little north of where we want to go. We have to keep our core intact. Bringing a guy like CC in may be difficult, putting that percentage of his salary on our payroll.

I'm happy for Charlie Manuel because he was scrutinized and appeared headed to losing his job two years ago, and in a tough city, he fought it off and went head to head with Brett Myers and benched Jimmy Rollins; he did what he thought was the right thing and gained respect to let people know who was in charge without pounding his chest.

Another interesting alternative would be Brett Myers for Ordonez - Myers really wants to be a closer and is owed $12mil but for one year. Not sure Im ready to give up our #2 after his 2nd half last year but..

We like Cole [Hamels] leading off and Brett [Myers] pitching behind him. And I know all the numbers of Brett at home and Brett on the road. But I think Brett is very capable of pitching a real good ballgame in this stadium. And we didn't want other guys sitting around longer and moving it around. We just won two series with these guys, and we feel good about any guy that we are sending out there.
