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.

Quotes about Chicago Bulls
There's a certain way to win. I have a certain style I like to see my teams play, so it's something we emphasize. I have to (nit-pick), that's what coaching is all about. He recalled several issues regarding his 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, who won a league-record 72 games en route to one of their six NBA titles in the 1990s. Luc Longley couldn't run the court
said Phil Jackson
We try to work on fundamentals, ball-handling, shooting and footwork drills all the time. Our guys might think they’re remedial, but I remember watching the [Chicago] Bulls when they were really good and they did more fundamental footwork drills than any team I’ve seen ... When you’re a good athlete, when you refine your athleticism with basketball skills, it’s amazing what you can do on the court. That’s the work in progress we have with these guys. We need to turn athletes into basketball players.
said Kevin McKenna
Starting a true floor leader could uproot fear from the Chicago Bulls’ front office and replant it abroad the East. Derrick Rose is the only handler on their roster with that kind of green thumb. Plus Memphis is currently weeding out the PGs from the OJs.

I've heard so many horror stories about this night ... The whole Miami thing - I think that's going to be the poster child for any team that wins it. 'Don't forget the Miami game on national TV with Chicago.' [The Bulls beat the defending champion Heat, 108-66, in their 2006-07 opener]. I think I heard that 30 times over the last two days from different coaches, friends, you guys. So, I'm glad that didn't happen.

The ideas were good ... I remember when Mrs. Battle, the principal, read that speech and everyone was crying, I was crying. And it was just so nice to come from you because everyone knew you had struggled with your behavior and I think people came to see you as a kid who really did want to make good choices.
