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 Darren Collison
Something's Bruin . . . Dynamic playmaker Darren Collison and UCLA are our pick to win the Pac-10.
was said
In this age of instant gratification ... all these guys want to start, want to play. ... We wish they could all be like Darren Collison and wait a year for their turn.
said Tim Floyd
The 19-year-old UCLA freshman center, already Pacific 10 Conference player of the year and first-team All-American, has also become a plain-speaking locker room leader unafraid to criticize veteran teammates for fouling out (Darren Collison) or not passing enough (Josh Shipp). He has even offered Coach Ben Howland advice (more touches, coach, give me more touches).

He made UCLA guard Darren Collison look really average, and he's a really special guy. [Rose] is the only guy where I'd say it's 1-on-2, 1-on-1 then one on none.

He said, somebody's telling me, we're an overachieving team, that Darren (Collison) and I are the only good players on the team and that we don't have that much talent ... But, in our defense, he also picked Pittsburgh to win the tournament. I respect him a lot. He's been around the game a long time. He has what, over 900 wins, something like that. But he's an analyst. That's what he's paid to do. I kinda disagree. We're out here on the West Coast. He's more of an East Coast, Southern guy. We're not paying any attention to that.
said Kevin Love
That was vintage Darren Collison ... Driving down the lane, going right, high off the glass, kissing it in. The second one was really a blessing because that thing kind of rolled in.
said Ben Howland
I think it is the best team we've had since I've been here ... primarily because we have experienced players. Lorenzo Mata-Real, Josh Shipp, Darren Collison, Alfred Aboya, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, Mike Roll, guys who have been in back-to-back Final Fours, won back-to-back Pac-10 championships, all that experience is a huge advantage over the previous two years. The more experience the better, especially when it's positive experience.
