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.

In this Sept. 1, 2007 file photo Pittsburgh coach Dave Wannstedt, center, watches as the offense plays against Eastern Michigan in a football game in Pittsburgh. Pitt has waited through a recruiting season, spring football and, now, summer camp to build off a 13-9 victory over the then-No. 2 Mountaineers on Dec. 1 2007, that was largely responsible for the Panthers' first preseason Top 25 ranking since Wannstedt's first season in 2005.
Pittsburgh head coach Dave Wannstedt holds his head while on the sidelines of the football game against Grambling State in Pittsburgh, in this Sept. 8, 2007 file photo. Nearly three years after inheriting a team that reached the Bowl Championship Series from Walt Harris, coach Dave Wannstedt's Panthers (2-2) are looking more like a bottom-of-the-Big-East team than a Top 25 contender.
In this Aug. 30, 2008 file photo, Pittsburgh's head coach Dave Wannstedt appears on the sideline during the third quarter of 27-17 loss to Bowling Green in a college football game in Pittsburgh. Only one game into the season, Pitt's coach already is dealing with what has become a worrisome problem during his four years at the school: an underachieving performance against a team the Panthers should have beaten.
