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.

We looked at the most-subscribed channels when selecting our performers ... Like Fred (Figglehorn), for example. He's this 17-year-old kid who has a massive following. On the other hand, you have people like Katy Perry, who has her own channel on YouTube where she actually interacts with people. 
Danny worked his butt off. He made a lot of progress and we're not looking back now. We have a real good foundation and there's sure not many people who thought we'd be here, especially when we lost Jason Tucker, Dan Comiskey and Fred Perry to the nine-game injury list at the start of the season.
Fred Perry was a great player, Tim Henman was also a great player. He was around at the top of tennis for 12 years or so and did great in all the grand slams
The fact that guys like (Dario) Romero, (Jim) Davis and (Fred) Perry weren't there. We definitely felt the effects of that, but we needed to find out what these other guys can do
There is no way we can keep Warner, Brown, Braidwood, (Fred) Perry and Romero on the roster
Tennis is one of the most dynamic sports on earth ... The top players use every part of their minds as well as their bodies and they are fitter, faster, and stronger now than ever before. Today's players are in a league of their own compared to the likes of Fred Perry in the 1930s so, with sports science leading the way, it is very possible that a player such as this will be around in the next 50 years.
We try to keep a local flavor with it ... We have such a big break (from school), we thought maybe we could get some local rivalries going again. It promotes local basketball in the area.
We kind of wanted to do something to promote girls' basketball in the area. The way the guys do it is really nice ... A lot of local schools liked the idea, so we tried to expand it.
