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 from articles mentioning Micron Technology, Inc.
The industry is ripe for it, but we have to be careful not to risk our own company in taking something on ... The cost of acquiring the company isn't the real cost. It's the cost of dealing with their debt or ongoing lack of cash flow.
said Steve Appleton
We continue to run DRAM on 200 millimeter and will into the foreseeable future ... Those products - we call them specialized - are probably our most profitable. At some point that will have to transition to 300 millimeter, but any recovery in the memory market will extend the life of that (200 mm production).
said Steve Appleton
Sometime in the future Micron will have to follow suit ... But for the time being, the Hynix shutdowns put them in a good position as a source for these legacy DRAM products for the next year, maybe two.
