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.

At the Sun Microsystems campus in Menlo Park, CA., rock legend Neil Young shows James Gosling, the father of Java technology, the Linc Volt - a classic 1959 Lincoln Continental Mk IV re-powered with a new series-hybrid system that runs on electricity produced by a natural gas generator. For the past 14 months, Young has been working on Linc Volt (http://www.lincvolt.com/), his entry into the X Automotive PRIZE (http://www.progressiveautoxprize. org/). The Linc Volt features installed sensors, which are powered by Java technology from Sun Microsystems, that monitor the performance of the Linc Volt and display the data on a touch-screen panel in the car. Visit http://java.com to learn more on how Java technology is helping to revolutionize the way we look at cars through the Linc Volt project.
