...Microsoft is no longer considered a growth stock by Wall St., but it remains one of the most impressive corporate cash flow machines in the world. Microsoft's ongoing battle with Google (GOOG) over search and desktop software keeps it in the headlines regularly, and its quest to get control of Yahoo!'s (YHOO) search engine operation has gone on for a year.

Iraqi security forces, with help from U.S. troops, now largely control areas that were once virtually untouchable militia havens such as Sadr City in Baghdad and the port city of Basra in the south of Iraq. The Mahdi Army dispatched gunmen nightly during the height of the sectarian violence.
