1. War not affecting auto industry, gas prices in Iraq
BAGHDAD — Business, not bombs, is booming at Baghdad car dealerships, as well-heeled Iraqis are indulging in a passion long out of reach — spiffy, new cars.
That may make Baghdad one of the few cities worldwide where the auto industry is doing relatively well — at least compared to the worst of the war, when sales were stagnant.
2. Two people found guilty of killing 17 are executed
And unlike elsewhere in the world, gas prices — about $1.52 a gallon — aren't much of a deterrent to those Iraqis eager and able to catch up with the good life behind the wheel of a new car.
BEJIING — China executed two members of a Muslim minority
on Thursday after finding the men guilty of killing 17 police. The men carried out an attack last year in the country's far west that Beijing said was an attempt to sabotage the Beijing Olympics
NAIROBI, Kenya — FBI hostage negotiators joined U.S. Navy efforts Thursday to free an American cargo ship captain held captive by Somali pirates.
3. Captain held captive by pirates to safequard crew
The pirates tried to hijack the U.S. flagged Maersk Alabama on Wednesday, but Capt. Richard Phillips thwarted their takeover by telling his crew of about 20 to lock themselves in a room, the crew told state relatives.
The crew later overpowered some of the pirates, but Phillips surrendered himself to the bandits to safeguard his crew, and at least four of them fled with him to an enclosed lifeboat, the relatives said.
NATIONAL 4. Liquid morphine on market not FDA approved
NEW YORK — The Food and Drug Administration says it has changed its mind about pulling a liquid morphine painkiller off the market.
Last week, the FDA said it was ordering that medicine off the market because they had never been government-approved. But on Thursday, FDA official Dr. Douglas Throckmorton told The Associated Press that the morphine liquid would be allowed to remain on the market.
MIAMI — A federal judge reprimanded prosecutors and ordered the U.S. government Thursday to pay a defendant more than $600,000, saying members of the man's defense team had been secretly recorded in a questionable
5. Man paid $600,000;

witness-tampering investigation.
In a strongly worded opinion, U.S. District Judge Alan S. Gold said three prosecutors and a Drug Enforcement Administration agent acted "in bad faith" in the case of Dr. Ali Shaygan, who was acquitted in March of 141 counts of illegally prescribing painkillers.
6. E. coli outbreak causes one death, many illnesses
OKLAHOMA CITY — An extensive investigation has failed to determine how E. coli bacteria was introduced into a northeastern Oklahoma restaurant linked to hundreds of illnesses and one death, the state health board said in a report.
But the report said that since no specimen of the bacteria was found in the restaurant, investigators couldn't determine how it was introduced or spread.

Cuisine Critique
Students' view on the food BY ANDREW ROGERS

Price range: $5-$10
Sounds like a beer without the buzz.' But what I didn't know is that at Local Burger, you don't need the grease and unhealthy ingredients that normally come along with the All-American meal. They do organic right.
Type of Restaurant: American, Organic
Overall star rating: 5 out of 5
Signature Burger Grass-fed Only
Beef Burger $6, Veggie Burger $6
Tastes like: Backyard Burger, but better
Price range:
What I ate: Grass-fed Only Buffalo Burger (with real cheddar cheese) $7, Sweet Potato Fries $2.75, Cup of Buffalo Chili $3.75, Grilled Cheddar Cheese Sandwich $4
Local Burger serves meals with all local ingredients, taking pride in letting customers know that a tasty burger doesn't have to be unhealthy. All the meat, veggies, and other good stuff are homegrown or locally raised. The buffalo meat is from right here in Lawrence, the beef from Baldwin City. Any thought that these burgers might be bland or tired, like other organic food, is forgotten when you bite into it. It is a wonderful mix between the homemade grill and the fast-food
Review: Someone may be skeptical of a healthy burger. I sure was. I thought, 'A healthy burger?'

They serve plenty of other dishes, too. I tried the grilled cheese and it was simple but unbelievable.
And the Buffalo Chili, it stands alone as possibly the best in Lawrence. Regardless of what you order, you know that you are eating healthier, and that in itself is a different feeling; a new experience.
