- Cheap beers are helping to keep breweries afloat in difficult economic times. Brews such as Busch, Miller High Life and Pabst Blue Ribbon and other "economy brews" have seen a serious spike in sales. Sales fell 1.4 percent for "premium beers," which account for about half of the industry's sales include -- surprisingly enough -- Bud Light and Miller Lite.
- An exhibition showing dead bodies having sex has caused an uproar.

The security provider came under fire because of a September 2007 shooting involving Blackwater security guards that left 17 Iraqi civilians dead. A new Virginia-based company will take over duties in Baghdad.
