Israel is formerly a senior Commerce Department official appointed by President Bush in July 2005 who previously worked for Time Warner's public policy arm (Warner Bros.

Rick Boucher, no fan of the RIAA, on whether Congress will change the law, an analysis of why U.S. copyright law is broken, and four reasons why the RIAA won."

Feed Science Daily: Beyond Mesopotamia: A New View Of The Dawn Of Civilization (sciencedaily.com)

From feed by sdfeed on Friday August 03, 2007 @12:12AM

A radically expanded view of the origin of civilization, extending far beyond Mesopotamia is being proposed. Mesopotamia is widely believed to be the cradle of civilization, but a growing body of evidence suggests that in addition to Mesopotamia, many civilized urban areas existed at the same time -- about 5,000 years ago -- in an arc that extended from Mesopotamia east for thousands of kilometers across to the areas of modern India and Pakistan,
