...Myspace—it’s the future,” says Guster drummer Brian Rosenworcel. It’s a strange prospect for a band whose past consisted of selling demo tapes out of guitar cases during sidewalk performances in Harvard Square.

...Israeli leaders, meanwhile, along with their most vocal supporters on Capitol Hill, are alarmed both at the prospect of a U.S. diplomatic dance with Iran and Syria, and by the ISG's assertion that prospects for success in Iraq and elsewhere in the region depend on Washington's ability to revive the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, commenting on the report Thursday, told reporters: "The attempt to create linkage between the Iraqi issue and the Mideast issue - we have a different view...
