...response to these concerns, David Hancock, the project manager for redevelopment, proposed a new architectural plan for the complex. The redesign included a reduction in building heights throughout the sites, but it increased the number of plots that will ultimately serve as sites for the apartment units. The new plan also included more retail space along Western Ave., and it decreases the amount of parking available near housing units...
...David Gilinski, an Israeli soldier who patrols the border area near Israel's Ketsiot camp, where refugees are held for several months after entering the country, says the shooting is routine. "Our job at the border is to prevent illegal arms and drugs entering Israel, but most of the time we end up dealing with refugees, even though that's not the army's job," he tells TIME. "During heated periods, we hear shots fired three, four times per week," Gilinski says. "Out of groups of maybe 10, only one or two get through the border. The others are shot...
...Sarkozy's oratorical histrionics are becoming a regular occurrence. But the French President isn't the only European David ready to stand up to the Internet Goliath and its formidable archiving project.

The complaint against Headley claims that he was that source. If true, it opens a window into how the global jihadi network...
...Chicago resident's alleged involvement with the radical Pakistani Islamist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) began nearly three years before the Mumbai attacks. In late 2005 he was told by his handlers to travel to India to do surveillance, so he changed his name in February 2006 to David Headley "in order to present himself in India as an American who was neither Muslim nor Pakistani," according to the complaint filed in U.S. district court in Chicago. He allegedly made the first of several trips to India in September 2006, using the cover of working for an immigration agency...
