Prince William landed a Royal Air Force helicopter in the garden of the parents of his girlfriend Kate Middleton but the Ministry of Defence defended his actions, saying he achieved essential training objectives. The 25-year-old William, who is second in line to the throne, asked permission from his girlfriend's parents to land at their Berkshire home due to a shortage of landing slots in Hampshire.
While aviation analyst and RAF-trained pilot Jon Lake said the April 3 flight was "ridiculous and inappropriate", the Ministry said the two-hour training mission was fully authorised as part of William's four-month RAF attachment. "Battlefield helicopter crews routinely practice landing in fields and confined spaces away from their airfields as a vital part of their training for operations," it said.
"These highly honed skills are used daily in conflict zones such as Iraq." The MoD said helicopter bases continually sought permission from land owners
to use their fields and that there were in fact only two fields permanently available in Hampshire. "Opportunities to use alternatives are therefore regularly seized. The aircraft landed in the field, after taking all necessary safety precautions, and was on the ground for 20 seconds. No one got on or off the aircraft. This was very much a routine training sortie that achieved essential training objectives," it said.
William, the fourth successive generation of the monarchy to become an RAF pilot, received his wings from his father Prince Charles on April 11 in a ceremony watched by Middleton. Known as Flying Officer William Wales, he is due to start an attachment to the Royal Navy in June.
William broke up with his long-time girlfriend in April last year but they now appear to be firmly back together, sparking feverish speculationA about marriage plans.

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) June 27, 2011
Today at the International Society for Technology in Education's (ISTE) annual conference in Philadelphia, the education services and technology company Pearson announced that its digital K-8 program for mathematics and reading, SuccessMaker, will be available online. Ready for the 2011-2012 school year, school districts nationwide will implement SuccessMaker on the internet with Pearson hosting the digital content and student data, and delivering the information online to schools.
SuccessMaker's online deployment is a cost-effective, new option for delivering personalized digital instruction given today's growing hardware and school staffing constraints. Online delivery of SuccessMaker also can help teachers and schools extend the learning day beyond classroom walls.
For schools, the Pearson-hosted web deployment option increases flexibility by: enabling the scaling and modification of class implementations more easily, simplifying setup processes; and providing a Pearson-managed backup and disaster recovery system. And, costs can be reduced since no additional software or hardware is required for purchase or installation.
"With belt-tightening pervasive across the country, we believe the online delivery option for SuccessMaker can help keep costs down for school districts and still offer students the latest in a proven education technology that focuses on the needs of the individual learner," said Chris Dragon, newly named president of Pearson Digital Learning. "Our award-winning SuccessMaker program personalizes instruction, matches the latest in educational standards -- including the Common Core State Standards - and now improves the overall digital learning experience for our teachers and students by offering more flexibility for anytime, always learning."
Additionally, the latest version of SuccessMaker will boost educators' ability to make data-driven decisions and ease system management for teachers and schools.
SuccessMaker advances student learning with a new Spanish language glossary to improve support for English Language Learners, additional spelling and grammar lessons, added reading passages that deliver expanded science and social studies content, and content aligned to the Common Core State Standards.
Leigh Byron, Head of School at Village Charter School in New Jersey, said, "I am continually impressed with the power of SuccessMaker. It has greatly improved students' academic performance. It has become a part of our culture, and its reporting features have changed the way we analyze data and differentiate instruction."
Designed to accommodate a full array of different learning styles -- including those students served by special education, or who are gifted, at-risk or English language learners, SuccessMaker is a great match for many common education funds including Title I, EETT, IDEA, 21st Century Learning, Title III, Head Start and school improvement funds.
About SuccessMaker
SuccessMaker identifies and addresses individual learning needs quickly and efficiently through embedded assessments that determine each student's unique starting place and continuously analyze each student's actual performance. The program utilizes this data to automatically create a personalized path through the curriculum based on a learner's strengths and weaknesses, pinpointing specific areas of struggle, difficulty, advancement, or mastery.
Nearly three million kindergarteners through eighth-graders have logged in to SuccessMaker globally to date. For more information about SuccessMaker and the Common Core, go to http://www.successmaker.com or http://www.pearsoned.com/commoncore.
About Pearson

LONDON -- The following information was released by the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO):
Foreign Secretary William Hague talked of a "great sense of optimism" among Libyans in Benghazi in his update to Parliament on the Middle East and North Africa.
In his visit to Libya last week for talks with the National Transitional Council the Foreign Secretary said that Benghazi is functioning well under the circumstances:
"...police visible on the streets, many shops and restaurants open and food staples in good supply. We also noted a dramatic expansion of civil society groups who rightly see themselves as one of the key building blocks of a free Libya."
The Foreign Secretary talked of steps taken to intensify the military, economic and diplomatic pressure on the Qadhafi regime:
"We have increased the tempo of air strikes against regime forces. These are currently taking place at a rate of approximately 50 strike missions per day, and include the targeting of military command and control sites in Tripoli, regime tanks, artillery, rocket launchers and armoured fighting vehicles."
He went on to say that the Qadhafi regime is "isolated and on the defensive":
"Last week a number of senior military officers abandoned it, including five generals. The Head of the National Oil Corporation also recently fled Libya. On 17 May, ARABSAT joined European satellite companies in suspending Libyan State TV broadcasts, a significant blow to Qadhafi's ability to carry out psychological warfare, and we press all satellite companies to take similar action."
On Syria the Foreign Secretary said "President Assad is losing legitimacy and should "reform or step aside":
"Britain has circulated a draft UN Security Council Resolution condemning the repression in Syria and calling for the Syrian Government to meet their people's legitimate demands, release all prisoners of conscience, lift restrictions on the media and Internet and co-operate with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights"
He said that the situation in Yemen is extremely uncertain following President Saleh's departure to Saudi Arabia to receive medical treatment.
"It is of the utmost importance that all British nationals leave the country immediately by commercial means while it is still possible to do so, as we have advised them to do since 12 March. I warn again that it will be extremely unlikely that the British Government will be able to evacuate British nationals from Yemen."
On Bahrain the Foreign Secretary said:
"I welcome the lifting of the State of National Safety on 1 June and the announcement by The King of Bahrain that a comprehensive and inclusive National Dialogue will start on 1 July. Urgent dialogue on genuine political reform is the only way to address the legitimate concerns of the Bahraini people and ensure long-term stability."
Talking about the Middle East Peace Process the Foreign Secretary said that the Arab Spring underlines the importance of a breakthrough:
"This long standing conflict needs to be resolved, through negotiations, to give the Palestinian people the state that they need and deserve and the Israeli people long term security and peace. The status quo is not sustainable, nor will these populations be immune from the effects of change and instability elsewhere."
"The new Palestinian Authority should be composed of independent figures on the basis that President Abbas set out on 4 May. As was the case with the outgoing Authority, it should uphold the principle of non-violence, be committed to a negotiated two-state solution, and accept previous agreements of the PLO. Hamas will remain a proscribed terrorist organisation unless and until they abandon violence and commit to a two state solution."
"The UK will judge a future Palestinian government by its actions and its readiness to work for peace."

MISSOULA, Mont. -- The following information was released by the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Montana:
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Billings, on April 5, 2011, before Chief U.S. District Judge Richard F. Cebull, JAMES HENRY PEAVY, a 62-year-old resident of Livingston, pled guilty to possession of child pornography. Sentencing has been set for July 6, 2011. He is currently released on special conditions.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Marcia K. Hurd, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
In May of 2009, law enforcement officers received a Cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children with concerns about a MySpace page of a young girl. The officers traced the page back to PEAVY of Livingston, and they questioned him in September 2009. PEAVY admitted that he had posted the fake Myspace page pretending to be a young girl looking for sex with older men. A consent search of his computer was attempted, but the software did not operate properly. PEAVY agreed that the officers could take his computer into the lab, image it and search for child pornography images. They did so, returning the computer to PEAVY in the meantime.
A forensic examination revealed numerous items of child pornography that PEAVY had received via the Internet and saved. Agents went back to PEAVY's residence with a search warrant, and seized his computer in March 2010. Forensic examination once again revealed that PEAVY had continued accessing and saving child pornography via the Internet. When questioned, PEAVY first claimed he was attempting his own undercover investigation, but when confronted about his failure to contact law enforcement, he admitted that he looked at the images for sexual gratification. PEAVY admitted that he used the Internet to receive and possess child pornography videos and images. PEAVY possessed images and movies of children clearly prepubescent and children engaged in sadistic or masochistic abuse or other depictions of violence.
PEAVY faces possible penalties of 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and lifetime supervision.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Gallatin County Sheriff's Office, U.S. Homeland Security Investigations, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Regional Computer Forensic Lab (RCFL), and the Montana Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.

Universal Express, Inc. (OTCBB:USXP) The Coalition for Luggage Security says according to an article on msnbc.com entitled, "Lost Luggage Worsening Problem for Airlines", 14,089 bags were lost or misplaced in the month of August (2006). The article indicates banned liquids and an increase in checked bags were considered to be partially to blame for this increase.
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/15134565/ The article also states that out of every 1,000 bags transported in August, 8.08 were lost as compared to 6.5 in July, and the lose rate of 6.4 August 2005. "This is not a surprise. It's not even news anymore. It's a built in fact of life. Instead of providing travelers with an alternative to an increased chance of their bags being lost or misplaced due to constant changes in security measures, temporary or permanent, airlines, airports and governmental departments will keep doing things the way they have since baggage handling and airlines were created, but on a larger scale," said Richard Altomare, Founder and President of the Coalition for Luggage Security, and CEO of Universal Express, Inc. (OTCBB:USXP). "The Coalition offers solutions to this very problem. Give travelers the opportunity to have their possessions where they are supposed to be instead of late, lost or sold off to the general public in a store in Tennessee. The Coalitions white paper, 'More Safety, Less Hassle for American Travelers: A private sector solution', provides a plan that includes not only organization and a decrease in lost luggage but incentives to travelers, airlines, airports and our government to adopt a better, different, less archaic process.

We have several concepts and companies we are investigating for acquisition and investment. Capital Gains and Share Appreciation through Federal and State Tax Credits: Our strategic business unit Global 1 Entertainment, Inc. is preparing a slate of film projects to take advantage of section 181 and 199 of the internal revenue code film tax credits. Investors in the partnerships we create will be able to write off 100% of their investment in the partnerships as a tax credit against their federal income taxes. www.cfoyesq.com/ARTICLE%20DRAFT%201.0.htm. One hundred percent of the investment in the film fund is tax deductible against passive income by the investor. A Georgia investor will receive an additional credit of 12% against GA income taxes. This fund is available to U.S., as well as international investors. We are exploring the distribution of our funds via a broker/dealer network and Registered Investment Advisors. We expect to raise up to $100 million in these funds. The $100 million invested in the fund will generate, assuming a 40% tax bracket, $40 million in passive income tax savings at the federal level and $12,000,000 in savings at the state level. Together a total of $52 million in capital gains added back into our capital structure as an investor benefit gives our shares an additional value of $0.50 per share.
Valuation Metrics: We estimate SSSU shares to have an intrinsic value inclusion of any dividend distribution of portfolio companies of between $0.35-0.50 per share plus the tax credit benefit estimated at $0.50 per share. This value is based on the distribution of 25% of a portfolio company's shares to our shareholders and each portfolio company to trade on the OTCBB at a price of $0.05 - $0.10 per share.
NOBO List: The NOBO List, Non Objecting Beneficial Owners, will help us identify the correct and accurate shareholder base, and award the benefits to the correct parties and to protect the investment of verifiable shareholders. We expect to have the results of the complete NOBO list later this week and the short position announced to our shareholders.

SALT LAKE CITY _ It was Day 3 of "The Greatest Thing To Happen To Figure Skating Since Tonya Kneecapped Nancy," and you couldn't keep up with the press conferences without a scorecard, a translation headset and a handy atlas of global politics.
The Canadians were still madder than the last time the general store ran out of lard. The Russians were still walking around with the gold medals in the pairs competition. And NBC was so upset about the whole, sordid business you could hear the executives giggling from their penthouse suites.
"Olympic Controversy Attracting Huge Numbers!!!" was the subtle subject line on one of a series of giddy e-mails from the network, which has seen this shambling ratings nag transform into a galloping thoroughbred almost overnight.
More than 300,000 votes were recorded on the network's internet poll on the subject, breaking the record for respondents previously held by the poll on whether Bill Clinton should resign as president.
Nearly 92 percent of the devoted figure skating fans felt Jamie Sale and David Pelletier of Canada should have won the gold medal over Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze of Russia, it was breathlessly reported. The other 8 percent believed that Bill should definitely hang in there.
In the real news of the day, such as it was, the president of the International Skating Union revealed that head referee Ron Pfenning of the United States had filed a written report that questioned how the pairs event was judged. Then, the International Olympic Committee, in its own press conference, told the ski federation to resolve the dispute as quickly as possible or it would step in.
"I have an allegation, and I have a denial," Ottavio Cinquanta, the ISU boss, said. "So, we have to go on."
What we go onto, apparently, is a closed-door "internal assessment" process that will conclude Monday when the international federation's ruling council convenes to wear its festive hats and make a decision on the matter.
"The problem is how to prove it," Cinquanta said of a possible judging impropriety.
The real problem for Cinquanta was how to dodge the verbal tomatoes tossed his way during a long, contentious press conference attended by about 1,000 journalists, each of whom arrived carrying a ringing cell phone, a batch of nasty questions and an attitude.
"You are sliding around like a skater," the man from the Montreal Journal said in French, tired of trying to pin down Cinquanta. "You do not realize how this candle burns."
Cinquanta knew he was on the hot seat, however, and was definitely aware that the poor, robbed Canadians had become not only the darlings, but the dominant story of the Winter Olympics.
"We're not going to give the public the right to judge figure skating competitions," Cinquanta, who is Italian, answered in his own huffy French. "If you take advantage of the emotions of the public for each result, you have results that are not well-founded because, right now, you would have the emotions as they are in Salt Lake City and North America. ... If you made a phone call to Moscow, you would probably get a different answer."
Like, Da.
The controversy, which began when the Russians edged the Canadians Monday night despite a bobble in their long program, centers on whether judge Marie Reine Le Gougne of France swapped a favorable pairs vote for the promise of help from the Russian bloc in the upcoming ice dancing competition.
Having jumped a few journalistic fences in the process, Toronto's normally staid Globe and Mail reported Wednesday that the ice dancing outcome has already been fixed, directing trifecta players to the Italy-Russia-France combination. Canada will finish fifth in ice dancing, the paper reported as an added tip.
At their own press conference, Canadian officials indicated they would prefer the figure skating federation be investigated by someone other than the figure skating federation. Failing that _ and the suggestion will go nowhere _ the Canadians have filed an appeal of the judges' decision with the ISU. Unfortunately, what they have at the moment is buckets full of second-hand information and not a teaspoon of facts.
"The more evidence, the stronger the appeal," said Michael Chambers, the president of Canada's Olympic federation. "The more hearsay, the weaker the appeal."
With that established, it is clear little will happen. Sale and Pelletier are probably more popular now than if they had won the gold. Figure skating has attracted so much attention that people might actually watch the ice dancing competition. And the ISU and all its strange judging patterns will continue as before.
To be honest, if the second-place pairs team had been from Lithuania and unattractive, there wouldn't have been any press conferences yesterday. There wouldn't have been any outrage, any calls for changes, and Cinquanta could have enjoyed his lunch. But the unlucky couple was both adorable and the stuff of local controversy, so it became a big deal.
Now, if someone can just find that chain-smoking bottle-blonde with the kneecap pipe, we'll really have an Olympics that NBC can get excited about.
