Abu Hamza among five terror suspects extradited to USA - BBC News [getdailynow.blogspot.com]
A police convoy transports the terror suspects from Long Lartin prison to RAF Mildenhall
Five terror suspects, including the radical cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri, have flown out of the UK on a jet bound for the United States.
Officers from Scotland Yard's extradition unit handed the men to US marshals at RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk.
A police convoy brought the suspects from Long Lartin prison in Worcestershire to Suffolk at 19:15 BST.
High Court judges earlier dismissed the men's final appeal against extradition to the US to face terror charges.
They said the five men, Abu Hamza, Babar Ahmad, Syed Talha Ahsan, Adel Abdul Bary and Khaled al-Fawwaz, did not show "new and compelling" reasons to stay in the UK.
A Home Office spokesman said the government was "working to extradite these men as quickly as possible".
The BBC understands a US Department of Justice-owned Gulfstream jet has been on the tarmac at the base since Tuesday, having flown in from Washington.
A second civilian plane, a Dassault Falcon 900, flew into the airbase in the early hours of Friday morning from Westchester County in New York state.
The High Court ruling on Friday afternoon brought to an end a long-running legal battle. The men's extradition requests were submitted between 1998 and 2006, between eight and 14 years ago.
The suspects final appeal came after the European Court of Human Rights agreed with successive UK courts, that they should face extradition.
Judges Sir John Thomas and Mr Justice Ousley said in their ruling that there was an "overwhelming public interest in the functioning of the extradition system" and that there was "no appeal from our decision".
Sir John added that there was little doubt each man had, over the years, "either taken or had the opportunity to take every conceivable point to prevent his extradition to the United States".
Their written ruling, read out in court, concluded that "each of the claimants' applications for permission to apply for judicial review or for a reopening of the statutory appeals be dismissed".

...no. if you live in another state then you can't get in-state tuition.
Answer by kim w
Some states have a partnership of sorts and they'll count you as instate even though you aren't. I know that's how it is for Illinois. Check the college you want to go to.
Answer by Alex
No, in-state tuition isn't for helping people who live near the college, it's because people who live in the state have been paying for it with their tax money. That's why it's called "in-state" tuition, not "nearby resident" tuition.

Some schools on the border of 2 states have reciprocal in-state agreements as an example: Pensacola State is in FL and is only about 20 minutes from the AL border http://www.pensacolastate.edu/ They offer in-state tuition to AL students I had no idea that some schools offered this until I saw this school. Someone here also put up a link to certain programs at some schools that were offered in-state for students out of certain states.... I don't recall the link... it was southeastern states & only certain programs at certain schools Search the school's website or call them to ask Edit to Add: this is the link I was referring to earlier http://www.sreb.org/page/1304/academic_common_market.html# If you are in one of the states listed then you can put your state here: http://home.sreb.org/acm/choosestate.aspx and then click Search for Programs and see what programs are offered at other school in other states at In-State tuition prices this is usually programs where no school in one state has the major & they are working with schools in other states to take students from their state at in-state cost because the major is not available in the home state For example, an AL student could go to University of Houston at in-state tuition pricing because there is not a Health Law specialty available at the law schools in AL.
