<p>Harry, 26  who graduated from Britain's prestigious Sandhurst military academy in 2006, was also awarded an Apache Badge on Thursday after completing an eight-month course to fly the helicopter without an instructor, St. James' Palace said according to CNN.</p>

<p>Prince Harry who has been speculated as preparing for a wedding with girlfriend Chelsy Davys will have a new title to his name, and that is captain. </p>

<p>There's speculation that Harry's outfit at the big nuptials will be the gold-brocaded state ceremonial uniform of the army regiment he originally joined when he left Sandhurst military academy. But palace aides will not confirm what the best man will be wearing until the day of the wedding, reports the Daily Beast.</p>

<p>Harry's elder brother Prince William serves in the Royal Air Force as a search-and-rescue helicopter pilot off the coast of Wales , according to CNN.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>A student at Yale University died in lab when her hair  was pulled into a piece of machine-shop equipment Wednesday, an official said,  according to Minnesota Daily.</p>

<p>Michele Dufault was a senior majoring in astronomy. She died Thursday night " in what appears to have been a terrible accident involving a piece of equipment,'' school officials said. The school said the accident took place inside chemistry lab machine shop but didn't say what the machine was. </p>

<p>On Tuesday, just weeks from graduating, she toiled late at night inside a machine shop in a chemistry lab, as she had for weeks while working on her senior thesis: investigating the possible use of liquid helium for detecting dark matter particles. Ms. Dufault, 22, was killed when her hair became caught in the lathe, whose rotating axis is used to hold materials like wood or metal being shaped, reports NY Times.</p>

<p>Dufault was active in many areas including working on underwater robotic vehicles  at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. She also traveled to Houston as part of a team of undergraduates chosen by NASA to perform a plasma physics experiment in reduced gravity. </p>

<p>"She was simply brilliant. Her mind , her sense of curiosity,her perceptiveness, her sensitivity,"  Noble and Greenough head of school Robert Henderson said according to Minnesota Daily.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>R&B singer Sade has agreed to do a collaboration with rapper Jay-Z.</p>

<p>The much talked about  duet have been serenading the internet  with their single "The Moon and the Sky."</p>

<p>According to The Young, The Black, and the Fabulous, Sade has dropped the first single from The Ultimate Collection disc and it features rapper Jay-Z.  We all know Sade doesn't do many duets or collaborations so this really was a big "win" for Roc Nation. </p>

<p>Many people are curious to hear what this Duo will bring to the table, and some have even dubbed it as an awkward Hip- Hop Collaboration.</p>

<p>MTV News reports,Sade and Jay-Z does seem like an awkward pairing, however. While we don't doubt that he's a fan, Jay-Z has never struck us as the smooth jazz/soft rock type of guy.</p>

<p>The song "Moon and the Sky" is set to drop May 3.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>According to Inside the Daily Planet ,after closing its doors last week when a driver crashed into its outer wall, Hard Times Café will reopen Thursday, debuting some small renovations.,</p>

<p>Hard Times Cafe , located on the West Bank of the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Campus was temporarily closed after a car plowed into its outer wall .</p>

<p>According to Minnesota Daily, a car rammed into the side of the building April 3., shoving the restaurants dishwasher  and pluming off the wall by nearly 6 inches. </p>

<p>Hard Times Cafe is usually opened 22 hours a day and closes only two days of the year for cleaning and repairs, so being closed for almost two weeks was a change for the owners as well as patrons.</p>

<p>"Doing all the repairs at once  makes the cafe' look new again," co-owner Merle-Smith said.</p>

<p>Now that the renovations are near complete, patrons will be able to frequent the local cafe again. </p>

        <![CDATA[<p>For 20 years, Matthew Knowles has been a major contributor to the music industry; he wears many hats which include CEO and president of Music World Entertainment, a professor at Texas Southern University, and is also responsible for the number 1 R& B group and R&B solo artist.</p>

<p>Many people know Knowles as the father and ex-manager of Beyonce Knowles.The recent split between the father and daughter duo has fans wondering what happened. </p>

<p>In an interview with Knowles Black Enterprise, asks ;As her father and manager, will not having her under your wing be a difficult transition for you?</p>

<p>"Interesting enough, the transition started way before the official announcement. If you're strategic, which we are, you don't make a decision like that before you start dialogue. That dialogue started nine months ago. At the end of the day, I'm Beyonce's father first and her manager second," said Knowles.</p>

<p>NBC Bay Area reports,A statement previously released by Beyoncé said there was no bad blood between Beyoncé and her father, who had been her manager since her Destiny's Child days.</p>

<p>Moving forward, Matthew and Beyonce Knowles have big entertainmentl plans, and although separate by management, they will continue to leave their mark in music history.</p>

<p>KPLC reports,"A gentleman walked in and said I've got a really important book here and I'm sitting there rolling my eyes and think, 'yeah, sure you do,'" Sanders said. "Then he opens it up and it's a Nuremberg Chronicles from 1494." </p>

<p>Sanders first guess was that this book is well over 100,000 dollars. </p>

<p>The owner of the book said he does not plan to go for top dollar, and just wants to make it available for the public to see, reports KPLC</p>

<p>The 11 hour budget agreement which took place on Thursday had many people anxious about what is next step for federal programs that are already in debt.</p>

<p>Wall Street Journal reports,Republicans signaled they would support an increase in the debt ceiling--required by law to avoid a government default--only if deep and long-term spending cuts are introduced. Democrats, in contrast, are trying to shift the fight to certain industry subsidies and proposed Republican tax cuts.</p>

<p>Both parties have different outlooks on the current debt concerns but came to a tentative agreement.</p>

<p> According to the  Los Angeles Times ,The deal( on Thursday night) was not final, but the two sides have agreed on cuts of $38 billion, up from $34.5 billion being considered a day earlier, the official said, discussing the negotiations on condition of anonymity.</p>

<p>Americans will have to wait for the final results over the next week . </p>

<p>On the morning of March 10th, a  burglary at the Five Guys fast food restaurant located in Dinky Town occurred during the morning police shift change.</p>

<p>Apparently, police heard the building alarm sound at 6:30 pm, but when they arrived the building was secure.</p>

<p>Minnesota Daily reports, a lurker slipped into the building while the door was propped open during a morning deliver. When employees came in for work around 7:15 , they noticed money missing from the register.</p>

<p>Dinky town has had its share of car jacking and burglaries in the past. One year ago, a student was stabbed and robbed in the neighborhood. </p>

<p>According to he Star Tribune,a stabbing just a few blocks off campus sent a student to the hospital and added to a string of high-profile attacks in and around the University of Minnesota in recent months. </p>

<p>These reports have caused a continuous  concern about police availability and police shift changes that have recently make police less accessible during certain hours.</p>

<p>" I think the problem is that you've got the wily criminal who knows his timing and takes advantage  of an opportunity," Said 421's Jim Sander, reports Minnesota Daily.</p>

<p>Moving forward, Five Guys will now be more careful when closing at night. </p>

<p>According to FindLaw,The Department of Public Safety reports that more than 100 people have died in auto accidents so far in 2010 -- exceeding the number of drivers killed last year for the same time period. An estimated 421 people died in all of 2009, when the 100-death mark came in May .</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>The Minnesota Gophers beat the Purde Boilermakers 9-5 in the Big 10 Opener on Friday.</p>

<p>Minnesota Daily Reports,After struggling to find consistency through much of the rain-shortened and road-heavy non-conference slate, Minnesota (9-8) scored nine runs to close the West coast road trip. They followed that up Friday by scoring nine more runs and beating Purdue 9-5.</p>

<p>The Minnesota Gophers definitely showed up in Indianapolis .</p>

<p>According to NBC Sports, Minnesota's coach won a national championship at Kentucky and has 450 career victories, yet no half of basketball he has coached in 18 years could top what his Golden Gophers did to Purdue on Saturday. Minnesota held the No. 6 Boilermakers to the worst first half in Purdue's record books and rolled to a 69-42 victory in the Big Ten tournament semifinals</p>

<p>At one point in the game, Purdue went eleven minutes without scoring, which did not help the outcome of the game.</p>

<p>Starting Point Guard Lewis Jackson went on to say, " We did not have anything in our tanks today, obviously Minnesota did."</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>A bomb threat made to the Eiffel Tower in Paris caused French Officials to evacuate 4,000 tourist.</p>

<p>On Wednesday, a bomb threat and a suspicious package was enough to cause French officials to take action and protect the safety of everyone in the tower. </p>

<p>According to sify news ,No explosives were found, and the site in the French capital was reopened to visitors more than two hours after the original warning, said a Paris police official.</p>

<p>The Eiffel tour is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world, and millions of people visit every year, but it is not stranger to bomb threats. <br />
 <br />
The Eiffel Tower was last evacuated on Oct. 10, 2005, due to a bomb threat. Before that, the landmark was last evacuated on July 22, 2003, due to a fire, reports msnbc.</p>

<p>sify news reports that France is currently at the forefront of an international military operation against Moammar Gadhafi's forces in Libya. It has received general, unspecified threats from extremists in the past related to its troops in Afghanistan and a law banning Islamic face veils in public.</p>

<p>The bomb threat is still under investigation, and the Eiffel tower has since been opened back up to the public</p>
