British, U.S. Officials Quash Plane Rumor

2 hours, 8 minutes ago Add Top Stories - Reuters to My Yahoo!

LONDON (Reuters) - Market rumors that a commercial aircraft flying from London to either Washington or New York had gone missing are untrue, British and U.S. air traffic controllers said on Wednesday.

"There are no reports of any aircraft in difficulties. As far as we know, everything is normal," a spokesman for Britain's National Air Traffic Services told Reuters.

"We've checked with everyone, including our Canadian and European counterparts, and no one has heard anything," said the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (news - web sites)'s Glenn Godfrey, operations manager at the FAA (news - web sites)'s air traffic command center near Washington D.C.

The rumor swept through equity and money markets, becoming a talking point, but prices were largely unaffected.

British Airways, whose shares were down around two percent on the day, said it had checked its flights and everything was normal. (Additional reporting by Mark Egan in New York)

This is a call out for two Freeper friends and a very distressing story brought to my attention and they are receiving apathy with this issue, so we need TM'rs to hopefully take up this cause, brainstorm and act on it:

Guilty Plea Results in Deportation (no jail time for 'illegal' child molesters ??)

A pair of illegal immigrants agreed not to contest their deportation, and by doing so avoided five-year prison sentences for molesting a Mundelein girl.

Cousins Antonio Reyes-Angeles, 25, and Isidro Reyes-Lorenzo, 20, pleaded guilty to aggravated criminal sexual abuse during a Monday hearing before Circuit Judge Victoria Rossetti.

The two were sentenced to five years in prison, but Rossetti agreed to put the prison time on hold in exchange for their agreement to cooperate with the Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's efforts to deport them.

"They cannot assert their right to remain in the United States in any way," Assistant State's Attorney Marykay Foy said. "They either voluntarily return to Mexico, or are taken to prison."

The two admitted molesting a 10-year-old girl several times between January and April of this year in Mundelein.

Mundelein police arrested the men after the girl reported the attacks to a Hawthorn Middle School counselor who called police.

Foy said if either man is ever arrested in the United States, the five-year sentence will be imposed without provisions of time off for good behavior.

In addition, Foy said, federal law provides for a sentence of at least five years for any person deported as a result of a criminal act who re-enters this country.

Doda's comments:

This idiot {judge} thinks simple 'deportation' is suitable punishment for admitted child molesters........in post 33, 'Chicagolady' found another case where this same judge ruled for deportation of another admitted child molester.

No jail time for any child molesters is an outrage, & to
simply deport these mexicans should be a crime in itself.

With the 'revolving door' @ our southern border, these scumbags could already be back in the USA.
