user: News: Tom Cleverley has been granted a season-long loan move to Aston Villa a day after the transfer deadline ended, despite the requisite paperwork being filed later than a two-hour extension granted by the Premier League.

Villa are thought to have pleaded to the Premier League board that, while it was around 1.15am on Tuesday – with the transfer deadline having been at 11pm on Monday – when the application to take Cleverley on a temporary basis was finally sent through, the wheels had been set in motion and the club had tried its utmost to process everything as quickly as possible.

It is unclear how this will be received by other clubs, who may feel the deadline should have been adhered to by every member of the league. United’s loan deal for Radamel Falcao and Arsenal’s £16m purchase of Danny Welbeck were each finalised after the official 11pm cut-off point.

Cleverley had initially been an £8m target for Villa before his wage demands caused the club to reconsider. The 24-year-old earns a basic of £30,000 a week at United plus sizeable add-ons and, with him being a free agent in May, Cleverley felt he was in a strong position to bargain.

Villa did not accede to his requests for a weekly salary of around £60,000, leading to Everton attempting to buy him, but the latter’s offer of around £5m was rejected. This alerted Villa to the possibility of reviving their interest, this time by taking him just for the season.

The late granting of the loan move is a boost to Cleverley, whose United career has foundered since Louis van Gaal became manager. Last week he had to train with the reserves. Now he will hope for regular first-team action under Paul Lambert.

Villa could yet try to make the deal permanent, possibly in the January window, but Everton are understood to retain an interest in Cleverley, who played under Roberto Martínez at Wigan.

News: The leading Republican presidential candidates' Secret Service code names are secret no more.

Campaign sources revealed Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum's campaign aliases to GQ magazine on Monday.

Romney has chosen to be called "Javelin," which many are speculating is in reference to the 1960s muscle car made by American Motor Corp. The former Massachusetts governor's father ran once the company.

Santorum picked "Petrus," which is Latin for "rock." It's also the root name for "Peter," the first pope of the Roman Catholic Church — and his grandfather's name.

Code names are used in radio calls between Secret Service agents and are typically between two to three syllables long. The tradition of using the names goes back to when communications between the Secret Service and White House weren't encrypted.

The names are usually picked by the candidates themselves or their communications offices. They must be easy to pronounce.

In 2007, then-presidential candidate Barack Obama's code name was revealed as "Renegade," while Michelle Obama's was "Renaissance." Daughters Malia and Sasha go by "Radiance" and "Rosebud," respectively.

George W. Bush's family also stuck to alliteration. The former president went by "Trailblazer," and his wife Laura chose "Tempo." Daughters Barbara and Jenna picked "Turquoise" and "Twinkle," respectively.

Other presidents' code names include Harry Truman as "General," John F. Kennedy as "Lancer," Ronald Reagan as "Rawhide," George H.W. Bush as "Timberwolf" and Bill Clinton as "Eagle."

Two of the more unusual names were Vice President Al Gore's daughter, Karenna, who went by "Smurfette." Then there's Meghan McCain. In 2008, when her dad was running for president, she went by "Peter Sellers."

From the age of 23 to 25 - March 1958 to March 1960 - Elvis Presley was a soldier in in the United States Army. His monthly pay was $78 - plus $1,000 from his record company.

Extraordinarily, different branches of the U.S. Armed Forces had vied with each other to secure Elvis as a serving member. The Navy offered to form an "Elvis Presley" company, created exclusively from Elvis' friends and men from Memphis. As an added incentive, he would be given his own private quarters and would perform in Las Vegas.

The Army offered a post that would allow Elvis to tour U.S. Army bases around the world, in an effort to improve troop morale and bolster recruitment numbers. The Pentagon also offered him the chance to join Special Services, which would mean he would not have to undergo regular soldier training but would still be able to entertain the troops.

Elvis declined all these offers and enlisted as a regular soldier. He was initially scheduled for induction in January 1958, but received an extension to finish filming of the move, "Kid Creole."

He reported for duty on March 24, 1958. News reporters called it "Black Monday."

Despite the media descriptions, Elvis's recording career hardly missed a beat. During a two-week leave, he recorded five songs. And his record company, RCA, produced a steady stream of unreleased recordings during that time. Altogether, Elvis strung together 10 Top-40 hits during his months in the service.
