There are a couple of points here that you will need to deal with separately.
The first is the navigation and breadcrumbs. To fake the news items position in the site tree you can pass either pass navid into the page as a url parameter, or you can set request.navid before the page header is included in the webskin. This allows you to tell the navigation generation code what the page's parent navigation node is. I'm not sure if this effects the breadcrumbs too - you may have to update the breadcrumbs tag so that request.navid is passed into it instead of stObj.objectid. The other point is the friendly URL. You have a couple of options. The easiest is to change the FU prefix in the FU config from "/go/" to "/" or "/the-institute/" depending on how you have FarCry set up.
