Easyblog / Joomla URL Structure from Wordpress Post URL structure

Hi guys - we are going live this weekend with a new development (that pulled 900 plus blogs from Wordpress into Easyblog) and the URL is the final thing we are looking at. I hope this is a basic question (maybe a joomla question) - but the URL structure on the old site is:

https://bonelaw.com/charles-robert-bone-named-nashville-business-journal-power-100/

Our current URL in Joomla (development account is)

http://bearhosting.com/~lawlifepassion/index.php/in-the-news/charles-robert-bone-named-nashville-business-journal-power-100

So when we go live - the /in-the-news is the only issue we have with Google's indexing of these blogs...

Do you know of a way to get the /in-the-news out of URL - so they match exactly the same and we don't loose any search engine link traffic?

Cheers,

Peter
