PEOPLE & CELEBRITIES NEWSFLASH Sons 'help keep Charles in touch'
LONDON-Princes William and Harry keep Prince Charles "in touch with what's going on", their father has said. Joining Charles in an interview with TV duo Ant and Dec, the young princes revealed they argued over possession of the television remote control. And the interviewers are ribbed about their past as pop stars PJ and Duncan. The interview is being screened on ITV1 on Saturday night as part of celebrations to mark the 30th birthday of the Prince's Trust. Dec Donnelly asks Charles: "How important are William and Harry in keeping you in touch with what's relevant today and what's in fashion?" Do we look fashionable? Yes, right," interjects William. "I'm sure they think they are very important, ha, no I do, they are very good at keeping me in touch with what's going on a bit," Charles replies. I mean particularly on a sort of music front and things like that. I can't keep up with all the different new bands and everything else that pop up on the scene." William and Harry admit to having similar tastes in music. "I'd say his was pretty shocking but mine was very good," William says. "But apart from that we tend to like pretty much the same music." However, Charles is less impressed, saying his sons' loud music makes the house shake. "It's just like houses up and down the country - 'turn that racket down'," says Donnelly. Referring to the interviewers' previous incarnation as pop stars PJ and Duncan, William says: "I was at school - we love them, don't we... that's those two." We had a very brief music career," Ant McPartlin replies. "In a former life," adds Donnelly. The young princes also reveal "there is usually an argument over the remote" and that they watch reality TV shows including Pop Idol and I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! - both presented by their interviewers. Other topics covered include the cooking skills, or lack of them, of all three princes. After being congratulated on the 30th anniversary of the Prince's Trust, Charles replies: "You're very kind, thank you very much. "It is rather worrying. And I'm still alive."
Al GORE: "I AM NOT RUNNING!" A documentary based on Al Gore's environmental campaigning is under way. Al Gore said the world faced a stark choice between the end of civilization and a future for its children. He also said he was not considering running again for presidential office in 2008. Al Gore said global warming was a "challenge to our moral imagination to understand it and then to respond to it urgently". The documentary An Inconvenient Truth is based on lectures Al Gore has been delivering about environmental crisis for many years. The film shows photographs of changes to glaciers around the world, with snow disappearing from the Alps, Antarctica and the South Pole. "People have been moved by it," Al Gore said. "People coming out feeling a sense of urgency." He stressed the problem was moral, not political, and said he hoped the current US government would re-think its environmental strategy and sign up to the successor to the Kyoto treaty. "I even believe that there is a chance that within the next two years even Bush and Cheney will be forced to change their position on this crisis," he said. "One can only attempt to create one's own reality for so long. Reality proper has a way of insisting itself upon you. Mother nature has joined this debate with a very powerful and persistent voice." But he said he was not thinking of running for president in two years. I don't plan to be a candidate again for national office," he said.

UFOLOGY: Who are the most powerful and influential people in ufology? The Biographical Encyclopedia of People in Ufology and Scientific Extraterrestrial Research does not tell. However, if you read between the lines, you sense that the editors -indirectly- have their favorites. Not exactly, because the book is a solid source of reference, nevertheless, readers are led to believe that some ufologists are more important than others. And this becomes obvious, taking into consideration the length of their biographies, and most importantly, whether a sample of their writings was or was not included in their profiles. If an ufologist's profile entry includes statements and an article -no matter how small it is - this could be considered as an indication or a reference to an important status. Those who fell into this category are unquestionably the most influential ufologists. I will not spoil the game nor the suspense, read the book and be your own judge. But it is worth mentioning that the following names occupied a privileged position in Lafayette's encyclopedia: Dr. David Adair, Dr. Steven Greer, Dr. Stephen Hawking, Dr. Carl Jung, Dr. John Alexander, Haktan Akdogan, Colin Andrews, Nancy Hayfield Birnes, George C.
