Shot as two Russian-speaking men walk across a snowy countryside, fuzzy footage of what is claimed to be the shriveled-up corpse of a “dead alien” has become an Internet sensation. The video’s description says the “alien,” which looks suspiciously like a “rubber doll,” was found in the town of Irkutsk, not far from an alleged UFO sighting one month ago in Siberia. As the Telegraph reports, villagers in the area reported seeing bright orange lights in the sky last month, with one witness capturing the mystery lights on his or her mobile phone. Benjamin Radford, a paranormal investigator and managing editor of Skeptical Inquirer magazine,

April 20, 2011 No Comment
This ain’t your grandma’s WiFi — that is, unless your grandma is 48 year-old Leticia Aguirre. The Houston woman became the host of the very first “super WiFi” hotspot, earlier this week — the new network takes advantage of unused UHF TV channels to bring internet service to underserved communities. In collaboration with researchers at Rice University, a Houston-based non-profit fittingly referred to as Technology for All (TFA), facilitated the setup and is in the process of deploying more whitespace hotspots across the area. The FCC approved use of whitespace for the new “super WiFi” back in September of last year. Full PR after the break.

Kate’s parents to have private lunch at Windsor Castle as David Cameron makes u-turn on morning dress To the relief of traditionalists, conventional royal wedding etiquette has been restored with the significant announcements that the Queen has now met the Middletons and the prime minister will now be wearing tails to the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Buckingham Palace formally confirmed that the Queen and Prince Philip had hosted Michael and Carole Middleton “at a private lunch at Windsor Castle today”. It is understood to be the first time the Queen, who is official host and in whose name the gold-embossed wedding invitations have been sent, had met the couple. The fact she had hitherto reportedly “not yet felt the need” to meet them raised some eyebrows. But proper social niceties were observed when the Middletons, self-made millionaires through their party planner mail order business, made the short trip from Bucklebury, Berkshire, to the gathering, described by a discreet source as having enjoyed a “warm atmosphere”. While unlikely to find its way into the official court circular, the meeting had apparently been pencilled in some time ago, thus cocking a royal snook at speculative reports that the couple’s first chance to rub shoulders with the monarch and her consort would be on the wedding day. Meanwhile, Downing Street announced that David Cameron, in an apparent U-turn, would now be wearing morning dress and not a business suit. Reports that the prime minister, who eschews formal dress for fear of reviving his privileged Old Etonian image, would wear a plain suit provoked criticism from many quarters. Bruce Anderson in the Daily Telegraph fulminated that the move could be evidence of “idleness, contempt for tradition, or merely a lack of self-confidence”. But it has emerged that the wedding story has, apparently, all been a misunderstanding – the result of an ill-judged and incorrect briefing to journalists by a No 10 aide. A picture of the future prime minister in tails, while a member of Oxford University’s Bullingdon Club, was mysteriously withdrawn from public view in 2007.

When George Martin gave a desperate Liverpool group one shot at glory, he brought Cliff Richard’s chart dominance to an end. Jon Savage on how one year – and one man – changed pop for ever ‘ This was the year in which I had 37 weeks at No 1,” says George Martin in the new BBC Arena documentary, Produced By George Martin . He’s talking about 1963, the year the Beatles broke through. While the exact number of weeks remains in dispute – thanks to the still vexed question of whether Please Please Me went to No 1 – this achievement has never been bettered. Often overlooked in pop histories, 1963 saw a revolution. Between 11 April and 31 December, George Martin productions – singles by Gerry and the Pacemakers , Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas , and the Beatles – monopolised the top of the charts. The picture is even more complete when you factor in the album charts. After 11 May, while the Beatles were at No 1 with From Me to You , their two albums, Please Please Me and With the Beatles , remained at the top for the following 51 weeks. They supplanted Cliff Richard’s Summer Holiday – No 1 for 14 weeks in early 1963 – and thereby lies a story. In Francis Hanly’s Arena film, Martin freely admits to his competitiveness. Back in 1962, the man to beat was Norrie Paramor, who, as recording director for EMI’s Columbia records, had bossed British pop since the late 50s. Now an unjustly forgotten figure, Paramor nurtured Cliff and built an empire on his productions for the Shadows , Helen
