Release Date:
October 31, 2000
Like any soundtrack with aspirations of being hip, the soundtrack to the heart-warming Brit comedy-drama Billy Elliot is peppered with dialogue from the film -- a tactic that was entertaining in 1993, when Reservoir Dogs popularized it, but it had lost its charm by 2000. But, if you can ignore that dialogue and concentrate on the music, you have a real nice disc of British pop. There are a couple of stragglers here -- Stephen Gately, Eagle-Eye Cherry, and the Clash have a song a piece -- but for the most part, this is devoted to two great British pop stars, Marc Bolan and Paul Weller. It's a pair that doesn't seem to work well together on paper -- the Slider and the Modfather share a fondness for Northern soul and nice clothes, but their boogie and sophisti-pop appear to be polar opposites -- but it all works well here, since they're both terrific singles artists. Weller is represented by the Jam's "Town Called Malice" and two from the Style Council, "Shout to the Top" and "Walls Come Tumbling Down." It's a classic paired with two period pieces, and he comes off well all the same. Still, Marc Bolan and T Rex are where the heart of the soundtrack lie, and there's a great selection of tunes from him, including not just the omnipresent "Get It On" and "Cosmic Dancer," but the non-LP singles "I Love to Boogie," "Children of the Revolution," and the wonderful "Ride a White Swan." These great songs, when paired with Weller and "London Calling," make the soundtrack to Billy Elliot more infectious than the film itself. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Summer Institute: Global Mental Health & Psychosocial Support
Resilience Training for Journalists & Aid Workers
Training: Mindfulness for Journalists
A resource for journalists who cover violence
The biggest hurdle when covering tragedies involving children is getting access to information. Stricter confidentiality laws govern everything from their school and hospital records to court and child-welfare files.
Overcoming this is especially important because some of the worst violence kids endure happens at home or in institutional settings. Children have no voice of their own. Journalists face the daunting challenge of finding ways to report on child abuse and neglect without causing more harm to the victims.
The bottom line: Treat kids like you'd want a reporter to treat your own children.
A 40-page guide to help journalists, photojournalists and editors report on violence while protecting both victims and themselves.
This documentary, available online and on DVD, features a wide range of Australian journalists their recounting experiences covering traumatic stories.
Your contributions help the Dart Center nurture informed, innovative and ethical news reporting on violence, conflict and tragedy worldwide.
The Dart Center is a project of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

Hi there. I'm Pedro, commonly known as Prism (you can call me either way). I registered in March 2008 as I viewed Wiki as a great site to add fancruft to. No kidding—I was a bit childish when I entered, and my English was really poor. Consequently, and rather predictably, my edits led to several last warnings and reverts which kept me off Wikipedia for a long time. In August 2013, for some reason, my editing passion returned and I started expanding music articles. I haven't left ever since, and I have improved about 20 articles to good articles, 3 to featured lists and I'm currently prepping up Trouble (Natalia Kills album) for its FAC, which hopefully will pass.
I'm an avid pop music listener, and I'm a fan of Katy Perry, Rihanna, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Ashley Tisdale. Other than that genre, I often hear indie rock songs (Two Door Cinema Club, etc) and electronic music (Daft Punk, Disclosure). I enjoy watching How I Met Your Mother, The Simpsons, The Neighbors, Modern Family, Futurama, and many, many other series. I occasionally turn on the PS3 to play GTA V, Tomb Raider and Dead or Alive.

Dominica, heralded as the "Nature Island of the Caribbean," Dominica, is pushing to become completely reliant on geothermal energy. Government officials say that this policy addresses growing climate change concerns, high electricity costs along with an ambitious goal to become carbon "negative" by 2020.

Keywords: Dominica, geothermal, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, Roseau Valley
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Dominica is prone to climate-linked natural disasters such as hurricanes, flooding and landslide. Hydropower accounts for 40 percent of the country's electrical power, Dominica also remains highly dependent on imported oil. People here pay the highest electricity prices in the Eastern Caribbean.
The project at hand will require the construction of a small power plant for domestic consumption. A much larger plant of up to 100 megawatts of electricity will be built for export to the neighboring French islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique.
Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit told Parliament in July that his government had invested $11.2 million in test drilling and would spend an additional $13.3 million to develop geothermal power in the island's Roseau Valley.
The Roseau Valley is one of the most popular destinations for nature lovers, with lush rainforests, rivers, waterfalls and hiking trails. The valley is also home to the world's second largest boiling lake and accounts for 65 percent of tourism revenue in Dominica.
Test drilling confirmed that the valley's geothermal resource was of excellent quality and sufficient to generate more than 120 megawatts of electricity.
Energy costs in Dominica continue to affect "the quality of life of families, individuals and the competitiveness of businesses," and this project could reduce the price of electricity by 40 percent, Skerrit said.
The project has the potential to transform the island's economy and ensure commitments to the environment are met, harnessing alternative, renewable sources of energy is seen as crucial for Dominica, Vince Henderson, chairman of the government's geothermal negotiating team says.
"Dominica has tremendous geothermal capacity. This project will not only bring us energy security and independence, but geothermal energy will reduce our contribution to climate change and demonstrate leadership in switching from over-reliance on expensive, dirty, fossil fuel generation," he said.
Some fear potential negative impacts. "I believe the level of secrecy surrounding the project is troubling," one valley resident says.
"We should have been brought to the table to discuss what is about to happen in our area, with our land and with our health . We know of the dangerous gases down there and we fear possible contamination of our streams and water supply. We just want our questions answered."

Jane Ziegelman: Immigrant Identities, Preserved in Vinegar?
TENSIONS over immigration in Europe are flaring this summer, along with questions about what — whether language, dress or diet — makes a foreigner a citizen. Of course, these questions also have a long history in America.
One of the biggest battles over assimilation occurred a century ago in New York City, and the battleground was food. Politicians, public health experts and social reformers were alarmed by what they saw as immigrants' penchant for highly seasoned cooking. They used too much garlic, onion and pepper. They ate too many cured meats and were too generous with the condiments. Strongly flavored food, these officials believed, led to nervous, unstable people. Nervous, unstable people made bad Americans.
In other words, to be a good American, you had to eat like one.
No immigrant food was more reviled than the garlicky, vinegary pickle. Pungent beyond all civilized standards, toxic to both the stomach and the psyche, the pickle was seen as morally suspect. As Dr. Susanna Way Dodds wrote in the late 19th century, "the spices in it are bad, the vinegar is a seething mass of rottenness ... and the poor little innocent cucumber ... if it had very little 'character' in the beginning, must now fall into the ranks of the 'totally depraved.' "...

I Know What You Did Last Summer

What's the story?
Four graduating high-school seniors, couples Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.), and Helen (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Barry (Ryan Phillippe) in a seacoast town are looking forward to graduation and promising young-adult lives as beauty queens and football heroes. But, driving recklessly after a night of drinking and cuddling on the beach, they run over a stranger. Hothead Barry, perceiving their bright tomorrows in jeopardy, has them dump the body in the sea and swears them all to secrecy. Horrifically, the mangled victim, going under, appears to be still alive. A year later college-student Julie gets a ransom-style note reading "I know what you did last summer," which compels her to reunite with her since-estranged friends, who claim ignorance about who could have sent the note and why. Barry suspects it came from a much-disliked schoolmate who had encountered them that grim night, and he tries to intimidate the kid with bullying. But then this suspect turns up murdered himself -- just the opening of a series of stalkings and killings.
Is it any good?
Early in this youth-oriented thriller a group of teenagers tell each other scary "urban legend" stories about maniacs with hooks for hands. As much as parents might prefer kids sit around at night with flashlights, wide-eyed and trembling, reciting tales from the Bible, the Arabian Nights, Twain, Dostoyevski or F. Scott Fitzgerald, young people always seem to go back to the thrill of morbid stuff with the hook-handed maniacs. And this holds true whether they're gathered around campfires in the woods or the cool fire of home video. I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER was a popular hit tapping into that spook-story appeal, with a good-looking cast who had been reigning on popular TV shows of the time. But there's not much under the surface (or even on the surface, for that matter) besides a familiar setup. It derives from a Lois Duncan YA novel of the same title that's been avidly read ever since its publication in 1974, but the bulk of the story deviates.
But what I Know What You Did last Summer does have is a sort of morality -- insofar as the youths' covering up their misdeed has negative repercussions, and not just the obvious, gory ones. Under the cloud of what They've Done Last Summer, the once-close quartet drift apart. Their suspicions, eventually directed against each other, make them easier targets for the real villain. It might be noted that the burden of guilt gets lightened a little bit by a surprise plot twist: the road accident had actually interrupted a murder-in-progress, and the victim was doomed anyway. Alfred Hitchcock this isn't, although scriptwriter Kevin Williamson came closer to that lofty ambition with the similarly bloody, but dark-humored Scream and its sequels, effective whodunits styled as semi-humorous takeoffs on slasher movies like this one.

Amazon.com Review
The Woody is a classically constructed farce, with each misstep and muck-up piling on the ones below it, until it seems there's no way anything will work out. But eventually, miraculously, ridiculously, it does. Lefcourt offers enough twists and turns--and winking nods to real-life figures and scandals--to make for an enjoyable ride. Of course, if you take politics seriously, The Woody may be too close to the truth for comfort, but rest assured it's much, much funnier than those real-life shenanigans. The misadventures of Senator White will keep readers at all points on the political spectrum giggling for days. --Michael Gerber --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

text: Major League Baseball Royals Fans Show Up Online And On The Road By Greg Echlin • Jun 17, 2015 In the latest balloting for the July 14 All-Star game in Cincinnati, the Kansas City Royals lead the voting this week at eight positions. The trend from Royals fans indicate that online votes for their favorite players won't let up. But Royals fans are making their presence felt in more ways than just All-Star balloting — the blue wave hit Busch Stadium in St. Louis last weekend. Whitney Findley, a Royals fan who lives in Lee's Summit, saw familiar friends in no time at all across the street from the stadium. Beyond Baseball By Brian Ellison & Matthew Long-Middleton • Jun 2, 2015 Listen Listening... / 42:47 Two retired MLB players--Rex Hudler of Fox Sports (now a Royals announcer) and Fred Kipp of the Dodgers and the Yankees--share their experiences on and off the field, then and now. Royals GM Dayton Moore On Winning, Celebrating, And Players Getting Hit By Lisa Rodriguez • May 6, 2015 John Spertus / for KCUR "Never lose sight of winning on the field at the major-league level." That is advice he will never forget, the Kansas City Royals' General Manager Dayton Moore told Up to Date's Steve Kraske on Wednesday. How The Royals Are Changing Baseball By Gina Kaufmann, Sylvia Maria Gross & Matthew Long-Middleton • Apr 29, 2015 Mysteryman28/Google Images -- CC After last season's incredible run, the national spotlight has been on the Kansas City Royals — and the team's recent bench-clearing brawl and skirmishes with opposing teams. We invite KCUR's sports reporter and sports columnist at the Kansas City Star to discuss the unspoken code of conduct in baseball — and how the Royals are changing the game. Guests: Lee Judge, cartoonist and sportswriter, Kansas City Star Greg Echlin, sports reporter, KCUR A Fan's Notes: Billy Butler's Back To Play The Royals By Victor Wishna & Danie Alexander • Apr 17, 2015 Listen Listening... / 5:08 The last time the Oakland A's came to town, the result was one of the wildest come-from-behind victories in Kansas City sports history. Tonight's rematch at the K marks an historic comeback of another sort, at least for one longtime fan favorite. Commentator Victor Wishna explains in "A Fan's Notes." In the history of Kauffman Stadium, only a handful of men have stepped up to the plate more often than William Raymond Butler, Jr. His 2,422 appearances include seven home openers, one All-Star debut, and, of course, the bottom-of-the-ninth in Game Seven of the World Series. Tonight, he'll be there again for the first time since. And, for the first time ever, this home plate won't be home. The Royals have started this year with the same intensity that electrified the city in October. It's as if they don't realize the season ever ended. Which makes it even harder to believe that Billy Butler, the man known as "Country Breakfast," is now an Oakland Athletic. It'll be tough to see him in that green-and-gold, only in part because no one looks good in those colors. The A's will come in here looking to avenge their Wild-Card humiliation. But for Butler and fans, the sure-to-be-bittersweet reunion calls for a warmer brand of payback. Billy Butler Picked Up By Oakland A's For $30 Million By Cody Newill • Nov 19, 2014 Keith Allison / Flickr-CC The Oakland Athletics confirmed Wednesday that Billy Butler will play for the team starting in 2015. Despite showing a desire to remain a Kansas City Royal, Butler's $12.5 million option for 2015 was too much for Royals managers. Oakland approached Butler with a three-year, $30 million contract and $5 million signing bonus. Some had mixed emotions about seeing Butler leave the only professional team for which he's played. Dean Tangeman posted this response on Twitter: A Fan's Notes: An Ode To The Kansas City Royals By Victor Wishna & Danie Alexander • Nov 6, 2014 Keith Allison / Flickr--CC The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Royals at the end. The score stood three to two, with only one chance to extendThis magnificent, magical season. And from where we sat,With Bumgarner in, hope was dim as K.C. came to bat. Hosmer: down. Butler: out. Is this how we'd end the story?Would the heroes of '85 not pass on their glory?Gordo stepped to the batter's box, locked in, and snapped his gum,And thousands—make that millions—pondered just how far we'd come. Celebrating A Remarkable Royals Season By Steve Kraske & Eliza Spertus • Oct 30, 2014 Frank Morris / KCUR The month of October has been a rollercoaster ride for Kansas City. The Royals made it through an amazing postseason, all the way to Game 7 of the World Series. We may have lost that final game to the San Francisco Giants 2-3, but our boys in blue gave this city an unbelievable and unforgettable postseason. Kansas City celebrated the remarkable accomplishments of our Royals at Kauffman Stadium today. On this edition of Up to Date, we bring you part of the festivities at the K including a chat with Mayor Sly James. For Some KC Businesses, World Series Impact Isn't So Big By Steve Kraske & Beth Lipoff • Oct 29, 2014 Julie Denesha / KCUR Here in Kansas City, the hotels are booked solid, and people are snatching up anything in royal blue. For some sectors of the business community, life is very, very good right now. For others, the baseball action doesn't translate into extra dollars. On Wednesday's Up to Date, we take a look at how the World Series is having an impact on the local economy and why it might not be pumping in extra money as much as redistributing business success. Guests: Before The Royals There Were The Athletics By Danie Alexander & Steve Kraske • Oct 24, 2014 Missouri State Archives The Royals came along in 1969 after a U.S. senator from Missouri, Stuart Symington, put the squeeze on Major League Baseball. But before the boys in blue a team called the Philadelphia Athletics came to our fair town. Tell KCUR: What Should The World Series Bet Be Between San Francisco, Kansas City? By Alyson Raletz • Oct 20, 2014 Courtesy photo / KCUR Five-hundred pounds of Rice-A-Roni? A trolley car for Kansas City's new streetcar line? C'mon, Kansas City. We want to know what you think San Francisco should pony up if the Royals beat the Giants in the World Series. And what should Kansas City dish out if the Royals lose? Kansas City Royals' Big Win In 140 Characters Or Less By Alyson Raletz • Oct 15, 2014 Cody Newill / KCUR By now, reality has sunk in for most of the Kansas City area. The team with one of the most dramatic underdog stories in recent baseball history clinched a spot in the World Series Wednesday, when the Royals defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 2-1. From crying fans to a photo of a flabbergasted George Brett, here's a look at how Kansas City tweeted the historic victory. Kansas City Royals Headed To World Series By Peggy Lowe • Oct 15, 2014 Kathleen Kunkler / KCUR Sweeping away 29 years of heartbreak and bringing home an American League pennant to a rejoicing city, the Kansas City Royals clinched a trip Wednesday to the World Series. Final score after a fast fall game under clear royal blue skies: Kansas City 2, Baltimore 1. Screaming fans at Kauffman Stadium, on their feet for the ninth inning, counted down the outs until their beloved Royals were in the series. "Three. More. Outs ... Two ... Strike out! ... One. More. Out ... Sweep! Sweep!" Before They Were Royals: On The Field In High School By Beth Lipoff • Oct 15, 2014 Keith Allison / Flickr-CC You've seen the boys in blue dominating the field in Baltimore and at the K, but they weren't always pros. We take a peek into the past of a few of the Royals… to see how they played in high school. Tim Collins, pitcher Hometown: Worcester, MA Dave Nordman, deputy managing editor of sports at the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, remembers Collins who "was always the smallest player on his team" at 5'5", but "even for his size, he was just the best player on his team by far." (Collins is now 5'7".)

Sports Psychology: Preparing The Royals For The Pennant By Brian Ellison & Beth Lipoff • Aug 29, 2014 Beth Lipoff/KCUR In sports, we teach kids valuable lessons like, "Winning isn't everything. The most important thing is that you did your best." But if you're a pro athlete, that goes out the window. Your job is to win. On Friday's Up to Date, we look at the psychology of the clubhouse in a pennant race as the Royals gear up for possibly their first post-season appearance in a generation. We also hear from a team official about what it feels like to be at the K these days. Guests: A Fan's Notes: Great Expectations By Victor Wishna & Danie Alexander • Apr 10, 2014 KCUR-FM The year got off to a promising start for the Royals and their fans. In January, the teen pop singer known as Lorde won Grammy Awards for Best Performance and Song of the Year for her hit "Royals," which she claims was inspired by a picture of George Brett that she saw in an old copy of National Geographic. When she performed in Kansas City a few weeks ago, the Royals presented her with an autographed Brett jersey. Lorde, born 11 years after the team's last playoff appearance, called it "one of the coolest things" she owns—and she owns two Grammies.

Well, if Royals baseball is like life, then life has been hard.

Oculus announces sale of 1.65M shares of Ruthigen stock for $4.5M
Oculus (OCLS) announced the sale of its remaining 1.65M shares of Ruthigen (RTGN) stock to an investor group at $2.75 per share for non-dilutive funding of $4.5M. The sale is expected to close three days after the consummation of the merger between Ruthigen and Pulmatrix, a clinical-stage biotechnology company. This merger was approved by Ruthigen and Pulmatrix shareholders on June 12, 2015, and consummated on June 15, 2015. The final transfer of the Ruthigen shares and funds is expected to be completed on or before June 18, 2015. With completion of the merger, Oculus' management anticipates one of three outcomes relative to these milestones and royalties: Ruthigen/Pulmatrix will continue to move the clinical study forward and be responsible for future milestone and royalty payments; Ruthigen/Pulmatrix would sell these licensing rights to another company, which would then be accountable to Oculus for the same milestone payments and royalties. Ruthigen/Pulmatrix has until August 31, 2016, to complete the sale or initiate the clinical program; Or If neither of the above alternatives are completed and/or initiated, then the drug formulations license will revert back to Oculus.

Just six months ago, the busi- ness had to move out of its Main Street office to a larger space in order to accommodate its expansion. When owners of Resource Solutions Group decided to move to Stone Pine Office Park, they shared the same buildings with some like-minded companies.

RSG staff celebrated Earth Day by taking half the day off to clean up Dunes Beach. Then, in the late after- noon, they invited the office park to join them for a barbecue and social mixer. People chatted surrounding an ice chest of juice and tea, and the talk inevitably turned to environmental- ism. Wasn't a propane barbecue grill a crude cooking source of CO2 emis- sions, asked one attendee playfully? An executive at the RSG business found she had to defend her decision to use a grill. They were being carbon-conscious, she explained. They were using the barbecue to feed dozens of people instead of having them each cook their own food. She should've known she was facing a scrupulous group of environmental ethicists with this crowd. Just as Wall Street is for stockbro- kers, K Street for lobbyists, and Sand Hill Road for tech investors, Stone Pine Road in Half Moon Bay has developed its own professional dis- trict for environmental consultants. Whether they're local start-ups, splinter companies or branch offices, the Coastside has sprouted a surpris- ing number of consultancies leading the nationwide green revolution. It's an area of business that politicians, investors and the public consider key to America's future. Stepping inside to get away from the chatter of the company barbecue, RSG President Lauren Casentini says Half Moon Bay isn't yet the go-to Mecca for environmentalism — but it does have a lot going for it. "A lot of people are drawn to the Coastside because they love the envi- ronment, and usually they're creative with working that into their careers," she said in the company lobby.

Since Half Moon Bay has a pool of environmental experts, the area could benefit from that convergence.
