Goran Dragic missed Wednesday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers and will be out for the rest of the Miami Heat's West Coast trip.
The Heat's starting point guard will return to South Florida soon to get an MRI on a strained left calf that he injured during Monday night's 111-103 loss at Golden State.
Neither Dragic nor the Heat is sure how long he will be out. Asked if he thinks Dragic will be out for a significant amount of time, coach Erik Spoelstra responded: "We don't know right now. But it's not a tear."
Dragic, who said he has never had a calf strain before, was obviously disappointed.
"I don't know which quarter [it was], I just felt the pain," Dragic said Wednesday morning after the Heat completed a shootaround at Santa Monica High.
"When your [body is] hot, you play through it. After the game we did some ice, some tests and they said they couldn't tell [how bad it was]. We went to go see the doctor [Tuesday] and did the ultrasound. He said it's a bad strain. Hopefully, it's nothing."
The Heat (22-16) certainly hopes so.
After struggling through November (10.6 points, 4.4 assists and 3.4 rebounds), Dragic had begun to find his footing in the Heat's offense. During the past 15 games, he has scored in double figures in all but three of those games and averaged 14.3 points, five assists and 3.3 rebounds.
Veteran Beno Udrih was expected to start in Dragic's place Wednesday night, with second-year combo guard Tyler Johnson expected to see a significant bump in minutes.
"Everyone deals with injuries, but it's unfortunate," Dwyane Wade said. "I think Goran was starting to figure it out a little bit more, what he needs to do, what's expected of him, figuring out the Eastern Conference. Like I said the other day, I was excited coming on this Western Conference trip because this is his backyard. To not have him these next couple games it's going to be a little different. But that's why Tyler Johnson is here and Beno [Udrih]. They're going to do a good job of stepping up and filling in."
Outside of not having Josh McRoberts around much of the season, the hamstring injury that kept Luol Deng out for a six-game stretch, and the troublesome left shoulder that has kept Johnson out for different stretches, the Heat has managed to avoid major injuries to key rotation players.
If Dragic is out for a significant amount of time it could send the season spiraling in a different direction.
How prepared is the Heat to go without Dragic?
"I don't know. I really don't," Wade said. "We'll see, man. I think we'll be fine. We're going to miss what he brings, especially in transition and in attack. Hopefully what the other guys bring — it's not going to be Goran — but its effective enough and it helps our team."
Wade is coming off a season-high 11 assists in Monday's loss. So, he can do plenty of facilitating. But the Heat will miss Dragic's scoring ability.
"I play the game the same," Wade said when asked if he'll try and fill in for the loss of Dragic's offensive playmaking and scoring. "Some nights I come out really to facilitate. Some nights I come out and really attack. Some nights I do both at the same time. I think its moreso going to be on Beno and how he approaches the game and what he feels he needs to do to get guys going, but also be aggressive because he can score the basketball. We need that position to be able to score as well. It will be more so on those guys than myself or Chris [Bosh]."
▪ Center Hassan Whiteside, who missed Monday's game with tendinitis in his right knee, returned Wednesday night but came off the bench as the Heat tweked its lineup and started Bosh at center.

Reading Laura Kipnis' Unwanted Advances is difficult. Not because Kipnis isn't a gifted writer, but because her experience with Title IX administrators, today's campus equivalent of a morality squad, is downright noxious. What landed her in trouble was an article she wrote, "Sexual Paranoia Strikes Academe" (Chronicle of Higher Education, February 2015). Many of us who remember the heady days of 70s and 80s campus life appreciated her candour about sex, especially when it came to the empowerment we felt then. Young campus feminists today, groomed to see themselves as victims disagreed, claiming they found the article "terrifying." A campus petition to sanction Kipnis at Northwestern followed, as did a Title IX inquiry.

Visit a Hopi family in their home, experience a traditional Hopi meal, purchase handmade Hopi crafts, take a walking tour of their village, and attend a Kachina Dance in the plaza.
Hi, my name is, Chris, and I've lived all over the country, but most recently Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon and now Phoenix, Arizona.
In all of my traveling I've come to know the Four Corners Region of Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico quite well. I've frequented such sites as Montezuma's Well, Tuzigoot National Monument, Canyon de Chelly, the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Navajo National Monument, Mesa Verde National Park, Antelope Canyon, Chaco Culture National Historical Park, and various towns in Arizona such as Sedona, Jerome, Flagstaff, Winslow, Tuba City, and Page, plus Cortez, Colorado, and Farmington and Sante Fe, New Mexico. But out of all of the places that I've visited, my favorite are the Hopi villages at First, Second and Third Mesa in Arizona, also known as Hopi Land.
The first time I visited Hopi was in April of 2008. I was living in Denver, Colorado and decided to take a trip through the Desert Southwest. I ended up in Sedona, Arizona, and met a woman that owned a company that offered various types of tours. For reasons unknown I was naturally drawn to Hopi, so I scheduled an all-day tour with a Hopi couple. We met at the Cultural Center, and I instantly felt at home. Coincidentally, I attended my very first Kachina dance on this day. I fell in love with Hopi at first sight.
My second visit to Hopi took place three years later, in July of 2011. I was living in Phoenix, Arizona, and decided to schedule a second tour for myself and a friend. This particular experience was very different from the first; much more professional and educational.
My third visit to Hopi took place the following year, in May of 2012, after a friend invited me to meet her at Hopi to help a family plant their spring corn. It was during that visit something magical took place, but I'll save the story for your journey to Hopi. Four years into this friendship my Hopi friends asked me if I would be interested in bringing people to visit Hopi. I couldn't say no. And that's how Journey To Hopi came to be.
Very Important Disclaimer: I have known my friends at Hopi well over 5 years now, and have learned that while they are very powerful and mystical within their own right, they guard their secrets, wisdom and knowledge very closely. Their beliefs, traditions and ways of life are very private and personal. If you're looking for one of those tours that promises some sort of fantastical, other-worldly, shamanistic, learn-all-about-the-Hopi experience, you may wish to continue your search elsewhere. Sedona seems to be a mecca for those types of tours.
My journeys are much more personal, simple and realistic. And if the weather permits you may even get the opportunity to sit on the edge of one of the mesas at night, to take in a spectacular view of the Milky Way and countless stars. Anything that happens above and beyond this is completely left to chance, and anything is possible on one of these road trips.

Again I post a recommended live action film in my recommended title lists.
This time one that hits several buttons for me:
1. Set in the Edo Period.
2. Involves kabuki.
3. Directed by Ichikawa Kon
The film is his 1963 classic Revenge of a Kabuki Actor. This one I especially recommend as one of his best films.

Leading Indian studio Eros International's Trinity Pictures, which was set up as India's first and only franchise feature studio in February 2015, is now ready with its first slate of films across new and exciting genres. With a focus on creating fresh concepts in new spaces, Trinity is the first Bollywood studio in India that has a dedicated in-house team of writers in the Trinity Writers' Room who have created over ten original franchises since the division's inception, out of which at least four films will go into production in fiscal year 2017.
Trinity's initial lineup includes a range of character-driven franchises across budgets, genres and languages, including a live action elephant film, a kids action film, and an Indo-China project. These will be helmed by acclaimed directors from across the country including Kabir Khan, Siddharth Anand, Amole Gupte, Telugu director Krish, and popular Tamil director Prabhu Solomon.
The first feature to roll out under Trinity Pictures will be director Amole Gupte's favourite genre but with a twist – a kids action film with a child secret agent at the centre of the story.
Two of Trinity's projects – based on stories organically weaving the socio-cultural worlds of India and China – will be co-produced with a leading Chinese studio. The first Indo-China co-production to roll will be a human drama exploring the central character's journey from India to China. Directed by Kabir Khan, this film is said to feature A-list cast from India and China.
Multiple award winning Tamil director Prabhu Solomon's bilingual project will be an inspiration from the quintessential super hit animal film — Haathi Mere Saathi. Shooting will take place during the monsoons across India and abroad and will be mounted on a scale with never-seen-before visual effects in this genre.
Ajit Thakur, CEO, Trinity Pictures commented,
"With Trinity, there is an effort to create something absolutely new for the Indian market, an effort in investing in creating characters that open a world of possibilities. We have writers for the first time creating characters first and then building scripts and projects around these characters. There are many firsts to Trinity and only Eros could have seen the merit in a franchise set up as this and taken the risk of making Trinity Pictures happen. We are very excited that the characters and franchises we are creating will hopefully entertain Indian audiences across platforms and well beyond the first Friday."

Finished 39 radiotherapy for tumor growing out of my prostate 5 weeks ago. Been on Degarelix for 3 years and the tumor grew during the year I was supplementing with Cosudex. Last visit to oncologist 2 weeks ago discussed docetaxel plus predisnone. Sent me for scans and further blood tests. Had the bone scan Tuesday and blood tests Wednesday. Had CT scan this afternoon. Due to scheduling I met with the Radiation Oncologist before the CT scan (meeting Oncologist next Tuesday). Results of bone scan and blood tests better than good. Most metasticizes gone! PSA down from 1.9 to 1.3. All other blood tests fine. So, the only unknown variable is the CT scan.
If that is okay, I am wondering why I would need to go on chemo? Wouldn't watchful waiting be the best option? Of course the Degarelix will continue each month.
Would appreciate some input to assist me in my deliberations.

The will to win is nothing without the will to prepare. If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail. Be prepared, so when your moment of inspiration arrives, it won't catch you by surprise. You just have to Bolieve!
*elaborate entrance, makes way to the ring*
Monday Night RAW is the summit on the top of the mountain of my dreams. On my journey to the top, I've learned that we don't conquer the mountain. We conquer ourselves. All you have to do is Bolieve!
*defeats opponent*
Thank you so much, so much, to all of my Bolievers! I couldn't have done it without you. But the truth is you don't get satisfaction from just victories. You get the satisfaction from effort. If you gave it your all, and you gave it everything you've got, you're already a winner. All you have to do … is Bolieve!
*hugs opponent, walks out*
If you're keeping track, that was three motivational speeches from Bo Dallas. That's the promo trifecta. That, my friends, is why you must Bolieve!
That also is how the Midcard Report should lead off. You know, some nice positive reinforcement before we trash about three-fourths of the matches on here.
BO DALLAS vs. SIN CARA
Sidenotes: Bo's T-shirt still has the NXT logo, and said T-shirt is absolutely soaking wet. Also, my feed was so moved by Bo's words that it froze up. Hunicara with a top rope crossbody early, but Bo's in control when they return. The announce team no-sells the entire match, which is a shame because it's not half bad! OK, maybe half. Nice series of kneedrops — the first two with a rollout, the third with a thumbs-up and a delay — but Sin Cara responds with some kicks, an enziguiri, a springboard moonsault, a backspring elbow and a Samoan drop. That's all for naught, because after snakeeyes and the Bo-Dog, it's time to Bolieve.
Time: 2:54
Technical Merit: I like the less-botchy version of Sin Cara.
Artistic Impression: I also like this version of Bo Dallas.
This may actually have been RAW's Match of the Night. Chew on that one for a second.
Good news: Both midcard singles championships are on the line in angles intended to mean something.
Bad news: We have to watch Rob Van Dam and his endless array of THE SAME MOVES THAT WOULD DO NOTHING IN REAL LIFE.
Bad News: Oh, he's right here!
ROB VAN DAM vs. CESARO (w/Paul Heyman)
It's the Heyman Invitational, as long as the No. 1 contenders for the Intercontinental and U.S. championships. But somebody's afraid he's got some more Bad News. It's summertime, so people will throw on their swimsuits and find their stomachs have expanded to roll over their waistbands. The man has a point! He has another: RVD's Indian Summer will be over after Payback. The good news? Bad News is on commentary! "It's me! It's me! It's BNB!" I'm all for a subtle DDP reference. First thing to get me to pay attention to the actual match: RVD goes for an apron moonsault, but Cesaro catches him and deposits him onto the barricade. Naturally, now that our attention is finally obtained, we go to break.
As we return on Hulu Plus, Rolling Thunder shows up. Yay. This RVD match just had something different for once: A superkick to Barrett outside. That one was legit. Van Dam is feeling froggy, but Barrett provides the distraction and Cesaro hits the bridging German for the win.
Hulu Plus time: 4:27
Technical Merit: Same old stuff, though executed OK.
Artistic Impression: Face messes with heel, face gets got. I don't mind it.
Then, for no real reason, Sheamus graces us with his presence for a Brogue Kick. That didn't feel like babyface justice; that just felt like a lame excuse to get someone on TV.
Wait … he has a match in the third hour? That's not logical! Ohhhhh Cesaro attacked him on SmackDown. (Logical) … but that would mean we would've had to watch SmackDown. (Not logical)
Anyway, it's Sheamus-ADR, part 4,863.
United States Champion SHEAMUS vs. ALBERTO DEL RIO
The champ makes this look like a glorified squash for nearly 2 minutes, until ADR recovers after being rolled back into the ring and realizes what his feet are for. Again, it's break time.
And would you look at that … we return just in time for Sheamus to hit White Noise! He sets up for the Brogue Kick, but his bell is rung. Del Rio rings it again with the enziguiri and the standing sidekick, but only gets 2. Sheamus sells concussion symptoms as ADR sets up for the cross armbreaker, but the redhead slips out and hits the Brogue Kick.
Hulu Plus time: 3:55
Technical Merit: Painfully basic and repetitive.
Artistic Impression: Dumb finish, though it sets up what happens next.
Heyman interrupts Justin Roberts' duties and promos just long enough for Cesaro to sneak in and give Sheamus a few more shots to the dome, then the Neutralizer.
What did I say earlier? Face messes with heel, face gets got. The only problem is this probably means the heel gets got Sunday. Guess we should be happy we get a halfway decent United States Championship match out of it. I'm far from sold on the Intercontinental Championship contest, but that's because RVD's involved. I haven't actually enjoyed one of his matches since … Edge won a triple-threat on RAW to take his WWE Championship in 2006? Yeah, about that far back.
We lead off Main Event with a hometown boy!
You know what that means … hometown boy's gonna lose. Sorry, Cody Rhodes.
Speaking of losses, Curtis Axel informed The Brotherhood last night that they're racking up more losses than Barry Horowitz in his prime. You know the third-generation guy's gonna know his history!
CODY RHODES (w/Goldust) vs. CURTIS AXEL (w/Ryback)
If you want a decent basic mechanic — no more, no less — Axel's your man. The man knows what he's doing in the ring and doesn't try to exceed his limits. Nice backbreaker with Cody tied up in the second rope early. Rhodes starts his comeback around 3:15 with a sunset flip, some strikes and the the trademark Ted DiBiase Jr. clothesline. He hangs Axel up in the ropes and hits a kick to the gut then, with Axel standing, he hits a moonsault for 2. For the second straight night, though, Cody Disaster Kicks someone on the apron (Ryback this time), and Axel chop blocks Cody, rolls him up and pulls the tights. The streak continues.
Time: 4:21
Technical Merit: Your basic 4-minute match where the heel wins. Nothing egregious.
Artistic Impression: I don't like the story, but it's being told OK.
You know where a Southern rapper is going to be over? Atlanta. That's why WWE decided having not one, but two, was a good idea. This actually is the best gimmick I've seen in a minute!
Yo, I roll with the sinners, but I'm praised like a saint
And when that bell rings, I go hard in the paint
When fools try to step, I start tossin'
My teeth are clean, but I still be flossin'
*R-Truth rudely interrupts*
Do you have a problem, cousin?
You're about to run up and get done up
Thuggish livin' till the end
Tell a friend
Eight bars in, D-Sizzle is better than Macklemore. Who else is better than Macklemore? EVERYBODY! I see you, Kanyon! RIP.
"D-Sizzle" DAMIEN SANDOW vs. R-TRUTH
Tom Phillips says D-Sizzle is no Machine Gun Kelly. He's right. Sizzle is better. After the Russian legsweep, "THROW YOUR HANDS IN THE AY-ER!" After the Elbow of Disdain and cover for 2, "YOU FRONT? YOU FRONT?" Unfortunately, R-Truth didn't front. He came correct and hit his finisher for the win.
*pours out some liquor for D-Sizzle*
We hardly knew ya, bro.
Time: 2:33
There's not a situation where Nikki Bella doesn't look like a porn star. Then again, isn't that kind of John Cena's thing? I guess if you want a Brazzers video come to life, you have a couple options in WWE.
Meanwhile, someone is here to actually, you know, wrestle.
NATALYA vs. BRIE BELLA (w/Nikki Bella)
Brie puts on a hammerlock and a side headlock, and she yells like she's the one taking the move. She keeps quiet for the armdrag, though, and when Nattie has her in an armlock. Brie Mode is reason alone for termination. Especially when it results in a missile dropkick. Here's our cool spot of the match: Brie locks in a half-crab, but Nattie rolls through into the Sharpshooter.
Once that happens, that's it.
Time: 3:33
Technical Merit: Brie Mode was involved. I rest my case.
Artistic Impression: If the story was Nattie comes, Nattie wins, Nattie goes to get ready for NXT Takeover, then it was great! Wait, this was about Brie? … Oh.
One good thing about Main Event is it allows for promo time with the WWE Tag Team Champions. This meant time for The Usos to make fun of The Wyatt Family's lackeys who do nothing but follow Bray Wyatt, which was done effectively. Oh, and Cena will be the last man standing. Yay.
That also means promo time for Luke Harper!
A man with nothing left to lose has nothing left to fear. He saved us. He gave us a purpose. And Usos, some bonds are much stronger than blood.
Bray takes over from there. Blah, blah, blah, I know, right? He took in Harper and Erick Rowan, and they united as brothers in the name of cause. The Usos, meanwhile, are pawns in Cena's sick little game. Since they're guilty by association, they'll burn.
WWE Tag Team Champions THE USOS vs. LUKE HARPER & ERICK ROWAN (w/Bray Wyatt)
Rowan starts the match with the mask … ? Oh, it's so Jey Uso can slap it off. I like it! Nice no-sell from Harper, which only leads to a double-team that still ends with Harper in control via dropkick.
Back from break and Rowan's back in, just in time for Jimmy Uso to tag to Jey. Rowan gets an advantage when Jey can't lift him for a Samoan drop, then Erick fallaway slams Jey, who rolls outside. That gives Harper a chance to pick away at some scraps outside after the tag before returning and tagging once more. Rest hold time! Jey kicks Rowan after escaping, but Rowan backs into Harper for the tag and Harper goes after Jimmy. Harper is a great tag-team wrestler. Harper does the Gator Roll, throwing in a couple suplexes for good measure. A second rest hold, then Jey makes the mistake of attacking Rowan. That allows Harper to hit a sitout slam, which causes Jimmy to break it up, which distracts the ref, which allows the heels to maintain control. You know, until Rowan inevitably screws it up. Missile dropkick leads to stereo tags, and Jimmy comes in hot. Jimmy can hit the Samoan drop on Harper … as well as a superkick that leads to 2. Chaos time, and the champs execute their tandem dive outside. That'll get Bray out of his seat, and he gives Harper marching orders. Jimmy goes up top, but Rowan tosses Jey into the ropes. Jimmy wobbles off the ropes, which sets up the Clothesline from Hell and the pin.
Time: 10:35
Technical Merit: These are two good tag teams. Rowan couldn't cut it in a singles capacity, but as the bumbling tag partner he's effective. Harper might be the best big man in the company at the moment, and the Usos are the best team.
Artistic Impression: The match kept The Usos intertwined in the Cena-Wyatt angle, and it sold the Wyatt Family as a stronger threat than ever to hustle, loyalty, respect, etc.

Hello world!
It's Chris Schillinger. I'd like to welcome you to my re-designed site. It's a work in progress as I hack and stumble my way through it. Eventually it will have galleries, news, a blog, a for sale section and more neatly contained within this kickass Word Press theme called Jupiter. I am slowly figuring this template out and a full example of what it can do exists here. Isn't it awesome?! Eventually this site will be a teency weency like that one! Ha! I ramble… but my SEO is telling me to add more words so Google will like my page more.
Payment for my work will eventually be offered for sale online through Paypal and Bitcoin. Yes I will accept bitcoin. I love bitcoin!

General Questions
How exactly does MARAD calculate the civil penalty? Is the penalty essentially $25,000 per day of the shipment?
MARAD views civil penalties as an absolute last resort. We are far more interested in working with agencies and their contractors/recipients to identify opportunities for compensatory cargo to be carried on U.S.-flag vessels. This corrective action is far more cost-effective for the contractor/recipient and ultimately serves the actual purposes of cargo preference – getting cargo aboard U.S.-flag vessels.
The actual amount of the civil penalty would be based upon the consideration of a number of factors:
(1) the facts underlying the specific violation,
(2) the gravity of the violation,
(3) the degree of culpability,
(4) the existence of any prior violations,
(5) the respondent's ability to pay a civil penalty,
(6) the effect of a penalty on the respondent's ability to continue to do business, and
(7) any other relevant considerations.
These factors would all be taken into consideration when setting any actual penalty for a knowing and willful cargo preference violation.
Do shippers/ suppliers have to ship on a US flagged vessel and under a US flag carrier bill of lading or can they also ship on a foreign flagged vessel under a US flag bill of lading?
Under the Cargo Preference laws and regulations, a shipper/supplier cannot ship the US flag portion of preference cargo on a foreign-flagged vessel, regardless of whether the bill of lading is issued by a foreign-flag carrier or a U.S.-flag ocean carrier. A shipper/supplier must ship the US flag portion of preference cargo via a U.S.-flag vessel, and receive the US flag carrier's master ocean bill of lading. Copies of ocean carrier master bills of lading for both US flag and foreign flag shipments should be submitted to MARAD.
Export Import Bank Questions
When should we submit the Form F and bills of lading?
Federal Regulations require submission of bill of lading copies within 20 working days of the date of loading for shipments originating in the United States, or within 30 working days for shipments originating outside the United States. For one-time Ex-Im Bank shipments, the Form F should be submitted within these parameters. For multiple shipments, The Form F should be submitted at the beginning of each calendar month and include all of the bills of lading received for the month just ending. Required to submit together. For more information on the Export-Import Bank process click here.
Please confirm that PR 17s application is restricted to EXIM Bank Cargoes which meet the current threshold of "7 years in length and USD20.0M loan amount".
- PR-17 as codified under 46 USC 55304 covers exports financed by the U.S. Government including Ex-Im Bank cargo. Ex-Im Bank is presently the only program operating under 46 USC 55304 but it is not exclusively limited to the Ex-Im Bank program.
- 46 USC 55304 technically applies to all Ex-Im Bank cargo moves however for the Loan Guarantee program a special compromise was put in place that provided for the "threshold" concept, but this is only for the Loan Guarantee program. Direct Loans require the application of the U.S.-flag requirement from the first dollar on up.
- Under the PR-17 agreement the U.S.-flag requirement is applied at 100% where it is applicable.
PR 17 had the impact of waiving the 3 year waiting period for US Flag, Foreign built vessel participation criteria and had the impact of permitting a Project Manager(NVOCC) Bill of Lading to be considered the Over Carriage Bill of Lading vs the US Flag Carrier Bill of Lading, while still maintaining the requirement to produce the US Flag Carrier Bill of Lading. (CBoggs added comments: until PR 17 was initiated, the US flag carrier ocean bl was the document required by EXIM/MARAD to validate US Flag shipping requirement; after PR 17, the project mgr, TO, PANALPINA or others could issue their own house bl as the over carriage bl supported by a US Flag ocean carrier bl as the under carriage or supporting document.
- PR 17 agreement did not waive the three (3) year waiting period, it simply did not specify that would be one.
- MARAD policy on NVOCC Bs/L requires the NVOCC B/L to supported by the underlying ocean carrier B/L
- Ex-Im Bank initially would not accept NVOCC B/L but 3-4 years ago they have changed their policy and will now accept them. The NVOCC Bs/L must be signed and dated "On Board".
PR-17 Were there other impacts concerning the US Flag Carrier eligibility and participation levels?
- The following transactions are not subject to the provisions of PR 17:
- Credit Guarantee Facilities, regardless of amount;
- Short-term insurance, regardless of amount;
- Medium-Term Insurance, regardless of amount or term;
- Guarantees of up to $20,000,000 (excluding Ex-Im Bank Exposure Fee) and the repayment period of seven (7) years or less; and
- Guarantees of up to $20,000,000 under the Environmental Exports Program, Transportation Security Export Program, or Medical Equipment Initiative, regardless of term.
PR –17 Are there any other limiting factors of US Flag Participation? US Citizenry vs Foreign Ownership?
Leaving aside the issues as to who can properly be called a U.S.-flag company, once a vessel is flagged U.S.-flag vessel the ownership structure does not affect the application of, or eligibility for, cargo preference programs.
Military Questions
Does the Cargo Preference Act of 1904 (04 Act) cover US Military cargo movements only?
Yes, the 04 Act covers military cargo movements and movements by DOD contractors and subcontractors. Specifically, 10 U.S.C. 2631 states that "Only vessels of the United States or belonging to the United States may be used in the transportation by sea of supplies bought for the Army, Navy, Army, Air Force or Marine Corps."
What is the definition of US Military (DOD) cargo?
DOD Cargo is cargo destined to or from, or routed by, the DOD with the cargo intended for use, or had been used, by the DOD.
The Cargo Preference Act of 1904 (04 Act) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement (DFARS) defines DOD Cargo as "supplies". "Supplies" means all property, except land and interests in land, that is clearly identifiable for eventual use by or owned by the DoD at the time of transportation by sea. "Supplies" includes (but is not limited to) public works; buildings and facilities; ships; floating equipment and vessels of every character, type, and description, with parts, subassemblies, accessories, and equipment; machine tools; material; equipment; stores of all kinds; end items; construction materials; and components of the foregoing. (DFARS 252.247-7023 Transportation of Supplies by Sea).
Does US Military (DOD) cargo include Military Household Goods (HHGs) and service members Privately Owned Vehicles (POVs)?
Yes, Military HHGs and POV's move under laws similar to the 1904 Act. For example, House Hold Goods (HHG's) are covered under 46 U.S.C. 55302 requiring all government personnel to ship personal effects aboard U.S.-flag ships when available. POV's are covered under the similar 46 U.S.C. 55303
What percentage of US Military (DOD) cargo must be shipped on US Flag vessels?
Cargo Preference Act of 1904 cargo (military supplies) . . . 100%. This has also been extended to military HHGs and POVs, if U.S.-flag ships are available. The regulations implementing the 100% U.S.-flag requirements of the Cargo Preference Act of 1904 (10 U.S.C. 2631) can be found at DEFENSE FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SUPPLEMENT (DFARS) 247.5 (instructions for Contracting Officers) and at DFARS 252.247-7023 (instructions for contractors), which is made clause in every DOD contract in which transportation of supplies by sea may occur.
Can the U.S.-flag vessel requirement be waived?
Yes, however only the DOD contracting officer can waive the requirement for U.S.-flag vessels. The conditions under which a waiver can be granted are described in DFARS 252.247-7023. If you have questions on the waiver process, please contact the Maritime Administration at 202-366-4610, press 4 for the Department of Defense team.
FMF Questions
Does it include FMF (for Foreign Military Financed by U.S) Cargo?
No. FMF cargo and Excess Defense Articles (EDA) provide to a foreign country comes under the 1954 ACT. Regs covering FMF as administered by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency are found under the SAMM. There is now FMF cargo moving outside of the DSCA program and this is generally referred to as "pseudo-FMF".
Agricultural Questions
It is reported that the 1954 ACT identifies US Flag Shipping requirements for other US Government owned or otherwise controlled Cargo shipments. Can you identify those agencies and the requirements?
46 CFR 381.2 details the application of the Cargo Preference Act of 1954 and offers a list of potential agencies that are subject to the ACT. The list is not complete and is, for example, missing DHS as a new agency. And it includes the U.S. Post Office which is no longer subject to the ACT. But otherwise the list is representative.
As a general rule, the 1954 ACT applies to all U.S. Government entities. The 1954 ACT in implemented through FAR and the cargo preference regulations. DOD is first subject to the Cargo Preference ACT of 1904 and the DEFENSE FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SUPPLEMENT (DFARS).
Requirements are essentially the same with two notable exceptions, both for reasons independent of the 54 ACT:
- Foreign Military Financed U.S. (FMF) – in addition to the 50% U.S.-flag required under the 54 ACT, there is an added 50% required under the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) regulations as found in the Security Assistance Management Manual (SAMM)
- Ex-Im Bank – EXIM operates under Public Resolution 17 (PR-17) that calls for 100% of a portion of the Banks traffic whereas the '54 Act calls for 50% of all traffic.
Based upon US Flag, US Built and US Flag, Foreign Built concepts are the eligibility standards the same?
46 USC 55305 specifies that vessels built or rebuilt outside of the U.S. , or vessels documented under the laws of a foreign country are not qualified vessels.
- U.S.-flag /U.S. build is eligible.
- Foreign flag/foreign build is not eligible.
- Foreign flag/foreign build reflagging under U.S. will be under the 3 year wait.
- Foreign flag/U.S. build reflagging under U.S. will also be under the 3 year wait.
Are there any differences relative to when a vessel becomes eligible after US Flagging?
- No.
Some agencies indicate that unless there is specific legislation to modify the eligibility, that US Flag, Foreign Built must always going thru a 3 year wait to be eligible to lift US Flag Preference cargo with three exceptions-MSA/MSP, specific legislative exceptions on a once off basis-ie the constructed Liberty Bulk Vessels whose eligibility rights were purchased from ISH, or PR17?
- Vessels under MSP are not bound by the 3 year rule.
- Vessel seized by the U.S. Government and then purchased for commercial service are also not bound by the 3 year rule.
What is the process to accomplish a General Waiver vs a Specific Voyage Waiver?
- General Waiver
- Under the PR-17 Program a General waiver can be requested by any of the specific credit stakeholders but must be under the acknowledged routing control of a U.S. located party.
- For General waivers we require that the recipient nation has not discriminated against any U.S.-flag carrier operation.
- General waivers are Ex-Im Bank credit specific and run the length of the credit.
- General waivers require 50% U.S.-flag and 50% recipient nation flag but U.S.-flag portion is to move first.
- Other Waivers
- All other PR–17 waivers are incident specific.
- We do not use the term "voyage waiver" since the incident specific waivers can and do sometimes span several voyages.
- Other waivers could cover more than one voyage
Are the US Flag Carrier participation levels the same for a "Loan, Grant or Guarantee"? (C Boggs clarifies "is there a difference in the flag requirement of a grant vs. a loan vs a guarantee"?
- Under an Ex-Im Bank direct loan U.S.-flag participation is 100% with no eligibility threshold.
- Under an Ex-Im Bank loan guarantee U.S.-flag participation is at 100% but only for loans that are in excess of $20 million or 7 years in length.
- There are no Grant programs under the Ex-Im Bank structure.
Would there be any negative impacts on the eligibility of US Flag vessel % of participation in the EXIM Program if PR 17 were to be permitted to expire?
- A number of studies have been done as to which program would yield better results but the results of the studies are inconclusive as accurate data on the full range of Ex-Im Bank potential is not available.
Under what authority is a compensatory waiver permitted?
- Waivers under the PR-17 program are issued under the MARAD statement of Policy
The MSA established a criteria and subsidy for eligibility and selection by the US Military to utilize(have access to privately owned) US Flag vessel asset and infrastructure. It established US citizenry and non-US Citizenry ownership processes.
Leaving aside the waiving of the 3 year wait for Foreign Built, US Flag Vessels eligibility were there other significant implications brought about by MSA?
Yes, it…
(1) it established the MSA, Section 17, Great Lakes Program application to the Title II Cargoes;
(2) exempted MSP vessels from participation in PL480 Bulk Commodities Lift and
(3) capped the single voyage lift of PL480 Cargo at a level not to exceed 7500mt for MSP vessels.
Did MSA exempt all MSP vessels from the 3-year waiting period with all cargoes moving in conjunction with the 1954 ACT?
- Yes.
Does the "BY Country, By Program, By Vessel Type" criteria apply only to PL480 cargo shipments?
- 54 Act / non food aid – we monitor by Program by Country. We assume all cargo moving essentially by "dry cargo Liner" and o not monitor by vessel type.
What is the Small Vessel Waiver Program –This program is essentially an administrative waiver of the U.S.-build requirement of the Jones Act.
Why do I need the waiver?
This waiver is required to obtain a coastwise endorsement from the U.S. Coast Guard. This endorsement is needed for foreign vessels or vessels of unknown build to operate in the U.S. as commercial passenger vessels.
How do I apply for the waiver?
Applicants should apply on-line at MarAd's website:
What is the process?
There are eligibility requirements for a vessel to qualify for a waiver under this program:
- The vessel must be at least three years old
- The vessel, when in service, cannot carry more than 12 passengers
- The intended use must be to carry passengers only. Activities such as carriage of cargo, commercial fishing, towing, dredging, and salvage do not qualify for this program. Sport fishing is permitted as long as any fish caught are not sold commercially.
- The vessel must be owned by a U.S. citizen The application fee for the small vessel waiver is $500.00 and the waiver process takes approximately two-three months. I have a waiver for one vessel that I own and plan on purchasing another boat to operate in the same area. Do I need a waiver for the new boat? The waiver will transfer and stay with the boat. However, the terms of the waiver will limit the area of operation to that listed on the waiver. If you intend to operate in a state not listed on the waiver, you will need to obtain a waiver. I currently have a waiver for my boat that I operate in Florida. I want to be also able to operate commercially in Puerto Rico. Can you issue a new letter or do I need to submit an application? —
- You will need to submit a new application to include Puerto Rico or any other state not listed on the original waiver letter.
- I am thinking of purchasing a boat and the current owner tells me they have a small vessel waiver. Will I need to apply for a new waiver if I purchase this boat and rename it?
- Yes, a separate waiver is required for each boat
- Is there a cost and how long does the process take?
- Once the application is completed and the application fee is paid, MARAD will process and review the application. A notice will be published in the Federal Register for a period of 30 days to allow public comment. At the end of that period and assuming no comments are received, the waiver letter will be prepared. After review and signature, the effective date of the waiver is the 6th working day after date of signature. The original letter will be mailed to the applicant and a signed pdf copy will be e-mailed to the applicant. The applicant's next step would be to contact the U.S. Coast Guard National Vessel Documentation Center to obtain a coastwise endorsement.

Mrs Augusta Osuya, Development Finance Officer (DFD), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has warned that commercial banks that diverted Federal Government's Agriculture loans, meant for farmers would be sanctioned.
She gave the warning in Port Harcourt on Monday during the sensitisation workshop on the need to diversify from oil economy to agriculture.
The workshop was organised by CBN in collaboration with Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Rivers Command.
According to her, CBN is determined to monitor the disbursement of the lending facility meant for the farmers.
"No bank will toil with Federal Government agriculture loan. CBN will monitor the loan and query erring banks," she said.
Osuya noted that agriculture loans was more beneficial and cheaper, adding that on completion of repayment, CBN would refund 40 per cent of the interest paid on the loan to the beneficiary.
She said that investment in agriculture was the only business civil servants were allowed to do by the Code of Conduct Bureau, to boost food production and food security.
She urged beneficiaries from the NSCDC personnel to take advantage of the loan.
Contributing, Rev. Roland Brown, Chairman, All Farmers Association ON Nigeria (AFAN), Rivers branch, said the association would subsidise the cost of land farming, among others.
Also speaking, Mrs Rita Timothy Assistant Commandant, NSCDC and Head, Agro-Allied Ranger Department, said the department had identified talented farmers among NSCDC personnel in the command.

Beyond Culture: Communicating with Asian American Children and Families. ERIC/CUE Digest Number 94.
Huang, Gary
To explore the complexities of communication with Asian and Pacific Islander (API) children and their families, this digest describes the overt and covert dimensions of the various API cultures, and discusses API's socioeconomic background and the life experiences that affect their communication behavior. The general ethnic groups in the API community are Pacific Islanders (mainly Hawaiians, Samoans, and Guamanians), Southeast Asians (mostly Indochinese from Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos, and including Burmese and Filipinos), and East Asians (Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans). It is important not to generalize an understanding of one group to another, and educators must identify differences in order to devise appropriate communication strategies. Overt culture includes belief systems and language, aspects of a culture that can be easily identified and studied. Covert culture is more subtle, and encompasses such aspects as the conception of time and communication. Suggestions are given for practitioners to enhance communication through the following: (1) personal reflection; (2) partnerships with community organizations; (3) information gathering; (4) parent involvement; (5) overcoming stereotypes of APIs; and (6) accurate evaluation of individual children. (Contains 18 references.) (SLD)

Supporting people affected by cancer in their social and professional life-The SPAC project aims to increase the social and professional integration of people with cancer, to reduce their and their families' distress by empowering persons involved with people with cancer (caregivers, psychologists, medical staff, social workers, voluntaries, employers) with professional information about cancer and the impact of living and working with cancer by using ICT tool and social networking. The project will create a positive and stimulating environment to improve the coping process of persons with cancer and improve their chances to reenter social and professional life. A network of "circles of trust" will be created to reduce social and emotional isolation of the persons diagnosed with cancer. The target groups are: people with cancer and people in contact with people with cancer (caregivers, psychologists, medical staff, social worker, voluntaries and employers) over age 15.
Cancer is a disease that induces a very strong stress because it is perceived as a death sentence. Although discovered cures for this disease, the perception remained at the society level. The cancer has become the second cause of mortality in 2013, behind cardiovascular diseases. Less focus is put on the effects of cancer on living conditions in general and on work in particular.
..see more Staying in work is essential for most people of working age for maintaining a decent standard living, sustain social acquaintances and self-esteem and feeling useful as an individual. Although the incidence of cancer is one big social level still remain nuanced forms of stigmatization, which vary in intensity. In many cases this disease experience involves a redefinition of relationships with others and a sudden reconfirmation of the circle of friends, some of them adopting a defensive attitude limitation or avoidance of people diagnosed with cancer. People diagnosed with cancer feel the need to communicate and interact with those in similar situations, sensitivity and responsiveness to their life stories and experiences of having a dual dimension: informational and therapeutic. Efficient communication and provision of information to cancer patients and their families about their illness, treatment choices, and potential outcomes improve psychosocial outcomes. It is known that the mental state of a person diagnosed contribute substantially to improving his health or can worsening the disease. In recent years, technological and organizational innovations, determined a very wide use of the Internet, mobile devices,2.0 Web tools that increase the access to knowledge and training for individuals, from formal courses to informal ad hoc learning. ..see less
The Partnership consists of 6 organizations:
3 Non-governmental organizations:
- Institutul Postliceal Phoenix( RO)- partner coordinator,
-APSCO-Asociatia pentru Servicii si Comunicare in Oncologie(RO),
- Fondatione ANT Italia Onulus( IT);
1 vocational education centre:
- Rize Anadolu Saglik Meslek Lisesi( TR);
1 university:
- UMF Cluj-Napoca (RO);
- Institut INPRO a.s,(CZ).
They have been selected in accordance with their expertise in the major thematic areas of the project and experience in similar transnational projects. All of them have vested interest in project topics with view to reach target groups/final beneficiaries.

Finally, after all those years (1; 2; 3; 4), some abbreviated news from Flickr/Getty:
"Since the Flickr Collection's debut in March 2009, more than 100,000 images have been made available for customers to license. These pictures were taken by 10,000 photogs in more than 100 countries, all of whom are active in the Flickr community. But what if you've found the perfect image on Flickr and it's not part of the collection?"
"In the past, images were added to the collection in two ways: by invitation after a Getty Images editor reviewed your public images or through the 'Call to Artists' program (launched in November 2009).
"Through the program, potential customers will see a 'Request to License via Getty Images' option on imagery by Flickr artists who have opted into the program."
"Once requested, Getty Images will contact the Flickr member and handle all of the details like permissions, releases and pricing. You can read more about it here on Flickr's blog."
"So, while Getty Images expert editors continue to add more images to the Flickr Collection on Getty Images from the four billion created by Flickr's community, customers can now browse Flickr to find exactly what they need for their campaign and use it legally – all through the Request to License feature."
- Flickr Clouds from Getty Images (June 28, 2009)
- Getty Images and Flickr launch the Flickr Collection (March 11, 2009)
- Building the Flickr Collection on Getty Images (Jan. 23, 2009)
- "Request to License" via Getty Images is here! (Flickr blog, also on the Getty blog)
- Getty taps into Flickr snappers (BBC yesterday):
"Neither Getty nor Flickr were forthcoming about actual rates saying they vary from job to job but are industry standard. It is generally thought the average rate for an image is between $150-$240 (£100-£160). Hal Bergman, a full-time photographer, said he is concerned about opening up the floodgates."
Well, "industry standard", hahaha.... :-D .... now we have a two-tier system with microstockers selling at micro prices and the true crowd behind Flickr selling for "industry standard" rates.
- Flickr-Getty deal gets new photo sales option (Stephen Shankland today):
"It's not clear, though, what standards Getty will use for the licensing program even if a customer wants a photo."

You are using the bitnami stack, and perhaps the rubygems version is too old (not sure why they are still back at 1.0.1). But, here is some info that may help:

Yes Chad your are correct. Once I did a non-bitbnami install I was able to install the plugins without a hitch.
Thank you.

Blow Out
And I'm not talkin about that sweet show on Bravo!
Hello Mets fans. VZ here, reporting live from my bed at Flushing Medical Center. I'll be the first to admit, this has gotta be one of the worst cases of tennis elbow, ever. It started acting up during a few matches at the Hugo Chavez Open right before spring training. Doubt most of you knew I was an avid tennis player. Gotta stay in shape during the off season. I was pretty good in that tourney. My serves were up near 100mph. Sent one of the ball boys home with a black eye. Anyway, the pain seemed to die down after that and I was good to go for the first few weeks of the season. I felt something early Saturday morning but thought I could play through it. After I struckout Andruw "They didn't teach me how to spell Andrew in the Netherlands" Jones, I figured I should get a second opinion. When I got to the locker room, my elbow was the size of a watermelon. Jose threw up in his glove. I didnt even know he had one.
Official word is not good. The tendon in my elbow is shot and I'm done for the year. Just when I was getting back on track. Stay tuned folks, I dont know how this injury will affect my ability to continue with this blog. I dont want to get carpal tunnel from all the typing. Counting my $3 million for the year already took quite a toll on the old digits.

Three lucky Digicel customers will win the ultimate prize of an all-expense-paid trip for two to Brazil this August, with the launch of the Digicel Sprint to Brazil promotion.
This once-in-a-lifetime experience will also come with exclusive access to signed memorabilia from Digicel brand ambassadors Usain Bolt and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, tickets to the races, plus Digicel smartphones for the winners to capture every moment of their adventure of a lifetime in Brazil.
"This August, Brazil will be the place to be and we want to reward our customers by giving them the chance to take this memorable adventure on us," said Michelle Anderson, director of distribution and retail channels at Digicel.
"We're always looking for ways to energise our customers' experience with Digicel, so with all the excitement coming up in Brazil, we knew this would be something amazing for six lucky ones this season."
In addition to the three grand prizes, the promotion will award weekly winners of Samsung Smart TVs, DL1000 smartphones, data plans and daily prizes of credit. Customers will also be able to enter the competition through a variety of channels-by topping up with $200 or more, activating a two-day data plan or higher, talking for 10 minutes or more on their postpaid phones, or paying their 4G broadband bills on time and in full.
Social media fans and customers receiving top-ups of at least US$10 from the US, UK or Canada will also be able to qualify for any of the prizes in the promotion, which runs from today to June 9.

Hendrik Van Dorp IV
Milo and Kyra had been friends ever since they were brought into the amazing world of gumballs. They did everything together. They were even born at the same time. Not from the same mother, of course. That would be extremely painful and probably impossible. They went gumballing together, played gumball together, had gumball fights with each other, hosted gumball tea parties and invited their gumdolls, of course, and feasted on gumballs as much as possible. There was never a shortage of gumballs in their life.
Gumball World was a marvelous and magical place. The sun was always shining, and there were never any clouds, except for an occassional spot or two. The grass was as green as green could be, and tasted of sugar and maple leaf tea. Sparkling ponds, full of water that was more pure than the color white, were scatterd throughout Gumball World, with many small creatures calling it home.
The most magnificent part of Gumball World were the gumball trees. They towered over everything, with their tall, dark brown trunks covered in bark that could not be penetrated by the most powerful gumbullet. Although, there were no gumbullets because there was no need for violence or murder in Gumball World. The strong, dark trunks of the gumball trees sored into the skies and flowed into beautiful green leaves surrounded by more gumballs than any Gumballian could ever count. There were gumballs of every size and color. There were giant gumballs that the branches could barely hold, and there were miniature gumballs that you could fit into your nose. There were green apple gumballs, bitter lemon gumballs, blueberry gumballs, jazzberry gumballs, and any kind of gumballs anyone could ever imagine.
One beautiful, sunny afternoon, Milo and Kyra were wondering through the gumball forrest, snacking on gumballs as they usually did. All of a sudden, an idea sprang up into Kyra's imaginative brain.

Towards Mount Brandon (From Clogher Head)
(11" x 14" Oil on Board)
Just as I was finishing, it stopped raining and I could see a lot of clear weather heading my way. The weather forecast proved to be completely wrong, as it turned into a beautiful day. I decided to head back to Clogher Strand, where I had painted the previous day, but this time I went further out along the cliff - the sea had calmed down enough to make it safe to do so.
Sunny Afternoon, Near Clogher Strand
(10" x 12" Oil on Board)
I was feeling fairly tired by late afternoon, so I decided not to go too far, so just up the headland (An Drom) and liked the light looking West towards Inis Tuaisceart, the most Northerly of the Blasket Islands.

I had quite a busy day today. I cleaned up my husband's bathroom and my son Charles really wanted to help. It is funny though while I was cleaning the tub and he said, I can take care of this mommy. Charles wants to help all the time but I'm sure when he gets a little older he won't help me anymore. When I was dusting the floor he got his hockey stick and when I asked him what you are doing? He replied I'm vacuuming the floor. My son makes me laughed all the time. He is just very happy little guy and think outside the box. Well, it looks like my adorable son will not take his nap so better get off in here and prepare the stuff before I started cooking for our dinner.

When many people think of the network "BBC" (British Broadcasting Corporation), we think of Idris Elba and his hit series, "Luther." While Elba has become an internationally renowned actor and musician, he isn't too big to address the lack of diversity within tv and film in the UK.
The "Beasts Of No Nation" star recently addressed over 100 U.K. politicians including culture minister Ed Vaizey, and senior television executives. In a speech, he implored them to evaluate how they can make the British entertainment industry more diverse and reflective of the real world.
"There's an even bigger gap between people who make TV, and people who watch TV. I should know, I live in the TV world. And although there's a lot of reality TV, TV hasn't caught up with reality. Change is coming, but it's taking its sweet time," said Elba.
He also shared that he made a conscious decision to leave London for New York in the 1990s where he knew he would have a better chance at scoring leading roles in television and film.
The former star of "The Wire" went on to say, "I knew there wasn't enough imagination in the industry for me to be seen as a lead. In other words, if I wanted to star in a British drama like Luther, then I'd have to go to a country like America. And the other thing was, because I never saw myself on TV, I stopped watching TV. Instead I decided to just go out and become TV."
He also echoed the sentiments of Viola Davis' Emmy award speech when she said, "…the only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity."
Elba similarly said, "When you don't reflect the real world, too much talent gets trashed. Thrown on the scrapheap. Talent is everywhere, opportunity isn't. And talent can't reach opportunity."
Beauties, do you think A-list actors' acknowledgment of the lack of diversity in the media makes a difference to the studios, casting directors, agents and directors who ultimately decide who will get the acting roles and awards?

Paths or Fences: Patents, Copyrights, and the Constitution
I have a draft article up on SSRN, titled "Paths or Fences: Patents, Copyrights, and the Constitution" (forthcoming Iowa Law Review). Here's the abstract:
Congressional power over patents and copyrights flows from the same constitutional source, and the doctrines have similar missions. Yet the Supreme Court has approached these areas from distinctly different angles. With copyright, the Court readily employs constitutional analysis, building fences to constrain Congress. With patent, it emphasizes statutory interpretation, demarcating paths the legislature can follow, or deviate from (potentially at its constitutional peril). This Article uses empirical and quantitative analysis to show this divergence. It offers two potential explanations, one based on entitlement strength, the other grounded in public choice concerns. Next, the Article explores border cases where the Court could have used either fences or paths, demonstrating the effects of this pattern. It sets out criteria that the Court should employ in choosing between these approaches: countermajoritarian concerns, institutional competence, pragmatism, and avoidance theory. The Article argues that the key normative principle is that the Court should erect fences when cases impinge on intellectual property's core constitutional concerns – information disclosure for patent and information generation for copyright. It concludes with two examples where the Court should alter its approach based on this principle.
Feedback is warmly welcomed!

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) / Action-Adventure
MPAA Rated: PG for violence and disturbing images (would definitely be PG-13 today, and in fact, partly led to its creation)
Running Time: 118 min.
Cast: Harrison Ford, Kate Capshaw, Jonathan Ke Quan, Amrish Puri, Roshan Seth
Director: Steven Spielberg
Screenplay: Willard Huyck, Gloria Katz
Review published January 5, 2003
While on the whole not really a bad film, it's still a giant leap down from the inspired intelligence that was the driving force behind the crowd-pleasing Raiders of the Lost Ark. It seems this time around, Spielberg (1941, Close Encounters) and co. decided to take the scenes that provoked the most audience reaction in Raiders and give us nothing but that for two hours straight. More humor, more stunts, more creepy creatures, and more gore. If there's a lesson that can be learned from Temple of Doom, it's that less is more, as the cheap laughs and the pervasive nastiness runs rampant all over what could have been another winning adventure if played with a subtle hand.
While a sequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark, it's really a prequel, set in 1935, several years before. Indiana Jones (Ford, Return of the Jedi) finds himself in Hong Kong on the hunt for a precious diamond, but gets in over his head, chased out of town with his assistant, a young boy nicknamed Short Round (Quan, The Goonies), and Willie (Capshaw, Dreamscape), a ditzy, blonde, nightclub singer. Having to make a hasty exit from a crashing airplane, Indy and friends find themselves in a starving village in India, who see their visitors as saviors destined to save their children who they believe have been taken away by resurrected forces of evil at a formerly abandoned palace. The trio set off for the palace in search of lost children, a sacred stone...and fortune and glory.
Summing up why Temple of Doom is still a worthwhile watch despite its considerable flaws is easy. We like the character of Indiana Jones, and with Harrison Ford's charisma taking center stage, it's hard not to be entertained a good part of the time. The special effects are just as impressive as the first time around, absorbing the viewer in with lavish sights, sounds, and sets. The stunt work is also up to the high standards set in Raiders, with lots of fistfights, falls, and good choreography. Of course, John Williams (E.T., The Empire Strikes Back) provides another memorable score, adding its own unique flavor with an Indian flair, in addition to the usual Indy theme.
Still, all of this is just bells and whistles, and not necessarily the only ingredients if you want to make a good film. Even with the high production value and the immense talent involved, where the producers erred is in thinking audiences wanted more action, more thrills, more scares, and more danger than before, and in the process, the subtle touches and wry intelligence have been replaced by bloated spectacles, cartoonish situations, and a largely depressing subtext involving child slavery and gory masochistic rituals that undercut much of the fun and excitement. There's a hokey quality that runs throughout Temple that was mostly missing in Raiders, made infinitely worse by some terrible characterizations, most notably with Willie, played with maximum shrill by future Spielberg wife, Kate Capshaw.
However, there are the elements and scenes that make Temple of Doom worth every penny of the price of admission. From the lush opening musical number, to the thrilling mine car race, and the exhilarating rope-bridge showdown, there's a lot to like in between some of the missteps. It delivers on entertainment, albeit with quite a bit of overhead, and if that's all you expect, Temple of Doom gives you enough laughs, chills, and thrills to warrant multiple viewings, as long as your expectations are sufficiently low enough.

Adnams Rye Malt Whisky, 47% abv, 70 cl
Adnams Rye Malt Whisky, 47% abv, 70 cl
Made with rye grown just one mile from our distillery, our Adnams Rye Whisky has lovely aromas of warm vanilla, raisin fudge and black peppercorns with a smooth, rich and spicy palate.
Our new whisky has been made using rye grown by Jonathan Adnams at his farm in Reydon, just a few miles away from our brewery and distillery in Southwold. Made from 75% rye and 25% barley, rye is a complex grain that creates a thick, syrup-like 'mash' due to its protein structure and ability to retain water. Rye creates a whisky with great depth and character with with a drier and spicier finish. Our Rye Whisky has spent at least five years in brand new French oak barrels before bottling. Serve neat with a splash of water or as an 'Old Fashioned' cocktail made with the Rye Whisky, angostura bitters and a brown sugar lump.
