I saw Man in the Middle with my dad at the old Rio Theater in Downtown
Miami City in 1964. I was just a child, but I still remember the
shocking scene in the beginning of the film where Keenan Wynn's
character walks into a packed army tent and shoots a young soldier to
Filmed in black and white, the film was extremely well-acted and filmed. Robert Mitchem was outstanding as the officer in charge of defending Wynne and trying to determine just why he murdered this young soldier. However, the show is stolen by Keenan Wynn and he gives his greatest screen performance.
Man in the Middle rates a 10 out of 10.
"Man In The Middle" (1964) is arguably Mitchum's best performance
(certainly his most nuanced) and one of those situations where you
can't imagine anyone else in the role. Although the focus is a
"military" court martial in India during the last months of WWII, it is
basically a standard courtroom drama with Mitchum's character playing
the defense counsel. The actual proceeding is very similar to that
shown in "The Caine Mutiny" (1954). With a running length of just 93
minutes and a relatively complex story to tell, Director Guy Hamilton
had to utilize a lot of stereotypes and nonverbal clues from Mitchum to
assemble a coherent film. He is largely successful although it appears
a lot of the romantic side story (between Mitchum and "South Pacific's
France Nuyen) was trimmed before release. That is of little importance
to the theme, what was left works mainly as a way to go out on
Mitchum's closing line "you might not be able to beat them but you
don't have to join them".
Out of combat, recovering from his wound, a limping career Army lieutenant colonel with a law degree and limited legal experience finds himself assigned to defend an American officer (Lt. Winston-played by Keenan Wynn) who has already confessed to the murder of a British Staff Sergeant. In fact, the film opens with the murder so the viewer is never in doubt about the "who done it" issue. All that remains is the punishment phase of the proceeding. Winston's brother-in-law is a congressman who has rejected several other potential defense counsels but has agreed to Mitchum's appointment. The area commander (nicely played by Barry Sullivan) wants the proceeding expedited ASAP with a death sentence, the best way to satisfy the British so everyone can go back to pulling together. He is a friend of Mitchum's family and is confident that Mitchum will take one for the team and do what is best for the war effort.
And at first Mitchum seems quite agreeable to the idea of providing no more than a token defense; pointing out to the two hot shot attorneys on his defense team that in a few months they will be back practicing law as civilians while he has found a home in the Army and does not want this to louse up his career. He has only been given a few days to assemble his case anyway.
But as he reviews the circumstances and interviews a few people he becomes convinced that his client is a psychological basket case who was unable to determine right from wrong at the time of the murder. There is no time for the film to explore the origins of Lt. Winstons's mental condition and no time to give any dimensionality to his character. Nor is it actually of any real relevance to the story Director Guy Hamilton is trying to tell, so Winston is simplistically portrayed as a totally unsympathetic character. Unlike in "A Few Good Men" (1992), it is intended that the viewer conclude that just going through the motions would really be in the best interests of everyone except the defendant.
Mitchum is on the screen 90% of the time and is the only character that undergoes any real change during the course of the film. And Mitchum must underplay the change process because the idea is to show that if the Army had not tried to hinder his efforts, he would never have put so much energy into the defense. It is a great nonverbal performance as Mitchum slowly gets his back up about what is happening and decides that personal integrity trumps career aspirations. Somewhat cliché and with the score more appropriate to an overwrought melodrama, it is a nice illustration of the condensed storytelling process of films.
Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.
This movie shows what a fine and underrated actor Keenan Wynn was. His
performance is sublime.
The story itself is very believable and convincing; adapted from the fine novel The Winston Affair by Howard Fast.
Robert Mitchem gives an excellent performance as does Leslie Howard.
This film addresses many issues of race and responsibility in a much better fashion than most newer films.
Unfortunately the film is not available on video. If you get a chance to see it take the chance! You will not regret it.

This was a very good film---and I think better than the current
mediocre rating on IMDb. Perhaps a lot of the reason I liked this one
is that I used to be a psychotherapist--and I loved the psychological
angle of this film. Considering that it's a Robert Mitchum film, I am
pretty surprised that it isn't more well-known.
The film begins in WWII with an officer (Keenan Wynn) marching into another soldier's tent and killing him--right in front of many witnesses! This killing seemed pretty mindless and you have no idea what motivated such actions. The scene then switches--Wynn is awaiting trial and Robert Mitchum has been asked to defend the guy in a court martial. However, it's fascinating that Wynn's superiors basically tell him that Wynn is guilty and WILL be executed--and the defense of him in court is merely a formality! And, to make things worse, the murder victim was a Brit--and the Americans don't want to upset their ally. At first, Mitchum is willing enough just to go through the motions--especially when he finds Wynn to be an obnoxious jerk when he tries to meet with him. But, later, he slowly starts to realize that Wynn might be insane--and executed a man with this diminished capacity might be wrong. But, he also knows it might be career suicide to buck the system.
The plot is very interesting and I enjoyed the film--and much of it was because it was so different. One minor problem, though, was the character played by Frances Nuyen. Her character seemed underdeveloped and her actions at the end of the film made little sense. I felt sorry for her, as she just wasn't given a role with any depth--which is bad when her role is so prevalent in the movie. Still, aside from this it's a dandy film.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
In the musical "South Pacific", the character of Lt. Joseph Cable
teaches French plantation owner Emile DeBeque that you've got to be
taught to be prejudice. It doesn't come naturally. "It's got to be
drummed in your dear little ear", he sings. What then makes a white man
so filled with prejudice that he'll shoot another white man in cold
blood just to keep the white race clean? Is that man psychotic or so
filled with what he's been taught that he felt what he was doing was
justified? That's the story here. Set in India during World War II,
this film focuses on the hatred from an American Lieutenant (Keenan
Wynn) who shoots a British NCO in cold blood, later we find out,
because the man was in danger of "destroying the white race by mixing
his blood with that of a black woman".
Attorney Robert Mitchum is assigned to the case, at first he thinks to be a prosecutor, but later he finds out to be the defense. Mitchum knows he is simply a puppet to prevent any issues between the British and American Governments for this murder, and that Wynn is sure to get the death penalty. He decides to do what he can to be more than just a mouthpiece sure to loose, and finds out in interviewing a few witnesses that Wynn showed signs of insanity. That becomes his goal: to save Wynn from hanging (and himself) by declaring that he is insane. The problem? Wynn is so sure of his justification of murder in preserving the race that he refuses to consider being called insane.
Mitchum is excellent as he prepares his case, but it is Wynn who wins the acting honors, at first only interested in rye bread over the wheat toast he's been given at breakfast, then apologizing to Mitchum so he can explain why he did what he did. That makes his character even more scary, because his justification not only of murder but his hatred of non-whites makes him exactly the type of enemy that the Allies were fighting the war for. Frances Nuyen is very pretty as the Chinese/French nurse Mitchum briefly becomes involved in, not quite the delicate doll she appears at first sight to be, but still very feminine and charming. Keep the room around you totally silent when Wynn explodes in the courtroom scene. Barry Sullivan and Trevor Howard also give outstanding performances, and Guy Hamilton's direction is tight, direct and basically flawless. Many movies of the 1960's were made to wake people up to the social issues which came out of World War II, the Korean War, and the upcoming Vietnam War. This is one not worth missing.
There is not a player worth their talent who does not eventually want
to do a role in a courtroom drama. The sad thing is that Robert Mitchum
got his turn in court in Man In The Middle.
Not that it's a bad role or a bad performance that Mitchum turns in. But ultimately you don't really care what happens to the victim here, an insane and racist army lieutenant played by Keenan Wynn who coldbloodedly shot down a British sergeant in the China-Burma-India theater of World War II.
It's the nationalities here, the American Army in the spirit of interallied cooperation just wants to get Wynn quickly convicted and hung in a proficient military manner. General Barry Sullivan has gotten Mitchum to be the defense lawyer with then presumption that because Mitchum is from a military family he will do the right thing by the army's standards.
But an army nurse and an army psychiatrist played by France Nuyen and Sam Wanamaker make him see that Wynn needs the best defense. The army has suppressed a report where Wanamaker has clearly stated that Wynn is certifiable, but the medical corps have deep sixed the report and Wanamaker. Doing that bit of dirty work is Alexander Knox.
What's keeping this thing alive is Wynn's unseen brother-in-law a Congressman. That will usually do it with the military.
The film was partially shot on location in New Delhi and the biggest problem on set according to Robert Mitchum's biographer Lee Server was keeping Trevor Howard away from the booze. Howard is in the film as well as a British psychiatrist and apparently at the time he was heavily drinking and he couldn't hold the liquor as well as Mitch. Not that he didn't stop trying. The biography goes into what must have been a hilarious scene where the director is trying to tell a drunken Howard on the set to change some mismatching socks which even a black and white camera could pick up.
Man In The Middle is well made and the performances sincere by the players. But in the end I really could not care what the army did with Keenan Wynn.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
It sounds good. An American officer, Keenan Wynn, shoots a British
sergeant in India during the war and is put on trial for his life.
Everyone seems anxious to hang Wynn, get over this international
incident that is somehow impeding the war effort.
Robert Mitchum is assigned the task of defending Wynn. His superiors urge him to fail, and there may be a promotion in it if Wynn hangs. The problem is that Wynn, though pronounced sane by an inefficient doctor, seems to be nuts. When he's not sitting mute, with his lips clenched, staring unblinkingly ahead, he erupts like a pustule and begins running around spewing racial epithets and accusing others of stealing from him.
It puts Mitchum in a quandary. He can go with the flow, follow the hypothetical imperative, and put up a lazy defense so that Wynn hangs and he, Mitchum, become a full bird colonel. Or he can follow a moral imperative and try to see that justice is done, in which case he himself can look forward to a career in the Army that is a dead end.
Yes, it sounds good. Directed by Guy ("Bond, James Bond") Hamilton, shot more or less on location, with Mitchum, Wynn, Trevor Howard, and other respected actors.
Lamentably, it looks like not much more than a variation on "The Caine Mutiny Court Martial." France Nguyen is thrown in gratuitously in order to prove that Mitchum is heterosexual, I guess. She has little enough other reason to be in the film. Mitchum is his bulky, somewhat swaybacked, usual self but doesn't do anything very exciting or insightful. The script doesn't give him much of a chance. Sam Wanamaker and Trevor Howard are doctors, Wanamaker lending some excitement to the story, but their parts are small. Trevor Howard slurs his lines and seems barely able to get the words out.
The director allows everyone to speak too loudly. Outsized, perfunctory dialog is okay in a courtroom puzzle like "Witness for the Prosecution" but not for one that deals with more subtle issues. The ending is the same as in "The Caine Mutiny," "Buffalo Soldiers," and a million Perry Mason episodes. The whole trial and its preparation turn into wasted time when one of the witnesses, or the defendant himself, breaks down on the stand and begins screaming, jabbering insanely, or sobbing out his guilt.
"Man in the Middle" is a movie based on a 1959 novel by Howard Fast,
"The Winston Affair." The basic plot of the movie follows fairly
closely the story of the book. Hollywood altered some of the facts.
Robert Mitchum plays Lt. Col. Barney Adams in the film. In the book,
Adams is a captain. He is brought into India to be defense counsel in a
hot trial of American Lt. Charles Winston, who shot and killed a
British sergeant in cold blood. In the book, Winston shot a British
officer. Since Winston admitted to the killing, and nearly a dozen
witnesses saw it, it's an open-and-shut case. The American command
wants Winston tried and executed. It's a matter of morale and
"necessity" to bolster allied relations among the Americans and
British. But, they want the appearance of a fair trial. So, Adams, a
decorated combat veteran, is assigned as defense counsel.
The story is about the roadblocks Adams encounters in his quest to see that justice is served by giving Winston a fair trial. It makes for very good drama. The cast for this film is excellent. Mitchum's character seemed a little too nonchalant at first. But, that's partly Mitchum's persona, and it may reflect 18 years of service in which his man has learned to understand military "necessity." The other actors give excellent performances. Barry Sullivan is Gen. Kempton. Alexander Knox is great as the nervous Col. Burton. Sam Wanamaker is Maj. Kaufman. And, Trevor Howard is the British Major John Darryl Kensington. His scene is superb in the courtroom when Adams asks for his medical credentials. The major rattles off his degrees, honors, chairs and publications with a matter-of-fact air that only Trevor Howard could do. The looks on the faces of the court martial board members are telling and will bring a smile to a viewer's face
A couple reviewers saw Keenan Wynn's performance as Lt. Winston as exceptional, and I agree. It was worthy of an academy award nomination, but that didn't happen. On the other hand, the romantic aspect of the film, between Mitchum and France Nuyen as Kate Davray, doesn't click. It's OK for her to be in the story as a nurse, but not as a romance. Companionship and friendship would have been OK. But with them bedding down after just a couple of days, it lends a cheapness to the film. Is she just a hooker, or what? There is no love or romantic chemistry between them. The emotion she shows seems forced or contrived. It was a distraction in the film that lowered it at least one notch.
Movie buffs may be interested to know about other Howard Fast books made into movies. Fast's own background is quite interesting too. This film was the second of five novels by Fast to be made into a movie. The first was "Spartacus" in 1960 a huge box office hit. After "Man in the Middle" came "Mirage" in 1965. It was based on his 1952 novel, "Fallen Angel." The last two had the titles of the novels. Fast wrote "April Morning" in 1961 and it was made into a move in 1987. "The Crossing" movie came out in 2000, based on Fast's 1971 novel of the same name.
Howard Fast (1914-2003) was a prolific writer and producer of books. Most of his work is historical fiction. He was highly popular and widely read. He may not be a household name today, but for the last six decades of the 20th century, Howard Fast was a well known writer. In the 1940s and 1950s, Fast was notoriously regarded for his communist leanings. His biography makes for very interesting reading. Fast was a writer and thinker who continued to defend the "every man" after he left the Communist Party in 1956. He and other American communists were fooled by the deceitful Soviet leadership under Stalin. Fast was well read and liked in Soviet Russia, and in 1953 he received the Stalin Peace Prize. In 1952, Fast ran for Congress on the American Labor Party ticket. By that time, the Labor party was mostly a front for the Communist Party.
During WW II, Fast worked for the U.S. Office of War Information, writing for the Voice of America. In 1943 he joined the Communist party. His obituary in "The Guardian" said that was a time when "The wartime love affair with the Soviet Union and the Red army was at its peak." Indeed, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration put out a great deal of propaganda in support of Soviet Russia. That was to build support for the U.S. having the Soviets as allies, and to encourage the Soviet Union to fight Nazi Germany. Fast learned that some of his Soviet friends had lied to him and others about the whereabouts of silent Soviet writers. Then, Nikita Kruschev addressed the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in a closed session on Feb 25, 1956. Kruschev denounced the deceased Joseph Stalin and gave a laundry list of Stalin's abuses of power including the Great Purge of the mid-1930s, the crushing of the Hungarian revolution, and imprisonment and killing of thousands of Russians. When they learned of the Kruschev speech, Fast and more than three- fourths of the American members left the Communist Party.
In a 1957 autobiography, "The Naked God: The Writer and the Communist Party," Fast wrote about how good people were lied to and betrayed by Stalin and his henchmen in the American Communist Party. So, having once been derided for his communist leanings, Fast was later attacked by the communists for his exposes of their atrocities and lies. I highly recommend any of Fast's biographies and Kruschev's "secret" speech -- they make very interesting reading.
This is the film Guy Hamilton made just before the blockbuster of his
career "Goldfinger" -which,although very different from "Man in the
middle" ,remains one of the best (who says best?) Bond ever made-.
The problem with "man in the middle " is that there's not enough scenes with Keenan Wynn.We would like to know more about him,about his childhood,his relationship with his colleagues,women ,etc.Only Trevor Howard's final plea -which an ominous music makes disturbing- really tells us about his psyche.Also handicapped by a decorative female character who brings almost nothing to the plot whereas we 're waiting to know more about Winton's motives.Average.
A film detailing the defense of insanity with the background that the
accused is the brother-in-law of a United States Congressman.
Keenan Wynn delivers an excellent performance as the American officer who in front of 11 witnesses shot a British army man for his alleged racist activities-cavorting with African American women. He epitomizes hatred in the film while claiming that the next war will be a racial one.
Robert Mitchum is called in to be his defense attorney in a case that is supposedly one to get out of the way and just hang Wynn.
A much younger Sam Wanamaker is the psychiatrist whose report on Wynn was conveniently ignored and when Wanamaker is called to testify, he is conveniently transferred and is killed in a car accident while attempting to join the trial.
The film would have been ever better had we viewed the Congressman and the technique of flashbacks be used to see what Wynn's life was like before he joined the army. Even with a brother-in-law in Congress, it's hard to envision how such a nut case was ever accepted into the army.
France Nuyen places a nurse who falls for Mitchum in record time even for movie standards.
The film is one of duty and ethical dilemma.

Tensions along the Kashmiri Line of Control (LoC) continue to worsen today, with reports that a Pakistani military position in Tatta Pani was shelled by Indian artillery, killing one Pakistani soldier and sparking Pakistani retaliation.
It was the fourth confirmed death in the ongoing fighting along the LoC, which has been ongoing since the weekend, when a Pakistani soldier was slain in what was called a cross-border attack on a checkpoint.
After the weekend attack, two Indian soldiers were slain in an ambush on the road to Jammu, and Indian officials claimed that either one or both of the bodies were mutilated, and one was beheaded. Pakistan has denied the charges.
Whatever the particulars of the incidents, both sides continue to insist they are the aggrieved party, and both are continuing to promise significant retaliatory attacks, suggesting that the border dispute will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.

a must have for all who has sensitive skin or dry skin! not a big fun of this hard tube but it's even worth buying a tube squeezer.顔を含め全身に使えて、ガサガサお肌が一晩でモチモチになるほどの即効性がすばらしいです。チューブがかたくて使いやすくは無いですが、コレの為にスクイーザーをかう価値アリだとお思います。
great stuff!

Greenmarket Square
In the heart of Cape Town's business district, you'll find Greenmarket Square. The square has quite a reputation – it has been a slave market, a fruit and vegetable market and, during the 1950s, a humble parking lot.
These days it's just the place to look for clothing, glassware, hand-painted fabrics, footwear, music, sunglasses and curios from all over Cape Town and Africa.
Greenmarket Square is more than a flea market – not only will you find a wide range of goods to buy, there is also entertainment in the form of buskers, mime artists and jugglers, especially on Saturday mornings and other busy times.
The market is a big success and as a result surrounding businesses continue to prosper – there are loads of coffee shops and restaurants in the vicinity – so take time out to sit at a sidewalk table and watch the world go by.
Monday to Saturday between 09h00 and 16h00, in the square that dissects Burg Street and between Longmarket and Shortmarket streets.

The shelter I stayed in last night was 1.5 miles from a scout camp. The visitor registry had dozens of entries from scouts that had hiked there over the summer for their advancement requirements. Lots of fun to see. Other than that, haven't seen any scouts on the trail. But, met a hiker who is an Eagle scout.

Posted on 07/25/2012 6:42:23 PM PDT by Petrosius
William, Paul and James Newland and their sister, Christine Ketterhagen, who together own Hercules Industries, have no right to conduct their family business in a manner that comports with their Catholic faith.
The federal government can and will compel them to either surrender their business or to engage in activities the Catholic faith teaches are intrinsically immoral.
This is exactly what President Barack Obama's Justice Department told a U.S. district court in a formal filing last week.
Never before has an administration taken such a bold step to strip Americans of the freedom of conscience -- a right for which, over the centuries, many Christian martyrs have laid down their lives, and which our Founding Fathers took great care to protect in a First Amendment that expressly guarantees the free exercise of religion.
As the Founders understood, no government has legitimate authority to take this right away, because it does not come from government. It comes from God. The very purpose of government is to protect this right. A government that seeks to strip it away from the people is by that very process stripping away its own legitimacy.
What we are seeing from the Obama administration today -- in its attack on religious liberty -- is simply evil. When government seeks to compel individuals to act against their consciences and to engage in activities that, if willfully done, would imperil their immortal souls, there is no other word for it.
The Newland family owns and operates Hercules Industries, a Colorado-based corporation that manufactures heating, ventilation and air-conditioning equipment. Through their hard work and dedication, and through their willingness to reinvest their own money in building their family business, they have managed to create jobs for 265 people while exerting a positive influence on the communities they serve.
The Newlands believe the morality the Catholic faith teaches them must animate their lives not only within the walls of the churches they attend, but literally everywhere else, as well -- in the way they deal with their families, their neighbors and, yes, their business.
The Newlands sued to protect their free exercise of religion in this regard because Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius issued a regulation, under the Obamacare law, that requires virtually all health care plans to cover -- without cost-sharing -- sterilizations, artificial contraception and abortifacients.
Under Obamacare, businesses that employ more than 50 people must provide their employees with insurance or pay a penalty, and the required insurance must include the mandated cost-sharing-free coverage for sterilizations, artificial contraception and abortifacients.
At Hercules Industries, the Newlands provide a generous self-insured health-care plan to their employees. It does not cover sterilization, artificial contraception or abortifacients.
"The Catholic Church teaches that abortifacient drugs, contraception and sterilization are intrinsic evils," says the Newlands' lawsuit.
"Consequently, the Newlands believe that it would be immoral and sinful for them to intentionally participate in, pay for, facilitate or otherwise support abortifacient drugs, contraception, sterilization, and related education and counseling as would be required by the Mandate, through their inclusion in health insurance coverage they offer at Hercules," says the suit.
The Catholic Bishops of the United States endorse this view. At a meeting in Atlanta last month, they unanimously adopted a resolution calling the HHS regulation an "unjust and illegal mandate" and a "violation of personal civil rights." They declared that the regulation created a class of Americans "with no conscience protection at all: individuals who, in their daily lives, strive constantly to act in accordance with their faith and moral values.
"They, too," said the bishops, "face a government mandate to aid in providing 'services' contrary to those values -- whether in their sponsoring of, and payment for, insurance as employers; their payment of insurance premiums as employees; or as insurers themselves -- without even the semblance of an exemption."
In a letter read during Sunday Mass in most dioceses around the country earlier this year, many of the nation's bishops flatly said: "We cannot -- we will not -- comply with this unjust law."
In response to the Newlands' complaint that ordering them to violate the teachings of the Catholic Church in the way they run their business is a violation of their First Amendment right to the free exercise of religion, the Obama administration told the federal court that a private business has no protection under the First Amendment's free exercise clause -- especially if the business is incorporated.
"The First Amendment Complaint does not allege that the company is affiliated with a formally religious entity such as a church," said the Justice Department. "Nor does it allege that the company employs persons of a particular faith. In short, Hercules Industries is plainly a for-profit, secular employer."
"By definition," said the Justice Department, "a secular employer does not engage in any 'exercise of religion.'"
"It is well established that a corporation and its owners are wholly separate entities, and the Court should not permit the Newlands to eliminate that legal separation to impose their personal religious beliefs on the corporate entity or its employees," said the Justice Department.
This is just as if the Justice Department were to tell a family owned newspaper that it must publish editorials calling for a confiscatory estate tax, basing its coercion of the newspaper on the supposition (which lawyers for the Alliance Defending Freedom argue DOJ is by analogy making) that as a for-profit secular and incorporated employer, the paper has no First Amendment right to freedom of speech.
How about as Mooslims?
Obama is crushing everything because he is mad.
That's right, conservatives! Vote for Virgil Goode because 4 more years of Obama is so much better than Romney!
Looks like these guys are SOL, too.
Obama hates true Catholics. He likes Catholics that are useful idiots, like the US bishops.
Not mad, just a through and through anti-American communist. Remember he wanted to transform this nation into his visit of America, which as his mentor and perhaps real father, Frank Marshall Davis said would be the United Soviet Socialist States of America.
All he as to do is get rid of those pesky Christians, whether Protestant or Catholic; especially those who cling to their Constitution, bible and guns.
It's like a nightmare. What kind of tyrants have we put in power?
Obama's secret identity:
Don Julian Alvarado, "El Supremo".
But 0bama creating the 'Office of African-American Education' is acceptable?
Did you actually READ the article?? The Catholic bishops are going all out against this assault on religious freedom. Also note that the Catholic bishops of today are not the knee-jerk liberals who once infested the US Catholic bishopry. Those folks are being shuffled off to "honorable retirement" as fast as Pope Benedict can arrange it.
I find halal and kosher foods offensive. So I guess selling kosher and halal food will be stopped. 'Bout time.
Catholics have supported socialism in the US for decades, they supported the Healthcare law until opps it hurt them, they supported illegals, they support redistribution of wealth, except that of the church.
The federal government can and will compel them to either surrender their business or to engage in activities the Catholic faith teaches are intrinsically immoral.
Mr. Jeffrey is not spouting hyperbole in any fashion. We are looking at demanding an instance of immediate material cooperation in evil from the Newlands as a condition of their operating a business.
The deliberate concurrence in another person's usually sinful action. The co-operation is formal and always sinful if, besides giving external help of whatever kind, one interiorly wants the evil action to be performed. Formal co-operation is at least a sin against charity by doing spiritual harm to one's neighbor; frequently it is also a sin against another virtue, especially of justice.
Assisting in another's wrongdoing without approving it. The help given assists a person to perform the sinful action, although of itself the help is not wrong. To provide necessary information to a thief, because one is forced to, would be material co-operation. Material co-operation with another person's evil action is allowed provided certain conditions are fulfilled. Such collaboration is licit because the co-operator does not internally approve of the sin of another, nor does he or she approve of the sinful use to which the assistance is put by the other. The following principles are standard in resolving this complex moral issue:
Two kinds of material co-operation are to be distinguished: immediate and mediate.
In immediate material co-operation, one person actually does something morally wrong with another person. Thus if a surgeon and an assistant are both engaged in actually aborting a fetus, the co-operation of the assistant is immediate. Immediate material co-operation in the sinful act of another is always wrong. It is pointless to say that a person who is not under duress performs a criminal action without intending to do so.
Mediate material co-operation is concurring in the wrong action of another, but not in such a way that one actually performs the act with the other or agrees with the evil intention of the other. While doing something that is in itself good or indifferent, a person rather gives an occasion to another's sin, or contributes something by way of assistance.
The morality of mediate material co-operation is to be judged on the principle of the double effect. In applying this principle, there are four basic norms to be observed. Among these norms is the obligation not to intend the evil effect (as would really be intended in immediate material co-operation) and the need for sufficient reason to permit the evil effect. The presence of a proportionate reason is not sufficient to allow what is called material co-operation.
Slowly, steadily, . . . choices as we once them are taken away piece by piece. Outraged within and amongst ourselves, sitting idly by. Oh sure, we will go to the poles and vote. What do they say about repeating an action repeatedly and expecting a different result?
Representatives and statesman have obviously been pounded into submission by fear, lest they speak out loudly and with passion.
Exactly when do God fearing people stand up and say "HELL NO". . . We will not take it anymore!
Exactly when is enough, is enough? When they come for our guns? By then it will be too late.
When I was in school many decades ago . . . We were taught then, that if you wanted to change a law, you had to be willing to break the law. You had to be willing to serve time in jail. Through peaceful civil discourse, a minority of people can effectively change the law. I guess the only ones who were listening were the Marxist. The rest of us follow the rules. Thinking its getting time to stand up and be heard outside the polling booth.
People will loose a lot. Their business their homes. But many before have lost their lives in the name of freedom. What are we willing to lose.
There's a huge opportunity out there for people who can figure this sort of thing out.
I agree with the DOJ position here.
A hundred thousand small and mid size, and a few dozen large corporations all reincorporate as Catholic Church associated entities and the Democrat Party will collapse in most Catholic dominant states.
If the DOJ wins this, and if the Bishops are more than blowing hot air, it could revolutionize the legal strategies of entrepreneurs in the country.
If a Muslim business owner requires all employees to pay 5% zakat to a Mosque, as a condition of employment, we'd all be freaking out.
If they are listed as being the persons of responsibility, when it comes to decisions made for the corporation, I believe they have every right to decide what they will spend the corporation's money on.
"It is well established that a corporation and its owners are wholly separate entities, and the Court should not permit the Newlands to eliminate that legal separation to impose their personal religious beliefs on the corporate entity or its employees," said the Justice Department.
If this is the case, what would prevent anyone from establishing a corporate entity -- under both IRS rules and the laws of that particular state -- in which adherence to Catholic teaching is written into the corporation's founding documents, corporate bylaws, etc.?
Actually, I'd have no problem with this at all. Anyone who works for the guy is free to leave and go work somewhere else. If his work force is limited to people who are willing to pay that stupid "tax," I can't imagine he's going to be in business for very long.
Has the SHTF yet? If not, what will it take? The most fundamental rights are being trampled and NOTHING is being done about it.
I believe the recent SCOTUS decision pertaining to corporate entities expressing their first amendment rights, including freedom of religious speech, via campaign contributions established precedence and certainly entitles them to express their first amendment rights within the corporation.
Fixed it. Similarly, SOME Fundies, SOME Jews, and SOME Moslems, not to mention SOME atheistsin various proportionssupported all the socialist drivel you mention. And a lot don't, especially now.
Wonder Warthog is correct in saying "the Catholic bishops of today are not the knee-jerk liberals who once infested the US Catholic bishopry. Those folks are being shuffled off to "honorable retirement" as fast as Pope Benedict can arrange it. ."
In the pews, with the passing of the Baby Boomers, the Catholics still in the Church are increasingly young, traditional, conservativeand fertile. Not your father's Catholic Church. Even back in the 1980s and '90s, Catholics by the tens of thousands got arrested for shutting down abortion mills, and have saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of babies ever since through pro-life pregnancy counseling centers. With that movement and the promotion of ultrasound imaging, the majority of the country now calls itself "pro-life."
Keep your political intelligence up to date and don't fight your allies, if you really want to win.
Obama's argument is effectively that the First Amendment doesn't apply to individuals, churches or businesses. It only applies to terrorists.
If I don't pay for witchcraft supplies for my employees I am forcing my religion on them?
I don't know how much more of this insanity I can stand to watch. This is such a crock it would be laughable if it wasn't such a dead-serious effort to rape the people of America out of their God-given freedoms.
These employees are not required to do a darn thing. Your comparison is totally wrong.
The company is refusing to buy abortifacients, sterilants, and contraceptives for the employees to use.
It would be like a Muslim company refusing to buy crucifixes and communion wafers.
You certainly have a point. The Church changes in the US as those raised with great piety, great tradition, under devout priests and bishops pass on, and the younger are trapped in an extraordinarily casual and godless culture. It is somewhat miraculous in a "me" centered society that the young stay at all in the great Church.
So Muslims get exempted from Obamacare, but Catholics have to help pay for abortion. This country is being run by an alien thug.
SOME Catholics have supported socialism (....)
Thank you for that fix. I, nor any parish I have ever belonged to, have ever supported Socialism or the redistribution of private wealth.
"The federal government can and will compel them to either surrender their business"
No wonder: You didn't do that. Someone else did that!:
You're right. The only thing for any Catholic to do here is complete noncompliance with the law. As in total. A law that goes against natural law is no law, but evil, and we are obliged, as such, to disobey it. Utterly. If you are an employer, disregard the HHS mandate. If you are and employee, buy no insurance, since a 1 dollar fee specifically pays for abortion. Pay no taxes, either, since for the moment, once this is effective, a portion of your taxes pays for abortion, specifically. Obama is counting on people, Catholics especially, in this case, being weak-kneed about this. Show him he and his gang of apostates are wrong.
The Church explicitly does NOT support socialism, nor direct "wealth distribution", though apparently many of the older US bishops and some priests and nuns don't understand that. And I can assure you that a great many Catholics are not supportive of ANY of those notions you listed. It remains to be seen whether, now that the American Church "has been mugged" by the gov't, positions and policies on other fronts will change among the hierarchy.
Catholic social ministry begins and ends with Jesus Christ, he said. If it doesnt, it isnt Catholic.
Archbishop Chaput
Do you think teh Catholics on FR "support socialism?"
Maybe an insulated Baptist from the DEEEEEEEEEEEP South, and they just discovered there's a whole new world out there with ideas "totully furren, an' diffrent, too" to their experiences?
(Apologies to all truly Christian Baptists, it was just the first Christian sect that came to mind)

Sometimes the glaring needs are not so obvious until you look at the players that are expected to leave due to their contract expiring. And that applies to not just the players on contract years now, but players whose contracts expire after the 2014 season too. Right now, these are the areas of need I see for the 49ers (these are not listed in order), and players I like right now who we might want to target:
1. Wide Receiver - It is abundantly clear that we lack a vertical threat on this team to that can get open and take pressure off the short and intermediate routes. This may not be as big of a need if Baldwin proves to be that guy and steps up this season. Right now I see a lot of underclassmen likely to declare; the senior WR class is awful.
2. Offensive Line - Goodwin is not expected to come back, and it's not guarantee that Snyder does either. That leaves us with Staley, Boone, Iupati, Kilgore, and Davis as the starters with Looney as the only reserve from the 2013 active roster.
3. Cornerback - Rogers, Asomugha, and Brock may all be gone. Culliver is coming off a torn ACL. We clearly need some help. Morris may contribute next season, but we'll need some depth still.
4. Strong Safety - Whitner is OK in coverage, great against the run, and a ferocious hitter, but his contract is up and I'm not sure he'll be re-signed. There is no one on the roster worthy of taking his spot.
5. Defensive Line - With Ian Williams coming off a broken ankle, it would be wise to look at NT depth. Dorsey has filled in admirably so far, so we may bypass that, but I think we could use some more athleticism there. We DEFINITELY need DE depth. McDonald is tough but does get hurt. Justin Smith doesn't have much time life. Dial and Carradine are both coming off injuries. I don't recall, but I think Dobbs' contract is up as well after this season.
6. Pass Rush Depth - Since we love to trade all our OLB depth away, we are yet again in a hole here where we need to draft somebody, especially to keep us safe if Aldon messes up again...
Players I like:
Sammy Watkins-Clemson, 6-1 200 4.47*
Devin Street-Pitt, 6-3 192. 4.56
Spencer Long-OG-Nebraska, 6-4 315 5.16
Brandon Thomas-OG-Clemson, 6-3 315 5.24
Darqueeze Dennard-Michigan State, 5-11 197 4.52
Kyle Fuller-Virginia Tech, 6-0 190 4.45
Craig Loston-LSU, 6-1 209 4.45
Ty Zimmerman-Kansas State, 6-1 205 4.57 (in the mid-later rounds)
DaQuan Jones-NT-Penn State, 6-3 333 5.18
Taylor Hart-DE-Oregon, 6-6 287 4.92
Larry Webster-Bloomsburg, 6-6 240 4.67
IK Enemkpali-Louisiana Tech, 6-1 250 4.78

Why Richard Harrow from 'Boardwalk Empire' is Excellent Boyfriend Material
By Sarah Carlson and Courtney Enlow | Seriously Random Lists | October 15, 2013 | Comments ()
We don't want to be clichés. We detest such things. But dammit if we don't love ourselves a man who's tall, dark and damaged, and Boardwalk Empire is lousy with them. But one tender piece of damaged goods stands head and shoulders and mask above the rest, and that man is Richard Harrow. And we love him. We love that beautiful, half-faced weirdo. We may kid about wanting a relationship with Todd from Breaking Bad, but we're serious about Richard. Here's why.
He'll take you dancing.
He's both crafty and sentimental.
Don't be fooled by the mask — he has excellent hand-eye coordination.
Seriously, it's impressive.
He'll pretend to like your kid's artwork.
He only has eye for you. (Sorry.)
He's game for anything. Like scalping.
Or picnics.
He's kissable. No, really.
He knows how to accessorize.
And to always bring a lady flowers.
He's honest — always telling it like it is.
He'll support you in your passions, and even participate.
Better still, he knows how to stay focused. (… Really sorry about that.)
He cleans up real good. A humminah humminah humminah.
He's not bad messy, either.
He has a healthy view of relationships.
I can guarantee he'll give you a hell of a rock.
He's gainfully employed.
He's a dog person! Like that dog he didn't kill!
There's just so much about his soul you want to fix.
He's good with kids.
He's good to have around the house.
He's very organized.
Oh, and he's a goddamn baller.
And he'll avenge your death.
A romantic 'til the end.
Can we get an amen?

Here's some Daveed Diggs for you. On Daveed Diggs' digs, actually. That man does things with clothes that should not make sense, but are absolutely perfect. (Go Fug Yourself)
Woody Allen has "so moved on" from his daughter's accusations and says he never even thinks about it. He equates her words about him to a bad review he won't read and comments on how wacky it is that Mia Farrow is his mother-in-law. He is the worst. (Celebitchy)

New Mat Kearney Song! Ships In The Night! [Video]
Mat Kearney's latest Cd Young Love is already out!
Mat Kearney's latest Cd Young Love is already out!
Coldplay is heading to the States!
Five years ago, Cirque du Soleil took the music of the Beatles and turned it into 'Love,' a smash multimedia hit that blended the troupe's trademark dancing skill with state-of-the-art production and newly remixed versions of songs the world knows by heart. Now they're doing it again with another beloved icon, Michael Jackson, and the result is 'Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour.'
Robyn has earned rave reviews and topped the European charts, but up until now, American chart success has largely eluded her – and all that could change following her upcoming stint as an opening act on Katy Perry's California Dreams tour.
"I was excited that she asked me," said the Swedish pop star during a recent interview. "It's cool. She likes what I do and she's a huge supporter of my music and I was just really happy and thankful that she thought of me cause I've never played for her audience."
Though Robyn was admittedly not familiar with Perry's work before being asked to join her tour, she's since become a fan – and more importantly, she knew she could take the gig without compromise.
The London born singer is a current hit everywhere - Her newest album "21" has sold more than 1.86 million copies!
The 22 year old is currently on her "Adele Live Tour" and the closest she will be to El Paso will be when she performs June 12th in Austin TX...
So it looks like Charlie Sheen is back on top again!
This is just a taste of what they're going to bring during their summer tour together! As soon as we have all the details on the dates, we'll let you know...

I'm not sure people would feel a threat of being killed themselves, hence why we drive without seatbelts, drink and smoke ourselves to death.
Massive disregard for our own safety and wellbeing. Guilt on the other hand is powerful. As in this ad for speeding https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4KFAj6JTiM

Are you married? Do you have kids? Where do you work? Where do you live? Sometimes, we try to get personal information from our students, and it sounds like an interrogation.
Yet, this is information that is essential to our goals: we need to know as much as we can (without getting too personal) to tailor activities to their needs, to create rapport, or simply get to know them better. This is particularly challenging with beginners with limited vocabulary or who are very self-conscious about their English-speaking skills. Here are great ways to get your students to open up, without your having to give them the third degree.
How to Get Your Students to Open up and Share
Make your students comfortable about sharing and know when to draw the line.
If someone is uncomfortable talking about a certain personal topic, respect that and never pry. Create a fun, safe environment for your students to share information about themselves, and they will open up!
How do you get students to share? I've already shared mine, so don't be shy and share your tips below!

(Feb. 27, 2012) -- Jaime A. Martinez '03, senior international business consultant with the UTSA International Trade Center, has been appointed marketing agent for a new Ex-Im Bank partnership with UTSA.
The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) recently signed an agreement with the UTSA International Trade Center as one of Ex-Im Bank's latest city-State Partners. Located at the UTSA Downtown Campus, the trade center is part of the UTSA Institute for Economic Development and provides services to a 79-county regional network of small business development centers.
"The role is essentially an extension of my small business advising services. Being a partner with the Ex-Im Bank gives my clients more resources to draw from when it's time to export, create jobs or find capital," said Martinez."This is a great opportunity to provide Texas businesses with the resources for global expansion with the help of Ex-Im Bank."
Martinez will continue to work with clients in the service, retail and manufacturing industries in starting and growing their businesses to new markets. As the designated Ex-Im marketing agent, he will help market the services of the Ex-Im Bank through a variety of means including one-on-one meetings, seminars and webinars. He will walk local businesses through a range of Ex-Im bank financing tools including working capital support and export credit insurance and guarantees that will enable them to better compete in growth markets abroad.
Martinez earned a UTSA B.B.A. in international business, studying international marketing, international management and strategy, and logistics and documentation in relation to the import and export of goods. He has worked as a small business adviser for the UTSA Institute for Economic Development since 2007, holding positions at the San Antonio Small Business Development Center and more recently at the International Trade Center.
As an SBDC adviser, Martinez helped small businesses create business plans, obtain capital and create jobs. Before coming to UTSA, he worked as a financial specialist and in international private banking with Wachovia Bank and Frost National Bank. He received special recognition as Business Adviser of the Year for 2009.
UTSA is the Ex-Im Bank's fourth partner in Texas -- the only one in San Antonio, with three partners in Dallas and Brownsville.
The UTSA International Trade Center is one of the largest and most successful trade assistance organizations in Texas, helping companies become globally competitive through technical trade consulting, customized market research and innovative training programs. In 2011, the center helped clients generate $210 million in global sales, obtain $9 million in financing, and create or retain more than 1,400 jobs. The center is a specialty program of the South-West Texas Border SBDC Network. Follow them on Twitter @TexasTrade.

The rooms were clean and comfortable. Old systems break down but a call to the front desk got everything fixed right away. A second chair would be handy. When I was on the computer, my husband had to sit on the bed to watch TV during the day. The only bad part would not involve most people. I had to bring a large cart of business displays on board. This cannot be done through the lobby area and has to be done by yourself in a most inconvenient way.
