I was sitting in a Sunday School class once when the teacher began to address the issue of comparing ourselves to one another. He warned of the hazards of doing so and then added, "We should never compare ourselves or our situations in life to others. If you must compare yourself to someone, then compare yourself to Christ, for he is our Exemplar." I reflected on that comment for quite a while that day and found myself thinking, "Oh, we should compare ourselves with Christ. Well, that certainly makes me feel better! From now on I will lay my deeds and my puny offerings next to his, and then I can really get (and stay) depressed."
The fact is, comparing just doesn't work. Period. We will either maintain a constant feeling of inadequacy or cultivate an inappropriate view of our own importance. Neither is healthy. Even some of Jesus' chosen disciples were tempted to seek for positions of prominence, and the Master chastened them with the words, "Whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant" (Matthew 20:26–27; compare Mark 10:28–41). Jesus himself set the standard and abolished all forms of spiritual pecking orders when he, the greatest man to traverse earth's paths, described his role as follows: "I am among you as he that serveth" (Luke 22:27).
Andy Stanley put this all into perspective when he asked: "When you die, do you get to go to heaven if your good deeds constitute 70 percent of your overall deeds? Or does 51 percent earn you a passing grade? . . . Or what if God's holiness and perfection outweigh his mercy and he requires that 90 percent of our deeds be good? Or what if God grades on a curve and Mother Teresa skewed the cosmic curve, raising the bar for good deeds beyond what most of us are capable of?" (How Good Is Good Enough? 45–46.)
While for Latter-day Saints, salvation is a family affair, coming unto Christ by covenant and carrying out the will of God is an individual undertaking. When it comes to standing at the bar of judgment, a summary of our lives (including our good deeds) will not be placed alongside anyone else's. We are baptized one by one, confirmed one by one, ordained one by one, set apart one by one, and endowed one by one. And even though we kneel in the house of the Lord opposite the love of our life in the highest ordinance this side of heaven, the keeping of temple covenants and ultimately the matter of being conformed to the image of Christ is accomplished one soul at a time. We are all in this together. No one of us is exempt from the examinations of mortality or receives a bye in the game of life. We're here to do the best we can. The quest for spirituality doesn't entail our being xeroxed into the image of another human, but rather the quest to have God, through his Holy Spirit, make you and me into all that he desires us to be. Through the years and after the Holy Ghost has fashioned our hearts, after the Lord has educated our consciences, after the Spirit has matured our judgment and enhanced our wisdom, then "when [Christ] shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is" (Moroni 7:48; compare 1 John 3:1–2).

The terrific wallpaper is part of Toe Clips: Will Improve Your Cycling Time? document which is grouped within , , and made public at March 25, 2016 1:25:47 pm by Sport Reviewer
Toe Clips: Will Improve Your Cycling Time?: Pedals with Toe Clips
While most people learn to ride a bike with flat pedals, toe clips are an option that can be added later to change the way you ride. These are most popular on high performance, racing and mountain bikes, but there are also after-market pedals with clips that can be installed after removing the stock ones. Some think toe clips help improve their ride time and comfort. Others think they're a waste and actually make taking a ride more difficult.
Toe clips do exactly what they sound like. They clip the shoe to the pedal and are usually used in conjunction with actual bicycle shoes. Toe clips are not unforgiving mechanical things that offer no escape, however. With just a lift of the heel and a twist of the foot, your shoe will pop out neatly so you can rest on the curb or prevent a fall.
Do toe clips make your bike ride faster or take less time? First, part of the benefit comes from the bicycle shoes frequently worn with them. They have more rigid soles than standard athletic shoes, so they transfer more power from your legs to the pedals.
Even if you use your old sneakers to ride your bike, toe clips keep your feet in the right place and help better utilize your efforts. Not only can you push harder because your foot will never slip off with clips installed, but you can also pull up with the back foot to add even more forward motion.
The fascinating wallpaper is part of Toe Clips: Will Improve Your Cycling Time? has dimension 1092 x 951 pixel. You can download and attain the Pedals with Toe Clips images by click the download button below to get multiple high-res versions.

MIAMI, March 5 (UPI) -- A Miami judge said Tuesday that media outlets could have access to additional videos of Justin Bieber's brief jail stint, though the police department would have to sensor footage of the singer's genitals during his urine test.
Bieber's lawyers had argued that the media' right to access public information did not outweigh his right to privacy. They did not want authorities to release any of the footage.
Miami-Dade County Judge William Altfield agreed that Bieber had a right to privacy, but said the public also had a right to access information about his arrest
"Mr. Bieber's right to privacy is paramount," Altfied said. "He has not lost his right to privacy, and that is what is important here."
"The court finds that images of the defendant while in custody at the Miami Beach Police Department are relevant to the public's right to know," Altfield said.
The 20-year-old singer was arrested in Miami last January when police said they caught him speeding, driving with a suspended license and driving under the influence. Though Bieber had a small amount of alcohol in his system, he tested positive for Xanax and marijuana.
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

That's what I'm trying to do this year- instead of buying anything new (unless I get it for free!) I'm trying to shop my own closet + second hand to create new clothes from something old.
Aside from the obvious financial benefits from refashioning, it also reduces waste, is fun + will help you build sewing skills (if you're a beginner), so you should get on board!
I made these skinny white crops from a pair of Express baggy cropped pants in my closet. I didn't like the way they looked before, they were loose and made me look stumpy. I took a "before" pic, but I can't find it? It'll have to be added in later.
Really, this is a refashion that I've done before but this time I used a different fabric and actually took fabric from both sides instead of one.
If you want a quick explanation, take a look at the above picture. I put them on inside out and pinned where the excess material was (it helps to have a friend for this), too them off and used a zigzag stitch (usually I use a straight stitch, but this worked, too), trimmed the excess and wore them! HERE IS A LINK if you want more in depth directions.
Finished! I really, really love them. I haven't worn these in years, but now they seem like a staple!
I have another pair in black that need to join these ones in a skinny refashion. So easy!HERE. Full week coming your way as we move into August! I plan on doing the marriage series next week (2-3 posts at the most) and will sneak in a few easy projects as well. I don't know why I bother using the word "easy" ... everything at 'la vie' is easy, or it doesn't get done! Have a great weekend, people! All the best and as always, thanks for reading!

The story of the real life double murder which shocked Northern Ireland will be told in a three-part ITV drama, The Secret, to be produced by Hat Trick Productions.
Acclaimed Coleraine actor James Nesbitt will play Colin Howell, a respectable former Ballymoney dentist and pillar of the community, who became a killer in partnership with a Sunday school teacher, Hazel Buchanan.
Hazel Buchanan will be played by Genevieve O'Reilly, who is known for her roles in Episodes, Banished and The Honourable Woman.
Howell and Buchanan met at their local Baptist Church in Coleraine and they embarked upon a passionate and destructive affair, which climaxed in an elaborate plot to kill both their partners, Lesley and Trevor.
Written by Bafta winning writer Stuart Urban (An Ungentlemanly Act), the drama is directed by Nick Murphy (Occupation, Prey) and produced by Jonathan Curling (Holy Cross, The Government Inspector)
The Executive Producer is Hat Trick Productions Head of Drama, Mark Redhead (Murder of Stephen Lawrence, Bloody Sunday, Case Sensitive, The Suspicions of Mr Whicher, Critical).
The Secret has been commissioned for ITV by Director of Drama Steve November and Controller of Drama Victoria Fea.
"The Secret is a powerful true life crime story," said Steve. "The production team at Hat Trick led by Mark Redhead has a long held reputation for producing quality drama focusing on human frailties and tragedy."
Executive producer Mark Redhead said: "This is the story of an audacious and wicked crime. It tells us something very surprising and revealing about the dark side of human nature."
The drama is based on a best-selling book, by veteran reporter Deric Henderson, the former Ireland Editor of the Press Association and draws on primary source material.
Deric said: "It's an extraordinary story, certainly the most remarkable I've ever covered in a long career."
The drama will go into production in Northern Ireland in November with additional funding from Northern Ireland Screen.
Richard Williams, Chief Executive of Northern Ireland Screen said: "We are delighted to welcome Hat Trick back to Northern Ireland. It is good that they are returning to film an important local story with James Nesbitt in the lead role. We wish Mark and his team all the best for the shoot."

Cutch seeks fourth straight NL All-Star nod
It's "Go" time for balloting for the 2014 All-Star Game, with Friday's release of the National and American League ballots for the 85th Midsummer Classic.
Fans can cast their votes for starters at MLB.com and all 30 club sites -- online or on a mobile device -- using the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot Sponsored by Experian until Thursday, July 3, at 11:59 p.m. ET. The 2014 All-Star Game will be played at Target Field on Tuesday, July 15.
It's "Go" time for balloting for the 2014 All-Star Game, with Friday's release of the National and American League ballots for the 85th Midsummer Classic.
Fans can cast their votes for starters at MLB.com and all 30 club sites -- online or on a mobile device -- using the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot Sponsored by Experian until Thursday, July 3, at 11:59 p.m. ET. The 2014 All-Star Game will be played at Target Field on Tuesday, July 15.
In-stadium balloting will begin at PNC Park on May 4 -- in the middle of the Bucs' next homestand -- and continue through June 19.
Curiosity revolved around the list of Pirates candidates since the club entered the season with two hazy positions, undecided at worst and platooned at best.
And the answers are, Travis Snider is nominated in right field and Gaby Sanchez is the choice at first base. Snider indeed has been getting the bulk of playing time, over the right-handed-hitting Jose Tabata in right. However, the recent acquisition of Ike Davis has turned Sanchez into a minor partner at his position.
The Bucs' other candidates should be obvious: catcher Russell Martin, third baseman Pedro Alvarez, shortstop Jordy Mercer, second baseman Neil Walker and Starling Marte and Andrew McCutchen rounding out the outfield.
Alvarez and McCutchen were both 2013 NL All-Stars, the third consecutive selection for the latter, who's also the reigning NL Most Valuable Player.
The Bucs had a total of five representatives at the '13 Classic at New York's Citi Field -- matching the club's most since 1960 (also reached in '72) -- the others being starting pitcher Jeff Locke and relievers Mark Melancon and Jason Grilli.
The player making the best early push for consideration for his first All-Star experience has been Walker, who has shown the above-average power for NL second sackers and delivered a pair of walk-off hits within the Pirates' first seven home games of the season.
Fans may submit up to 25 online ballots, but they can also earn a one-time bonus of 10 additional online ballots. To access these additional online ballots, you must be logged into your MLB.com account when you submit any online ballot. If you do not have an MLB.com account, register on the site in accordance with the enrollment instructions for a free MLB.com account.
Fans this year once again can participate in the Home Run Derby Fan Poll. Fans will have the opportunity to select three players in each league who they would most like to see participate in the Home Run Derby. The 2014 Home Run Derby will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN HD, ESPN Deportes and ESPN Radio in the United States beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Monday, July 14.
The 2014 American League and National League All-Star teams will be unveiled on the 2014 MLB All-Star Game Selection Show during the weekend of July 5-6, with further details to follow on MLB.com. Immediately following the announcement of the AL and NL All-Star rosters, fans can begin voting to select the final player for each league's 34-man roster via the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com Final Vote Sponsored by Experian. Fans will cast their votes from a list of five players from each league over the balloting period.
And the voting doesn't end there. The final phase of All-Star Game voting will again have fans participating in the voting for the Ted Williams All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award presented by Chevrolet. During the Midsummer Classic, fans will vote exclusively online at MLB.com via the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com MVP Vote Sponsored by Pepsi, and their voice will represent 20 percent of the overall vote that determines the recipient of the Arch Ward Trophy.
MLB.com will provide extensive online coverage of the All-Star Week festivities.
The 85th All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX, in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and RDS, and worldwide by partners in more than 200 countries via MLB International's independent feed. ESPN Radio and ESPN Radio Deportes will provide national radio coverage of the All-Star Game. MLB Network and SiriusXM will also provide comprehensive All-Star Week coverage.

Too Many Washington School Districts
Why does the State of Washington have 295 school districts! Why not use a model employed by other states - base school district boundaries on county boundaries for most counties and on student population for counties such as King County. It probably would not be prudent to combine Seattle School District with other districts, given its existing student population. As an example - Thurston County has 8 school districts ...more »

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will announce in his State of the Union address on Tuesday that 34,000 troops - about half the U.S. force in Afghanistan - will withdraw by early 2014, a senior administration official said.
The decision brings the United States one step closer to wrapping up the unpopular and costly 11-year-old war but also appeared to give the White House time and flexibility before it answers bigger questions about America's exit strategy.
This includes the size of the U.S. force that Obama will keep in Afghanistan once the NATO mission is completed and the war is declared formally over at the end of 2014.
Obama also must decide how large an Afghan force to finance, and for how long, as his allies in Congress press to keep them at their maximum strength.
The Obama administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said no further details would be provided however in this evening's address, due to begin at 9 p.m. EST.
"The president will not be making any further announcements about troop numbers tonight, nor has he made any decisions beyond the one he is announcing," the official said.
The official promised further U.S. troop reductions through the end of 2014 "as Afghans take full responsibility for their security."
The announcement comes a month after Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai agreed in Washington on a plan to slightly speed up the handover of combat operations in Afghanistan, with Afghan forces taking the lead role throughout the country this spring.
How the Afghan forces fare in this leading role has yet to be seen. Although U.S. military officials express confidence in growing Afghan capabilities, Afghan forces remain highly dependent on U.S. support.
Another U.S. official, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said U.S. commanders would have the flexibility to decide when to withdraw the 34,000 troops, as long as they were out by early next year, meaning the bulk of them could stay through this year's peak fighting months.
Jeffrey Dressler of the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington think-tank, said that flexibility would allow the military to "focus on the fight at hand" during the summer and early fall.
Still, he described the removal 34,000 troops as a "tall task" that comes at a challenging time for Afghan forces.
"The real question now is what the post-2014 presence will be, which in my mind, is a far more important question," Dressler said.
Previous discussions at the White House focused on a range of options of between 3,000 and 9,000 troops, with military commanders most comfortable with the higher-end figures.
It was unclear when Obama might make a decision.
Bruce Riedel, who chaired Obama's 2009 review of Afghan policy and is now at the Brookings Institution think-tank in Washington, said a crucial factor will be the extent to which al Qaeda's core leadership in Pakistan continues to degrade.
A stronger al Qaeda in neighboring Pakistan means the United States would need a more robust counter-terrorism presence, for example, he said.
"The president is rightly not making that decision now when he doesn't have to," said Riedel, who heads the Intelligence Project at Brookings.
"He should wait and see how much success we have against (al Qaeda core)."

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. - A man from West Palm Beach died after eating dozens of cockroaches and worms as part of an eating contest, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.
Edward Archbold, 32, participated in an roach-eating contest at Ben Siegel Reptiles in Deerfield Beach on Friday evening. The winner of the contest won a python.
According to BSO, Archbold, who won the contest, started regurgitating after it was over. He later collapsed in front of the store.
Archbold was then transported to Broward Health North, where he died.
Archbold's sister, Tina, said the family is devastated by his death. She said Archbold lived alone in West Palm Beach and, although he was outgoing and friendly, was also introspective and private.
The family is now planning his funeral.
"That's insanity. I mean, you're talking about a cockroach," said Shane Santa Croce, whose daughter was at the event on Friday. "They were giving away a really expensive snake, so, you know, people do what they have to do, I guess. Not my cup of tea for sure."
"Very saddened by this. I mean, it was a shock," said Ben Siegel, the owner of the store. "Eddie was a very nice guy. We just met him that night, but everybody that works here was very fond of him. He was outgoing, he was the life of the party, and he really made our night more fun."
Siegel said contestants must sign a waiver saying they are sober and don't have allergies to shellfish, which have similar allergens to cockroaches.
Luke Lirot, a lawyer representing Siegel issued a statement, saying in part: Some facts that have come out include the fact that all participants in the contest were entirely aware of what they were doing and that they signed thorough waivers accepting responsibility for their participation in this unique and unorthodox contest. The consumption of insects is widely accepted throughout the world, and the insects presented as part of the contest were taken form an inventory of insects that are safely and domestically raised in a controlled environment as food for reptiles... Mr. Siegel and his staff did all that anyone could to try and help Mr. Archbold, and they send out their deepest sympathy to the family.
None of the other contestants had any medical issues after the contest.
Archbold's body was transported to the Broward Medical Examiner's Office for an autopsy. They are awaiting test results in order to determine a cause of death.
"At this point, I really can't talk about it too much just because we're still waiting to find out exactly what happened. We know Eddie passed away. Very, very sad," said Siegel.
BSO is investigating.

Below are reviews of the city of Covington, LA from an actual visitor's perspective.
Trey Yen Chinese restaurant. It is reminiscent of days gone by. Beautiful grounds, beautiful inside, excellent service, outstanding cocktails and the food was freshly prepared. One of the few asian places where there is no buffet these days. They even use fresh locally supplied lotus root in some dishes. The prices were very much in line with the quality.
Plenty of restaurants in the general area. Plenty of shopping too
I enjoyed the shopping in Covington and the variety of restaurants. Mandeville (right down the road) has some really neat shops as well!

Two quarterly indices produced by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) indicate a return to healthy market conditions for both new and existing apartment and condominium buildings.
The Multifamily Production Index (MPI), which tracks developer sentiment about new construction on a scale of 1 to 100, is at 40.8 — up more than five full points since the previous quarter and the highest number since the fourth quarter of 2006.
The MPI component tracking developers' perception of market-rate rental properties is at 51.7 — the first time this component of the index has been above 50 since the second quarter of 2007.
The index and all of its components are scaled so that any number greater than 50 indicates more respondents report conditions are improving than report conditions are worsening.
The Multifamily Vacancy Index (MVI) shows similar reason for optimism, declining to 33.3, which is the smallest number since the third quarter of 2006 — and half of what it was a year and a half ago. Smaller numbers indicate fewer vacancies.
Historically, the MPI and MVI have performed well as leading indicators of U.S. Census figures for multifamily starts and vacancy rates, providing information on likely movement in the Census figures one to three quarters in advance.

While the Old Macomb County building remains closed following an electrical fire from last week, officials in neighboring Oakland County are stepping up to help their counterparts in Macomb get communication and data operations back on track this week.
Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel on Sunday said county services will be limited this week due to problems with the phone and computer systems, but Oakland County expects to provide technological pathways to help restore those operations in the coming days.
'Our people and their people have literally been working around the clock and all weekend to get us back up and running,' Hackel said.
Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson said officials are working from a spreadsheet containing more than 100 items to accommodate 'loaning' cable lines, hookups and programs to allow Macomb's county government to restore its computer and phone operations.
Patterson, who has developed a close working relationship with Hackel in recent years, said 'it's what neighbors do.'
'We're doing our best to put them back in business ASAP,' Patterson said. 'I'm sure they would the same thing for us.'
A fire broke out April 17 in the old county administration building on Main Street in downtown Mount Clemens, causing severe damage to the information services and leaving the 13-story building without electricity. The pre-World War II building has no fire suppression system or backup center.
Officials hope to have the power restored this week but employees in the departments housed there are being moved to temporary offices elsewhere. A renovation of the building is expected to take several months and cost in excess of $2 million, according to the county executive's office.
In the meantime, Oakland County will provide a temporary framework for the technology to store data and records once the power is restored. Officials are also working with Macomb Community College to serve as the temporary backup site, Hackel said.
Macomb County is building a communications center as part of the county road department complex. The old county building would have served as a backup for that site under the county's original plan. Now once the center is operational, the permanent backup will be MCC.
One reason why the temporary arrangement with Oakland County is running smoothly is due to a key department head. Sandy Jurek, who became Macomb's information technology director last summer, formerly served in a similar capacity for 10 years in Oakland County government. That means she is very familiar with the systems in both counties.
Patterson said Macomb will pay for the cost of new equipment involved but doesn't plan to charge anything beyond that.
Macomb officials said phone lines to the Macomb County Circuit Court are not yet fully operational. But anyone scheduled for jury duty is still required to report this week. The circuit court is in a separate building also on Main Street.
Further updates will be posted at www.MacombGov.org.

OK, so I'm looking to trade my '06 R1200RT for a 2012 K16GTL. Right now, I have the Baehr Capo, which gives me passable bike-to-bike communications. Used to have GMRS, and the quality of communications was super, but the integration was poor.
What solutions have others found for an integrated bike-to-bike comm system that will play nicely with the GTL's Bluetooth functionality ?
Dealer showed my the Scala G9, but that uses Bluetooth for the bike-to-bike, and I've always read that Bluetooth's "normal" range is 30'.
I am also not sure that my riding buddy would want to get a new system, just because I got a new bike, so GMRS or FRS would be best for me.
clean integration is essential, and I'd REALLY like to stay cordless for the helmet.
Thoughts ?

When the pope speaks in public, it's a major event. That's why tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people are sure to gather in Saint Peter's Square at the Vatican in the hours before the pontiff appears there.
So it should come as no surprise that with the announcement today that Pope Benedict XVI has officially joined Twitter -- and will be live-tweeting responses to questions during an event on December 12 -- more than 187,000 people have already followed his account (@pontifex).
Consider it the digital version of massive crowds waiting patiently for His Holiness to come out on the balcony and share his wisdom with the world, given that until December 12, the pope's tweet count is expected to stay at zero.
Twitter did not respond to a request for comment, but it seems likely that the pope's account has already collected one of the largest groups of followers without posting any tweets in the service's history.
Of course, purists will recall that Pope Benedict XVI has, in fact, tweeted once before, just not from his own account. On June 28, 2011, tweeting from the Vatican's official account, the pontiff did share 140 holy characters, greeting the world with these words: "Dear Friends, I just launched News.va. Praised be our Lord Jesus Christ! With my prayers and blessings, Benedictus XVI."
But that was just a prelude. Few had gathered in waiting for his empty-calorie greeting, and then he was gone. Now, though, the pope will have an account that's easy to monitor, and though he likely won't be doing much tweeting himself, he'll have minions who will probably post regularly on his behalf.
But while we wait to hear what he has to say, we'll be very interested to see just how many followers come along before that first tweet is posted. Could he hit a million? God only knows.

Thou to Release Heathen in June
You'd need a checklist like on the back of a G.I. Joe action figure to keep up with all the splits and EPs Louisiana sludgers Thou put out, but when it comes to actual full-lengths, they occur somewhat less frequently, and so the news of a 2013 release for Heathen — their fourth behind the also-single-word titles Summit (2010), Peasant (2008) and Tyrant (2007) — is welcome. The band put the album to tape at the Living Room Studio in Algiers, LA, and it'll reportedly top 60 minutes, which if you're keeping track, is a whole lot o' sludge.
Adam from Gilead Media sent over confirmation of Thou's progress in the label's latest newsletter:
I spent January 5th-8th down in New Orleans hanging out with Thou while they finished up tracking for their new full-length album, Heathen.
It was great to get out of Wisconsin for a bit–particularly after 14 inches of snow in the last month and a half–and spend some time in a drastically different environment. Especially watching things come together on the new Thou record. Many thanks to the guys for hosting me while I was down there. Always a pleasure to spend some time with my favorite Louisiana folks.
Recording took place at The Living Room Studio in Algiers, LA, engineered by James Whitten. Heathen should be released on CD by Gilead Media in June, after James completes mixing and Adam Tucker at Signaturetone Recording gives it the ol' mastering treatment. Vinyl should be ready around the same time, but we haven't ironed out if the band will be releasing it themselves or not. I need to keep hammering away at Bryan to let me take care of it.
The album will ultimately clock in at around 60 minutes, their longest single piece of work to date.
I took some photos while I was in New Orleans. Whenever I travel I rarely take photos, which is a critical error since I have an awful memory. When I do take photos, it's always random stuff like this. Check it: http://www.gileadmedia.net/uncategorized/thou-heathennew-orleans-field-trip/

Kerry backpedals on controversial comment on Egypt
LONDON (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry backed away Friday from his candid comments that seemed to signal American support for the Egyptian military coup and the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi.
The U.S. has tried hard not to appear as if it is taking sides in the crisis. But when Kerry said Thursday in Pakistan that the Egyptian military was "'restoring democracy" in leading the July 3 coup, it left the impression that the U.S. backed the military action. Kerry moved quickly to defuse the flap, saying on Friday that all parties — the military as well as pro-Morsi demonstrators — needed to work toward a peaceful and "'inclusive" political resolution of the crisis.
His backpedaling came after his comments were denounced by Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, which insists that the democratically elected Morsi is the legitimate leader of Egypt.
"Does Secretary Kerry accept Defense Secretary (Chuck) Hagel to step in and remove (U.S. President Barack) Obama if large protests take place in America?" a spokesman of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, Gehad el-Haddad, asked.
The flap over Kerry's remarks came at a bad time. Just as Kerry was in London trying to clarify his statement from the day before, Deputy Secretary of State William Burns was landing in Cairo to urge Egyptian leaders to avoid violence and help facilitate a political exit strategy to end the stalemate that has paralyzed Egypt and deeply divided the country.
It is unclear if Burns will meet Morsi, who has been kept out of sight since being overthrown on July 3. The military has established a civilian government and called elections for next year, but pro-Morsi protesters say they won't break up their massive street demonstrations until he is returned to power. More than 130 Morsi supporters have been killed and hundreds of others have been injured since the military coup. Last Saturday, an estimated 80 protesters, mostly Morsi supporters, were killed in clashes with security forces in one of the worst single crackdowns on a protest in Egypt's nearly three years of turbulence.
"The last thing that we want is more violence," Kerry said before meeting in London with the foreign minister of the United Arab Emirates. "The temporary government has a responsibility with respect to demonstrators to give them the space to be able to demonstrate in peace. But at the same time, the demonstrators have a responsibility not to stop everything from proceeding in Egypt."
In his interview with Geo TV in Pakistan TV, Kerry said, "The military was asked to intervene by millions and millions of people, all of whom were afraid of a descendance into chaos, into violence," Kerry told the Pakistani television channel. "And the military did not take over, to the best of our judgment so, so far. To run the country, there's a civilian government. In effect, they were restoring democracy."
"By killing people on the roads?" the TV correspondent asked Kerry.
"Oh, no. That's not restoring democracy, and we're very, very concerned about, very concerned about that," Kerry said. "I've been in touch with all of the players there. And we have made it clear that that is absolutely unacceptable, it cannot happen."
State Department officials said Kerry's remarks about violence being "absolutely unacceptable" were an indication that the secretary was not favoring either side in the conflict, which Obama administration has painstakingly avoided calling a coup.
The Obama administration told lawmakers that it won't declare either way whether Egypt's government overthrow was a coup. Making a legal determination that the Egyptian army had ousted Morsi in a coup would have triggered a suspension in the $1.3 billion in military aid the U.S. provides each year. Conversely, a determination that a coup had not occurred would have flown in the face of the uncontested facts that the army removed Morsi from power and has detained him incommunicado in an undisclosed location for weeks.
Kerry also said that the U.S. was working with EU Foreign Minister Catherine Ashton and foreign ministers of other countries to try to find a way to help resolve the Egyptian crisis peacefully.
"The story of Egypt is not finished yet, so we have to see how it unfolds in the next days," Kerry said.

Romney's Dallas fundraiser was smack in the middle of a fresh controversy over a video of him calling the 47 percent of Americans who don't pay taxes "dependent on the government."
On Tuesday the liberal publication Mother Jones leaked the film taken during a private May fundraiser in Boca Raton, Fla. Romney said the 47 percent "believe that they are victims," "believe that government has a responsibility to care for them," "believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it."
Protesters in Dallas also chanted "let freedom ring, ca-ching, ca-ching! Let freedom ring ca-ching, ca-ching," outside the Hilton Anatole where the fundraiser was held, the CW33.com reports.
During a conference call coordinated by the Democratic National Committee, former Dallas Mayor (and current U.S. Trade Representative) Ron Kirk and Fort Worth state Rep. Marc Veasey fired back at Romney and warned his policies could hurt Texans if he's elected president.
"It appears Mitt Romney is still out of touch," said Veasey, who is heavily favored to win the new 33rd congressional district seat in the Metroplex. "He doesn't understand how people work hard everyday so they can make their mortgage and send their kids to college."
In a press conference in Costa Mesa, Calif. Monday night, Romney explained his remarks and requested the video be released in full. He said it wasn't an "elegant" way of putting it, but he stands by his comments.
"It's a message which I'm going to carry and continue to carry which is look the president approach is attractive to people who aren't not paying taxes because frankly my discussion about lowering taxes isn't as attractive to them and therefore I'm not likely to draw them in to my campaign as effectively as those who are in the middle," Romney said during the press conference. "This is really a discussion about the political process of winning the election and of course I want to help all Americans."
It wasn't enough to cool down some angry Texas Democrats.
"This is morally repugnant," Kirk said during the press conference. "Being a native Texan and having been in Texas all of my life, I can't imagine how this would help our state."

Historical landmarks are protected in California. Registering a place as a historical landmark isn't hard to do.
According to the California State Parks Office of Historic Preservation, "The State Historical Resources Commission has designed this program for use by state and local agencies, private groups and citizens to identify, evaluate, register and protect California's historical resources."
The Comité del Amor has had the opportunity to file and obtain the designation of St. Isidore as a California historical landmark since 1999. It has not obtained that designation.
There are any one of four reasons that designation can be placed on a property.
Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history or the cultural heritage of California or the United States.
Associated with the lives of persons important to local, California or national history.
Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region or method of construction or represents the work of a master or possesses high artistic values.
Has yielded, or has the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California or the nation.
In the more than 13 years that local political leaders like Marilynn Poe and Troy Edgar have been championing to "save" the facility, the state has not said that the facility meets the criterion for being designated a historical landmark.
Yes, any number of people in Los Alamitos and the surrounding areas can point to pertinent moments in their personal lives where the Roman Catholic Church that was there touched them personally. From baptisms to funerals. From confirmations to weddings.
These types of buildings and the events that we share within their walls touch us and stay with us. But that doesn't mean that they meet the criterion to be considered historical landmarks, to be "saved" from the property's ownership to do what they want with their property.
For most of the people that live in Los Alamitos the structure is a nice old building. It is not historic and not worthy of "saving" or any investment of our city's time or our tax dollars.
It's time to let the Diocese of Orange do what they want with their old property. Their options are limited, and through the Planning Commission the people in Los Alamitos will have some voice in how the property will next be used.
If the people of Los Alamitos really want to save a historical landmark, there is one still standing. It's a part of the old sugar beet factory, the lifeblood of Los Alamitos at the turn of the century.
The Diocese of Orange wants to sell their property for the best money they can get for it.
Since the property doesn't meet the criteria to be a California historical landmark, maybe it's time to pass on the personal sentimentality and let them do what they want with their property.
– JM Ivler lives in Los Alamitos.

Staff writer
For the first time in nearly three years, farmers in Marion County are on track to have three successful harvests in one year. After a record-breaking wheat harvest in June, local farmers were quick to replant fields with corn, milo, and soybeans. Those who were able to get fields planted before large rains fell will have the best yields according to local co-ops.
Heath Andres was excited his father's, Larry Andres, cornfield off 100th and Mustang Rds., was looking so good after dismal yields previous years due to drought.
"It was rough, but everything looks pretty good so far," he said. "We're thankful."
He said his father is relieved to have good yields. They are averaging 115 bushels per acre for corn and expect good numbers for beans.
Harvest started mid-last week for the Andres farm. According to Heath, they have a week's worth of corn to cut, and then will move directly to soybeans.
"We have some that should be ready anytime, so we'll have back-to-back harvests," he said. "They also look good, everything looks good. We're excited."
Orlin Ensz of rural Hillsboro wasn't able to begin harvesting corn as early as some other farmers in the Hillsboro area, because with the cool, wet spring, he didn't get crops planted as early. Now that he is harvesting, though, he is also happy with what he is seeing.
"I think it's doing 100-plus (bushels per acre)," he said. "Way, way better than the last two years."
Ensz also benefited from the timely rainfall at the end of July and early August.
Mike Thomas, manager of Marion Cooperative Grain and Supply, said the rains helped the area greatly.
He said a few farmers around Marion who brought in corn all seemed optimistic about this year's crop.
"Grain coming in is really looking pretty good," he said. "There were some pollination problems for corn when it was so hot and dry, but other than that there's little wrong with what we've seen."
He said many farmers in the Marion area have chopped corn for silage. Thomas said harvest should kick into full gear by the middle of the week.
"It's too early to tell how yields will do because most have not started cutting," he said.
Corn harvest isn't as far along around Marion, because there is more bottom ground in the area, where yields can be higher but take longer to mature.
Stan Utting, manager of Agri Producers Inc. in Tampa, said their API's in Tampa and Durham are still waiting for harvest to start.
"Most say this year is a lot better than last year," he said. "Most farmers we've talked to are pretty pleased with how things look, and are anxious for fields to dry out so they can bring the grain in."
At Hillsboro Cooperative Grain and Supply, it is a different story, after receiving less rain during the beginning of August.
"It hasn't been as wet here as in other parts of the county," grain coordinator Dick Tippin said. "We've been getting grain in since the first of September, and it's looking good."
The elevator has taken more than 350,000 bushels of corn so far according to Tippin, and farmers are pretty optimistic about their yields which average 60-120 bushels an acre — average to above average.
Tippin expects average yields to increase later as better corn is harvested.
He estimated about 2/3 of the corn around Hillsboro had been harvested by the end of Monday. He said the remaining cornfields could have even higher yields. Farmers told Tippin they thought they could get up to 150 bushels an acre on some of the remaining fields — or up to 200 bushels an acre on irrigated fields.
