Secretary of State John Kerry's?said the military coup in Egypt was 'restoring democracy.' This view confirms Muslim Brotherhood claims that the US would rather prop up a military dictatorship than accept an elected Islamic government. Leaders must choose their words accurately.
Supporters of Egypt's ousted President Mohamed Morsi walk past an anti-coup banner near Cairo University in Egypt, Aug. 12. In remarks Aug. 1, Secretary of State John Kerry's said the military takeover was 'restoring democracy,' which Ayaan Hirsi Ali calls 'an impulsive, un-thought-through remark.' Bernard-Henri Levy calls the statement Mr. Kerry's 'first mistake.'

EnlargeRecently, US Secretary of State John Kerry said in Pakistan that the overthrow of President Mohamed Morsi in Egypt was ?restoring democracy.? He has since tried to clarified his comment and said that Egypt's "temporary government has a responsibility with respect to demonstrators to give them the space to be able to demonstrate in peace." But his statement continues to make waves.?

Global Viewpoint asked Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Somali women?s rights activist and author of ?Infidel,? and the French philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy, who persuaded then-French President Nicolas Sarkozy to take military action in Libya, to respond to Kerry?s remarks.
It is a mistake for Secretary of State John Kerry, representing President Obama, to have come out with a statement like this. Honestly, when I read it, I thought he must have blurted it out. It seemed like an impulsive, un-thought-through remark.
One consequence of this, in my view, rather foolish endorsement of the military coup in Egypt is that the US confirms what the [Muslim] Brotherhood propagandists have been trying to market: namely, that the US would rather prop up a military dictatorship than accept an elected government if that government is Islamic. I am absolutely no fan of the Brotherhood or Mohamed Morsi, but Kerry just handed the Islamists a huge PR stick, not to mention that the ensuing crisis in Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East and North Africa will now be blamed squarely on the US.
The difficult question for any US administration that is committed to ?soft power? in its relationship with the Muslim world is: How can the US promote democracy and help those individuals and groups in the region who share America?s values, and at the same time avoid being accused of double standards and hostility to Islam?
Before Kerry?s words, it appeared hard to pin the usual conspiracy theories on the US. Now, every Islamist demagogue will simply replay Kerry?s words for a good long time to come.
? Ayaan Hirsi Ali
John Kerry has just blemished his otherwise good record as the new US secretary of State by committing his first mistake. One may certainly think badly of the Muslim Brotherhood. I personally believe that its past ideology represented an Arab version of fascism and that it never completely dissociated itself from this terrible past.
However, a military coup that resulted in 250 casualties in just three weeks most certainly does not qualify as ?restoring democracy.? Is this simply a matter of semantics? Perhaps, but any leader must choose the accurate words when qualifying current events. Otherwise, he commits a serious political mistake.

LONDON (Reuters) - The value of British art exports has surged to its highest level since the credit crunch, despite new rules giving deceased artists' estates a share of their work's resale price, data compiled by a Thomson Reuters unit showed on Monday.
The value of art and cultural objects exported from Britain rose by 32 percent to 1.97 billion pounds in the year to May 2012, according to a statement from Sweet & Maxwell, a legal information provider owned by Thomson Reuters.
On Jan 1, 2012, the Artist's Resale Rights Directive, which allows artists to claim a percentage of the resale value of their work, was extended to benefit the estates and heirs of artists who have been dead less than 70 years. They became entitled to up to 4 percent of an original piece's resale price. Rights in Britain previously applied only to living artists.
"Many art experts and dealers were concerned that London's position in the art world could suffer compared to New York or Hong Kong which haven't introduced any such levy on the resale of modern and contemporary art," Massimo Sterpi, co-editor of "The Art Collecting Legal Handbook", said in the Sweet & Maxwell statement.
"The early indications are that this hasn't slowed down the London market," he added.
Exports of modern art, the category most likely to be affected by the new rules, jumped by 105 percent from the previous year to 687 million pounds by May 2012, a quicker rise than the rest of the market, Sweet & Maxwell said.
"Art is an increasingly important trophy asset for international High Net Worth individuals and some argue that the concept of art as an investment received a big push from the credit crunch - which saw the value of many other assets slump," Bruno Boesch, another co-editor of "The Art Collecting Legal Handbook", said in the Sweet & Maxwell statement.
London and New York have the most multi-millionaires and billionaires respectively in the world, according to a 2012 survey by WealthInsight, a London-based wealth consultancy.
Artist's Resale Rights were fiercely opposed by the British art market when they were first introduced.
"It's not a level playing field - we would be handing a large part of our art market to our rivals on a plate," Anthony Browne, chairman of the British Art Market Federation, told The Times in 2008.
While Boesch said in the statement that long-term fears about the impact of the rights were probably exaggerated, he added that "it is still early days for the new legislation".

All Critics (75) | Top Critics (22) | Fresh (73) | Rotten (2)
This isn't an action picture; it's a picture about the suspense and terror of inaction.
Gripping and tightly focused.
Lindholm rations the meat and potatoes of plot to keep us captive at the bargaining table. It's a sadistic ploy that produces a real payoff.
A Hijacking is one of those perfect films that crop up every few years to prove that with true artistry, even the most exhausted genre can yield something new, rich, and strange.
Lindholm justifies his confidence in a visual approach that's refreshingly realistic.
To refuse to call A Hijacking a thriller is not to say it isn't thrilling, in a dryly cerebral way.
A tense, gripping drama filled with psychological showdowns from Danish writer-director Tobias Lindholm.
... has an embedded feel without being a real-life report or documentary at all. It's a fictional film that hits both with blunt force and a surprising amount of complexity.
A Hijacking is more about one incident than about how it relates universally, but in thoughtfully exploring the specifics and emotions of that incident, Lindholm is able to show how modern life sometimes seems devoid of any accord.
A lean, stressful nail-biter, smart, well-written, nicely shot and wonderfully performed.
[Omar and Mikkel are] like Marcus and McTeague in Frank Norris's 1899 novel, handcuffed to each other in a struggle that could well end in mutually assured destruction.
Tobias Lindholm's slow-burning thriller makes a bid for verisimilitude that extends well beyond the use of natural light and handheld cameras.
Though the acting in "A Hijacking" is superb, the film is strictly a "follow-the-dots" offering. This is not entertainment. It is another overwhelmingly depressing foray into corporate greed.
"A Hijacking", if eligible, is an early contender for Best Foreign film at the 2014 Academy Awards.
It's an effective piece of work that will leave you longing for a shower, a nap, and a warm meal.
It's a radical departure from any thriller in stateside theaters.
A nail-biter of the highest order, A Hijacking is astonishingly emotional, gritty, and terrifying -- a genuine directorial achievement that should not be missed.
When the gut-wrenching conclusion of A Hijacking comes in the form of a single, random act, it's only then you realize how far you've been pulled into its emotional core.
A Hijacking delivers all the thrills the title suggests, but in none of the places you'd expect them.

There has been a lot reported about Samsung?s upcoming addition to the Note series, the Galaxy Note 3. Android Police has now reported that the Note 3 will be running on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. This latest piece of information is corroborated in the DLNA certification for the device, so it's confirmed that the Note 3 will ship with the latest version of Android.
The phablet, which has the model number SM-N900S (among other variants), was listed as having support for Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac connectivity, so it's up to date on the latest in wireless connectivity too. With Google having launched the latest OS last month, there was a lot of speculation about whether the new Note 3 will get that version.
So far, all the information surfacing from rumours, suggests that the phablet will come sporting a 5.7-inch full HD display. Internally, the Note 3 may come with an Exynos 5 Octa processor or a Snapdragon 800 chip depending on the market. Added in may be a huge 3GB of RAM as well as a 13-megapixel camera with optical image stabalisation (OIS).
The DLNA certification shows that the Note 3 will run Android 4.3
?
The Note 3 will likely be the second Samsung smartphone to have an OIS-sporting camera, after the Galaxy S4 Zoom. While there are rumours and leaks abound about the comapany?s latest phablet, Samsung has lined up an official event for September 4 at IFA Berlin where it will officially unveil the device. So we don't have to wait too long to get a look at the official specs sheet.

Rusty Theron first hit a belligerent half-century before his 4 for 51 instigated an Australia A batting collapse - six wickets for 23 runs - to hand South Africa A their first win of the tri-series in Pretoria. His all-round effort outshone a century by opener Aaron Finch, who was the last man dismissed as Australia finished 19 short.
Invited to bat, South Africa were pushed back early, Josh Hazlewood removing the openers inside nine overs. Dean Elgar came to the rescue again, his half-century adding much needed stability. Wicketkeeper Dane Vilas scored a 74-ball 55 as well, but he and Hardus Viljoen fell to Gurinder Sandhu in the 39th over. Theron looted 47 runs off 25 balls with No. 11 Beuran Hendricks, and reached his half-century and the team's 250, off his second six. His 39-ball innings ended when he was caught off Sandhu, who also claimed 4 for 51.
Set a target of 253, the visitors were cruising for the bulk of the chase, with captain Finch taking charge of two big partnerships - 84 for the first wicket with Shaun Marsh and 74 for the third with Nic Maddinson - and reached his half-century off 56 balls.
Halfway through, Australia were faced with a simple asking-rate under four an over, when they suffered a wobble, as Theron dismissed Maddinson. It tipped in South Africa's favour when Viljoen accounted for Mitchell Marsh and Tim Paine in the next over. Glenn Maxwell and Chadd Sayers fell in successive Theron overs and Australia A slumped to 172 for 7 from 160 for 2.
Finch played within himself, recording his fifth List A century. But Sandhu was run out at the other end, which brought Fawad Ahmed, the last batsman, to the crease with Australia 42 runs adrift. Finch opened up slamming two of his four sixes off Viljoen in the 41st over and struck Hendricks for a four in the next to reduce the equation as 24 to win. But Finch holed out to his counterpart Ontong for 119 soon after to signal South Africa's victory.

At 2.30 am, Mohini along with seven of her friends, including three girls and four boys, all students of the university, were having a party on the fourth floor of the under-construction hostel building on the south campus of the University of Hyderabad.
According to Chandanagar police, Mohini used to stay at Ladies Hostel VIII and she along with other girl students came to south campus to join in a class get together to discuss about the arrangements for the upcoming fresher's party.
The eight-member group had gone to an under-construction building nearby and the youngsters started discussing about the arrangements they had to make. There were snacks and some group members had also consumed liquor, but Mohini did not, Chandanagar sub-inspector B James Babu said.
While the students were having fun, Mohini excused herself from the group to attend a phone call. While talking over the phone, Mohini accidentally went to the edge of the terrace and fell from there, the SI said.
Mohini suffered multiple injuries in the accident and with the assistance of university administration, her friends immediately rushed her to a corporate hospital in Jubilee Hills. Mohini succumbed to injuries while undergoing treatment at 3.45 pm.
After recording the statements of all the students, who were with Mohini when the incident happened, police ruled out a conspiracy angle. "All her friends, who were at the spot, said that it was an accident. We have sent the body to mortuary and informed her family members," Chandanagar inspector N Venkateshwarlu said. A case was registered under section 174 (Suspicious death) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC).
Some student leaders protested on Sunday morning demanding that the administration guard the under-construction buildings on the campus. "The administration should place security guards in front of these buildings to prevent such incidents from happening," S Harinath, a student leader, said.

The Hillary Project attempts to defend itself by accusing liberals of not voicing similar outrage at a Slap Palin game released a few years back, though that one appears not to have been created by a Democratic political group. Finney said the GOP should be a lot more outraged about this.
?Priebus should be using and power or influence he has to talk about this, and to say to people, regardless of whether or not you like Hillary Clinton, smacking women or promoting smacking women, particularly when you?re trying to get women voters, is not okay.?
Dean suggested Priebus doesn?t have that kind of power, and used the game to observe that ?it looks like the war on women is real.? He and Finney agreed that instead of ?encouraging? this kind of behavior, the Republican party should be ?calling this stuff out? and use the opportunity to make clear ?violence against women is bad.?

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Philip Falcone's Harbinger Capital on Friday sued agricultural equipment maker Deere & Co
The lawsuit's defendants, who include GPS companies Garmin International and Trimble Navigation Ltd
Other defendants include industry groups the U.S. GPS Industry Council and the Coalition to Save Our GPS.
Harbinger, which has spent billions of dollars on LightSquared, said in a complaint filed on Friday that it never would have made the investments if the GPS industry had disclosed potential interference problems between the LightSquared spectrum and GPS equipment between 2002 and 2009.
The hedge fund accused the defendants of fraud and negligent misrepresentation among other allegations, saying the defendants "knew years ago" all the material facts on which they based their opposition to the LightSquared network.
Deere declined to comment on the case. Garmin and Trimble representatives were not immediately available for comment.
LightSquared filed for bankruptcy protection in May 2012 after the U.S. Federal Communications Commission revoked permission to build out a new high-speed wireless network after tests showed that its network would interfere with GPS systems.
Harbinger filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan. Garmin International is a subsidiary of Garmin Ltd

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The GOP addressed the issue of America's energy sector.
South Carolina Senator Tim Scott said the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee are working to create jobs in the energy sector, while also saving money for Americans.
However, Scott said President Obama and other Democrats are blocking some of those plans.
"We want a true all-of-the-above energy strategy, because a diverse, market-based energy portfolio of nuclear, wind, solar and other renewables means more competition and lower prices for consumers," he said. "Republicans will work to stop government policies that are driving up energy costs preventing businesses from hiring new employees."
Scott also said the Republicans' plan would help lower energy costs benefit the middle class.

Washington players and coaches celebrate after Jack Titus (38) scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the sixth inning to eliminate on Idaho Thursday. Eastlake Little League, from Washington, scored the winning run in the bottom of the 6th on a wild pitch to eliminate Coeur d'Alene Little League, from Idaho, 5-4 at the Little League Western Regional Tournament at Al Houghton Stadium in San Bernardino. (Will Lester / Staff Photographer)
SAN BERNARDINO - Austin Oh was always part of the team, even though he missed all of the district and state qualifying tournaments with a broken arm.
For the kid who says he thrives in pressure, he got his chance Thursday night.
Oh's single to center scored the tying run and moments later Jack Titus scored the winning run on a wild pitch and Eastlake Little League of Sammamish, Washington rallied to down Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, 5-4 in the second Northwest Regional semifinal on Thursday night at Al Houghton Stadium.
Washington advances to play Montana for the championship game Saturday at 2 p.m.
"I wish I knew what it was," Washington manager Rob Chandler said of his team's ability to rally late in games. "If I did, I'd bottle it."
Despite managing only one hit in the game, fourth-seeded Idaho took a 4-3 lead on top-seeded Washington to the bottom of the sixth inning.
Pinch-hitter Jack Rud led off with a walk. Idaho starter Anton Watson had to leave at that point, because he had reached the 85-pitch limit.
After an out, Jack Titus singled past the third baseman to put runners on first and second.
That brought up Oh, who had broken his arm falling off monkey bars two days
after the all-star rosters came out. Chandler added a player (giving them 14 total) and kept Oh on, and he finally returned for the Northwest Regional."He was still a part of our team," Chandler said.
With the count 0-2, Oh singled to center.
"I like the pressure," Oh said. "... When I was down 0-2, I thought he (Kobe Sims) might try and throw one in the dirt. But it wasn't in the dirt."
Oh's hit scored Rud from second base, and the throw to the plate put runners on second and third. With Bryce Delay up, a wild pitch allowed Titus to score the game-winner.
"We feel very fortunate and very happy. It's great to be in the finals," Chandler said.
A great pitching performance by Jacob Dahlstrom was nearly all for naught. He pitched 5 1/3 hitless innings, striking out eight before coming out when he reached the 85-pitch limit.
"I wish they didn't have the pitch limits," Dahlstrom admitted.
Brandon Gay got Idaho's only hit, a two-out double in the sixth against Jack Matheson.
Idaho scored all of its runs in the second inning on a hit batter, a walk, two errors, a fielder's choice and two wild pitches to take a 4-1 lead. Idaho had only one other baserunner in the game, Gay's double in the sixth.
Washington chipped away, scoring a run in the fourth when Jack Matheson doubled and scored on an error by the right fielder. Dalton Chandler's RBI double in the fifth brought washington to within 4-3.
"I give them (Washington) a lot of credit," Idaho manager Paul Manzardo said. "But I'm proud of our kids. I hope they take what they feel right now and turn it into something positive."
