STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– WWE (NYSE:WWE – News) today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2011. Revenues totaled $142.6 million as compared to $106.8 million in the prior year quarter. Operating income was $21.0 million as compared to $10.3 million in the prior year quarter. Net income was $14.3 million, or $0.19 per share, as compared to $6.3 million, or $0.08 per share, in the prior year quarter. There were several items that impacted the comparability of our year-over-year results, primarily the timing of our annual WrestleMania® event and a $3.3 million film impairment charge in the current year quarter. Adjusting for these items in both the current and prior year quarters (as described below), adjusted revenues increased 5% to $142.6 million from $135.6 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Operating income declined 2% to $22.9 million from $23.4 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net income was $15.5 million, or $0.21 per share, as compared to $15.1 million, or $0.20 per share, in the prior year quarter.
"Through the second quarter, WWE has generated top-line growth across our four business segments led by the strength of WrestleMania. WrestleMania XXVII achieved more than 1 million pay-per-view buys worldwide and reached record levels of both revenue and profit," stated Vince McMahon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our earnings, however, were constrained by the performance of our movie business, adverse home video sales trends, and the status of our talent development. Key operating metrics, such as average live event attendance and pay-per-view buys showed declines in the second quarter when evaluated on a comparable basis to last year (excluding WrestleMania). But, while our key metrics were down, the gap to our prior year performance continued to diminish. We believe this trend demonstrates that we are making important progress on our talent development and creative initiatives. As we continue to evaluate the potential of different forms of distribution, such as a WWE Network, we are more confident than ever that we can create and monetize content in a variety of existing and new media, and thereby create meaningful incremental value for our shareholders."
Comparability of Results
WrestleMania XXVII occurred on April 3, 2011 and contributed $35.9 million of revenues, $16.7 million of profit contribution ($11.4 million, net of tax) and $0.15 of EPS from across various business lines to our current year second quarter results. In conjunction with the promotion of this event, $1.4 million in marketing expenses were recognized in the first quarter of 2011. WrestleMania XXVI occurred on March 28, 2010, and contributed $28.8 million of revenues, $13.1 million of profit contribution ($8.8 million, net of tax) and $0.12 of EPS to our first quarter of 2010 results. In order to facilitate an analysis of our financial results on a more comparable basis, where noted, we have adjusted our results to include the promotional costs (discussed above) in our second quarter of 2011 results and added the impact of WrestleMania XXVI to the second quarter of 2010 results. In addition, the current year quarter included a $3.3 million impairment charge related to our film, That's What I Am. We have also adjusted our second quarter of 2011 results to exclude the impact of this charge. (See Schedules of Adjustments in Supplemental Information). Please note that our revised film strategy utilizing a self-distribution model may also impact the comparability of results but is not adjusted in the aforementioned schedules.

Kevin Mannix promised voters in 1994 that his Ballot Measure 11 establishing minimum mandatory sentences would create certainty in Oregon's criminal justice system. While the measure tripled the state's prison population over 20 years, a new report by the state Criminal Justice Commission finds that Measure 11 not only failed to deliver certainty, it has cost the state billions of dollars while it shifting sentencing power from the hands of judges to those of district attorneys - a shift many see as dangerous.
Al Jazeera reported this morning that the Japanese Prime Minister had been heard shouting at the head of TEPCO, the nuclear power corporation in Japan, ""What the hell is going on?!"

Recent Rotonda West reviews
"Our entire family was happily relaxed in this beautiful, spacious villa, located on a quiet street away from traffic. Besides being well-furnished and clean, the villa provided beach towels, hair dryers, swimming pool floats and toys, kitchen utensils, and even a hand mixer for the birthday cakes we made. We would certainly recommend this home to others looking for a relaxing vacation spot. Our family hopes to make an on-going tradition of vacationing here. Many thanks to the owners, Nigel and Barbara!"Guest: Edna S. Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: July 19, 2015View listing
"We have stayed on Rotonda West on a number of occasions over the last years and this is the first time we have stayed on Circle Road. The villa is a little smaller than others we have stayed in, but for a family of 4 it was more than adequate. It has two large double bedrooms and good sized twin. The kitchen is a good size and is really well appointed.. The house has everything that you need and more... the cupboards are stocked with all the little things you need to make it feel like home... all they ask is that if you finish something, you replace it. So nice to have herbs, spices, flours etc to cook with. The pool area is nice and you get sun and shade in equal parts. The river at the back has a resident aligator that passes every night. In the front garden there is a grumpy tortoise that lives in a burrow.. Considering the money we paid for this house, it was great, great value. It is also actually well located for the exit to gasprilla island. Well worth the stay."Guest: Pieboy Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 12, 2015View listing
"This property exceeded my expectations in every way!! It was spotless and had everything one could need and more! The location was great for visiting several beaches and the quiet, private setting was great for just relaxing by the pool! The owners thoughtfully left notes and information for area restaurants and other local attractions. I had to call the management company for a minor question and received a prompt call back with excellent results. Not only would I recommend this property to others, I hope to stay here again!!"Guest: Melissa U. Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: May 26, 2015View listing
"Home was beautiful. Stayed for 2 weeks. Pool was clean and warm (mid 80s). Furnishings and beds were very good. Very clean. Neighbors were quiet. Golf green fees included for 2 people so u only need to pay for a cart ($20 per person - or walk for free after 3). Will stay again if we return to this area. Felt like home."Guest: bb Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: January 7, 2015View listing

Samsung Galaxy Tab (P7100): 10.1-inch tablet now official
Samsung has, as Pocket-lint exclusively broke on Friday, announced a new 10.1-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab (the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2) at its keynote conference on Sunday night at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The new tablet, still dubbed the Samsung Galaxy Tab, will be launched in co-operation with Vodafone and come with a 1GHz dual-core processor, a 10.1-inch (WXGA TFT LCD) touchscreen with a 1280 x 800 resolution and running the latest version of Android - Honeycomb (3.0).
Going for a thin and light approach, the new Samsung Galaxy Tab will weigh 599g and be super thin - at just 10.9mm.
Other features hoping to help it stand out from the crowd include an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with auto focus and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video calling.
Connectivity includes HSPA+ 21Mbps, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, while it will come with low power DDR2 memory and 6860mAh battery.
Users will also get Flash 10.1 support and dual surround-sound speakers to provide full audio immersion. Formats supported include MPEG4/H263/H264 and the device will support 1080p Full HD video playback at 30fps and 1080p Full HD video recording at 24fps.
Other points of note include a gyroscope, accelerometer, digital compass and proximity sensors.
Unfortunately Samsung or Vodafone hasn't as yet mentioned when they hope to make the new Samsung Galaxy Tab available to buy.

Pity the poor parish priest. Father James (Brendan Gleeson) is just trying to live a godly life and is encouraging his flock to do the same, but they keep "dragging you down into the muck," as a fellow man of the cloth puts it.
The rumored town slut openly flirts with him. Adulterers meet for their rendezvous right in front of him. He lives in a single bare room, but he is forced to watch as a filthy rich parishioner defaces an almost priceless Hans Holbein painting.
Even worse, one of them declares he's going to murder Father James. "Sunday week, let's say."
SEE ALSO: MOVIE REVIEW: 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'
"Calvary," as you might have gathered, is a film unlike any other in the cineplex right now. It's not just its surprisingly seamless shifts from corrosive comedy to deathly drama, and back again. It's the sensitivity and insight with which it deals with the very serious questions its characters confront — and force the audience to face.
The "whiskey priest" has been a familiar trope since Graham Greene coined the term, referring to the anti-hero of his 1940 masterpiece "The Power and the Glory." Writer-director John Michael McDonagh surprises us by making his Catholic cleric a thoroughly good man. Father James does have a daughter, Fiona (a delightful Kelly Reilly), but not from any illicit tryst — he found his vocation after his wife died. He lives plainly, he hasn't touched the bottle in years, and he goes out of his way to help his parishioners find their way.
That's exactly why one of them wants to kill him. The mystery man — Father James recognizes his voice in the confessional, but the audience is left to guess his identity — was an innocent victim of a pedophilic priest years ago. So in revenge, he will murder an innocent of that profession. Father James has a week to get his papers in order. And think of something to say to his would-be killer: The declaration in the confessional renders him quite speechless.
Who might the madman be? There is no shortage of possibilities in this small town in Ireland's County Sligo. There's the atheist doctor (Aidan Gillen), the angry publican (Pat Shortt), the sexually frustrated youngster (Killian Scott).
All are played to perfection, but two suspects really shine: Chris O'Dowd (so memorable as the love interest in "Bridesmaids") is the butcher Jack, married to the flirtatious Veronica (a luminous Orla O'Rourke), who's having an affair with foreigner Simon (Isaach De Bankole, who was given more to do in "The Limits of Control"). He doesn't know what to do with his wayward wife — "I think she's bipolar. Or lactose intolerant. One of the two." But then, it doesn't seem like he really cares. Dylan Moran (who starred in and co-wrote the hilarious British sitcom "Black Books") is the rich Michael Fitzgerald, whose constantly repeated refrain about everything from the Holbein painting to a pen is, "It's really expensive."
Mr. McDonagh and Mr. Gleeson previously collaborated on the director's debut, "The Guard," a seriously black comedy and one of 2011's best films. There are plenty of side-splitting lines in "Calvary," too, but here Mr. McDonagh makes room for more reflection. Just about everywhere Father James goes, he's treated to some anti-Catholic comment, sometimes referencing monetary corruption but more often about the moral corruption that's led one of the townsmen to lunacy.
Father James can't — and doesn't — deny some of the charges against the church. But "Calvary" ends up a deeply religious film nonetheless. The thoughtful script is aided here by the great actor who utters much of it. Mr. Gleeson turns what in lesser hands might have been a cardboard cutout into a painfully real man.
"You have to detach yourself," Father James tells the fellow priest who complains that the parishioners bring him down. Father James discovers that attitude was wrong.
Detachment isn't a virtue. It's certainly something impossible to feel while watching this unexpectedly complicated comedy.

Tina Jensen was born in Los Angeles, but lived in Montana, New York and again in California before moving to Boise. Travels to Africa, South America, Europe and post-Katrina New Orleans inspired her to pursue a career in journalism.
Her reporting on food waste was published in The Huffington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Daily News, Contra Costa Times, Long Beach Press Telegram, and Daily Breeze. She's worked as a news assistant at KABC in Los Angeles and reported for various television outlets in Southern California including KBAK and KBFX in Bakersfield.
Before that, she was a network intern for "NBC Nightly News" with Brian Williams and the "Today" show.
She received an award from the Society of Professional Journalists for the four-part multimedia series she produced on the 10th anniversary of the Columbine tragedy. She has also received the Hal Fishman Award from the Radio and Television News Association's Golden Mike Awards.

Quincy, IL - Jan 16, 2008 - India's Sun TV has standardized on Broadcast Electronics' Audiovault digital media system for all 45 of its FM radio stations. The studio automation systems are part of a larger acquisition of studio and transmitter products supplied to Sun TV in the past year due to the expansion of FM privatization in India.
Sun TV, the parent company of Kal Radio, South-Asia FM and Udaya FM, chose BE's Audiovault with integrated Music Master music scheduling software for on-air and production operations in large and small communities. Among the station requirements for the system were on-air reporting functions unique to the country. The systems were also customized to integrate with SAP business applications used by Sun TV for accounting and spot management functions.
More than half the stations have begun implementation of the studio systems. The remaining stations will be installed over the next few months.

We will be driving from NO along the coast and down the east coast of Florida.( only about half way down.) Neither of us have ever been here ; time is not an issue ,we can take as many days as we want. Is there much to see along the Pensacola coast and can anyone help with a driving route ( perhaps there is only one? lol), and suggest towns etc. After 2 weeks in NO we are looking for small towns, nice scenery, good food and a relaxed time.
thank you for any ideas you might have.

If you are going to St. Petersburg, do you mean you will be driving down the WEST coast? Otherwise you will be going out of your way.
Pensacola has the National Museum of Naval Aviation, an old (and tall) lighthouse, several historic forts, and the Blue Angels flight team (which might be practicing when you visit), all at the naval air station southwest of town. Definitely worth a visit.
The downtown area has a number of small but interesting museums. More info is available at http://www.visitpensacola.com
If you want the slow but scenic route, take US 98 headed east from Pensacola, cross one bridge to Gulf Breeze, and then cross a second bridge to Pensacola Beach and take SR 399. If you head west, you can detour to visit Fort Pickens, another historic (and scenic) fort http://www.nps.gov/guis/planyourvisit/fort-pickens.htm
Head east on 399 to Navarre Beach and cross back to the mainland (you won't have a choice). Continue on US 98 east until you get to CR 30A (there's a sign for Topsail Hill Preserve State Park), and take it along the gulf. Also in the area is Eden Gardens Sate Park (north of US 98, off CR 395) — http://www.floridastateparks.org/edengardens/default.cfm
CR 30A joins US 98 again in Rosemary Beach. In a couple of miles you will be in Panama CIty Beach. You can stay on US 98 or take the slower (not sure how much more scenic it is) Front Beach Road, which is by the water, until it rejoins 98.
US 98 will hen take you to Port St. Joe, where you can turn off on SR 30A. You might want to detour off SR 30A to visit Cape San Blas, a favorite of several Fodorites. Heading east on 30A, you will reach Apalachicola, an interesting and scenic little town. At Eastpoint there is a bridge to St. George Island (SR 300), another Fodorite favorite.
Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park, near Crawfordville, is a bit of Old Florida that you might enjoy. Tallahassee is not far from Wakulla Springs, if you want to spend a day there.
US 98 goes inland from here to about Crystal River, north of St. Pete, because the coast is more muddy than sandy. You could take CR 349 from Old Town down to Suwannee, near the mouth of the Suwannee River. Another detour that might be worth your while is CR 345 from Chiefland to SR 24 to Cedar Key (on the return just stay on 24 all the way back to 98).
At Crystal River US 98 nears the coast again. You'll probably want to take US 19 where it splits from 98 and visit Homosassa Springs State Park (one of several places you can see manatees) http://www.floridastateparks.org/homosassasprings/
Weeki Wachee Springs (another bit of Old Florida, famous for its mermaids) is just south of Homosassa Springs. http://www.floridastateparks.org/weekiwachee/default.cfm
Continuing on US 19 will take you to Tarpon Springs (another bit of Old Florida, noted for its sponge fishing industry) and eventually into St. Pete.
There have been quite a few postings on places to eat and stay along the northern Gulf coast, and you can search the forum for those, but I am guessing people might chime in with their favorites. I am not familiar with the postings about or offerings in the area between Crystal River and St. Petersburg.
Have fun!
By the way, what time of year are you going?

Ackislander, I've driven and/or ridden most of that route (from Pensacola to Homosassa Springs) and been to most of the places I listed, although in some cases it has been MANY years ago!

Cranachin has given you wonderful driving directions! We have been that way more than once and loved it. You will pass thru a lot of beach towns. We stayed in Cape San Blas 4 winters and dearly loved it. Once you pass thru Port St Joe, take 30A about 7 miles or so to 30 E and turn right onto the Peninsula. There are rental homes here right on the ocean. You could use VRBO or Google for realty companies. Or if you wanted a B&B stay on 30A to Indian Pass: http://www.turtlebeachinn.com/ From this area you could continue on to Apalachicola and St George Island, etc....

Moto GP 07 - Xbox 360
4.0 stars
Glorious riding model, gorgeous looks
Dodgy frame rate at corners, frustrating AI, not a huge leap from last year's version
Yearly updates can be frustrating things. You shell out a huge lump of your hard earned cash on the latest and greatest release, only to find yourself splashing out all over again a year later for a barely improved version of the same game.
Doesn't helped that these online obsessed days of ours means that finding an owner of the last version willing to take you on over the old internet is about as easy as breaking into the first team line-up at Old Trafford.
For the uninitiated, the Moto GP series has always been about hardcore biking action. Where most racers rely on arcade style handling to tempt you in, Moto GP has consistently been most unwelcoming to newcomers with its duel breaking system, and devilishly difficulty opposition racers.
This year's version is no different. The hardcore single player racing returns fully intact, as does the initially confusing (but ultimately rewarding) control method.
The independent breaking system, allowing you to slow down with either wheel with the two shoulder trigger buttons works an absolute charm. Slam on the back break and you'll be able to powerslide your way around corners to keep your speed tip top, and save the front for only those wickedly tight corners where a slow turning speed is a necessity.
Single-player is where you'll spend the majority of your time, and the career mode will no doubt be remarkably familiar to long term fans of the series. In this particular option, you'll create your own unique rider, and take then on a journey over a number of years encompassing various world championships in order to try and reach the very panicle of the sport. Don't expect to see the outside world too often if you find yourself thoroughly addicted to this particular mode.
An extra hint of razzmatazz is included before each race to spice things up a little, with the kind of hype you usually see before each race in the real world. It all gets a little repetitive after a season or two, but at least it makes things seem a little more important than suddenly finding yourself sat squarely on a bike.
This additional allusion of glamour aside, 07 doesn't improve over 06 too hugely in terms of sheer aesthetics. Though an extra slice of details been levelled upon almost every part of the game world, and the bikes moving with unnerving accuracy, the same old frame rate issues remain. Head into that first packed corner, and things slow down to a slow crawl as your Xbox 360 struggles to cram in all that detail in a speedy manner. The addition of HDR lighting effects make things look pretty stunning when they're required mind you.
Not quite so hot is the AI of your opposition riders, who seem to act like you're not even out there on the track. They'll bump into and jostle realistically enough, but they'll still drive and turn right into you without even a thought to their own well being. A major miss.
Though a definite improvement over last years version, and scored accordingly, Moto GP 07 still has a few notable flaws that stop it from competing with the very best car racing titles available.
Go for it if you love your bikes, but car racing fans might want to try before they buy.

Katey Sagal Celebrates '26 Years' of Sobriety at 17th Annual Prism Awards
The "Son's of Anarchy'" actress and other stars came out to honor onscreen depictions of substance abuse and mental health
Caterina Scorsone, Julie White, Mackenzie Phillips, Dr. Drew Pinsky, and Ben Mackenzie were among the stars who gathered at The Beverly Hills Hotel for the 17th Annual Prism Awards, held Thursday.
The event––presented by the Entertainment Industries Council Inc.–– put the focus on drug addiction and mental health, by unveiling the honorees for gripping depictions of them in both television and film.
While the winners will not be made public until the ceremony airs Sept. 14, The Hollywood Reporter spoke with several of the event's nominees and attendees about their involvement with the awards.
Son's of Anarchy and former Married…with Children actress Katey Sagal told THR she had struggled with alcoholism but had been sober for 26 years. She said the media can help shed light on such issues.
"I know the importance of dispelling the secret, feeling like you're not alone, seeing the consequences and relating to them, to get yourself help," she said. All those things are the service that's provided by accurate depictions in media."
Sagal, who played Peggy Bundy on Children, had another cause for celebration when she was reunited during the ceremony with Modern Family's Ed O'Neill––her former co-star on the long-running sitcom.
Grimm's Silas Weir Mitchell also shared why he was involved the Prism Awards.
"It's important to reflect people with mental health challenges back to them, and out into the world as people who need compassion, people who need to be understood, and people who need support," he said. "We can learn what they're going through, and they can learn from us."
The awards ceremony airs Sept. 14 on FX. Find the list of nominees here.

It took more than a year to get the print quality of Richard Misrach's book On the Beach (Aperture) to the photographer's satisfaction, but it was time well spent: Each of Misrach's trademark aerial landscapes is worthy of hanging on your wall. So cut it up, frame a 16-by-20-inch image or two, and be satisfied that you spent $85 on 80 pages of ultrahigh-res photography.

Hair-raising fashion! Would YOU pay £2,499 for a fur coat made from male CHEST HAIR?
- Commissioned by 'Wing Co.' drink as protest against 'manning-down' of British men
- Made from over one million strands of male chest hair
- Took team of fashion designers over 200 hours to create
- Costs £2,499 to buy
From Lady Gaga's meat dress to necklaces made from pheasant's skulls, some designers use all sorts of weird and wonderful materials in the name of fashion.
But the latest design is really quite hair-raising.
One company has unveiled the world's first fur coat made from 100 per cent male chest hair.
Hairy! The world's first fur coat made from 100 per cent male chest hair has been made as a protest against the widespread 'manning-down' of British men
The coat was commissioned by milk drink for men, Wing Co., as a protest against the widespread 'manning-down' of British men, typified by clean-shaven chests and emasculating fashion.
The coat, which features over one million strands of male chest hair, took a team of fashion designers over 200 hours to create and carries a hefty price tag of £2,499.
Intricate: The coat features over one million strands of male chest hair, took a team of fashion designers over 200 hours to create and carries a price tag of £2,499
Whilst this may be the first garment to be designed using chest hair, human hair has been a popular and wacky choice of material for years.
A Croatian company, Artidjana, once designed an entire dress with 165ft of blonde human hair.
And Thelma Madine's Nico dressmakers, which has featured on Channel Four's Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, created a wedding dress made from human hair, which took over 300 hours to make and weighed 15 stone.

what is your topic or experience when you talk to a foreigner? especially the first time
it is hard sometime to find a interesting and acceptable topic
and it is awkward when there seems nothing to say.However you still want to keep conversation going
Hi Wendy~
Talking with a foreigner should not be very different than speaking with a non-foreigner. In fact, I think it should be easier! Two people from different cultures would have a lot to learn from each other. Please feel free to talk about anything in the same manner as you would when meeting a non-foreigner for the first time. :)
To me, the first conversation is always the easiest because it's a good time to get to know each other. Ask questions about each other and try to see what interests or opinions you have in common - or, if you have opposing opinions, that sometimes makes for an interesting conversation too.
P.S. Just a few quick corrections, in case you're interested:
It is hard sometimes to find an interesting and acceptable topic.
And it is awkward when there seems to be nothing to say, but you still want to keep the conversation going.

Why Am I So ShyHi, I am new here. I was always a shy child. My mother was extremely shy. This makes it difficult to connect with people. So this is where I think the social anxiety comes from. I always felt alone. Probably because I have a very small family. I was not emotionally connected to...

Hi, I'm Bea. I suppose I amrather shy, I come across as rather blunt and un interested. But I guess I just like to get to know people before I show people my true self. I understand that's a lot of work for people. But that's just the way I am.. So I'm sorry.

Extremely. But I'm sort of forcing myself to beactive here, and so far I've met a good few of kind people. So I guessing putting effort into anything yields some results.
I can't talk to strangers.I just can't. I start stuttering and speaking really softly to the point that every sentence I say, they ask "What?" It gets really embarrassing... I also hate using the phone or any type of video chat. I'd rather text that person than have to deal with the awkward silences...

Israeli murdered in Gaza
Monday 19 April 1993
Arabs hacked an Israeli lawyer to death with axes and knives in the occupied Gaza Strip yesterday, according to security sources and witnesses, Reuters reports from Gaza City. A European Community spokeswoman said the dead man, Jan Feinberg, was a lawyer for a consulting firm that advises the EC on aid grants for Gaza housing and other needs. The radical Palestinian Red Eagle guerrilla group claimed responsibility for the attack. Israeli troops shot and wounded 17 Arabs in clashes yesterday in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian sources said.

Eddy Burke & the Consequences
Eddy Burke's folk smirks with a smart, other-side-of-the-tracks wisdom. Taking on a variety of influences, it ranges from moments of rock 'n' roll to deeply affecting folk romanticism. His more sparse acoustic tracks have the old-timey sound of a wayfaring troubadour, like gravel under the tires of a Model T Ford, while other songs are more rousing and upbeat. Burke's live performances are a treat, his vocals reminiscent of Jonathan Richman's articulated lilt. To anyone who hasn't seen him live, he remains among coal, a diamond waiting to be discovered. Opening the evening is the Chicago-based country-folk of Melinda Bosco. 21+.

If this is the only thing that will save the country, it doesn't deserve to be saved. The very idea that such pseudo-patriotism should overcome the damage done by our legislative and executive office holders is nothing short of frightening. Take into account that the pledge was the idea of a defrocked socialistic cleric who imagined a one-world government one day with America leading the way, and then you begin to see just how misguided the pledge and the mandatory recitation of it is. This needs to be vetoed.

This looks like an example of treating a symptom rather than the real problem(s). Kids not reciting the pledge at school or feeling unpatriotic are only symptoms of deeper, harder-to-solve problems like apathy and ingratitude. Forced patriotism also sounds a lot more like the oppressive tyranny that leads to revolutions rather than the Âliberty...for all included in the pledge itself.

JASON BEAN, LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Angry Ron Paul supporters overtook a special caucus Saturday night for religious voters who honor the Sabbath, prompting long lines, frantic GOP officials and voter fraud complaints.
The Las Vegas caucus was supposed to start hours after the rest of the state concluded its Republican presidential caucuses. But party officials were still frantically trying to sign in voters an hour after it was scheduled to start, further delaying election results from Nevada's most populous county.
Part of the trouble was some Paul supporters told voters they could show up for the late-night caucus at a suburban Jewish private school for whatever reason. But voters could only participate if they signed a declaration affirming that they couldn't vote during the regular morning caucuses because of their faith.
Most supporters signed the declaration without hesitation, after confirming to an Associated Press reporter that they had missed the earlier caucuses for other reasons.
Stay-at-home mother Cindy Koogler, 33, said she tried to vote in the morning, but was turned away after arriving an hour late because she was caring for her young son. A Paul supporter told her about the Saturday night caucus.
"When you have a kid and he's in the middle of potty-training, you can't take him with you," she said of the morning vote.
Koogler said she signed the declaration saying she was a religious voter and was not questioned.
But one Paul supporter refused to go along with the ruse, saying Republican leaders were encouraging voters to perjure themselves and refusing to move from the head of the line as Jewish rabbis, families with young children and elderly voters patiently waited in line behind him to be allowed into the caucus location.
"People are lying as they are walking in," the protester, high school teacher Stephen McLancon, yelled at organizers. "You are setting them up to lie."
Clark County GOP chair David Gibbs said he wasn't sure how officials would address the voters who weren't actually there because of the Sabbath, adding that it was up to each person to tell the truth.
"They have to make that decision for themselves when they sign it," Gibbs said.
The Paul surge paid off. He won the special caucus with 183 votes. Romney came in second with 61, Gingrich had 57 and Santorum had 16 votes.
The unprecedented contest for religious voters who observe Saturday as a holy day was intended as a sign of inclusivity as Republicans court Jewish voters ahead of the November general election. But it also added to various delays in the release of the election results in Clark County, where most Nevada Republicans live, because local GOP officials refused to provide vote tallies until all ballots had been cast.
Adding to the intrigue was the fact that the school was founded by and named after casino titan and Jewish activist Sheldon Adelson, who has prolonged Newt Gingrich's struggling campaign by pumping $10 million into a pro-Gingrich super PAC. GOP officials said Adelson came up with the idea for the special caucus last month, but he denied it.
Adelson, who is not an orthodox Jew, sat at the front of the school auditorium where the vote was held with his wife, only days after his spokesman told reporters they would not attend the caucus because the couple could vote in the morning.
To fight off accusations of foul play, party officials asked voters to sign the declaration and essentially promise there would be no funny business. Campaign operatives for Mitt Romney and Paul had expressed concern in recent weeks that the alternative caucus would allow people to manipulate the election results by voting twice.
