By BOB LEWIS | AP Political Writer RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - With Republican Ken Cuccinelli and Democrat Terry McAuliffe about even and neither very popular in a new statewide poll, Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis is gleaning enough support to affect the Virginia governor's race. Quinnipiac University's poll shows McAuliffe favored by 44 percent of 1,005 likely voters, Cuccinelli with 41 percent and little-known Libertarian Sarvis with 7 percent. The results for the major party candidates are within the margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. The last third-party or independent Virginia gubernatorial candidate, former state Sen. Russ Potts, got just 2 percent of the vote in 2005. Thirty-eight percent viewed McAuliffe favorably and the same share viewed him unfavorably. Fifty-one percent held an unfavorable opinion of Cuccinelli to 34 percent who saw him favorably.

Stay neutral on Diaoyu Islands, China tells US

Posted on by

Beijing, Sep 18 (IANS) China Wednesday urged the US to "strictly abide by" its commitment to neutrality on the Diaoyu Islands issue.

"We hope the US will abide by its commitment, speak and act cautiously, maintain the regional peace, stability and the overall situation of Sino-US relations with concrete action," China's foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei said.

Hong made the remarks in response to comments by US State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki on the sovereignty disputes.

Psaki said Tuesday that the US position on the Diaoyu Islands has not changed, and it does not take sides on the sovereignty of these islands.

Last week, in a meeting with Japan's New Komeito party chief Natsuo Yamaguchi, US Deputy Secretary of State William Burns reportedly reaffirmed the US backing for Japan in its dispute with China over the Diaoyu Islands, Japanese news agency Kyodo quoted a lawmaker in Yamaguchi's delegation as saying.

"We have noted the US remarks," said Hong, stressing that the Diaoyu Islands and the adjacent islets are China's inherent territories.

The disputed islands are known as the Senkaku islands in Japan and the Diaoyu Islands in China.

Could the Scottish Islands become the next Jersey?

Posted on by

In less than a year Scotland is voting on whether to leave the UK, but far from being a simple decision on whether Scotland wants to manage its own affairs, there could be a spanner in the works.

Earlier this year the islands of Shetland, Orkney and the Western isles decided to use the independence vote as an opportunity to push for their own constitutional reform; a decision that could have far reaching consequences not only for the islands but also for Scotlands bid for independence.

To understand this debate its worth putting the islands concerns into some context. At least as British as Scottish

These islands have their own cultural and musical traditions that are different from the mainland; they also have a unique history.

The islands only became part of Scotland in the 15th century when they were given to Scotland as part of a Norwegian princesss dowry, before that they were part of Norway and spoke a Nordic dialect. That means theyve spent longer being ruled by Westminster than Edinburgh.

The Scandinavian country is often considered the spiritual home of the islanders, not Scotland. This was in focus 36 years ago when Shetlanders voted overwhelmingly against an independent Scotland.

[What would REALLY happen if Britain left the EU?]

The trouble for Scottish Nationalists is the seas that surround the islands are rich in oil and gas reserves, holding some 20% of all UK reserves. Shetland is very influential in the North Sea oil and gas industry and the push for Home Rule could give the islands the lions share of Scotlands oil and gas reserves.

The islands are also attractive as a renewable source of energy. For example, Orkney has attracted billions in renewable energy investment in recent years. The importance of the islands in Scotlands energy industry could be what scuppers the Scottish independence lobbys bid for freedom.

Scottish independence hinges on Scotland being able to fund itself on the back of oil and gas revenues, but the islands are starting to object to the rest of Scotland taking their revenues when the oil is on their lands.
