NEW YORK (AP) - NBC News says its longtime correspondent and language cop Edwin Newman has died. He was 91.
Newman did political and foreign reporting on various NBC News programs during 34 years with the network, which ended with his retirement in 1984. He also had a side career as the author of the best sellers "Strictly Speaking" and "A Civil Tongue," which dealt with the proper use of the language.
He hosted a series called "Speaking Freely" with hourlong conversations with notables in many fields.
After his retirement, Newman portrayed himself on various television programs, including a "Saturday Night Live" skit where he manned a suicide hot line and kept correcting a caller's grammar.

On Thursday, Scots will vote on whether Scotland should be an independent state. Such a referendum seemed unlikely 10 years ago. A Yes vote would have seemed even more surprising. This is an attempt to explain why the vote is happening – and why it is happening now – for interested and befuddled people from all over the world. In other words, it is a history of 1,000 years of Scottish nationalism. Read more
The defining characteristic of recent polling on the independence referendum has been convergence, not volatility. Six new polls were released over the weekend. They affirm patterns evident since August: a narrow (and narrowing) No lead based on voting patterns among different genders, ages and social classes. If Yes were to win on Thursday it would be cause for serious reflection for all of the pollsters.
After the shock of its poll last week showing the Yes side ahead in the Scottish independence referendum, YouGov's latest is a return to relative calm. Based on an online survey carried out between Tuesday and Thursday of this week, the pollster puts the Yes side on 48 per cent and No on 52 per cent, excluding undecideds.
If the poll released by Survation on Wednesday evening were the only poll about the independence referendum published in the past two weeks there would be no panic. No all-party devolution plans. No saltire on Downing Street. No last minute visits.
Before this poll, the three previous surveys (two from YouGov and one from TNS) had each undermined the established story about the vote on September 18. They suggested that Yes was gaining support, including among women and young people, leaving the No side relying on Scots in their dotage to carry them to the finish line.
In 2003, Carol Craig published The Scots' Crisis of Confidence, a book that led to a lot of debate in Scotland. A mix of overgeneralisation and insight, it argued that Scots were mentally ill-equipped for the 21st century. Craig wrote that this was not down to an inhibited Scottish identity but rather from too much Scottishness. An inheritance of Calvinism, socialism and patriotism had bestowed on Scots a narrow perspective on the world and their own potential to shape it. She also criticised an overly masculine culture soaked in whisky, football and that dandy Robert Burns.
As one might expect this provoked quite the reaction, which in many instances supported the points Craig was making. Either way, her aim was a good one: to try to encourage a more vibrant, entrepreneurial, pluralistic and open Scottish society. Read more
Now we know: the YouGov poll that on Saturday ended complacency about the outcome of the independence referendum was not an outlier. On Tuesday, TNS BMRB, another pollster, published results from its final survey. These show No on 39 per cent of possible voters, Yes on 38 per cent, with 23 per cent undecided.
Summarising the results, Tom Costley, TNS Group Director, told me it's "almost all good news for the Yes campaign" and the race is "neck and neck; too close to call". His poll is further evidence that the momentum has swung towards the Yes side.
The charts below show the running TNS tallies, first for all likely voters, and second for voters who say they are certain to vote in the referendum. When it comes to certain voters, the two sides are both on 41 per cent. (TNS likes the certain voter measure. Mr Costley says it is very highly correlated with actual turnout.)
On September 18, Scotland will vote to leave the UK. That is the conclusion being drawn from the latest YouGov poll on the independence referendum. Published Saturday, it has Yes on 51 per cent and No on 49 per cent, once don't know votes are excluded. The sides are within the margin of error but the momentum is with Yes.
"It is not about nationalism, it is about socialism." That is the argument for Scottish independence made not only by many Scots but also by some on the English left. In Scotland, the Jimmy Reid foundation, Common Weal, the Scottish Socialist party, the Scottish Greens and some of the SNP have called for "radical independence". This idea has attracted left-wing supporters from south of the border: Billy Bragg, John Harris, George Monbiot, Tariq Ali and other writers often found in the Guardian. They hope that Scottish independence will serve as a catalyst for England's left. A No vote, Monbiot argues, would be an act of "self-harm" and "system justification".
Although the formal Yes campaign has not gone as far as some of the fringe groups, its underlying argument in the final months of the campaign has been that Scotland is politically and morally different from the rest of the UK – it is crying out to be a social democracy, while the Conservative-led government in London drifts to the right. Read more
This chart is via Ed Conway:
The coloured lines denote the voting intentions of different age groups in the independence referendum. Voters aged 60 and over (green line) remain firm No voters, according to data from YouGov, a pollster, but in its latest poll, a majority of Scots in the other age groups now say they will vote Yes.
These data are from only one polling company and when you break samples of about 1,000 (roughly the average number of people per poll) then the numbers per age group become small quickly. Nevertheless, there is growing evidence that if Scotland is to vote No on September 18, it will be older voters who preserve the union. Read more

Unisys to build its own stealthy cloud
Unisys may have not taken over the world as either a system maker or an outsourcer, but it's a player in both markets and it doesn't want the move to cloud computing to leave it behind. That's why Unisys is dedicating an 800-person consulting team - about three percent of its 27,700-person global workforce - to a cloud-computing …
All well and good but...
When will they update their CIFS/SMB implementation in their NX/Services windows integration product for MCP, or start keeping up with RFCs for TCPIP etc? Always rushing to develop and market their latest baby but don't keep the basics up to date on existing platforms! Which as a customer of theirs is bloody frustrating!
Enough, the Polls have Spoken
I would like to have the term "cloud computing", or "cloud" anything stricken from the El Reg lexicon except when referring to the puffy things that float about in the sky please. It's a new name for the same goal hardware and software makers have been aiming at since the '60's (or earlier).
Even polls conducted by (or at least available on) El Reg prove that "the cloud" is a stupid marketing gimmick. Whoever invented that term should be shot right now. Barring the execution of the marketing worm that came up with that term can we just stop using it?
Instead of letting "trends" drive El Reg, why doesn't El Reg do its part?. You guys are supposed to bite the hand that feeds IT - now get to it and come up with a suitable name to replace "cloud" with.
Can we have a reader poll on a new term?
P.S. I use the "your foster parents are dead" icon because it's weird and I'm not exactly sure what it referrers to. Maybe someone can explain it to me.
Sounds like a crank phonecall
Classic: "Let's start with the funny bit, something that Unisys calls My Secure AaaS"
Has someone been watching Porky's too often? Hopefully no-one will be able to penetrate My Secure AaaS. We wouldn't want My Secure AaaS infected with viruses.
GIF Patent
Correct me if I am wrong but unisys are the kind folks who forced the world+dog to remove compression from GIF's. You cannot forget or forgive such dirty tricks.
"Maybe someone can explain it to me."
Your foster parents are dead is one of the governators lines when he speaks to the liquid metal terminator using John Connors voice asking if the dog "wolfie" is OK - when the dog is not called wolfie.
IMHO the GSD (dog) was the best actor in the whole film :-)
Softly Softly ....... Do not disturb the Monkeys
"Instead of letting "trends" drive El Reg, why doesn't El Reg do its part?. You guys are supposed to bite the hand that feeds IT " .... By Solomon Grundy Posted Thursday 2nd July 2009 01:41 GMT
Seconded, Solomon Grundy. Anything less reduces the mag to a rag and a shadow to dodgy forces although you cannot blame them if thirty pieces of silver have been exchanged/are being exchanged to keep a certain view or certain views in vogue or other views out of Sight and Inquiring Minds.
IT is a very Powerful Subliminal Weapon whenever it is Beautifully Crafted and Wielded 42 Beta Manage and Change Global Perceptions is it a Special Sort of Super MKUltra Sensitive SkunkWorks/SwampWorks to the Fore of Covert and even Clandestine Operations ..... "And for the XXXXPerienced Great Games Player and IT User"* ...... Feeding IT that bites the hands of Systems is always going to be an Intelligence and Judgement Call with goodness knows how many conflicting facets to try and satisfy rather than maybe challenge and question.
All one can do is Continually Mentor in such situations as rely on Third Party Semantic Participation for First Party Publication.
* An earlier submission here [Posted Thursday 2nd July 2009 08:37 GMT] which didn't quite make the Cut/Grade, in Order to Pass Peer Review, but No One is at Fault whenever the System is to Blame for IT, although that is not to say that No One is at Fault whenever the System doesn't Change because of Faulty Peers.

The Illinois Department of Transportation and the Illinois Tollway have announced the locations where Interstate speed limits will increase from 65 to 70 miles-per-hour for both trucks and four-wheelers, following a new law that took effect the first of 2014.
Legislation signed into law in August increased the maximum speed limit on Illinois Interstates from 65 to 70 mph, where deemed reasonable and safe, outside the Chicago metro area.
"Illinois Department of Transportation crews will begin to remove the old 65 mph signs and install the new 70 mph signs in the designated areas early January to comply with the new law," said Illinois Transportation Secretary Ann L. Schneider.
Once all of the new signs are in place approximately 87% of Interstate highways and 98% of rural Interstates under IDOT's jurisdiction will be increased to 70 mph.
Approximately 28% of the Illinois Tollway's 286-mile system will be increased to 70 mph.
New speed limit signs have been distributed throughout the state and will be installed through Jan. 17, weather permitting.
The higher speed limit is in effect only in areas where the new signs have been installed.
For the Illinois Tollway, new 70 mph signs will be installed between Jan. 7 and Jan. 14, weather permitting, on a 64-mile segment of the Reagan Memorial Tollway (I-88) and on a 15-mile portion of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90).
The new law includes an additional safety provision, which lowers the limit by five mph at which drivers may be charged by law enforcement with excessive speeding. Currently, the threshold for penalties is 31 mph over the limit. The new law lowers that threshold to 26 mph over the limit.

After creating an impact in the field of Trichology over the years, Dr. Apoorva Shah and Dr. Sonal Shah - well-known Trichologists in India have ventured into Spa business.
With the hectic lifestyle, stress is one of the major concern and the root cause of many health issues. People in urban areas often look for de-stress, rejuvenation and relaxation techniques as they lead a very fast life. Hence, Richfeel has come up with a spa which offers unique signature massage Dr. Shahs Stress and Relax massage that primarily deals with relieving stress.
Dr. Shahs Stress and Relax massage is done by using the finger tips in a fan like movement on the ear and neck area. It primarily helps the blood vessels drain into the thoracic duct i.e. the neck. The massage aims at increasing the blood flow to the whole body, which in turn increases the oxygen flow. This helps in completely draining away the toxins in ones body thus resulting in detoxification.
According to Dr. Apoorva Shah, Founder of Richfeel Spa, There are certain points in our body where stress is accumulated like base of spine, shoulders, neck, head and scalp. Hence there is a need for a massage which mainly focuses on the stress areas in body. The USP of the Richfeels stress massage is the unique way it is done. It is performed in the back with the elbows in a seesaw like movement.

Many a times parents overlook other goals as they are too busy focusing on just one goal, that is on their child's education. They are too emotionally involved in achieving this particular goal that they forget planning for their retirement and saving for other emergencies.

The following is a guest post from Darin Moss. He shares his incredible story of how he and his wife recently adopted a little boy and how he was able to celebrate Father's Day in a special way. Enjoy!
I'm sleep deprived…
I go days without a shave…
I've been pooped on, peed on, spit up on, and screamed at… And that's just in one afternoon…
And I'm the happiest I've ever been…
I'm the new dad of a 14 week old little boy.
After nearly two years with our adoption agency awaiting "The Call", the daily anxious anticipation was gone, the frantic checking of caller ID with every phone call had stopped long ago, and the cool factor of the adoption wait had long since worn off. […]

IAG 021: My Adoption Storybook with adoptive dad Keith Miller
Posted on 29. May, 2014 by Tim.
In this episode, we talk with adoptive dad Keith Miller – the creator of My Adoption Storybook.
Over the past few years, my wife and I have bought several children's books about adoption that we have read to our little ones. We like the books because they help us tell our kids about adoption.
The problem with most of these books is that they tell someone else's story. Every adoptive family has their own story to tell. Our two kids definitely have their own stories.
It would be so nice to read the storybook of how our kids became part of our family – maybe even with their own name in the book!
That is the idea Keith had when creating My Adoption Storybook.
This book is so different than anything I've seen before. It lets you customize and personalize it to tell your child's adoption story – including your child's name, your photos and text. The book is filled with wonderful illustrations that work perfectly with your story. […]

A little while back I got an email from Gayle. She asked me if I would consider looking at her book about adoption. After checking it out on Amazon, I told her I'd love to review it. Shortly after that, my copy of ABC, Adoption & ME arrived. I have to say that I am truly impressed.
I had never seen an adoption book for kids like this before. It is so unique because is uses every letter in the alphabet to talk about lots of adoption topics. I especially like the letter F – it is for Family. Birth families, adoptive families – forever families.
Written by Gayle Swift and her adult daughter Casey Swift – ABC, Adoption and ME is a great book to sit down and read together because it gives adoptive parents the ability to discuss adoption with their children. Each letter's topic is coupled with descriptive illustrations that creatively covers different aspects of adoption.
You can start reading it when your child is at an early age and it will be a book they can enjoy for many years.
My 7 year old daughter (whom we adopted as a newborn) read the book almost immediately after it arrived. She had a big smile on her face as she read it – and commented several times about how she thought it was an awesome book! She loved the pictures and I could tell how each page captured her attention. […]

12 reasons why you need a local adoption support group
Posted on 16. Jan, 2014 by Tim.
The emotional ups and downs of the domestic infant adoption process can leave prospective adoptive parents feeling hopeless, discouraged and frustrated.
Going through the journey, it is so helpful to talk to someone who understands what we are experiencing. Friends and family can be supportive, but they don't always understand the adoption roller coaster.
Getting a group of people together who share the experience of adoption can be a huge blessing.
They can help keep us focused on the path to building our family. It is a relief knowing we are not alone – there are others in our community who can provide the support we need.
So – what are these groups?
Local adoption support groups. They are lifelines for prospective adoptive parents – providing hope and inspiration to get us through our journey to parenthood.
There are lots of reasons why these groups play a BIG part in the adoption journey.
12 reasons why you need a local adoption support group:
- You get to talk directly to people who have been there (or are still going through the process). Get and give empathy and support – before, during & after placement.
- Get a regular dose of encouragement, inspiration, and hope to get through the ups & downs.
- Find out how others have found creative ways to: fund your adoption, connect with expectant mothers, etc. […]

IAG012: My Personal Adoption Story Through Two Domestic Infant Adoptions [Podcast]
Posted on 10. Dec, 2013 by Tim.
There is no better way to learn about the adoption process and the emotions connected with adoption than to hear a story from families who have lived it.
This special episode is where I share my adoption story – how my wife and I have adopted two newborns.
We brought home our beautiful little girl in 2007 and our handsome little boy in 2012. Both adoptions had challenges, both are open adoptions, and both of our children weren't born in our home state.
Through it all, we learned that while adoption is not easy, it is SOOOO worth it.
Like many adoptive families, we struggled through infertility treatments. After 12 years of marriage, we knew more than ever that we just wanted to be a mom and a dad – however that was going to happen.
That's when adoption became a reality for us.
We decided to go for it, having no idea about the ups and downs adoption can put you through. I hope and pray that you'll learn more about domestic infant adoption and will be inspired by my story.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My review was removed. Not sure what I clicked, but I'll make it short this time.. Worst school in the district.
Madison School is the lowest rated in the district, the principal for a while wasn't the brightest guy, so his contract was eventually not extended, but it took them awhile to realize it (5years). The district does have an open enrollment policy, so you can go to any of the schools. I took my kid out after kindergarten. When 5 year old brought home fireworks and was trying to work them. I felt it was wrong, but the schools non reaction was even more worrying.
This is our 4th year at Madison and we love it. It is sad that the rating is do low, only a "5" because this is strictly reflecting the ISAT scores in the first year that the standards we're adjust for Common Core. We have a new principal this year, and he is very involved and the kids really like him. I cannot say enough about the amazing staff at Madison. They all go above and beyond for their students. Great PTA, a wide variety of programs and activities for the children and families.
Madison has been a wonderful experience from day one. Teachers who care, staff who is dedicated and PTO that soars above.
My daughter is in 2nd grade so we haven't been in the system long, but so far I am extremely impressed! I am thankful we get to go to this school!
I've had three children go there from Kindergarten to 5th grade. What a wonderful experience. The school staff and pricincipal are dedicated to the education our the children and collaborating with parents. The PTO is very active. These teachers really care! It's refereshing. Not to mention that it is ethnically diverse - which was a real plus for our children. The schol had about 500 kids at the time we were there allowing them to offer many programs for the kids. We miss Madison!
Great school with great teachers. Parental involvement in encouraged, wonderful PTA which provides great things for the students!

TUMWATER, Wash. — It's the kind of thing Lassie did.
A Tumwater, Wash., police detective says an ailing homeless man attached a note seeking help to his dog's harness and sent the animal out in hopes someone would read the message.
Detective Jen Kolb tells Seattle's KIRO-TV that a woman walking her dog along railroad tracks on Wednesday spotted the dog with the note that read, "Send Help. No Joke. Cannot walk." It also said, "Medicine not working. Need doctor."
The note was unsigned, but police eventually found the man's camp.
Kolb says the man was immobile and was afraid he was going to die, so he sent his dog, Buddy, for help.
KIRO reports the man was treated at an Olympia hospital and released.

Ferrari reportedly still pursuing Valentino Rossi for F1
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Apr 22nd, 2010 at 9:29AM
Valentino Rossi, widely acknowledged as the greatest motorcycle racer of all time, may have a second career on something with more than two wheels. As diehard MotoGP and Formula One fans are already aware, the Italian superstar has proven to be just as fast around a race circuit when piloting a Ferrari F1 car as he is on his Yamaha motorcycle, and the Scuderia has made numerous overtures to The Doctor in an effort to get him to cross disciplines. Apparently, outgoing Fiat Group Chairman Luca Cordero di Montezemolo reiterated once again earlier this week that it would love to put Rossi in... Read More

DEFINITION of 'Interest Rate Differential - IRD'
A differential measuring the gap in interest rates between two similar interest-bearing assets. Traders in the foreign exchange market use interest rate differentials (IRD) when pricing forward exchange rates. Based on the interest rate parity, a trader can create an expectation of the future exchange rate between two currencies and set the premium (or discount) on the current market exchange rate futures contracts.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Interest Rate Differential - IRD'
The IRD is a key component of the carry trade. For example, say an investor borrows US$1,000 and converts the funds into British pounds, allowing the investor to purchase a British bond. If the purchased bond yields 7% while the equivalent U.S. bond yields 3%, then the IRD equals 4% (7-3%). The IRD is the amount the investor can expect to profit using a carry trade. This profit is ensured only if the exchange rate between dollars and pounds remains constant.

Kristin Cavallari Barters for Cab Fare From Paps
Laguna Beach's resident bitch tried to cut a deal with photographers as she stumbled out of Hooray Henry's in West Hollywood, Calif., Wednesday night after what were guessing was a few vodka sodas. As a pack of voracious paparazzi begged her to pose, clever K Cav offered to cut them a deal.
Pap: "Kristin, can you just post for like 5 minutes?"
KC: "Are you paying for my taxi? 20 bucks. 5 each, let's go."
Pap: "Well, you got to pose for me."
KC: "I just posed for you. Pony the f*ck up. Give me 5 bucks."
One of the snappers hands her a bill. "A dollar? Thanks, b*tch," she bemoaned, letting out her inner Jesse Pinkman.
As she climbs into the cab, the cheapskate pap whines, "Kristin, I paid a dollar for that smile." So, she flashes a sly smile from the back seat.
KC for the win.

Joe Biden Watch Set to GAFFE-CON ONE
Upon discovering that any destruction of Detroit would be redundant, terrorists have nevertheless found another soft target: Joe Biden's tongue. According to the U.S. Secret Service, a U-Haul truck loaded with equipment for a Labor Day event featuring Vice President Joe Biden was stolen in Detroit yesterday.
If the stolen equipment, likely including a teleprompter, were intended for the president's use, this attack would merely render the Commander in Chief mute. As it is, Biden has no plans to change his speaking schedule…
"A U-Haul that we were utilizing was stolen at the Westin Hotel overnight," [Secret Service spokesman] Ed Donovan told CNN.
Donovan would not specify what equipment was in the U-Haul at the time it was stolen, and added that the theft shouldn't affect the vice president's plans on Monday.

One of A Kind Candidate, Kerry Bentivolio, 11th Congressional District, Milford, MI
Michigan's 11th Congressional District is where dreams are born. Friend of Indecision Thaddeus McCotter resigned from his House seat to work on a TV sitcom, leaving an enigma-sized Mystery Hole in the district. Kerry Bentivolio just might be the enigma to fill it.
Bentivolio is the only name listed on the Aug. 7 GOP primary for McCotter's seat, but flip that script! A number of high-profile Republicans are backing a write-in candidate, former state Senator Nancy Cassis, instead. I'm so excited for you. You're about to meet Kerry Bentivolio, and the buzz is always better the first time.
First, let's get the big news out in the open. Bentivolio is a reindeer rancher. As should be expected, nay demanded, of anyone in that industry, he's also dabbled in Santa reenacting. Or is it Santa impersonating? We really need to get around to standardizing the vocabulary in this industry.
None of that matters, though, because all you really need to know is that Bentivolio played a doctor in The President Goes To Heaven, which may be the Chick Tract of movies. Instead of striking fear into the hearts of sinners, the movie sort of suggests that 9/11 was maybe an inside job. For whatever reason Bentivolio is distancing himself from this role, but there's only so far you can distance yourself from something that's on the Internet. Especially if that something involves a nurse telling a comatose George W. Bush-like president "You were once one of the most powerful men on earth, and now you've pooped your pants." It's basically an Aaron Sorkin version of The Room.
As for Cassis, the only thing she's brought to the race is those rubber bracelets diseased people wear so we know to avoid them. Her bracelet carries the stirring message "11th congressional district, write in Nancy Cassis and fill oval." Powerful, powerful stuff.

The Bentivolio-Cassis race is being pitted as a showdown between an outsider Ron Paul acolyte and the GOP establishment. Sure, maybe. It's a Republican primary, there's not a lot of chance for color on a grayscale. And as a YouTube star and Santa impersonator, Bentivolio is a near-perfect candidate for the online era, so it's not surprising that he's been embraced by the Paul crowd, unleashing the Internet hordes and super PAC backing from a 21-year-old trustaronpaulian (the trustafarian's libertarian cousin).
Cassis, on the other hand, drew the support of super loser Rick Santorum. A write-in candidate with a washed-up sweater vest's endorsement is considered the big establishment pick? Mr. Bentivolio must be one heck of a wild carpet ride.
Oh, and you can find more clips of The President Goes To Heaven on YouTube, which is, incidentally, where you can find every Ron Paul supporter.

Thaddeus McCotter Retiring from Congress
Who can say exactly why Michigan Republican Thaddeus McCotter chose today to abruptly resign from the U.S. House of Representatives. Maybe — after failing to make the state ballot for November — he's looking to leave D.C. with some shred of dignity intact. Maybe he's being forced out. Or maybe he's just the saddest person in America right now.
This except from his resignation seems to lean toward the latter…
"After nearly 26 years in elected office, this past nightmarish month and a half have, for the first time, severed the necessary harmony between the needs of my constituency and of my family. As this harmony is required to serve, its absence requires I leave.
"The recent event's totality of calumnies, indignities and deceits have weighed most heavily upon my family. Thus, acutely aware one cannot rebuild their hearth of home amongst the ruins of their U.S. House office, for the sake of my loved ones I must "strike another match, go start anew" by embracing the promotion back from public servant to sovereign citizen.
"I do not leave for an existing job and face diminishing prospects (and am both unwilling and ill-suited to lobby), my priorities are twofold: find gainful employment to help provide for my family; and continue to assist, in any way they see fit, the Michigan Attorney General's earnest and thorough investigation, which I requested, into the 2012 petition filing."
Politicians… Always putting a positive spin on everything.
For what it's worth, my cousin is looking for a guitarist to gig with him in A.C. for three nights next weekend. If anybody knows McCotter's contact info, can they pass that on? He'd have to get there himself, but meals are taken care of. And he can totally crash in the bass player's garage.
After the jump, you can watch Rep. McCotter in happier days, when he was our first Undercision 2012: Running with the Underdogs interviewee…

Mitt Romney Losing Ground in Swing States
With the general election just a few short months away, it's critical for Mitt Romney to reach out to the important swing states, focus on talking to the people who live there and allow the voters there to get to know him.
Unfortunately, that carries with it certain dangers. Such as the danger that the voters there might get to know him…
Among the voters in our poll living in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin, Obama's lead over Romney increases to 50%-42%.
Also in these swing states, Romney's favorability numbers have dropped: A month ago, Romney's fav/unfav score stood at 34%/38% nationally and 36%-36% in these 12 swing states. But in this latest survey, his national fav/unfav score is 33%-39% (that 39% unfav is tied with his all-time high) and 30%-41% in the swing states.
It's probably for the best to keep him away from swing staters for a little while longer. Like maybe just four or five months. After that, definitely get him out there.

Poll: Mitt Romney Remains Home(state)less
As my co-blogger Dennis has reported, Mitt Romney may become the first person to win the presidency while losing all three of his supposed home states. Muddying this attempt at history is the fact that voters in at least two of Romney's home states refuse to acknowledge him as one of their own…
Massachusetts voters don't even really regard Romney as one of their own despite his time as Governor — only 25% say they consider him to be a Bay Stater, while 65% say they do not. There doesn't seem to be a state that wants to lay claim to Romney — when we polled Michigan last month, only 24% of voters said they considered him to be one of their own to 65% who said they did not.
If California rejects him, Romney will be homeless, despite his many houses.
Luckily for him, if worst comes to worst, his money will be waiting for him at the "shelter."

UPDATE: Ghosemajumder has clarified that my assumptions of less than 2% should be based on "invalid clicks", which means the actual number is more likely just a fraction of one percent!
Compete would like everyone to know that, while Yahoo may be in the middle of a shake-up – they still have more visitors than Google.
Now, if I had the clout of Danny Sullivan*, I'd be able to summon the Bill Tancer genie and see if Hitwise concurs with Compete's data.
* At SES Danny mentioned that he was able to request data from Bill in his blog, and Bill was kind enough to comply. I'm not even sure Bill reads this blog, so I won't hold my breath.
Update: OK, so Bill "the Genie" Tancer does read MP, and he magically appeared with some data that appears to contradict the Compete stats (with help from Matt Tatham).
I used to be among those that felt using a partial-text RSS feed would bring more people to my site. About a year ago, I realized the error of my ways – mostly because I figured Robert Scoble would never subscribe (you do now though, right Robert?) – and switched to full text feeds.
Amanda Watlington and Stephen Spencer both talked about the positive benefits of a full text RSS feed at SES, and now we have further evidence from an experiment Amit Agarwal ran on his blog.
Growth in RSS Subscribers – We added more than a 1000 new subscribers in less than a month – thanks to full feeds.
Here's his RSS subscribers chart to prove it…
The New York Times has a lengthy article on the growth of online advertising in Great Britain, and how it's outpacing the U.S. In fact, online advertising in Britain is growing by 40% and is expected to account for 14% of all advertising spend – more than twice the percentage in the United States.
While it may seem strange that Britain is able to go from lagging the U.S., to kicking its butt, it makes a lot of sense.
…British media are nearly all aimed nationwide in contrast to the United States newspaper and television markets, where local and regional markets are big players. These local markets in the United States have, so far, been slow to move ad money online.
A new Yahoo study, in conjunction with comScore Networks, has discovered that when combined, search and display advertising deliver profoundly better results than when used independently.
Online users who were exposed to both the search and display advertising campaigns increased their share of page views relative to competitive sites by 68 percent, and time spent by 66 percent. More importantly, among those exposed to both the search and display ads, purchases of the advertiser's products and services increased by 244 percent online and 89 percent offline compared to online users with similar behavior who were not exposed to these ads.
There's also positive news for those seeking brand-lift.
In a recent study, Forrester Research assembled a list of 53 agencies and then selected six top providers to evaluate in-depth based on their revenues, balance of services, and enterprise focus.
There's lots of interesting information relating to the strengths and weaknesses of each of the six top providers and tips for selecting your own vendor. You can purchase the full report for $995. Congratulations to iProspect for coming out on top, once again.
One interesting snippet of information. I knew iCrossing had been growing like crazy, but didn't realize they'd had totally blown past by iProspect.
Here's the top 6's revenue numbers from SEM.
360i – $12M (SEM revenues in 2005)
iCrossing – $31.3M
iProspect – $14.7M
Outrider – $10M (estimated)
Reprise Media – $15M
ClickZ has a good summary of two new studies – from Performics and Google Checkout – that show the web will be a big part of consumers holiday shopping this year.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Juan Nicasio pitched six effective innings for his first victory in almost a year while Wilin Rosario, Michael Cuddyer and Dexter Fowler homered to lift the Colorado Rockies over the Milwaukee Brewers 7-3 on Wednesday night.
The Rockies took two of three under new manager Walt Weiss in the season-opening series at Miller Park.
Nicasio (1-0) allowed two runs and seven hits for his first win since last April 30, when he beat the Los Angeles Dodgers. Winless in the next five starts, he sustained a season-ending knee injury on June 2.

Greenwich councillors objecting to Blackheath 'peace' festival
Greenwich Labour and Conservative councillors have teamed up to object to a Blackheath peace festival planned by the family of murdered teenager Jimmy Mizen.
The non-profit Good Hope Festival, which could take place on 2 and 3 August, will be a "beautiful and peaceful music and arts festival bringing people together to celebrate all that is good about Blackheath and its surroundings," according to the Jimmy Mizen Foundation.
The foundation was set up by Margaret and Barry Mizen, whose 16-year-old son Jimmy died after being stabbed in a bakery in Lee in May 2008. The Mizen family have thrown themselves into community work since then, to promote peace among young people. They were made MBEs in the New Year Honours list.
Lewisham Council's licensing committee will decide on Wednesday whether the festival will go ahead.
Documents submitted to Lewisham say the event will aim at "mainly a family audience. Adults will range from 25-45 mainly with children from 0-16″.
"There will be much for a family audience to enjoy as well as more high profile
bands and musicians for young adults, teens and adults. There will be no contentious artists booked to play the event."
But the six councillors who represent Greenwich West and Blackheath Westcombe wards on Greenwich Council have written to Lewisham Council objecting to the event, which will take place on the south side of the borough boundary, between Goffers Road and Prince Charles Road.
This is despite the Blackheath Society, which went to court to try to stop the OnBlackheath festival in 2011, giving the Good Hope Festival its blessing. The two Lewisham Labour councillors for Blackheath, Kevin Bonavia and Amanda de Ryk, have also backed the festival, along with the Westcombe Society.
"We have the strongest reservations about the use of the heath for major events involving amplified sound as a key element," wrote Greenwich West councillor Maureen O'Mara, on behalf of Labour colleagues David Grant, Matt Pennycook and Alex Grant and Conservatives Geoff Brighty and Alex Wilson.
O'Mara's objection comes despite her role as Greenwich's cabinet member in charge of overseeing Run to the Beat, an event which used the heath and involved amplified sound as a key element.
Indeed, Run to the Beat – which has now moved to Wembley – is cited as an example of an event which has disturbed residents, despite Greenwich allowing it for six consecutive years.
The six councillors commissioned an assessment from Greenwich's lead environmental health officer, who concluded that "Greenwich residents are likely to be affected by significant noise levels".
Other objectors include Lewisham police and Terry Felgate, one of the organisers of On Blackheath, who both criticise the event's management plan, as well as a handful of local residents, one of whom asks: "Why don't the organisers give their names?"
On Blackheath, which will take place further west towards Wat Tyler Road, has already been given a licence by Lewisham for 13/14 September, after plans for events in 2011 and 2013 fell through.
Just as with On Blackheath back in 2011, one major sticking point is the Good Hope Festival's application for a licence in perpetuity – which, according to Kevin Bonavia's submission, is because the licensing costs would be too much for the event to bear for a one-off event.
Greenwich Conservatives have already expressed anxiety over events on the heath – and have criticised a lack of contact from Lewisham Council, one of the factors in Greenwich's objections to On Blackheath in 2011.
But why two sets of Labour councillors should disagree is another matter – especially as the event is a non-profitmaking one, led by people with impeccable community credentials who wouldn't want to put those at risk.
There may well be reasons to worry about the event's organisation, and people who live near the heath are entitled to a quiet life. But to aim to block an event which is meant to benefit the community in both boroughs doesn't reflect well on the council as a whole.
Full details about the licence application can be found on Lewisham Council's website.
8.20pm update. See comments below for contributions from Matt Pennycook, Alex Grant and Kevin Bonavia. Here's the email sent by Greenwich councillor Maureen O'Mara:
27 Responses
I don't object to the peace festival taking place as I believe it could be a very positive thing for the community but I do want to make sure it is properly controlled so that it doesn't cause undue disturbance to local residents. I also have concerns (not aimed at JMF in particular) about the granting of licences in perpetuity. However, from what I've heard the JMF have been very open to tailoring plans in order to make sure the event causes as little disturbance as possible so hopefully – with some appropriate conditions – a compromise can be reached before the hearing on the 12th.
It was unequivocal in asking for a condition to be attached to any licence to safeguard against undue noise disturbance and for it to last for only one year rather than in perpetuity but it wasn't an outright objection to the event itself. I very much hope the festival is allowed to proceed and that, with a bit of give-and-take on all sides, it gains the support of the whole community.
I'm so angry that these Greenwich councillors have objected to this event I can't type what I want as I would be banned from this website for good.
Absolutely furious.
I hope Lewisham grant the application and tell Greenwich to stick it with their fireworks misery.
Very odd, but one of the objectors to the Good Hope Festival is one Terry Felgate, who seems to be one of the trio behind the rival Nimby/On Blackheath music festival. He is objecting on the grounds of noise, nuisance and disruption to local residents! Pots and black kettles spring to mind?! Apologies if it is not the same person.
Greenwich Councillors' attitude would be visibly different if JMF could get one of the royal borough's friendly property developers to support the event in some way.
Sorry but I just don't understand this issue of noise disturbance for residents, Blackheath is huge. Can they really hear much or anything in their house/garden?
Isn't Blackheath common land, for the people? Its like living near choosing to live near the 02 but then complaining there's too many concerts!
We have relatively short summers so is disturbance from one or two family daytime festivals proportionate to objections and bans? Do the residents really object to this festival?
It seems like some reassurances and a compromise could easily be reached – it sounds like JMF are happy to negotiate and be considerate so I doubt there'll be many problems with it.
As for the OnBlackheath event, that is likely to be way more disruptive and noisy so it's ironic that one of the JMF critics is an OnBlackheath organizer. Regarding what some commenters say above, I don't live nearby but it should be remembered that noise still needs to be considered, as it travels across the open spaces of the Heath with nothing to block it, and there's a big difference between events with amplified music and other events which won't have such a wide impact. Yes it's common land, but it's not a concert venue like the purpose-built O2 so there surely still have to be some limits, as with anything else and probably more so, with sites that people have to share and when certain actions might impact others. Plus I suspect many residents will have lived there long before these new events started to be planned. That's what I feel about the OnBlackheath thing…
That said, this JMF festival sounds fine to me, the organisers are considerate and willing to listen, unlike OnBlackheath, it's for a good cause, so good luck to them!
It is interesting to see that the police have objected to the GHF, especially as they didn't object to the OnBlackheath event. From what I have read both events could attract a considerably different type of audience which is perhaps why the police are more concerned with the GHF. In principle I am in favour of this sort of event (charitable or commercial) on Blackheath provided they are run professionally and give due consideration to the local community. Perhaps a sensible idea would be to let the event that already has a license, a very well scrutinised one by all accounts, take place this year and should it run successfully then look at adding the GHF event for 2015.
Shivamee – comparing the Heath to the o2 is risible. Moreover when the OnBlackheath festival was first discussed its supporters said that people shouldnt complain as it was only one event. Well now we will end up with 2 weekends taken up with live music this year maybe next year it will be 4? As a resident I have zero interest in being forced to listen to music for a whole weekend much less buy tickets for a private event on public land to give me a better appreciation of Blackheath.
I'm lucky enough to live right on the Heath with nothing that will block any noise between my property and the event. I'm fairly neutral about this though. On one hand it may be great, on the other it may be terrible. But it's for a good cause, aimed at families so we should at least be prepared to give it a go for a year. Perpetual licenses can be revoked without any major issues I believe.
Now On Blackheath on the other hand…….
As I've said in my written submission to the Licensing Committee, I am supporting the Good Hope Festival application because I have been really impressed with the approach of the Jimmy Mizen Foundation when discussing their plans with them and their willingness to adapt them so as to minimise disturbance to the surrounding area.
From my discussions with my councillor colleagues in Greenwich, I understand they also appreciate the efforts that JMF have made. As Alex Grant explained, responses to licence applications can appear adversarial – ie are you for or against, though many in fact are usually seeking conditions, not outright refusal.
Although not aimed at JMF specifically, there is a concern in granting licences in perpetuity, especially for events that haven't happened before, as you haven't got the evidence to indicate whether they are likely to be a success in future years. Unfortunately, the licence fees regime (fixed in law) means a substantial increase in costs to the applicant should it apply for a one-event licence, as there is a fee for each application and a separate fee for the enforcement of each event. So, the comfort of a one-event licence needs to be weighed against the cost to a local charity. I hope this can be resolved at the hearing.
On a more general point on large events on the Heath, they not only need a licence under the Licensing Act, they also need the approval of the relevant Council. This is considered on an event-by-event basis. Lewisham Council has already approved the Good Hope Festival and OnBlackheath for 2014 but they will each have to apply again if they want to hold an event next year. So, if either or both events happen this year, there will then be evidence for Lewisham Council to consider whether to give approval next year (and for the Licensing Committee to review the licences).
Blackheath is not common land ! Look it up !
> Blackheath is not common land! Look it up!
I did. Took me literally 1 minute. According to the DEFRA Database of Common Land in England (available from the DEFRA website here: https://www.gov.uk/common-land-management-protection-and-registering-to-use), Blackheath has 85.58 hectares of common land marked as Final.
Sounds like it very much common land to me.
Mr Eeee
According to Neil Rhind who knows a thing or two about Blackheath , the majority of Blackheath is owned by the queen , the rest is owned by the Earl of Dartmouth
I asked the Earl of Dartmouth about it on Friday and he said he had no major objections. Lord Emsworth, of course, loves a day out as long as the Empress of Blandings is well looked after.
Thank you Peter
The point I am trying to make is that because we have 'common land' which is managed by a government dept or quango . it doesn't mean that its not privately owned
Are we discussing who owns the land or whether it is designated common land? The same link I gave would have told you that it is partly owned by the crown (which is not the same as being owned by the Queen btw). The owner is noted as:
Part owned by the Crown Estate Commissioners, part by one privateowner, and part by the Charity of Sir J. Morden, Morden College.
I think the problem here is that you don't actually understand what common land is. This may help: https://www.gov.uk/common-land-village-greens. "Common land is owned by someone, but other people can use it in specific ways."
Mr Eeee
I think we are in agreement , the point I tried to make was that people think that because we have common land , with rights to roam etc , people think it is owned by us all
Is the Greenwich Council that is so sensitive to noise and disruption for residents the same Greenwich Council that has granted a license to Run to the Beat (clue in the name) for some years? Funny when there isn't a big corporation behind a scheme it gets the knock back. Talking of which congratulations to Charlton Central Residents who were the only group to speak out against it at license hearings. They must be really pleased that Wembley is getting the nuisance although only a 10K not a half marathon. Did IMG ever pay up its charitable donation and if it did how was the money spent on sporting legacy? Come on Darryl, you have your ear to the ground. Whatever happened to RTTB cash?
