Nowadays, Geostatistics is more and more applied for soil pollution mapping and for risk analysis.
This course presents the basic concepts and methods of Geostatistics to achieve these goals. The subject matter ranges from variography to kriging and simulations for risk analysis.
A particular attention is paid to the integration of these methods for the characterization of contaminated sites: accounting for the historical data, sampling optimization, cartography of in situ pollution and estimation of contaminated volumes.
Key features
Methodological presentations followed by practical work using real cases. The focus is based on illustrations and contribution of the concepts presented using Kartotrak. Half of the course is dedicated to practical computer exercises in order to reinforce the previously presented theoretical notions.
Who should attend
The course is designed for practitioners confronted with the characterization of contaminated sites and who wish a practical introduction to geostatistical methods using Kartotrak. No prior knowledge of geostatistics is required. However a basic understanding of statistics is recommended.
Course content
- Introduction
- Illustrated presentation of current practices for the characterization of contaminated sites and estimation of contaminated volumes of soil. Advantages of using geostatistics over existing methods.
- Getting Started with Kartotrak.
- Understanding and estimating the spatial heterogeneity of pollution
- Practical introduction to the concept of spatial variability. Operational implications for the feasibility of modelling for certain kind of pollution.
- How to quantify the spatial variability of a pollutant: calculation, interpretation and modeling of the variogram.
- Recommendations for sampling of potentially contaminated sites.
- Predicting and mapping in-situ pollution
- Presentation of the usual methods of mapping the analytical data.
- Principle and properties of kriging in 2D/3D.
- Quantifying and localizing the contaminated volumes
- Overall estimate of the volume of non-compatible land and its associated uncertainty, risk of non-compatibility of local mesh cleanup.
- Final inspection after remediation.
This course may be scheduled for any date and/or location at your convenience. Tailored courses may also be organized on client demand. Please contact your sales representative to request more information.

Curious baby!
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 08-28-2006 - 12:35am
Well my five month old baby is VERY curious and is a female dennis the menis in the making. I normally wear her whenever we go anywhere, but she gets a little fidgety. She wants to grab everything she sees and tries to lean out of her sling to touch everything. I try to encourage her by get up close to stuff and letting her feel different items, but she gets a little uncontrolable when she is twisting and trying to look around and grab that i don't know what to do.
I dont want to put her in a stroller (unless we plan day trips, then she does half and half) becuase that really won't make her happy. and she loves being next to me, she just wants the best of both worlds. I don't really know what i am asking for, just wanted to know that i am not the only one and if any one has any advise on baby wearing!

I cover the Town of Huntington with my fellow reporter Deborah Morris. My goal is to keep you informed about what is going on and to respond to issues that arise. I also will be focusing on the villages of Northport and Asharoken, reporting and writing about their successes and challenges. I am interested in local politics, how taxpayers' money is spent, giving a voice to the voiceless and telling the stories of the town's quirky and inspiring people and events.
Roundup: Town of North Hempstead sets uniform speed limit on road
North Hempstead Town has set a consistent 30 mph speed limit for a stretch of Roslyn Road where deadly accidents occurred this year.
Nassau County Legis. Judy Jacobs (D-Woodbury) had urged the town to set the uniform speed limit at 30 mph since the 30 to 40 mph limits and signs in part of the road confused drivers.
The town, through the bill offered by Councilman Peter Zuckerman, set...Read more »

If Styles ends up being straight, the implications of his recent statements would be practically revolutionary. At his age, following the "bro" code typically means acting as straight and narrow as possible. How many straight guys are comfortable with being mistaken for gay or bisexual?
As a kid, Austin Netzley remembered being enthralled with the concept of money and promising himself that one day he'd be wealthy. And now, at 28, by most people's measure, he is. He's been an athlete, student, engineer and entrepreneur. And at this point in his life, he considers himself "retired."
Feminism has become the word du jour. But what's its message? Its goals? Why is it so divisive?
The human mind doesn't always work in our best interests when it comes to spending decisions. But the good news is that scientists are trying to tackle the problem -- and uncover how we can retrain our brains to make better choices.
TS Madison has become really popular over the past year. She is a YouTube sensation who recently got her own show on YouTube via World of Wonder. Madison just dropped her first album, so I thought it would be a perfect time for her to be asked "15 Questions."
Black, Asian and Latina women combined barely make up 1 percent of the total number of persons in top positions. White women comprise 14 percent.
In declaring a state of emergency in Missouri before any actual announcement by the Ferguson grand jury, Gov. Jay Nixon is shedding a valuable light on what happens when a culture of fearful white supremacy can't tolerate dissent, disorder, or difference.
In May 2004, comedian, social critic and philanthropist Bill Cosby took the stage at Constitution Hall in his hometown of Philadelphia. It was a gala commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's Brown decision on school segregation.
Whether or not Darren Wilson is indicted for his behavior in those 90 seconds, American society as a whole bears indictment for those four hours and thirty-two minutes. That level of disregard for black life cannot be attributed to the actions of one police officer.
Keeping control of overall debt is an important part of financial planning no matter what your stage of life. But a flat statement about eliminating all debt in retirement may be too simplistic. That's because the amount of debt you can comfortably handle is very individual and depends on your bigger financial picture.
The focus of our strategy should not be on what we do or do not do with our military. The principal focus of our "fight" should be on getting the countries in the Middle East, like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, etc., to make the defeat of ISIS their responsibility.
Our daughters will learn from us how to value themselves. Whether we like it or not, we are responsible for what they are exposed to and what they hold up as values while they are young.
As we honor our friends and family we have lost to anti-transgender violence on Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR), how can we ensure that transgender women of color are leading the LGBTQ anti-violence movement?
My heart belongs to the ladies on 14th Street who stood with me night after night, trying to survive and just be their authentic selves. I cry today for those ladies who are no longer here with us in 2014, but my heart remembers them.
I discovered that I had been living a life according to what other's believed was the norm. I learned that every experience is part of the journey and realized that my journey was my life's purpose.
For the second time in two months, Governor Jay Nixon of Missouri approved the execution of an African American man sentenced to die by an all-white jury. But Missouri and this governor have absolutely no moral authority to execute anyone.

The BEST MAN, jASONS' lYRIC, LOVE jONES
Never heard of Hav Plenty. I don't remember what Love Jones and Brown Sugar was about. The Best Man and Jason's Lyric had too much drama to be called a love story. We all know the real deal about Stella, and love ain't got nothing to do with that story. SMDH............
In my opinion, the only movie that fits the love story bill was Love & Basketball and Claudine.
Check out my new documentary "The Movies We Love; The 25 Most Romantic Black Movies (Ever)." Teaser trailer at iloveblackmovies.com. Premiere this summer during the NAACP national convention in Kansas City, Missouri.
I love LOVE JONES!
Great movie!
love an basketball beats all those movies
I love Love and basketball, my favorite part was when Monica and Quincy played for their love. When he said double or nothing I got goose bumps and I'm getting them now just thinking about it. Beautiful movie!!!!
Love Jones is the classiest of them all. No embarrassing hip hop soundtrack or awful stereotypical storyline of characters.
Hav Plenty wasn't bad. Very underrated.
Now I know this film was not totally about black romance, but it was very romantic: did anyone just love "Something New" with Sanaa Lathan? My favorite line was when Mike Epps' character said "At the end of the day, it's about the vibe between a man and a woman" Oh Yeah!!! I love my black men, so they will always be first on my list. But the movie showed that one can never rule out falling for someone you never expected. Great film!!
Love and Basketball was a great film. Not just a 'black film'. It's too bad it didn't get more industry recognition. The acting was superb - Sanaa Nathan and Alfre Woodard.

Roberto Martinez says he has "huge admiration" for the way in which Mauricio Pochettino has stamped his mark on Southampton's style.Everton's trip to St Mary's last January – a goalless draw - was Pochettino's first game in charge following the surprise sacking of Nigel Adkins. At the time, the newly-promoted Saints were 15th in the Barclays Premier League table but they go into Saturday's clash deservedly among the top-eight having resided there for much of the current campaign. Thirteen league wins have included a 4-1 defeat of Hull City, a 4-0 rout of Newcastle United and a narrow 1-0 victory at leaders Liverpool. And while the Saints are without a win in their last three games, Martinez is impressed by the job carried out by former Espanyol chief Pochettino.He said: "I have huge admiration, huge. Mauricio came in at a difficult time where Southampton had had a very successful period of two promotions with the previous management team, but he embraced the good work that Nigel did and transformed the team."It's a team that plays with a real bravery, they condense the spaces, they press very dynamic and they have got really good quality in the young players that have been given strong roles."It's been very impressive how they always get good performances against the top sides, especially at home. They always get good results against the top teams."I think that shows you that the team plays with incredible swagger, with incredible intelligence in the way that they are set up tactically and they make it very difficult."Southampton's recent blip has coincided with the loss of top scorer Jay Rodriguez to a serious knee injury, which has ruled the England striker out of this summer's World Cup.Martinez, however, feels the Saints still boast plenty of threat and has urged his players not to take anything for granted as they look to leapfrog Arsenal into fourth in the league. Arsenal don't face Newcastle United until Monday evening, meaning the Blues can move two points ahead with a victory. But Martinez warned: "I would say have dipped in terms of their results, but I don't think they've dipped in form."Losing Rodriguez seems to have taken a little bit away, a real penetrating aspect of their play. But the game against Aston Villa, they should have been 3-0 up at half-time. If you analyse the performances, I don't think they've dropped their standards at all."Everybody speaks about Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana because of their goalscoring threat. But you have to also look everywhere else on the pitch, from Luke Shaw to the two centre-halves, Schneiderlin - I think they've got very strong players all over the pitch."We saw at Goodison in December , they gave us a very interesting game from a technical point of view and we know we're going to be tested to the maximum."When they play at home, they're a team who are very difficult to play against and we will need to be at our very best to get a positive result."

But on a hot and muggy Sunday afternoon, the streets were deserted.

I was looking into buying a KelTec but didn't want a black one. I found this guy on GunBroker.GoldenLoki.com
Now I am not pumping him, he just had some info on his site on how he does it and his gallery could give you some ideas. I ended up buying an LCP in raspberry, but I would consider this if I were buying one that I didn't want in black. I was actually thinking a red one and this guy was in driving distance of my house.
I've had great results using KG Gun Kote, although I found their satin black was too glossy for my taste, and their flat black was too flat. I mix the two colors 50/50 and the results are very close to many factory blue firearms. The finish holds up to everything but bead-blasting...

Chicken Soup with Barley
Opens: 02/06/2011 Closes: 16/07/2011 Royal Court Theatre, LondonArnold Wesker's landmark play returns to the Royal Court after more than 50 years. Dominic Cooke directs Olivier Award-winning actress Samantha Spiro in the epic drama, spanning twenty years in the life of a politically-minded Jewish family. For more information visit: http://www.royalcourttheatre.com/whats-on/chicken-soup-with-barley Buy: http://www.royalcourttheatre.com/whats-on/chicken-soup-with-barley
Page [1]
Evening Standard"A deep core of humanity..." Today, the substance of this family chronicle seems less novel, but it's a lot more than just a dusty period piece, and Cooke's interpretation, with an affectionately detailed design by Ultz, is meticulous and impressive...
Whatsonstage.com"Finding your voice..." Wesker wrote what he knew in these plays, and what he felt, and for anyone like me who comes from anything like the same East End background, they are simply iconic, historic, ground-breaking, heart-breaking; still, after all these years...
The Stage"Towering performances..." Though there's a forced, awkward quality to those early attic scenes, Dominic Cooke's production grows in power as the play moves into the forties and fifties...
The Independent"Cooke's production has a terrific vivacity..." I was wrestling with lump in my throat of golf ball proportion. Wonderful, too, is Danny Webb's performance as her feckless husband, Harry. Highly recommended..
Financial Times"A deep vein of humanity..." Seen now, the dated aspects of the play certainly emerge, but so, too, do the timeless ones. Cooke's beautifully judged production and Spiro's moving performance leave us with Sarah's words ringing in our ears...
The Telegraph"Vitality, detail and emotional depth..." There is far more to admire than cavil over, and there is nothing sentimental about Wesker's portrait of the Kahn family that he based at least partly on his own. The souring of political hope is strongly caught...
Guardian"Dominic Cooke's flawless production..." With strong support from Tom Rosenthal as the idealistic Ronnie and Harry Peacock as a young militant turned Manchester shopkeeper, this is a production that should encourage a whole new generation to discover the often neglected Wesker...

July may be tiresome, but there's little the NCAA can do to fix that
Jul 16, 2013, 12:59 PM EST
Yesterday, I wrote about the current July evaluation period structure — three five-day recruiting periods in a 19 day span, broken up by a pair of Mondays and Tuesdays — and the fact that a number of coaches and people involved with high-level recruits believed that it wasn't the best option.
I ended on this note: "the one thing that most people seem to agree upon is that this is not the best possible model."
That may be true, but the question that should be asked is whether or not there is a better option than this. As John Infante of the Bylaw Blog notes, there really isn't an answer that makes July any less strenuous on the kids, and it's the kids that matter here, not the coaches.
Think about it. We changed from the two 10-day recruiting periods because the prospects were toast by the end a week-and-a-half stretch of playing two and three games a day while shlepping across the country. Sean Miller, Arizona's head coach, proposed a single 12-to-15 day evaluation period, but that would only exacerbate all of the problems involved in both schedule structures. Portland head coach Eric Reveno tossed out the idea of having a set number of recruiting days for the coaches, but that would mean that the players have to be on the road constantly, as the players looking to earn a scholarship will want to play in front of coaches as often as possible.
The bottom-line, Infante says, is that the NCAA has reached the point where trying to regulate grassroots basketball is a lost-cause:
the NCAA's rules have little effect on when or where prospects play. How quickly experienced head coaches like Reveno and Miller forget what happened with April AAU events. The NCAA banned Division I coaches from going, but the NCAA cannot stop the recruiting media from attending. Just because a player cannot be seen by coaches in person does not mean a tournament is not a good place to be seen period. College coaches then complained about having to appease the same third-parties the NCAA wanted to remove from the recruiting process in order to get information about April events.
The NCAA has reached the limit of what it alone can reasonably do to "fix" AAU. As coverage and even broadcasting of nonscholastic basketball expands, the NCAA's tools of when college coaches can attend events and which events it certifies are getting less and less useful.
The bottom-line is that the NCAA should be concerned first-and-foremost with building rules that primarily benefit the athletes, but regardless of how they structure July evaluation periods, the prospects are going to be on the road, playing in as many events as possible. The companies that hold these AAU tournaments and exposure camps make their money during these spring and summer months, and as long as the camps and tournaments are profitable, they are going to host as many of them as possible.
The NCAA can only stop that one way, and it's not going to happen. From Infante:
Unless you are prepared to watch a kid get suspended or ruled ineligible because he played into too many AAU tournaments while chasing a scholarship, the NCAA needs outside help to fix this problem.

Ok, so what about Harrison OR Max?

Ok, so I've had lots of feedback on my 2 possible girl names Olive or Isla (which seems to be pretty split so no closer to a decision there) but what about if its a boy - the only ones me and my partner agree on so far are:
- Harrison
- Max
- Archer
- Henry
Our first son is Xander...any suggestions???
Posted 17 January 2013 - 10:51 AM
I really like Xander and Max, but my concern is.. if you have a third child will you be under pressure to put an X? silly I know but that was my first thought.
With that said I think Xander & Harrison are the best pairing.
ETA suggestions
Xander and Sebastian
Xander and Leo
Xander and Mason
Xander and Riley
Xander and Steen
Xander and Griffin
Xander and Marcus

Love Harrison, Max and Archer. You'll be winning on any of them Max is my fave though
Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:00 AM
I really love Henry and Max.
I like Harrison and Archer but worry they will date because they seem to be in a popularity spike. I still like them though.
I think I'd go with Max.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:04 AM
I love Harrison, Archer and Henry but I think something more nicknamey sounds better with Xander because Xander is very nicknamey for me. Just Harry or Archie would be better.
Max is ok as a nickname only to Maxwell, Maximus, Maximilian etc but I think just Max goes better with Xander than any of these or any of the other names you have.
So with Xander, Max is my pick.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:07 AM
Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:07 AM
Henry gets my vote.
I like Max, but don't like how both the names then have an x in them - makes it look like you are trying to make a point. And Xander and Archer sound quite similar to me...
Harrison is NMS.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:12 AM
Thanks for the feedback so far...with our first we actually debated over the use of Archer and Harrison for a long time - each would be known as Archie or Harry.
But now given Xander, I think we need to discount Archer as I agree the 2 'er' names does not bode well!
Keey your feedback coming though!
Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:21 AM
Henry gets my vote.
Edited by vanessa71, 17 January 2013 - 11:22 AM.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:35 AM
- Harrison - dislike
- Max -like
- Archer - ok
- Henry - ok
Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:48 AM
Harry (not Harrison though)
Great names.
Same again.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:48 AM
I always choose Henry (love the name SO much) but in this instance I don't see it as a good fit with Xander. I think you need to go with something that has a bit more spunk. Max is a good choice, or something like Hugo?
Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:49 AM
I like both Harrison and Max.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:52 AM
Max and Henry are clear faves for me!
Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:53 AM
I only like Henry from your list. I agree with PPs that just Harry is nicer than Harrison. I don't like Archer or Max (or any of the Max- variants at all) and wouldn't use two names with predominant Xs in a sibset.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:58 AM
I prefer Harrison (Harry) or Max
Posted 17 January 2013 - 01:49 PM
Max or Harry
Posted 17 January 2013 - 02:25 PM
Posted 17 January 2013 - 09:17 PM
I pick Xander and Max.
I like the suggestions of Leo and Griffin.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 09:46 PM
My little man is Max Henry so i like both those!

Covered California to distribute $43M in grants, solicits applications
Send this to a friend

Covered California, the health benefits exchange set up to implement key parts of Obamacare in California, is soliciting applications for $43 million in grants.
The initial application deadline is March 4. Depending on what response rate it gets, the exchange may ask for additional applications in late May.
Its goal is to find community organizations to help it reach uninsured and "subsidy eligible" Californians who may not know about or understand the purpose of the exchange. The exchange's top officials, led by Executive Director Peter Lee, hope that "trusted organizations" will help it reach Golden State citizens in rural areas, minority neighborhoods, ethnic enclaves and other locales or groups that are difficult to reach using traditional media, advertising and the like.
Of the $43 million, to cover two years of implementation, $40 million will go to groups that target consumers who are eligible to enroll in Covered California. The remaining $3 million will go to groups targeting small businesses eligible to provide coverage through the Small Business Health Options Program.
Nonprofit community, consumer and advocacy groups are eligible to apply for grants, as are "faith-based organizations," trade, industry or professional organizations, chambers of commerce, health care providers, college, tribal organizations, and city or county agencies.
Enrollment in Covered California is set to begin Oct. 1, and the online marketplace is slated to begin operations Jan. 1.
Some skeptics wonder if the California exchange, and similar exchanges in states nationwide, will be ready to roll that soon, although Lee says that won't be a problem. Still, getting a plethora of community groups on board with the process has been an issue, informed observers say, and many California health insurance brokers aren't happy about the process either.

This is my HG for.....strips??? haha I don't know how many of these exist but I really do love em!
If I feel like my pores are enlarged on my nose or need some work. I whip this out, rip em off and then exfoliate immediately after and I get great results!
Essentially, this product is for your pores and to minimise the appearance for them. Biore does that. It gets rid of the gunk in your pores NOT black heads. This product is called a pore strip for your pores and it works. I will always repurchase as there is nothing else like it on the market and my pores feel amazing afterwards.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a product I use regularly and always repurchase when I'm out, but at the same time I'm not super impressed with these. My nose is covered with blackheads...Luckily my pores aren't large so they aren't super noticeable, but no matter what I do I cannot get rid of these blackheads. I use these strips once a week after a hot shower to help open up the pores and exfoliating. Getting the strip on is a piece of cake, and it isn't uncomfortable to use, even as it dries and tightens up. I peel the strip off about 10 minutes later, which again, is not painful...Kinda feels like pulling off a Band-Aid. My problem is that sometimes these strips just don't work for some reason. Sometimes they'll pull a ton of gunk off, sometimes I only see one or two little spots that it pulled out. Like I said, I use these the same way every time, and I know the blackheads are definitely there. Maybe they're just too deep and don't want to come out? I don't know, really. And even though these do temporarily help with blackheads, I find they're back just a few days later. When I started using these, I was expecting a more permanent fix. I'll keep buying these and using them weekly because I feel like they work better than anything else, but I just didn't get the awesome results I was hoping for from these.
These do work, but they're not anything miraculous... First, use a scrub made for blackheads or a deep cleansing scrub, then use a clay mask then use these strips... A lot of blackheads came out but you have to do it SLOWLY, it may hurt but no pain no gain... If you have stubborn blackheads, you may have to keep doing it once a week to get rid of them, but it's good not amazing...
Great overall, if I get my nose wet enough they're perfect. Helps to use a Clarisonic on my nose first to loosen up.
Also, the baking soda/water solution beforehand works pretty well to loosen everything - I just wipe that on and leave it for a few minutes.
Tried multiple times following all instructions, never worked! Maybe removed a little bit of dead skin but not blackheads. I got results with the extra strength formula though.
These do work but you cant expect them to get everything out. They work best when you come straight out of the shower because the steam opens up your pores, however if you don't want to have a shower but you still want to use them you can fill a large bowl with steaming water and put your face over it with a towel over the back of your head, do this for about 5 minutes, then you can apply the pore strip and it will work a lot better. Also make sure you wet your nose a lot before you put it on or it will not work. When you take them off make sure to remove them slowly. Over all i really like them.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I tried these when they first came out (I believe I was in high school at the time), and they did nothing. I figured I was doing it wrong. Years (and years) later, I have lately been struggling with very congested pores. No scrub, no mask, no motorized brush seemed to be working. I wasn't even aware that they made these anymore, until I stumbled across them at the small Walgreens in my town while looking for some solution to the problem. I remembered my lack of results 10+ years ago, but still figured it was just operator-error. It's not - they still do nothing. I followed the very simple instructions exactly, tore it off, and Viola', nothing. Nothing but maybe a few dead skin cells. Very unimpressive. So I looked into it on a few different derm's webpages, and they too, say that these strips cannot actually remove blackheads, even if they temporarily give the appearance of such. In my case, it didn't even give the appearance of removing anything. Complete waste of money.
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I actually like this product, I have the regular ones by the way, not the deep cleansing. I have used these since high school and I recently bought another pack. They`re not cheap, but I use a strip about every month and a half, so it's really not a lot of money. I tried other peel off mask type pore cleansers but they are awful. These do work, they don't make your blackheads and pores disappear, but they do de-clog and that's worth it to me. It is a bit painful to remove though.
My daughter and I have used these for years and they are very effective at pulling out the blackheads and gunk from the pores. I've tried other brands but they don't do as good of a job as Biore strips. I try to buy these when I have a percentage off shopping spree at CVS or a coupon because they are a little pricy. However, they are fabulous and pulling out the "trees" of crap from the pores. We love looking at them when we're done and the stuff looks like little pine trees on the strip. Brilliant!

The Note's Must-Reads are a round-up of today's political headlines and stories from ABC News and the top U.S. newspapers. Posted Monday through Friday right here at www.abcnews.com
Compiled by ABC News Digital News Associates Jayce Henderson, Jacqueline Fernandez and Amanda VanAllen and Desk Assistant Carrie Helperin.
ABC News' Matt Negrin: "Mitt Romney Blasts Newt Gingrich as 'Influence Peddlar'" Mitt Romney tonight accused Newt Gingrich of "influence peddling" during his time as a consultant for Freddie Mac, a sharp attack from the one-time front-runner that reflected the close race for the Republican nomination. The showdown between Romney and Gingrich on center stage at the latest Republican presidential debate, eclipsing the two other candidates, wore on for so long that at one point, the debate's moderator had to cut them off to take a commercial break. LINK
ABC News' Amy Walter: "Florida's Ad War Shows Mitt Romney And Allies Pummeling Newt Gingrich" While Newt Gingrich boasts of a big post-South Carolina fundraising haul, his campaign is getting outspent by more than a 10-1 margin on the Florida airwaves. According to a source with knowledge of Florida TV advertising purchases, the Romney campaign and the pro-Romney SuperPAC "Restore Our Future" have purchased a combined $6.8M worth of TV time in the state, while the Gingrich campaign and the pro-Gingrich SuperPAC "Winning Our Future" have purchased a combined $501,000 of TV ad time. LINK
The New York Times' Jeff Zeleny and Jim Rutenberg: "Romney Unleashes Attack With Gingrich Sole Target" Mitt Romney leveled a searing attack against Newt Gingrich's character and raised pointed questions about his ability to lead during a debate here Monday evening, taking urgent steps to slow Mr. Gingrich's rising momentum in the fight for the Republican presidential nomination. LINK
