Washington Nationals (48-40) at Baltimore Orioles (49-40), 7:05 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Washington - Doug Fister (7-2, 2.93) Baltimore - Bud Norris (7-5, 3.62)
(SportsNetwork.com) - What happens when a power surge meets a top-flight pitcher?
The Baltimore Orioles will find out Wednesday night at home, when their suddenly red-hot bats are squared off against Washington pitcher Doug Fister in game two of a now weather-altered three-game series.
The teams played at Nationals Park on Monday and were scheduled to finish there Tuesday, but the game was postponed after a 2 1/2-hour rain delay. The final two games of what would have been a four-game set will be played in Baltimore.
Tuesday's postponed game will be made up at Nationals Park on Aug. 4.
The Orioles have won seven of eight games after taking Monday's opener, 8-2, with three home runs in the 11th inning. Baltimore had four home runs for the game.
Fister has allowed three or less runs in nine of 11 starts this season, including a seven-inning stint on Wednesday against Colorado that ended in a 4-3 triumph.
"Doug felt really strong, which is an indication for him that the ball gets up in the zone a little bit," manager Matt Williams said. "But he battled through. He found it a little bit in the last couple of innings."
He's 3-2 with a 5.30 earned run average in six career starts against Baltimore.
The Orioles counter with Bud Norris, who makes his first appearance since a stretch on the 15-day disabled list with a right groin strain.
He'd won four straight starts and compiled a stingy 0.92 ERA in the final three outings before the injury. He last pitched on June 21, when he defeated the New York Yankees, 6-1.
Norris threw a simulated game on Saturday in preparation for the return date.
He's 2-0 in three lifetime starts against the Nationals with a 3.66 ERA.
On Monday, Manny Machado capped Baltimore's three-homer 11th with his career- high fifth hit of the night, a two-run blast, as the Orioles beat the Nationals.
Chris Davis and J.J. Hardy hit consecutive home runs in the 11th for the Orioles, who moved a season-high nine games over .500 (49-40).
Nelson Cruz belted a two-run homer and Nick Markakis added three hits, including an RBI double in the six-hit, 11th-inning outburst. Machado, who went 5-for-6 with two runs scored during his third contest back from a five- game suspension, is 9-for-17 since returning to the lineup.
Anthony Rendon smacked a two-run homer for the Nationals.
Baltimore won its series with the Nats, 3-1, a year ago.

Streamlining Government:
Questions to Consider When Evaluating Proposals to Consolidate Physical Infrastructure and Management Functions
GAO-12-542: Published: May 23, 2012. Publicly Released: May 23, 2012.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6806
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
The key to any consolidation initiative is the identification of and agreement on specific goals, with the consolidation goals being evaluated against a realistic expectation of how they can be achieved. Consolidation goals, for example, can be compromised and new problems introduced when an initiative is delayed or halted, with agencies running the risk of increased costs.
The initiative needs to be based on a clearly presented business-case or cost-benefit analysis and grounded in accurate and reliable data, both of which can show stakeholders why a particular initiative is being considered and the range of alternatives considered.
Physical infrastructure and management function consolidations often have up-front costs, such as paying for equipment and furniture moves and funding employee transfers, and agencies find it challenging to pay for these upfront costs.
- Since stakeholders often view consolidation as working against their own interests, it is critical that agencies identify who the relevant stakeholders are and develop a two-way communication strategy that both addresses their concerns and conveys the rationale for and overarching benefits associated with the consolidation.
- Finally, implementing a large-scale organizational transformation, such as a consolidation, requires the concentrated efforts of both leadership and employees to accomplish new organizational goals. Agencies should have an implementation plan for the consolidation that includes essential change management practices such as active, engaged leadership of executives at the highest possible levels; a dedicated implementation team that can be held accountable for change; and a strategy for capturing best practices, measuring progress toward the established goals of the consolidation, retaining key talent, and assessing and mitigating risk, among others.
Why GAO Did This Study
GAO has previously reported on many areas that appear to be duplicative, overlapping, or fragmented and has suggested that agencies could increase their efficiency and effectiveness by consolidating their physical infrastructure, such as research facilities, or consolidating their management functions, such as information technology. Such consolidation, however, involves weighing costs as well as benefits and can be complex and challenging to implement.
Given the potential benefits and costs of consolidation, it is imperative that Congress and the executive branch have the information needed to help effectively evaluate consolidation proposals. In this report, GAO identifies key questions that agencies should consider when evaluating whether to consolidate physical infrastructure and management functions and illustrates the questions with agency consolidation examples. GAO reviewed the consolidation literature; selected seven consolidation initiatives at the federal level in various stages of completion and one recommended consolidation; reviewed documentation and interviewed agency officials with responsibility for the initiatives; and interviewed public-management and government-reform experts with consolidation experience. GAO provided the draft for review and comment to the five agencies with consolidation initiatives that were not covered by prior GAO work and made technical changes as appropriate. GAO does not make recommendations in this report.

Huldine - define vigorous for a newbie please
I've read posts that refer to Huldine as vigorous. I haven't grown clematis before so I don't have a good frame of reference for how much space a vigorous clematis will need. I have a 40" wide by 72" tall trellis. I had planned to combine Huldine and Venosa Violacea. Will that be enough space for these two clematis?
I also considered combining Huldine with Duchess of Albany. Are there any advantages to that pairing over Huldine and Venosa Violacea?
I've learned so much from this forum. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I would think "Huldine" and "VV" would make a great pairing and contrast..especially with the white bars on "VV" ..Vigorous in my opinion is one that sends up alotta new shoots from the ground..grows like a weed and blooms its head off..LOL...I think your Trellis could easily use those two clematis and would look fantastic..Jeanne
Boy, I don't know. My VV is new and not too tall yet, but my Huldine climbs to the top of a crabapple tree (maybe 12') and this year is putting out 12 to 15 shoots. I think it might overwhelm the VV, and it will certainly want to grow taller than the trellis. I've never tried to keep a clem to only a certain height, so can't offer advice about that. Might it climb up one side of the trellis and fall down the other? I do agree that the two would look fantastic together. My VV is one of my favorites.
I agree that they would look great together but 72" is only 6 feet tall.
I have Venosa Violacea on an 9 foot trellis and it reached the top in it's first year with pinching and cutting back. Second year it trailed halfway back down and I'm scared for this year.
It is my understanding that Huldine is a bigger grower than VV so I'd be concerned with a 6' trellis even in your zone.
Clematis on the Web says Huldine's growth is 2.5 to 6 meters which would be in a single season since she is hard prune.
They have 2 to 4 meters for Venosa Violacea.
They are outstanding Clematis, and you certainly can try them and I would. Just be prepared to make the trellis bigger. :)

Snapper Riding Mower Starter problem
I have a Snapper Riding Mower, Series 8, 10 hp B/S engine, Hi Vac with electric start, Mod# 28108BE
My starter motor runs but the bendix starter gear will not move up to engage the flywheel even after I put a battery charger on it to boost the power.
The starter gear looks fine and it freely moves up the spindle by hand. I remember years ago, I had a similar problem previously and I bought a few starter gear mechanism parts from a local Snapper dealer. I remember disassembling the bendix drive somehow and replacing the parts. Now I seem to remember how to get the bendix drive to disassemble.
I do see the plastic cone that is on top is broken.
Can anyone direct me to a diagram of the starter and/or how to disassemble the bendix drive?
I can't find any Snapper electric starter drive parts at any online Snapper parts suppliers?
I would appreciate any quick assistance with this.
Yes, a battery connected the wrong way, will spin the starter shaft backwards, but the gear will not run up to connect with the flywheel ring gear.
there have been a lot of starters replaced by folks who didn't realise the problem! The positive (+) cable must go on the + post on the side of the starter, and the negative (-) post must go to the frame of the machine or the starter housing. Of course, this is a simple way of explaining it and a simple test.
If you weren't able to fix this problem you should check either the Briggs Starter Parts page (linked to below) or the Snapper Manuals page and search for the specific part. I'll post a link to that in the following post.

I have a total of $11,450 across 7 cards. I am using 27% of my total avalible credit.
4 of the cards are 0 balance, and the other 3 are at 77%,49% and 70% utilization.
For the biggest boost in fico should i just keep on payin off the lowest balance card to get another one at 0 utilization or should i be spreading my money out across all 3 cards?
Thanks in advance.
Since more than half of your cards are at zero, I wouldn't worry about zeroing another one until each is no higher than somewhere around ten to fiften percent. Less than fifty percent to begin with seems to be good advice.
Thanks for the reply.
Personally I would at this point is apply more money to the higher interst rate card to eliminat the debt.
Your UTIL is still high at 27% overall for scoring purposes.
If you eliminated another card by paying it down to zero that would lower your overall UTIL even further.
For best scoring purposes, you need to keep all CC's at a zero balance for when the statement hits except 1 of them. The one CC that you do have report a balance should not report more than 9% UTIL.
FICO scores... score on overall UTIL of all CC's and Individual UTIL of each CC.

I really don't like these interview tubes. What ever happened to innovative and exciting sexual scenes?
Some of these tubes are all alike. Most are too rough. The stars should never look at the camera. I enjoy seeing seduction scenes leading up to the sex.

Kon nichi wa.
My name is Takanori Tomita.
I've been teaching Japanese on the interne since 2008.
Learn more about me
Today's Japanese writing lesson
is about how to write the days of week in Japanese
At the end of this lesson, you can write "Monday to Sunday" in Japanese
kanji symbols.
There is a simple rule to apply.
You can also learn to say each
week in Japanese.
Days of the Week
Time flies. Isshukan (means one
week) is over before you know it.
And the Shumatsu (means weekend) is too short!
Both American and Japanese weeks
have seven days.
In America, week starts on sunday, but a Japanese week starts on Monday.
Here is teh list of th days of
the week in Japanese language.
As you can see, we use exactly
the same 2 Japanese kanji symbols and only change
the first character, as well as the pronunciation
of "Yo bi" part is the same.
So, we write week days as a whole
like the following.
In Japanese, we say "Ge
Ka Sui moku kin Do Nichi"
Please also watch the following video lesson to learn how to say monday to sunday in Japanese.

New technique could bring quality-control tool for nanocompositesMarch 23, 2015 4:10 pm | by Emil Venere, Purdue Univ. | News | Comments
Layered nanocomposites containing tiny structures mixed into a polymer matrix are gaining commercial use, but their complex nature can hide defects that affect performance. Now researchers have developed a system capable of detecting such defects using a "Kelvin probe" scanning method with an atomic force microscope. The ability to look below the surface of nanocomposites represents a potential new quality-control tool for industry.
Artificial intelligence systems more apt to fail than destroyMarch 23, 2015 1:52 pm | by David Stauth, Oregon State Univ. | News | Comments
The most realistic risks about the dangers of artificial intelligence are basic mistakes, breakdowns and cyber attacks, an expert in the field says—more so than machines that become super powerful, run amok and try to destroy the human race.
Catching and releasing tiny moleculesMarch 23, 2015 1:47 pm | by Paul Karoff, Harvard Univ. | News | Comments
Employing an ingenious microfluidic design that combines chemical and mechanical properties, a team of Harvard Univ. scientists has demonstrated a new way of detecting and extracting biomolecules from fluid mixtures. The approach requires fewer steps, uses less energy, and achieves better performance than several techniques currently in use and could lead to better technologies for medical diagnostics and chemical purification.
Chemical fingerprints of ancient supernovae foundMarch 23, 2015 12:03 pm | by Carnegie Institute | News | Comments
A Carnegie Institute-based search of nearby galaxies for their oldest stars has uncovered two stars in the Sculptor dwarf galaxy that were born shortly after the galaxy formed, approximately 13 billion years ago. The unusual chemical content of the stars may have originated in a single supernova explosion from the first generation of Sculptor stars.
Air pollutants could boost potency of common airborne allergensMarch 23, 2015 11:43 am | by American Chemical Society | News | Comments
A pair of air pollutants linked to climate change could also be a major contributor to the unparalleled rise in the number of people sneezing and wheezing during allergy season. The gases, nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone, appear to provoke chemical changes in certain airborne allergens that could increase their potency. That, in combination with changes in global climate, could explain why airborne allergies are more common.
Genomewide screen of learning in zebrafish identifies enzyme important in neural circuitMarch 23, 2015 11:37 am | by Karen Kreeger, Univ. of Pennsylvania | News | Comments
Researchers at the Univ. of Pennsylvania describe the first set of genes important in learning in a zebrafish model in Neuron. Using in-depth analysis of one of the genes, the team has revealed an important signaling pathway. According to the researchers, the proteins in this pathway could provide new insights into the development of novel pharmacological targets.
Have researchers discovered the sound of stars?March 23, 2015 10:32 am | by David Garner, Senior Press Officer, Univ. of York | News | Comments
A chance discovery by a team of researchers, including a Univ. of York scientist, has provided experimental evidence that stars may generate sound. The study of fluids in motion goes back to the Egyptians, so it isn't often that new discoveries are made. However when examining the interaction of an ultra-intense laser with a plasma target, the team observed something unexpected.
Even at a molecular level, taking it slow helps to cope with stressMarch 23, 2015 10:08 am | by Sarah Yang, Media Relations, UC Berkeley | News | Comments
Univ. of California, Berkeley, scientists have identified a new molecular pathway critical to aging, and confirmed that the process can be manipulated to help make old blood like new again. The researchers found that blood stem cells' ability to repair damage caused by inappropriate protein folding in the mitochondria, a cell's energy station, is critical to their survival and regenerative capacity.
Artificial sweetener could lead to new treatments for aggressive cancersMarch 23, 2015 9:58 am | by American Chemical Society | News | Comments
Saccharin, the artificial sweetener that is the main ingredient in Sweet 'N Low, Sweet Twin and Necta, could do far more than just keep our waistlines trim. According to new research, this popular sugar substitute could potentially lead to the development of drugs capable of combating aggressive, difficult-to-treat cancers with fewer side effects.
Superfast computers a step closer to realityMarch 23, 2015 9:03 am | by Univ. of Surrey | News | Comments
The team demonstrated a quantum on/off switching time of about a millionth of a millionth of a second—the fastest-ever quantum switch to be achieved with silicon and over a thousand times faster than previous attempts. The team will investigate how to connect quantum objects to each other, creating the bigger building blocks needed for quantum computers.
Satellite imagery can aid development projectsMarch 23, 2015 8:52 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Projects that target aid toward villages and rural areas in the developing world often face time-consuming challenges, even at the most basic level of figuring out where the most appropriate sites are for pilot programs or deployment of new systems such as solar-power for regions that have no access to electricity. Often, even the sizes and locations of villages are poorly mapped, so time-consuming field studies are needed.
Sewage could be a source of valuable metals, critical elementsMarch 23, 2015 8:42 am | by American Chemical Society | News | Comments
Poop could be a goldmine, literally. Surprisingly, treated solid waste contains gold, silver and other metals, as well as rare elements such as palladium and vanadium that are used in electronics and alloys. Now researchers are looking at identifying the metals that are getting flushed and how they can be recovered. This could decrease the need for mining and reduce the unwanted release of metals into the environment.
New membranes deliver clean water more efficientlyMarch 23, 2015 8:31 am | by Univ. of Melbourne | News | Comments
Researchers from the Melbourne School of Engineering at the Univ. of Melbourne, in conjunction with CSIRO, have developed new membranes or microfilters that will result in clean water in a much more energy-efficient manner. Published in Advanced Materials, the new membranes will supply clean water for use in desalination and water purification applications.
Squid-inspired invisibility stickers to protect soldiersMarch 23, 2015 8:21 am | by American Chemical Society | News | Comments
Squid are the ultimate camouflage artists, blending almost flawlessly with their backgrounds so that unsuspecting prey can't detect them. Using a protein that's key to this process, scientists have designed "invisibility stickers" that could one day help soldiers disguise themselves, even when sought by enemies with tough-to-fool infrared cameras.
Twisted light increases efficiency of quantum cryptography systemsMarch 23, 2015 8:03 am | by Leonor Sierra, Univ. of Rochester | News | Comments
Researchers at the Univ. of Rochester and their collaborators have developed a way to transfer 2.05 bits per photon by using "twisted light." This remarkable achievement is possible because the researchers used the orbital angular momentum of the photons to encode information, rather than the more commonly used polarization of light.

Deviant Art
It seems it's time to say goodbye...((Skip to the end if you want to know how to see the - now deleted - gallery))
Hello, Deviants, it's good old Kalma here for (most surely) the last time.
During the last 5 years (6 if you count the year I spent almost inactive) I've met a lot of people here. We've laughed together, we've been random and crazy together, we've shared this beautiful feeling of belonging to the big happy - and sometimes frustrating - family of artists that DA is.
However, when I began here I was, if I am not mistaken, 14 years old. I am now 21, and my life and interests are not quite the same.
I remember how happy I was to finally find equals here that truly liked my - crappy, let's admit it - art, and enjoyed my comics and stories. Ah! How I enjoyed the Sonic fandom, and drawing my OC Kalma! I had Team Rush for a while, got my heart broken, made a very good Kiwi friend - ;D - and met a lot of interesting people. The Knouge club was a success, and My Friends Next Door, the Sonic Comic, was even kn

Please join or donate something. <3 ( Art related things or points )
1. Round:
The 1. task is to draw Faylen, doing what she loves or just being herself.
You won't find any discriptions anywhere for Faylen (except for here in this journal), so don't search for any.
Yeah, I know that's a pretty boring idea but I can't come up with anything good.. And I don't want you to wait that long.
For ideas, you can look at the discription down there. Btw, the picture doesn't has to look to complex, but I'd love some details. <3 And please don't draw a sitting cat staring into the camera. Be creative!
If you don't want to do this, you can also draw her in a forest doin' some adventurious things.
It's kinda easier than the first task, so, if you do this, you have to make it more complex and detailled.
Name: Faylen
Gender: Female
Age: Idk.. Teen.
Species: Cat
Personality: Well, she likes being sarcastic. She is funny and very childish, and loves being a

Points Challenge: Be A Hero, Report a Miscat!Points Challenge: Be A Hero, Report a Miscat!2 years ago in Deviant Events More Like This
Miscats: What are they? Why do they matter? How do they happen?
REMINDER: This challenge is only open until October 31st! Get your comments in by then or miss out on points!
A "miscat" is a deviation that has been submitted to the wrong gallery, or mis-categorized, on deviantART. For example, literature does not belong in the photography gallery, even if there is a photograph supplied as a preview picture for the writing.
They matter for several reasons. Miscats make searching for specific types of deviations tedious, particularly if you are looking for newer submissions. A search of the Writing Tutorials gallery for popular deviations in the last 24 hours brought up four deviations, all miscats. Miscats also make the site disorganized and even harder to navigate for new comers. Lastly, they make your work harder to reach by taking up space in the wrong gallery.
I'm sure others can think of reasons why miscats are annoying, and I invite you to leav

Pokemon Gijinka Contest (closed)//EDIT: Even though I said which Pokemon were my favorite, I would love to see all them done~Pokemon Gijinka Contest (closed)2 years ago in Personal More Like This
//EDIT: ;A; No one made a Leafeon Gijinka yet~
My first time holding a contest. It will be a design contest. The point of this contest will be to design a male or female Gijinka of one of the six Pokemon listed.
~Gijinka (擬人化) is a Japanese word meaning "humanoid", "personification", or "anthropomorphic", although the use of the word outside of Japan has come to be slightly different from the use of the word "anthropomorphic" in the anime/manga/furry/etc communities. Rather than referring to just any animal with human characteristics, a gijinka is most often a fan re-design of an animal-like character in a human or humanoid form, (ex: a Digimon or Pokémon).
So I know everyone's art style is differ

As I have just been accepted to college, commissions will be my main source of income. I would like to make some examples of commissions (of types I have not been commissioned for yet / new stuff) so I will temporarily be allowing requests. I'm posting this journal now while it's on my mind, but I won't be actually getting to the art after a while.
I'll show what I need first, then the rules, so you can see if there's anything you'd like to see your character drawn as.
1 50x50 pixel icon (can be animated) - OPEN
It will be quite like the one I am using on my profile now except a bit better since that one is old. I'd prefer a more colorful character if possible to show off what I can do with pixels/sprites. I can do simple animations.

We spent most of our time with family in another, very pleasant unit. Ours, 102A, was flea infested, bites all over our legs. Under the burners on the stove, filthy. Dishwasher on its last legs. Dead bugs in the cabinets, on windowsills, and under furniture (where it was never cleaned). Bath fixtures in very bad shape, needs replacing. Carpets are obviously never cleaned. When stripping beds, mattress pads stained and crawling with, yes, fleas! Sofas are smelly and stained. Deck carpet disgusting - just not the same experience we've had in the past! TV's have 3-4 remotes, and one needed batteries. Management attitude lackluster when we complained. My advice to owner: Clean it, I mean, really CLEAN it, with a real vacuum cleaner, fantastic with bleach, etc, do not use fabric covered furniture or carpeting because it's hard to keep clean with so many visitors staying there. Repaint, and replace shabby furnishings and appliances. Not worth one cent to stay there.

Pledge to participate in Earth Hour 2015.
Power down for one hour on Saturday, March 28 at 8:30 p.m.
UAlberta students, staff and faculty can win a great prize too. Make the pledge and you will be entered to win a credit on your ONEcard.
Ten prizes of $50 each are available.
Earth Hour is a global movement organized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). It is held annually in late March and asks households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour.
Earth Hour is about more than just switching off lights for sixty minutes a year. It's about focusing on the small actions that individuals can take to reduce their energy consumption and environmental footprint. Simple changes in lifestyle choices can make a big difference to your individual environmental impact. Earth Hour gives people the chance to talk about these lifestyle choices, and to work together to tackle the challenge of climate change.
Make Your Pledge
Now until March 28, 2015

Evolution of the Kitchen and Bath
Our lighting expert talks remodels, and then changing roles of these two important rooms.
How has the homeowner's conception of the kitchen and bath evolved over the past 10 years?
The kitchen has now become the new center for casual entertaining; home-owners want the light to be as flattering here as it is in the living room and dining room. Meanwhile, bathrooms have become private sanctuaries that serve as more than a place to shower and use the WC. They can be a little oasis from the stress of the day.

CHICAGO – There was a candidate at the outset of the Republican primary who seemed a decent bet to win it all, or at the very least contend until the final days of the race. He had the organization of a top-notch campaign staff, the experience as governor of a traditionally blue state, the war chest to mount a strong bid, the appearance of your everyday politician, and the no-skeletons-in-the-closet resume built to withstand the national spotlight.
But today Tim Pawlenty is an afterthought, the first candidate to exit the race when he dropped out after the Iowa straw poll in August. Despite his strength on paper, Pawlenty simply did not resonate with voters, which, after all, is the only thing that really matters in political campaigns.
Could Mitt Romney be suffering from a similar problem? Just like Pawlenty, Romney seems to have it all, on paper. The former governor of Massachusetts has a well-honed resume, the experience of his 2008 bid for the White House, a seasoned campaign staff, gobs of money, and a clean-as-a-whistle background. In fact, Romney has far more support than Pawlenty ever did.
But here we are, less than three weeks from the Iowa caucuses, and Romney has been unable to gain any ground in the polls in the past six months. Month after month, there he is, stuck with around 25 percent support, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less.
There are two ways to look at that fact. The glass-half-full approach is the one Romney has taken: While other candidates surge to the top of the polls only to plunge back down – see Cain, Herman; and Perry, Rick – Romney has held steady, if not at the top then at least in the top two.
"For the entire last year, I've been either at the lead or number two," Romney told Politico last week. "That's a pretty good place to be."
Then there's the glass-half-empty approach: While one-quarter of Republican voters are sure about their support for Romney, the remaining three-quarters of voters are frantically seeking another option.
"It may be that Newt is appealing to something that … Mitt isn't appealing to," former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani said Thursday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "There's something wrong when you've been running as long as Mitt has and you're at 25 percent. … Seventy-five percent of the other Republicans are telling you something about him. … I think it's deeper than just a) 'he's kind of staid' and everything else."
"I ran against him in '07, '08, I have never seen a guy – and I've run in a lot of elections, supported a lot of people, opposed them – never seen a guy change his positions on so many things, so fast, on a dime," he added.
Whether it is that reputation as a flip-flopper or eyebrow-raising comments such as "corporations are people" or his offer to Perry of a $10,000 bet, Romney has yet to gain any more support than he had when the GOP primary began.
A Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll released Tuesday revealed that 40 percent of Republican voters back Newt Gingrich, compared to 23 percent for Romney and less than 10 percent for the rest of the candidates. While Romney acknowledged to Politico that Gingrich is the front-runner at the moment, Romney also noted that it is "a very fluid electorate" and he expects to win the nomination.
"I've got – what? – five or six more months to make that a reality," he said.
But what more can Romney do to convince GOP voters, a good chunk of whom might have already made up their minds about him? For starters, he can tap into his ample war chest.
Romney is hitting the airwaves this week in South Carolina, the third state to vote in the primary. He is already on the air in Iowa and New Hampshire.
He can also get through to voters by becoming more media-friendly, something that he has started to do this past week. After for the most part steering clear of interviews this year, a strategy that backfired when he appeared frustrated and flustered during a sit-down with FOX News a few weeks ago, he has lately found time to chat with almost every major national news outlet, including an interview with ABC News before last Saturday's debate in Des Moines.
Another way Romney can try to boost his support is by calling into action his volunteer army. In Iowa, he has a network of motivated, politically-connected volunteers fighting on his behalf while he campaigns elsewhere.
While Romney has pledged not to make "offensive" or "incendiary" statements about Gingrich, that doesn't mean he is going to stay quiet and let the former House speaker run away with his party's nomination. Far from it.
He called Gingrich "zany" in an interview this week with the New York Times, described him as "a very wealthy man" and hardly a member of the middle class in a sit-down with CBS News, and told the Washington Post that Gingrich was "an extraordinarily unreliable leader in the conservative world."
All the criticisms might be working. Romney insiders have suggested this week that Gingrich may be starting to slip in the polls. If Romney can knock Gingrich off his perch, then who will be left for Republican voters to turn to in their search for a so-called "anti-Romney alternative"?
Cain has suspended his campaign in the wake of numerous allegations of sexual misconduct. Perry was sitting pretty earlier this fall, but quickly collapsed after a rash of poor debate performances and questionable comments, highlighted by his "oops" gaffe at a debate outside of Detroit last month. Michele Bachmann won the straw poll in August, but has since plunged toward the bottom of the polls. Ron Paul finished a close second to Bachmann in the straw poll and could spring a surprise in the Iowa caucuses, but is viewed as too much of a fringe candidate to make a serious bid for the nomination.
Rick Santorum has yet to gain any traction at all. And Jon Huntsman has focused solely on New Hampshire to the point that his poll numbers were so low in Iowa that he was failed to make the cut for ABC's recent debate there.
Romney's argument, then, could be that while he might not be exactly what the GOP's Tea Party wing is looking for, he remains the Republican with the best chance at knocking off President Obama in the general election.
In his interview with ABC's David Muir, Romney said there is "no question in my mind" that Gingrich would be an easier opponent for Obama to defeat than he would be.
After Pawlenty's abrupt withdrawal from the GOP race after his disastrous showing at the straw poll, the former Minnesota governor decided to endorse Romney and has since appeared on the campaign trail on numerous occasions to stump for him. Maybe along the way he has offered Romney some pointers on how to avoid a similar fate, despite their similar problems.

I found in my Y200 system/bild.prop a few strings, which are not in the Y300 build.prop file.
I am not a developer, but I think this means something about the hardware acceleration
also i have to tell all of you, Y200 is much smoother than Y300, i got it two weeks ago, and I was very surprised, that some launcher or app runs much smoother on Y200 than on Y300
if I write this four string to the Y300 biuld.prop file, related to the hardware acceleration, could happen something bad?
Edited by Laximus, 24 July 2013 - 11:53 PM.
I am using cleanbaseromNo5 on my y200 , wich is really great, so this build.prop from there
anyway, I would try it =)
do you know what have to write in to the y300 bulid.prop file, or somewhere else, to enable hardware acceleration the whole apps and phone?
i have a good TWRP back up from my working system, so if this doesnt work, i can restore my system

mac os x (10.4) landscaping/design/garden software??
Anyone have some software names they could toss my way? I'd like to hear from anyone who has Mac friendly software of this genre that they're satisfied with.
Suje, zone 6
I understand that Vectorworks is supposed to be a very good professional program. It has a landscape specific cad module.
I have had only minimal use of mac in school a few years back. Professional design offices pretty much stick to pc based cad systems, although I believe a lot of photoimaging and other graphics are often done with mac.
VectorWorks is a great software program - I'm seriously considering it myself for a PC application. But it may be well beyonds the needs of a nonprofessional. It's pretty expensive, has a sharp learning curve and requires a plotter. All in all, a little heavy duty for a homeowner just wanting to mess around with design software.
not specifically landscape but you could have a fun time with Sketchup
Also, archicad is another professional, mac-compatible CAD program. (expensive tho!)
Another vote for SketchUp. It's easy to use, once you get the hang of it (and the keyboard shortcuts). And fun to play around with. It's got some built-in landscaping shapes, but not many, unfortunately.
Here is a link that might be useful: Our yard idea, in SketchUp
Good luck. I couldn't find anything but a 60.00 program
on ClubMac that was total crap. This was about a year ago.
After not being able to find any floor plan/create a house programs
(and there are some great ones for pc's for non professionals) and now
none for landscaping I'm pretty peeved. I owned PC's from 88 till 2003 or so. I like the stability of my Mac but I'll be going back to a PC.
Hope you fare better.
Sketchup is $500. PC non-pro landscaping programs cost 1/10 that. It's disappointing that developers aren't catering to this market, but they follow the money.
One option, if you're not on Tiger and have a sufficiently fast Mac, is to try running a Windows landscaping program in Virtual PC. Depending on the graphics load, it will perform passably or sluggishly; only way to know is to try.
ok, how about mac draft
or appleworks or any one of a number of graphics/drawing programs for putting plant pictures on photos. True, there is no insta-garden, insert red plants here software (well, maybe there is somewhere, but its obviously hard to find), but there are many ways to make scaled drawings, and visualize things, with some creativity and thought. I don't believe the 3d-ish landscape modelling programs will work under virtual PC.
Try 'Virtual Garden' available on BBC's website...simple, free and offers 3D views. May have to 'pretend' that some plants are others as there are no planting zone options...obviously...the UK supports pretty much the same type of plants, no arid deserts there...
Here is a link that might be useful: BBC's Virtual Garden
Hi, I have been searching for a landscape program for the mac for quite some time and think I have found it - Punch! Home Design is available at the Apple Store web site in the software section. It's pricey ($149.95) but seems to offer everything I'd like, e.g. photo importing, 3d, full growth etc.
Hope that helps!
Here is a link that might be useful: Home Punch Home Design
Punch! does look interesting. I checked their website and will probably purchase soon. I've been using a draw program for about ten years now called Canvas. It's worked very well for me but the company was sold and it looks like it may not be supported for much longer. It has a paint component as well, but I've been using PhotoShop for imaging for almost as long, so I've never used Canvas for that.
The originator of Canvas, a company called Deneba also created an application called DenebaCad, which I purchased but never learned. I've long considered biting the bullet for the cost in dollars and learning curve for the highly rated VectorWorks (originally called MiniCad).
It seems like Punch! may be worth checking out as the price is quite reasonable for what it says it can do. Did you ever acquire Punch!, chillin already?
"there are some great ones for pc's for non professionals"
Really? I have tried a couple (purchased Broderbund's software and tried a demo of Punch) and they seemed like a lot of work to produce something that was not very useful. I found that I had much better luck with graph paper and sketching over the top of photo printouts. Funny because I am not very artistic, I like to do a lot with the computer and I have a hard time envisioning a design without seeing a picture.
- Brent
Try out ConceptDraw VI for landscape and garden design. It's available for Mac and Win as well.
Has anybody found a Mac software for the actual cataloging of plants and keeping photo's of plants along with planting info, such as pruning time, soil requirements etc. I have Ideas Genie for PC but really want to be able to drag photos from iphoto straight into a programme without resizing and stuff. Any ideas ! Anyone !
I used PunchUp for a community garden that I had to lay out in detail because the folks I was presenting it to couldn't "see" in their heads. It wasn't awful, which is more that I can say for any other home-user software I've tried.
I love Sketch-up for visualizing hardscapes and how beds will relate to a house, especially with substantial changes planned, but I haven't tried placing individual plants with it.

Teaching and Learning
The strategic use of information technology has the ability to transform teaching and learning helping institutions realize EDUCAUSE's mission of "transforming education through information technologies." All institutions have made educating learners a critical priority. Technology is a means, not an end, toward that goal.
EDUCAUSE focuses on understanding learners, aligning learning principles and practices together and integrating learning technology—all with the goal of improving student success. EDUCAUSE members also benefit from tools and techniques that enable them to deliver high quality academic programs and support services in a flexible manner. The strategic use of information technology can enhance student engagement, improve access, and make services more convenient. As IT is integrated into the academic enterprise, a number of other issues are raised such as financing, policies, faculty involvement, and assessment.
We encourage you to explore EDUCAUSE's resources on teaching and learning. These include the work of our members as well as material contributed from EDUCAUSE's strategic initiative, the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative. We hope you will find the material of use and encourage you to contribute to future EDUCAUSE activities in teaching and learning.
