The Rapids, shut out for the third time this season, are 1-8-5 in Washington since 2000.
Salihi, signed as a designated player from Austrian club Rapid Vienna this winter, scored twice in United's recent three-game trip.
After twice forcing saves from Pickens on close-range headers, Salihi got his first home goal in the 60th minute, sweeping in the rebound of Branko Boskovic's header.
De Rosario put United ahead in the 25th minute when he reached Lewis Neal's diagonal ball after Neal turned a midfield giveaway into a counterattack.
It was Neal's first assist of the season, in just his second start.
Two minutes later, Pickens made two impressive saves to keep Colorado in it, pushing over De Rosario's deflected shot before thwarting Robbie Russel's header off Boskovic's corner. Pickens also denied Salihi's goal-bound effort, also from Boskovic's corner kick, 2 minutes into the second half.
Bill Hamid needed just two saves to preserve United's fourth shutout of the season. United will play twice more at home during the next 10 days, then won't return until a June 30 game against Montreal.
The Rapids will play five of their next six games at home.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Vice President Joe Biden is pouncing on Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney in swing state Ohio, casting him as a corporate raider more interested in making profits than in the needs of workers.
In a speech set for delivery Wednesday in Youngstown, Ohio, Biden strikes hard at Romney, picking up on an attack line set this week in ads by the Obama campaign and by a super political action committee supporting the president's re-election.
Biden depicts the race as one between an Obama vision that promotes fairness and a Romney ideology that helps the wealthy at the expense of the middle class. It's a strategy that combines an attack on Romney with a sunny appraisal of the country's future under Obama.
"Then there's Romney economics, which says as long as the government helps the guys at the very top do well, workers and small businesses and communities can be left to fend for themselves," Biden says, according to excerpts of his speech released by the campaign.
The speech comes a day after Romney portrayed Obama as an agent of reckless spending who is leading the country toward a threatening debt crisis. And it comes two days after the Obama campaign signaled it would make Romney's tenure at Bain Capital, a private equity firm Romney co-founded, an issue in the campaign.
In a statement Wednesday, the Romney camp argued Romney had a net job creation record both as a businessman and as governor of Massachusetts. It countered the attack on Bain by citing the failure of the solar energy company Solyndra, which received more than $500 million in Obama administration loans.
"President Obama has wasted billions of taxpayer dollars on unsuccessful policies that have not created jobs, burdened future generations with massive debt and resulted in failed investments like Solyndra," Romney spokeswoman Sarah Pompei said.
The back and forth illustrates the power of the economy as the dominant campaign issue this year, leaving voters to decide whether the slow recovery represents a success or a failure
The vice president specifically singles out Romney's time at Bain Capital and the fate of a Kansas City, Mo., steel mill that failed after Bain purchased it 19 years ago.
"Everyone lost their jobs," Biden says.
While the Missouri mill did fail, Romney had left Bain two years before the steel company's bankruptcy in 2001.
In choosing Youngstown for Biden's speech, the Obama campaign picked a symbol of rust belt economic struggles. But as Ohio's unemployment rate has dropped by 3 percentage points in two years, Biden is casting Obama economic policies as a success.
"There are signs of hope in the heartland," he said.

Attempts to form a government in Greece collapsed on Tuesday, worsening fears that leftists opposed to the terms of a European Union bailout could sweep to victory and push the eurozone crisis into a dangerous new phase.?
In Athens, a spokesman for President Karolos Papoulias said his efforts to broker a compromise -- in which a cabinet of technocrats would try to steer the country away from bankruptcy -- had failed, nine days after an inconclusive general election.
A caretaker government will now be formed pending a new vote probably in mid-June.?
"For God's sake, let's move towards something better and not something worse," Socialist leader Evangelos Venizelos told reporters after party leaders met the head of state.
Greece's financial woes have wiped out billions of shares in Europe and highlighted the precarious future of the Eurozone. ITV's Martin Geissler reports.
The turmoil in Athens rattled markets and sent shock?waves around other troubled members of the eurozone, the 17 nations that use the euro currency and the world's largest trading block.?
'Bad news' for U.S.?
And with hostility rising in Greece?to austerity policies imposed by the European Union and International Monetary Fund, speculation?that Greece will?exit the eurozone won't go away.?
"It is quite uncharted territory -- say your prayers," politics professor and associate fellow at British think tank Chatham House Richard Whitman told msnbc.com.?"If the EU is sickly, it's bad news for all its trading partners (such as China and the United States). You can't sort out the world economy without Europe on the mend." ?
Greece abandons quest to form new government
The amount of political energy and effort being spent on sorting out the Greek issue means that policymakers and politicians were simply "muddling through" and not focusing enough attention on the entire trading block's ailing economy, he said. ?
Mark Yockey, Artisan International Fund, shares perspective on where to invest in Europe and what would happen if Greece were to exit the euro zone.
Then there is the question of contagion, experts warn.
"Is it Portugal, Spain or Italy next? And then the euro itself starts to unravel," Whitman said.?
At least 100,000 march in Spain over austerity
Greece's left-wing SYRIZA party, which surged to second place in last week's election on an anti-austerity platform, rejected all compromise with pro-bailout parties, emboldened by opinion polls showing it could top the poll in a second vote.?
The tremors from Greece, compounding worries about Spain's debt-laden banking system, ended any honeymoon for new French President Francois Hollande, thrusting the growing risks to the EU to the top of the agenda for his first meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel hours after he took office.?
Exit Sarkozy, enter Hollande: Socialist sworn in as French president
In his inaugural address, the Socialist president called for a European pact to revive growth and temper German-driven austerity measures, seeking to change the direction of eurozone economic policy.
"I will propose to our partners a pact that will tie the necessary reduction of our public debt to the indispensable stimulation of our economies," Hollande declared, saying Europe needed "projects, solidarity and growth."?

Golf is a great sport and recreation which one can do together with his family. ? I really see my neighbors happy and energetic after they come home from a nice game of golf. After golf, you can see them smiling and beaming at one another. I got really curious when I saw them acting out golf one time holding golf clubs. I guess that the reason why these people are so happy when they golf is the fact that they have a tool that is really unique to gulf. It is really great to hold a club in your hands because you know that great people leaned to play gold and it is good to follow in their footsteps. Golf is definitely one of the best sports that not only promotes discipline but also status symbol and social graces. These clubs can be ordered in your nearest retail store, but I guess it is better if you order it online. Ordering these things online not only saves you the effort but it also helps you save lots of dollars. Most online stores give discounts and free shipping. Not only that, you get the items as fast as two days or less because they ship it to you using very fast methods. My friends also liked ordering online because they get the items lightning fast! I have been an online merchant and buyer starting years ago and I can really attest to the things that they say about ordering and getting the items fast.

"Visually stunning" and "databases" are two words that you may not think of as going together, but FileMaker is changing that. FileMaker Pro 12 ($299 for full version, $179 for upgrade) still has all the ease of database creation for which previous versions were known, to which are added new features and capabilities that make it a tool for creating some truly visually stunning and interactive databases. FileMaker, Inc. is an Apple subsidiary and?lives up to the Apple design aesthetic with eye-popping charts, strong design control, and multimedia file embedding into FileMaker databases. Some users may balk at the fact that any existing databases are converted to FileMaker 12's new format, because any clients that need to connect to an updated database have to be updated as well. ?But most FileMaker devotees will find that the enhancements of the latest version (including the new?design tools for creating apps for Apple mobile devices)?make it worth upgrading all of their systems to version 12.
Install and Setup
Installation is no different from the procedures in FileMaker Pro 11 . FileMaker Pro 12 ?can be installed on Windows XP SP3, Vista SP2, Windows 7, and Mac OS X v10.6 and up. There's also a Pro 12 Advanced version which extends customization features, such as creating custom menus and functions, script debugging, multiple table importing, and more.
Installation options include multi-language support for English, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, and Swedish. Once installed, FileMaker Pro supports up to 9 users sharing a database.
On first opening FileMaker, users will see a "Quick Start" window. This window features wizards for creating a new database, converting an existing FileMaker database or other file type such as an Excel or .CSV file, selecting a pre-designed template?called "starter solutions"?or accessing tutorial documents and videos.
There are starter solutions for just about any small business or personal database need. Templates exist for tracking assets, contact management, event management, invoicing, time billing, and more.
New Features
Themes
FileMaker Pro 12 introduces 40 new layout themes and they are gorgeous. Many of them have sophisticated shading and 3D effects and really enhance a database application. There are even themes tailored just for touch devices.
Templates and Container Fields
I selected the Assets starter solution?a simple, nicely-designed database application. The prefab form makes it simple for end users to jump in and get working, and the template could likely be used as is by those needing asset management. In the data entry form, I tested one of the new capabilities in FilerMaker Pro 12, dragging and dropping an image and video into a pre-defined container field. This capability makes it very easy to add multimedia into a database. One caution: when I tried to drag and drop a large file about 1.5 GB in size?into the field, FileMaker crashed. Some pop-ups or warnings about files that may be too large would make this feature more efficient.
What's cool about these enhanced container fields is that they can hold images or be configured?as interactive to hold hi-def video that?gets streamed from the database or to add a PDF file that a user can scroll through in the database app.

Charting
Creating charts has vastly improved in FileMaker Pro 12 over version 11, thanks to the Quick Charts feature. In addition, there are five new chart styles: Bubble, Scatter, Positive/negative, Stacked bar, and Stacked column.
Making a chart is simple, even easier than in Excel. I added some data to my app and changed into tabular view. I then selected the columns I wanted to include in the chart. Since it's an Assets database, I wanted to make a "Cost by Item" graph so those are the columns I selected. I then right-clicked and had the option to create the chart. A neat, perfectly-formatted bar chart popped up on screen.
You can change the chart style by applying the same themes as you can apply to the entire database or form. I jazzed up my chart by changing the bars with a shaded 3D effect. FileMaker allows you to print the chart or to save at as a layout. Once you save as a layout, you can copy and paste the chart into other applications such as Word or PowerPoint. I was looking for a way to save the chart as an image file, which would be handy for embedding into an external document for later use, but FileMaker folks confirmed that you can only save as a layout. In any case, FileMaker users will be pleased about the advances in charting.
Designed for iOS
Keeping in step with the transition from a desktop to mobile computing word (and particularly with the frenzy for Apple mobile devices) FileMaker Pro 12 allows database designers to use layouts customized for iPads and iPhones. Users can preview how a database designed for an Apple mobile device will look in a Preview screen. Filemaker has been optimized in version 12 for creating apps for the iPad and iPhone.
The location-based functionality in these mobile devices can be integrated into FileMaker databases for tracking and projects.
Other New Tweaks
FileMaker Pro 12 offers plenty of granular formatting options. For instance, a button on a form can be configured to change color after a user enters data. I like how you can easily customize buttons in ways like making them mouse "hover" objects. Other design capabilities include gradients, image slicing, and borders.
A new accessibility inspector associates labels and fields so that visually impaired users can use assistive technology, which will read aloud form fields.
Of course, advanced capabilities such as scripting and creating reports are still in FileMaker. New script steps have been added, "Find Matching Records," "Insert Audio/Video," "Insert from URL," "Insert PDF," "Open Managed Container," and "Sort Records by Field."
Users also can connect external databases via ODBC and JDBC connections. Databases can be published to the Web, and FileMaker Server adds even more functionality for larger organizations such as 64-bit capability, improved WAN performance, backup, and more. ?Larger organizations can connect FileMaker to Windows Active Directory, but doing so requires FileMaker Server.
Can't be Beat for Apple and Lighter Database Needs
FileMaker Pro 12 is the database solution for Apple users (and it's great for Windows users, too). It's ideal for those with little database experience and who only need a smaller database solution. You wouldn't use it to run a high-transaction financial or business solution; Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle are the powerhouses for heavier database needs. ?
You would be hard-pressed to find another database product that is so polished, eye-catching and fun to use. FileMaker also works seamlessly across mobile devices. Although users can't leverage the new capabilities of FileMaker Pro 12 without upgrading all connecting client devices to version 12, and it's not a database option for larger organizations, it's a well-engineered database solution that gets more advanced with each new version. FileMaker Pro 12 is an Editors' Choice pick and a sure-fire solution for small-business databases.

Britain's world number four Andy Murray celebrated his 25th birthday here on Tuesday with a hard fought 6-1, 4-6, 7-5 victory over veteran Argentinian David Nalbandian to reach the third round of the Rome Masters.
The day session match which ended well into the intended start of night play for top-seeded holder Novak Djokovic, was a struggle for survival on the clay between the pair, with Murray recovering from a break down in the third.
Murray, seeded four and a semi-finalist here last year, frequently hung his head to catch his breath after monster points and could be seen gripping at his lower back at the end of rallies.
It took 2 hrs, 37 min for the Scot to prevail, managing 29 winners and converting eight of his 18 break point chances - and he barely looked as if he had the energy to eat a slice of the birthday cake that was brought onto court.
The match was the first for the pair on clay and left 2004 finalist Nalbandian disappointed after Murray edged a torrid final set to advance on his first match point.
Murray, who stands 5-2 in their head to head series, won his first match since losing in the quarter-finals in Barcelona to Milos Raonic and then skipping last week's Madrid event with back pain.
"I'm very happy to win, considering how the last few weeks have gone," said Murray.
"When you haven't hit that much, it's not so comfortable. Hopefully I can go on from here."
Djokovic didn't seem at all disturbed by the delay and breezed through to the third round with a 6-3, 6-3 masterclass dished out to young Australian Bernard Tomic.
Madrid champion Roger Federer will take to the court on Wednesday to open against Argentine Carlos Berlocq.
The world number two had been unsure of his physical status and had waited until the last minute to decide if he could compete this week with only days to go before the French Open gets underway on May 27.
Rome is one of the few big events the Swiss has not won after losing two finals.
In other second-round matches, Spaniard David Ferrer, the sixth seed beat Fernando Verdasco 6-3, 7-6 (7/3) while Spanish veteran Juan Carlos Ferrero upset 13th seeded Frenchman Gael Monfils 7-5, 6-3.
In the first round, tenth seed Juan Martin del Potro overcame French doubles specialist Michael Llodra 7-5, 3-6, 6-4 while the latter's compatriot Gilles Simon and 11th seed beat American Donald Young 6-2, 7-5.
Juan Monaco, the Argentine 14th seed, won as did 16th-seeded Frenchman Richard Gasquet, who beat Jurgen Melzer 6-1, 7-6 (8/6).
Past and present Wimbledon champions Maria Sharapova and Czech Petra Kvitova reached the third round with straight sets victories, though the Russian second seed was made to work hard.
Defending Rome champion Sharapova, who won her Wimbledon title aged 17 in 2004, needed nearly two and a quarter hours to get past 36th-ranked American Christina McHale 7-5, 7-5.
Kvitova, the fourth seed, accounted for Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 7-5, 6-4 in sunny, breezy conditions.
In the first round, two seeds went out as Sorana Cirstea of Romania upset former number one, 2007-2008 winner and 15th seed Jelena Jankovic 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 (7/4).
Italy's Flavia Pennetta, whose 2006 quarter-final was her best showing at home, beat Russian 16th seed Maria Kirilenko 6-1, 7-6 (7/2).
Serena Williams, winner in Madrid, started with a defeat of Galina Voskoboeva 6-2, 6-3.
