Navigation THE STORY ARCHIVE WHAT IS THIS?
Work was all that Carter had now. He had come to terms with that fact a long time ago, and, at this point in his long life, thoughts of burned bridges, lost loves, and broken connections seldom crossed his mind.
Maybe that was it, he thought, as he watched the dig team begin the careful process of excavating the collapsed cave entrance in the morning glow.
He had shoved those things, those relationships, and all their burdens of pain and loss that came with them deep down and out of his mind. It was necessary. He had to focus. There was so much to do. So much to explore. So much to discover.
And how could you do all that burdened by guilt? By sorrow? By regret? It wasn't possible.
So sacrifices had to be made. And it wasn't easy. He had tried to have it all for so long. But it wasn't sustainable. For anyone. The missed birthdays and anniversaries piled up. The trips home dwindled. The daily comms became weekly. Then monthly. It was a mess.
At least that's what he had always told himself. And there was always another dig, another discovery to get lost in, and the more he dug in the dirt, uncovering the secrets of alien life long past, the more he covered up his personal one, leaving it behind for the others to sift through the pieces.
But now, after all these years, he could no longer ignore his past. His decisions. His mistakes.
It was past noon by the time they had broken through the collapsed entrance and were able to push further into the cave. That feeling, that rush of discovery had never left him. Perhaps that was what kept him going. How could he get old if the feeling that drove him never did?
Their scans revealed three separate paths. The first, a shallow, squat path narrowing into virtually nothing. The second, a steeply descending tube cutting far into the mesa. And, the third, a short yet rocky passage leading to a small chamber.
Carter searched for any inlaid metaphors the paths presented but came up short and pushed it from his mind, as they entered the third passageway.
For years he assumed that destiny was done calling his name. It had once before, and it was a big one. The ultimate call to adventure. The most important discovery in human history. And, even as public interest waned and government attempts to contact the stars marked in the Cretan ruins failed, he still powered on. Moved forward. It was important work.
And after all these years, the Adarai, the mind-boggling interconnectedness of it all, after everything, destiny had again pulled him into its grasp.
"No large formations or indications of foreign objects from the sensors," Cordts said, analyzing the projection emanating from the tablet in his hands.
Carter nodded to him in the glowing orange light flickering from the flames that hovered in the palms of the three Salii warriors the Adarai had assigned to the team. It wasn't entirely uncommon to have a Salii or two on a more precarious dig, though Carter couldn't remember the last time it had happened. But, due to the violent and potentially dangerous nature of what the young sage had seen, it only made sense to have them join the company.
As they neared the chamber, the smell of scorched metal filled the thick air. Again, memories from his childhood filled his mind. Metallic corpses blackened by fire laying among the rubble. Downed transport ships burning like fireflies at dusk.
There was no more running now, here at the end of the road, he told himself, as the Salii entered the chamber, telling the team to hold, while they examined the area. A young man's mistakes come back to confront the old man he had become. What did he expect, he wondered, as he stepped over the rocky floor, examining marks of scorched black on the shallow chamber walls.
As he knelt down over the meter-wide crater nested in the center of the rocky floor of the chamber, something pulled at him. A feeling at the pit of his stomach. That reflected the very cave they were in.
Carter Redrick felt empty for the first time in his life.

This chair was constructed with a technique called Stack Lamination. With this technique you glue pieces of wood together to form the basic shape then using planners, gouges, routers, grinders and finish sanders you remove the wood you don't want and hopefully end up with something desired. This is a very labor and material intensive process and with todays price of lumber somewhat cost prohibitive.

Stewardship and the Culture War
This is part 1 of 2 by guest blogger and Pathways for STEM Education Conference presenter, Tip Hudson. Tip is a Regional Rangeland & Livestock Extension Specialist with WSU Extension in Ellensburg, WA. His specialties are: Rangeland ecology, livestock production, plant community monitoring, irrigated pasture management, water quality. The views expressed in the article are his and do not necessarily represent those of Washington State University.—
Christians of all times and places have been called to culture war, but the way humans interact with our world is one of the flashpoints in the modern conflict; like a military war, the conflict has philosophical, social, and scientific dimensions. A primary evolutionary assumption and doctrinal position within philosophical materialism is that man is not above the rest of creation but is "plain member and citizen of it", to quote Aldo Leopold, considered one of the fathers of modern conservation.
Man is just another organism
The implications of this are massive and have resulted in mass cultural confusion. If we have no more intrinsic worth than animals we are either justified in treating humans like animals or we have a responsibility to treat animals like our conscience ordinarily tells us we are to treat humans.
We restrict slaughtering horses for food, presumably because they're considered a companion animal, but who's to say? Why should that ideology be imposed on someone who wants to eat horse meat? What do you have against the French? We flirt with giving Nature standing to sue. We argue that peas are sentient beings and maybe they should have rights, too. We have scientists advocating for the adoption of an "ecological ethic" in which decisions are made about who lives and who dies based on carrying capacity, even praising China's one-child policy as a solution to the pseudo-dilemma of overpopulation.
But in an ultimate irony, someone has to play God and determine that carrying capacity and how best to stay under it. We empower social workers to imprison mothers and confiscate children for a dirty house out of concern for the rights of the child while we kill millions of unborn babies every year and marginalize any who would restrict this "right".
Bioethics in a godless world?
Peter Singer, Decamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University, has been awarded Australia's highest civic honor, Companion in the General Division of the Order of Australia, "for eminent service to philosophy and bioethics as a leader of public debate and communicator of ideas in the areas of global poverty, animal welfare and the human condition." Singer has argued from his ivory tower that parents should be free to euthanize their children up to about 9 years of age, to allow enough time for a determination of whether that child will be a productive member of the world community. He also supports bestiality, and why not? It is entirely consistent with his worldview.
Western culture is adrift in meaninglessness, and suicide rates for all age classes are high and increasing. Euthanasia in Europe has exploded and professors there believe the right to die should be extended down to the age of 12 or below without parental notification. This culture war is deadly serious. "What is the nature of man?" is an ancient question that remains valid in the 7th millenium.
Is Christianity to blame for Environmental Exploitation?
The nature and role of man relative to natural resources is equally contentious. Christians are often credited with being the originators of a faulty worldview which promotes environmental exploitation, if not destruction. The first modern published articulation of this idea was by Dr. Lynn White in a journal article in Science in 1967 titled: "The Historical Roots of Our Ecological Crisis". In it, Dr. White claims that the Judeo-Christian view of nature is that nature exists to serve mankind, that this promotes an arrogance toward nature which results in exploitation, and that because the Christian worldview is largely responsible for the underpinnings of modern science and technology Christianity is therefore responsible for all misuse and abuse of nature.
Wormwood would be proud. This is a skillful twist. Man was created to glorify the Creator. Man was tasked with tending the Garden. God gave to man the fruits of the earth to sustain him and frustrated the cultivation and collection of that fruit post-Fall. We do not always exercise dominion faithfully and selflessly. White was right when she said that the Christian worldview is responsible for the underpinnings of science. Jonathan Witt, in "The Icon of Materialism — Why Scientism's Cherished Progress Narrative Fails" (March 2015 issue of Touchstone magazine, http://www.touchstonemag.com/) points out that "it is now well-established among historians of science that modern science is largely a Christian invention, and one substantially based on theological ideas."
Cosmos not Chaos
Chief among those theological ideas is the "belief that nature is the rational and orderly work of a divine mind" and can therefore be studied and tested. We can expect repeatability, one of the tenets of the scientific method, precisely because the universe is ordered and predictable. Humans, generally, must own our abuse of the Creation. Christian theology need not be blamed when orthopraxy doesn't follow orthodoxy, i.e., isn't ortho ('right' or 'correct'). We need a biblical stewardship ethic which will glorify our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, result in human flourishing, guide Creation care, and help us navigate the challenges of the 21st century. More on that later.
Read Part 2: You will know them by their . . . stewardship
To hear Tip's conference presentation register to attend our upcoming Pathways for STEM Education Conference.
Tip says about his work, "I am convinced that range- and pasture-based livestock production is the most sustainable form of agriculture and that our culture has a responsibility to pursue means of food production that sustain natural plant communities and soils which also produce many less tangible ecosystem goods and services; I work to help meat & fiber producers improve their ability to achieve the triple bottom line: economic, environmental, and social sustainability."

Have you tried halibut cheeks?
If you love seafood, it's a must. These medallions are mild, meaty, a little sweet, and absolutely delicious. I picked up pound of cheeks over the weekend from the Little Fish Company — find them Sundays mornings at the farmers market on 8th and W.
After rinsing the cheeks off and patting them dry, I heated a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan. Each cheek got just a dash of garlic salt and lemon pepper before I put them in the pan, cooking the cheeks for only 30 seconds on each side before removing from the pan. You have to be careful not to overcook the cheeks or they become stringy. We enjoyed the halibut cheeks with this Fettuccine Alfredo (the second Runner's World recipe I've recently prepared).
Here's another recipe inspired by "On Rice," the cookbook I mentioned in my previous post.
I took the author's cream sauce recipe and lightened it up, swapping out heavy cream for milk and fat-free sour cream, which I think gave the meal a tangy, sort-of-stroganoff kind of taste. Something I might try the next time around is using only half a cup of wine, and adding ½ cup chicken broth.
Combine flour, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper in medium bowl. Toss turkey in the flour, shaking off excess. Heat oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet. Add turkey to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is lightly browned, about 5 or 6 minutes. Transfer turkey to a plate; set aside.
Melt butter in skillet. Add shallots, cooking and stirring often until softened, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms, lemon juice and thyme, stirring well. Cover and cook until mushrooms give off their juices, about 3 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to high and cook an additional 2-3 minutes, until mushroom liquid evaporates.
Pour wine into skillet and boil for a couple minutes. Add milk and cook for 7-8 minutes, until liquid has reduced slightly. Bring heat back to medium and stir in sour cream. Return turkey to the skillet and cook until sauce is slightly thickened, just a minute or two. Season with salt and pepper, and serve over steamed rice.
Chris and I are trying to mix up our carbs a bit so we're not shoveling spaghetti into our mouths all the time.
This recipe is adapted from one found in of my oldest cookbooks, "On Rice" by Rick Rogers. I bought it, used at a bookstore in downtown Chico, when I was in college. Although I've had this book for many years, I haven't started cooking with it until recently. I used less oil and broth than the original recipe called for, doubled the garlic, amped up the dried oregano, used smoked paprika (the recipe called for Hungarian paprika) and added some diced stewed tomatoes.
Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick frying pan. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add onion, red pepper, garlic, oregano and bay leaf. Cover and cook until the vegetables soften, about 4 minutes. Stir in broth, peas, tomatoes and paprika and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer for a couple minutes, until ingredients are heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Remove bay leaf. Serve over rice.
Our friend Lisa recently had a party and served a really chunky, packed-full-of-goodies chili.
She was kind enough to share the recipe, which I tweaked based on what sounded good and what I had in the pantry.
Brown turkey until just slightly pink in a large soup pot. Add onion, garlic, celery and oregano and finish cooking the meat. Pour contents of cans, without draining any of them, into pot. Add taco seasoning and dressing mix. Allow to simmer, covered, at least 30 minutes, before serving.
Runner's World has a feature, The Athlete's Palate, which I quite enjoy.
Each month you get a different recipe from a cookbook authors and chefs who just happen to also be runners, triathletes and the like.
I recently made a soup with all kinds of goodies — diced ham, cannellini beans, chopped cabbage — based on a recipe ripped out of a back issue. I used less cabbage, added dried oregano (I love it in practically any dish) and used turkey ham because of my aversion to most pork products. Also, I used baby carrots where the recipe called for large carrots just because of what was already in the fridge.
The soup was quite hearty, and was speedy enough for a weeknight meal.
Heat oil over medium-high in soup pot. Add onion and sauté until soft and golden, roughly five minutes. Add Italian seasoning and oregano and stir until fragrant, about a minute. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover pot and simmer until vegetables are cooked, 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.

Connecting the dots: 6 must-know consumer trends for 2022
Chase Buckle
It's the not knowing that gets you.
Coming out of the pandemic – or not, as the case may be – means we're all in uncharted territory.
In a year of huge change, uncertainty is everywhere.
The challenge facing most brands is how on earth to make sense of the situation. Where can they turn to understand the changes that have been happening, and where consumer trends will go next?
Because whoever reads the signs correctly will have a huge head start on their competition.
That's where our Connecting the dots 2022 report comes in. We've taken the temperature of consumer sentiment around the world, and presented the results in the most accessible format we've ever offered.
We've decided to use our freely-available Zeitgeist data in much of the report. That means anyone – client or otherwise – can freely explore the data for themselves on our platform.
For any future-focused business, this is essential reading (or indeed viewing, because we're offering all content in video form this year as well).
This blog takes a quick tour through the six uber-trends we think will really shape consumer behavior in the year ahead.
How the pandemic changed consumers' approach to life
For better or for worse, the pandemic prompted us to hit the reset button in many different parts of our lives. It acted as a catalyst not only for business and digital innovation but somewhere in the background it spurred a form of personal innovation too.
At one point all we had was time to reflect and reassess our priorities and find out what ultimately makes us happy. What we're seeing today are seismic changes in the collective mindset.
We've seen U.S. consumers in the past year feeling bolder, more adventurous, and empowered. They don't feel the need to be quite so careful and responsible, especially with finances – with a 55% increase in consumers saying they feel more optimistic about their personal finances.
One way for brands to stand out in 2022 is to make sure their tone matches this YOLO mood. Campaigns that encourage people to be bold and pursue what makes them truly happy are likely to strike the biggest chord.
We're also seeing this mentality in practice in the workplace where the majority of people looking for jobs are actually pretty satisfied with their current roles. These professionals are willing to sacrifice stability just to fulfil their desire for something new and exciting.
How media preferences are changing
"Time's precious." We hear that constantly.
It's the job of media brands to occupy as much of our day as they can. And that 24-hour window is becoming a pretty fierce battleground.
In 2022, vaccine rollout will continue driving a slow return to some sort of normality, making that competition even fiercer in what some are labeling an "attention recession".
By some measures the attention recession is already here. Virtually all media activity spiked during widespread lockdowns, then died back. Now, we're in a kind of interim period where it's not immediately clear if activity will return to its previous levels, or reach new heights.
There will be winners and losers in this battle.
We can find the winners by looking beyond simple "time spent" metrics and uncovering the deeper motivations behind consumers' engagement with different media formats, and how these motivations might be changing.
We suggest three key principles to help media brands retain or win back customers in this attention recession:
Focus on distinctive assets, and become more than just another timesink.
Add value to someone's life beyond just capturing their attention
Provide escapism as the world transitions from a pandemic to an endemic
The new looks in personal care and what it means for marketing
Lockdown was a chance to experiment. Without the steady hands of a professional, consumers' beauty regimes were left up to them.
This doesn't mean people became beauticians overnight (one look at #lockdownhaircuts will tell you that) but it was an opportunity to learn something new. For some, this was a long time coming – beauty/cosmetics is now the fastest-growing interest among male consumers worldwide.
However, despite new beauty audiences being brought into the spotlight, purchase behaviors failed to match their level of interest. The onus is now on marketers to change this by reaching new audiences and adapting strategies to meet their needs.
Figures among heterosexual males and LGBTIQA+ consumers still continue to pip their pre-pandemic beauty interest/purchase figures, but growth is slowing and, without intervention, will decline.
It's much the same story for people of color, with figures for beauty interest and purchases falling by 15% and 13%, respectively since 2018 – the majority of which occurred shortly after the pandemic began.
Brands urgently need to make the most of this waning enthusiasm with product variations that prevent this trend dropping off.
The number of consumers who say beauty standards are changing for the better stands at 19%, and brands can help to raise this by listening to what consumers want and adapting their messaging to ensure beauty standards are truly inclusive.
Exploring the uncertain future of crypto
The last 18 months have transformed cryptocurrency. Its growth has been faster than ever, yet its future has never been so unclear.
With the influx of new investors, the profile of crypto investors has changed.
Their collective purchasing power ended up creating a whole new category of meme stocks with sky-high prices. Because of them, crypto has moved from the fringe of finance to being a household word.
But crypto can't seem to escape a series of paradoxes. The average crypto investor believes in regulation, yet is worried about many of the impacts that regulation will bring. They support the environment, but throw money at digital currencies consuming the same amount of electricity as a small nation.
Digging into these is key to understanding consumer sentiment and predicting consumer behavior around the opaque topic of crypto.
The only thing certain is that the market in 5 years' time will be just as unrecognizable to us now as it was 5 years ago.
While crypto's fate will be shaped by regulators, it can also be influenced by brands, many of which are jumping into the market to fill the needs of the growing marketplace that governments have so far ignored. This could mean facilitating trades in a more comfortable, safe environment to reassure "newbies," or offering education and resources for curious intenders.
How consumers are sharing the whole picture on social media
For some time now, we've heard that consumers are increasingly fed up with the manufactured images they see everywhere online. But while words like "end" and "death" do tend to exaggerate reality, this might be the closest we've ever come to closing the chapter on online perfection. Interestingly, influencers are both the drivers and victims of this trend.
Gen Zs are powerful trendsetters in the world of social media and often offer glimpses into where global consumer sentiment is headed.
According to our GWI USA research, they're less interested in influencers and celebrity news compared to last year.
They're also less likely to want their lifestyle to impress others, and more likely to think it's ok for people to speak up when they're struggling.
If that's not convincing enough, new social media movements and layouts like the "photo-dump" offer more evidence; this format involves grouping random photos together in a post without the usual carefully thought-through curation. Similarly, Cluttercore is a craze that celebrates mess by encouraging people to share their lived-in interiors, which tend to be full of meaningful, mismatched stuff.
While there's still demand for inspirational images, some consumers want content to support people and better reflect the reality of post-lockdown life. Luxury or fashion brands that traditionally rely on glamor shots might drive growth by adding some eccentricity to their marketing.
Whether that's in the form of raw, messy images or self-deprecating memes, the up-and-coming vibe is characterized by light-heartedness and impulsive creativity.
Investing in these qualities, both from a brand and influencer marketing perspective, will help players adapt in an online social climate where many want to see the world as it truly is, in all its tainted glory.
How consumers are taking control of their wellbeing
It's impossible to go through a pandemic and not think about wellbeing differently in some way.
As a result, there's been a step-change in how many consumers think about their health and how they manage it.
Two-thirds of consumers say they're more conscious about looking after their physical and mental health than before the pandemic.
There's a shift in mindset from "What do I do when I get sick?" to "How can I prevent illness and stay healthy?".
In parallel, the fact that COVID impacted every area of our lives means it's no surprise that we're seeing reported wellbeing decline more broadly.
Our GWI USA dataset details how several chronic conditions like anxiety, stress, and back or muscle pain have risen since Q2 2020, hinting at the longer-term impact of COVID-19 on complex conditions. At the same time, we've seen declines in the portion of consumers who say they rarely feel unwell.
Moving forward, we need to reframe the narrative around wellbeing.
For employers, recognizing that more people will face mental health issues and putting practical steps in place to support them is a must.
For consumer health companies, supporting people on their self-care journey is equally important. Collectively, we can move from a culture of addressing health problems when they arise, to taking proactive measures to reduce or stop them from happening in the first place.
We told you there's a lot to unpack.

Q: ASP.NET - Detect if user is authenticated with Active Directory? We have a SSO solution with ADFS for logging into our web app, we also have standard setup that uses authentication with our database. I want to setup a solution that allows for both. So now I am trying to figure out, is there any way for ASP.NET to detect if a user is authenticated with Active Directory so I could do this on the fly? If user is logged in through AD, send through ADFS, else, show login screen. Any idea?
I also realize that this may not work if they are setup to use forms based authentication only after the ADFS process is started.

A: Yes... In IIS, enable both integrated authentication, basic, and anonymous. All the real work is done in HTTPModule that are registered in the root Web.config (e.g. in the runtime CONFIG folder). The built-in Authentication HTTPModule will set the user Principle once authenticated if authenticated via integrated credentials. You can add your own to be fired after it. If the IIdentity (e.g. User.Identity) has the IsAuthenticated set to false then you know they were not authenticated and can then redirect them. If it is set to true, you can then replace the IPrinciple with one that contains roles that are germane to your application.

THE UNSLAIN releases new single'(In) Hell I Am'
Dutch Modern Old-School Metal band THE UNSLAIN releases new single + music video "(In) Hell I Am" | Watch Here
The promising Dutch metal band THE UNSLAIN is back! With their brand new single '(In Hell I Am)', the four-piece showcases their ability to combine the finest of the classic 80' Heavy Metal with nowadays Modern Metal creating a crushing new sound they'd like to call Modern Old-School Metal.
The Unslain is:
Jeroen Hermsen (Guitar & lead vocals)
Bart Foppes (Guitar & screams)
Luc Builtjes (Bass)
Indy Wessels (Drums)
(In) Hell I Am
Through the storms of the heart
Dutch metal band The Unslain reflects on the pains of a broken heart in their new song "(In) Hell I Am". Showcasing their old school metal influences in a modern way, the song's heavy riffs and catchy melodies remind of the sounds of Metallica and Iron Maiden.
Speaking on the song, the band members describe a clear picture on the emotional difficulties it portrays, "The misery you feel within yourself during a heartbreak. All the questions, the uncertainty". The song's lyrics, inspired by real-life events, reflect on the aftermath of a breakup, "You can feel like you're in Hell but sometimes to others you are the Hell. That's why the title is '(In) Hell I Am'".
Recorded in August 2020 in the Hillroad Records studio in The Netherlands, the band enlisted the help of producer Daan Nieboer and featured singer Tracy Tchai, who the band praised, "she is an amazing vocalist with a really soulful voice".
The Unslain debuted with the LP "We Will Battle" in 2018, in 2019 they earned the audience prize in the Dutch Wacken metal battle contest, they also released various singles in 2020 and 2022.
In 2022 they signed with Rexius Records. And now the first new single comes out: "(In) Hell I Am".
Music by Jeroen Hermsen
Lyrics by Indy Wessels, Jeroen Hermsen
Featuring artist: Tracy Tchai
Produced, mixed and mastered by Daan Nieboer from Cornerstone Audio
Recorded at Hillroad Records studio (Luttenberg, NL)
Artwork by Daan Nieboer
Released by Rexius Records
Modern old-school metal
Dutch metal band The Unslain creates an amalgam of sounds that connects classic heavy metal with more modern metal and metalcore sounds. With a broad range of influences that go from Metallica, Megadeth and Iron Maiden to newer sounds like Bullet For My Valentine, Trivium and Lamb of God, their eclecticism provides a great new perspective of the past.
"We like to talk about the darker sides of society", confess the band members, reflecting on the variety of their lyrics. Exploring topics such as misery, depression, drug abuse, war and the human mind, the band goes into a great degree of detail about the dark night of the soul, the more troubling sides of humanity.
Their 2018 LP debut "We Will Battle", displayed their more classic sound. "When we released our first album, we sat down and took a look at The Unslain and what direction we wanted to go. That's when this idea of Modern Old School Metal was born". This signified a turning point in their style.
After "We Will Battle", The Unslain earned the audience prize in the Dutch Wacken metal battle contest in 2019, they also released various singles in 2020 and 2022. In 2022 they signed with Rexius Records, continuing their creative path.

A campaign by the Norwegian Seafarers Union (NSU) has secured the jobs, wages and conditions of 700 Norwegian seafarers working on Color Line vessels. The company had proposed reflagging its vessels under the Norwegian register to allow it to replace Norwegian seafarers with cheaper foreign labour – a move that the Norwegian government refused to allow.
Johnny Hansen, NSU president, said that the victory was possible "because of the solidarity from the labour movement and the ITF family", and pressure from the international trade union movement.

Royals score 3 in ninth in 7-6 comeback win over Nationals
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) It was hard to tell who'd been slumping more lately: Lorenzo Cain or the Kansas City Royals.
With one swing of the bat, Cain may have gotten both of them on track.
The All-Star outfielder capped a three-run ninth inning with a two-out single to left Tuesday night, bringing home Mike Moustakas and giving the Royals a 7-6 victory over the Washington Nationals.
''I've definitely been struggling - bad. But hopefully that helps turn things around,'' Cain said. ''We've played in a lot of games like that, a lot of comebacks we managed to win.''
Tanner Roark lasted into the eighth inning for Washington, but he was relieved by Felipe Rivero with runners on the corners and one out. Eric Hosmer grounded into a fielder's choice to make it 6-4, but Rivero got through the rest of the inning to turn the lead over to Jonathan Papelbon.
The veteran closer served up back-to-back singles to start the ninth. Papelbon (1-1) struck out Omar Infante, but Moustakas came on to pinch hit and guided a single through the left side to knot it 6-all.
Alcides Escobar kept the line moving with a single to center, and Cain fell behind 0-2 before ripping a liner into the gap in left-center to keep the Royals from losing for the seventh time in eight games.
''These guys are tough to put away. They don't strike out much,'' Papelbon said. ''They pride themselves on not striking out. They use their speed and they took that game from us.''
Chien-Ming Wang (1-0) earned the win with a scoreless ninth inning.
''Those are the kinds of wins that help you get going. It's been a rough week for us,'' Royals manager Ned Yost said. ''These guys have the character that they'll keep fighting.''
Anthony Rendon and Daniel Murphy hit early homers, and Jayson Werth hit one late for Washington. The Nationals coaxed across three runs in the sixth inning, giving them what looked like an insurmountable lead against the sluggish Kansas City offense.
Luke Hochevar allowed those three runs in his only inning of work, the reliever following another subpar outing by Chris Young. He lasted 4 2/3 innings to put a massive burden on his bullpen.
After falling behind on Rendon's homer in the first, the Royals answered with three runs in the third inning. Escobar tied the game with his RBI single, and hot-hitting Hosmer's two-out, two-run jab through the right side of the infield gave Kansas City a 3-1 lead.
Murphy went deep in the fourth inning before Washington continued its rally in the sixth, but the Royals hung around long enough to deliver their second walk-off win of the season.
The result? Two clubs on wildly different trajectories changed directions.
The Nationals began their 10-game road trip with a three-game sweep in St. Louis, and were an inning away from being perfect at the midway point. Meanwhile, the Royals (14-12) avoided dropping back to .500 after a hot start to the defense of their World Series championship.
''I don't know what to say,'' Nationals manager Dusty Baker said. ''Tanner pitched a great game. We got some hitting, some home runs. Their speed got us. That's what they do. That's what they do in this ballpark. They certainly know how to come back. I've seen them come back many, many times. Boy, that's real tough.''
NATIONALS VISIT HALL
Several members of the Nationals, including NL MVP Bryce Harper, spent the morning visiting the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. Harper called it ''an honor and pleasure'' to visit the museum and its president, Bob Kendrick. The museum is a popular spot for visiting teams to spend time in Kansas City.
HARPER INKS WITH UA
Under Armour announced Tuesday that Harper had signed a multiyear extension with the company, likely one of the largest endorsement deals in the majors. Harper has endorsed the brand the last five years. His new line of baseball cleats, ''Harper One,'' will be available in July.
Moustakas got the night off from the field after aggravating a thumb injury in Seattle over the weekend. ''It blew up in Seattle,'' manager Ned Yost said. ''It's just a day-by-day thing. We'll see how he feels tomorrow. Yesterday it was really swollen.''
The series concludes Wednesday when Nationals RHP Stephen Strasburg, 4-0 for the first time in his career, takes on Royals RHP Kris Medlen. The afternoon game is ''School Day at the K.''

The Parent Plus program allows parents to take out essentially uncapped amounts to cover college costs, regardless of the borrower's income or ability to repay the loan. But default rates, while still modest, have nearly tripled over the last four years.
Explaining what it takes to develop college-ready students and debt-free parents, columnist and Matanzas High teacher Jo An n Nahiriny describes the frustrations of dealing with students and families who don't plan ahead and busts the myth that a college education must be debt-ridden.
The most sweeping decision, rejected 3-2, came on a proposal by eight universities to increase the "capital improvement trust fund" fees, or CITF fees, which pay for construction projects approved by university panels that draw at least half their members from the student body.
Student fees have been something of a known irritant for years, often criticized as a kind of stealth, second tuition imposed on unsuspecting families. But such fees are still on the rise on many campuses. There's nothing funny about how they can add up.
Florida's quest for more science, technology, engineering and mathematics degrees might eventually lead to a quest for higher tuition for students entering those programs, based on comments by higher education leaders.
Between Florida public universities' tuition increasing almost 140 percent in 10 years and Bright Futures scholarship losing half their value, the state is betraying its future while pandering to older, more selfish voters.
