Wood Cuts - December 2011
By Michael Martin
Anyone working in the flooring industry who thinks their voice has no impact in Washington, D.C. needs to think again. Through numerous national organizations, the interests of flooring professionals are being addressed with our nation's policy makers to make sure that the industry is well represented when new laws and policies are being introduced and enacted. Two of the most important legislative acts affecting the flooring industry at present are the Lacey Act and the International Trade Commission's (ITC) ruling on hardwood dumping. The goal of the Lacey Act is to promote responsible procurement of hardwoods and to eliminate illegal logging of exotic species, while the ITC rules seek to level the playing field for domestically made flooring by imposing tariffs on imports that are sold at "dumping" price levels. These rulings, and others, have a significant impact on the flooring industry.
The Hardwood Federation is the largest Washington, D.C.-based hardwood industry trade association, representing thousands of hardwood businesses in every state. It is an umbrella organization representing the majority of trade associations engaged in manufacturing, wholesaling, or distributing North American hardwood lumber, veneer, plywood, flooring and related products.
Just this past October, as a member of the Hardwood Federation, the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) participated in The Hardwood Federation's annual Fly-In to Washington, D.C. The group met with more than 40 members of Congress to discuss issues affecting the hardwood industry, including economic recovery and taxation, trade issues, hardwood product advocacy, green building, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Boiler MACT and biomass energy policy, federal forest management, renewable energy, illegal logging, the Farm Bill, and the NWFA's Responsible Procurement Program.
Economic recovery and taxation issues are of immediate concern to the industry as it continues to struggle in the sluggish economy. With housing starts still at record lows, the group is seeking Congressional action on economic recovery initiatives aimed at restarting the housing industry and on the unique challenges facing United States hardwood small businesses.
Responsibly managing federal forests is a major legislative initiative. Engaging Congress and the Administration in focusing United States Forest Service resources on policies that will restore federal forests to exemplary levels of health and productivity is a priority in our industry. To accomplish this, the Hardwood Federation helped to provide testimony before the House Agriculture Forestry Committee and helped highlight the lack of sound management and access to federal timber resources.
Illegal logging continues to be a hot industry issue that has received national attention in recent months with the raids by armed federal agents on the Gibson Guitar Corporation. For many decades, Gibson has imported ebony, rosewood and other rare wood species to make its famed guitars for heavy-hitters in the music industry. But this past August, a second search warrant was executed at two Gibson plants, resulting in the closure of the plants and the seizure of several pallets of wood. Gibson officials say that they have provided documentation indicating the wood in question was purchased from a Forest Stewardship Council certified supplier, which by all accounts is the industry standard for conducting due diligence with regard to Lacey Act legislation. However, the wood has not been returned, and Gibson remains under investigation.
The Hardwood Federation fully supports the existing Lacey Act and is working to educate members about the protection it provides the wood products industry. Currently, three members of Congress are proposing changes to Lacey that would effectively gut the act. The bill, introduced by Tennessee Representatives Jim Cooper and Marsha Blackburn and California Representative Mary Bono Mack, would completely exempt pulp and paper from the Lacey Act requirements. Pulp and paper represents a majority of forest product imports, and employs almost 400,000 people in 42 states. The legislation would also minimize the fines for first infractions to just $250.
After a long investigation, the International Trade Commission recently ruled in favor of the multilayered engineered wood flooring antidumping and countervailing duty brought to its attention by the Coalition for American Hardwood Parity (CAHP). This group made allegations of illegal dumping by Chinese manufacturers and asked the ITC to investigate, stating that the process created unfair trade practices that undermined United States manufacturers, and threatened United States jobs. The ITC ruled in favor of the CAHP group and now requires cash deposits for estimated antidumping and countervailing duties, which vary by Chinese manufacturer. The exact amount of such fines will not be determined until the United States Department of Commerce conducts its review.
The Hardwood Federation also worked to educate Congressional leaders about the benefits of using renewable domestic wood in government building projects. This stemmed from the specification of bamboo flooring in a gymnasium to be constructed at Camp Lejeune in an effort to use renewable building materials. The group showed that not only is bamboo an imported product and thus uses more energy to transport to the building site, but the material that was later specified—domestic maple—is completely renewable, creates jobs for Americans, and costs $30,000 less to use. To that end, the group has requested a meeting regarding Navy LEED policy. The group also is working with the United States Green Building Council to amend LEED standards to recognize wood in green building projects.
Boiler MACT legislation, designed to regulate the emissions of hazardous air pollutants, has the potential to shut down many mills, at least temporarily, as they reconfigure their operations to meet the new requirements. This would cause production delays and lead to price increases, as well as lack of supply, in an already struggling industry. The group is actively working with forestry coalitions to gain strength in Congress to encourage the EPA to recognize the needs of the hardwood industry on this issue.
The 2012 Farm Bill will have a significant impact on our industry as well. The Hardwood Federation is working to ensure that hardwood forestry and conservation issues are included in the upcoming Farm Bill reauthorization, encouraging further development of a sustainable, dependable hardwood supply. The group is also urging the Administration and Congress to maintain funding for the Market Access Program, which supports the American Hardwood Export Council's promotion of United States hardwood exports. Congress is attempting to act on an expedited Farm Bill this year, and the group is working with the House and Senate Agriculture Committees to have hardwood positions included in such legislation.
The Hardwood Federation also supports increases in allowable truck weights through federal legislation to enhance productivity and savings in goods movement. Legislation regarding this issue has been introduced and has gained supporters. The group will work with broad inter-industry coalitions to advance the initiative.
The National Wood Flooring Association's Responsible Procurement Program (RPP) was presented during the Fly-In as well. One of the major priorities of the NWFA's RPP is to help increase the amount of available Forest Stewardship Council certified wood. Currently, it is estimated that about 90% of the world's forests are not FSC-certified, which makes it difficult to practice due care under Lacey. The NWFA recently helped bridge this gap through an initiative with the White Wood Timber Group to certify 12,000 acres of forestland through the Forest Stewardship Council. The acreage includes 24 landowners in South Carolina, and represents the start of a much larger certification project that is expected to grow to 80,000 acres in just five years, combining the resources of landowners in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. The group plans to pursue similar ventures in other areas of the country as well.
FSC certification is recognized throughout the world as the pinnacle of forest certification programs, and yet many privately held forests are unable to achieve FSC certification for a variety of reasons. The NWFA's RPP program helps to bridge that gap by providing measurable, achievable, recognizable goals for companies that are working toward FSC certification. To help accomplish this goal, the NWFA made entry into the program more streamlined and user friendly.
The NWFA also has recently begun work with the National Center for Sustainability Standards to develop a product category rule for wood, tile, carpet, resilient and laminate floorcoverings.
As you can see, there are numerous legislative issues that will have a big impact on the hardwood flooring industry and the industry as a whole. A lot has been accomplished already, but there's more work to be done. It is important that flooring professionals unify as a group and use their collective voice to mobilize the industry to positively impact their livelihoods. These are issues the entire industry can support, whether on Capitol Hill, in forests, or in individual businesses.

My website is http://www.theartsofsilence.com. I just discovered that one of my menu (blog) is directed to a Bluehost page. I didn't changed anything… Here is the link: http://www.theartsofsilence.com/blog/
Where is my blog? Why isn't it visible?
Hey Viktoria!
I can't reproduce that issue, when i click on "Blog" in the menu it takes me to the actual 'blog'.
Hi Josue,
Meanwhile I found the cause of the issue; I created a subdomain named blog.viktoriaseavey.com for an other website of mine. (It is an other domain on the same hosted account.) There was a folder in my public_html/blog. As soon as I deleted the subdomain and the folder on my ftp, the issue was solved. I don't understand though why it this problem occurred.
The topic 'Blog is gone' is closed to new replies.

My daughter wants me to make her a quilt using this fabric. I will probably combine it with (mostly) reds and blacks and maybe some black-and-white music notes fabric. (Dark colors are a practical choice since various cats will be sleeping on her bed and all the cats are dark-colored.)
I didn't expect her to choose this fabric as the feature so I'm coming up short on ideas.
Looking for suggestions, please!

Throwing around some ideas for a new build: road/cx disc weird hybrid type thing 1x10 with a bar end shifter or some of these
Genevalle sell a long-pull lever, which I assume would work with the mountain bike calipers - so would these be a more powerful option?
The TRP hydros look like an option too but the hoods look a bit long - anyone any experience with them?
Oh, and this looks lush!

Today while grocery shopping I walked by the deli where there was a woman ordering a tuna salad sandwich. Even though I have not given tuna salad much of a thought since going vegetarian/vegan (I was never a huge fan of tuna salad) I decided it would be neat to try a vegan version for lunch when I got home. So, I went to the produce aisle, picked up some celery and green onion (I like a bit of a crunch).
This recipe is very simple and you likely have everything you need to make it in your pantry right now. This made enough for two sandwiches so I have some leftover and am glad to have lunch for tomorrow already prepared. I think this would do nicely for days I want to bring a bagged lunch to work.
No Tuna Salad Sandwich
1 can chickpeas, rinsed, drained and mashed
1 green onion chopped fine
1 rib of celery chopped fine
1 1/2 tbsp Vegenaise or other vegan mayo
1 and 1/2 tbsp pickle relish
salt and pepper to taste
Sliced tomato
Sandwich bread (I used a multi grain roll)
Mix the chickpeas, onion, celery, relish, salt and pepper until well incorporated. Place about half the mixture on the bread, top with tomato and sprouts. I served mine with some potato, squash and carrot chips and pickles.
I really enjoyed this. I hope you do too.

Angelina Jolie confessed she frighted multiple small children while wearing her "Maleficent" costume during the D23 fan convention in Anaheim, Calif.
"The strange thing was people with little kids would visit the set and I would think, 'I'm a Disney character!'" the actress said at the panel for her upcoming film.
"I'd go over to the children and say hi," she told the crowd. "And they would scream and run off. One little boy actually said Mommy, 'Please, tell the mean witch to please stop talking to me.'"
The Academy Award winning actress, who attended the convention to unveil footage from the 2014 film, explained she felt the most comfortable while working with daughter Vivienne -- who plays a very young version of Aurora, the "Sleeping Beauty."
"She was the only 4-year-old who wouldn't scream," Jolie said.
According to the film' director, Academy-Award winner Robert Stromber, "Maleficent" takes a lot from the 1953 Disney version of the film but from the villain's perspective.
"It has to be from the point of view of the villain, so as beautiful as it was it also needed the edge, and to be a little sexy and little darker."
"We'll see the epic battle with of the dragon, but this time, just maybe, we may find ourselves rooting for the other side," added studio production chief Sean Bailey.
As for Jolie, the actress expects parents and children to warm up to the villain. She claimed that even as a child she felt drawn to the character of Maleficent.
"Since I was a little girl, Maleficent was always my favorite. I was terrified of her, but I was so drawn to her. I wanted to know more about her, know what she was like and who she was," Jolie said. "She had this elegance and grace, and yet she was so cruel, Just wonderfully and deliciously cruel."
Also starring Elle Fanning as an older Aurora, "Maleficent" hits theaters on July 2, 2014.

Agricultural Extension
In this chapter we analyze the considerations that lead policy makers to undertake extension investments as a key public responsibility, as well as the complex set of factors and intra-agency incentives that explain why different extension systems' performance varies. Accordingly, the chapter provides a conceptual framework outlining farmers' demand for information, the welfare economic characterizations of extension services, and the organizational and political attributes that govern the performance of extension systems. The framework is used to examine several extension modalities and to analyze their likely and actual effectiveness. Specifically, the modalities reviewed include "training and visit" extension, decentralized systems, "fee-for-service" and privatized extension, and farmer-field-schools. The chapter also provides a discussion of methodological issues pertaining to the assessment of extension outcomes, and a review of some of the recent empirical literature on extension impact. The chapter emphasizes the efficiency gains that can come from locally decentralized delivery systems with incentive structures based on largely private provision that in most countries will still be publicly funded. In wealthier countries, and for particular higher income farmer groups, extension systems will likely evolve into fee-for-service organizations.

Scanning and Indexing with GoScan Desktop
Information is everywhere. Sometimes there is so much information that it prevents us from performing our jobs efficiently and effectively. Finding the information you need, when you need it, is a critical key to success.
Important pieces of information can be captured and associated with a scanned image. Once processed, the information can be exported to an electronic filing system or enterprise document management solution. Indexes can be produced by recognizing data embedded in one or two dimensional bar codes that users create within MS Word or other word processing programs.
When used in conjunction with GoScan Lite, GoScan Desktop is a simple, smart and secure way to capture information and easily organize it.
GoScan Desktop is the perfect application for organizations that require powerful results without having to learn or manage complicated technology. After installation, there is minimal configuration required to capture images, recognize index values, and export data. GoScan periodically watches a "hot folder" where images have been deposited. GoScan then exports images and the data captured from them to a network folder, ftp site, or database.
It's that easy.
If the image GoScan looks at contains a bar code, GoScan will assign the value in the bar code to every image until it sees another bar code coversheet. Bar codes can be placed anywhere on the cover sheet and GoScan will be able to locate the key data.
Projects are driven by a need to meet compliancy requirements, new legislation and to remain competitive within the marketplace. Maintaining the integrity of the collected data, certifying the capture process and tracking a user's interaction with the data and the process must be maintained to provide a truly sound scanning environment.
GoScan Desktop ships with the ability to scan and generate images using the GoScan Lite interface.

Riley Polumbus: Cyclocross: Cycling's answer to winter
January 7, 2011
Steamboat Springs — While the snow was piling up in Steamboat Springs in December, Jon Cariveau plowed through mud to earn third- and fourth-place finishes in the single speed and masters divisions at the National Cyclocross Championships in Bend, Ore.
Isn't December a little late in the year for riding? Do they purposely ride in bad weather? What is cyclocross? I called Cariveau to find out.
Riley Polumbus: What is the season for cyclocross?
Jon Cariveau: In the U.S., the season is late September to mid-December, but that will change next year when the season aligns with Europe's. It will still start in September and to go through early to mid-January.
RP: What is the origin of cyclocross?
JC: It started in Europe in the '30s or '40s. The guys who were doing the Tour de France wanted a way to stay fit during winter, even in the cold climate. They started riding their road bikes through the fields and little roads across Europe. They would get off their bikes and run so their feet and hands would warm back up.
Recommended Stories For You
RP: What is a typical course like?
JC: No more than 3 kilometers in distance, they try to make it variable surface conditions, such as 20 percent pavement, 50 percent grass and a little bit of singletrack. Just like a ski race, there are technical requirements for the course: width, varying surface conditions and a certain amount of dismounts per lap.
RP: What's different about a cyclocross bike?
JC: It looks largely like a road bike: drop handlebars and the same kind of lever systems for shifting. The frame has much more clearance for wider tires, and it's a much knobbier tire than what is used on a road bike. It's kind of that middle ground between a mountain bike and a road bike, but leans more toward the road side — lighter weight but more upright.
RP: How did you get into this type of cycling?
JC: Soon after I moved to Steamboat in 1992. I had been a mountain bike racer and a road racer and had a cousin who had gotten into cyclocross. She said, "Where you live with the snow and the mud seasons on each side of the winter, a cyclocross bike would be one of the best bikes you could have." So I bought my first cyclocross bike in 1993.
RP: Is Steamboat a good place to train?
JC: Without a doubt. You ride all summer on a mountain bike and a road bike and that's great base miles. With our snow that starts in November, you learn to ride in those conditions. We have a lot of great dirt roads and parks. The terrain in Steamboat is very conducive for a cross bike.

Temporary relief can lead to complacency. To have green, healthy, weed-free lawns in Spring, we still have some work to do
Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) February 22, 2013
Colorado lawn care company Swingle Lawn, Tree & Landscape Care advises that while recent snowfall in Denver, Fort Collins and Colorado's high country is welcome, it is not enough to alleviate concerns about the impact of the current drought on lawns and trees.
"We welcome the snow and we're glad more is forecast," said Tom Tolkacz, CEO of Denver-based Swingle, "but drought conditions persist in Colorado. We need to continue to give our lawns and trees every opportunity to thrive in Spring."
Tolkacz referenced a recent US Drought Monitor report that labeled the entire Colorado Front Range in "moderate to severe" drought and one from National Weather Service projecting dry conditions to "persist or intensify" through April. Before the snowfall that began Wednesday, February 20, 2013, Colorado snowpack was 75 percent of average. The precipitation received of late will not be enough to make up for the shortfall.
Swingle is advising Colorado homeowners and commercial property managers to take specific measures to protect the health and beauty of their lawn and trees:
- When shoveling or blowing snow off driveways or sidewalks, push it to your lawn rather than the street. Every little bit of moisture helps the landscape and streets become incrementally safer.
- Treat your soil. Dry lawns are susceptible to disease. Soil enhancement provides bigger impact from smaller amounts of water.
- Set an appointment now for lawn aeration in early Spring.
- Mulch bare ground areas of your lawn and top-dress existing mulch beds. Mulch should be no more than four inches deep and not up against the trunk or base of trees and shrubs.
- Check your lawn for mites. Wipe a white piece of paper over the grass. Cool season mites are activated by warm winters and an absence of precipitation, such as Colorado has experienced.
Be sure to check southern and western exposures. If red streaks appear on the paper, contact a professional about mite control.
"Temporary relief such as we've experienced recently can lead to complacency," said Tolkacz. "To have green, healthy, weed-free lawns in Spring, we still have some work to do."
About Swingle Lawn, Tree & Landscape Care
Founded in Denver in 1947, Swingle Lawn, Tree and Landscape Care has grown to be the one of the largest residential and commercial lawn service and tree care companies in Colorado, employing more certified arborists than any other Colorado company.

Hi Hawaiigirl99 - ok, well, really quick, to say 'thank you' it's actually 'Mahalo' - not 'Maholo.' Just a quick one for you there - funny, when I was living in Hawaii, I remember being at the McDonalds and some tourists were there, saw the words 'Mahalo' on the trash bin, and thought 'Mahalo' meant 'Trash Can.' They were telling their son: 'Go put your cup in the ma-hay-low!!!" He he he - we cracked up, but I can see how they could make the mistake....
ANYWAY, alright - the translation:
Hiki mai, hiki mai ka la, e = It has come, it has come, the sun
Aloha wale ka la e kau nei = Greetings to the sun placed on high
Aia malalo o Kawaihoa = There below Kawaihoa
Aka lalo o Kauai o Lehua = Below Kauai and Lehua
E ala, e ala, ea = arise
He mele no ka hikina o ka la = A song for the rising sun
Hope this helps - Kawaihoa is a point not far from Hanauma Bay.

The Union-Tribune's movie panel saw "Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Rodrick Rules."
Heidi Atienza
A Del Cerro Realtor, 40, she is the mother of three children.
Liked: "Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Rodrick Rules" is a side-splittingly funny sequel that I enjoyed more than the original "Diary of a Wimpy Kid." I found myself howling with laughter. It contains plenty of embarrassing situations and a few moments that are sharply sad. The main characters are more developed and likable than in the first movie. Viewers won't be lost if they haven't seen the original film. My son Eddie, a middle-schooler, tells me that the movie follows the second book well and has a warmer tone than the book.
Disliked: Nothing.
Would I recommend it? Absolutely! Some of the humor is a bit crude. However, in a scene where alcohol, smoking, drugs and foul language could easily be present, all are absent. It's appropriate for ages 5 and up — unless you don't want them to see a scene where a 12-year-old is caught in his underwear.

Casa Mañana's production of Peter Pan offers the classical story but with humor, singing and dancing. And, of course, flying!
Peter Pan was a close first on my favorite character list because the actress (Alyssa Robbins) took on the role and really fulfilled it. She was so good with the emotions of Peter Pan while holding the character of a boy.
Her entrance was cool as she flew into the children's bedroom through big, open windows. She was just so happy and bright.
Emma Colwell seemed so into the part of Wendy. Her performance was amazing throughout the play because she got into her role. That's a big part of acting!
Peter Pan told Wendy and her brothers Michael (Stephen Newton) and John (David Midkiff) to think and say happy thoughts so they would be able to fly.
I had to laugh when Michael (the younger brother) kept saying "candy" as his happy thought.
When the four of them took off and started to fly, it looked so real. I sat in my chair and wanted to fly like them. It looked like a lot of fun!
As the play got closer to intermission, I noticed how the kids and parents in the audience were enjoying themselves. They all laughed and smiled, and it looked like all these people would be back to Casa Mañana for the next show.
The costumes were a nice addition. All of them were unique in a way, and you didn't have to guess who was who.
Backstage, they have a sewing room where they make all the costumes. They also have a little place for the stage manager with two TV monitors and switches for sound. The sound machine is no bigger than a chest of drawers!
The set was so cool: Everything looked so real, and everything was a moving part and could be used as something else. Some things moved and some things just flipped over.
I was surprised by how many dance routines there were. All of the songs and dances looked so hard to do, but the entire cast pulled it off so well. It is hard to sing and dance at the same time, but these actors and actresses sounded and looked awesome!
The character Captain Hook hooked me from his first step on the stage. I loved how he changed his voice to sound like the real character. And his makeup was kind of freaky, but I loved it!
This whole show was so much fun. It was a perfect show for the family. I've been to a lot of places and watched a lot of plays because I am a theater student, and Casa Mañana was so great. It wasn't small and it wasn't huge. It was perfect! There wasn't a bad seat in the house!
The production came off so perfectly. Like Neverland, you could say it was out of this world.
Hannah Noxon, 11, of Arlington is a BriefingKids reporter.
What the actors have to say
I talked with Emma Colwell (Wendy) and Ryan Page (Pirate and a "puller" backstage who handles the ropes) after a performance during their opening weekend:
What kind of challenges did you have with flying?
Emma: Well, we had what we called "Fly Day" where all we did was fly around and learn where to be when we started to fly. We rehearsed flying and how to be safe with the harnesses on.
Was it hard learning to fly while having to say your parts?
Emma: We [the children] didn't fly and have to say much, but Alyssa [Peter Pan] sang and talked while in the air. But, yes, working around singing and talking in the air took some practice. And Ryan [one of the people who works the ropes back stage] was working my ability to fly, so he had to run around helping me go high and low and from one side to the other and play his other roles.
Tell me about your other theater experience.
Emma: I started acting at around 9 or 10. I did a lot of community theaters [around Dallas-Fort Worth]. Then I came to Casa and started acting here.
Ryan: I started at a young age, too, and have worked in many plays. Lots of community theater. One day, I auditioned at Casa and have been here ever since.
I am thinking about auditioning for my first musical this spring. How different is it being in a musical compared with a standard play?
Emma: It is definitely harder because you have to memorize the acting part along with singing. But after you get it all down it seems like a breeze.
Emma, you are 15. What has it been like being a child actress? Do you get any time for yourself?
Emma: Well, we have 24 shows of Peter Pan and we do some in the morning or afternoon. So we either have most of our day off [before a night show] or we get the rest of the day off after an afternoon show.
What is your dream role and why?
Ryan: I already had mine. I was in a musical Into the Woods, which is a mash-up of all the fairy tales, and I played the baker. That was my dream role because it was so much fun. I'd do that one again.
Emma: It's just so hard to pick one out of all the plays you could perform in and all the roles there are.
If you go: Peter Pan runs through May 11. $16-$36. Casa Mañana, 3101 W. Lancaster Ave., Fort Worth. 817-332-2272. casamanana.org.

Short Case Studies (ICOMOS–IAU Case Study format)
The structure of Short Case Studies is based upon the format of case studies in ICOMOS Thematic Studies in general, and in particular on that used in the ICOMOS–IAU Thematic Study on astronomical heritage.
The original set of case studies used in the Thematic Study were written by experts identified by ICOMOS and the IAU—recognised specialists in the history of astronomy and archaeoastronomy such as university academics and members of the Inter-Union Commission on the History of Astronomy (ICHA) and the International Society for Archaeoastronomy and Astronomy in Culture (ISAAC)—advised by ICOMOS' experts with regard to the value assessment of the various examples studied.
Short Case Studies that have appeared on the portal more recently have been proposed by astronomy or heritage professionals via the forum, offered for discussion among the professional community, and reviewed by the portal's advisors.
Purpose of the Short Case Studies
Short Case Studies aim to demonstrate methods and relevant issues concerning the presentation and analysis of the value of the chosen sites and objects in relation to astronomy. Each of the case studies produced in the context of the ICOMOS–IAU Thematic Study illustrates one of the thematic essays. The intention is to help State Parties identify potential sites and undertake comparative studies.
There is no linkage with the World Heritage List or the national Tentative Lists: some of the heritage described is on the World Heritage List already, either in its own right or as part of a larger property, but in other cases it is not. The inclusion or otherwise of a particular site carries no implications whatsoever should it ever be proposed for inscription onto the World Heritage List.
Structure of the Short Case Studies
In the interests of balance, each Short Case Study follows the same plan, with the following sections:
Presentation and analysis of the site:
Present site management:
Where possible, the case studies include one or more photos and/or a plan.
Accessing the Short Case Studies
The Short Case Studies are accessible via the astronomical heritage finder, appearing as yellow markers on the map (or white markers if there are also other sources of information relating to the entity concerned: such markers will resolve apart if the map scale is increased towards its maximum).
In the location section for moveable artefacts we specify one or both of the following: "Original location" (i.e. the find spot, if known) and "Current location" (e.g. the museum or collection where the object is now located, if known). The "Current location" does not take account of temporary localities (e.g. museum exhibits on travelling displays). At present, it is the original location that is marked on the finder map.
Short Case Studies can also be accessed via the list view of entities.

There's a reason guys like Auburn's Cam Newton, Alabama's Mark Ingram and LSU's Stevan Ridley want to play in the SEC. It's all about the league's emphasis on the ground game.
They're helping the Southeastern Conference live up to its reputation for being a tough running conference as they follow the dynamic runners who have helped the league win national titles.
"Look at the last three national championship teams from the SEC. They all had a physical running game," Ridley said. "They all had one downhill runner. (LSU) had Jacob Hester, Florida had (quarterback Tim) Tebow, who was like a running back. There was Ingram at Alabama. Now, Auburn has Cam."
The SEC has 13 players ranked among the top 100 runners in the FBS - more than any other conference - and the league's teams are averaging 173.3 yards rushing per game, just behind the Big Ten (177.6) and Pac-10 (176.9).
"This a running league. Like, men play in this league," said Kentucky defensive end Taylor Wyndham, who's faced six of those top 13 runners. "Big guys, 300-pound guys and when you come in the SEC you think run, you don't think pass. You know you've got to stop the run week after week."
Ingram won the 2009 Heisman Trophy after picking up 1,542 yards on 249 carries, a single-season record at Alabama. Though teams have doubled up efforts to shut him down this season, he is still averaging 90.7 yards per game and has eight touchdowns.
The sixth-ranked Crimson Tide has not just one, but two of the SEC's top 10 rushers in Ingram and Trent Richardson, who's averaging 75.8 yards per game.
Newton, who ranks sixth in the nation in rushing even though he's a quarterback, has worked his way into Heisman contention thanks to his league-leading 122.6 yards rushing per game and 14 touchdowns. But he's not the only one that helped third-ranked Auburn bolt to the top of the BCS standings. Michael Dyer and Mario Fannin have shared the load with 67.9 and 36.1 yards per game.
In a 24-17 win over previously unbeaten LSU, the SEC West-leading Tigers had 440 yards rushing - the most they've ever had against a conference opponent. The effort could be summed up in one play where the entire Auburn offense got behind Dyer to push him forward an extra 5 yards.
"I didn't hear a whistle, so I guess the play kept going and we wanted to get the crowd involved and just move the chains," Newton said. "If I don't hear a whistle my mind is machine-like ... go until the whistle."
No. 17 South Carolina's surge to the top of the SEC East comes in no small part thanks to Lattimore, who's averaging 89.7 yards rushing. The freshman's two best games statistically have come in the Gamecocks' biggest wins this season - over Georgia and No. 1 Alabama.
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier has long leaned on short, drop back passes, but this year he's stuffing the line a little bit more and sending Lattimore up the middle.
"We could never do that before here but having Marcus and maybe that little scheme of blocking we do now I think gives us a chance to do that," Spurrier said.
The SEC attracts good tailbacks and running quarterbacks because of the running tradition, but coaches also know it's imperative to have them because of another trademark quality of the SEC: fast and strong defenses.
"It's a physical league with the defenses you play, you'd better be able to run the ball efficiently," Kentucky coach Joker Phillips said. "Auburn is doing it. These guys we're about to play (Mississippi State), they're running the ball. South Carolina has improved. Why? Because I think they're running the ball more efficient than they have in the past."
It goes back to the SEC's big, fast defensive linemen, who resemble NFL defensive linemen more than those in any other conference, Tennessee coach Derek Dooley said. Those linemen get to quarterbacks quickly, so Dooley said it's important to have a strong running game.
Dooley said defensive linemen in the SEC get better facing talented runners daily in practice.
"There's a certain element of toughness that running the football creates in your football team because in practice you have to defend it and you have to do it - you have to do it every day. If you never run the ball in practice, how do you develop a good, tough, physical defense?"

Rays bullpen mowing down the opposition
Rays bullpen mowing down the opposition
In Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Orioles, Chris Davis' seventh-inning solo homer against Burke Badenhop snapped a streak of 21 consecutive scoreless innings for the Rays 'pen. The group racked up 33 strikeouts during the stretch, which dated back to July 18.
"You're not going to go to the final game of the season and win it without strong starting pitching and a great bullpen," Maddon said. "We have a nice balance back and forth, they seem to be relatively well and healthy. I think going into the last two months of the season for me, as a manager, I know that it's important to keep these guys frisky and fresh. If there's anything I agonize over on a daily basis, it's the bullpen. I don't agonize over anything else. I promise you that."
Maddon said his task of keeping the 'pen in top shape has become significantly easier since Kyle Farnsworth returned to action on June 30 after missing the start of the year with an elbow injury.
By using Farnsworth in eight games, Maddon has been able to give his other relievers rest when they need it.
"It's always about taking care of the bullpen," Maddon said. "And if you take care of the bullpen, you can play the last game of the year and win it."
Fernando Rodney has earned most of the headlines for converting 28 of 29 saves and posting a 0.81 ERA, but Maddon has been pleased by the contributions of many others.
Wade Davis and Jake McGee have both posted sub-three ERAs, while J.P. Howell hasn't surrendered a run in 17 innings since June 14.
Even Joel Peralta, whose 4.15 ERA is one of the 'pen's highest, has impressed Maddon. Removing Peralta's worst two outings, his ERA is just 2.61.
"People are going to be absolutely confused by [Peralta's ERA]," Maddon said. "That's just a couple bad outings. This guy has been unbelievably lockdown for us."

Vladimir Guerrero drove in Robert Andino with a single in the 12th inning, allowing the Baltimore Orioles to beat the Kansas City Royals 6-5 on Thursday for their season-high fifth straight victory.
Nolan Reimold had four hits, including two homers, and four RBIs for the Orioles, who squandered a bases-loaded, no-out situation in the 11th before coming through in the 12th.
Andino led off the inning with a single off Louis Coleman (0-2), the sixth Kansas City pitcher. Adam Jones popped out and Nick Markakis was intentionally walked before Guerrero hit a bouncing single up the middle to score the decisive run.
Jeremy Accardo (3-1) worked two perfect innings for the win.
The Royals took a 4-0 lead in the second, sending nine to the plate against Jeremy Guthrie.
Jeff Francoeur led off with a single, went to third on Wilson Betemit's single and scored on Mike Aviles' grounder. After a single by Brayan Pena, Getz lined an RBI single to left, Alex Gordon reached on catcher's interference and Melky Cabrera hit a two-run single to center.
Reimold hit an 0-1 changeup off Jeff Francis in the second for his second homer of the year. The shot ended Francis' scoreless streak at 16 innings.
A four-run third put the Orioles ahead. Andino and Jones singled, Mark Reynolds hit a two-out RBI single and Reimold launched an 0-2 pitch into the left-field stands for a three-run home run and the first multiple-homer game of his career.
Since being recalled from Triple-A on May 20, Reimold is 6 for 11 with three home runs.
Consecutive two-out doubles by Getz and Alex Gordon tied the score in the fourth, and it remained that way until the game went to extra innings.
Chris Getz had three hits for Royals, who dropped their fifth game in a row.
Francis worked six innings, allowing five runs on nine hits. Guthrie yielded five runs - four earned - on nine hits in seven innings.
NOTES: The Orioles recalled C Craig Tatum from Triple-A. ... Betemit has hit safely in 31 of 37 starts. ... A funeral for ex-Royals pitcher and broadcaster Paul Splittorff will be May 31 in Blue Springs, Mo. Splittorff died Wednesday of complications from melanoma.

Italy's Torah Day Excludes Women, Critics Say
'In the 13 cities involved, the only woman who figures is someone assigned to take reservations for lunch,' says Italian Jewish scholar.
Yom HaTorah in Italy, a day devoted to group study of the Torah in 13 Jewish communities across the country, excluded women, critics complained.
Sunday's Torah Day, promoted as a milestone in Jewish learning in Italy, included lectures, discussions, study sessions led by rabbis and teachers, and post-study parties. It was organized by the education department of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities and dedicated to the memory of the noted 20th century Italian Jewish scholar Rabbi Elia Samuele Artom.
In Rome and Milan, Italy's two largest Jewish communities, events started in the morning and ended at night. The Jewish community of Naples marked the day with the festive dedication of a new Torah scroll for its synagogue.
Italian Jewish scholar Laura Mincer pointed out a gap in the programming, however. "It is a splendid initiative," she wrote in a commentary published on the Union of Jewish Communities news site. But, she noted, "in the 13 cities involved, the only woman who figures is someone assigned to take reservations for lunch."
Furthermore, she wrote, the study sessions in Rome were listed specifically for "fathers and sons."

MASSILLON — Kody Bender waited nine months for another chance at Medina. On Saturday, he made the most of the opportunity.
Bender scored a career-high 32 points — 24 in the first half — as Elyria defeated Medina 75-71 in the Play4Cancer Shootout at Massillon Jackson High.
The game was a rematch of last season's Division I regional semifinal which the Bees won 46-41 in overtime, a fact that wasn't lost on Bender and his teammates.
"Yeah we have been talking about that for a while, that this is a revenge game," said Bender, a 6-foot senior guard. "We just wanted to come out and get physical on them and get revenge on them for knocking us out."
Bender and junior guard Isaiah Walton accounted for 39 of Elyria's 44 first-half points. Walton added 19.
"It feels really good to come in here today and beat Medina after what happened last year," Walton said. "We came out really strong, really focused on the scouting report ... we knew what we wanted to do."
The Pioneers (4-0) took a 24-12 lead by the end of the first quarter, extending the margin to as much as 13 late in the second quarter before going into the locker room with a 44-33 lead.
If Elyria's defensive pressure and swarming defense didn't cause the Bees (1-3) enough trouble, Medina also found itself in serious foul trouble with five different players picking up two fouls in the first 9:25 of the game.
Medina was also feeling the effects of playing its second game in less than 24 hours. The Bees lost to Garfield Heights 65-58 at home Friday.
"I thought we came out flat today," Medina coach Anthony Stacey said. "We didn't have much energy early on and we lost the game in the first four minutes when they scored 18 points. We made a good comeback, but it's tough to climb that mountain once you get down by 15."
When Bender and Walton slowed down in the second half, senior guard Da'Juan Glover took over, nailing a pair of 3-pointers early in the third quarter.
Medina began to rally late in the third, going on a 14-2 run that brought the Bees to within 61-55 with 6:17 to play.
Billy Geschke led the Bees with 19 points, while Brandon Wilkins — a 6-5 junior — had 16 points and 16 rebounds.
As if combining to score 51 of their points wasn't enough, Walton and Bender also led the Pioneers with nine rebounds each.
Medina pulled within 74-71 with 22.9 seconds to play and got the ball back with a chance to tie the game, but a double dribble call gave the ball back to Elyria and Walton made a free throw to close out the win.
"We came out sluggish on Thursday so this morning we talked about how we wanted to come out and run and put pressure on them early on," Elyria coach Brett Larrick said. "We wanted to attack pressure and make them pay for pressuring us and Isaiah and Kody were able to come through and hit their shots.
"In the second half the game turned into a battle of attrition. That's where mental toughness kicks in and I was very proud of the way my kids finished the game. You're not going to keep a team like Medina down by 15 points but when they made their runs we always answered back and made our free throws down the stretch."
Elyria shot 71 percent from the foul line. Bender was 13-of-14 from the line, making his first nine free throws.

Saginaw's Lamarr Woodley Donates Money To End 'Pay To Play' In Saginaw [Video]
Lamarr Woodley has never forgotten where he came from, and is probably one of Saginaw's best representatives.
He showed that again this week as he donated $60,000 to the Saginaw school system to wipe out the new 'pay to play' policy.
The Saginaw School District, for the first time in its history, is instituting a "pay-for-participation" program that would require high school students will pay $75 per sport and middle school students will pay $50 dollars per sport.The district did set limits as they won't charge more than $75 dollars per student and no more than $250 per family.
Woodley's donation will cover the cost, so that every student who wants to take part in sports will be able to do so for free!
Lamarr is far from done though, this Friday is the deadline to sign up for a special event being put on by Woodley this Aug. 29. There will be free haircuts, food, beverages and entertainment at the "Think Big, Dream Big, Live Big event at the civic recreation center on Second Avenue behind the Dow Event Center.
Club 93.7 salutes Lamarr Woodley! Thank you for being such a great role model.

Spread 221 – Out Of The Dark September 22, 2013Posted by Orly in Uncategorized.
It is the intricate dance between the conscious and the subconscious that is constantly unfolding on the pages of my journal.
This quote by Carl Jung beautifully supports this month's art journaling workshop Out of The Dark: "There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd in order to avoid facing their own soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious."
- 2. Kathryn Dyche Dechairo - September 22, 2013
I love that quote and your spread.
- 3. Julia - September 23, 2013
I love this passage….I deal with people all the time in my work, who are addicted to something so that they can't feel their soul pain. I relate too, thank you for wanting to go so deep with your work, which is so magnetising to the eye…x

thanks for your post. It seems very appropriate for me as I have just experienced having my bubble burst due to intense fear. However, perhaps I needed to experience this fear and feel the pain of it before moving forward into a lighter space.
- 5. Patti Sandham - September 23, 2013
What great quote and it goes so perfectly with your spread. Facing your fears is not for the faint of heART.
- 6. Gail Sosna - September 24, 2013
This was very meaningful. I am struggling with this right now and having a tough time facing and working through the painful things in my life. It is a lost feeling to be in the dark.
- 7. John - September 25, 2013
Oh, Orly! I am so glad I know you and get to see your work. We have to have pain to have pleasure.

This has been fixed in Webware CVS but you're right, Webware 0.8 has this bug. I wonder if an 0.8.1 bugfix release would be a good idea? Or maybe we should start pushing ahead for an 0.9 release, although I know there are bugs in the current tip of CVS that need to be ironed out. - Geoff

AVM Content
In het downloadgedeelte vind je gratis updates voor je FRITZ!-product. Selecteer je product en profiteer na het downloaden van nieuwe functies en uitbreidingen van onze ontwikkelingsafdeling. Deze inhoud is beschikbaar in het Engels.
Info on FRITZ!Box 6820 LTE
The update file "FRITZ.Box_6820_LTE.142.xx.xx.image" on ftp.avm.de contains the latest FRITZ!OS (Firmware) for the FRITZ!Box 6820 LTE.
Attention: This update file is only intended for use with FRITZ!Box 6820 LTE!
Please follow the instructions at the end of this file to install the update.
Product: FRITZ!Box 6820 LTE
Version: FRITZ!OS 6.83
Language: English, French, Italian, Spanish, Polish
New functions : - FRITZ!Hotspot: the wireless guest access with additional functions for cafés, shops and practices (captive portal)
- Reservation of data rates
- Extra security and network adjustments
- Option for loading the previous LTE modem software
- Necessary adjustments to changes in the Telefonica network configuration (O2/E-Plus)
Below you find a complete list and descriptions of the new functions in the latest FRITZ!OS, along with a list of further improvements in this version.
New and improved Features in FRITZ!OS 6.83
NEW: Option for loading the previous LTE modem software
NEW: New software version for the LTE modem
NEW: TR069 query parameters supported for LTE connection
NEW: Text reception supported -- texts received output as event
NEW: Guaranteed data rate for home network devices despite intensive use of the guest network
NEW: Option for autonomous port sharing (UPnP/PCP) can be enabled for each device
Home network:
NEW: IP address (DHCP) can be changed directly in the device details
NEW: FRITZ!Hotspot - the wireless guest access with additional functions for cafés, shops or practices: Captive portal with own logo, text and link to own homepage.
Details at https://en.avm.de/guide/practical-wifi-features/the-fritzhotspot-for-your-guests/
NEW: New convenience features added to myfritz.box user interface and optimized display on smartphones and tablets (responsive design)
NEW: Certain settings and features require additional confirmation by the user where the FRITZ!Box is located
Priorities in WiFi
With the FRITZ!OS 6.80 update users can be sure to surf, stream or chat without interference even if the guest network is highly used. So you can decide which transmission rates you and your guests are entitled to. If the FRITZ!Box owners are not online, the guests can enjoy higher data rates.
Even better and easier: MyFRITZ! for browser and app
Following the fritz.box user interface - the window to the FRITZ!Box - with FRITZ!OS 6.83 the user interfaces of the MyFRITZ! service (myfritz.net) and FRITZ!NAS now also appear in a responsive design and adjust to any display size. Using the MyFRITZ!App 2 (for Android) users have convenient access to their FRITZ!Box - at home and from anywhere else. With a single swipe you can establish a secure connection to your home network and access your FRITZ!Box and connected devices from on the go.
On the safe side: strong passwords and settings requiring confirmation
The saving of backup files and the changing of certain settings are even safer now, as a new function implements an additional confirmation that can only be verified where the FRITZ!Box is located (two-factor authentication). Attempts to log in with wrong user data are recorded as an event. Numerous other FRITZ!OS 6.83 upgrades provide the FRITZ!Box with the latest security standards. With every large update AVM always advises to install the latest version of FRITZ!OS for optimum security and best network synchronization.
Approve access from the Internet for online games, gaming consoles or IP devices
Devices connected to the FRITZ!Box are safe from unauthorized access from the Internet. However, certain applications such as online games or devices like IP cameras or gaming consoles sometimes need to be accessible for others over the Internet. FRITZ!Box users can enable such connections through port sharing. Now it's also possible to allow certain devices to control port sharing automatically. With FRITZ!OS 6.83 all shared ports (IPv4, IPv6, MyFRITZ! or autonomous) can be viewed and configured at once. Users can find an overview of all shared ports with their connected home network devices in the menu at "Internet" "Permit Access". Settings for parental controls can also be used with pure IPv6 devices with the new FRITZ!OS 6.80.

Have you seen the two videos below produced by Dove?
I showed one of them recently before a sermon and the second was a bit too risque to show with some younger folks in our midst. My sermon was part of a series of sermons on relationships (through April 2010) and the focus for this talk was on self identity.
My point is simple:
Beware of the dangers of self-deification and self-hatred. Embrace the truth that God created us, knows us, and loves us. The world often sees human beings as commodities and consumers. The good news is that God sees us as his creations. Good news indeed

College is the last carefree step before real life begins. Ideally, students should fall asleep each night thinking only of the English exam tomorrow morning. They should still be living in a world where although they can't afford much, at least they're not yet worried about paying a mortgage, most forms of insurance, utility bills, or the college loan allowing them to get an education.
Unfortunately, for many college students this is not the case. Many are already burdened with high credit card debt, in some cases over $7,000. With the abundance of on-campus, mail and Internet card offers giving low introductory rates and freebies, it's not surprising to find that according to a 2004 Nellie Mae study 76% of all undergraduate students have at least one credit card and carry an average balance of $2,169.
As a result of high credit card debt, students have lower GPAs and a higher drop-out risk. Some ruin their credit score making it difficult to rent an apartment, afford insurance or get a job. Even relationships and mental health suffer. But with increasing education costs and no co-signing requirements, credit card issuers have found students an easy market to tap into.
A large part of the problem is that most students simply have not been taught how to handle credit cards. According to Consolidated Credit Counseling Services, Inc., only 15% of high school students take a personal finance class. And parents for a variety of reasons are not talking to their children about the privilege and responsibility that go along with using a credit card, according to the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy, a non-profit organization that promotes financial literacy at the K-12 level.
Even though some universities and colleges invite credit card issuers onto campus because they receive revenue as well, others are starting to recognize the problem and taking action. Robert D. Manning writes in his book "Credit Card Nation," that "During the academic year 1999-2000, over 400 colleges and universities formulated official policies against on-campus credit card marketing and nearly 600 other schools are considering similar restrictions."
Some institutions such as Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Central Arkansas (UCA) are even beginning to require classes in personal and consumer finances. Mary Ann Campbell, CFP, professor of personal finance at UCA and professional speaker with Money Magic, Inc., has a mission to educate students, educators, and adults about money.
Like other experts, Campbell is not against students having credit cards. She just wants to see students educated. She gives the following tips and reminders.
- Use a spreadsheet documenting each credit card. Include interest rates, fees, balances, due dates and purchases.
- The only way to get out of debt is to stop charging.
- Always pay more than the minimum.
- Pay off the credit card with the highest interest rate first, then go to the next highest interest card, and so on.
- Talk about money management with someone you trust and respect.
- Compound interest can double the price of your purchase.
- It takes many years to recover from a bad credit score.
Dwayne Blew, member of CreditBoards.com, is a former student who only bought what he needed and paid his balance in full each month. He says, "One of the reasons you're going to college is to improve your lifestyle once you graduate. After putting so much effort into school, why let something small like a credit card end up ruining it all?"
Many excellent resources exist to help students avoid the credit card debt trap:
- Download the booklet titled "The ABCs of Credit Card Finance – Essential Facts for Students" by Carol Carolan, executive director and founder of the Center for Student Credit Card Education
- Join the CardRatings.com message board to receive real-life answers to real-life questions.
- Take a personal finance class.
- DebtSmart.com, created by Scott Bilker, author of the best-selling books "Talk Your Way Out of Credit Card Debt" and "Credit Card and Debt Management," offers tools to help consumers deal with credit card debt.
Amy L. Cooper-Arnold is a staff writer for CardRatings.com, a website that provides free consumer ratings of credit cards. She recently graduated with honors from Austin Peay State Univ. with a degree in English.

Opposition wants inquiry into Aboriginal child abuse claims
The State Opposition has called for an inquiry into what action, if any, was taken by the Health Minister Jim McGinty after he was informed about child sex abuse in Aboriginal communities in 2004.
The Opposition's Indigenous Affairs spokesman Kim Hames says Mr McGinty must explain why he refused to meet Labor supporter Percy Johnson and the former head of ATSIC Lionel Quartermaine after they contacted his office to raise concerns about child sexual abuse in the Kimberley.
Mr McGinty says he met Mr Johnson on a number of occasions about Aboriginal health matters, but Mr Johnson says they only met once, and his pleas for a meeting about sexual abuse were ignored.
Dr Hames says Mr McGinty must be held accountable.
"He is the Minister of Health in Western Australia, and [as Attorney-General] the senior law maker, and if anybody should have done something urgently about sexual abuse it should have been him," he said.
"A Parliamentary inquiry has the ability to call for any persons that have got knowledge of certain situations, we'll certainly call for evidence from Department, and give Jim McGinty the opportunity to prove whatever it is he did."
But Mr McGinty says he did meet Mr Johnson and has nothing to hide.
He says he would always refer such a serious matter to the appropriate authorities.
"Whenever I receive allegations of criminality I refer them to the police," he said.
"These are matters for the police to investigate, first step is to refer them to the police, if there's an allegation of corruption you refer it to the triple-C in order to conduct those investigations and enquiries."

LOS ANGELES -- The collision between Dustin Boyd and Matthew Lombardi in the third period was just one example of how out of sync the Calgary Flames seemed at times last night.
Twice giving up two-goal leads as they looked to lock up the lead in the Northwest Division, the Flames left their goaltender hanging too often.
Somehow, though, they pulled off a fifth straight victory with a 6-4 decision over the Los Angeles Kings.
Giving up three consecutive scores in the third period isn't exactly a recipe for success, but a comeback of their own has them sitting at the top of the division standings thanks to some great saves by Miikka Kiprusoff and late goals from Daymond Langkow and Kristian Huselius.
Both Flames had two-tally nights, with Huselius salting the win with an empty-netter in the final minute.
"I think we thought it was going to be easy," said Langkow, who scored the winner on the powerplay with 5:05 to play after his team grabbed 2-0 and 3-1 leads before the final 20 minutes.
"They slowly built the momentum up. By the third period, we were having trouble getting out of our own end."
The result was a tie game after goals from Brad Stuart and Ladislav Nagy.
"I think the whole game we made it harder for ourselves than it needed to be," said Flames defenceman Anders Eriksson, one of the team's best players on the odd night.
"It was interesting."
With some clutch saves in every period, Kiprusoff helped the club keep its composure.
Even when Anze Kopitar gave the Kings their first lead of the night on the first half of a 5-on-3 advantage in the final frame, the Flames didn't hang their heads -- or lose them.
"They were all over us. They outplayed us," said Langkow. "We finally woke up there and started moving our feet there. We drew a couple of penalties and capitalized on the powerplay."
Huselius tied it up with the team's second score on the man-advantage, and Langkow deposited his second of the night -- also on the powerplay -- a few minutes later.
Jarome Iginla said killing the second half of the two-man Kings advantage while Cory Sarich served a four-minute penalty for a high stick that cut Kyle Calder and was pointed out to officials by a linesman was one of the highs of the rollercoaster ride.
"I thought our killers did a great job at that point, for morale, to still give us a chance," said Iginla, who had a goal and two assists.
"They get another one there, it doesn't feel very good on our bench.
"It feels good because it was definitely a rollercoaster of emotion through the whole game.
"It feels good now."
Robyn Regehr and Langkow got the Flames off on the right foot early in the opening period, scoring a minute apart to open with a two-goal cushion.
The Kings finally caught a break in the second period.
Or perhaps catching Kiprusoff behind the net is a better description.
The goalie waited for a slow-moving puck in the legal zone behind the goal-line and was about to send a no-look backhand around the boards when Alexander Frolov snatched it away and potted a wraparound goal to cut the Flames lead to 2-1.
He probably should have been warned of the sneaky Russian's presence in his back pocket, but the result was new life for a home team that had, up to that point, been held pointless despite a number of strong scoring chances.
Payback was forthcoming though, as Kiprusoff bailed out his teammates with 11 saves in the second stanza, while the Kings pressed for an equalizer.
Ultimately, though, the Flames kept their hopes of a division title alive.
"It's good. But it's so close, too. In the division, everyone's so close to each other," said Kiprusoff.
"It's good to be there but if we want to keep that spot we have to keep winning."
