Re: [Texascavers] AMCS news
Thanks Bill Mixon and Thanks Gerald Moni..Preston at Browder, KY - - Original Message - From: "Mixon Bill via Texascavers" To: "Cavers Texas" Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2014 10:49 AM Subject: [Texascavers] AMCS news The deadline for the next issue of the AMCS Activities Newsletter is May 1, 2015. Articles are sought on all significant explorations or other cave-related activities in Mexico. Articles about Central America may also be considered. There is no limit to the size of articles, but try to keep them below ten thousand words :-). Articles should be accompanied by all available cave maps, and photos will be printed in color. Shorter news items, which may include maps or photos, for the "Mexico News" section are also needed, as are excellent cover photos, which need not pertain to articles in the issue. Complete older issues and tables of contents for the most recent issues can be found at http://www.mexicancaves.org/nl/cat.html. Material should be sent to edi...@mexicancaves.org. People who expect to spend much of the spring caving might try to get material on past expeditions to the editor before their trips. The Unión Mexicana de Agrupaciones Espeleológicas (UMAE) and Ruta Náhuatl Expediciones announce the XII Mexican National Congress of Speleology, which will be held in Zongolica, Veracruz, from January 30 to February 2, 2015. The English-language version of the announcement and call for papers is attached to this message. Deadlines in the announcement have passed; hopefully they are flexible. We have just received the information today. The Association for Mexican Cave Studies has been given the Mexican Cave Survey data that Gerald Moni accumulated from about 1990–2005. His database file, along with a few auxiliary files, has been put athttp://www.mexicancaves.org/library/MCS.html . The coordinate locations have been removed from the web version, but locations and data in the several thousand pages of paper files are available from the AMCS for particular caves as needed. Contact a...@mexicancaves.org . The Texas Caver magazine has over the years contained much material about caving in Mexico, including items from ten years before the earliest AMCS publications. A catalog of selected Mexico items in the newsletter has been put on the AMCS web site at http://www.mexicancaves.org/library/TCbiblio.html . The page contains a link to PDF files of the magazine. The AMCS is a Project of the National Speleological Society. -- Bill Mixon, AMCS editor Certainly the game is rigged: If you don't bet, you can't win.
