[Texascavers] cave article in today's Austin American-Statesman
Today's Austin American-Statesman has an article on page B1 titled Caves' face-lift to allow rainwater into aquifer, about Blowing Sink Preserve in south Austin. There is a photo of Nico Hauwert , a senior environmental scientist for the city's Watershed Protection Department. The City Council awarded the contract to Zara Environmental (Jean Krejca and Peter Sprouse, et al.) to spend about two months building what are essentially concrete chimneys anchored as deep as 50 feet into the caves. Unfortunately the full online article is available only to subscribers, but that might change in a day or two. http://www.statesman.com/s/news/local/ City Council approves $246,000 for cave repairs in South Austin By Farzad Mashhood http://www.statesman.com/staff/farzad-mashhood/ American-Statesman Staff Five caves tucked in a South Austin preserve will get a $246,000 face-lift to allow more rainwater to pass through them and into the aquifer that feeds Barton Springs. The Austin City Council approved the spending on Thursday.
Re: [Texascavers] cave article in today's Austin American-Statesman
I have it as a full pdf, let me know if you want it -- the list doesn't like
attachments, if i remember rightly.
The wood structures were mostly built by Bill Russell, for considerably less
than a quarter million dollars.

[Texascavers] Sinkhole Conference proceedings
Thanks, George and NCKRI. I've always been frustrated that the proceedings of the previous conferences in the series were allowed to fall into the hands of commercial scientific publishers who priced them for libraries and professionals, with the result that I own few or none of them. The free PDF is great, and the layout is, for the most part, fully commercial-quality. It's not just a concatenation of files provided by the authors. I'll be having made a bound black-and- white printout, but of course I'll also keep a copy of the PDF on disk, because some fraction of the numerous color images really require seeing the color for understanding. There are quite a few papers about Texas.--Mixon Always forgive your enemies. Nothing annoys them more.

RE: [Texascavers] Sinkhole Conference proceedings
Bill, Thanks for the good words. At NCKRI we're trying to support open access to publications as much as possible. That is one of the big reasons we're working on the Karst Information Portal as a giant virtual international cave and karst library. I've seen too many people, who really need information to do good works, blocked from receiving it because it is too expensive to buy. It is a tough choice to do this because selling publications can provide us small but needed funding, but providing open access publications is just the right thing to do. I won't swear that we'll never print another publication, but the next six publications we have on the horizon (not counting our annual report which be available in both print and digital format) are all planned as digital.

[SWR] Silver Fire
All, For those who are familiar with the caves in the Black Range, the Silver Fire has swept past Coffee Cave. Robinson's and other caves in the area are safe, for the moment. The fire is burning north and heading towards Palomas Creek Cave, but it is about 7-8 miles from the fire boundary. However, with the predicted wind today, who knows what will happen. Today's boundary can be viewed at http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/photos/NMGNF/2013-06-09-1228-Silver/picts/2013_06_21-10.32.34.970-CDT.jpeg Steve Peerman Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. attributed to Mark Twain, but no record exists of his having written this. ___ SWR mailing list s...@caver.net http://lists.caver.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swr ___ This list is provided free as a courtesy of CAVERNET

[Texascavers] Sinkhole Conference proceedings
Thanks, George and NCKRI. I've always been frustrated that the proceedings of the previous conferences in the series were allowed to fall into the hands of commercial scientific publishers who priced them for libraries and professionals, with the result that I own few or none of them. The free PDF is great, and the layout is, for the most part, fully commercial-quality. It's not just a concatenation of files provided by the authors. I'll be having made a bound black-and- white printout, but of course I'll also keep a copy of the PDF on disk, because some fraction of the numerous color images really require seeing the color for understanding. There are quite a few papers about Texas.--Mixon Always forgive your enemies. Nothing annoys them more.

RE: [Texascavers] Sinkhole Conference proceedings
Bill, Thanks for the good words. At NCKRI we're trying to support open access to publications as much as possible. That is one of the big reasons we're working on the Karst Information Portal as a giant virtual international cave and karst library. I've seen too many people, who really need information to do good works, blocked from receiving it because it is too expensive to buy. It is a tough choice to do this because selling publications can provide us small but needed funding, but providing open access publications is just the right thing to do. I won't swear that we'll never print another publication, but the next six publications we have on the horizon (not counting our annual report which be available in both print and digital format) are all planned as digital.
