There is a new iPhone app for photography that I just loaded and so
far I am very impressed. It is a rather complex app with a lot of
functions and is able to save images as a TIFF file and can be
processed Photoshop if this fits your needs. Check out the app. As an
added note, the developer of this app reples to emails and is very
helpful and freindly. I was able to send the image to my computer and
open it is Camera RAW for adjustment in Photoshop. Really impressive.

The next KIWI SINK dig will be 10 March. I will be out of town but
there are 7 barrels on the bottom ready to be filled. Try to continue
working on removing the floor material so the minimum amount of that
material will fall through when we finally have the area stabilized
enough to break through to the lower level of clean-washed breakdown.

Springfield, IL - The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR)
today confirmed the presence of White-Nose Syndrome (WNS), a disease
fatal to several bat species, in four Illinois counties.
The University of Illinois- Illinois Natural History Survey (INHS),
the United States Forest Service (USFS)-Shawnee National Forest, the
University of Illinois' Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (UIVDL), and
the USGS National Wildlife Health Center-Madison, WI (NWHC) assisted
in the discovery of WNS which was detected in LaSalle County in
north-central Illinois, Monroe County in southwestern Illinois, and
Hardin and Pope Counties in extreme southern Illinois
.
Little brown bats and northern long-eared bats from these counties
were submitted to the UIVDL and NWHC in early-to-mid February 2013.
Both of these laboratories confirmed the disease, while the fungal
pathogen was isolated directly from a LaSalle County bat and a Monroe
County bat at the INHS.
