Bill and Andy, this is a common requirement on caver web sites. I have used
Atomz with good results on both fscsp.org and cavebooks.com
[http://www.atomz.com/].
However on some websites you have a /Private area just to keep out the Google
and other web crawlers because you don't want your name correlated with your
picture, etc. to keep the identity thieves at bay. Atomz claims to have the
ability to handle this but the first time I tried it didn't work. On sensitive
things like this (such as cave locations) you should always check it out "very
carefully" so that you don't get all the extra snoop code installed at the
highest level (admin) that so much of the "free fix my computer" apps seem to
do. (I got rid of Log-Me-In but I am STILL trying to get rid of MacKeeper which
is pinging the internet several times a second...)
If you come up with a good JS that will work behind password protected
directories please let me know.

Other methods for accomplishing the same thing would be considered, but the
advantage of Java Script is that it runs in the web browser, so the server
doesn't need to do anything except deliver the file, which probably simplifies
updating and maintenance. -- Bill Mixon

Here's your chance to come check out the new NSS headquarters and help
the NSS turn this into a world class facility.
We are having a work weekend December 29th & 30th. This will be a
demo party knocking down walls, ripping up carpet and removing
ceilings where the new offices and book store will be. We'll also be
working on cleaning the banquet hall ceiling tiles and putting up and
cleaning the repaired stage curtains.
Blaine Grindle of Sewanee Mtn Grotto and the TAG Brewery has made us a
5 gallon keg of home brew and the NSS will be buying pizza for all the
help. We've got indoor camping available Friday & Saturday night.
If you need more information, please contact me and feel free to post
this on any other re-mailers. Let's show the NSS what the SERA cavers
can do!!

NSS HQ Volunteer Coordinator

Bob has had a rough week, getting a diagnosis of esophageal cancer, and
then facing multiple tests to determine the prognosis. He will NOT get the
results of any tests until after the holidays. He and the family welcome
your positive thoughts, prayers, and positive communication. No BooHoo's or
hysteria of course, but feel free to email him good wishes if you are so
inclined. His address is bcow...@satx.rr.com or home is 5806 Cactus Sun, SA
78244.
Cheers, and have wonderful holidays,
Linda

Caver Mike Frazier of Colorado has driven twice from Austin to Oaxaca
in the last two weeks. He reports no problems at the border or on the
highways. He was hauling equipment for the 2013 J2 expedition. -- Mixon

Below is an update on next year's International Congress of Speleology
(ICS). I'm expecting it to be a great event and lots of others agree. US
registration for this ICS is higher than any ICS to date outside of the US.
Below is an update, especially that details for submitting entries to the
ICS photo and art salons are now available.
Please share this message with anyone you think may be interested.
Thanks,
George

Subject: 16th ICS actual
Dear colleagues, Dear caving friends,
16th ICS will start in 7 month from now, and more than 400 people from 48
countries are already registered! We also received approximately 280
contributions for all Congress sessions! While it is early for many to
register, these numbers show the excellent diversity of people who will
attend the ICS!
I am also very happy to announce that there are additional details regarding
the photographic and art salons posted on the Congress website. You can find
it here: http://www.speleo2013.com/page/show/complementary_program
We welcome all your photographs and art works in this prestigious,
traditional, and global competition.
Additional details regarding the Cartographic salon and Spelemedia will
follow at later date.
Have a wonderful holiday season!
