  • DRAFT 8/8/2013 Updates at Chapter 40 -- Karstology
    Chapter 40 -- Karstology Characterizing the mechanism of cavern accretion as "force" tends to suggest catastrophic attack, not a process of subtle persistence. Publicity for Ohio's Olentangy Indian Caverns illustrates the misconception. Formed millions of years ago by the tremendous force of an underground river cutting through solid limestone rock, the Olentangy Indian Caverns. There was no tremendous event millions of years ago; it's been dissolution at a rate barely discernable, century to century. Another rendition of karst stages, this time in elevation, as opposed to cross-section. Juvenile Youthful Mature Complex Extreme 594 DRAFT 8/8/2013 Updates at http://www.unm.edu/~rheggen/UndergroundRivers.html Chapter 40 -- Karstology It may not be the water, per se, but its withdrawal that initiates catastrophic change in conduit cross-section. The figure illustrates stress lines around natural cavities in limestone. Left: Distribution around water-filled void below water table Right: Distribution around air-filled void after lowering water table. Natural Bridges and Tunnels Natural bridges begin as subterranean conduits, but subsequent collapse has left only a remnant of the original roof. "Men have risked their lives trying to locate the meanderings of this stream, but have been unsuccessful." Virginia's Natural Bridge, 65 meters above today's creek bed. George Washington is said to have surveyed Natural Bridge, though he made no mention it in his journals. More certain is that Thomas Jefferson purchased "the most sublime of nature's works," in his words, from King George III. Herman Melville alluded to the formation in describing Moby Dick, But soon the fore part of him slowly rose from the water; for an instant his whole marbleized body formed a high arch, like Virginia's Natural Bridge.

Box 17300 Fort Worth, Texas 76102-0300 Dear Mr. Brooks: This transmits the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (Service) biological opinion for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) proposed authorization under section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 U.S.C. 1251 – 1376) for activities that are part of the development of the New Braunfels Utilities (NBU) Comal Springs Conservation Center (CSCC) in New Braunfels, Comal County, Texas. The USACE is proposing authorization of partial removal of the concrete spring cap at the head of Comal Springs spring run 4 under a CWA Nationwide Permit. The spring cap modification is part of an 18-acre project to replace the NBU service yard with an educational facility focused on conservation. The NBU proposes to build the CSCC on its property near Landa Lake, Comal Springs spring run 4, and Blieders Creek. In accordance with section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), the USACE has determined this project may affect four listed endangered species: Peck’s cave amphipod (Stygobromus comalensis), Comal Springs dryopid beetle (Stygoparnus comalensis), Comal Springs riffle beetle (Heterelmis comalensis), and fountain darter (Etheostoma fonticola). In addition, the USACE has determined the project may affect federally designated critical habitat of Peck’s cave amphipod, Comal Springs dryopid beetle, and Comal Springs riffle beetle.

With 8 figures Cryptic diversity within and amongst spring-associated Stygobromus amphipods (Amphipoda: Crangonyctidae) JOSHUA Z. ETHRIDGE1*, J. RANDY GIBSON2 and CHRIS C. NICE1 1Department of Biology, Texas State University, 601 University Drive, San Marcos, TX 78666, USA 2San Marcos US Fish and Wildlife Service, San Marcos, TX, USA Received 3 May 2012; revised 14 September 2012; accepted for publication 24 September 2012 Multiple species of troglomorphic, spring-associated Stygobromus amphipods, including the endangered, narrow- range endemic Stygobromus pecki, occupy sites in the Edwards Plateau region of North America. Given the prevalence of cryptic diversity observed in disparate subterranean, animal taxa, we evaluated geographical genetic variation and tested whether Stygobromus contained undetected biodiversity. Nominal Stygobromus taxa were treated as hypotheses and tested with mitochondrial sequence cytochrome oxidase C subunit 1, nuclear sequence (internal transcribed spacer region 1), and AFLP data. Stygobromus pecki population structure and diversity was characterized and compared with congeners. For several Stygobromus species, the nominal taxonomy conflicted with molecular genetic data and there was strong evidence of significant cryptic diversity. Whereas S. pecki genetic diversity was similar to that of congeners, mitochondrial data identified two significantly diverged but sympatric clades. AFLP data for S. pecki indicated relatively recent and ongoing gene flow in the nuclear genome. These data for S. pecki suggest either a substantial history of isolation followed by current sympatry and ongoing admixture, or a protracted period of extremely large effective population size. This study demonstrates that Edwards Plateau Stygobromus are a complex, genetically diverse group with substantially more diversity than currently recognized.

Darnall Army Medical Center (CRDAMC) COL David Gibson 2018 TRICARE Changes On Jan. 1, 2018, historic reform began rolling out in the Military Health System (MHS). A new era in TRICARE support contracts will improve health care delivery and enhance medical readiness. Core features of our reforms include improved access, simplified administration, and a modernized health plan. As part of this reform, TRICARE costs have changed. Beneficiaries now fall into one of two groups. Beneficiaries whose sponsor's initial enlistment or appointment occurred before Jan. 1, 2018 are in Group A. Those whose sponsor's initial enlistment or appointment occurred after Jan. 1, 2018 are in Group B. (Note: Those in premium- based plans now have Group B cost-shares regardless of when their sponsor first joined the service. Premium-based plans are: TRICARE Reserve Select (TRS), TRICARE Retired Reserve (TRR), TRICARE Young Adult (TYA), and Continued Health Care Benefit Program (CHCBP). In addition, more preventive services will be covered under TRICARE Select at no cost than were covered under TRICARE Standard and Extra if they are provided by a network provider. 2018 TRICARE Pharmacy Changes Beginning February 1, 2018, TRICARE pharmacy copayments will be changing for all beneficiaries, except Active Duty Service Members (ADSMs), dependent survivors of ADSMs, and medically retired service members and their dependents. The changes are required by United States federal law, with the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018. Copayments for generic drugs, brand name drugs, and non-formulary drugs are increasing across the retail and home delivery points of service.
