Without exception, we have found her to be industrious, dedicated, efficient, and of unflagging good humor. Fully half of the publications listed in this brochure couldn't have been produced without her. STATE OF ALASKA For over 20 years, Bobbi has routinely typed (and corrected) Tony Knowles, Governor all the sesquipedalian buzzwords in the geologist's lexicon, from allochthonous to zeugogeosyncline (with stops at DEPARTMENT OF hypabyssal and poikiloblastic)-without having even the NATURAL RESOURCES remotest idea of their meaning. John T. Shively, Commissioner DIVISION OF GEOLOGICAL & Such zeal. Bobbi has spent most of her adult life typing error- GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS free documents about an arcane subject she knows virtually Milton A. Wiltse, Acting Director and nothing about. If, at the end of her career, someone would ask State Geologist her what she spent the last few decades typing, I'm positive Bobbi would shyly smile and say, "I'm not really sure. Some- Publication of DCCS reports is required by thing about rocks." Alaska Statute 41, "to determine the poten- tial ofAlaskan land for production of metals, minerals, fuels, and geothermal resources; Now THAT'S dedication. the location and supplies of groundwater and construction materials; the potential geologic hazardsto buildings, roads, bridges, and other installations and structures; and .

They are formal and informal articles and reports predominantly about mining and mineral assessments. These publications are listed alphabetically by author. Prices listed are for photocopies. Pamphlets (PN) The pamphlets were developed by the Department of Mines in Alaska's territorial days. During World War II the study of strategic minerals became a nationalpriority. After World War I1 the need to develop materials for potential new industries led to the study of industrialminerals such as limestoneandasbestos. Thesepamphlets are out ofprint Prices listed are for photocopies. Professional Reports (PR) Professional Reports (PK)serve to communicate new data andoriginalideas to other earth scientists. Two characteristics separate the Professional Report from the other categories of DGGS documents: (a) the PR is the completed product of original research and analyses; and (b)professionalcartography and thorough peer review, editing, and revision to ensure accuracy. Professional Reports are sold at cost Public-Data Files (PDF) The objective of the Public-Data File (PDF) series is to make project data available to the public as soon as possible. To expedite information release, PDFs are not reviewed or edited. ldentification numbers reflect the year of publication. Some numbers have been skipped in the sequence of numbers (for example, PDFs 84-1 through 84-9): reports do not exist for these missing numbers. Prices are determined by reproduction (photocopy, blueline, or on-demand color plot from electronic file, 400 dpi) costs. Publications Available on Disk Some of the publications listed in this section are available only on disk, some are avail- able on paper or on disk, and others use both paper and disk for one report. All floppy disks were prepared on IBM or IBM-compatible computers with math coprocessors. All are in ASCII format. Unless an order specifies otherwise, 3 %-inch disks will be sent Most of the files are compressed and a copy of the decompression program is provided.

Project Description/Justification: The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), proposes to start the final step toward constructing access from Revillagigedo (Revilla) Island to Gravina Island in Southeast Alaska. It is intended to provide a roadway link from Ketchikan to Gravina Island across the Ralph M. Bartholomew Veterans' Memorial Bridges over two channels of Tongass Narrows. Pennock Island in the Narrows is also now accessible. The proposed Gravina Island Highway begins as the Airport Access Road at the Ketchikan International Airport parking lot on Gravina Island and extends south around the end of the present day runway and up the hill to an intersection with Gravina Island Highway and Lewis Reef Road.

  • The Folly of Wisdom Preacher: Rev
    The Folly of Wisdom Preacher: Rev. Jill Olds Date: February 23, 2014 20:29 Let us pray. Holy One, guide our hearts towards compassion, and guide our minds towards understanding. And may the words of my mouth and the meditations of all of our hearts and minds together be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord our Rock and our Redeemer, through Jesus Christ we pray, Amen. In September of 2008, on a tiny strip of land in Alaska known as Gravina Island, workers put down their shovels, and parked their steamrollers for the last time. The road was completed. And this was not just any road. The road now known as Gravina Island Highway was nearly thirty years in the making—research began in the 1980s, the intention being to connect the nearby town of Ketchikan with the airport located on the island, about a mile and a half away, thus eliminating the need for a ferry service that carried some 350,000 people every year. The completed road—3.2 miles long—started at the airport and was destined to be connected to the Gravina Island Bridge. Except, herein lies the rub. If you go visit the road today, you’ll start at the airport and, 3.2 miles later, you’ll wind up in a dead-end cul-de-sac. The bridge, which was to cost a whopping $398 million, was never approved of by Congress, and so the project has been indefinitely shelved. But here’s the real kicker—the powers-that-be in Alaska knew before the road was begun that the bridge would never be constructed.

    The Invisible Crowd: Individual and Multitude in Roberto Bolaño’s 2666 by Francisco Brito A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Francine Masiello, Chair Professor Estelle Tarica Professor Tom McEnaney Summer 2018 The Invisible Crowd: Individual and Multitude in Roberto Bolaño’s 2666 ¬ 2018 Francisco Brito 1 Abstract The Invisible Crowd: Individual and Multitude in Roberto Bolaño’s 2666 by Francisco Brito Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature University of California, Berkeley Professor Francine Masiello, Chair This dissertation argues that Roberto Bolaño’s novel 2666 offers us a new way of thinking about the relationship between the individual and the multitude in the globalized world. I argue that the novel manages to capture the oppressive nature of its structures not by attempting to represent them directly but instead by telling the stories of individuals who feel especially alienated from them. These characters largely fail to connect with one another in any lasting way, but their brief encounters, some of which take place in person, others through reading, have pride of place in a text that, I propose, constitutes a brief on behalf of the marginal and the forgotten in its overall form: it is an example of the novel as an ever-expanding, multitudinous crowd; it strives to preserve the singularity of each of its members while at the same time suggesting that the differences between them are less important than their shared presence within a single narrative whole.
