The theme of the 31st US Symposium on Rock Mechanics is 'Rock
Mechanics contributions and challenges', having as objective the
examination and quantification of the progress that has been
achieved in addressing the major practical challenges facing the
science of rock mechanics and mine design. The 124 papers included
in the proceedings cover areas such as: experimental studies
(laboratory and field); conceptual, analytical, and numerical
modeling; design and construction methods. 35 papers deal with
practical mining problems and include information on rock
reinforcement technology, blasting, rock bursts, open pit mining,
remote sensing and borehole geophysics, mechanical fragmentation,
and subsidence. Areas emphasized are coal and metal mine design
problems. Other papers deal with the newest computer models, new
instruments, fracture mechanics, new laboratory testing techniques,
and in situ testing.
G.A. Johnson's debut novel mixes spirituality and with the
brutality and filth of street life and addiction.
Life after witnessing his father's murder at the hands of the
Klan was a narcotic waste land that took Murphy Johnson from
Neshoba County, Mississippi to Denver, Colorado. He was the man the
world walked around; he held a blank cardboard sign, and his eyes
were a frozen river. Nothing seemed to move on the surface, but the
water was flowing beneath an expression frosted over by
four-decades of drugs, alcohol, and concrete beds. Until he
reemerged into consciousness under a tree in Civic Center Park.
The Shiner explores the gamut of political chasms in society.
The man the world walked around becomes the man who changes the
world around him. Murphy is entangled in the lives of an ensemble
cast of street dwellers, suburbanites and aristocrats. Besides
fighting the ghosts of his past and the desire to fall back into
addiction, he fights for survival on the streets and in the world
of his new employer-an escort service pimp. Villains are not what
they seem and the innocent are less than so, but Murphy embraces
them all with a child's love-even the man who is trying to kill
him.
