No Clues in the Ashes
This former firefighter, turned author, brings you a story that's close to his heart. Mike Flanagan was a young man, fresh out of high school and off his parents Minnesota farm, when he made his way to Minneapolis to find his role in life. Mired in a factory job he hates, he is on his way home one day when he comes upon a house on fire, and learns that there are kids trapped upstairs. In a daring recue he saves their lives, not knowing that they are the kids of a Minneapolis fire fighter named Deacon Crawford. With Deacon's help and encouragment, Mike joins the Minneapolis Fire Department. He finds a career filled with danger and adventure, and he also finds Laura Evans, who steals his heart, and then disappears. Mike turns from firefighting to investagation, and the pursuit of a pyromaniac named David Bennett. He is as obsessed with catching Bennett, as Bennett is with destroying Mike. Always, though, there is a flame in his heart he can't put out. Her name is Laura.

Justice for Adam
Justice for Adam is a compelling and rewarding story for anyone who has been disappointed by the legal system. Adam Holton had everything he wanted in life. A budding career and a good life in a small town he loved so much. The real prize for him however was Mandy, his beautiful betrothed friend. Then just like that she was abducted, brutalized and murdered, and Adams world as he knew it, came to a screeching halt. His only consolation was to see the man who did it punished in a court of law. It was not to happen, however, and the perpetrator was released on a technicality with the help of his shrewd lawyer. Adam was enraged, and then he snapped and took the law into his own hands. He became the fugitive, instead of the man who had killed his sweetheart and ruined his life. Sometimes however justice is served in strange ways in small town America, where bloodlines and feelings can come to the surface and wrongs get made into rights.

He couldn't forget the many years of living life on the edge that he?d once led, and how now, it seemed he had little purpose in life. Than came a chance to go back and work on a cold case. It was a case that had eluded him for years, and the one ?blemish? on his stellar record. They said it was ?new evidence evidence that would shed a convincing light on who had done it?and so the hunt was back on. Then, along with the evidence, came a new twist. The man, whom he had pursued for so many years, looked more and more innocent with each passing day. Suddenly, he was pursuing him, not to convict him, but to help...

Then Cassie came into Barts life and they fell in love, and Bart got this ultimatum from his soon to be bride. Pick Thurwood and climbing or me. However, there was one more mountain to climb before he could willingly put his axe and crampons away and marry Cassie. There would be one last climb for Bart and Thurwood and the mountain was Alaskas Denali. Its the beast on the edges of the Arctic Circle and one of the most formidable peaks Bart or any climber has ever encountered. You only get to the top, if the mountain lets you.

Minneapolis was a city that gave him a lot of challengesbut he was always up for it. Through it all, he tried to remain personally uninvolved with his cases and their victims, but that all changed one cold Christmas Eve. Mathew Halsworth Jr. was born with no moral compass. He was rich and intelligent and had every break in life one could ever want or need. But he grew up to be a ruthless, cold and uncaring born killer. He felt he was too cunning to get caught, and for a long time he was. That is, until he met Torch. While most detectives would have given up and stuffed this case in the cold case file, Torch could not and would not forget. He could forget a lot of victims, but not this one. This story will challenge your imagination with its many twist and turns, but in the end; no, Im not going to go there. Read the bookyou will be surprised.

The Best of Mike’S Meandering Mind
In August of 2007, I started writing a weekly column for my hometown newspaper, the Northland Press. This book is a collection of those essays published over the years. They depict everything from life itself to my roots; nature, pet stories, holidays of the year, fishing, hunting, sports, eulogies, and memories of days gone by. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them. Mike Holst
Languages and Compilers for Parallel Computing
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 15th International Workshop on Languages and Compilers for Parallel Processing, LCPC 2002, held in College Park, MD, USA in July 2002. The 26 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 32 submissions. All current issues in parallel processing are addressed, in particular memory-constrained computation, compiler optimization, performance studies, high-level languages, programming language consistency models, dynamic parallelization, parallelization of data mining algorithms, parallelizing compilers, garbage collection algorithms, and evaluation of iterative compilation.
