Nye County, Nevada is the first of a series of books on Mines of the American West. Containing over 2,100 entries, Nye County and others will consolidate data on historical and modern mines in the county, for the use of small miners, “rockhounds”, metal-detector enthusiasts, hikers, campers, off-roaders and others. Data on Ghost Towns has been added to further develop the understanding of the reader of the mining areas and the conditions that the miners lived in. Lost Treasure information has been included to alert the reader to the possibility of a potential “unexpected bonus” should they be visiting areas suspected as “hiding spots” or locations where value was lost. Modern GPS coordinates have been associated with most records to allow the reader to do a little “prospecting from their computer”, using available on-line tools such as Google Earth. This allows the reader to pursue their interests when the weather is bad or they only have limited blocks of time. It also will allow the reader to maximize their use of time when they can physically visit the areas. To support such visits and maximize their value to the participant, many of the mines have been associated with the Mining Districts where they are found, allowing the reader to plan a trip to a number of mines, or have back-ups if the primary visit is a “bust”.

Lt. Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels has seen humanity at its most depraved and terrifying. She's lost loved ones. Come close to death countless times. But she always manages to triumph over evil. Luther Kite is humanity at its most depraved and terrifying. He's committed unthinkable acts. Taken human life for the sheer pleasure of it. He is a monster among monsters, and no one has ever caught him. Each is the best at what they do. Peerless. Unmatched. Until now... In Luther's experience, people are weak. Even the strong and fearless break too easily. He wants a challenge, and sets his depraved sights on Jack. But with a baby on the way, Jack is at her most vulnerable. She's always been a fighter, but she's never had so much to fight for. So he's built something especially for Jack. His own private ninth circle of hell--a nightmare world in a forgotten place from which no one has ever escaped. It's J.A. Konrath's greatest heroine versus Blake Crouch's greatest villain in Stirred, the stunning conclusion to both Konrath's Lt. Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels thriller series and Crouch's Andrew Z. Thomas series. Only one can survive. And it won't be who you think.

Interview: J.A. Konrath & Blake Crouch Blake Crouch: So rumor has it this is the last Jack Daniels novel. [Jack also appears in Shot of Tequila, Shaken, Serial Killers Uncut, and Flee.] J.A. Konrath: Rumor also has it this is the last Andrew Z. Thomas/Luther Kite novel. [They also appear in Desert Places, Locked Doors, Break You, and Serial Killers Uncut.] BC: So...are the rumors true? JAK: You tell me. BC: Pretty much. Yes. Yes, they are 100 percent true. JAK: Well, what if they offered us a lot of money to write another book? BC: No way. We've discussed this. We're done. But just for the sake of argument--how much are we talking? Continue reading J.A. Konrath & Blake Crouch's interview about Stirred

This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A508104. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The United States Nuclear Detonation Detection System (USNDS) relies on sensors onboard NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites to detect atmospheric nuclear detonations. Though there are currently over 24 operational GPS satellites, USNDS ground based antennas are only capable of actively monitoring 24 satellites at a time. Personnel at the Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC) desire a well-defined methodology for selecting which 24 satellites should be monitored to maximize global coverage capability. This research introduces a means to numerically quantify each satellites individual contribution to the coverage provided by the constellation as a whole. A heuristic generates a set of possible combinations of satellites that yield high global coverage.
