The ransomware attack should have been routine. It never is. When a cryptographic signature buried inside criminal malware matches code from a classified government program that no longer exists, FBI Cyber analyst Jade Morales doesn't just find a case - she finds a catastrophe. A decommissioned black operation. A traitor with a security clearance. And a body count climbing across American hospitals, water systems, and city grids. Now the people who should have her back are working against her. Her clearance is gone. Her supervisor can't be trusted. The one source brave enough to talk is dead. Jade has no badge, no bureau, and no margin for error - only a rogue threat-intelligence analyst, a trail of encrypted breadcrumbs, and the kind of conviction that makes her the most dangerous person in the room. Fast-paced, technically razor-sharp, and relentlessly tense, Dark Propagation is a thriller that exposes what happens when the architect of a weapon becomes its most convenient casualty. When the government is the crime scene, someone still has to work the case. Pick up your copy today.

This paper details a Transportation Pooled Fund Study, TPF-5(307), that included Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon (lead state), Washington, and the Federal Highway Administration. The research goal was to update guidelines as a foundation for review by the respective AASHTO sub-committee(s). This report focused on bridges for the Western United States. Five major efforts were completed: 1. Updated probabilistic tsunami hazard mapping to include wave-heights, velocities, and inundation levels at the 1000-year recurrence interval. This was completed for all aforementioned states at varying detail (10m through 60m); 2. Uncertainties and bias between models were examined to find areas where they agree and potential areas where the study could identify conservative estimates for optimization. 3. Analysis of site-specific tsunami hazards was developed. Two methods (level 1 and level 2) are presented to detail local tsunami hydrodynamics; 4. Loading are detailed and recommendations for equations presented based on research findings. Three load cases, including conditions showing upward lift were modeled and equated. Bridge skew, slope, and super-elevation were examined. Debris was considered. 5. Geotechnical considerations were also discussed.
