Bashir, a Palestinian defector, claims he has information for Homeland Security. All he needs is a covert American team to smuggle him out of the Middle East. But Israel’s top- secret Mossad needs information from Bashir too. The situation is the perfect opportunity for rogue elements of the CIA to set a trap for the Unit. They’ll send Sergeant Major Jonas Blane’s team and Mosaad agents to collect Bashir at the same time, to force a stand-off. The result: the end of the elite counter-terrorist team.

She doesn’t need a man in her life. But she will, very soon... CIA K-9 officer Sgt. Matt Connors suspects that beneath Trista’s uptight appearance, there’s a sexy woman itching to cut loose. But he doesn’t dare act on his attraction. He’s a loner and always will be. Keeping away from Trista is a must-do directive. Until he doesn’t have a choice... During a routine assignment, Trista stumbles across a cryptic exchange. She doesn’t think much of it...until someone tries to murder her—twice. Both times, Matt had been there to save her. But now she has to hide. And her new bodyguard, Matt, and his K-9 are the only hope she has against the powerful forces that want her dead.

The replacement of Locks and Dam 26, Upper Mississippi River at Alton, Illinois, has been an extremely controversial project. One of the central points of this controversy is the capacity of these locks to process the traffic transiting this portion of the waterway system; the capacity is measured in tons of commodities moved by the tows passing through these locks. The determination of a capacity value for Locks and Dam 26 and adjacent locks is the subject of this report. Methods of determining the capacity of a lock are discussed in the first part of the report. Consideration of all factors influencing a lock's capacity and the interrelationship of these factors are discussed. Based on this consideration and the interest shown in having an easy-to-apply, straightforward method for calculating lock capacities, a new methodology for computing lock capacities was developed and is presented herein. Results from such a computation are compared with those obtained using a simulation modeling approach.
