Executive summary To maintain prominent competence in heavy truck manufacturing industry, our company, PACCAR, needs to upgrade major lines to the most efficient and advanced technologies. There are two options to be considered: purchasing technologies from outside providers or developing the technologies by the company itself. As a financial analyst, I evaluate those two options by calculating and analyzing MIRR, NPV, IRR, payback period and PI for each alternative. My analysis indicates that developing the technologies in house is more optimal as it outperforms the other alternative on all measurements. And among all measurements, MIRR is the best one in this case.

Lastly it states that how can we improve coordination and communication among all levels of government and the public in the fight against terrorism. A central argument that is clearly stated is that how are we bettering the systems that we have in place to help us better defend ourselves from terrorist attacks. I convinced that the study was worth doing because the author explains the difference in what we was doing in the past and how we took those security measures and develop a better system for the present but using those past experiences in a matter that we are able to develop a better system also. Using the past and present terrorist attacks can enable us to have better systems for our future and perhaps ensuring our people have a safer place to live for them and our children. From what the author has stated is that, Homeland Security is improving the National Warning Systems in order to improve coordination and communication and also improving on the Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS and the National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) but I believe that the National Terrorism Advisory System has a great

With the turn of a more complex century, where presidential power continues to grow with each term, it becomes crucial to analyze the actions of past presidents to prevent an imbalance within American government. Part of this growth in the presidency might be explained as the inevitable result of progression. As the United States increased in international presence, the federal government needed to simultaneously expand its diplomatic presence, a role best suited for the President himself.

Informed and rational decisions can be reached through the understanding of how complex technological systems can impact the environment, our economy, our politics, and ultimately our culture. Skyrocketing fuel prices, unprecedented home foreclosures, rising unemployment, escalating food prices, increasing climate disasters, and the continued war on two fronts have prompted greater public support for renewed offshore drilling for oil. A Gallup poll conducted in May of 2008 found that 57 percent of respondents favored such drilling, while 41 percent were opposed (Wangsness, 2008). The political landscape is also being changed in favor of offshore drilling, with the results of a Zogby poll (Zogby International has been tracking public opinion
