Superfund is the name given to the environmental program established to address abandoned hazardous waste sites. It is also the name of the fund established by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980. This law was put in place due to the discovery of toxic waste dumps such as Love Canal and Times Beach in the 1970s. It allows the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to clean up these sites and to hold responsible parties accountable to conduct cleanups or reimburse the government for EPA lead cleanups.

To say that World War II ended because “Truman dropped the bomb” is merely convenient shorthand used by historians in their historical narratives. The actual sequence of events leading up to the actual detonation of the first and second atomic bombs is far more complex. As stated by Davidson and Lytle, “The difference in meaning between ‘Truman dropped the atom bomb’ and what actually happened encapsulates the dilemma of a historian trying to portray the workings of a systematized,
• Net Carrying value of nonrecourse debt is $4.0 million. • $0.1 million of net working capital (carried at fair value) directly attributed to the cruise ship. • Discount rate According to Smooth Sailing is 7%. How should Smooth Sailings’ management perform the recoverability test for the cruise ship as of December 31, 2010?

When our team was originally asked to optimize the current operations, we were given the following table of demand data: 1996 Demand (Thousands B/D) Area Gasoline Distillate Australia 9.0 21.0 Japan 3.0 12.0 Philippines 5.0 8.0 New Zealand 5.4 8.7 Total 22.4 49.7 In addition to the amount demanded, one of the other key considerations that needed to be taken into account are the types of crude oil being processed, the distance that the finished product has to be shipped and the market to which the gasoline or distillate is being sold. This information is in the table below: Refinery Costs and Yields Costs Yields (BBL Output per Crude BBL Input) Cost of Crude Inc. Ship. Cost Inc. Ref. Cost Total

The Keystone XL Pipeline: It’s a Good Thing By: Samantha Prewitt The Keystone XL Pipeline: It’s a Good Thing The Keystone XL Pipeline Project is a proposed crude oil pipeline that begins in Hardisty, Alberta, Canada, crosses through an international border and ends in Steele City, Nebraska. From here it connects with existing pipelines, which will allow American oil producers more access to the large refining areas located in the Midwest and along the US Gulf Coast. It has been six years since TransCanada has applied for approval for this project and the project itself has gone through three revisions, including two reroutes of the pipeline itself. This article will attempt to dissect the benefits of the Keystone XL project and what it
