Safe And Efficient Transportation Act (SEA

Over-the-road, or long-haul, truck drivers carry merchandise over state lines. In some cases, these drivers travel a consistent route, but others may work a variety of routes all over the country. Some commercial drivers specialize in carrying uncommon cargo, such as hazardous materials or cars. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), jobs for drivers of heavy and tractor-trailer trucks (including commercial trucks) were projected to increase 11% during the 2012-2022 decade. In May 2013, the BLS noted that the median annual salary for the field was $38,700. Commercial truck drivers must obtain a commercial driver's license to operate vehicles over 26,001 pounds of gross vehicle weight, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (www.fmcsa.dot.gov). Drivers of vehicles transporting hazardous materials or oversized cargo must also obtain special endorsements and a commercial driver's license (CDL) in their home state. The hazardous materials endorsement involves a knowledge test as well as a TSA (Transportation Security Administration) threat

Eighteen wheelers are a vital part of interstate commerce in our country. The big rigs carry products across state lines, and keep our stores’ shelves stocked with the things we need on a daily basis. But, when a trucker is involved in an accident, the injuries are usually catastrophic. The sheer weight of a truck is such that when it collides with a car, the results are severe. Drivers and passengers in cars can suffer broken bones, internal organ damage, spinal and brain cord injuries, or even death. Staying safe around big rigs requires drivers to pay extra special attention when near a truck, and to keep a safe distance. But, drivers can only do so much; it also takes diligence on the part of the trucker in order to safely share the road.

“AN ACT to discontinue, in such manner, and for or such time as are therein mentioned, the landing and discharging, landing or shipping, of goods, wares, and merchandise, at the town, and within the harbour, of Boston, in the province of Massachusetts Bay, in North America.”

Another time it has been used was with the Clean Air Act. The clean air act was a mandate put by the national government, that all of the states must follow, that is unless that states want to face fines by the government. The Clean air act is a federal law that was passed in an effort to regulate air emissions from mobile and immobile devices.

What if we end up with 2.5 million deaths worldwide caused by alcohol and a big bunch of stoned people with the munchies, maybe I should say a bunch of fat stoned people with diabetes and the munchies all calling in sick to work. Is it illegal to drive stoned in Colorado, do they have a marijuana breath test? We all know it is illegal to be drunk in public, is it illegal to be stoned in public. Can you get an open bag ticket like an open container ticket? Is anyone worried that kids will steal their parents pot just like they steal their Xanax and valium although I guess it could not be any worse for them then stealing the vodka and oxy from them. As an adult you can drink alcohol with your kids sitting right next to you at the dinner table

The Pacific Railway Act passed in 1862. Which paved the way for two companies-- the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific--to construct a railroad that would connect Omaha, Nebraska to the west coast. With this type of expansion the railroad became the easiest way of moving westward. Since this was the easiest form of transportation of goods the Western settlement increased and more railroads were built. It was also the easiest way to get goods to the market. This meant that the settlement revolved around where the different locations of the railroad depots would be built. Which in turn made the residents move their markets and ranches closer to a railroad so they could transport their goods. In turn the placement of the railroad depot forever

Both examples proved that transportation was an important factor for the decision, but in some counties and states that wasn't the case. Many had transportation development, but due to a lacking of large numbers and percentages within the other factors, they decided to not support the secession. As states as a whole, all of the states that supported the secession had some means of transportation. Due to the fact that states and counties want to be connected to the larger world economy, effective transportation,was very important. If the state decided to secede without that factor, it would have failed to produce enough economical

Terrorism has been one of the major concerns of the entire world; however, the incident of 9/11 entirely changed the perception of governments towards the issue of terrorism. In this regard, the United States of America has significantly improvised its approach towards dealing with terrorism. The approach of the U.S. is also justifiable as the United States is the only country that had to face the maximum ramifications caused by terrorism as thousands of people have lost their lives in multiple terrorist acts. Moreover, the U.S. has also tolerated the loss of billions of dollars in the shape of loss of capital, and investing in improved military and intelligence services. Despite of all these efforts, the U.S. has always felt the threat of terrorist activities; based on this fact, the government and legislature of the United States of America has enacted many acts of Congress to ensure the security of the residents, capital, and assets of the country. Out of various strategies to make United States a safer country, the Security and Accountability for Every (SAFE) Port Act in considered the most imperative yet debated topic among the politicians as well as the public of the U.S.

Pacific Railway Act, passed in 1862. This act promoted westward expansion by providing land to two companies--the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific--to construct a railroad that connected Omaha, Nebraska to the west coast. With the construction this meant that they would be going through

The SAFE Act is considered “reactionary” firearm legislation, essentially being rushed through to pass. It was designed to prevent criminals and the dangerously ill from purchasing firearms through a universal background check, and greatly affects mental health professionals. The SAFE Act did not get consideration from any mental health professionals though, and did not ask for their input. The Act required mental health professionals to report patients they believe are “likely to engage in conduct that would result in serious harm to self or others” to county authorities. Even if the professional believes the patient would benefit from treatment, and doesn’t even know if they have access to firearms, they must report them. The SAFE Act effectively

The Oil Pollution Act was established in 1990 in response to the Exxon Valdez oil spill in March 1989. The Oil Pollution Act placed the Federal Government in charge of management and control of oil spills, control of containment, removal and clean up efforts. This law holds who ever is deemed responsible for the oil spill to pay for the damages, containment, and clean up of the oil spill. In accordance with OPA90, an oil spill must be reported to the Federal Government. Upon reporting the oil spill to the government, BP reported that the well was leaking 1,000 barrels a day when it was discharging upwards of 40,000 barrels a day. Every deep-water drilling company is required to have what is called a contingency plan. A contingency plan

We think that daily spot hire rate will likely decrease next year. There are two reasons. First, there are 63 new vessels scheduled for delivery in 2001 to increase the supply of vessel and only few old vessels need to be retired, while the demand will not increase because imports of iron ore and coal would remain stagnant over next two years. Second, exhibit 5 shows that avg. spot rate of 2000 was higher than the rate of previous years and avg. 3-yr charter rate. In addition, the market will seemingly go up after two years. Therefore, ship owners should hope to sign short-term contract through using lower daily spot hire rate rather than locking low daily high rate for a long period.

We expect the daily hire rates to increase from 2001 to 2002, but then to decrease overall in the long term based on the assessment of the consulting firm. The consulting firm based their forecast on higher demand in iron ore shipments. They claim demand in iron ore shipments has historically shown a strong correlation with charter rates, and we believe this makes sense. Vessel size, distance of route, and demand for ore/coal are drivers of daily rates.

According to the NPV rule, Linn should not take up the project, because the NPV of the project is negative for both these two scenarios.
