...FBI's No. 2 Was 'Deep Throat' By David Von Drehle Deep Throat, the secret source whose insider guidance was vital to The Washington Post's groundbreaking coverage of the Watergate scandal, was a pillar of the FBI named W. Mark Felt, The Post confirmed yesterday. As the bureau's second- and third-ranking official during a period when the FBI was battling for its independence against the administration of President Richard M. Nixon, Felt had the means and the motive to help uncover the web of internal spies, secret surveillance, dirty tricks and coverups that led to Nixon's unprecedented resignation on Aug. 9, 1974, and to prison sentences for some of Nixon's highest-ranking aides. Felt's identity as Washington's most celebrated secret source had been an object of speculation for more than 30 years until yesterday, when his role was revealed by his family in a Vanity Fair magazine article. Even Nixon was caught on tape speculating that Felt was "an informer" as early as February 1973, at a time when Deep Throat was supplying confirmation and context for some of The Post's most explosive Watergate stories. But Felt's repeated denials, and the stalwart silence of the reporters he aided -- Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein -- kept the cloak of mystery drawn up around Deep Throat. In place of a name and a face, the source acquired a magic and a mystique. He was the romantic truth teller half hidden in the shadows of a Washington area parking...

...Antecedentes Deep Purple una empresa dedicada a la comercialización de equipos de sonido cambia su estrategia la misma que le causaba ganancias modestas con ventas canceladas de la siguiente manera: efectivo, tarjeta de crédito y ventas a crédito con vencimiento a 30 días, registra también cuentas incobrables por un valor mínimo de un 1%. La compañía con el objetivo de conseguir mayores ventas implementa una nueva política de crédito en la empresa denominada “Doble Cero” la misma que consiste en entregar a los clientes las mercancías sin entrada y sin intereses a un periodo de un año cuyas cuotas son el resultado únicamente de dividir el valor para doce meses. Esta nueva política incrementa las ventas significativamente pero provoca un flujo de efectivo muy pobre de manera que la empresa enfrenta dificultades en el momento de cancelar a los proveedores quienes únicamente otorgan 30 días de crédito. La empresa al enfrentar este problema desea encontrar si es o no rentable dicha política implementada y cuales serian sus consecuencias. Con este objetivo se plantea una proyección con la que se pretende conocer que tan sostenible es dicha política, consecuencias y posibles efectos para con ello tomar decisiones importantes dentro de la empresa. Primeramente se hace una proyección totalmente conservadora de la implementación de este caso sin un incremento en las ventas para estimar los valores más bajos posibles, contrario a ello se realiza un cuadro de proyección del 5.2% para determinar...

...What is Deep Vein Thrombophlebitis/Thrombosis (DVT)? It is categorized as peripheral neurovascular dysfunction. DVT generates from a thrombus, a blood clot that can result from an injury to the tissues or in a patient that has quick- clotting factors in their blood. When a thrombus is present, the body replies with an inflammatory response. The response mechanism is called thrombophlebitis. DVT occurs deeper in the veins and can be serious, potentially causing a life-threatening condition called a Pulmonary Embolus (PE). DVT prophylaxis etiology The etiology for DVT prophylaxis is typically high-risk patients, to include those who have had hip surgery, knee arthroscopy or open prostatectomy. However, other risk factors such as prolonged periods...

...Home, The Deep Blue Sea Leaving home was probably one of my biggest fears of my life. Stepping out of Texas, with only a back pack and the clothes on my back, and going into a whole new world. The United States Navy helps several people become independent to: see the other side of the picture, discover one’s weaknesses, teach how to build up financially and helps many become stronger physically but also emotionally. On the other hand, the Navy also destroyed sailors, soldiers and airmen’s sanity. Deployments not only destroyed my mind set; it destroyed several other people’s and many of their relationships, which most civilians will never understand why or even how. There I was, May 5th, arriving at aircraft carrier the USS Carl Vinson, fresh out of boot camp and I’m amazed at how huge this ship is. “Here’s your rack, Moreno. When you finish putting away your uniforms, Lawson will help you get to the mess decks.” Rack, enclosed bed, three walls, and a curtain for privacy from everyone else’s racks. The spaces between you and the person sleeping across from you was not even the length of your arms spread out. Our first deployment was just to get “Around The Horn”, around South America, because our duty station changed from Norfolk, Virginia, to San Diego, California. Our second deployment was six months long, probably the longest six months I’ve ever experienced. We were on a ship, more a city. It houses about 5,000 sailors. Just imagine the lines for “chow”, showers, computers...

...article describes ‘deep smarts’ as business expertise gained through years of experience that makes the individual able to make wise, quick strategic and tactical decisions. Deep smarts cannot always be easily attained as most experts that possess them don’t always realize they possess this expertise. Deep smarts consist of skilled ways of thinking, decision making, and behaving that consistently result in success for the individuals that possess them. They are more than just facts and information that anyone is privy to; deep smarts go beyond the surface level and mainly come from experiences. Not everyone can possess these skills. Deep smarts are usually only found in select individuals. Deep smarts are almost more valuable because of the fact that they cannot necessarily be developed on one’s own without observing and shadowing an individual that already has them. No person with deep smarts is exactly the same because their deep smarts are a result of their individual life experiences, education, and mind-set. Because deep smarts are not just consistent of your typical knowledge that anyone could obtain through a degree or minimal experience, it is rare to come across employees that posses this expertise. Deep smarts are developed through experiences, and most individuals don’t know that they have them. These skills result in the natural ability to respond quickly and tactfully to situations that individuals might be presented with, and make the person with deep smarts an asset...

...Management : Controlling When all is said and done, which may not be for many years, it’s likely to be one of the worst environmental disasters, if not the worst, in U.S. history. When British Petroleum’s (BP) Deepwater Horizon off-shore rig-yung machine sa planta nagkukuha ng oil sa sea in the Gulf of Mexico exploded in a ball of flames on April 20, 2010, killing 11 employees, it set in motion frantic efforts to stop the flow of oil and to initiate the long and arduous cleanup process. Although the impacts of the explosion and oil spill were felt most intensely by businesses and residents along the coast and by coastal wildlife, those of us inland who watched the disaster unfold were also stunned and dismayed by what we saw happening. What led to this disaster and what can BP do to ensure that the likelihood of it ever happening again is minimized? One thing that has come to light in the disaster investigation is that it’s no surprise that something like this happened. After Hurricane Dennis blew through in July 2005, a passing ship was shocked to see BP’s new massive $1 billion Thunder Horse oil platform “listing precariously-hindi nasa ayos yung thunder horse oil platform to one side, looking for all the world as if it were about to sink.” Thunder Horse “was meant to be the company’s crowning glory, the embodiment of its bold gamble to outpace its competitors in finding and exploiting the vast reserves of oil beneath the waters of the gulf.” But the problems with this...

...Arlaina Reeves Prof. Vega ENC 1101 30 October 2014 Skin Deep Different skin tones get certain privileges than others. Back in the days “Whites” (Caucasian) didn’t really care for “Blacks” (African-Americans). They bought them over from Africa as slaves treated them poorly and sold them off as if they were nothing. People today in certain parts of the world African-American people are looked down upon and judged because of the color of their skin. Racism is a very powerful word and it has a disturbing meaning behind it. Of course, everyone interrupts this word differently so there are different meanings. According to the dictionary, racism has three different meanings. The first being, a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various humanraces determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others. The second, a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination. And finally, hatred or intolerance of another race or other races. So, all these meaning of the word racism are mostly the same but that was the dictionary’s view on the word not people. One may feel that the word is very an act of harm doing to those of a different nationality or culture. Thus, the word’s definition may different from someone’s personal meaning and the dictionary. Racism was popular in the 1800s and early to mid-1900s. Yes it still exist but not as...

...The summary of the Deep… Everyone used to think that the bottom floor was a mystery. Many scientists were baffled as how it looks like and the map details of it. In fact it was said that mars was more known than the ocean floors. It was not until German scientist Alfred Wegener came up with the idea after extensive research and travelling. He had finally collected enough samples to conclude that all dry lands were once one continent called Pangea. This continent broke up 200 millions years ago and drifted to their present positions. He reasoned that south America and Africa were once connected with many evidence to back up his theory he pointed out the ancient climate similarities, fossil evidence and similarity of rock structures. Years later this theory was finally accepted and Mateen de Wit an ecologists one of whom also found his theory to be correct as all the proofs of fossils and rocks in the ocean of south America and Africa shared some similarities. Also marine geologists Joe Cann, found this to be true from his findings regarding undulation of ocean floor from time to time. During the cold war, submarines were commonly used. By both the Americans and the Soviets, but in order for the submarines to travel safely through the unknown deep seas, a map of the ocean floor must be made to guide these submarines. So American oceanographer Bruce Heezen and Marie Tharp and others prepared maps of the ocean floor and the mid-atlantic ridge and rift system, a mountainous chain...

...In the film “Skin Deep,” Nina Jablonski theorized that variation in human skin color is due to the environmental factors of geography and the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, not race. Skin pigmentation is important to human health because it developed as the body’s way of balancing its need for vitamin D and folate. Because human skin color correlates closely with annual levels of UV radiation levels based on geography, the skin needs to have the correct pigmentation in order to endure the UV light from the sun.

...GEO 1000, Natural Disasters Movie Worksheet: Deep Impact 1. Who discovers the comet? Do you think that is likely? A teenage amateur astronomer Leo Biederman discovers the comet. He discovers the unusual object between the Mizar and Alcor stars while at a party with his friends from the astronomy club. He tells his teacher, who in turn alerts Dr. Marcus Wolf, an astronomer, who realizes that it is a comet set to collide with Earth. It is unlikely that a comet so bright and a year from reaching Earth had not been discovered by any other astronomer. In addition, comets do not move very fast across the sky, so it would have taken a long time to get as bright as the Mizar. 2. How long does the government wait after the discovery of the comet to tell the public? Do you think this is an appropriate amount of time? The government waits for a year since discovery to alert the public. This is prompted by a resignation of the Secretary of Treasury, Alan Rittenhouse. Jenny Lerner probes the story and finds herself facing the FBI. She later learns that the resignation was due to an “Extinction Level Event” and President Tom Beck makes the announcement. The government holds discretion to disclosure for disasters, especially if it is extinction level events. They had given themselves enough time to attempt to mitigate the issue and once the resignation triggered public curiosity, it was prudent to let the public know. It should be noted that by this time, they also unveiled a...

...Angela Shaw Pre-Collegiate Studies-Reading and Writing Mr. Max Stephan Due: July 11, 2011 “DEEP WATER” For many people, the place that comes to mind when hearing the word “immigration” is America. But many wonder, just what kind of place America is. America is an Idea that we call “Democracy”, and we see what happens when we let people say whatever they want, go wherever they want, and do whatever they want. The results aren't always pretty but it certainly is a beautiful idea. Such is why America has the greatest influx of illegal immigrants crossing its boarders, especially along the Mexi-Cali and Texas boarders in search of the “American Dream.” This is what makes illegal immigrants risk their lives, leave their families, and their own homeland in which they love so much, only to find that that dream can abruptly come to a halt once confronted by a swat-team of border patrol officers. Suddenly that dream seem to have sank deep in the harsh waters that they had struggled so hard to get across. “America must be kept American”, sighted by President Coolidge at the singing of the immigration quota law in 1924. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the control over who was admitted into the United States was controlled by individual colonies. This was done in order to build the country or by the need to keep out undesirables. The laws were clear that the immigrant must be self-supporting and desired...

...New Hampshire Primary After observing Donald Trump’s speech at the New Hampshire Primary on Tuesday, February 9th, I feel like I gained some interesting insight into his actual character from his physical movements as well as his word choice. Aside from differing political ideologies, it is easy to see how someone may interpret his actions in a negative way. Initially, Trump thanks his friends and family for their support. I noticed that he holds his mouth in a way such that he appears to be smirking. This could also just be from being happy and excited. He shakes hands and garners mixed responses from the audience; half boos and half chants of “USA.” Either way, his mannerisms result in an immediate and spirited response from the audience. His suit is ruffled and tie crooked, perhaps indicating that he has been interacting with people asking him difficult questions all day. It intrigues me how his face maintains a seemingly arrogant position, his tone nearly cynical. He has no reason not to be. With a background in economics and the gift of gab, he has been able to amass an impressive fortune without squandering it like NFL players. I feel as if years of spearheading successful business ventures and mitigating the financial spider web entangling all of us has left him a bit like a grandpa who wants to tell his cool war stories but instead projects them on his face. This exuberance also makes him notoriously difficult to negotiate with. If a foreign power actually threatened...

...choice of system depends on a variety of factors including soil type, groundwater, retained height, deflections, propping arrangement, design life, etc. Advantages • Maximum underground space; with minimum bulk excavation • Adaptable to complex wall layouts • Control of ground movements and groundwater • Wide range of wall thicknesses and capability • Can be installed in restricted working space. • Can be designed to carry long term vertical loads • Cost and time saving plus health and safety benefits when combined with patented Cementation precast guide/capping beam. Large and small diameter bored cast-in-place piles are often used to construct efficient and economic temporary or permanent retaining walls. These walls are suitable for deep basements, underpasses, tunnel portals and other underground structures particularly where working space is limited and adjacent structures require support. They minimise bulk excavation and help to control ground movements and groundwater ingress. Three distinct bored pile wall systems are in current use: • Contiguous pile wall • Secant pile wall – hard/soft or hard/firm • Secant pile wall – hard/hard The choice of system depends on a number of factors. These include soil type, ground water profile, retained heights, available construction time, propping arrangement, cost and design life. Piles can be constructed using cased rotary or continuous flight auger (CFA) methods. Where working space is limited, minipiling techniques 24/09/09 Rev...
