Oklahoma City Office Case Study

On the day of April 19, 1993, at the Mount Carmel Compound in Waco Texas, an inferno of flames broke out after a 51 day siege on the Branch Davidians cult group. A total of 92 lives were lost during the fire, as well as many more during the previous 51 days. Many speculations arose whether the compound being incinerated was set by the FBI in a final attempt to make the Davidians leave the compound, and end the million dollar siege once and for all, or if it was a mass suicide conducted by David Koresh, the leader of the Branch Davidians. Of course, this will always remain a mystery, because almost 100 of the members refused to leave the building, leaving it to be a national tragedy, and unclosed case of who did it.

The Houston Texans performance against the Kansas City Chiefs wasn’t pretty Saturday afternoon.

A couple of weeks ago or maybe even longer we were talking on the phone about whether you would return to your job with the PHA or not. I told you that there would have to be some changes made, that things were in quite a mess.

This novel is set in the future in the year 2044. Wade hardly travels outside of the OASIS into the real world, but when he said, “We lived in the Portland Avenue Stacks… just west of Oklahoma City’s decaying skyscraper core,” it shows that he lives in what used to be Oklahoma City. Many locations were mentioned in the book but the most important ones are the stacks, Wade’s van, his new home, and the virtual world inside of the

North St. Paul, Minnesota is a small town of 3 square miles that fringes upon the eastern edge of Ramsey County. Once a small manufacturing village, this city converted into a first-ring suburb.

Haskins brought to the bank. Mr. Haskins was thoroughly dissatisfied with the company’s current loan arrangement with the Sunnyvale Bank, from which it had a credit line of $6 million with accounts receivable and inventory pledged as security. He thought that Mr. Flint, the loan officer at Sunnyvale, made no effort to understand the company, and was constantly making suggestions that seemed inappropriate. He routinely visited AMT once every six months. While the visits were cordial, they were of very little value to Mr. Haskins. Furthermore, Mr. Haskins felt that the bank had been quite arbitrary in selecting the receivables that it would accept as collateral and in setting the percentage of inventory that it would advance as a loan. The restrictive attitude on the bank’s part was limiting the company’s ability to expand at exactly the time that increased volume seemed to be the key to profitability. Mr. Haskins was perfectly willing to pledge the company’s accounts receivable, inventory or anything else that the bank thought would be desirable security as long as the arrangement was fair to the company and specific enough so that he could count on having the funds available when he needed them. Mr. Winter explained that the bank was always interested in sound loan proposals from companies that showed the promise of developing into good accounts. He promised to study the request and said that he hoped to visit the company in the near future.

Countrywide’s tactics often led borrowers to expensive and sometimes unfavorable loans that resulted in richer commissions for Countrywide’s sales forces, fees to company affiliates providing services on the loans, and a roaring stock price that made Countrywide executives among the highest paid in America. Countrywide’s entire operation, from its computer system to its incentive pay structure and financing arrangements, was intended to wring maximum profits out of the mortgage lending boom no matter what it cost borrowers (Morgenson, 2007).
