Union Atlanticby Adam Haslett
View All Available Formats & Editions
Apenas unos días antes de que se produjera la espectacular quiebra de Lehman Brothers, uno de los episodios clave de la peor crisis financiera global desde 1929, Adam Haslett entregaba su primera novela, una cautivante historia sobre los frágiles cimientos de una edad de oro corrompida por la codicia. Incorporado a la vanguardia de la literatura norteamericana con la colección de relatos Aquí no eres un extraño con la que obtuvo el prestigioso PEN New England Award y fue finalista del National Book Award y del Premio Pulitzer, Haslett explora los factores culturales y humanos que propiciaron el colapso a través de un reducido grupo de personajes con posturas éticas irreconciliables.
Doug Fanning, el joven tiburón financiero que lidera la vertiginosa expansión del Union Atlantic, uno de los grandes bancos del país, acaba de construirse una ostentosa mansión en una selecta zona residencial a las afueras de Boston. Allí topará desde el primer día con el encono de su vecina, Charlotte Graves, una profesora de Historia que acudirá a los tribunales para denunciar la venta del terreno protegido donde se ha edificado la casa. Entre ambos litigantes se interpondrá Nate Fuller, un atormentado estudiante de instituto al que Charlotte da clases particulares. Así, mientras Fanning orquesta sofisticadas operaciones financieras al límite de la legalidad, el hermano de Charlotte, Henry Graves, director de la Reserva Federal de Nueva York, se halla cerca de destapar una trama de corrupción financiera de un potencial y unas dimensiones que ni él mismo imagina.
Traducida por el momento a diez idiomas, Union Atlantic es una novela ambiciosa, compleja e imaginativa, destinada a leerse como un retrato elocuente de nuestra convulsa modernidad

The Washington Post
The New York Times
"Adam Haslett may be our F. Scott Fitzgerald. . . . A profound, strikingly intelligent story." —The Washington Post Book World
"The first great novel of the new century that takes the new century as its subject . . . It's big and ambitious. . . . It's about us, now. All of us." —Esquire
"Remarkable. . . . With gorgeous prose and the punch of a first-rate thriller." —USA Today
"Funny and insightful. . . . The perfect book for our times. . . . Haslett has created memorable characters whose dysfunctional lives seem to embody the frenetic craziness and moral confusion of the era." —"What We're Reading," National Public Radio
"It's remarkable how successfully Union Atlantic continues the nuance of Haslett's earlier [work]…. Swiftly and confidently, Haslett unwinds the ball of yarn that is the global financial crisis to reveal its core." –The New York Times Book Review
"Exceedingly well written….A high-spirited, slyly astute exploration of our great bottoming out." –The Boston Globe
"An enthralling, lucid and superbly confident work of art that grips from the first page as it puts the reader ringside at the heart of the financial crisis, revealing it finally as an emergency of the human heart and its societal urge….This is a big novel and a masterful debut by a writer whose talent is equal to his project, and whose project could not be more timely." –Chris Cleave, author of Little Bee and The Other Hand
"Union Atlantic sets itself the daunting challenge of doing for late capitalism what Heart of Darkness did for late colonialism. It is a measure of Haslett's extraordinary skill that he just about succeeds." –The Financial Times
"Haslett has a deeply informed and imaginative grasp of history, and his book reads like a thriller, but it is, stealthily, much more than that: a chronicle of the collective corruption whose fallout we are, right this minute, enduring." –O, The Oprah Magazine

"[Haslett] has written the first great novel of the new century that takes the new century as its subject, but not simply because it takes the new century as its subject….Rather, Haslett has written a great novel because he has emerged in Union Atlantic as a great novelist, a mystery as abiding as any of the mysteries of the Fed—indeed, a mystery restored, even as the mysteries of the Fed are revealed." –Esquire
"Union Atlantic is a bleak, brazen, beauty of a book."—Elle
"In Union Atlantic, Haslett presents us with a sweeping, blessedly clear vision of how we wound up in the economic cesspool….And he does it all with modesty and a depth of feeling for his characters that imbues, yet never seeks to explain away, their essence."—GQ
"Emerging here as a sort of E.M. Forster of the aughts, Haslett high-steps nimbly from great tenderness to arch social satire, and from the civic to the personal. He even manages to make monetary systems....glow like poetry." —Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"Union Atlantic will possibly be the quintessential American novel of the first decade of the 21st century." —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"[Haslett's] gift for language, his unerring eye, his honesty and his compassion for his characters, many of whom are deeply flawed and deeply troubled, puts him in the company of the best authors writing in English today….In Haslett's hands, there's also humour, insight, and a shard of hope." –The National
"[Union Atlantic] takes on the largest possible questions: the fate of the American empire and the meaning of America itself. The action moves with high Aristotelian perfection….Haslett is a skilled writer with a painfully acute feeling for the dynamics of family life in old New England families." –The New Republic

Read an Excerpt
Chapter 1
A plot of land. That's what Doug told his lawyer. Buy me a plot of land, hire a contractor, and build me a casino of a house. If the neighbors have five bedrooms, give me six. A four-car garage, the kitchen of a prize-winning chef, high ceilings, marble bathrooms, everything wired to the teeth. Whatever the architecture magazines say. Make the envying types envious.
"What do you want with a mansion?" Mikey asked. "You barely sleep in your own apartment. You'd get nothing but lost."
Finden, Doug told him. Build it in Finden.
And so on a Sunday morning in January 2001, Mikey had picked Doug up at his place in Back Bay and they had driven west out of Boston in a light snow, the gray concrete of the overpasses along the Mass Pike blending with the gray sky above as they traveled the highway that Doug had traveled so often as a kid. It had been six years now since he'd moved back up to Massachusetts from New York. What had brought him was a job at Union Atlantic, a commercial bank whose chairman and CEO, Jeffrey Holland, had entrusted Doug with the company's expansion. In the years since, his salary and bonuses had accumulated in the various accounts and investments his financial adviser had established, but he'd spent practically nothing.
"You're pathetic," Mikey had said to him once, when he'd come back to Doug's apartment for a beer and seen the college furniture and books still in their boxes. "You need a life."
A solo practitioner, Mikey had gone to Suffolk Law at night, while he worked at a bail-bond office. He lived with his girlfriend in one of the new condos in South Boston, six stories up and two blocks east of the house he'd grown up in, his mother still cooking him dinner on Sunday nights. He liked to call himself a well-rounded lawyer, which in practice meant he did everything but drive his clients to work.
A few miles short of the Alden town line, they turned off at the Finden exit onto a wooded road that opened out into the snow-covered meadows of a golf course, used at this time of year for cross-country skiing. They passed under an old, arched brick railway bridge and soon after reached the first stretch of houses.
The town was much as Doug remembered it from the days when he'd driven his mother to work here: mostly woods, the homes widely spaced, with big yards and long driveways, the larger homes hidden from view by hedges and gates. When they reached the village center, he saw that the old stores had been replaced by newer clothing boutiques and specialty food shops, though their signage, by town ordinance, remained conservative and subdued. The benches on the sidewalks were neatly painted, as were the fire hydrants and the elaborate lampposts and the well-tended wooden planters.
On the far side of this little town center, the houses became sparse again, one large colonial after the next, most of them white clapboard with black trim. They passed a white steepled church with a snow-covered graveyard and a mile or so farther along turned onto a dirt track that led down a gentle incline. A few hundred yards into the woods, Mikey brought the car to a halt and cut the engine.
"This is it," he said. "Five acres. Up ahead you got a river. The other side's all Audubon so they can't touch you there. One other house up the hill to the right, and a couple more on the far side of that. Any other place, they'd put eight houses on a piece this size, but the locals ganged up and zoned it huge."
Stepping out of the car, they walked over the frozen ground farther down the track until they reached the bank of the river. Only four or five yards across and no more than a few feet deep, it flowed over a bed of leaves and mossy rock.
"Amazing," Doug said, "how quiet it is."
"The town's asking for two point eight," Mikey said. "My guy thinks we can get it for two and a half. That is if you're still crazy enough to want it."
"This is good," Doug said, peering across the water into the bare black winter trees. "This is just fine."
The house took a year to complete: three months to clear the land, bury the pipes, and dig a foundation, another seven for construction, and two more for interior work and landscaping. For the right sum, Mikey oversaw all of it.
By the time it was done, the real estate market had progressed as Doug had foreseen. After the tech bust in 2000, the Federal Reserve had cut interest rates, making mortgages cheap, and thus opening the door for all that frightened capital to run for safety into houses. The attacks on 9/11 had only sped the trend. These new mortgages were being fed into the banks like cars into a chop shop, stripped for parts by Union Atlantic and the other big players, and then securitized and sold on to the pension funds and the foreign central banks. Thus were the monthly payments of the young couples in California and Arizona and Florida transformed by the alchemy of finance into a haven for domestic liquidity and the Chinese surplus, a surplus earned by stocking the box stores at which those same couples shopped. With all that money floating around, the price of real estate could only rise. Before Doug ever opened the front door, the value of his new property had risen thirty percent.
The first night he slept in Finden he remembered his dreams as he hadn't in years. In one, his mother wandered back and forth along the far end of a high-school gymnasium, clad in a beige raincoat, her hands in her pockets, her head tilted toward the floor. They were late again for Mass. Doug called to her from beneath the scrub oak in their tiny backyard. Its bark peeled away, he saw veins pumping blood into branches suddenly animate and forlorn. A priest waited in an idling sedan. In the distance, he heard the sound of a ship's cannon firing. Oblivious to all of this, focused only on the floorboards in front of her, his mother kept pacing. As the deck beneath him began to list, Doug rolled to his knees to break his fall.
He woke on his stomach, sweating. The wall was an uncanny distance from the bed, the pale-yellow paint someone had chosen for it beginning to glow dimly in the early-morning light. He rolled onto his back and stared at the stilled ceiling fan, its rounded chrome fixture as spotless as the deck of the Vincennes on inspection day.
Here he was, thirty-seven, lying in his mansion.
Reaching for the remote at his side, he switched on the TV.
.?.?. Israel denies Arafat request to leave West Bank compound, the CNN ticker began .?.?. Pakistan in discussions with U.S. to hand over chief suspect in murder of Wall Street Journal reporter .?.?. CT residents to pay $50 more per year for garbage collection after State Trash Authority loss of $200 million on deal with Enron .?.?.
His BlackBerry began vibrating on the floor beside his keys; it was his trader in Hong Kong, Paul McTeague, calling.
At Doug's level of bank management, most people relied on underlings to handle recruiting, but that had never been his practice. He insisted on choosing his own people, right down to the traders. McTeague had been one of his. They'd met a few years ago on a flight to London. A Holy Cross grad, McTeague had grown up in Worcester and learned the business with a specialist on the floor of the NYSE. A rabid Bruins fan, his conversation didn't extend much beyond hockey and derivatives. Twenty-eight and itching to make a killing. The human equivalent of a single-purpose vehicle. In short, perfect for the job. Usually Doug would have waited awhile before clueing in a new guy as to how he, in particular, ran the flow of information, i.e. avoiding intermediate supervisors. But he could tell right away that McTeague was his kind, and so he'd told him straight out: If you've got a problem and you're getting hassled, just call.
Two months ago, when the head of the back office at the Hong Kong desk had left, Doug had installed McTeague as the temporary replacement, thus putting him in charge of all paperwork and accounting, and expanding the dominion of an employee with direct loyalty to him. The more raw information Doug could get stovepiped up from the front lines without interference from all the middling professionals, the more direct power over outcomes he wielded.
"You're a genius," McTeague said when Doug answered his phone. "The Nikkei's up another two percent. Our economy's still in the tank but Japanese stocks keep rising. It's a thing of beauty."
A month and a half ago, in early February, he and McTeague had been at a conference in Osaka. After one of the sessions, they had gone to Murphy's, the bar where the Australians pretended to be Irish. They were about to call it a night when Doug saw a senior deputy in the Japanese Ministry of Finance stumble in with a Korean woman half his age. The man shook his head in resignation as his young companion made her way straight for the bar and ordered a bottle of scotch. Interested to see how things would play out, Doug ordered another round and he and McTeague settled in to watch. The argument in the corner grew steadily more heated. The woman was demanding something the man didn't want to give, the Tokyo deputy apparently at wits' end with his mistress. Eventually, after being harangued for half an hour, he stood up, threw cash on the table, and walked out of the bar.
That's when the idea had occurred to Doug: the young woman might know something.
"Do me a favor," he'd said to McTeague. "Comfort the girl."
And a good job of it McTeague had done. At some point after they'd had sex, the deputy's mistress told him that the Ministry of Finance had a plan. They were about to launch another price-stability operation. The Japanese government would buy up a boatload of Japanese domestic stocks, sending the Nikkei index higher and thus shoring up the balance sheets of their country's troubled banks. It was a classic command-economy move, using public money to interfere with the market's valuations. In the process, the Japanese government would hand a major loss to the foreign, largely U.S. speculators who had been shorting the value of their stock market for months.
The operation, of course, was secret.
And thus it was that in mid-February, Atlantic Securities, the investment banking firm that Union Atlantic had purchased and renamed two years earlier as part of its expansion, had become the one American firm to go from bearish to bullish on the prospects for the Japa?- nese economy. Under Doug's supervision, McTeague had placed large bets on the Nikkei going higher, using Atlantic Securities' own money. The resulting trading profits had been substantial and were still flowing in. It would be awhile yet before the Ministry of Finance's plan would become public and there was a lot of money to be made in the meantime.
"So," McTeague asked, eager as ever, "how much cash do I get to play with tomorrow?"
"We'll see," Doug replied. "Call me after New York opens."
The chilled marble of the bathroom floor felt particularly solid against the balls of his feet. Two huge sinks in the shape of serving bowls, one for the master and one for his wife, were set beneath mirrored cabinets along the far wall. Beyond were two shower stalls with shiny steel heads that jetted water from the walls and ceiling. Opposite these stood a patio-size cross between a Jacuzzi pool and a bathtub, the whole thing decked in slate.
Walking to the window, Doug looked out across the front of the house. Mikey had done a good job: a stately, circular driveway, an enormous freestanding garage mocked up like a barn, and, surrounding it all, pleasing expanses of lawn. Through a row of bare maples that had been left up the hill to mark the property line, he could see a dilapidated barn and beside it an ancient house with weathered shingles, a listing brick chimney, and a slight dip in the long rear slant of its roof. It was one of those old New England saltboxes that historical preservation societies kept tabs on, although not too closely by the looks of it. Whoever owned it didn't seem to be occupying the place. Weeds had risen in the rutted gravel drive. On the one hand, it was the farthest thing from a Mickey D's and a strip mall you could get, just the sort of nostalgia for which people loved towns like this, casting the dead starlight of American landed gentry, dotted with graveyards full of weathered headstones and the occasional field of decorative sheep. Allowed to decay too far, however, it could cause a decline in the value of Doug's property. If some absentee WASP who'd retreated to his compound in Maine thought he could just let a house rot like this, it would have to be sorted out. He'd put Mikey on it, he thought, as he slipped out of his boxers and stepped into the shower.
Downstairs, he passed through the mansion's empty rooms and, finding the touch-screen keypad by the front door inscrutable, pushed an Off button and saw the screen announce: Fanning Disarmed.
Mikey was good. He was very good.
As he came down the front steps, the late-winter sun was just beginning to strike the side of his garage. Glancing over the roof of his car, he saw a woman in a blue ski jacket coming out the back door of the old house up the hill, which was apparently inhabited after all. Tall and rather thin, she had longish gray hair and a stiff, upright posture. With her were two large dogs, a Doberman and some sort of mastiff. It looked as if the animals were too strong for her, that she might be pulled down by them, but a yank of her arm brought them under control and they led her in orderly fashion along the stone path to the overgrown driveway. At first Doug thought she hadn't noticed him at such a distance. But then, as he was about to get in his car, she glanced in his direction, and Doug waved.
She made no response, as if surveying an empty landscape.
Rude or half blind, he couldn't tell. Driving slowly, he turned onto Winthrop Street and, lowering the passenger-side window, rolled up beside her.
"Good morning. My name's Doug Fanning. The new place here—it's mine."
For a moment, it seemed she hadn't heard a word he said and was perhaps deaf to boot. But then, abruptly, as if the car had only now appeared, she came to a halt. Bringing the dogs to heel, she leaned down to look into the car. The deeply lined skin of her face had the same weathered gray hue as the side of her house. Without a word, as if he weren't even there, she sniffed at the air of the car's interior; the Lexus he'd leased for the new commute was still pine fresh.
"Trees," she said. "Before you came. All of it. Trees."
And with that she stood upright again and kept walking.

Encompassing a range of topics and situations from success at work, disaffected citizenry, to sexual and familial relationships, this novel weaves a strong plot that made me not want to stop reading. Reading it each morning on the subway I almost missed my stop each time. It really pulls you in and answers modern personal questions that have crossed all of our minds.
Haslett's writing is swift and incisive. He takes you to the heart of our conflicted times. By playing off the two main characters, he examines the modern tension between traditionalist and progressive, one with a life bounded by rules, the other in a life of seizing opportunities. This is Tom Wolfe's "Bonfire of the Vanities" for the 21st century.
I really enjoyed Union Atlantic and found it to be quite a page turner. It didn't have the same level of depth of Adam Haslett's collection of stories in You Are Not a Stranger here, but I found it both thought provoking and entertaining at the same time. I enjoyed seeing the financial crisis for so many different perspectives and I think the author does a good job of probing the perspective of the regulatory establishment though the character of Henry--something we don't really see in the press. The story of the bank crisis in Union Atlantic is that of a minor problem that becomes a major problem in the cover-up--an idea that clearly transcends the financial crisis.
Watching the Congressional hearings into Goldman Sachs made me appreciate the prescience of Adam Haslett's brilliant novel, Union Atlantic. Haslett's novel features a young gun investment banker, Doug Fanning, whom we first meet in 1988 when he is stationed on a US naval ship that is escorting Kuwaiti tankers through the Straits of Hormuz. An Iranian passenger jet with 290 people on it was shot down by the Americans. The incident gets covered up, as well as the fact that Fanning failed to tell his commander that the jet was ascending, not descending as the commander was told. This incident leads Fanning to become the kind of man who later sets in motion a financial disaster that threatens the U.S. banking system. Fanning becomes a big success as an investment banker at Union Atlantic. He takes risks there as well, and as long as he produces big profits for the bank and in turn himself, he can cut all the corners he likes. His boss is willfully ignorant of Fanning's schemes. When Fanning builds a huge McMansion next to property owned by Charlotte Graves, he underestimates her. The land was owned by her grandfather, and Charlotte believes his house is obscene. Charlotte, a retired teacher, is eccentric, slipping into insanity. She believes that her two dogs are the incarnated Malcolm X and Cotton Mather, and they frequently share their conflicting advice with Charlotte. Charlotte ends up tutoring Nate, a teenage boy whose father recently committed suicide. He breaks into Fanning's home, and ends up in a dangerous sexual relationship with Fanning. Fanning wants Nate to help get Charlotte off his back, and he is willing to use Nate's vulnerability to get what he wants. When a colleague working for Fanning runs a scheme that unravels, Charlotte brother Henry Graves, the president of the New York Federal Reserve, becomes involved in trying to keep this from ruining the entire entangled U. S. economy. (Hank Paulson, anyone?) How Haslett weaves these stories together is a wonder. He doesn't write this novel, he crafts it. It took me along time to read this book because I frequently reread passages, they were that beautiful. Of Nate realizing that Charlotte needed him, he writes These last many months the intuition of others' needs had become Nate's second nature, as if his father's going had cut him a pair of new, lidless eyes that couldn't help but see into a person such as this this: marooned and specter-driven. His characters are vivid and complex. Nate is flailing about, wanting to be loved and willing to debase himself to do it. Charlotte is a genius, bordering on insane, and Fanning is amoral, sinking further into the morass. It is astonishing that a fiction writer created this dialogue in 2008, when Henry the NY Fed Chair says to the CEO of Union Atlantic "Let me start by saying that if you or your board is under the impression that Union Atlantic is too big to fail, you're mistaken. There's no question here of a bailout. If you go under, the markets will take a hit, but with enough liquidity in the system we can cut you loose. I hope you understand that." This, of course, was a bluff. Henry has already begun receiving calls from the Treasury Department. This novel one of the best books I have read this decade. The story is relevant and the characters are powerful. Haslett is a true craftsmen. If you like good fiction, read this.
Pulitzer prize-winning writer Adam Haslett's debut novel is an epic and multi-layered intricately detailed story. "Union Atlantic" is heavily planted within the banking industry. Helmed by Doug Fanning, a seemingly invincible higher-up within Union Atlantic, one of the country's most powerful banks, Doug skirts the rules and laws of banking, and has made billions for himself as well as the company. Building a sprawling mansion on a piece of land he bought from the town in Finden, Massachusetts, Doug soon finds his nearest neighbor, Charlotte Graves, has a serious beef with him living on what she believes to be her family's land. Charlotte has a beef with many things, and her two dogs often talk her through both sides of whatever issue Charlotte is dealing with at the moment. Meanwhile, a seventeen-year-old boy whom Charlotte is tutoring (more like forcing her unintelligible rants upon) lets his curiosity get the better of him and decides to explore Doug's mansion and finds both Doug and his house captivating. Nate, the teen, and Doug enter into a sexual relationship that is described quite graphically at times. Between Doug's personal life and professional dealings, he's not a likeable guy. He takes advantage of Nate repeatedly, using Nate's body and coercing him into stealing some of Charlotte's personal documents to use against her in the fight over the property Doug's mansion is built on. When an insider trading scam is discovered, Doug decides to go to great lengths to cover it up. To avoid the downfall of Union Atlantic, as well as the downfall of the financial community at large, Doug does everything he can to cover up the scam, falling sadly short. This book is not about happy endings. We find morally corrupt Doug hiding out in the Middle East, right where he was when the book ambiguously began. Nate finds himself being the predator to others that he imagines Doug was to him. Rather than be forced into an assisted-living facility by her brother, Charlotte allows her reality-challenged mind overtake her in the end. Difficult to read, and highly technical within the banking storyline, I found myself disappointed there was not more of a resolution to the problems these characters got themselves into. I'm not sure a single character in this book was likeable, and perhaps that is Haslett's intention.
Basis of story sounded interesting. Author's previous short stories were well received. I hate to not a finish a book so I got through it but it was weak. I won't even keep it on my shelf to avoid someone else having to endure it.
I've read numerous first time authors in the past and become a fan of their work. Sadly, Adam Haslett's Union Atlantic fails to capture my attention for future titles. Shallow plot, characters and overall execution led me to put the book down several times before putting it in my Goodwill gift box. I know Haslett's other writing is respected, but why any editor would recommend this story for publication is beyond me. Union Atlanta received a favorable review on NPR, which has been a good source for new books in the past, so I'm now equally disappointed in their review process. So, like the banking and investment community this book attempts to rip, I'm lacking confidence in both Haslett's fiction writing ability and NPR's reviews. Can we trust ANYTHING anymore?
This would be a book that I would not highly recommend to friends. The characters seemed to be rather transparent and predictable. The plot was pulled from some of the recent financial headlines and social trends, but were not
After loving "You are Not a Stranger Here" I was very dissappointed with this book. While the suject was very timely(actually written before the big financial meltdown), most of the characters were not that compelling. If I love a book, I read it every spare minute. With this one, I looked for other things to do with my spare time, and only picked it up to read every few days. His writing is still quite strong, but it clearly wasn't a page turner.

From the Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Progtram:
Fire departments from 14 Ohio counties participated in the Responding to Oilfield Emergencies training workshops hosted by the Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program (OOGEEP) in April and May. The firefighters learned how to respond to potential drilling and production site emergenciesand other response resources over the two-day training workshop.
OOGEEP took the lead in the U.S. by creating and implementing the nation's first Oilfield Emergency Response Training Program. Since 2000, more than 1,000 Ohio firefighters from around the state have participated in this training program, along with firefighters from seven other states.
"Ohio citizens should be honored that many other energy producing regions have looked to Ohio as a model to set up similar safety programs in their respective states," said Rhonda Reda, executive director of OOGEEP.
The training course provides background information and practical guidelines to assist responders in communicating and evaluating a potential emergency site, and the ability to respond to both drilling and production emergencies. The hands-on training portion includes "live burns" utilizing both crude oil and natural gas props. The training program is funded 100% by Ohio's natural gas and crude oil operators.
"Ohio has always been a leader in developing safety programs. While there have been very few natural gas and crude oil emergencies in Ohio, often times fire departments are also called to respond to non-emergency incidents simply because there is a lack of knowledge or unfamiliarity of equipment, standard practices and advanced technologies used by Ohio's industry,"notes Charlie Dixon, lead fire instructor, and OOGEEP's safety and workforce administrator. "The fact is not all incidents reported are emergencies, and we are hopeful that this program will also mitigate those types of reported incidents that could tie up community resources that may be needed elsewhere."
Brent Gates, a New Concord, Ohio, Fire Chief, an Ohio Certified Fire Instructor and one of the instructors for the training adds, "This is by far one of the best training programs I have been involved in. The information and hands-on training we provide makes a difference to so many communities who areimpacted by the development of oil and gas."
After attending the two day training Worthington Township volunteer firefighter Brent Miller said, "OOGEEP put on a quality program to advance the safety and the capabilities for firefighters in our local area with a great blend of industry knowledge and tactical firefighting to improve safety for firefighters and our local community."
"Ohio's oil and gas industry has always committed to safety andwe believe it is our responsibility to help educate
Ohio's firefighters," said Eric Smith, OOGEEP's Board Chairman of OOGEEP and an Ohio oil and gas operator."In Ohio, we've drilled over 275,000 wells, and advanced technology will continue to make these operations safer and environmentally sound, while helping Ohio produce more of our own energy needs."
"It's really a service we are providing to the emergency responders, but it also significantly benefits local communities,"explains Ron Grosjean, OOGEEP Board Member and Chairman of the Firefighter Training Committee.

how to convert from integer to string in java?
how to convert from integer to string in java?
shmooveCode:int i = 1; String s = Integer.toString(i); System.out.println(s);
thank u 4 your reply.
but i have another question, if i want to view an integer number in a textfield, lets say i, must i convert it at first to string by using String s = Integer.toString(i), and then using the textField.setString(s) or there is another way?
You can skip the part where you put it into a String variable:
ok, if i have three textFields, one of them displays the multiply of the others. how to convert the string to integer? and how to get the text in the textField?
I don't know how to get the text from the textfield because I don't use J2SE (I'm guessing textfield.getString() though), but to convert the string back to an int you use the Integer.parseInt(String s) method.
What you should really do is get the documentation for the classes you're using and read that. It probably has all the answers you need.
sorry shmoove for bothering u, may be this question is the last one, where can i find the documentation for the classes?
It's OK. It's no bother.
Here you can find all the documentation. The API specs will be the most useful (API & Language section -> Java 2 Platform API Specification), and in your place I'd maybe try a few of the tutorials.

'Skinny is not appealing to me': Shahs of Sunset star Mercedes Javid is curvy and proud in skimpy monokini
She's drawn comparisons to both Kim Kardashian and Jersey Shore's Snooki.
But Shahs of Sunset star Mercedes Javid is not as concerned with having the perfect body as the other reality starlets, proudly declaring in the latest In Touch: 'Skinny is not appealing to me.'
Scroll down for video
'I am not striving to be thin': Shahs of Sunset star Mercedes Javid proudly flaunts her substantial curves in a revealing monokini and declares: 'Skinny is not appealing to me'
In the issue, on newsstands now, the 40-year-old real estate agent is literally spilling out of her revealing blue monokini.
'I'm not ashamed of my body': The 40-year-old real estate agent was interviewed in the latest In Touch
'I am not striving to be thin,' the hard-partying reality star said. 'The only person that I really want to please is myself.'
Mercedes, nicknamed MJ, said she's 'not ashamed of' her body which fluctuates between a size 8 to 10.
However, she admitted to the mag that she has a 'love/hate relationship' with her curvaceous figure.
'When I first moved to LA, I went to an internist who told me I was really overweight, and he actually prescribed diet pills,' the petite brunette recalled.
'I went to school and was shaking and having a hard time concentrating in class. I lost weight, [but] it was definitely not a healthy way to do it.'
Javid maintains her weight with 40-minute cardio sessions and she spent Thursday morning at the gym.
'Back to the cardio grind with my gym buddy @rAdAida #ShortsThisSummer #ShahsOfSunset #ToneCurves,' she tweeted Wednesday to her 38,000 followers.
Love/hate relationship with herself: Mercedes, seen here on a date with George Khouri, fluctuates between a size 8 to 10
Working it out: Javid, who recently returned from the Sundance Film Festival, maintains her weight with 40-minute cardio sessions
Mercedes considers Sofia Vergara the
ideal female physique and she thinks men like it better when a woman is
curvy and slender in the right places.
Shahs of Sunset follows a group of
Iranian-American friends living in Beverly Hills, juggling their active
social lives, up-and-coming careers, and their traditional heritage.
The In Touch photo spread likely
furthered cultural stereotypes by having the Persian sextet pose
poolside before a massive pile of gold with Mercedes playfully wielding a
Slimming down: The hard-partying reality star already looks smaller than she did last month in Santa Barbara
The Bravo series, which aims to dethrone the Kardashians, is also produced by Ryan Seacrest.
'The great thing about a show like
this is that it promotes something I believe in, which is friendship and
family. We like shows about that,' the 38-year-old host told the Daily
Beast last year.
And the popularity of the show is going from strength to strength, with 2.2 million viewers tuning into the January 27 episode.

I had to stay here due to the Opryland Resort being sold out. This is their over-flow hotel. The restaurant was good, the room was clean and comfy, but there were just some weird things with this hotel. For instance, half of the rooms are on indoor halls, and half are outside. For safety reasons, I do NOT like outside, and that is where I was placed. Now to get to my room I had to take an elevator inside, walk down a couple of hallways, slosh through water that was ALWAYS on the carpet at the push door, and go outside and down another walkway. I was there for 4 nights, and that water never went away. Very strange and irritating.
Would I stay here again? If I had to. Would it be on my top 5 list? Nope.

Growing up in Millinocket, the sound of the town's fire horn was always there at 8:00 a.m. sharp...unless the time change hit and no changed the fire horn time to match, then at 9:00 p.m., when the curfew hit, and our parents told us to be home when we heard the horn.
Waterville Maine: not the place you'd expect to hear when talking about the latest, greatest & according to Yahoo, "Ping Tank will redefine the way we express ourselves creatively", but it's true. CEO Jeremy Greene and CTO Derek Myska have created Ping Tank for Messenger, and it'll change the way you communicate on-line forever!
A woman's gesture to cheer up her friend's son who is battling cancer has gone viral on Facebook by posting pictures of your pooch!
I know we've seen social media sites come and go, i.e. MySpace...but as big as Facebook is, I think it will be around for a long, long time. So, is it just me, or does it bug the holy living h#$l out of you when you see grown adults, with jobs, that can't seem to spell, or put a coherent sentence together?? Ladies and gentlemen, I think it should be a required course 'Facebook Grammar 101'
I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I watched the video: 'What's On Your Mind Facebook?' But given my own personal experiences with the social media site that has captured cultures all over the planet, it's my theory that truth is elusive, and sometimes there are just some things that are better left unshared...
It's without a doubt, Q-106.5 is Maine's Country Station, giving you Today's Best Country Music, chances to win super prizes including tickets to great country shows both near and far, and we're locked in to your community! So...come on, like us back on Facebook!
Okay, many of us, including me, have taken a 'selfie' photograph at least once or maybe a few times over the years. But since the advent of camera phones with high resolution capabilities, the selfie has become as common place as the fork and spoon...
When you look at Katheryn Deprill today, you see a beautiful young woman who has been blessed immeasurably. What you don't see is her beginning in life, as her birth mother abandoned her in the restroom of a Burger King restaurant in Allentown, Pennsylvannia...

Apple expected to unveil iPad 3 in March 7 event
Apple has started sending out invites for an event next week at which the tech giant is likely to unveil its most awaited gadget, the iPad 3. The event, which has the tagline "We have something you really have to see. And touch", will take place in San Francisco at 10am, local time on March 7.
Though Apple has not confirmed what it will announce at the event, there are strong rumours that the iPad 3 will be unveiled, The Telegraph reports. According to the paper, the image on the invitation, which shows a finger tapping an iPad, appears to suggest that the rumours are true.
Apple is also expected to also use the event to announce an improved Apple TV, possibly with support for full 1080p high definition video. Some reports in early February suggested that Apple was in 'crunch mode', making the final preparations for the iPad launch event. It is thought that the new iPad will have a vastly improved display, with double the screen resolution of the iPad 2, and a faster processor.
It is not clear whether iPad 3 will feature improved cameras, increased storage or Siri, Apple's built-in voice-recognition app currently available in iPhone 4S. The upcoming event will be the first major Apple product launch since the death of Steve Jobs, the company's Co-Founder and former Chief Executive.

Jenna, Benna, Shmena... Shmuga? Yep, that's pretty much how my alias came to be. An evolution of stupid rhyming nicknames for my dog. But just recently we've had to put her down because of a tumour, once again, in her intestines. Even worse, we didn't find out until it was too late to do anything about it, and it was in a worse spot then my cat's was.
From then on my dad knew that she was the one for him
Jenna was to my dad what Sasha was to me but that doesn't mean I loved her any less. From a little puppy to a full grown dog she was always happy and always had energy even if her body failed her. At about 6-7 years old we found out she had a bone chip in one of her legs which resulted in her limping and made walking difficult for her. Around the same time we found out she had arthritis from her neck to the base of her tail. From then on she would be on steroids and other medication to help her for the rest of her life. The vet has never seen such a terrible case of arthritis in a dog and is surprised that not only was she walking at all, but she went about her life as if nothing was wrong. Like this is just how it's supposed to be. German shepards live around 10 years old... and Jenna's freakin' THIRTEEN and still going like nobody's business. She also got over two seizures in one day about a month ago and just recently got her walking again after having some trouble the last month. She'd still be going if it wasn't for this, possibly to the end of the year or maybe a year or two more. That might be pushing it, but we'll never know. Given her other problems she overcame, it wouldn't be surprising.
I'll be honest, I didn't think I cared for her as much as did, (we really only exchanged hellos and belly rubs the last few years) and it didn't hit me initially... but when I was petting her the morning of, and her stomach was gurgling I knew what had to be done. I knew she had to be put down. Getting surgery, if she survived, could still cause complications and she would have to go anyway. Might as well not make her suffer if we're gonna have to come to the same conclusion so quickly anyway. It felt terrible because nothing was really wrong with her. She had nothing wrong with her brain, her bloodwork/heart/organs were all fine and she had the spirit of a puppy. Besides her back and legs she was normal, but the damn tumour got the best of her and there was nothing she, we, or the vet could do, and the vet did everything he could to make sure that there'd be no second guesses.Thankfully we were all there to comfort her as she went. It was quick, painless, and soon looked like she was just taking a nap like normal.
After we discovered her bone chip
We got her trained at a young age and taught her not to bite, even if you jammed your hand in her mouth, and trust me, my dad tested. But if you had pastrami, oh boy you better watch out. I remember my dad had a piece and gave it to her, like he usually does with meat or some other foods, and she almost bit his hand off, XD. She'll really do anything for meat. Even if she seems tired or lazy or whatever if you put chicken in her dish she'll jump right up to get it... and inhale it in 10 seconds. We're pretty sure she doesn't actually chew it, lol. She also knows a few tricks. You could shake her paw, she could wave and high-five (pretty much the same), she could touch things with her nose, and she would even play tag. She was also ticklish and if you scratched her belly or under her armpits one leg would start kicking the air. Basically she was part Thumper from Bambi.
(0:35) Here she is pretending to be a dog killed in Wolfenstein.
(3:11) This part was kinda hard. I was trying to make her bark with a hand guesture but trying not to show me doing it or else it would look like crap. So I kept doing it and she must've got annoyed because after I got her barking a couple of times she just walked away, as if to say, "Screw this I'm done with you." I thought it was hilarious, not just because it was perfect for the scene I was doing, but just the fact that she had enough of me and walked off.
I think my mom hit the nail on the head with choosing this as "her" song. From start to finish in her mind and her amount of energy she was always young, never old.
This songs lyrics aren't really relatable to the situation, but just the soft atmosphere really got to me.
Goodbye Jenna, I'll never forget you. If anything you've taught me that I can't let anything get the best of me, no matter what life throws at you, you just have to keep pushing forward till you see it to the end.

A novel broadband circularly polarized (CP) slot antenna array fed by asymmetric coplanar waveguide (CPW) with an inverted L-shaped strip for L-band applications is proposed. Broadband CP is obtained by an array composed of elliptically polarized elements using sequential rotation feed technique. Experimental results show that the VSWR les 1.5 impedance bandwidth and the 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth can be greatly raised to be as high as 52% (1.151.95 GHz) and 49% (1.151.9 GHz), respectively. The proposed antenna can provide a peak antenna gain of about 8 dBi at 1.5 GHz, with gain variations less than 1.5 dB for frequencies within the CP bandwidth. Good agreement is observed between simulation and measurement.

Very nice quite time in Prescott.
My fiance and I went to attend the annual Fourth of July celebration and go on a hike at Lynx Lake. The hotel was right in front of the street to Lynx Lake, which was convenient. It was also a quick, affordable Uber trip away from Whiskey Row. The mall is also across the way so we had many dining and shopping options. The swimming pool and hot tub were a lot of fun. There weren't always towels available, but the hotel staff was very helpful to get us towels.
Nice basic hotel. Clean and reasonably comfortable. They don't keep irons in the room and made us come down to the front desk to get one. Also were a little rude when we asked for a late checkout. Parking was free. Didn't use the breakfast or Internet so can't speak to the quality of those.
We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub, I was so impressed with the Disability Awreness at the Pool and hot tub!!!
Overall it was great just dated and a little over priced and could use dusting and cobwebs cleaned since hotel is surrounded by woods
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us
