B. Don Russell wasn’t thinking about preventing a wildfire when he developed a tool to detect power line problems before blackouts and bigger disasters.The electrical engineering professor at Texas A&M University figured he might save a life if his creation could prevent someone from being electrocuted by a downed live wire.But fire prevention may be his product’s biggest selling point in California and other places that have experienced devastating wildland blazes blamed on electrical equipment.“If we can find things when they start to fail, if we can find things that are in the process of degrading before a catastrophic event occurs, such as a downed line that might electrocute someone or a fire starting or even an outage for their customers, that’s kind of the Holy Grail,” Russell said.The technology he bills as a one-of-a kind diagnostic tool called Distribution Fault Anticipation is now in use in Texas and being tested in California by Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and Southern California Edison. The utilities have been blamed for some of the most destructive and deadliest fires in California.Texas A&M said the technology will also be tested in New Zealand and Australia, which is currently reeling from destructive wildfires.The tool detects variations in electrical currents caused by deteriorating conditions or equipment and notifies utility operators so they can send a crew to fix the problems, Russell said.It can anticipate many problems in their early stages — sometimes years before they cause an outage or present a greater hazard during high winds when utilities are now pre-emptively shutting off power to prevent sparking wildfires.Before the technology was developed, electric companies often didn’t know they had a problem until there was a failure or a customer called to report sparks on power lines or a loss of electricity.“The assumption the utility has to make today is it’s healthy until we get a call that says somebody’s lights (are) out,” Russell said. “By then the fire’s started or the outage has happened or the person’s electrocuted.”Pedernales Electric Cooperative Inc. that serves about 330,000 customers outside San Antonio and Austin, Texas, began implementing the system after successful tests that began in 2015. The utility serves areas so rural that before the technology was installed, electricity powering a pump on a well could have been off for days before being detected by a farmer.The devices installed at substations are now trouble-shooting all kinds of problems, said Robert Peterson, principal engineer for the utility.“We’ve found tree branches on the line. Failing arrestors. Failing capacitors. Failing connections,” Peterson said. “It’s pretty amazing.”In California, the testing process has just begun and there are no results yet, according to PG&E and SoCal Edison.In Southern California, the software is running on just 60 of Edison’s 1,100 circuits in the utility’s high-risk fire zone, which accounts for about a quarter of its total circuits.It’s just one of several tools the utility is testing to continue to modernize its system.“There is no silver bullet,” said Bill Chiu, managing director of grid modernization and resiliency at SoCal Edison. “This is really more of a preventive measure. ... The important point is this will be one of the suite of technology that will help us better assess the condition of the grid.”Chiu said the technology was not at the point where it could be used to determine where to shut off power when dangerous winds are forecast during dry conditions. He also said it won’t pinpoint problems but can help dispatch crews closer to the source of equipment that needs to be fixed, saving time that would be wasted patrolling miles of power lines.One question is whether the technology is economically feasible to deploy across tens of thousands of miles of power lines, Chiu said.At an expense estimated between ,000 to ,000 per circuit, it could cost the utility million in its high-risk fire area and that doesn’t include installation, operation and maintenance costs.That’s a fraction of what a moderate wildfire sparked by a utility could cost, Russell said.PG&E, which is testing the technology on nine circuits, was driven into bankruptcy protection this year while facing at least billion in losses from a series of deadly and destructive wildfires in 2017 and 2018.SoCal Edison recently agreed to pay 0 million to local governments to settle lawsuits over deadly wildfires sparked by its equipment during the last two years. That figure doesn’t include lawsuits by thousands who lost their homes in those fires or family members of 21 people killed when a mudslide tore down a fire-scarred mountain. Two other people were never found.Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative found the cost was feasible and has installed it on about a sixth of its circuits for the utility that has about 100,000 customers in Central Texas, said Eric Kocian, chief engineer and system operations officer.While the system has helped proactively diagnose problems and detect the cause of outages, the university team that developed it can often find problems the utility’s control room operators don’t detect.Pedernales Coop is working with an analytics company to streamline the analysis of the myriad information the software evaluates to find and fix problems in a day, Peterson said.Russell said he never had a hint the device his research team created 15 years ago would have fire prevention applications until a series of bad wildfires in Texas in 2011. They were focused on keeping power systems safe and the lights on.“It’s obvious now in today’s context of the drought that we’ve had in California and other places,” Russell said. “Serendipitously, that’s where we find ourselves today.” 5838

ATLANTA, Ga. – Frank Reiss has a deep love for books. "I think they're beautiful," he said. "I love looking at them I love holding them."The success of the titles, authors and tales on the shelves of his Atlanta shop are a big part of the twists and turns in the story of his small business.He opened A Capella Books in 1989. In the beginning, he focused on books that were hard to find."Used books, ordinary used books, scarce and rare books," Reiss said. Then, people started to turn to the internet for books. "When Amazon showed up, books came pretty available, anyone with a computer could find a book anywhere and it got more and more that way," Reiss said. "A lot of our inventory that used to be scarce, out of print, to to even 0 books became pretty common," Reiss said. "Became and books and it became difficult to make a living selling those."Reiss says his expenses continued to rise while his sales didn't. To keep his business and his job alive, he had to climb into a hole. He says he started putting expenses on credit cards. He says 15 years ago, the debt was at its worst."I probably got to about a quarter million dollars in debt," he said. The plot twist that changed his store was figuring out what to offer the internet couldn't. "We could really capture an audience for books when you could bring the authors to town or store or other venues in town and give their fans the opportunity to meet them and get their books signed," Reiss said. Reiss started to work with the Carter Presidential Library, not far from A Capella, to hold book signings and events. He also started to sell newer books and moved his business to a cheaper location. "Sales versus our low point versus now is probably six times the revenue that we had at its low point," Reiss said.He also says an independent bookstore has a human element the internet does not. "We know our customers reading taste, they know our taste, we have conversations and its a very real experience," Reiss said.Independent book sales rose steadily at the end of last decade, according to the Independent Booksellers Association. “I think you can open a book and just be they can take you anywhere,” said Reiss. While commerce is king, for the characters with a more personal touch, the end hasn't been written. 2318

As many as 20 correctional officers who work at the federal detention center where Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide received grand jury subpoenas last week relating to an investigation into his death, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.Investigators are trying to recreate the events that happened on the night Epstein died nearly two weeks ago at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York, the source said.For example, investigators want to talk to the lieutenants who were in charge that night to get details on rounds that were not made, the source said. Epstein was supposed to be checked on regularly.More subpoenas could be in the works as the investigation widens, the source added.CNN has reached out to the Department of Justice for comment. 787

Attorneys representing Marshae Jones, the pregnant woman indicted in the death of her unborn child after being shot in the abdomen, have filed a motion asking a judge to dismiss all charges against their client.Jones' attorneys say the charges are "completely unreasonable and unjust" and based on a "novel legal theory not available or supported under Alabama law," according to the motion filed in Alabama Circuit Court on Monday.Last Thursday, a Jefferson County grand jury indicted Jones, 27, on a manslaughter charge, which is a Class B felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.Jones was five months pregnant on December 4, 2018, when she got into a fight with a woman outside a Dollar General store in Pleasant Grove, just west of Birmingham, 766
