BROOKLYN, N.Y. – At Canarsie Educational Campus in Brooklyn, the lesson plan was switched up for a day. Instead of learning history, English or math, students learned about what being in a gang is like. And, they learned from those who know that world best. “Let me ask y’all a question, what today is promoting the violence amongst y’all?” asked Kareem Nelson in front of a dozen students inside a classroom.Nelson was born and mostly raised in Harlem. He’s a former member of a street gang known as “The Black Mafia.”“I started selling crack cocaine at 12 years old,” said Nelson. “I was a follower. I had low self-esteem, so I did the things I thought would help me fit in.”At the tender age of 12, Nelson told students he thought gang life offered glory, friendship and some protection. He ultimately would learn the hard way, none of that was true.“I went to Baltimore, thought I was the toughest guy in the world, and I got shot,” Nelson explained to students.That’s what put him in a wheelchair. He was paralyzed and lost half a lung. However, eventually it was that moment and another gang-related near death experience that helped him give up gang life. “I escaped with my life and from that night on, I said ‘I don’t want kids to have to go through what I went through,’” Nelson explained.Seven years ago, Nelson founded 1343

As Hurricane Dorian approached South Carolina on Thursday, people on Myrtle Beach couldn’t help but stare — not at the hurricane but at the red Jeep Grand Cherokee that had been seemingly abandoned right on the beach.The Jeep was driverless and stranded as it sat in the wind and high waters. Bystanders gathered around the vehicle. Some even stopped to pose for selfies with it.And one person even brought out the bagpipes.A lone bagpiper played “Amazing Grace” for the abandoned Jeep on Thursday, according to video posted by Timothy Kipp on Facebook. 570

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

Beto O'Rourke said this week he has made a decision about his political future -- and signs increasingly point to him running for president in 2020.O'Rourke aides have spoken with Democratic operatives in recent weeks about a presidential campaign. This week those conversations have begun shifting to a more formal discussion of staff positions with the eventual campaign, a person familiar with the talks said, though no job offers have been made.Another change happened nine days ago: O'Rourke took the "for Texas" out of his digital presence. Emails sent from his team that used to come from BetoForTexas.com are now coming from BetoORourke.com. And while previously BetoORourke.com had redirected to his website from last year's Senate campaign, it's now the opposite.The shift was a small but telling sign as the former Texas congressman rules out another US Senate run and is on the verge of announcing his plans.Anticipation in his hometown for a presidential run is building, but O'Rourke's friends and family say they are still waiting to hear from him about whether he will run and when he'll announce it."I think he should do it. I really do," his sister Charlotte O'Rourke said Thursday in an interview with CNN in her El Paso home. "I just think he has that way with people more than anybody does.""Honestly, everybody's on board for him to do what he wants," she said.She said O'Rourke had discussed the pros and cons of a presidential campaign in depth with his family several weeks ago, but that -- as of Thursday morning -- he had not yet told them what he planned to do.O'Rourke aides have begun reactivating the massive email list he built during his failed Senate bid in the 2018 midterm elections. It had been dormant since December, until O'Rourke's team sent five emails over the last eight days -- a step that could help remove inactive addresses, re-engage recipients and prevent new messages from being sent to spam ahead of a major announcement.The two most recent emails asked recipients to take a survey about the issues most important to them, how they might work for a campaign and how to reach them -- the sort of information campaigns regularly collect about individual supporters they hope to turn into donors and volunteers.Sticking to the end-of-February timeline he'd laid out to Oprah Winfrey weeks earlier, O'Rourke said in a statement Wednesday that he and his wife, Amy O'Rourke, "have made a decision about how we can best serve our country. We are excited to share it with everyone soon.""I want to make the announcement to everyone at the same time. I want to do it the right way," a smiling O'Rourke told CNN on Wednesday night before speaking at a Moms Demand Action event in El Paso.Those close to him read his comments -- and the reality that if he didn't intend to become a candidate, he could have just said so -- as implying a presidential campaign is likely."It seemed almost like a telling statement, in a way. But I don't know," Charlotte O'Rourke said.O'Rourke has called some of his closest political allies outside El Paso in recent days, one person who spoke with him this week said. That person declined to reveal the details of their conversation but touted O'Rourke as a strong presidential contender.Anticipating a presidential announcement is coming soon, two groups that launched in recent months attempting to draft O'Rourke into the presidential race and lay groundwork for his campaign in the early-voting states are preparing to activate the lists of supporters they've built, as well.One group prepared an email blast to send its 30,000 subscribers to O'Rourke's website upon its launch. The group's leaders also circled back with activists in early-voting states who had hosted events to organize volunteers for an O'Rourke campaign in recent days.Another group launched a "Beto Alert," planning to notify its 7,000 email subscribers and 2,500 text message subscribers as soon as O'Rourke announces his plans and direct them to his donation webpage.Near O'Rourke's house, a neighbor, Michael Reyes, printed his own stickers to cover the "for Senate" in his Beto yard sign with "for president.""He has a lot of potential and you can see it. You can see it. Um, and the whole fact that he's just a nice guy, a regular guy, we kind of need somebody like that up there that has the view of the regular people," Reyes said.For months, O'Rourke has said publicly and in conversations with friends that his biggest hesitation about a presidential run is the time away from his three children -- Ulysses, 12; Molly, 10; and Henry, 8 -- after spending nearly two years largely on the road during his Senate run.O'Rourke attended high school at a boarding school in Virginia, and then college in New York City, in part due to a strained relationship with his own father, Pat O'Rourke, who was a local politician. The two rebuilt their relationship and became much closer when O'Rourke moved back to El Paso in his 20s, his sister said, before his father was killed when a car struck his bicycle in 2001. People close to O'Rourke said they think that history could shape his thinking."I think he feels almost like he's abandoning his kids, and what trauma is that going to leave on them," Charlotte O'Rourke said. She said O'Rourke's conversations with family have focused on the logistics of him and at times his wife being on the campaign trail.O'Rourke "really put it all on the line for a while there and he invested so much into being away from his family, and I know how badly he wanted to be with them," said Tony Casas, a friend who O'Rourke hired at his former internet services firm Stanton Street and who designed O'Rourke's black-and-white Senate campaign logo.Friends said O'Rourke was particularly concerned about how a run would impact his elder son.Steve Ortega, an O'Rourke friend and fellow former city councilman, said he was at O'Rourke's house during this year's college football national championship game."Beto had stepped out of the room and I asked Ulysses, 'How's it having your dad back?' And he says, 'It's awesome, I love it,' " Ortega said. "He's at the age where spending time with your parents is still cool."O'Rourke has said lately, though, that after spending time at home with his children in recent months, they are more supportive.In an early February interview with Winfrey in New York City, he joked that Ulysses "is about ready for me to leave the house."On Wednesday night, O'Rourke -- who had ridden a bicycle several blocks to the pro-gun-control group's event -- declined to offer any additional details about the timeline to reveal his decision about a 2020 presidential campaign or how he would do so."I'm going to make an announcement soon. I'm going to be making the same announcement to everyone at the same time," he told CNN. "That's all I can say at this time." 6886

An immigration advocacy group is working to help undocumented immigrants know their rights if they come in contact with immigration officials. This comes as President Trump gave Congress two weeks to come up with an immigration deal. If one is not reached, the president says he’ll move forward with his plans to hold immigration raids and mass deportations. 370
