...when the results began to filter out last week, they proved truly alarming. In Duval County, which includes Jacksonville, 45% of the juniors failed the math section and 14% could not handle the reading and grammar part.

When the blend gets to its destination, usually an electric utility plant, the coal is separated from the water by filter or centrifuge and used to heat boilers. The water is used to cool the plant...
