Department of Nursing
You are here
So you want to become a nurse? Whether you're a beginning student in nursing or a nurse returning to school, the Nursing Program at Delaware State University has a course of study to meet your needs.
The program is approved by the Delaware Board of Nursing (Cannon Building, Suite 203, 861 Silver Lake Boulevard, Dover, DE 19904, 302.744.4500) and is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (3343 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 850, Atlanta, GA 30326, 404.975.5000, www.acenursing.org).
This accredited baccalaureate degree nursing program is grounded in the concept of academic excellence. Students seeking professional preparation for nursing practice are admitted to the program. Preparation for professional nursing practice demands a knowledge of the humanities, natural and social sciences and nursing theory with correlated laboratory and clinical practice.
The faculty of the Department of Nursing subscribe to the mission and core values of DSU and EdH&PP. Its mission is to provide meaningful and relevant education that emphasizes the liberal arts, scientific and professional aspects of higher education for a multicultural student population. The nursing program provides educational opportunities for students of diverse backgrounds and prepares knowledgeable, entry-level practitioners for meeting present and future health needs of individuals, families, groups and communities. The nursing program develops an educational base for graduate study and fosters professionalism.
The primary purposes of the program are (1) to prepare competent professional nurses, (2) to meet the needs of a culturally diverse student population, and (3) to develop an educational base for future specialization and/or graduate study.
The nursing curriculum is four academic years and leads to the bachelor of science degree with a major in nursing. Professional level nursing courses include both nursing theory and related laboratory and clinical study. Health agencies including hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, and other community health settings, and schools in the Delaware area provide settings for laboratory study in nursing. Practica are also provided in the simulated laboratory in the Department of Nursing.
Students who meet nursing admission criteria may be admitted to the nursing program. Nursing students are responsible for their own transportation to all clinical experiences. All nursing students are eligible to become members of the Delaware State University Student Nurses' Association. Delaware State University Nursing Honor Society invites students to be members after successful completion of the junior year of the Nursing Program with a 3.0 GPA and in the top 1/3 of the class.

Christina Aguilera's Ex-Husband Jordan Bratman Moves Out His Stuff — 2 Years Later!
It seems like Christina Aguilera's ex-husband, Jordan Bratman, took his "'til death do us part" vows very seriously. The couple divorced in 2010, but yesterday paparazzi snapped some photos of Jordan gathering his belongings from Xtina's home in Beverly Hills.
According to The Daily Mail, Jordan originally refused to move out following the divorce in October 2010, and Christina had to move into a hotel temporarily. But in January 2011, Jordan finally moved, leaving plenty of his belongings behind.
Now Christina is selling the couple's former home and Jordy's got to put everything he owns in a box to the left. Christina had been living in the home with current boyfriend Matthew Rutler, but the couple is currently staying in a hotel during the moving process.
Xtina rarely shares the intimate details of her life, but from the photos, it looks like a stressful time for our favorite pop diva. Hopefully it'll get resolved soon.
Should Jordan have moved his stuff out sooner? Tell us your thoughts below!

I have a Laser Etching and Engraving Machine with which I can put Pictures and text on a variety of materials.
Here you can see some of the work I have done over the years. I use a couple of different methods to etch the glass and do custom work. One method is laser etching which is shown here in the album called Laser Pics. The other method I use is a dremel tool with diamond tiped bits. Both methods are shown in the photos area. Just go to the upper left corner of the Home page, and click on Photos to see the pics I have done with a laser and dremel tool. If you have a pic you would like on glass, wood, leather, anodized metals, or just about any other material, please email me at email@example.com or call (435) 820-6394 and I will get back to you as soon as posible.

Flaws found in RealNetworks media player

RealNetworks fixes 'highly critical' flawApril 21, 2005
Flaws found in Windows-based media playersOctober 28, 2004
The vulnerabilities affect RealPlayer on all versions of Windows, according to two short advisories that eEye Digital Security published Thursday. To exploit the flaws, an attacker would craft a special media file and host it on a Web site or trick a user into opening it, Steve Manzuik, security product manager at eEye, said Friday.
"I don't think there is an immediate risk to users. We have no evidence of others knowing or exploiting the flaw," Manzuik said.
Researchers at eEye told RealNetworks about one of the flaws on Nov. 16 and reported the second on Nov. 30, according to the advisories. eEye regards a patch as "overdue" 60 days after it has reported a vulnerability, so RealNetworks has some time to come up with a fix for the bugs.
Word of the latest flaws in RealPlayer comes just weeks after the SANS Institute, a nonprofit research group, warned that cybercriminals are shifting their attacks from operating systems such as Windows to media players and other applications. Earlier this year, researchers at Internet Security Systems warned that antivirus scanners are a target for hackers.
eEye said it has also found flaws in iTunes and QuickTime, two media player applications from Apple Computer. Those flaws were reported to Apple on Nov. 17.
Representatives for RealNetworks could not immediately be reached for comment.

- Does anyone care???
- RealNetworks entire set of software is a massive flaw. No one I
know uses anything offered by Real. And I rarely see the .rm file
type on the internet. CNET may be one of the few still offering Real
as an option for watching video clips.

Houston — The Angolan general-consul in Houston, Júlia Machado, last Sunday called on all Angolan citizens residing in the southern zone of the United States to be ambassador for peace, and to young people he suggested dedication to the studies for prosperity of the country.
Speaking at a ceremony held to celebrate the 37th independence anniversary of Angola, which took place in Houston, the consul gave a brief account of the moments that preceded the proclamation of national independence, on 11 November 1975.
The Angolan diplomat stated that this independence anniversary happens in a time of peace and democracy, which represents a motive for feeling proud.
She stressed that Angola one day will be a prosperous and very important nation in Africa, adding that all Angolan children must participate in the country's development.
The ceremony included a music/cultural show that was enlivened by the Angolan singers Yuri da Cunha, Titica, the traditional dance group Muntweno and the Showista do Semba duet.

Your Daily John Daly Update
It's later in the day, so nothing can really get you up for the remainder of the day like a John Daly update. (You know, other than the news that Red Bull is coming out with a Cola - so pumped.)
I'm not totally familiar with the European Tour dress codes, but I'm assuming Mr. Daly had to wear a shirt today in his first round of the Open de Espana in Seville, Spain.
Daly shot a three-over 75 to sit in a great tie at 115th position after uno day.
Another interesting fact about Seville - if you say "Gracias" to people, you have to actually lisp the word, kinda like how Texans say "pELLow" or Bostonians call it a "pAAAwk." See, we're so traveled here in these parts.
Mr. Daly's round, broken down:
Four Birdies
Eight pars
Five Bogeys
One Double Bogey
John Daly - Mr. Consistency.

Sarah Brosnan
Ph.D., Emory University, 2004
My research interests lie in the intersection of complex social behavior and cognition. More specifically, I am interested in mechanisms underlying cooperation, reciprocity, inequity, and other economic decisions in nonhuman primates from an evolutionary perspective. This includes, but is not limited to, questions of what decisions individuals make and how they make these decisions, how their social or ecological environments affect their decisions and interactions, and under what circumstances they can alter their behaviors contingent upon these inputs.
One of my current projects is an NSF funded investigation comparing three species of nonhuman primates and humans in their response to a cooperative economic game. Often, these studies are not comparable due to methodological differences, minimizing the effectiveness of the comparative approach and providing little insight into the evolution of the behaviors. We are currently investigating whether these species will cooperate when given the opportunity to do so and how factors such as partner identity, equity in payoffs, and the context of the task affect their performance. This research is being done jointly at the Language Research Center of GSU and with Bart Wilson at the Interdisciplinary Center for Economic Science of George Mason University.
A second major interest of mine is the evolution of responses to inequity. This requires animals to take in to account both their own and others' rewards or procedures, and makes subjective assessments of their outcome based upon these changing parameters, and likely involves emotional responses as well as conscious decision making. In the past I have demonstrated this phenomenon in both capuchin monkeys and chimpanzees, as well as demonstrating that subjects take account of both the rewards and their partners' behaviors and that social context affects reactions. I have also investigated the flip side of inequity, or how individuals respond when they are advantaged, to more fully integrate this research with the human literature. Currently we are working on assessing how group dynamics affect the response, how control of the situation alters responses, and the relative impact of inequity towards the self versus inequity towards another, as well as extending this research to other species.
Finally, I am interested in barter, or exchange, behavior in nonhuman primates. I have investigated how capuchin monkeys and chimpanzees understand the barter interaction, and ongoing work assesses their abilities to utilize a barter efffectively. The exchange paradigm can also be effectively used to investigate other behaviors such as inequity and endowment effects. I currently have several ongoing projects investigating barter and using the paradigm as a tool to investigate other pheneomena.

Dealing with the death penalty: Kathleen Wrigley has lived it as wife of prosecutor, sister of victim
May 25, 2013 in The Dickinson Press
FARGO Many know her husband as the prosecutor of North Dakota's only federal death penalty case, one of the most horrific crimes in this region's history. What many don't know is that while then-U.S. Attorney for North Dakota Drew Wrigley was prosecuting Alfonso Rodriguez Jr. for Dru Sjodin's abduction and murder, Kathleen Wrigley was embroiled in her own very personal death penalty ordeal.

Spot fines for motorists will remain in force, as scrapping them will be costly, Police Commissioner General Augustine Chihuri has said.
He said spot fines for motorists who flout traffic rules would not be scrapped anytime soon despite complaints that they were being used to solicit for bribes by traffic police.
Comm Gen Chihuri last week said that scrapping the spot fines would be costly.
"There has been a lot of outcry from members of public about spot fines," he said.
"Spot fines are here to stay, otherwise without them the process of going to court for a US$10 spot fine will need more than US$500.
"Therefore, at the end of the day it would become counterproductive that you try to pursue US$10 using US$1 000 or more. Spot fines are there and will facilitate the process of ensuring that people comply with the law.
"I just wanted to make that known for the benefit of those who are used to complaining."
Comm Gen Chihuri was speaking during the unveiling of licensing enforcement equipment by the Zimbabwe National Roads Administration in Harare.
His remarks come after a public outcry, especially among commuter omnibus operators, that the police were demanding bribes at roadblocks.
Spot fines have been cited as a major contributor to corruption. The remarks are in contrast to Home Affairs co-Minister Kembo Mohadi who told Parliament recently that there were moves to scrap the spot fines.
He said the issue was discussed in Cabinet and Government was working on a new penalty system that will replace the spot fines.
Comm Gen Chihuri appealed to motorists to follow the law, instead of complaining.
"Those who comply with the law can never be arrested," he said.
"So, comply with the law and no one will touch you. If you don't comply, then you have no reason to complain.
"We only look for and separate those ones who break the law from law abiding citizens. That's our job.
"Like what the Bible says - the integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. Don't cry if you are crooked."
Comm Gen Chihuri said the roads have become death traps and affected Zimbabwe's social life.
He called on traffic cops to fully enforce the law on the roads.
"I am aware that our roads were designed for vehicles which were far slower and vehicles which were of low speed," said Comm Gen Chihuri.
"Modern vehicles have more speed and the bulky goods are now being transported using road rather than the railways.
"So, it's a challenge to law enforcers, but with regard to this development, it will make our job easier."
Comm Gen Chihuri took a swipe at commuter omnibus drivers for disregarding traffic laws and warned them that they will be dealt with thoroughly.

FOR Joanita Kilimba of Langoni village of Pangani District, the day starts at 2.00 am. That is the time when she must wake up, walk about 100 metres to a small shallow well and fetch water that the family will use for the rest of the day. However, sometimes she oversleeps and wakes up at 3.00 am or 4.00 am.
Then the cost of sleeping would be reflected by the family's failure to wash in the morning or miss their lunch because there would be no water. "We have a big shortage of water here especially during the dry season like now.
This shallow well serves almost half the population of the village so if I don't wake up as early as 2.00 am then other women will have fetched all the water and we will have none," she told members of the Journalists Environmental Association of Tanzania (JET) who visited Pangani District recently.
"Sometimes it is very dark, so my husband has to escort me here. If I am not here by three then I won't get water until may be later in the afternoon. Sometimes it doesn't matter if I am here at three because there would be a long queue of women waiting to fetch water and by the time my turn comes, there would be no more water in the well."
She explained that even after waking up as early as that the amount of water that she can get does not exceed four buckets (about 80 lts), which means anyone coming later than that usually doesn't get water and will have to wait until noon when enough would have collected in the well.
The quality of the water also leaves a lot to be desired. It is brownish and full of debris from the trees and grass around the well, a condition that called for a lengthy sterilisation process before it could be fit for human consumption.
"Usually I leave the water to settle for about one hour, then slowly filter it into another container and finally boil it before we can drink it," Mariam told the journalists. Asked if everyone in the village boils their water for drinking, she said she did not know.
"Some people don't have the time to follow this process and drink it without boiling it. Only God knows why we have not suffered from water borne diseases," she added. She told the journalists that there are water vendors in the village who sell a jerry can of 20 litres for between 500/- and 600/-.
"Many people here are poor and cannot afford this," she noted. The well which is hardly two metres deep lies on a dry river bed. The river used to flow throughout the year but it has now become seasonal.
However the villagers could not dig a deeper well because of a layer of rock they found two metres from the surface and because they did not have the appropriate equipment, they decided to stop where they did. Anyone who visits the area where the well is dug would wonder why the river has dried.
The riverbed is about a metre deep and the area has thick natural vegetation comprising tall grass and a small forest even at that time when the dry season was at its peak. It was surprising that the river had dried up even under such a healthy environment.
Langoni Village Executive Officer Omar Kibwanga (32) explained that Kirupu River used to flow throughout the year and supply water to the village of about 1, 000 inhabitants. "We had fitted a pump here which supplied water to the village.
But about five years ago the flow of water started to go down and eventually there was no water in the dry season. Even during the rainy season, water is only available for a short time and a day or two after it has rained the water disappears from the river," he told the journalists, taking them around areas where the pump house and other infrastructure had stood.
However, two structures remain standing to tell the water story in the area; a 12 metre deep well, a concrete structure from which the water was pumped to the village and a concrete abstraction that was built across the river in order to provide water to the well. An inscription on the wall reads WD& ID 1970, probably indicating that the construction was made in 1970 by the Public Works Department and Irrigation Department.
The other side of the village tells a different story. Here, Mliwaza River has substantial amount of water, enough to meet the needs of the villagers. A water pump has been installed and according to villagers, its operation was short-lived allegedly because the amount of water was too little to be pumped.
The pump now sits idle and the small pump house a piece of decoration. However, the journalists observed that the problem was not the small amount of water in the river because water was still flowing in the river and at point it was deep enough to sink an adult person.
They also observed that a wall which was built to harness water and create a small dam from which the water could be pumped had broken. Explaining the situation to the journalists, the Councillor for Pangani West, John Semkande, said that the problem was not the low level of water in the river, rather the poor construction of the wall meant to trap the water. "It is a problem of workmanship.
This wall has been constructed very poorly and that is why it has only stood for six months," he said. "The councillor from this part told us that they had to remove the pump because the water level was very low; he never said that the wall had collapsed because the District Council would not hear of it.
So 15 m/- that was spent here has all gone down the drain," noted Semkande scarcely hiding his anger. He had accompanied the journalists to Langoni. He said that he suspected foul play by the contractor but also thought that village leaders and the councillor had collaborated in messing up the project.
"Many villages do not have enough water for their needs but I think the situation is compounded by irresponsible and selfish leaders. This is one such case," he told the journalists. Speaking to JET members about the water situation in Pangani District, Engineer Mohammed Hamis explained that climate change has greatly affected water supply in the district.
"The quality and quantity of surface water has particularly been affected," he noted. According to the District Water Engineer, salt water intrusion in Pangani River has now gone up to eight kilometres upstream because of the rising level of the Indian Ocean. It is for this reason that pumping for fresh water to supply residents of Pangani town has to be done when the tide is low, otherwise they would be supplied with salt water.
"We are now thinking of moving the pump house further upstream to avoid supplying residents with salt water," he told the journalists. But intrusion of salt water into fresh water is not the only problem facing water supply in Pangani.
"Many small rivers that act as feeders to Pangani River have turned seasonal, flowing only during the rainy season when there is plenty of freshwater, anyway. Others have completely dried up, discharging no water throughout the seasons. As a result, the discharge from Pangani River has also gone down significantly," he explained.
In other parts of the district, people get their supply of water from deep and shallow wells but these deep wells in particular, too are being affected by salination. "Rising sea levels have not spared deep wells. Many of them now produce salt water which is not fit for human consumption and the problem is very serious in Sange village.
The district has started drilling other wells further inland in a bid to supply communities with freshwater but this requires a lot of money," he explained, adding that in many parts of the district people drink salty water with levels of salination higher than those prescribed by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
"For this reason, Tanzania has set her own standards of salt water which are lower than those of the WHO to enable people drink this water, otherwise it would be against international regulations to drink it," he revealed.
Asked what measures the district is taking to deal with the poor quality and short supply of water, Engineer Hamis said that research is being done to find out the best supply sources for the town residents. Such a source would not be affected by salt water intrusion caused by rising sea levels." Pangani Basin Water Office is conducting the research together with IUCN and other organisations.
As for the water supply problem, we are educating communities to take rain water harvesting seriously," he explained, adding that currently schools, institutions, and dispensaries are engaged in rain water harvesting. "But a strong political push is required for people to participate in this activity," he noted.

Durham claimed a crucial 15-run win over Middlesex on a tense third morning at Chester-le-Street to boost their survival hopes in Division One.
Middlesex resumed on Sunday on 58-5 in the LV= County Championship contest needing a further 60 to record victory in a match that had seen just one half-century and a highest team score of exactly 200.
Their hopes were dealt an early blow when John Simpson departed before a run had been added, Graham Onions getting the wicketkeeper caught behind for 10.
Gareth Berg was only able to contribute five and when Toby Roland-Jones, who made a valiant knock of 34, and Ollie Rayner both fell with the score on 98, Durham suddenly had the match in their grasp.
Ben Stokes was the bowler to dismiss Rayner (11) and he duly ended the match, clinching his side's first four-day win of the season in the process, when Tim Murtagh edged through to wicketkeeper Michael Richardson.
Onions enhanced his claims for an England Test recall with match figures of 6-76, while Chris Rushworth (4-41) was the pick of the Durham attack in the second innings.
Day Two
Middlesex will resume on day three needing a further 60 runs with five wickets in hand to win a low-scoring thriller against Durham at Chester-le-Street.
Having bowled out their rivals cheaply for a second time in the crucial Division One contest, England paceman Steven Finn taking the last two home wickets to finish with 4-80, Middlesex were left requiring 118 for victory.
However they suffered a disastrous start to their run chase when they lost both openers without a run on the board before left-handed duo Dawid Malan and Eoin Morgan both fell lbw to Chris Rushworth.
Joe Denly edged Callum Thorp to slip to leave the score at 38-5, but Toby Roland-Jones emerged to make an unbeaten 15 as he and John Simpson saw the visitors through to the close without any further damage being done.
They had also started Saturday's play at the crease, moving on from their overnight total on from 144-7 before being bowled out for 185, meaning a useful lead of 83.
Durham were four down by the time they had nudged ahead and although Scott Borthwick, who made an unbeaten 41, and Thorp (36) offered late contributions, they were eventually all out for 200.
Day One
Middlesex bowler Tim Murtagh claimed 3-27 as Durham collapsed to 102 all out on day one of their LV= County Championship Division One clash at Chester-le-Street.
The visitors won the toss and opted to field - a decision of immediate benefit as Murtagh trapped Durham opener Will Smith in front without scoring.
The Irish seamer then produced an excellent piece of fielding to dismiss Gordon Muchall cheaply, and when Gareth Berg sent Ben Stokes back for a duck and Murtagh located the edge of Mark Stoneman, the hosts were teetering on 24-4.
The middle-order all reached double figures at least - England star Steven Finn accounting for top scorer Michael Richardson (22) to wrap up a poor Durham effort.
Wickets fell at regular intervals during the Middlesex reply but Chris Rogers scored quickly having opened - belting 59 off 82 balls before falling to Graham Onions.
Three wickets for Stokes tore through the visitors' middle-order but they still reached stumps 32 runs ahead on 144-7 with Berg unbeaten on 30.

These horses need help
By Gary Bogue
Monday, October 22nd, 2007 at 9:41 am in Uncategorized.
There's a nonprofit horse rescue organization in Auburn, California, called Horses' Honor, run by a lady named Nina Clark. Very simply, she helps horses in need.
I just received this letter from Judy Gillivan in Walnut Creek:
Dear Gary:
Nina works to help abused, neglected and unwanted horses. She's an advocate for the older animal that can no longer perform at its peak. Horses' Honor provides sanctuary for horses that would otherwise likely face slaughter or unnecessary euthanasia. Some of the horses are rehabilitated and adopted, while others are permanent residents.
There is a tack sale on Saturday, Nov. 3, at the Auburn Fairgrounds. This is their main fundraiser.

The Left-Hander Syndrome: The Causes and Consequences of Left-handedness by Stanley Coren, John Murray, pp 308, Pounds sterling 16.95
Perhaps the least noticed and most disadvantaged minority group is the left-handed. Their bad press goes back to ancient times. After all, '(God) set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on the left . . . (saying) unto them on the left hand 'Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire'.' Today they suffer from artefacts designed by the right-handed, who take no account of how well the other 10 per cent of the population can cope. In the kitchen they have difficulty with tin-openers - although expensive left-handed versions can be found - but in the workplace they face band saws and computer keyboards, or attempt to play with hockey sticks, none of which have left-handed versions.
Stanley Coren traces the causes and consequences of being left-handed. ...

In the seven years of Franklin County High School commencements, last week's ranked among the most energetic and enthusiastic of ceremonies, as 63 seniors received diplomas as members of the Class of 2014.
The confident swagger in the gymnasium air May 29 air was seized early by Class President Jathan Martin, who snapped a selfie of himself and his classmates before offering a welcome address that featured a pop quiz.
"Now seniors, I know you thought your high school tests were all over, but here's a pop quiz. The answer to each question of this pop quiz is simple: The class of 2014," he said, before launching into four questions, each of which was responded to loudly by his classmates' collective answer.
"Which class had over 10 athletes signed to colleges?" he asked.
"Which class had students who directed and performed in Franklin County School's first Broadway production? Which class body was accepted to over 30 colleges and universities? Which class earned over 450 college credit hours? *Which class received over $600,000 in scholarship money?" Martin continued, each answer coming back "The Class of 2014," loud and clear.
"Throughout our high school career, we have enacted hard-work, determination, and resilience. So, we welcome you to the night where we birth our futures," he said. ""Tonight is the night where you will witness history. Tonight is the night where the class that has excelled far beyond any other class, will turn their tassels."
Following his receiving a plaque from Principal Eric Bidwell and Guidance Counselor Roderick Robinson for being salutatorian, and Laura Gallegos and Bria Walker each one for being valedictorian, Martin delivered the address reserved for the second best grade point average in the class.
Martin opened his address by thanking Jesus, and then his parents Sheila and Anthony Martin, of Apalachicola, "two extraordinary individuals who believed in every dream I had and did everything they could to help me achieve them.
"I thank my mentors who pushed me pass my limits. I thank my clique, every friend, and every family member who has helped to get me to this place," he said. "And a special thanks to the greatest youth department, Chosen Generation, for allowing me to hone in on my leadership skills these past years."
Martin who is headed to Florida A & M University on an academic scholarship, then referred to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have A Dream" speech. "Even though we have a ways to go, Dr. King's dream has come into fruition tonight as history has been made with a black girl, a Hispanic girl, and a little militant yella black boy achieving top rank honors in academics, in a predominantly white school," said Martin.
"Just like Dr. King, I too, have a dream, a dream deeply rooted in the success of my class," he continued. "I have the privilege to graduate with some of best students to come out of Franklin County. I have dream that today, we will set the precedent for the classes to come. I have a dream that we will be the one to defy stereotypes and lies of inferiority, and produce national success stories," he said.
Martin challenged his classmates to set goals to be the best in all their future endeavors. "And when that's done, we will be able to speed up that day when we realize that whether we are doctors, lawyers, oystermen, or waiters, we can achieve success that is noteworthy, for we should not measure our success by the number of zeroes at the end of our check, but by the number of lives we affect," he said. "Greatness lies within each one us, but we have to make the choice to tap in to it and produce something that will make an impact."
Gallegos, daughter of Antonio and Angelica Gallegos, of Eastpoint, headed to the honor program at the University of Florida, was next to speak. She said she originally planned to forego her opportunity to speak, until last week, when "a persistent and determined friend of mine convinced me to give one. She told me that if I had a message for the class that I should give it before I missed the chance to do so."
Gallegos said she went home and thought about it and decided she did have a message for her class, as well as for "my family and the families of my classmates, teachers, and mentors."
To those families, Gallegos offered thanks for their support. "None of us could have gotten here without you," she said. "You have taught us how to be better people, made sure we got to this day, and many of you are here now to see us transition to the next part of our lives."
"To my classmates, I think I speak for most of us when I say that high school went by faster than we ever imagined it would. I remember being a freshman and thinking about how long high school would be, but then when my junior year started I thought to myself where did the time go? As I think about all of my peers -- both the ones I know personally and the rest of you -- I know, without a shred of doubt that we will make a change in the world. You are all so determined and talented. I know all of you will achieve your dreams. Never give up," she said.
"To my close friends, thank you for always being there for me. You have changed my life and I am a better person because of you," Gallegos said. "I want to wish each and every one of you success in whatever endeavors you choose to pursue. Class of 2014, We did it!"
Walker, daughter of David and Harolyn Walker, of Apalachicola, also headed to Florida A & M University, was the second valedictorian to speak. She spoke in warm, direct tones to her classmates, at one time facing away from the podium to address the directly.
"Behind every graduate is a great support system. Mine just happens to be the best," she said at the outset of her remarks, which included expressions of thanks to God, her parents, guidance counselor Robinson, educational mentor Dr. Lois Catlin, and three best friends. "A big thanks to everyone who has gave me an encouraging word or piece of advice, both solicited and unsolicited," Walker said.
"I stand in front of you with a heart filled with happiness… and fear. These last four years have been filled with laughter and tears. Thank you for all of the memories made from our first color wars to senior trip; I truly have had a blast. I have one last favor to ask of you," she said. "Create a story your grandchildren won't be able to believe."
"We are always bombarded with this one question: what are you going to do after high school? Some of us already have the rest of our lives planned out. Many of us know which direction we would like to go in and yet some of us have no clue where to start," Walker said. "But that's OK. It's okay to simply not know. Now is the time to find out who you truly are."
"Many of us cannot wait to kiss Franklin County goodbye and then there are some of us who cannot imagine calling another place home. Although Franklin County is a beautiful place, this is your chance to explore what the world has to offer. So go to a few parties and have a good time; go further south and immerse yourself in different cultures; jump on a midnight train that leads to nowhere in particular; climb the world's tallest mountains; if you're looking for a hunting challenge, visit Africa and hunt their 'big 5,'" she said. "Most importantly, follow your dream. As our class quote says 'Dream what you dare to dream. Go where you want to go. Be who you want to be…. Live. Allow no one to tell you what you are capable of. We are the Class of 2014. We back down from nothing."
With the high school band, under the direction of Karl Lester, performing the accompanying "Pomp and Circumstance," the class streamed into the crowded gym in an orderly fashion, two by two, before ascending to the bleachers in front.
Class Vice President Stefan DeVaughn, a graduate with High Honors headed to the honors college at University of West Florida, led the Pledge of Allegiance. Athletic Director Mike Sweatt then sang an exceptionally vibrant rendition of the National Anthem.
Class Secretary Deborah Dempsey, who is headed to the University of West Florida, offered the invocation. She and Brook Pittman, who is headed to Gulf Coast State College) each graduated with Highest Honors, as did Gallegos, Walker and Martin.
Bidwell, together with Superintendent Nina Marks, handed out diplomas following the addresses. Class Sponsors Dolores Croom and Kassi Malcolm, together with teacher Jennifer Edwards, read the names of each of the graduates and their parents as well as their future plans.
Students earning High Honors were Andrea Cupid (Florida A & M University), Jessica Shields (Florida State University), Amber Adkins (San Antonio Community College), Ally Millender (George Wallace Community College) and Gracyn Kirvin (Faulkner University).
A diploma with Honors was given to Jennifer Stratton (Pitt University), Cameron White (Trinity Baptist College), Adriana Reeder (Faulkner University), Logan McLeod (Trinity Baptist College), Josie Turner (Tallahassee Community College), Ryan Babb, Alex Causey (Louisiana College), Shannon Fuller (Gulf Coast State College), Samantha Everson (Santa Fe Community College), Lea Venable (Gulf Coast State College), Tevis Page (Gulf Coast State College), Malachi Parker (Florida State University), James Bailey (University of West Florida), and Graham Kirvin (Thomas University).
Receiving standard high school diplomas were Brittaney Ashley (University of Florida), Dixie Back, Paul Benton III, Kristina Boyd (Gulf Coast State College), Dasia Carr (Santa Fe Community College) Ashley Carroll (George Wallace Community College), Victoria Coleman, Savannah Cook, Chad Coulter, Antonio Croom (Gulf Coast State College) Alviauna Cummings, Bobby Curry (Trinity Baptist College), Matthew Davis (Wyotech), Myel DeCourcey, Cynthia Duncan (North Florida Cosmetology Institution), Toronto Fuller (Chef school), James Gordon, Jr. (Alabama Job Corps), James Harris, Kyle Hathcox (U.S. Marine Corps), Kevin Heath, Heather Holton, Marlyn Lee (Tallahassee Community College), Cody Lyston (Technical school for welding), Austin Martina, Steven McAnally, Haleigh Ming (Haney Tech College), Morgan Mock, James Newell (Trinity Baptist College), Wesley Norred, Kristen Putnal (LPN program at Lively Tech), Mason Ray (Trade school), Caulin Sheridan (Tallahassee Community College), Dallas Shiver, Kyle Smith, Justin Spann (Technical school), Michael Stevens (Technical school), Leonard Ward (Gulf Coast State College), and Mercury Wynn (TCC Pat Thomas Law Academy).
Each student presented the class flower, the lily, to their loved ones, as hug, kisses and tears abounded.
A slide show prepared by Edwards and the yearbook staff followed, and as the lights came up afterwards, the seniors joined in an a capella version of "When I'm Gone," with soloists interspersed among the recitation by rows, or by guys and girls, or the right section and the left.
After Marks authorized the turning of the tassels, Elinor Mount Simmons, who chaired the graduation committee, wished all well as students and their families alike filed out of the gym into the clear, cool summer evening.

Coal Fired Brick Oven Construction
I'd like to build a coal fired pizza oven like they use at Lombardi's, Grimaldi's, etc. in NY for commercial use. Anyone ever build one of these or use them enough that they know the design? I'm just wondering if it differs much from the design of the wood oven?
Re: Coal Fired Brick Oven Construction
Far as I know, and remembering the coal fired ovens I saw as a kid in NYC, they are always "white" ovens, meaning they are heated from below and not directly in the baking chamber the way "black" bread or pizza ovens are.
Alf, a member here from the UK, might have some knowledge of their construction. I've never built one.
Re: Coal Fired Brick Oven Construction
Coal Vines here in Dallas has the anthracite coal burning in the oven chamber. They may have some pics at Welcome to the official Coal Vine's web site!
The pizza is really good...the ovens there are more barrel shaped than pompeii style.
Do you think you could burn coal in the standard dome pizza oven and still get good results??
Re: Coal Fired Brick Oven Construction
Hmmm... don't have an answer for you, but heres some rambling thoughts on coal fired ovens...
I've been Frank Pepe's & Sally's in New Haven, CT as well as Lombardi's in Brooklyn , Patsy's in the Bronx, and Anthony's Coal Fired down here in Ft Lauderdale... These are all coal fired places... All of these but Anthony's use a huge and I mean HUGE oven... you could fit a small car in Frank Pepe's oven I would guess... my feeling is that these ovens were originally built for bread.. and at the time, there wasn't a local skill set to build a round more typical italian style oven.. and beyond that, the use of coal was more a function of cost than anything... wouldn't coal have been cheaper and more readily accessible in "the city" back in the 20's, 30's, and 40's when these places started popping up?
And since then, in my opinion, you've seen this pizza "genre" arise out of the "coal fired" mystque, which probably arose out of nothing more than convenience and economics... New Yorkers who grew up on coal fired migrate around the US.. to Dallas... to Miami.. and open up Coal Fired pizza joints.. and their smashing successes.. is it cause their coal fired? I don't think so.. I think it's because the average gas fired pizza place just SUCKS! (a notable exception would be DiFara's in Brooklyn, which was closed to due health code violations recently.. so I've heard...)
Not sure about the place in Dallas, but Anthony's Coal Fired uses an Earthstone oven.. which is a good commercial oven, but nothing I'd base a home built oven on..
Oh yeah.. I saw a thing on TV the other day.. a TV chef did a spot with the owner of Frank Pepe's.. actually made a clam pizza and used the approx 15' long peel to place it in their huge oven.. it was a good show with some unique info on a very historic place.. but one piece of information jumped out at me.. if I recall correctly, the owner said the cook time for his pizzas is about 7 minutes.. they are good pizzas.. I've been there, I know.. and I could see he was working with a very wet dough.... but this tells me he's working around some of the inadequacies of his oven... longer cook time.. need a wetter dough to maintain moisture... just would have thought he would have higher temps in that big coal fired oven...
Alot of rambling.. I know.. one more thing.. I'm in the software business and one of the big issues with software implmentations is dealing with why things are done a certain way over a long period of time... alot of times people do things without really knowing WHY they do things... here's a little story we refer to from time to time: "my wife cooks a ham every Thanksgiving and cuts the ends off of each side during the cooking process.. it comes out really good, don't get me wrong, but I asked why she cuts the ends off.. she says.. I don't know.. my mother did it that way.. so we ask here mother... why do you cut the ends off the ham?? I don't know, my mother did it that way... so we call up the old lady in Boca at the retirement village.. why did you cut the ends off of the ham?? Cause my oven was too small at the time and it wouldn't fit in...." HAHA... HAHAHAHA..AHAH.HAHA.... :D
With that said.. what is a "coal fired oven"? Is it shaped differently or just a regular oven fired with coal? Why were some of these historic ovens built so large? Why are they rectangular? Does coal fired pizza taste better than wood fired pizza? Could it be that some of our answer follow the lines of our story above?
It's taken awhile, but at this point I'm sure you see where I'm coming from... if you want to build a coal fired oven, I won't frown.. have at it.. it will be interesting to see what shape it takes, size, etc.. I don't think anyone here has attempted to build one... so while you will get plenty of general building advice and good specific advice on firebrick, mortar recipes, structural questions, etc., you won't find "coal fired" construction advice.
One last question? And this one may sound stupid, cause I'm down in Florida, but where do you buy coal? Is it cheaper than wood in some places today?
BTW, note to CanuckJim: I'm almost positive Patsy's uses coal "in the oven" which would make it a black oven technically.. and an exception to the rule I guess... pretty sure I saw some smoldering coal in there before.. you're probably right on the others.. I've never seen a live fire / burning coas in any of the other places I've been too..
(disclaimer) This post is in no way meant to be offensive. Please take my input here as my opinion only and not necessarily the opinion of most of the folks here.. maybe some of them, but not all of them.. maybe none of them... ;)
Re: Coal Fired Brick Oven Construction
One of the things that confuses me with coal ovens is that bouncing heat from the flame of a wood-fire on one of the key parts of a good pizza and part of what delivers a 90 second to 2-3 minute pizza. If you cook a pizza longer than that, you are already compromising moistness in the crumb and crispness of the crust. I think that is one difference you can taste between a really good 5 minute pizza on a pizza stone and 2 minute pizza in a brick oven.
I have asked a number of our producers here, and the folks at Caputo what they think about coal ovens, and they all say the same thing. Where's the flame?
That said, I have never eaten a coal fired pizza -- so I can't comment on whether I like the pizza.
If I was starting a new pizzeria, I would definitely go wood-fired. If there were serious reasons I couldn't do wood, I would go gas-fired -- as there is a new Italian burner that does a good job of mimicing the flame and heat of a wood fire.
That's my two cents.
Re: Coal Fired Brick Oven Construction
Well one can buy charcoal anywhere as you know but I don't imagine that's too cost effective. I happen to live an hour away from a huge lignite coal site so buying it is no problem and I assume it's no problem to burn in an oven either (toxic?)?
Re: Coal Fired Brick Oven Construction
I live in Connecticut, not far from New Haven and have been to Pepe's and Sally's a few times. I can't answer Jame's question "Where the flame", but there is another restaurant (actually three of them) in CT called 'First and Last Tavern'. They have a very large, old coal fired 'white' oven. The coal fire sits in a separate chamber just behind the main cooking chamber, separated by a half hieght wall. The heat has direct access to the cooking area by bouncing off the ceiling, but the fire isn't directly in the same area. I think you would need to build a very large oven to try to duplicate this approach. They have a temperature gauge that I think read 800 when I was there last. They pizza is very good-similar to Pepe's or Patsy's, but without the long wait.
Re: Coal Fired Brick Oven Construction
I've still got some newbie in me, but I'm not sure why the coal ovens HAVE to be so big??? Any idea? ... or is this a leftover from the days when they were cookin' everything in the ovens, not just za?
Re: Coal Fired Brick Oven Construction
Re: Coal Fired Brick Oven Construction
A disappointing development at the new Coal Vines in Southlake...their new ovens will use coal, gas, AND infrared. Talk about belt and suspenders! Maybe they should just integrate a conveyor belt too. Allegedly will improve consistency of the pizzas - but I think it really compromises the integrity of the pizza...a nice little artisan shop gearing up for chain-link homgenization. Uggh.
On a side note, I did stop by the new restaurant in southlake TX and the ovens weren't working so they had no pizza! However, the staff was incredibly gracious...I had just changed a flat tire in 100 degree heat on the side of the highway and probably looked like a nut. They helped me find a local tire store, set me up with some ice water, and the manager gave me a card for a free pizza!
