You Can’t Stop Fighting: Tate Student That Battled Cancer Graduates Today

June 2, 2014

Halee Boyd was among the students graduating from Tate High School Monday morning. A special moment coming a year later than she had hoped. Before her senior year, she began a  battle against  Alevola Rhabdomyosarcoma , ARMS for short, a rare cancer of the muscles that are attached to the bones. Treatments and complications prevented her graduation last year.

As her class members walked across the stage last year, Halee was in the PICU and Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital. Her entire graduating class wore gold ribbons in her honor.

“”Better late than never! It took me a little longer than most, but I’m finally here, crossing the finish line. Today, I stand a little bit taller and a whole lot stronger. Get ready to watch me fly!” — was printed on Halee’s graduation invitations.

Over the weekend, Halee’s family and supporter’s painted “Graffiti Bridge” in Pensacola for Halee as a congratulatory surprise.

“If you have something to live for, you can’t stop fighting,” was painted on the bridge.

IP Awards $50K In Foundation Grants; Recipients Include Tate High, Jim Allen Elementary

June 2, 2014

International Paper (IP) Pensacola Mill has awarded $50,000 in foundation grants to local community organizations, including projects at Jim Allen Elementary and Tate High School.

“We feel privileged to be able to assist our local non-profits and community organizations in their continued efforts to serve, educate and help the residents and children of Northwest Florida,” said Janice Holmes, communications manager.

Local community organizations and their projects that were awarded IP grants for 2014 are:

  • Jim Allen Elementary School, “Eggstraordinary Readers”
    • The goal of the Jim Allen Reading Eggs program is to support each child’s learning by offering individual, one-on-one lessons that allow children to progress at their own rate.  This program fosters a love of reading at a young age so students will continue to read and to be successful throughout life. The Reading Eggs program is a powerful educational program that is based on the most up-to-date research on how children learn to read.  The program is interactive and it includes activities and reward games to keep children motivated and interested in learning to read.
  • J.M. Tate High School “Focus on Biology”
    • The Tate High School grant helps to fund lab microscopes that run on rechargeable batteries. Students will be able to visualize micro and macroscopic organisms and objects, demonstrate proper use and procedures and learn how to properly label and illustrate organisms.
  • Autism Pensacola “Kids for Camp Summer Learning Lab”
  • Ballet Pensacola, ”Discover Dance”
  • Community Action Program, “Leap for Literacy”
  • Council on Aging of NWFL, “Little Readers”
  • Escambia County Board of Education, “Smart Links Recycling Program”

  • S.S. Dixon “Read and Succeed in Science and Social Studies”
  • United Cerebral Palsy of Northwest Florida “Journey to Literacy”
  • UWF Foundation, “Best Robotics Hub” and  “Explore Summer Camps”

Grants are awarded by the IP Foundation in Memphis, Tenn., which focuses on environmental education, literacy, employee involvement and critical community needs. A portion of those funds were used to purchase National Geographic Explorer magazine subscriptions for classes in Escambia and Santa Rosa Schools.

Local Robot Sets Speed Record For Running Robots

June 2, 2014

A new land-speed record for legged robots was achieved recently by a robot that calls Escambia County home.

The Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition HexRunner robot reached an estimated 30-33 mph on an open course, without any support tethers.

The record-setting run was filmed by the Discovery Channel, which is expected to broadcast it later this summer.

“More significant than the top speed is showing that you can make a running robot that doesn’t need a lot of feedback from sensors, and you don’t need a lot of actuation,” said IHMC Senior Research Scientist Jerry Pratt, team leader of  the HexRunner project.

HexRunner is a running robot with six spring-loaded legs revolving around a  central hub, with three legs on each side of the hub. At the tip of the top leg it stands six feet high. Dr. Pratt said the speed was measured with a chase car and through analysis of high-speed motion video shot from the side.

“The speedometer on the chase car hit 33 while the robot was still running away from it,” he said. The 30 mph documented speed is a conservative figure based on motion analysis from video taken during the test. “We might be able to hit 45 mph with small modifications if we have a good run on a long enough course.”

The HexRunner is the “parent” of the OutRunner robot, a two-foot version  based on technology licensed from IHMC to Robotics Unlimited, headed by Research Scientist Sebastien Cotton, who worked on the HexRunner team.

The ultimate goal, Dr. Pratt said, is to figure out how animals run in nature, an understanding that could produce breakthroughs in robotics.

“The high-level question is how can animals run with stability at high speeds?”  he said. “And how can we make a robot to achieve the same feats?”

IHMC Research Scientist Chris Schmidt-Wetekam said one of the next goals  of the FastRunner project is to develop a fully segmented leg that more closely mimics biology.

“We’re working toward more complicated robots,” Dr. Schmidt-Wetekam said.  “Things look really promising in simulation, but it’s a lot more complicated in actuality, so we went back to basics. HexRunner checks off an important box on our checklist, and validates our simulation. OK, we can do this.”

Northview High School Class Of 2014 Graduates (With Photo Gallery)

June 1, 2014

The 113 members of the Northview High School Class of 2014 graduated Saturday.

“I’ve learned that things can change in an instant.  I’ve learned that how you react to those changes can really determine the caliber of person that you are,” Co-valedictorian Kasie Braun told her classmates. “I’ve learned that the things you earn are worth more than the things you’re given.”

“Always do the right thing, because you will, at some point in your life, reap what you sow,” Braun concluded to a standing ovation.

School Superintendent Malcolm Thomas praised the Class of 2014 for their numerous academic and athletic accomplishments, and for earning a record setting $1.7 million dollars in scholarship money.
