text: The Show Catwalk Fashion Shows Spring/Summer 2010 Ready-To-Wear Altuzarra 13 September 2009 Erin Hazelton JOSEPH ALTUZARRA moved from Paris to New York a season ago, bringing with him the edgy sex appeal that only a French woman can own. Last season the designer focused on clean, monochromatic looks that clung to the body like cellophane. This season, Altuzarra loosened his silhouette by allowing hemlines to fall naturally awry, like the bottom of Pocahontas' skirt, soft leather being his material of choice. The leather was embellished with wide caning detail and soft, white or pink point d'esprit silk ruffles or cotton eyelet.As usual, he worked in only a few shades, choosing khaki, brown, and white, with the occasional pale pink accent, and a sparing, but deft use of a Navajo-like diamond print. Leather and silk were patchworked together, lending a homemade innocence to overtly sexy looks – fitting since Altuzarra cited the provocative French film Emmanuelle as his inspiration.A short leather overall set (no shirt, thank you) paired with over-the-knee boots in the Navajo-print was jaw-droppingly good, as were his slim trousers with over-sized, low-slung, droopy pockets. That said, some of the patchwork dresses seemed a tad too fussy with all that they had going on, although the white (dare we say bridal?) gowns that closed the show were a perfect assemblage of point d'esprit, eyelet and lace. These final looks were almost virginal. Almost.SEE THE ALTUZARRA SHOW ARCHIVE

Get rid of ol?
Hi everybody. I've been struggling with this for a while now as I'm new and learning. I have a problem in which I am trying to make the background of an item change to the color red and extend the whole width of the page 100%. So far I have been unable to do this with the ordered list for the numbers because of the grid structure I have in place. I have pretty much come to the conclusion I should ditch the ol and just create a hard coded numbered list for each item so the color can extend the whole width.
Am I missing something here?
What is it you're trying to accomplish with using an ordered list?
What I can see directly is that you've mixed up a few tags (the end tag of the spans always needs to come before the end of the paragraph), and that you've also mixed up the elements a fair bit. If you're using a list, it cannot contain other elements as direct children than li-elements. However, a li-element can contain others such as paragraphs, divs and headers.
body, ol { padding: 0; margin: 0; }
@wofcry911 ... of course it's as simple as that. :-/ @Melindrea Yes...agreed it's very messy. Mainly for the purpose of trying to get the ol to work across muliple divs... but also because, well I'm new at this. haha
You could also try using counter-increments, as I just mentioned in the other post.
If you want it to be an ordered list of grids, wrap the divs with
.
Basically something along these lines:

(bunch of divs/etc, one full block)

(the second block)

Mottie's point about counter-increments is also quite good, if that is all you want out of it being an ordered list.

Second Meteor Shower Might Join Geminids This Week
NASA says second comet could produce up to 30 meteors per hour.
Sky watchers on Dec. 13 -14 may get a double show. NASA scientists say a second meteor shower may appear near the constellation Pisces, according to NASA Science News. The shower could be active at the same time as the anticipated Geminid, which forecasters say could be the best meteor show of the year.
The source of the new shower is Comet Wirtanen, according to Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office. Cooke recommends that sky watchers have a meteor night after sunset on Dec. 13 when the criss-crossing debris streams could produce the greatest combined number of shooting stars.
He said meteors from the new shower, if they appear, would be visible in the early evening, while the Geminds would be more visible later in the evening up until dawn.
The Geminids are in the east sky, while the new shower would be in the south sky. Astronomers are waiting to name the shower to see if meteors actually materialize.
The forecast our area tonight is mostly clear, and a new moon phase will help with visibility in the night sky.

Paul Ryan has a constant companion on the campaign trail -- a weighty burden he clearly can't live without.
It's an oversized, well-worn brown briefcase that holds about 40 pounds of paperwork that he's been studying nonstop to prepare for his debate with Vice President Joe Biden.
Ryan sat down for an exclusive interview with CNN to give some insight into how he is getting ready for his 90-minute face-off.
As he held the bulging briefcase in his lap, he told us that this is the way he has gotten ready for moments large and small his whole life: intense study.
"I do a lot of reading, that's what I've always done -- briefings and reading," Ryan said.
We asked Ryan about what one of his hunting partners told us about how he prepares to go after his prey, usually deer.
The friend said that before Ryan goes hunting he washes his clothes in unscented detergent, takes a shower with unscented soap and sprays unscented material on his boots -- all steps that hunters are known to take generally, but Ryan takes it to a completely different level.
"If you're into archery and bow hunting, that's the way to do it and be successful. I like the strategy of bow hunting and it takes a lot of preparation and I do take it seriously because I am much more successful if I do things properly and prepare the right way," Ryan said.
"I have always just believed that if you're going to do something, do it well."
How does Ryan's hunting prep mirror his debate prep?

Fermilab Director Pier Oddone announced in August that he will retire on July 1, 2013, prompting Fermi Research Alliance, LLC to appoint a 16-member committee to conduct an international search for his successor. The committee, led by former Lockheed Martin chairman and CEO Norman Augustine, seeks input from the particle physics community and Fermilab employees throughout the search process.
Fermilab and other U.S. institutions have made major contributions to the construction of the Large Hadron Collider and its particle detectors, located at CERN in Europe. From the discovery of a Higgs-like particle to the search for new subatomic forces, U.S. Scientists play a major role in research at the LHC.
Fermilab serves as the U.S. Hub for the nearly 1,000 scientists and engineers from U.S. universities and laboratories who work on the CMS experiment at the LHC. From the LHC Remote Operations Center at Fermilab, they can monitor the collisions produced by the machine in Europe.

The objective seemed impossible: a simultaneous reduction in fuel consumption and exhaust emissions while meeting Euro VI emission standards. In the Record Run Buses 2012 the new Euro VI-certified Mercedes-Benz Citaro urban regular-service bus and the new Setra ComfortClass 500 touring coach demonstrated that the two seemingly conflicting goals can be achieved at the same time. During the Record Run Buses 2012 the five buses covered a total distance of 18,000 kilometres under impartial supervision.

I had a house listed with Mr. Pierce and was not impressed. He listed the property and let it set. He has to much on his plate and did not work my property.
Response from Dwayne on 08/17/2012
This is a bogus comment they say it was a house at 238 Walnut and there is no such house,and I have never had a house on Walnut street Listed this is probably from a jealous realtor. In 2011 I sold over 6 .8 Million here in Glasgow.
I would highly recommend Dwayne Pierce as a top rate realtor.
His professionalism was the very best.
I feel that the extra advertisement that he does was a key factor in getting my house sold.
His negotiating skills were second to none.
Due to his expertise I have since then, also purchased and relisted another house with him.
His local knowledge and responsiveness were key factors in my chosing him.

Laptop Charging Stations
Materials: 2x4 Ikea Expedits, power strips (5+), casters (optional), Expedit Doors, zip ties. Tools: power drill, Forstner bits, staple gun, countersink bit, 3/4" screws.
1) Assemble Expedit as directed.
2) Take apart 2 power strips and drill through the power strip and the shelf in a location where the screw will not come in contact with the electrical pieces of the power strip. Use those as templates for the other shelves.
3) Reassemble the power strips.
4) Place the power strips.
5) Drill through the bottom of the shelves using a countersink bit. Screw your 3/4" screws through the shelf into the base of the power strip.
6) Continue until all four power strips are installed.
7) Assemble and install the Expedit doors *backwards* so that you are seeing a flat panel on the front of the Expedit and the door is on the back.
8) Drill a hole between the two door units big enough for a plug to fit through.
9) Using a small Forstner bit, drill a notch into the bottom left shelf so that the plug can go directly into the cube that is covered with a door.
10) Drill a similar hole in the bottom right shelf, bit enough to allow three power cords to go into that cavity.
11) Staple a row of zip ties down the center of the Expedit. You may need to lightly hammer the staples into the zip ties to get them flush.
12) Line up the cords along the zip ties and secure them.
13) Put the bottom left cord through the shelf and the hole drilled between the two door cavities.
14) Plug all of those plugs into a power strip in the bottom right door cavity.
15) Drill a hole through the bottom of the door for the cord of the power strip to get out to an outlet.
16) Trim the zip ties.
Use a Sharpie close in color to the color of your Expedit to mask the particle board where holes are cut.

I was taught in school that this is a bad idea. Having 4 power strips going into 1 larger power strip will create a lot of heat and a fire hazard. I hope this does not happen. At least they have a surge protector.
ReplyDeleteRepliesYou are right, but as long as you don't plug in water boilers instead of laptops you should be ok.
Standard laptop chargers are rated at 60W x 6 x 4 possible plugs = 1440W which is less than your average electric water kettle, so you should be safe on this one.A fully loaded one has 16 machines in it rated at 60W. Since the the four sub-strips plug into the base strip (and they aren't chained) the only cord dealing with a lot of current is the power strip that is actually plugged in. Under full load we are looking at 8 amps which is still well below the power rating for the bottom surge protector.
So yes, avoiding chaining extension cords and power strips are good rules of thumb but in this case the design is totally safe.

Don't get me wromg: The idea is great, but this seems to be a huge effort for an Expedit with 4 accessible power strips. Espacially asyou waste the bottom two shelfs.
ReplyDeleteRepliesI guess it depends where this thing would be standing. Maybe in office, in some public space where a lot of clients. I suffer from lack of power outlets in the university where everybody's got their laptop and there's no place to charge them.
DeleteThese are in a school, we have them in the cafeteria, lobbies and where students get ready for physical education. We agree that they wouldn't make sense for home use.
They serve to charge laptops for students during the school day as a typical laptop doesn't hold a charge over 4 hours and trying to plug in during classes is not ideal.Are you serious? These are being put in a school? Sure, what you said elsewhere is true in that technically you shouldn't be pulling too much on the strips, but in a school you're seriously putting multiple strips on each other? Do you realize that its illegal? It breaks a number of fire codes and safety codes and if its ever discovered you could be seriously screwed.
Delete- AnonymousFebruary 10, 2013 4:50 PM
Go ahead and quote the legal statute this violates (making this illegal) so we'll all know. We'll wait... oh you can't? that's because you are posting out of your ass.z
Delete Since you asked, you'd be cited under NFPA 1, Fire Code, Section 11.1.7, Extension Cords.
18.104.22.168 Extension cords shall be plugged directly into an approved receptacle, power tap, or multiplug adapter and shall, except for approved multiplug extension cords, serve only one portable appliance.
The Uniform Fire Code, Section 85, has similar verbiage, if you live in a State where that is the enforced Code.
Together, the cover just about every jurisdiction in the USA.

I understand what was done here, I just can't understand why you did it. What's the purpose of it? To charge numerous laptops at once? Or to just charge one or two at a time (i.e. one per cubby-hole)? Please explain and post more pictures if there are. Thank you.
ReplyDelete So weird. The objective is to charge up to 24 devices in 4 cubbies? I'm not sure you can even fit that many there, unless they were ultrabooks. Not to mention the mess the power supplies would introduce.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousFebruary 06, 2013 3:42 AM
guys... you can charge notebooks even if they are closed. ;-)
ReplyDelete - AnonymousFebruary 06, 2013 10:43 AM
Yikes - the idea of plugging power strips into another power strip into a wall outlet or (worse) into an extension cord is an electrical fire waiting to happen. I can understand the need to have a place to charge one or two devices in a home, but if you are charging that many at once, a home-built solution like this is not a good one.
ReplyDelete - imajoebobFebruary 06, 2013 3:51 PM
To pile on...
Power strips into power strips creates resistance, even without additional load.
Power strips usually come with molded bases that you can slide onto a mounting screw, instead of tearing it apart and "reinventing the wheel."
Mounting a single strip across back would be enough to conenct all the laptops you can fit into all four of the Expedit cubbies.
Better yet, just hang an "Octopus" extension cord on the back of it.
Methodically analyzed, but don't get so locked in to a single solution that you miss simpler, more elegant answers.RepliesIt depends on your scenario, in our case we are in a school. Any power strip on a mounting bracket can be unmounted easily. That is not ideal for us. Additionally, when buying 30 power strips it is really nice to be able to by the inexpensive ones.
Mounting a strip across the back would require students to get behind the expedit to plug in and wouldn't allow us to anchor it to the wall safely. Using an Octopus extension cord wouldn't look as good and would actually be more expensive.
We considered a variety of solutions before arriving at the above design.
As for the "danger" in the the power strip scenario, the only cord more likely to heat up is the one coming out of the base power strip and in that case it is only drawing 8 amps. The total cord length from any laptop to the wall is still well below even a short extension cord. I wouldn't recommend anyone turn it into a shelf for toasters, actually you shouldn't even be running a toaster through any type of extension cord, but for 16 laptops it is well within the specifications of the power strips.
When I saw the picture on the main page, my first thought was "it's for a school." After reading more, I am wondering... Are these for school laptops or personal ones? If it's for the school's laptops, are they different models? If they were all the same, it might make sense to leave the power supplies there, but I'm guessing it's for personal laptops?
Also, what about security? No worries about theft or vandalism?
If there are multiple laptops per cube, do the students just stack them? Have you considered small shelves or maybe vertical dividers (like a plate rack perhaps?)
In any case, this is pretty nifty! Good job!Regardless of whether or not the amperage adds up, this is a violation of both OSHA and NEC. The reason it's against code is that although you're correct that laptops won't overload the power strips, what happens when someone (who either isn't so swift or doesn't realize there is a daisy chain) plugs in a coffee maker and vacuum cleaner and space heater?
http://www.compliance.gov/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/fastfacts_daisychains.pdf- AnonymousFebruary 10, 2013 5:35 PM
There seem to be a good number of people concerned about daisy chaining power strips together. Resistance and the accompanying heat can be a problem, but only if the connection doesn't have a circuit breaker or fuse in them.
The 4 cheap power strips aren't subject of any more current than if they were plugged directly into the wall. The Belkin surge protector the cheap strips plug in is subject to 4x the maximum current of each individual strip (plus extra current lost as heat from resistance), this is where your potential fire hazard is. But, as long as the Belkin surge strip is fused, it will never be able to draw enough current to cause a fire without first tripping its fuse (or breaker) and shutting the whole thing down.
The hazard is chaining multi-taps together when they don't have overcurrent protection. Warnings on chaining don't bother discerning between what is and isn't a fire hazard because the "don't ever do it" message is easier to convey. - AnonymousFebruary 10, 2013 11:11 PM
Fire Department WILL cite you for this no mater how much math you show them to prove there isn't any overload risk.
I hope your not using this in a pace of business. It will be a red flag for any inspection. Any power strip needs to be plugged directly into a wall outlet.

"There are no revelations here," Buchwald said of the so-called God letter. "But it is frank in the sense that there are other writings where he says he understands a need for religion and is not derogatory. ... Here he makes his own position very clear."
In the letter about to be offered on eBay, Einstein drove home his strong opposition to the idea that Jews, or any people, may be "chosen."
Here's part of what he wrote, according to the Auction Cause translation:
For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups ... I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them.
Buchwald, who has dedicated her life to making Einstein's works available, believes any discussion of historic documents has value, but she is critical of how this letter is being presented.
There are word choices in the translation that she, as a German speaker, would tweak. She also doesn't get why it's said to be written on Princeton University letterhead, when a blown-up image shows it wasn't. Einstein wasn't even employed there, she pointed out; he was with the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, not at Princeton.
Though she views such incongruities as "a bit muddy," she said she wishes the auction agency and seller luck. "It's just hype. ... I don't have a horse in this race."
The letter first became fodder for public discussion and mass fascination when the original sold at a London auction in May 2008 and "poured gasoline on the culture wars between science and religion," The New York Times reported. Back then, it fetched a mere $404,000. Among the bidders who reportedly lost out that time around: big-name atheist and author Richard Dawkins.
Gazin of Auction Cause, which pairs marketing with charities, said the 2008 anonymous buyer sought his group out for the Einstein letter's sale after noting the agency's other successes. Topping the list: the $2.1 million raked in for an October 2007 letter from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and signed by 41 other Democrat leaders, demanding an apology from Rush Limbaugh.
"More than a few" potential buyers have gotten prequalified to enter this upcoming Einstein letter bidding war, Gazin said. He described those expressing interest so far as people in the technology and atheist communities, as well as university and public museums.

Heiwashi, also Known as The Hyuga Monk or Phoenix Guardian casually strolls around the Lightning country with his Byakugan activated looking for some sort of fun. As he walks he takes a bite of an apple that is in his right hand while he uses his left hand to grab the war fan from his back which he uses to cut a stray bird in half with a simple vertical strike.
Heiwashi: Ahh damn bird, flying in my presence is a no no (throws the apple to the ground) Hm, I wonder if Missing-Nin can take casual strolls without problems around Kumo, but then again problems sometimes equal a fun time. Meh I need not talk to myself, if someone saw me they'd think I'm crazy.
The Monk continues talking to himself whilst walking around, randomly slashing down wild animals such as bears, wolverines, wolves and birds.

Group 1 2012 Gate 5
In this gate, we finalized our findings and reviewed our process and presented them in a technical report. In addition to a written report about the project, we also presented a proposed revision discussed in Gate 4 to the class and instructors.

Technical Report
Executive Summary
Product Analysis Summary
The analysis process for the piano primarily focused on a dissection and reverse-engineering of components and systems. The following is an overview of the main stages of analysis we performed.
Dissection and Reconstruction
The parameters of the analysis project required us to disassemble the piano down to its base components, and later reassemble the piano back to its original working functionality. In general, both disassembly and reassembly were completed quickly and without major setbacks. We were somewhat surprised to see that virtually all of the piano was held together with Phillips head screws and glue. This made the disassembly and reassembly considerably easier than initially anticipated. Due to the extreme weight and relative fragility (it is made of cast iron) of the frame, we opted not to remove it from the housing of the piano. Due to safety concerns over high tension wires snapping and the fear of breaking any of the strings, we also opted not to remove any from the frame. These decisions greatly sped up the disassembly and reassembly processes.
Product Disassembly
The following is an overview of the disassembly process. For an in-depth review, see Gate 2: Product Dissection. ever cannot be removed from the action without first removing a select few mutes from the action to expose its fastening screws.
- Remove screw-fastened pieces of the housing.
- Remove pedal assemblies, pedal bars, and linking dowels.
- Detach keys from action pull rods and then remove.
- Remove action from housing.
- Remove action end brackets from action.
- Remove hammer springs, hammer rest, and mute lever from action.
- Remove mutes and action linkage/hammer sub assemblies.
When dissecting the action, we found it extremely helpful to rest it on an elevated pedestal to allow access from as many angles of the action at once as possible. It is also important to note that several of these general steps can or must occur concurrently. For instance, the pedals are connected to the action by two easily removed dowels, their removal has almost no impact on the removal of the action. Conversely, the mute lever cannot be removed without first removing several select mutes to allow access to its fastening screws.
Product Reassembly
The reassembly was a relatively simple process, and proceeded almost exactly in reverse of the deconstruction process. Since group members already understood the subsystem layout and interaction, the rebuild went smoothly and quickly. Only two group members were needed for the reassembly. The reconstruction is covered more thoroughly in Gate 4.
The first significant deviation from the disassembly process was in the insertion of the action into the housing. Having not previously put it back into the housing, we were surprised at the amount of force and shimmying it took to properly seat the action back in the housing. Care also had to be taken to ensure that the pull rod for each hammer was attached to the correct key, and that the pedals were correctly adjusted so as not to move the mutes or hammers too close to the piano.
Analysis Process
Chris, write whatever you want as long as the bullshit to cynical realism ratio doesn't drop below 2.
Component Summary
Our analysis revealed that the upright piano can be generalized as consisting of three main components: the cast iron frame that holds the strings in place,the action that translates key depression into hammer movement, and the exterior wooden housing that supports and protects the other components.
For a more in-depth analysis of the components of the piano, see Gate 3: Product Analysis.
The action is largely an array of levers and and a four bar linkage that translates the vertical motion of the keys into the largely horizontal motion of the hammers, while yielding the user a high degree of control over the duration and speed of the hammer strike. The typical piano has 88 keys, so the action contains 88 identical sets of pull rod/action linkage/hammer sub-assemblies. 'GIF AT THE RIGHT OF THIS PARAGRAPH'
The action also contains mechanisms for modifying the tonality of every key strike: depressing the two pedals results in the raising and lowering of two bars that respectively increase the volume of the piano, and change its tonality and make the piano quieter by shifting all of the hammers closer to the strings.
The frame, as previously mentioned, is a very large and heavy piece of cast iron whose primary function is to provide support to the strings. Its considerable weight and thickness is to ensure that the strings can be placed under high enough tension to produce the correct sound without warping.
The housing is the wooden structure that supports the action and frame. It consists of glued and/or screwed together wooden planks and provides the shape of the piano. It also has a sliding cover to protect the keys.

I have been blessed this spring and summer with traveling… keeping flexibility, mystery, and adventure in my life. This is adding inspiration and expansiveness to my world in ways I had not even imagined.
Here's the latest chosen art to leave my hands on the way, the chromodoris willani Nudibranch in oil, still available as a print, in its new home.
I was recently inspired as I visited a long time friend and artist, Doug Meyer in his mid-century abode, in the Cleveland area, which was full of his sophisticated, modern, industrial furniture creations. Doug and I both having grown up in the industrial "Rubber Capital of the World" Akron, Ohio, we have a common appreciation for the creative re-use of metal and wood.
Here's his metal patchwork table circa 2009 in the Swankety Swank Grand Opening for the Divisadero Street shop window.

Allen students Xplor true meaning of holidays: School adopts its own GI program
By J. David Barron,
Published: Thursday, January 3, 2013 5:08 PM CST
There's something special about giving during the holidays that holds more significance than usual, no doubt. But when the giving sets in motion blessings that continue long after the ornaments are put back into their boxes, then the "specialness" of Christmas realizes its true nature.
Being the professional educator she is, Xplor Director Kim Wilson put 2 + 2 together when components began adding up right in front of her. Wilson discovered there was a certain family with two children enrolled since the beginning of the 2011-12 scholastic year whose dad had recently returned from Afghanistan. That's when a light bulb appeared and Wilson responded by rallying her team into action.
"We wanted to do something different to teach our students the importance of giving back to our service members this holiday season," Wilson began. "And we wanted it to show our appreciation and respect for soldiers specifically that are deployed during the holidays. It was especially important to us that we did something tangible; that [the students] were able to see and learn from."
Combining something old with something new, Wilson asked Army vet Kyle Wells to help. Wells was the dad recently returned from deployment in Afghanistan who counts two children among the school's student populace. The Xplor staff employed the proven Adopt-A-Soldier program as its core for the project. They followed by enlisting Wells to help with picking out the school's beneficiary. The group capped off its innovative concept by erecting a special "Soldier Tree" in the school lobby to help attract donations.
The program began to breathe on its own after that.
"The teachers started talking with the children about the tree as soon as it went up at the beginning of December," Wilson recalled. "Our parents then got involved and they were amazing! Once they realized how excited the children were to see what was new under the tree each day, they brought in more items than could fit under it.
"We want to build a sense of social responsibility in our students," Wilson continued. "One of the best ways to do that we feel is to consistently provide them with opportunities to help others."
The recipient of the school's largesse turned out to be Army special agent Nick Nelson. The overwhelming response from the parents and students will allow Nelson to receive as Wilson and her staff originally intended: gifts that keep on giving throughout the upcoming year.
"It will help keep the holiday spirit going for [Nelson]," Wilson said.
In addition to his gifts, Nelson will also receive cards and letters and coordinating requests regarding his necessities.
"We are so grateful for everyone's commitment to help us [with this]," Wilson said on behalf of her staff.
Chances are Nelson will be even more grateful to receive the special feeling of Christmas all year long.

ProPublica analyzed federal education data from the 2009-2010 school year to examine whether states provide high-poverty schools equal access to advanced courses and special programs that researchers say will help them later in life. This is the first nationwide picture of exactly which courses are being taken at which schools and districts across the country. More than three-quarters of all public school children are represented. Read our story and our methodology.

Spencer Bibbs Elementary School
2005 N 6TH AVE, PENSACOLA, FLA., 32503 | Grades PreK-5
Students | Total Teachers | Inexp. Teachers | |
This School |
28% |
District | 38.9K | 2,811 | 16% |
State | 2.43M | 163,474 | 19% |
Spencer Bibbs Elementary School, part of the Escambia district, is located in Pensacola, Florida. The school reports an enrollment number of 375 students in grades pre-kindergarten through five, and it has 32 teachers on staff.
Spencer Bibbs Elementary School is above both the state and district averages for the percentage of students eligible to receive free or reduced-price lunch. On average, 50 percent of students in Florida qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, while 97 percent of students at Spencer Bibbs Elementary School do. At the district level, 58 percent of students qualify.
ProPublica's analysis found that all too often, states and schools provide poor students fewer educational programs like Advanced Placement, gifted and talented programs, and advanced math and science classes. Studies have linked participation in these programs with better outcomes later in life. Our analysis uses free and reduced-price lunch to estimate poverty at schools. We based our findings on the most comprehensive data set of access to advanced classes and special programs in U.S. public schools — known as the Civil Rights Data Set— released by the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights.
The school hasn't reported or may not have a gifted and talented program.
Park Trails Elementary School is a lower-poverty school than Spencer Bibbs Elementary School, with 3 percent of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school enrolls 9 percent of students in its gifted and talented program. The school is located in Parkland, Fla.
These data points were reported by schools and districts to the Office for Civil Rights. For more information about the data, see our full methodology.
