Defining Differentiated Instruction
Updated 01/2014
When I lesson plan with teachers, out of earshot from their fellow teachers and their principals, I can't tell you how often I'm asked, "what exactly does it look like?" when it comes to differentiated instruction.
In the education world, differentiated instruction is talked a lot about as a policy or as a solution, but rarely do educators get opportunities to roll up their sleeves and talk about what it looks like in practice.
The definition begins with this: Equal education is not all students getting the same, but all students getting what they need. Approaching all learners the same academically doesn't work. We have to start where each child is in his learning process in order to authentically meet his academic needs and help him grow. With a classroom full of children at different stages of learning, this certainly sounds overwhelming, I know. So I'd like to suggest a place to begin and provide some examples.
Start with the Student
If a child in your class is really struggling with reading, writing, organization, time management, social skills or all of the above, the first step is to find out as much as you can about her educational history and anything else. This includes learning about her interests, cultural background, learning style, and something about her home life (The youngest? Foster care? Single parent home?)
The fact is we are mainstreaming a larger number of our students to general education classes, who, 15 years ago, may have instead been assigned to a special education class. That's good news in so many ways but makes a teacher's job more challenging. This is also one of the reasons why differentiated instruction has become such a hot topic.
Several years ago, in one of the general education language arts class I was teaching, 8 of the 34 students enrolled had an Individualized Education Program (IEP). When a child has an IEP, it is required that all teachers provide accommodations and modifications to assignments and instruction for that student. Speaking of overwhelmed. I definitely was, to say the least.
So, I learned. I spent many of my conference periods combing through student files. It's amazing what you can discover about a child from doing this. For instance, I had a student with perplexing behaviors then I learned he suffered from schizophrenia. How did I find out? Looking at his file. I was a much better teacher for him after gaining this information. Of course, he had an IEP, and someone should have told me in the beginning of the year, but we all know how things -- and children -- fall through the cracks of large public schools in enormous school districts.
A Classroom Example
Making an assignment, task, or objective different for one student than the rest of the class is meeting that child where they are in their learning journey. It's okay, you don't have to feel bad or feel as if you are being unfair, or lowering the bar. You are the child's teacher and you spend enough time with her to understand what she needs. And remember, equality is about meeting the needs of the individual.
Here's an example from my teaching:
It's a high school language arts class, and students are reading a novel. The daily objective is practicing inference and application of this skill. They are writing a brief essay predicting what the character Crooks from Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men might do next. They must pull textual evidence from the book to support their predictions and claims.
But Diana is seated over there, frustrated. She is struggling with the concept of inference, partly because she is reading below her grade level. Knowing this about her reading abilities, and other challenges indicated on her IEP, do I expect her to stay the course, or do I admit that success for her with this assignment as it stands is not likely? I decide to give Diana the task of listing five adjectives to describe the character Crooks. She has to find one quote from the character in the book to prove one or more of the words she has chosen. There are similarities to these two assignments, but different enough to ensure a higher probability of success -- and learning -- for her.
A Matter of Fairness
Differentiated instruction for Diana, and for other struggling students, may mean providing a handout with sentence starters or a graphic organizer to help them with constructing meaning. It may mean providing extra time to complete an assignment, giving directions again, reducing the length of an assignment, or offering alternate assignments or projects altogether. You can also provide struggling students with leveled text -- less difficult reading that contains the same content.
(For more differentiated instruction ideas and examples from the classroom, check out this Edutopia group discussion on the topic.)
Do I pre-plan variations of an assignment? Not always, but when I know my struggling students and their challenges well enough to predict road bumps ahead for them, I'm ready.
One way to be ready? Create file folders filled with various graphic organizers, visual aides, and sentence starters for different types of thinking (cause and effect, chronological, compare and contrast, to name a few). You can quickly pull out one of these in a pinch. If a student finishes a differentiated assignment with time left, then assess if it was too easy, and add a step. If a differentiated assignment is too difficult, break down the directions even more, give them one-on-one time with you, or remove a step.
I've heard teachers suggest that making an assignment less difficult for one student is not fair to the others. But I ask: Is it a matter of what is fair, or what is right?
What are ways you differentiate instruction for the grade level and content you teach? We look forward to hearing from you!

I have also been struggling to differentiate the higher level students. I agree although time consuming a teacher must truly get to know their students. Searching student files, asking previous teachers and student/parent surveys can be helpful. Knowing a student's background can provide insight of how to better address his or her needs. I would also be open to any sugggestions of how to manage a first grade classroom to keep the other students actively engaged when I am teaching small groups in order to better meet the needs of all the students.
Gina, Great idea - knowing your students.
A bit different here. I teach computers to 750 students every 6 days. I get 45 minutes for each class.
The ONLY thing that will save us [educators] is 1) getting away from state standards, 2) work up ability grouping and 3) teach some values. No one can individualize lessons for every student in the class. It just won't happen, as much as we want it.
At present is an NEW unfunded state mandate on Bullying. The paperwork will crush the administrator in charge, and there is no consequence for the bully ! Duh!
I think I will work up a lecture on: "Differentiated Coddling". I'm sure it will be the rage on the Speaking Circuit.
I really enjoyed reading this post! As a special education teacher, differentiating instruction is a core component in my classroom. I constantly have to differentiate the content, process, and product for my students all the time. I provide additional pull-out supports for my third and fourth grade students who are on IEPs, so I have to differentiate in order for my students to be successful. My students are all on different learning levels, and what might work for one student does not necessarily work for another. I differentiate the process by incorporating visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic components in my lessons as much as possible. I use graphic organizers, as was mentioned in the original post, very frequently to aid in comprehension and to map out ideas as we cover a key skill. I use picture cards to correspond with the vocabulary words so that the students have a visual support to picture the word's meaning in their mind. I use manipulative objects in Math class quite frequently, also. And then, of course, I also have to modify assignments and assessments for some of my students, but they are still focusing on the same skills and concepts that their peers are working on. Basically, I would say that my classroom structure is centered around differentiated instruction, and I provide the necessary accommodations and modifications that my students need in order to achieve their fullest potential. I still make sure to set high expectations for my students, though; I appreciate each of my students' learning styles, and I take each student into consideration when I am developing lessons and lesson goals. Starting with the student is indeed a major point of ensuring that differentiation is successful. This was a very insightful discussion topic.
I often find that people ask what it looks like. I am beginning research for a doctoral program I am in and it is based on transitioning the knowledge base of educators from traditional styles of teaching to utilizing a differentiated instructional model; such as employing Multiple intelligences, following the concept of Jung's learning styles, experiential learning, etc. do you believe that differentiating instruction for the diverse needs of a classroom can be achieved by offering lessons that do employ these strategies?
I have a question about differentiating and scoring student work. I have several students in my classroom who are receiving inclusion and speech services. I modify their work and level it to meet their needs and abilities. In doing so I can assess how well they are performing at their instructional level. My administrator, however, has made an issue out of the fact that they are passing my class and doing well but not passing the state assessments. Her point is that I am not holding them to high enough expectations, because if I were, their classroom grades would reflect the same as the assessment scores. Isn't the goal of differentiation to allow students opportunities to excel and feel successful?
Just remember at ALL TIMES -- It's the government test that counts, and will determine your ultimate evaluation, ranking and raises. So....
Lets get those standardized test scores UP so you can work again next year. Oh, if you are PHD student you many not have to worry.
yea... education is not quite what it used to be LOL
Bruce cattanach.org
Jamie, Take a look at constructivism. It has validity, actually makes sense but won't help raise the govenment test scores. [ Ah DRATS almost works ]
Right you are. It seems as if it isn't about the students learning anymore, it is about them achieving the scores necessary to maintain government funding....and so I can keep my job. If they do not achieve government expectations, we shut down and really lose our chance to make a difference. Forget offering experiential opportunities to students and allowing them to choose a path for themselves by becoming skilled in different areas. The state tests go against what America stands for...that we are all unique individuals, differnet and talented in our own unique ways. The test is a machine that seeks out who is fit for the game and who is not; not allowing, offering, or considering entertainment of the idea that certain populations of students are skilled in different areas other than the mundane and rigorus content of thier exams. It is through my development into higher education at the doctorate level that I discover how important it is for students to become involved in differentiated instruction, experiential learning opportunities that make them successful. This is preached at the college level, yet in some schools it cannot be completed because teachers are struggling to push children to reach the expectations by the state. Students are not at reading level or comprehension level in the classrooms I am in, however, I cannot focus on building their levels individually or meaningfully because with the time constraints and pressure of passing a test, the priority becomes preparation, and not the building of real lifelong learning skills. It is all too much of a chanllenge that burdens us at the educational level.
When I first started teaching differentiating was just a term I read about in my education books. However, when I started working in a Head Start Preschool facility 3 years ago, I was totally immersed into a diverse and differentiated learning/teaching environment. I have some students who do not speak English and others who are ready to move onto Kindergarten, possibly 1st grade. Needless to say differentiating is a must in order for my students to make progress throughout the year.
I enjoyed reading this article because in our facility differentiated learning is consistently discussed and we are always looking for ways to improve our planning and implementation of our differentiated activities. I totally agree with Rebecca in regards to starting with our students. Generally, within the first couple of weeks I can get an idea of what prior knowledge my children have retained and what direction I need to begin with them. However, my first action is reviewing student's files and finding out as much information as I can prior to their arrival into my class. As teachers, we have to be prepared for the various leveled learners in our class. Differentiate in your class and watch your students soar.
What does DI really look like? It looks like a one room school house of old. It also looks like special education students being "peer tutored" by Gifted and Talented students. It "LOOKS" like we are scrambling to be everything to everybody and failing miserably. If you want to serve all the students think about ability grouping.
Individual lesson plans for 700 1st - 5th graders who you see once every 8 days.... you get the picture? I doesn't happen.

It's taken a while for the season's snow to show itself, but it looks like it's coming back with a vengeance.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for Thursday evening through late Thursday night. A total of two to six inches of snow is likely, with more accumulation in the north and northwest suburbs than in the city.
Rain will likely change to wet snow from west to east in the afternoon and evening, growing heavy at times, the weather service says. Strong winds are also likely to develop.
"Thundersnow" is possible, the weather service says, and winds may reach 30-40 mph by late Thursday afternoon, and up to 60 mph at night.
"The combination of the snow and very strong winds will result in greatly reduced visibilities and possibly near bizzard conditions," the watch says. "Falling temperatures will cause roads to become snow covered and travel treacherous. ... The strong winds may also result in minor damage and sporadic power outages."

Jo Wood: I let my kids try drugs
1:00pm Thursday 7th March 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Jo Wood has told how she offered some of her children drugs to try when they were growing up.
The ex-wife of Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie offered daughter Leah a puff of a joint when she was 15 - but the teenager was horrified.
When son Tyrone was 16 and Jo found a packet in his room which looked like marijuana but was actually dried herbs, she made sure he tried the real stuff so he'd know what he was buying next time.
"I also gave him a small packet of coke to try one evening. Irresponsible? Perhaps," the former model, who has released her autobiography, Hey Jo: A Rock And Roll Fairytale, said.
"But I would much rather he learned about these things under my roof, where I could keep an eye on him, rather than in some dodgy club taking God knows what."
Jo, who was married to Ronnie for 23 years, said of her children: "They'd see people smoke joints openly. There were times when they were quite small when they saw people doing lines of coke. We were a rock and roll family and I was open and honest."
:: Hey Jo: A Rock And Roll Fairytale by Jo Wood is published by HarperCollins, priced £16.99. Available now.

Program Overview
The MPH is a two-semester, 42.5-credit program that may be pursued on a full- or part-time basis. It is organized around a core curriculum and seven career-oriented concentrations: clinical effectiveness, global health, health and social behavior, health care management and policy, law and public health, occupational and environmental health, and quantitative methods. Each concentration offers electives that allow students to explore in depth areas relevant to their personal career goals. Moreover, the concentrations enable students in the interdisciplinary MPH program to establish a link with one or more of the school's academic departments. There is a summer-only degree completion option within the clinical effectiveness and quantitative methods concentrations.
Coming from around the globe, MPH students bring a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences to the program. The majority of these students are health professionals, with a minimum of three or more years of work experience, who are preparing for advancement in their organizations or for transition into new fields.
Prerequisites for Entrance
Applicants ordinarily hold a doctoral degree or non-U.S. equivalent in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, law, or other fields related to public health – for example, biology or other natural, behavioral, or social sciences. Individuals with a master's degree in nursing, social work, business administration, or
a field closely related to public health and who have at least three years of health-related work experience also may be considered for admission to the program. Preference is given to applicants with clearly identified career goals relevant to the program and strong academic backgrounds. Those without the required professional degree or experience should consider an 80-credit SM program offered by one of the HSPH departments.
Dual Degrees
Students currently enrolled in U.S.-based MD, DO, DMD, or DDS programs (and students at Harvard Law School) who have a career interest in public health and/or preventive medicine are eligible to apply for admission to the MPH program. Medical and dental students undertake the MPH program while on leave of absence between the third and fourth years of medical or dental school. They receive the MPH degree upon successful completion of both programs and conferral of the doctoral degree. The MPH program serves as a required academic year for residency training in general preventive medicine, aerospace medicine, or occupational and environmental medicine.
Students accepted to Harvard Law School may simultaneously pursue an MPH under Harvard's JD/MPH joint degree program. Prospective students should apply to the joint degree program either concurrently with their application to or during their first semester at Harvard Law School. HSPH coursework begins in the summer following the first year of law school and continues over the next two years.
Program Requirements
MPH students are required to complete a minimum of 42.5 credits and fulfill core requirements in the fundamental public health disciplines and a course on the ethical basis of the practice of public health. All students must select a concentration in which they complete both recommended and required courses. Additionally, all students must complete an MPH practicum as part of a culminating experience, in accordance with the guidelines of the various concentrations. Students are encouraged to consult with faculty advisers to choose elective courses best suited to their needs. Requirements and concentration guidelines are available from the Office of Education.
Degree Completion Options
MPH candidates may complete the degree requirements on a full- or part-time basis, and they may change from one status to the other. Full-time students typically complete the program in two consecutive semesters (September through May). Part-time students fulfill the requirements for the degree in two or three years. Students may elect to begin their coursework in July by enrolling in the Summer Session for Public Health Studies. Those interested in this option should contact the Office of Education for guidance.
A summer-only MPH program is available for students in two concentrations: clinical effectiveness and quantitative methods. The program can be completed by taking courses in three consecutive enrollments in the Summer Session for Public Health Studies. Students in this program also may take courses during the HSPH WinterSession. Students wishing to apply for the summer-only MPH in clinical effectiveness or quantitative methods must observe the same admissions deadlines as all MPH degree applicants.
Concentration Descriptions
Clinical effectiveness Concerned with identifying the most appropriate, ethical, and cost-effective means of providing health care through prevention, early detection, and treatment, this concentration is designed to provide the analytic and quantitative training necessary to evaluate clinical practices. Major areas of professional interest include clinical epidemiology and biostatistics, cost-effectiveness analysis, medical decision analysis, health services research, quality improvement in health care, and measurement of health-related quality of life. The concentration is limited to clinicians enrolled initially in the Summer Program in Clinical Effectiveness.
Along with the broad perspective on general aspects of public health that the program offers, this training provides a basis for identifying the health policy implications and public health benefits of clinical investigations. The concentration prepares physicians for clinical research responsibilities and for leadership roles in evaluating and improving all aspects of health care delivery. Most graduates hold positions in academic medicine.
Global health This concentration explores the emerging professional and academic domain of global health, emphasizing the development of analytical and methodological skills to effectively engage and critically evaluate key challenges, policies, and processes as they affect the health of populations in a global context across national and sector boundaries. Students are exposed to a range of disciplines, methods, and approaches as they are relevant for addressing the multisectoral nature of public health challenges, including demography and epidemiology, the organization of health systems, the ethical basis of resource allocation, political economy, health economics and financing, health and human rights, and humanitarian studies. The concentration involves opportunities to build skills in areas of strategic planning, professional networking, crisis management, and development of policy initiatives in the context of both national health systems and broader international frameworks and institutions.
The program is intended to prepare health professionals with prior international health experience for leadership roles in global health at national and international levels and to effectively translate scientific knowledge into policies that affect public health. Graduates work in national ministries of health, intergovernmental organizations, donor aid agencies, NGOs, research and academic institutions, and the private sector.
Health and social behavior This concentration is devoted to the promotion of health and the prevention of disease, especially in more vulnerable populations. Coursework emphasizes strategies for needs assessment and establishment of health objectives, data collection and analysis, leadership skills, consultation, communication, advocacy, and policy formation in the public sector. Beyond the MPH core requirements, students are encouraged to develop expertise in a focus area geared to their professional interests. These areas include identifying and understanding the origins of health disparities, community assessment, and interventions for health promotion and disease prevention. Guidance is provided to develop a more in-depth understanding of specific health problems and vulnerable groups.
This concentration prepares students to work in diverse spheres, including federal, state, and local government; advocacy groups; voluntary health organizations; and community-based primary care settings in the United States and other countries. Posts filled by graduates include state health director; medical director of programs for child, adolescent, and women's health; health policy analyst; and health educator. Other graduates have gone on to academic positions.
Health care management and policy In this concentration, students train for either a management or a policy focus. In addition to fulfilling the MPH core requirements, students select from clusters of courses to gain depth in their chosen focal area. Students who choose the management focus select from courses providing practical management skills, such as accounting, finance, operations, marketing, information systems, quality improvement, management of people, and strategy determination. Students who opt for the policy focus select from courses in health economics, political science, and applied policy in areas such as payment systems, insurance, mental health and and substance abuse, community health, and health promotion and disease prevention.
The concentration prepares students for positions in health care organizations that provide direct care (such as hospitals, group practices, and home health agencies), those that pay for and/or organize health care (such as governments, health insurers, and health maintenance organizations), and those that supply direct-care providers (such as pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology firms). Program graduates have filled many roles – from consultants and staff analysts to middle-management and executive positions.
Law and public health This concentration introduces lawyers to the science of public health, provides them with the skills needed to analyze public health problems, and allows them to design a curriculum that will meet their particular interests. Beyond the MPH core requirements, which include law-related courses, students are encouraged to develop an area of interest by choosing elective courses in a specific field such as health care delivery or environmental health.
The concentration trains leaders in the field of public health law. Graduates are prepared for careers in a variety of settings, including health or environmental law work in a law firm, an NGO, or an in-house counsel's office; policy positions in federal, state, and local government; and posts in academia. The concentration is open only to individuals who hold a U.S. or foreign law degree or who are pursuing a law degree at Harvard Law School through the JD/MPH joint degree program.
Occupational and environmental health This concentration focuses on workplace and environmental hazards, the physiological and biomechanical aspects of work, the risks posed by the interaction of genetic and environmental factors, and a practical approach to solving health problems in various work and community settings. The concentration features three areas of interest: occupational/environmental medicine, occupational health, and environmental health.
The program is designed for physicians and other professionals who intend to practice occupational/environmental medicine or to hold responsible positions in occupational and/or environmental policy and management. The occupational/environmental medicine area fulfills the coursework requirements of the two-year Occupational and Environmental Medicine Residency. This area also is intended for other physicians who wish to satisfy the didactic requirements of the American Board of Preventive Medicine for certification in occupational and environmental medicine.
Quantitative methods This concentration, sponsored jointly by the Departments of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, provides students with the necessary quantitative and analytic skills to approach and solve problems in public health and clinical research and practice, while providing a strong general foundation in public health. The concentration emphasizes study design, data analysis, and the application of quantitative methods within the context of epidemiology, biostatistics, decision sciences, demography, and program evaluation. The competency-based curriculum is designed to provide health professionals with the analytical and statistical knowledge and skills required for successful public health practice and research. It is appropriate for both midcareer health professionals and those in the early stages of their careers. The program prepares graduates to take on leadership roles in clinical and population-based health research in government, health care institutions, and private industry. In addition, it provides an excellent foundation for those interested in pursuing academic careers in the health sciences.

SUBSCRIBE NOW and receive a risk-free issue plus a free downloadable booklet: Lost Skills of the Old West
The Loco Weed Affliction
We were sort-n cattle this one fine day.
When all of a sudden,
I lost the whole darn bunch and I was sure,
I wasn't ready for what my daddy had to say.
He said," get off that horse
and meet me in the rears".
As my feet hit the ground,
my body filled with fear.
And then he lifted up poor old Fooler's tail
and my eye's welled up with tears.
He said, "Cowgirl"
you see an eye ball in this horses ass?
And I said," Well ,No Sir".
Think-n to myself,
why in the heck would he even ask.
He must-a been suffer-n,
from some horrible affliction
that was mess-n with his sight.
Then it dawned on me,
what the affliction was
and I was quite sure that I was right.
He must-a got into the Loco Weed
when turn-n out the rope-n steers the other night!
Now I'd heard old cowboys talk ,about this sort-a thing.
When a horse got into Loco Weed
they'd start do-n crazy things.
Things like pace-n around.
And he sure as hell was a pace-n,
he was kick-n the dirt and stomp-n the ground.
He said," you sure you don't see an eyeball in this horses ass"?
And I said," Yes sir I'm sure".
Think-n to my self,
he must be fail-n real fast.
If I didn't figure something out,
I was quite sure he'd never last.
That's when I heard my daddy say,
ya had better get to gather-n.
With that, he turned and road away.
He never spoke another word to me,
that whole entire day.
But he did seem to be miraculously cured,
from his affliction in some mysterious way.
As for me,
I headed out for the windmill.
To let my horse get himself a drink.
Ride-n along, I began to ponder
I began to think.
Maybe it wasn't at all the affliction,
that was mess-n with my poor old daddy nerve.
Maybe it was me,
cause I kept turn-n my horses rump to the cattle
and lost the hole darn herd!

Police: Sleeping driver injures threeBy Josh OGorman
STAFF WRITER | May 13,2013DANBY Police said a sleeping driver sent a family of three including an 8-month-old boy to the hospital Sunday afternoon.
Shortly after 4 p.m., Vermont State Police and rescue personnel from Wallingford and Manchester responded to a crash on Route 7 near the intersection of Scottsville Road just south of the Wallingford town line.
According to Trooper Michael Tietz, Antonio J. King, 29, of Wallingford, was driving north in a gray Toyota Tundra pickup when he crossed the center line, went off the west side of the road and overturned, with the truck coming to rest upon its roof.
The driver said he fell asleep at the wheel, said Tietz, noting a lack of skid marks on the blacktop that would indicate a driver hitting the brakes. Once they caught the culvert, they were done.
Also in the truck at the time of the crash was Amanda King, 29, of Wallingford, and the Kings 8-month-old son. Antonio King sustained facial lacerations, Tietz said. He was uncertain of what injuries, if any, were sustained by Amanda King or the child.
At the request of the parents, Tietz said, an ambulance took the child to the Kings residence nearby, before they were convinced to bring the child to a hospital. All three were taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center by Manchester Rescue Squad.
Amanda King was listed in good condition Sunday night, according to a hospital spokeswoman. Conditions were not available for Antonio King or the child.
Tietz said he screened Antonio King for drunken driving and found he had not been drinking.
Police interviewed a witness who was also traveling north behind the Kings, who said the driver did not hit the brakes as the truck crossed the line and went off the road, Tietz said.
There was no property damage and no other vehicles were involved in the crash, which restricted travel along Route 7 to one lane for about an hour.

Meet the cubs!
Our newest clouded leopard cub, Tien, was born May 1, 2013 and is the third litter born to Chai Li (chai-lye) and her mate Nah Fun (nah-foon).
Tien has visits with female clouded leopard cub, Sang Dou, in the cub den - though not on a regular schedule.
Clouded leopards live mostly in the forest of Southeast Asia, but massive clear-cutting to make way for the expansion of palm oil plantations has threatened their populations. It is not known exactly how many clouded leopards exist because the cats are so difficult to study. With clouded leopards vulnerable to extinction in the wild, this new pair of cubs is very important to the species as a whole.
Point Defiance Zoo is one of only three zoos in the country that breeds endangered clouded leopard cubs, along with Nashville Zoo and Smithsonian Institution's National Zoo. We participate in the Association of Zoos & Aquariums' clouded leopard Species Survival Plan (SSP®), which oversees the clouded leopard populations in zoos worldwide and makes breeding recommendations based on the genetics of each cat. Fewer than 65 clouded leopards live in 24 accredited North American zoos.
The Zoo has three other clouded leopards. Jao Ying and Chee Wit live in the Cats of the Canopy exhibit and Josie, who produced two cubs at Point Defiance Zoo in 2003, lives behind the scenes at the zoo's Wild Wonders Outdoor Theater.

To the Editor:
Cumberland Times-News
A huge heartfelt thanks to each of you who helped to collect for our sixth annual toy drive of Gently Loved Toys and books for Children at Western Maryland Health System and the surrounding community during the Christmas season.
We were able to package 170 gift bags with 510 toys and approximately 570 books. This was our biggest collection of toys and books to date!
Our efforts continue to grow each year as each group has helped us to clean the toys and some have helped to package the toys themselves.
Each gift is delivered in a recycled gift bag and includes a handmade picture by a child. A great big thank you to BelAir Elementary School's fifth grade class, led by Laurie Ferguson; Cumberland Gospel Assembly's Mom's and Tots Story Hour, led by Ms. Sheila and Ms. Becca; Oliver's Grove United Methodist Church, led by Carl and Tammy Portmess; West Side Elementary School's fifth-grade classes, led by Andy Ferguson, and the Boyer and Taube families.
This community-wide effort of collecting, washing, and packaging reused toys resulted in an overwhelming number of gifts and books that were delivered to children in the hospital as well as through the Department of Social Services in association with the hospital.
Thank you to Western Maryland Health System and Lisa Hout, administrator; and Samanth Jones, RN; for their openness and willingness to store the toys and find the right homes at Christmastime for each of the gift bags.
Gently Loved Toys was designed in 2007 with the mission of providing gently loved (used) toys to children in the community: to give children and families an opportunity to give to other children and to promote the reuse of toys as a way of caring for the environment.
If you, your family, or group is interested in participating in this wonderful and needed community effort in 2013, please contact us at: email@example.com or look for our Facebook page in the summer of 2013!
Once again, thank you to all the dedicated and loyal leaders, teachers, children, and families who helped to make this our biggest collection ever!
Jill DiNola and family
Founder and coordinator,
Gently Loved Toys

one of the all time classics in my case anyway
tell me what u think
one of the all time classics in my case anyway
tell me what u think
I think you have to watch this movie more than once to see how good it is.
great movie
Kind of grows on you after a couple of viewings doesn't it!
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! I have it in my collection.The GORGEUOS GUY who plays the Vampire-Miles "O Keefe WOW!! HE'S A HOTTIE!! It's worth the rental just to see him!! He was in another movie with Kim Delaney,anyone remember it?? A very sexy one!!
This is one of my favs because of the storyline and because I look like Miles O'Keefe in real life....
Plus, I've always thought Deborah Foreman as a cutie and to see her orgasm from whipping, threw me over the edge...yeah, baby, do it....
This is one of my "guilty pleasures" favorites! it's kind of tacky in a lot of ways, and has a very quirky sense of humor. Loved the vampire scenes (kinda sexy, kinda hokey) and the whole Marquis de Sade thing, especially that the prim little gal ended up being so- enthusiastic about him, only to be thwarted by the young heroic type swooping in and "rescuing" her! Doh!
A lot of fun!
Even though this is an old movie, I just saw it and thought it was funny, crazy and sexy. The vampire was cute BUT I really loved the Marquis de Sade guy. Why was I wishing I was in HER place??? Also LOVED watching him sword fight! VERY HOT. Still trying to figure out though why he had an English accent?? Who cares.... still hot.

Police arrested a Dale City man Sunday night after his neighbors reported hearing several gunshots near his house, Prince William County police spokesperson Jonathan Perok said.
Terrel Xavier Downing, 24, has been charged with reckless handling of a firearm. He is being held on a $3000 secured bond.
Police initially responded to a shots fired call for the 14300 block of Ferndale Road in Dale City on Jan. 27 at 10:15 p.m.
"Several callers reported hearing multiple gunshots in the area," Perok said.
When the officers arrived, they found the location of the reported gunshots.
"The investigation revealed that the accused was involved in a verbal altercation with another member of the residence. The altercation took place in front of the residence," Perok said. "During the encounter, the accused fired a handgun into the air."
No one was hurt and no property was damaged.
Downing's court date is March 19.

There are about 11.1 million unauthorized immigrants living in the United States, a figure that has remained relatively constant over the last two years, according to the latest estimates released Thursday by the Pew Hispanic Center.
The numbers come as President Obama prepares to push immigration reform as a key part of his second-term agenda. They also come as analyses highlight the greater role Latinos played in the recent presidential election.

The Independent
The number of young Kentucky adults who are neither in school nor working is skyrocketing, and if the trend continues, the state runs the risk of having another generation of residents in which far too many lack the skills for even the most basic jobs and are destined to spend their lives on the lowest rungs of the economic ladder.
In addition, if this state continues to lack enough residents with the skills to qualify for the best paying jobs, Kentucky will not be able to convince companies offering good jobs to locate in the state.
The nonprofit Annie E. Casey Foundation released a report Monday that said the U.S. youth employment rates for both 16- to 19-year-olds and 20- to 24-year-olds are the lowest they've been in 50 years.
The numbers in Kentucky mirror the national rate, and are in fact a little higher. Between 2000 and 2011, the number of young adults ages 20 to 24 who are not in school and not working grew by 88 percent. For 16- to 19-year-olds, the number rose 3 percent, thanks mostly because of the number in that age group who are still in school.
"We cannot attend to the looming question of disengaged youth with worn-out answers," said Terry Brooks, executive director of Kentucky Youth Advocates. "Instead, we have to invent new structures and new expectations around which business, government, schoolhouses, faith communities and nonprofits work together."
The report blames the problem on several factors, including increasing competition from older workers due to the recession, youths who do not graduate high school ready for college, poverty and low-performing schools.
The foundation warns the youths are heading toward a path of chronic unemployment as adults. Of course they are. If you lack the skills to find a job at 21, it is going to be even more difficult to find employment at 50.
The bottom line is this: There are 110,000 young people in Kentucky between the ages of 16 and 24 who are not enrolled in school and not employed, even part-time.
Many of these young people face numerous obstacles, according to the report, Youth and Work: Restoring Teen and Young Adult Connections to Opportunity. Often described as disconnected youth, they have difficulty finding employment because they face greater competition from older workers for increasingly scarce entry-level jobs, especially in light of the recession, and lack the higher skill set required for the well-paying jobs that are available. They often don't graduate from high school on time or ready for college, further decreasing their employment options. And many contend with hurdles beyond their control, such as growing up in poverty or attending low-performing schools.
"Building a strong future for Kentucky requires preparing today's youth to be productive workers in adulthood," said Brooks. "These young people deserve opportunities to work and to be successful, ultimately contributing to a prosperous future for the Commonwealth."
The report emphasizes the need to provide multiple, flexible pathways to success for disconnected young people and to find ways to re-engage high school dropouts. It also advocates creating opportunities for youth in school or other public systems that allow them to gain early job experience through such avenues as community service, internship and summer and part-time work. In Kentucky, policymakers and advocates can work to streamline public benefits by creating a single application for several public programs, making it easier on young people to get the help they need while searching for work or going back to school.
The report further emphasizes the impact of a continuing problem that we have discussed many times in this space: Too many young people are graduating from Kentucky high schools lacking the knowledge and the skills that are essential for them to not only be successful in college but even to hold a job that does not require a college education. Since they have a high school diploma, they don't need adult education to earn a GED; they need it to learn what they should have learned in high school.
In a world in which jobs are becoming more and more complex, Kentucky cannot afford to have another generation of adults woefully unprepared for success. The best way to lower the high rate of unemployment among youth is to better prepare them for good jobs.

The 13-year-old girl who was missing early yesterday morning was found last night in Rahway. Marhama Saidhatimi of the Avenel section of Woodbridge turned up in the city about a mile from her home, said Sgt. Vincent Fazio of the Woodbridge Police Department.
The girl wasn't abducted; she had run away from home, Fazio said.
Saidhatimi was last seen at 4 am on Monday, October 15. Her family woke up later that morning and discovered she was gone.
The girl rang the doorbell of a home on Martin Street in Rahway, the city's police department told mycentraljersey, and appeared to be lost. That was about 10:35 pm Monday night, Fazio said.
Woodbridge police came to pick up the girl and transported her to Raritan Bay Medical Center in Perth Amboy. Fazio did not know if the girl was admitted, but her family accompanied her to the hospital.
Saidhatimi was described as being 5 ft. 4 in. tall, weighing 105 lbs, and is of Indian descent. When she was last seen, she was wearing green pants and a black hijab (scarf over her head) over her braided hair.
The case is still under investigation, Fazio said.
Agencies that had cooperated in helping find the missing girl include: the NJ State Police, the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office, the Middlesex County Sheriff's Department, and the Union County Canine Unit.

By Phil WilliamsChief Investigative Reporter
Last year, then-Police Chief Ronal Serpas ridiculed a Metro councilman's suggestion that someone ought to audit his crime statistics.
It didn't happen then.
But now, after a NewsChannel 5 investigation, it may finally happen.
Late Friday, Mayor Karl Dean asked Nashville's internal auditor to take a hard look at how Nashville reports crime. The mayor says the public deserves to know the truth about crime.
Before he was picked for a new job in New Orleans, Ronal Serpas was adamant about his crime stats -- stats that showed six straight years of crime reductions in Nashville -- despite other crime numbers that showed other trends.
"What we see here is both of us are looking at the same sources of data and somehow coming up with different numbers," the chief said at the time. "Which one of us is right? I don't think it's that either one of us are wrong."
As NewsChannel 5 Investigates noted Serpas had told the public that burglaries were flat in 2008, that aggravated assaults were down, that rapes were down, that larcenies were down.
Yet, the FBI and TBI both say all of those were up.
"Yes," Serpas said, "but they also report fewer than we did. So why are you immediately jumping to the conclusion that either one of us is necessarily wrong?"
As to Serpas' claims of Nashville having one of the best records in the country for solving crimes, one expert called those highly questionable.
"It seems like they're fudging the stats," said Boston University criminologist Tom Nolan. "It seems like they are manipulating the system."
Now, facing questions about Serpas' six-year legacy, Mayor Dean wants the city's internal auditor to take an independent look at those stats.
"Public safety is a top priority," the mayor said in a statement, "and it's just as important that people feel they are safe. We as a government, and the public, need to know where we stand.
"An internal audit of Metro's crime reporting will be constructive to have and review."
Dean's letter to the Office of Internal Audit outlines a request to review and analyze the methodology used by MNPD to collect and report data on crime, compare that methodology to other police departments, and recommend any changes and the purpose for making changes in the way MNPD produces crime report statistics.
Interim Police Chief Steve Anderson welcomed the audit in the statement from Dean's office. "I am confident with the data as it is reported, but I want everyone else to be confident with it as well. If there's anything we can learn from it and improve, we will."
It's just what Metro Council member Jim Gotto had been requesting.
"There's a lot of questions being asked, and wouldn't it be good to put those questions to rest?" Gotto said recently.
Ironically, one of the first things that Serpas did when he was sworn in as the new police superintendent in New Orleans was to order an audit of how crime stats have been kept in that city.

It has become something of a tradition at Naropa University to begin classes and meetings
with a bow. Although this ritual is by no means compulsory, it seems to have taken
widespread hold at the university over the years.
The Bow
The bow is a traditional greeting in Asian cultures, and is a signal of openness and respect. The bow is also found in many Buddhist practices. At Naropa, we bow towards our teachers and to each other.
The meaning of the bow is an acknowledgment of the respect we have toward one another in all our differences and similarities. Although we may hold different opinions and come from different backgrounds, we honor the person at the center of those experiences. By bowing to one another, we recognize the capacity within each us to bring goodness into the world.
