POLL: Woman Denied '8THEIST' License Plate, Sues New Jersey

And almost all the states had established churches. How doe that jibe with Hooker's argument?
Hookerman April 23, 2014 at 08:25 am
Hugh, you continue to be very amusing! I quote actual historical text, while you interject you own…Read More twisted interpretation, and then accuse me of trying to support my own dogma (which I haven't even mentioned). Fact: The letter from the Danbury Baptists to Jefferson said nothing about taxes, going to jail, or moving west. Fact: The first amendment says nothing about the Church of England or an established church. It says; "establishment of religion"… noting more, nothing less. Fact: Jefferson interpreted this clause as creating a wall a separation between church and state (which courts have mostly supported throughout history) . Fact: The U.S. Constitution (the blueprint for our system of laws) makes no mention of a superior being, nor any specific religious belief, and does not recognize any power greater than "We the People". These are facts, not interpretations as you are posting. As to your last statements; of course states had churches, that why people came to this country, for religious freedom. They were not government sponsored churches. They were not churches that mandated any type of law. They were churches that people attended entirely voluntarily, as they do today. What's the point???

Sylvia we should stay with facts here. The state unemployment numbers are coming from the federal…Read More government. US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. I strongly doubt that Corbett nor Obama can really alter them. You are correct that these do not include people who stopped looking for jobs however these numbers (which I agree are not accurate because they only include unemployed people actively looking for a job and not under employed people) are the numbers that we have gotten for many years to use as a comparison. This is not sloppy reporting they are reporting the numbers released by the Federal government. I really would not say "shame on you" to the patch or reporters for reporting a number that the Federal Department of Labor has been releasing monthly for a very long time. If you have a point to make you should make it without blaming the messenger or criticizing them for reporting the information.

Check your data and compare apples to apples. E-cigs are substantially less harmful than tobacco combustible EVEN the American Lung Association admits this. Why stand by and 400,000 continue to cause harm to themselves by vilifying the e-cig industry.

How about focusing on the why the "City of Brotherly Love" is a crime ridden cesspool that ranks in the top 5 most dangerous cities in the US? We left our food in the hands of government and we now have GMO's, an outrageous amount of people dying from cancer and an even bigger count of thyroid disease patients, due to the government's need to remove iodine from our foods. We left our medications and health in the hands of government, and we now have people dying bc they can't afford 2k a pill for liver or lung cancers, medications with so many side effects that some just choose to live with their illness unmedicated and insurance companies deciding what medications are right for you. Instead he is focusing on people complaining about others blowing out water vapor? Guess he can't fix the real problems of this city, so he's grabbing at anything he can. What's the matter? Are there too many people smoking water and getting healthier, that they no longer have to pay higher insurance premiums? Rich losing kickbacks from the healthier poor? Sickening!

Gov Signs Improvements to Child-Protection Laws
Harriet Laurin April 8, 2014 at 12:05 pm
@Tamarya - first, I'm sorry you had a bad experience with the hospital staff (whichever hospital…Read More that was). Comparing hospital staff to grocery workers is entirely different; hospital staff are mandated reporters, while grocery workers are not. If the hospital staff felt you and/or the baby potentially could be threatened by your husband (even if it was based on a momentarily heated verbal exchange), then they were required to report that. It is one way to help those who are in domestic abuse situations to realize that there is help - not saying that was the situation in your case, but it's one way that domestic abuse situations are sometimes intervened. Second, everyone has a right to voice their opinion - but HOW is often just as important as anything else - always remember that if a gentle "hey, I don't understand or feel comfortable with how you are treating me" doesn't work with the rank-and-file staff - go up the chain to the Patient Representative/Relationship Manager and you're much more likely to get the results you want without a whole lot of drama (months of parents being in hospitals taught me this). Third - not sure why CYS stayed involved for an entire year, unless a caseworker still had concerns about the risk level. Usually, they'll do a 60-day safety plan or short-term Family Service Plan and if there's no issues, they move onto more pressing cases. Fourth - as far as the school goes, I'd take that up the ladder - politely - to administration. If it's a school-supplied tablet, there should be appropriate application and content filters to significantly reduce the risk of situation such as you describe. If there isn't, and the administration doesn't take you seriously, go to the PTA, take it from the closed-door office discussion to the media. And in the meantime, get in the habit (if you aren't already) of checking your daughter's tablet for inappropriate use (check things like browsing history, etc. too). And obviously, if the pedophile has been informed that he was conversing with a 9-year-old, see if he reaches back out to her - because once he's made aware that she isn't 18, then he would be in legal trouble for further contact.

No one should aspire for merely lamenting bad behavior. That is a complete waste of time. Upholding…Read More the rule of law independent of party affiliation is everything to our republic's well being. Lady justice wears her blindfold for a critical reason. She must be objective and consistent otherwise she is made of crumbling plaster. Respect for the rule of law also lapses into decay and democracy has no foundation for the faith of the citizenry. A response of disgust and apathy is a useless exercise. The response must be active. The Attorney General's primary responsibility is to uphold the rule of law. If instead she obstructs justice, terminates investigations with conclusive video evidence, then public participation is mandatory. The truth must be investigated and fully disclosed. A criminal must be treated the same even if they are your party peers, otherwise there is not equality under the law! What could be more fundamental to the health of our republic than that?
Leif Fearn April 14, 2014 at 01:59 pm
Dwayne makes the right point. Disgust and apathy are useless. "I must do something"…Read More solves more problems than "Something must be done." We're living in a half-century of government selling misinformation and media selling fear. I have to decide not to be a buyer. I cannot allow myself to feel that I am helpless, that my only roles, as articulated by Noam Chomsky, are to either agree or disagree and to keep consuming. If we want change, we must understand that it comes from individuals, not groups. And it comes from leaving allegiances to favored factions behind, for it is those allegiances that exacerbate the problem.

Then the Assembly censored one of its members for illegal behavior. Immediately after the censor, a follow-up poll showed 46% of Californians trusting its legislature. Forty to 46 isn't much to crow about, but it does suggest that Californians are not beyond being influenced by good behavior on the part of its legislators, where, in this case, "good" behavior is the willingness to ensure bad behavior. Maybe legislators in Pennsylvania could be influenced to censure bad behavior.

Bruce Patin April 11, 2014 at 07:37 pm
Some prices would rise a bit, but not enough to ruin business. It is a tradeoff. The business…Read More owners would take a hit. Some small business owners would feel it badly. Most large businesses, due to the already inflated salaries of their executives, would absorb it with no problem, but some of the executives would have to take a cut, and that would upset them enough to look around for another position. McDonalds would fit the latter category. They couldn't sell hamburgers at $9.00, so the price would not go up that much, and they would take the money from higher up, which they ought to do, anyway, since they have a reputation of stealing money from their employees at the bottom, and there is a lot of correction due. How much would you pay to continue to clog your arteries and bring on an early death, anyway?
Larry Duncan April 11, 2014 at 08:34 pm
While I agree with you there is no reasonable explanation for paying someone $8.75 Million per year,…Read More elimination of this cost and giving it to the 400,000 McDonald's employees would result in a $0.01/hour raise. Even the distribution the entire $1.39 billion in profits would only permit a $1.74/hour raise. Of course some of car companies tried to operate without any profits in the past and that didn't work out so well. Assets of $35.4 billion and a profit of $1.39 billion provide a return on investment (ROI) of 3.9%. I do not consider this to be outrageous. At Bayer we would not go ahead with a project that had an estimated, before tax, ROI of less 19%. So I must respectfully disagree with you, the problem IS a lack of money to pay a "living wage", What is your definition of a living wage? With only one wage earner at a minimum wage of $7.25/hour and the Earned Income Tax Credit The income of a single adult is 126% of the Federal Poverty Level The income of a single adult with one child is 114% of the Federal Poverty Level. The income of a single adult with two children is 101% of the Federal Poverty Level.

No one is saying the trash causes global warming or is something we must put up with for economic reasons. Trash should be in proper containers, period. One thing that might help is making tougher penalties that are ENFORCED for people dumping trash. I live in a nice neighborhood in Cranberry and have documented, with my camera, my neighbor filling our retention pond with sedge-like grass, dumped right on top of the beautiful wildflowers (irises). I must say, it is like pulling teeth to get anyone to do anything, but when the neighbor decided to throw black plastic trashbags out behind my house, I was finally able to get someone at Cranberry Twp to come out and force a clean up. Well, to be accurate, the neighbor refused to clean up the trash, but he was "billed" for the dumping violation. The days of throwing your trash out into the open really should have disappeared in the 1960's when we had the crying Indian commercials. Only slobs throw their major yard clipping and bagged trash out into the environment.

They did not depend on handouts. In fact, everyone I knew from my grandparents generation would NOT take handouts. How long are we going to try to make everything so easy for people, that the majority will not appreciate, but continue wanting even more. For every story you have about a poor immigrant who had trouble communicating there are thousands who managed dry well with help from friends and family. Your arguments are the same as the arguments the bleeding hearts use for not forcing people to have proper id to vote...it's bizarre to think for one minute that these "disadvantaged people" would not be helped by all of the kind people who really do exist.
Harriet Laurin April 25, 2014 at 12:29 am
@Janis - Well, I guess you have the answer - everyone must get "help from friends and…Read More family". And if not, they'll just have to hope they'll find a kind person who can communicate in their language until that non-English speaking immigrant can figure out how to learn English without any help. Generations before ours have all had these problems? Yeah, more recent generations, but the world is different now. You can't very easily saddle your horse, ride out into the wilderness and make a land stake. There are no free government-authorized free land giveaways. And try landing a job without proper documentation these days, as many immigrants were able to do in the past. (Don't get me wrong, I think everyone ought to have some ID and/or documentation; my point is, that a hundred years ago, ID wasn't necessary the way it is now to find a job). Every generation of immigration has faced challenges of one sort or another. And I know that people appreciate things more when they earn them; but sometimes, people need at least a helping hand, a pointer in the right direction, just to get the basic tools so they can then take over their future for themselves. The legislation, as proposed, wouldn't even allow for the state government to print a bulletin-board flyer in a non-English language telling readers where they could go to learn how to read English. My arguments are not the same; I am not saying the same individuals should be perpetually catered to - just that as individuals arrive, we ought to be able to point them in the right direction (as in, go here to learn English, etc.) so they have a chance of learning to become productive members of our society.

Hack Your Program: Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science
01/06/2011 § 23 Comments
*Disclaimer: These are my personal opinions and are not representative of the student body. I started in Fall 2009 as a full-time student and graduated this past semester. I hope the below, and the previous posts in the series, will provide a means of discussion and collaboration. I did not apply to any other LIS programs. I was living in London and wanted to move back to Boston where I lived during and after my undergraduate program. So my decision to come to Simmons was based on location, its prestige in the profession, and the numerous people I spoke to who all had nothing but fantastic things to say about the program. While I have had some personal ups and downs throughout the past two years, with the program, and with my own path, I have not regretted my decision in the slightest.
I just finished my program at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science (GSLIS) at Simmons College. I attended all of my classes at the Boston Campus but they also have a GSLIS West campus that is located in Western Massachusetts at Mt Holyoke College. Students are able to take classes at both campuses and the core courses are offered at both. I will speak mostly to my experience with the Boston campus, though. At the Boston campus, we are lucky to call the Palace Road Building our home, with a lounge, tech lab, and classrooms dedicated to the GSLIS student population.
Boston, itself, is a fantastic place to be in a college program as it is like one big college town with over 50 institutions of higher education in metropolitan Boston. As a student at Simmons you are also a part of the Colleges of the Fenway consortium and have access to many of the services at the other participating institutions. Simmons also offers graduate housing.
Concentrations and/or specializations:
There are three main tracks that people take, archives, school media specialists, or general. The Archives students and School Media Specialists end up with a concentration in those spaces. There are several degree options through GSLIS. The majority of students work towards the Master of Science in Library and Information Science. Other degrees include dual degrees in Archives/History, LIS/Children's Literature, and a BS/MS program. There are also two PhD programs including PhD/LIS and PhD/MLIP. Finally, there are two certificate programs in Archives Management and the School Library Teacher certificate. GSLIS also offers several continuing education programs that are available to alumni and others in the profession. Classes are mostly taught on-campus, although, the program is extending the online program in addition to being a part of the WISE consortium and offering those courses to students.
Financial aid:
A single credit at GSLIS currently runs about $1,100 with courses being 3 credits each. Beyond the regular merit and need-based financial assistance, the program also has several graduate fellowship positions, which are available on a rolling basis. Each fellowship operates slightly differently and I am not super familiar with them. I also suggest looking at professional associations to look for scholarships. I was lucky enough to receive two of these throughout my program, and while it didn't fully fund my costs, it definitely helped a bit!
At GSLIS, we have 15 credit hour core courses that we must take. The degree is a 36 credit-hour program, which takes about 2 years to complete if you go to school full-time.
- Evaluation of Information Services
- Principles of Management
- Reference/Information Services
- Information Organization
- Technology for Information Professionals
You can take these courses whenever you would like throughout your program but many of the electives require that you've already taken certain ones. Like other programs, the electives can be tailored to your own interests. If you are in the Archives or School Media Specialist track, you will have more core classes and fewer electives to choose from. The program has also initiated a Technology Orientation Requirement or TOR that each new student must complete before the end of the first semester. It's a self-paced online tutorial designed to orient the student with technology at Simmons and with tools at the library. There was recently an article in The Boston Globe, about the technology focus at Simmons.
I took the more "general" track during my time at Simmons so I tried to focus on electives that would give me a broad background to the library field, especially as I was slightly unclear on what kind of library work I wanted to do when I was done with the program. While I took the core technology class along with a web development course, I still wish I had been able to take more technology classes, especially something like digital libraries, but at the end of the day, it's just not possible to take every class and I definitely went in a few directions before really deciding what kind of work would interest me most. I appreciated the flexibility of the Simmons program for allowing me to do that type of exploration and discovery. I took 4 out of 5 of my core courses in my first two semesters, though, so that I was able to really take what I wanted during the rest of my program. That made my first year pretty tough in terms of course work but I was thankful for the flexibility it gave me in deciding the rest of my course selection.
For the MLIS degree, there is no final project or thesis requirement. I would say, as Annie said, for her program, that with no final projects, "students feel either relieved or directionless." However, as part of the course, Evaluation of Information Services, many professors are encouraging students to continue the research study they create in that class as a further independent study for credit which can then be seen as a type of final project and a way to bring together much of what has been learned throughout the program. I think having some sort of portfolio requirement could be a nice addition to the program that would then allow students for self-reflection and something more tangible to come away with beyond the degree.
Internship availability:
If I had had to talk about internship availability at GSLIS when I started my program I would have been much more critical. When I began the degree in the Fall of 2009, the only integral internships in the program were if you were in the archives or school media specialist track. The rest of us were kind of on our own to find opportunities; assisted by a few web-based services that the program provides. Which is fine, I mean, we are graduate students, we should be able to source opportunities and have a bit of a "go-getter" mentality but I had wished that the general track students had some of the internships opportunities that archives and school media specialists did. There internships are integrated into a few required courses. However, starting in Fall 2010, GSLIS implemented a kind of practice run with internships for credit for the rest of the student body. I can't speak directly to the program as I did not take part but I know it has continued through 2011 and I have heard positive anecdotes regarding it. It makes me feel like the program saw the gap and really has tried to do something about which I really appreciate.
Student Involvement:
There are several active students groups within GSLIS, including student chapters of American Library Association, American Society for Information Science and Technology, Massachusetts School Library Association, Progressive Librarians Guild, Simmons International Relations, Society of American Archivists, Special Libraries Association, and Art Librarian Group. The umbrella group for all student groups is the Library and Information Science Student Association.
The majority of them have regular events, brown bag lunches, and ways to connect to the parent professional organization. Every semester there are brown-bag lunches with professors, guest speakers and special events, connecting students to alumni and faculty. GSLIS also provides professional development reimbursement so students often taken advantage of going to conferences of these organizations at student rates and still are able to get the majority of the expenses reimbursed.
- Strong faculty who are considered some of the top in the field and who are the authors behind many of the books that are used in LIS programs across the country. The majority of them have a very strong presence in the field and profession. I also found that most of the faculty was more than happy to help me during my time in the program and pretty much everyone had a very "open door" type of policy. I still get emails from some professors because they have seen a posting that I would be perfect for or an opportunity that they think would suit my interests. I really value that.
- In the New England area, and beyond, alumni are still very involved at Simmons and in the profession and provide current students with a wealth of networking opportunities and ways of getting involved in the profession, both as a student and as alumni. There have been a few ALA presidents and several Movers and Shakers who are alum of GSLIS. And the current National Archivist is a GSLIS grad!
- The name of Simmons really does seem to go a far way. I think the depth of this strength depends on what you are looking for out of a program. But when I was at ALA Annual last year, every time someone saw "Simmons" on my name tag I got a variation of "ohhh what a great program" no matter where in the country the person was located.
- You have up to 6 years to finish the program and you can really mix and match how you want to spend your time at Simmons. I took a full load my first three semesters but then was able to pair it back after I started working full-time again. I found that most faculty were pretty understanding of the fact that most students had more going on in their life than graduate school.
- The Library and dedicated Technology Lab are incredible resources, along with the people who work in both. The program is also home to a Usability Lab. I found myself, in both spots, on numerous occasions, asking questions and seeking help from people who were beyond helpful and resourceful. The library also serves as a training ground for many prospective academic librarians!
- The Archives program is ranked as one of the top in the country. Again, I can't really speak to this program but it definitely has received many accolades.
Areas for Improvement:
- More focus on the general track students. While the archives and school media specialists programs seem to have a great deal of focus and direction, I often felt a little forgotten about as a general track student. I think, though, that the administration is aware of this and is trying to correct the issue. Beyond the internship program, I know that several faculty are working on creating guides for general track students in terms of what types of classes they should think about taking depending on the library path they want to take.
- I know they continue to add more technology courses but I would still like to see more geared towards the information professional.
- The core classes continue to evolve and develop and I understand that each professor is going to have a different teaching method; however I do wish there had been a bit more uniformity amongst the core classes so that everyone, no matter the teacher, was essentially being taught the same skills. I wasn't sure this was necessarily the case at times.
- I continue to struggle with the balance between adjunct and full-time professors teaching courses. I don't think this is just an issue at Simmons. I believe that both can be invaluable teachers. However, at times, I was concerned that some of the full-time professors did not have a great deal of recent experience in a library or information environment.
Looking forward:
As an alumnus, I look forward to seeing some of the changes that GSLIS implements over the next few years. I know they are hoping to integrate more online course options into the program to allow even greater flexibility to the degree. The program also just recently went through and passed the accreditation process so I'm anxious to see if there are any other changes that come from that.
Overall, I think this program still leans towards theory and some of the more specialized tracks. However, I think that it provides students with the flexibility and resources to really make the most of the experience; whether through course work, internships, student group involvement, or student-professor collaboration. I hope that its commitment to technology continues to grow and strengthen because I think that is vital to the growth of an LIS program these days. I also hope it continues to devote itself to its involvement in the profession and to making sure that students leave the program prepared to enter the profession.
If anyone has any questions I'm happy to answer them. I would also encourage other students from GSLIS, especially those that did the specialized tracks, to add any comments, feedback, etc. I know I left things out and that each student will have a different experience of the program.
§ 23 Responses to Hack Your Program: Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science
Great post, Nicole. I agree pretty much across the board. I can attest to the strength of the archives track, being a concentrator, and I think a large part of that was due to the wonderful adjunct faculty. Because some adjuncts teach only one class, I know not everyone found their classes valuable. In most cases, I was lucky to have instructors who were current in practice and passionate about their work.
I also wanted to add that there is a tentative new track in , with an intro class, a class in digital stewardship, and a practicum. It's in its early stages, but I think it's promising. There aren't many crossover educational opportunities for people interested in both librarianship and museum work, so I hope it takes off. The intro class is being co-taught by a GSLIS professor and an undergrad art history professor this autumn.
Finally, I just wanted to mention that there are study abroad possibilities as well. They are all hosted by other schools, but I know Simmons students who have done several different trips the last two years, as well as taking part in one myself. As a caution, Simmons' financial aid policies don't make it easy, but it's worth it if you're willing to work through the administrative red tape and you want to see different facets of global librarianship. The internship opportunities in Boston, either through the program or self-directed, are fantastic, but the additional perspective is so valuable.
Thanks for putting the word out on GSLIS! There have been ups and downs, but the decision to go to Simmons was easy and paid off big-time!
I'm a 2010 Simmons GSLIS grad. I think your assessment of the program is accurate, Nicole.
I have a few points to add based on my experience. I'll going to be candid–while I got a lot out of Simmons and have my degree to thank for my current job, my experience at GSLIS was mixed, and I'd do a lot of things differently if I could back in time. I'd also challenge Simmons to do a lot of things differently.
Advising is a real mixed bag at Simmons and is a definite area in need of improvement. It depends on your advisor, but advising can be wonderful, or it can be nonexistent. I sought out advice from professors I knew and respected. My official advisor met with me once and wasn't very helpful, especially once I decided not to do the archives concentration.
Simmons could pay more attention to part-time students and those taking evening classes. Many activities and student group meetings take place during the day, and it's difficult to get administrivia taken care of if you're only on campus in the evening.
There's a lot of red tape at Simmons, and the different offices don't seem to talk to each other. Expect to do a lot of footwork if you encounter a problem of any kind. I know this is no different from many other schools, but I have worked in several other colleges and universities and was surprised at the depth of dysfunction at Simmons.
Simmons could stand to tighten up its admission standards a bit. I think this is an area where they suffer from not having credible local competition. They're the only game in town, and they know it. Students fresh out of undergrad would fare better with a few years of work under their belts. In many classes, it's hard for the professor to tailor the work and the teaching to different academic levels and interests. It's easy to see some self-sorting going on as certain people gravitate to the harder or more academically challenging courses and others skate through doing the bare minimum. The best professors are the ones who expect a lot from their students and don't put up with the "I'm just here for the piece of paper" mentality that's a bit too common. I know I also struggled with the change from a liberal arts undergraduate experience to a professional graduate school. I think that's a common problem in the program, based on my conversations with friends.
I would welcome the addition of academic tracks within the program to make it more focused. I did some floundering at the beginning, and I regret that now. I wish I'd had better advising and a better sense of what I needed to take to end up where I wanted to be. I think that defined tracks would have helped me to see the forest through the trees–something that's difficult when you're just starting out in a self-directed program. I did appreciate the flexibility, though, and I hope they can preserve some elements of that while giving students a bit more direction.
If you're considering Simmons against a program at a public institution, consider the cost. As we say in New England, it's wicked expensive, and the cost of living in Boston is high.
Lastly, I think it's incumbent upon all graduate schools in the LIS field to be more honest in their recruiting. This is not the high-growth hipster dream profession you've read about in the New York Times Styles section. Jobs are scarce, pay is low, many professional librarian jobs are being turned into paraprofessional positions, and people in libraries aren't retiring at the rate that was predicted 10 years ago. "Loving books" isn't enough. Being a librarian isn't about books, necessarily. You have to want to serve the public, and you have to be able to work in an atmosphere of constant change. It can be a tremendously rewarding career for the right person, but don't jump in on a whim.
Just adding my two cents as a very recent graduate of the archives program.
Overall, I had a good experience at Simmons. Having two internships built into the archives curriculum has been immensely helpful (one of mine turned into a job!). The majority of the professors are well-admired in the field and have been great at imparting their knowledge to students. Also, Boston is the place to be for an archivist, with history everywhere you turn.
I hate to focus on the negatives but that's what people really need to know. The archives world, like the library one, is in a constant state of flux. I know it is difficult to continually update and create new classes, but I do wish there were a faster turn around, especially in the realm of all things digital we are going to have to deal with. There is a focus on theory for a lot of subjects, with not much practice outside of internships.
There was certainly more good than bad but not all peachy keen!
Both as an alum and as a staff member, I very much appreciate the detailed, thought-out comments about Simmons GSLIS. It's always great to hear the positives, of course, but hearing the negatives is an integral part of a great-but-still-always-improving program. Input from students and graduates has a huge impact on the experience for everyone — as noted above regarding the addition of a general internship for those not in archives or school libraries (and yes, this is a permanent addition).
Also, the development of "tracks" (i.e., not required sets of courses but instead a suggested series of classes for people interested in a certain topic) is as a direct result of students' desire for more specific advice. (And in case you haven't seen it, last year we piloted an advising website that started to get at some of these issues. See the "Areas of Exploration" section on http://gslis.simmons.edu/advising/. A summer project is to move that kind of information onto the overall GSLIS website.)
And with the knowledge that Simmons (and, yes, GSLIS) can sometimes be a difficult place to navigate, we created a Student Services Center that we hope can assist students in working through whatever issues they might come across. Although it's impossible to make everyone's experience perfect, we do our best to work with students so that they can have a positive experience in the program.
That said, I'd like to again acknowledge that there are things we can do better. We welcome the sharing of information like this and look forward to hearing more about areas where we might be able to better assist students.
As someone who took the General Internship this summer, I thought I'd add my $0.02.
Like other generalists, I've found myself a bit overwhelmed by the plethora of electives available, and the different paths you can take while at Simmons. (I want to take them all!) One of the things that drew me to Boston from the Midwest was the library culture here, and what I imagined to be an abundance of opportunities available in the many libraries in the city. I found a part-time job pretty quickly when I moved, in a small academic library. However, I discovered that I'm lucky in that respect. I've talked to many students who have never worked in a library and have had a tough time finding work experience on their own in Boston. Yet, practical experience is something all GSLIS students need most.
While I enjoy my PT job, I really love public libraries, and was desperate to get some experience in one. Those jobs are even more rare. I don't think I've seen BPL post a paraprofessional position since I moved, and when I wandered into the main branch last August and asked about applications and where I should look for postings, the woman at the info desk was openly hostile and claimed she couldn't answer my question and that they weren't hiring anyway. So, when I heard about this general internship business, I was all over it. It's sort of advertised as something you should take toward the end of your studies at Simmons, but I enrolled with the bare minimum of credits required to participate in the Internship (18, 15 which need to be the core classes). My thought was that if public librarianship was not my cup of tea, I'd have two semesters left to shift my focus. You don't have to leave this for your last semester!! I think I was the only person in the class who planned it that way, though.
Anyway, I'm getting rambly, so I'll get to the point here. I thought the Internship was awesome. GSLIS goes out and recruits host sites to participate. Then they assemble a list of internships to choose from, and you submit your top three choices, and hope to get assigned to one of them. They take into consideration your transportation needs, which was a concern for me with no car. I'll be really honest here and say that there were only a few sites that met my interests, and I would have dropped the class if I didn't get a good match. After all it's not required, it is expensive, and there are loads of electives I could take instead. I got assigned to my first choice however, and was thrilled. The class is designed so that you have 3 in-class meetings (2 for summer session), a goal-setting assignment, and online discussion about related topics. Those elements tied in nicely with the 120 hours I spent at my site over the summer. (I believe it's 150 hours for a full semester.) I feel there's a advantage in having a GSLIS sponsored internship rather than finding one on your own, because of the connection to the class. It was equally valuable to see what my classmates were doing at their sites, and what their unique challenges and goals were.
It was a positive experience, and I'm sure the variety of internship sites will increase as the project generates interest and enrollment. It will help for students who've taken it to encourage their host sites to continue the partnership with Simmons. I know you can find internship locations on your own, and request credit for them. I'm not sure how that works though, and whether or not you can be paid and still get the three credits towards your MLIS. I would highly recommend this as an option though, and Mary Wilkins Jordan is the faculty/classroom contact and is very enthusiastic and invested in the program. Don't hesitate to look her up if you're considering this class. If you have limited practical experience, I feel like this should be a requirement.

Hi all,
I don't know very much about the Library Science field, and I was wondering if anyone out there can help me. I am considering applying to Simmons and am particularly interested in the dual degree of MS in Library Science & MA in children's literature–but I'm not sure if the dual program will help my career in any way. Does anyone know what people do who get this dual degree? Would a dual degree in history/library science, or even just a focus on archiving, be a better bet for my future? Thanks for your help!
Hi Arielle,
If you're interested in the dual Children's Lit program, I think the College of Arts and Sciences Admission Office is a great place to start. You can email them at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions.
If you have questions about the Dual Archives/Hist or library science degrees, just contact the GSLIS Admission Office at email@example.com.
Both of these offices have approachable staff members and they're willing to help students figure out what path is best for their interests.
The GSLIS Admission blog has some posts from students in both dual degree programs: http://simmons.edu/gslis/admission/experience/dual-degree-programs/.
These posts talk about Children's Lit and Archives/History – there are even some thoughts from students who decided to pursue only an archives concentration instead of the dual degree.
I hope this helps – good luck with everything!
I've found this page through a google search, and hopefully I'm not so late that no one is active here anymore. I'm applying to Simmons this week for their MLIS. I work full time and would like to complete the degree as quickly and efficiently as possible. A. I don't have the time for a degree, and B. I don't have the money. I'm already working as a cataloger in a library, but I need the degree if I ever want a higher position. I am not willing to go 50k in debt for a job which will not pay that off, so I'm wondering if anyone might be willing to share how they are paying or have paid for a college like SImmons? It's the only option that's within an hour of me, though I haven't much looked into the online programs yet. I was hoping for at least some face-to-face, but the cost of Simmons is proving to me that online may be my only option.
I created an email address if anyone would be willing to talk to me about this particular heartache: email@example.com.
Hello my name is Jordan, and I'm a senior in high school that will be attending Georgia State University in the fall. I want to be an archivist, and I would love to get my graduate degree from Simmons. I was wondering if anyone could give me a range for GPA and GRE scores that I should get in order to be accepted into the graduate. Also anything such as internship at an archives (which I already have started), joining clubs, etc. Thank you.
Hi Jordan,
In college, I would just focus on participating in things that are of interest to you – if that happens to be an internship at an archive or a job in the library, go for it. However, those items aren't absolutely necessary for an application. People apply to Simmons with all kinds of backgrounds because a library science degree can translate to all kinds of fields – music, medicine, law, history, English, psychology, etc. Also, if your GPA stays above a 3.0, you won't have to take the GRE for Simmons. I hope that helps – good luck!

Certainly worth a try but found not to my taste and to explain why for others to understand I like the more tarty types like the trinidad by pralus, Maralumi by michel cluizel. There's so many to mention but you get my drift. The bars profiles help me a lot. Quite surprised this uses Trinitario as I have gotten into the train of thought I would like all chocolate bars made with trinitario but I realise the actual origin plays a huge part. Still amazing chocolate flavours.
Posted Fri 10 Jun 2011 5.41pm by Penelope
And my taste for chocolate is the opposite completely which I suppose is why there are so many chocolate bars from different cocoa plants and origins. I do agree that it is a surprise to read this bar is made from trinitario cocoa however as I too understood that to provide a fruitier flavour profile (as these guys put it) which again only goes to show its how you treat and roast the beans too...I loved this chocolate bar and I would recommend to all those bitter dark chocolate lovers who like a really robust flavour that gives a bit of a chocolate kick.

Total volume of purchases made with mobile devices will top $1 trillion worldwide by 2017, new report released by IDC Financial Insights, a research and consulting company, found. The research in "Technology Selection: Worldwide Mobile Payments 2012-2017 Forecast" indicated that most of this purchase volume would come from mobile commerce, which includes digital media consumed on mobile devices as well as e-commerce conducted on mobile web browsers. The reported concluded that such e-commerce spending on mobile devices will be the number one driver of mobile purchases.
Despite recent setbacks for the adoption of NFC technology here in the US, IDC predicted that NFC payments will grow rapidly in the next five years with handset and point-of-sale upgrades. Point-of-sale payments will be the second most common type of mobile purchases, the report said, with P2P payments coming in third.
[See Related: NFC Retail Payments Market to Reach $180 Billion by 2017 ]
Regardless of whether NFC payments or m-commerce is the most common form of mobile purchases, IDC suggested that banks are still in a strong position to take advantage of these trends because they will probably continue to be driven by traditional card products. Banks should look to incorporate their card products into NFC payment systems in the near future to take advantage of that, the report said. Banks that do so will be able to leverage the data that they already possess concerning their customers' shopping habits. IDC's research found that customers will favor mobile payments products with the best rewards and loyalty programs, so banks should look to add supplemental rewards programs combined with targeted marketing to attract customers who use mobile payments.

UFC flyweight contender Joseph Benavidez talks about his recent knockout loss to Demetrious Johnson, how much time he took off after the fight, how he rebounded, the morale at Team Alpha Male, and more.
The events of UFC 171 made it clear it's going to be a wild ride in 2014 at 170 pounds.
The new welterweight era has started in earnest, as Johny Hendricks vs. Robbie Lawler tops a two-month span in which eight of the top 10 compete.
The UFC Fight Night: Macau open workouts featured headliners Dong Hyun Kim and John Hathaway, TUF: China finalists Wang Sai and Zhang Lipeng, along with fighters such as Jumabieke Tuerxun, Mark Eddiva, Mike Swick, and Cung Le.
Daniel Cormier has an impressive heavyweight resume. But where do you rank him at light heavyweight after defeating unheralded Patrick Cummins?
If a fight with UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis gets made, this could be our last look at dominant champion Jose Aldo atop the featherweight division.
With champion Anthony Pettis injured and Benson Henderson defeating Josh Thomson, there's no clear path forward for the division's upper echelon.
With heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez on the shelf, all eyes turn toward a potential No. 1 contender's fight between Travis Browne and Fabricio Werdum.
Ronda Rousey will attempt the quickest turnaround for back-to-back title defenses by a defending UFC champion since Matt Hughes in 2006.
Georges St-Pierre is out and Anderson Silva is injured. What does this mean for the pound-for-pound scene?
With Anderson Silva's camp giving no indication that retirement is on his agenda following his leg injury, where do you rank him following two losses to Chris Weidman?
The fallout from UFC 167 touches much more than just Georges St-Pierre's future.
Just one month after the light heavyweight division looked like MMA's most stale weight class, 205 pounds has a whole new look.
Jon Jones said he wasn't happy with simply inheriting the top pound-for-pound spot because Anderson Silva lost. So he went out and took it.
Anthony Pettis' UFC lightweight title win over Benson Henderson was just one event which caused a 155-pound shakeup.
Underneath the top two spots lies an MMA Math minefield.
Travis Browne enters our rankings after he rallies to defeat Alistair Overeem at UFC Fight Night 26 this past weekend.
UFC 162 hinted at what the rest of the summer will likely show: The featherweight division is one of MMA's hottest.
In case there were any doubts that Ronda Rousey and Cris Cyborg are the top two women's fighters, Cyborg's beatdown of Marloes Coenen settled all doubts.
A decisive knockout in the Octagon led to an obvious change atop the middleweight rankings.
The big question in the wake of UFC 162: Where do Chris Weidman and Anderson Silva rank?
Like the NBA's Celtics and Lakers in the 1980s, the UFC heavyweight division has Cain Velasquez, Junior dos Santos, and then everyone else.
The addition of Strikeforce fighters been felt more at lightweight than any other men's division.
The newest rankings reflect the belief that Lyoto Machida should fight Alexander Gustafsson while Jon Jones heals.
Ronda Rousey and the UFC's bantamweight division are well-represented in the latest rankings.
Interim UFC bantamweight champion Renan Barao has surpassed champion Dominick Cruz in the rankings.

On Food and Cooking
On Food and Cooking
Now, for its twentieth anniversary, Harold McGee has prepared a new, fully revised and updated edition of On Food and Cooking. He has rewritten the text almost completely, expanded it by two-thirds, and commissioned more than 100 new illustrations. As compulsively readable and engaging as ever, the new On Food and Cooking provides countless eye-opening insights into food, its preparation, and its enjoyment.
On Food and Cooking pioneered the translation of technical food science into cook-friendly kitchen science and helped give birth to the inventive culinary movement known as "molecular gastronomy." Though other books have now been written about kitchen science, On Food and Cooking remains unmatched in the accuracy, clarity, and thoroughness of its explanations, and the intriguing way in which it blends science with the historical evolution of foods and cooking techniques.
Among the major themes addressed throughout this new edition are:
- Traditional and modern methods of food production and their influences on food quality
- The great diversity of methods by which people in different places and times have prepared the same ingredients
- Tips for selecting the best ingredients and preparing them successfully
- The particular substances that give foods their flavors and that give us pleasure
- Our evolving knowledge of the health benefits and risks of foods
On Food and Cooking is an invaluable and monumental compendium of basic information about ingredients, cooking methods, and the pleasures of eating. It will delight and fascinate anyone who has ever cooked, savored, or wondered about food.

Read an Excerpt
This is the revised and expanded second edition of a book that I first published in 1984, twenty long years ago. In 1984, canola oil and the computer mouse and compact discs were all novelties. So was the idea of inviting cooks to explore the biological and chemical insides of foods. It was a time when a book like this really needed an introduction!
Twenty years ago the worlds of science and cooking were neatly compartmentalized. There were the basic sciences, physics and chemistry and biology, delving deep into the nature of matter and life. There was food science, an applied science... see more

If you need men's smart shoes for school or work, formal shoes for a wedding, or you just like the smart look, then you've come to the right place.

Loafers look best with slim suit trousers since they are traditionally narrower in style. Monk shoes and smart leather loafers are great options to wear with a suit and couldn't be more on trend for SS14.
