Typically between 100-200 students attend from the six colleges.
Several Simmons alums will be returning to campus as representatives of their employers, including Alice Stein '00 and Tarra Marino '12 of KHJ Brand Activation (Alice is also the current President of the Greater Boston chapter of the AMA), Elin Boman '13 of Mullen, and others.

The ALA-SC and the Library Liaison group are presenting this panel discussion/Q&A. The work of librarians has moved away from being little old ladies with buns in our hair who shusshh! people all day long. Now librarians are working in all sorts of different work environments, doing a wide variety of projects, and building and sharing a wide variety of skills. And we still provide books to people, do story time, provide training, help kids of all ages with school work and the million other things librarians have always done. We are reaching for the future, with all the excitement and unknowns that involves, while keeping one foot on the traditional services people know, love, and expect from librarians.
So, you think you want to be a librarian? It's fun! It's challenging! It's exciting! It's sometimes frustrating! There is ALWAYS something new coming!!
Come hear our panel discuss their experiences as librarians, ask questions, and share your own ideas. Refreshments will be provided by our sponsor ALA-SC; come for the food, stay for the discussion!
This is the first in a series of lectures we will hold this semester, bringing in librarians from all kinds of libraries to talk about their work experiences and how they landed those great jobs.

Drawing on theories developed in Science and Technology (STS), ethnographic methods, and qualitative methods, this presentation provides an overview of a systematic attempt to address these questions by analyzing the data-oriented work practices of collaborating groups in archaeological projects. The results offer an original approach to the analysis and support of collaborative and data-intensive practices using Actor-Network Theory. This research also provides insights into the design requirements of information organization technologies for collaborative practices. Any questions?

Searching For Sugarman
Last week Searching For Sugarman was released on DVD and Blu-Ray, and you need to see it. The film is a documentary that tells the incredible true story of Rodriguez, a Detroit folk singer who released 2 albums in the early 70's. While the albums were ignored here in America, they somehow found their way to South Africa where Rodriguez became a rock star, outselling Elvis and The Beatles.
Who is Rodriguez? No one in South Africa knows. The only fact they are certain about is that he is dead. The two stories about his death both involve killing himself onstage, one by gun and the other by setting himself on fire. The story follows a South African journalist and a record store owner as they try to find unravel the mystery behind his life and death.
I do not want to give away the whole film, but it is definitely worth watching.
For the trailer and more information about the film click here.

2013 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend Trip Report
If you have ever considered running a Full or Half Marathon I really cannot think of a better place to do it than at a Disney Park. I have done the half on both coasts and I really could not tell you which one I enjoy more. Well, I do not enjoy the running, but why run around some boring city when you could run around Disney World, right?
I ran the half with my wife and friend Dan. If you know way too much about this blog, it might interest you to know that this is the same Dan I used to run across I-4 with at 2 in the morning to get back to Vista Way.
I ran the half with my wife and friend Dan. If you know way too much about this blog, it might interest you to know that this is the same Dan I used to run across I-4 with at 2 in the morning to get back to Vista Way.
Here we are, happy that it's all over.
Strike that, it was over for Dan and I, Becky ran the full the next day.
The rest of the trip I hobbled around the parks like the Frankenstein monster, here's my take on the new stuff.
Magic Kingdom
New Fantasyland is a great addition to the park. I'm surprised they let all that land sit there for so long. Remember when they used the lagoon queue for character greetings for years? The Voyage of the Little Mermaid's show building makes the California Adventure building look even more ridiculous. The Mine Train ride looks like it's going to be awesome, I can't wait for that.
Storybook Circus was a vast improvement on the old Toontown Fair. Two Dumbo's sounded like a bad idea to me at first but the layout of them is nice and I like how they just give you a pager and let your kids go buck wild in the play area instead of waiting in line.
The new Fantasyland Train Station is amazing, it even pays homage to the Carolwood Pacific!
I didn't know you could eat lunch at Be Our Guest without a reservation, so I had not even planned on eating there. One day for lunch we just got in line and within 20 minutes were sitting down waiting for our food. The combination of table service and quick service was nice. I thought calling the same french fries they serve at every other Disney restaurant "Pommes Frites" was hilarious. The three dining rooms are all really well done too, (except in the portrait room the tile floor was already coming undone). Another thing that made me laugh was how Disney ignores the physical changes a character goes through in a film. It makes sense, no one wants to see a real boy Pinocchio, adult Bambi, or the Beast as a human. In Be Our Guest though, its funny to see a room full of photos as the Beast as a beast looking happy, then to go to the West Wing where he has slashed up pictures of his human self. It's almost as if he prefers being a beast.
Pirates: I thought I was going to hate the mermaids, but they go by pretty unnoticed. In fact one time I rode it and one didn't even swim past. I just hate how they keep adding film elements to the attraction. The skull rock looked out of place to me, but my wife didn't even notice it.
I did not ride new Test Track. I appreciate how they finally updated that thing, but I still don't have time for it. That cuts into time I could spend riding "Living with the Land."
Hollywood Studios
We spent a few hours at DHS one day. I do enjoy the park but feel like one visit per trip is enough for me.
Animal Kingdom
Did you know it's been 3 years since I have stepped foot inside Animal Kingdom? I go to Walt Disney World twice a year, skipping Animal Kingdom is the best decision I have ever made.
Touring plans had the crowds at a 7 out of 10 for most of my trip. I think that estimate was a little high. The crowds felt really light to me. In fact, on Sunday the MAgic Kingdom was dead well into the afternoon. I rode stuff I usually ignore (Astro Orbiter) because there was no line.
The crowds did pick up on Monday with the start of the dreaded Brazilian tour groups. They were all over the Magic Kingdom, but pretty non existent when we finished off our trip at EPCOT.

Heavyweights Blu Ray Review
In 1995 Disney released Heavyweights. A film about fat kids written by Steven Brill and Judd Apatow and directed by Brill. It's one of the best movies of the 90's, and a miracle that Disney actually released it. The film stars Aaron Schwartz as Gerry, a fat kid pressured by his parents to attend a fat camp for the summer. On the plane fellow fat kid, Roy (played by Kenan Thompson) befriends Gerry assuming that as a fat kid he is also on his way to Camp Hope. Roy shows Gerry the ropes and introduces him to Josh (played by Shaun Weiss). They tell Gerry about how great Camp Hope is and how much he is going to love the owners, The Bushkin's.
Gerry and the kids soon find out that the Bushkin's have lost all of their money and had to sell the camp to motivational speaker Tony Perkis (played by Ben Stiller). From here the movie takes a dark turn where the fitness crazed Perkis puts the kids into a hellish weight loss boot camp in hopes of selling an infomercial.
The great thing about Heavyweights is that it is not your typical Disney film. It has mild cursing, and the phrase "skinny wiener" is used a couple times. I feel like it gets away with jokes and a concept that Disney would never release today. Which is why this Blu Ray is amazing. This is not just a quickly packaged film that was thrown onto the shelves, it's packed with bonus features.
Here's what you get:
More Than 30 Deleted & Extended ScenesAudio Commentary with Judd Apatow, Steven Brill, Allen Covert, Aaron Schwartz, Shaun Weiss, Tom Hodges & Special Guest Paul FeigThe Making of HeavyweightsSuper 8 – Footage Shot by the Cast and CrewVideo Chat: Judd and KenanWhere are they Now? - See the Kids All Grown UpJudd's Art Project – His Bizarre Photos from the Set
Theatrical Trailer
Do yourself a favor and add this to your Blu Ray collection, you can place it right after The Might Ducks, since the three lead kids are all Ducks.

Orange Prize Longlist 2012
Four Scottish books have been longlisted for the 2012 Orange Prize for Fiction, which is exclusively for women writers. The five judges have included Jane Harris' Gillespie and I, Ali Smith's There but for the and Karin Altenberg's Island of Wings, which is set on a remote Scottish Island, and A L Kennedy's The Blue Book.
The shortlist for the prize will be announced on 17th April, and the overall winner on 30th May.
- The Blue Book
- Hardback - Jonathan Cape
Elizabeth Barber is crossing the Atlantic by liner with her perfectly adequate boyfriend, Derek, who might be planning to propose.

- Gillespie And I
- Paperback - Faber
In 1888, young, art-loving Harriet Baxter arrives in Glasgow at the time of the International Exhibition. Befriending the Gillespie family, Harriet soon becomes a fixture in all of their lives. But when tragedy strikes the promise and certainties of this world all too rapidly disorientate into mystery and deception.
- Island Of Wings
- Paperback - Quercus
Exquisitely written and profoundly moving, 'Island of Wings' is more than just an account of a marriage in peril - it is also a richly imagined novel about two people struggling to keep their love, and their family, alive in a place of terrible hardship and tumultuous beauty.
- There but for the
- Hardback - Hamish Hamilton
Imagine you have a dinner party and a friend of a friend brings a stranger to your house as his guest. He seems pleasant enough. Imagine that this stranger goes upstairs halfway through the dinner party and locks himself in one of your bedrooms and won't come out. Imagine you can't move him for days, weeks, months. If ever.

Coach Domenech has decided not to replace the injured Lassana Diarra in finalising his squad [EPA]
Les Bleus qualification for South Africa 2010 was steeped in controversy after striker Thierry Henry's handball against the Republic of Ireland.
But despite the unpopularity at home of outgoing coach Raymond Domenech and many of their players, the French have been a force to reckon with since they won the World Cup in 1998.
Having lost out to Italy in the 2006 final after Zinedine Zidane's headbutt on Marco Materazzi, France rarely fail to provide excitement whether in victory or defeat.

Regrettably, Emmy exec Don Mischer can't explain why The West Wing's Allison Janney snagged yet another statue -- but he can answer our other burning questions.
Whose idea was it to do the live bathroom bit with Garry Shandling, Ray Romano, and Chris Rock at urinals?
''Garry's. We had the idea to do something live with Ray, and on the way down Garry grabbed Chris for the bit. I had no idea what was coming.''
Did you cut speeches short this year?
They were 40 seconds like last year. ''ABC said I had to get the show off the air on time.''
But why cut Meryl Streep and not Al Pacino?
''We don't sit there and weigh the content of speeches and then make the decision whether we should [cut them]. These decisions are made based on where you are with time.''
What was James Gandolfini trying to say before his microphone was cut off?
Mischer said he had no idea that the Sopranos star wanted to give a shout-out to a platoon of soldiers in Iraq who'd named their Bradley fighting vehicle Stugotsafter Tony Soprano's boat. ''When David Chase finished, James' mic was cut off because Garry was talking on the other side of the stage.''
Were those real TV fans who came on stage with Shandling?
You bet. Mischer found Amy Scholsohn, 23, of Orlando, and Bruce T. Milam Jr., 26, of Joliet, Ill., by riffling through applications for ABC's Extreme Makeover. Instead of coming to L.A. for surgery, the duo were told they were about to audition for a variety show and were set up in a trailer behind the Emmys in blindfolds and earmuffs. ''We didn't want them to hear or see anything. We crossed our fingers...and it was wonderful.''

A specific example of a trusted vendor would be the company which needs access on a regular basis to fill the vending machines at 9th Ave. Studios or the piano tuner. If a department feels they need a vendor card, they must apply for this card to the Director of Campus Safety and Security. (Appendix A.)
- Guest artists, directors, et al – If an individual is not being paid via payroll at Cornish and therefore not being issued a Jenzabar number by Human Resources, a department must apply for a proxy CornishCard to the Director of Campus Safety and Security. (Appendix A)
Access Permissions
Access permissions will be established based on an individual's employment/enrollment status, residential status (for students in residence halls) and as approved by department chairs to access buildings under special circumstances. (See "non-employee proxy Cornish Cards.)
- Coordination with Building Operating Calendar – Certain buildings are not accessible during the summer months, except by specific request of a Department Chair, e.g. the scene shop.
- Departmentally restricted spaces – Certain buildings and/or rooms are only accessible to specific individuals, e.g. art and design senior studios, scene shop.
Card utilization over the summer
Students registered for Fall Semester are requested to retain their current identification cards. These cards over the summer will facilitate access to only Kerry and MCC. Identification cards for faculty, who have received an employment letter for the fall, will give them access over the summer to MCC and Kerry, as well as the Notion H&S offices for H&S faculty.
Deactivation of Student Cards
- Graduates' access cards will be deactivated three days after the Art and Design BFA Shows conclude.
- Students who have not registered by July 1 for the following fall semester will have their cards deactivated.
What should Faculty and Staff do when leaving employment or for a leave of absence or sabbatical at Cornish?
It is critical that your CornishCard, fob and/or physical keys be returned to Security at MCC, Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. In the instance of faculty, if you have not received an employment letter for the succeeding semester, you must return these items. Human Resources will determine if there are any exceptions to this procedure as it relates to a sabbatical or leave of absence on a case by case basis.
CornishCard Replacement
Community members who lose their CornishCard must report the loss to Campus Safety and Security without delay. Replacement CornishCards are issued by Campus Safety and Security for a non-refundable fee of $25.00 to cover administrative costs.
Community members whose CornishCard is stolen must report the loss to Campus Safety and Security without delay and present a copy of the police report detailing this theft. A replacement card will be issued by Campus Safety and Security for no fee.
If a community member's CornishCard becomes defective or is damaged through normal use, it will be replaced free of charge. CornishCards that are damaged as a result of abuse will be replaced for a non-refundable fee of $25.00. Examples of an abused card would include folded cards, cards with holes in them or cards tampered with to change information. The damaged card must be presented at the time a replacement is being requested.
Safety Education
During New Student Orientation in September and January, students are informed of services offered by Campus Safety and Security. This presentation outlines ways to maintain personal safety and residence hall security. Students are told about crime on-campus and in surrounding neighborhoods. Similar information is presented to new employees at time of hire. Crime Prevention Programs and Sexual Assault Prevention Programs are offered on a continual
Periodically during the academic year Campus Safety and Security and Student Affairs present crime prevention awareness sessions on sexual assault (rape and acquaintance rape), Rohypnol abuse, theft, and vandalism, as well as educational sessions on personal safety and residence hall security. A common theme of all awareness and crime prevention programs is to encourage students and employees to be aware of their responsibility for their own security and the security of others.
In addition to seminars, information is disseminated to students and employees through crime prevention awareness packets, security alert posters, displays, videos and articles on Cornish's website. When time is of the essence, information is released to the College community through security alerts posted prominently throughout campus, through computer memos sent over the Cornish's email system and its electronic text messaging system.
Lost and Found
Campus Safety & Security is the central lost and found station and receives periodic "turn in" of lost and found property. Check with us if you have lost an item on campus. Please note that items found in the Library or Nellie's Cafe may be held in their respective locations.

|24 by 36 oil on canvas
|love me gypsy roots
|tender sand filled grinding
up against yur stone
a dirty sacrament of love
and what you will be finding
in a unfamiliar bone
is it was you who above
self taught perpetually twisted but deliciuosly dark. i was born in portland and raised in the midwest as a kid, but i grew up in alaska. wasilla is my hometown.
living there was intense and beautiful and i did art always. poetry, stories ,murals, pen, pencil fingers ,needles ,costume, makeup, singing ,dancing ,and bird watching .do them all now still, but real hidden. wat i love the most is faces and skin blood bones fibers and the human mind when i hear you and feel you i can paint you in my mind.i like models fashion and everything photography .thank you all peace out
Words come soaked
in the weight of my shed blood
when a girl gets cloaked
in societies mud
of holy water not cleansed
and ive not enough sleep
and of wondering to far
no hill is to steep
ill braid me hair for you
ifin you tye it in a knot
and the messy look you see
is because I forget you not
but for only a single sign
to unravel all these knots
and just a kiss on lips so fine
to dash u from me thoughts
a dark angel in me hell
in the freinds you must keep
an evil apparition
in my dreams were you creep
