Best Practices
5 Best Practices for Internship Programs
Best Practice #1: Provide interns with real work assignments.*
Providing interns with real work is number one to ensuring your program's success. Interns should be doing work related to their major, that is challenging, that is recognized by the organization as valuable, and that fills the entire work term.
You can guarantee that hiring managers provide real work assignments by checking job descriptions, emphasizing the importance of real work assignments during a manager/mentor orientation sessions, and communicating with interns frequently throughout the work term to determine who they perceive what they are doing.
*Note: The best practices presented here assume the organization's goal is to convert interns to full-time hires and is therefore paying its interns. Unpaid internships present a number of problems for organizations focused on intern conversion, not the least of which is legal issues that arise if the unpaid intern is given real work assignments.
Best Practice #2: Hold orientations for all involved.
It's important that everyone "be on the same page," so to speak. Make this happen by holding an orientation session for managers and mentors as well as a session for students. Orientations ensure that everyone starts with the same expectations and role definitions. This is time well spent-the effort you put into these sessions will pay off throughout the program.
Best Practice #3: Provide interns with a handbook and/or website.
Whether in paper booklet format, or presented as a special section on your website, a handbook serves as a guide for students, answering frequently asked questions and communicating the "rules" in a warm and welcoming way.
A separate intern website serves many of the purposes of the handbook, but has the advantage of being easy to change. You can use your website as a communication tool, with announcements from the college relations staff or even articles of interest written by the interns themselves.
Best Practice #4: Provide housing and relocation assistance.
Few employers can afford to provide fully paid housing for interns, but you'll find that you get a lot of appreciations if you offer any kind of assistance toward housing expenses. If that's not possible, provide assistance in locating affordable housing: For those relocating to the job site, the prospect of finding affordable, short-term housing can be daunting. Easy availability of affordable housing will make your opportunity the more attractive to students, broadening your pool of candidates.
If you can pay for all or some of your interns' housing, be sure to design (and stick to) a clear policy detailing who is eligible. This will eliminate any perceptions of unequal treatment. In addition, be aware that employer-paid or employer-subsidized housing is considered a taxable benefit. Check with your internal tax department on exceptions to this.
You will also want to consider the issue of relocation, which is separate although related to housing. Many organizations pay some or all of their interns' relocation expenses to and/or from the job site.
Best Practice #5: Offer scholarships.
Pairing a scholarship with your internship is a great way to recruit for your internship program-and this is especially true if you are having difficulty attracting a particular type of student or student with a specific skill set to your program. Attaching a scholarship can increase your pool of candidates with the desired qualifications.
Best Practice #6: Offer flex-time and/or other unusual work arrangements.
Students mention flex-time as one of their most-desired features in a job. (A flexible time schedule during their internship eases their transition to the workplace.)
If you think about how students spend the day on campus (varied schedule each day, with varied activities such as work, class, social time), you can understand that 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday is a bit of an adjustment for them. A flexible schedule can make them feel less chained in by an unchanging routine.
Other work arrangements that have been found successful with students include keeping them on as part-time, remote employees after they go back to school (depending on the type of work they do for you and whether they have a willing manager), and having them come back and work over school breaks for a couple of weeks. These are excellent ways to keep communications open and build a stronger bond.
Best Practice #7: Have an intern manager.
Having a dedicated manager for your intern program is the best way to ensure that it runs smoothly and stays focused on your criteria for success. Unfortunately, the size and resources available to most internship programs mean that this isn't always possible. If your program isn't big enough to warrant a dedicated full-time staff member, an excellent short-term solution is to hire a graduate student (look for a student working toward an advanced HR degree) to be your intern, and put this college relations intern in charge of the daily operation of the internship program. This gives the interns a "go-to" person, and gives you and your staff a break from the many daily tasks involved in running a program of any size. For this to work, you have to plan the program structure in advance (don't expect your intern to do it), and be very accessible to your college relations intern. A sample of responsibilities for your college relations intern appears at the end of this chapter.
Best Practice #8: Encourage team involvement.
Involve your college recruiting teams-whether they are "volunteers" who participate in college recruiting, staff members dedicated to college recruiting, or some combination of both-in your intern program. They can sponsor social or professional development events, and help to orient the interns to your company culture. In my experience, college team members served as cooks at intern picnics, hosts at speaker events, and drivers for social outings such as ball games.
Best Practice #9: Invite career center staff and faculty to visit interns on site.
Although some programs-especially those that are very structured on the university side-make visits by career center staff and faculty a regular practice, most do not. In general, career center staff and faculty members have relatively few opportunities to visit employer work sites to see firsthand the types of experiences that their students are getting. By inviting them to your site, you will build a better working relationship with these groups, which can lead to more student referrals, enhanced campus visibility, and increased flexibility on their parts when your business needs dictate it.
Best Practice #10: Hold new-hire panels.
New-hire panels are one of the best ways to showcase an organization to interns as a great place to work. These are panels of five or six people who were hired as new grads within the last three years. They act as panelists in a meeting of interns, giving a brief summary of their background and then answering questions from the intern audience. Your interns get insight about your organization from your new hires-people who they perceive are like themselves and who they consequently view as credible sources of information.
In these meetings, I've found that the interns consistently bring up the same topics: Why did you choose this employer over others? What was your first year like? How is being a full-time employee here different from being an intern? Do you recommend getting a graduate degree? In the same field, or an M.B.A.? Is it better to go straight to graduate school after the bachelor's or better to work a while?
It's also fairly consistent that the new hires will offer other types of advice to your interns, such as how to handle finances those first couple of years out of school. (Their typical advice: Don't run right out and buy a new car, and, Start contributing the maximum to your savings plan as soon as you are allowed.)
College relations staff should attend these sessions, but should remain unobtrusive, staying in the back of the room so as not to stifle the conversation. By being there, you stay aware of what is on the minds of your target group, and you can answer any detailed questions that may come up, such as those related to benefits.
Best Practice #11: Bring in speakers from your company's executive ranks.
One of the greatest advantages to students in having internships is the access they get to accomplished professionals in their field. Consequently, speakers from the executive ranks are very popular with students-it's a great career development and role modeling experience for interns. Having a CEO speak is especially impressive. Best scenario: Your CEO speaker is personable, willing to answer questions, and willing and able to spend a little informal time with the students after speaking-your interns will be quite impressed.
For you, having your executives speak to interns is another way to "sell" your organization to the interns, and get your executives invested in (and supporting) your program.
Best Practice #12: Offer training/encourage outside classes.
Providing students with access to in-house training-both in work-skills-related areas, such as a computer language, and in general skills areas, such as time management-is a tangible way to show students you are interested in their development.
You may also want to consider providing interns with information about nearby community colleges: Many students will be interested in attending during their work term to take care of some electives and/or get a little ahead with the hours they need to graduate. If you have the budget, you may also want to consider paying the tuition for courses they take while working for you, but, as is the case with housing, any assistance you can provide-even if it's just providing them with information about local schools-will earn you points with students.
Best Practice #13: Conduct focus groups/surveys.
Conducting focus groups and feedback surveys with these representatives of your target group is a great way to see your organization as the students see it. Focus groups in particular can yield information about what your competitors are doing that students find appealing.
Best Practice #14: Showcase intern work through presentations/expo.
Students work very hard at completing their work and are generally proud of their accomplishments. Setting up a venue for them to do presentations (formal presentations or in a fair-type setting such as an expo) not only allows them to demonstrate their achievements, but also showcases the internship program to all employees.
Best Practice #15: Conduct exit interviews.
Whether face-to-face or over the telephone, a real-time exit interview done by a member of the college relations team is an excellent way to gather feedback on the student's experience and to assess their interest in coming back. Having the students fill out an exit survey and bring it to the interview gives some structure to the conversation.

Tips for Employers Providing References to Students
If a student who has done an internship with your organization asks to use your name as a reference for a job application, here are some tips:
1. Discuss the type of reference that you will provide with the person who asks you to be a reference. If you cannot provide a good reference, be honest with the individual. Don't promise a "glowing reference" and then provide merely a "glimmer."
2. Follow your organization's policy regarding providing a reference. If references are handled in a centralized fashion, advise the prospective employer that even though you may be named as a reference, your organization's policy prohibits you from providing the reference. Direct the employer to the appropriate person in the organization.
3.Respond only to specific inquiries; do not volunteer information.
4.There is no such thing as "off the record." Informal discussions with prospective employers regarding a person's performance should be avoided.
5. Prior to providing a reference, obtain consent from the person about whom the reference will be given. If you are unaware that the job applicant has named you as a reference, ask the prospective employer for verification that the individual has given consent for the reference. Such verification could include a copy of the student's signed application listing you as a reference, your name listed as a reference on the student's resume, or verbal confirmation by the student to you.
6. Do not include information that might indicate an individual's race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, citizenship status, sex, or marital status.
7. Do not base an opinion of performance on stereotypes about an individual. For example, "for a woman, she excels in math."
8. Information should be factual, based upon personal knowledge/observation of the student through direct contact, or obtained from the personnel record or student record.
9. Avoid giving personal opinions or feelings. If you make subjective statements or give opinions because they are requested, clearly identify them as opinions and not as fact.
10. Do not guess or speculate. If someone asks you questions regarding personal characteristic about which you have no knowledge, sate that you have no knowledge.
11. Relate references to the specific position for which the student has applied and to the work that the applicant will perform.
12. State in the reference letter: "This information is confidential and should be treated as such. It is provided at the request of (name of student), who has asked me to serve as a reference.
13. Document all information you release.

For more information about how to request STAT help contact: email@example.com for assistance or request a student directly through the Student Temporary Assist Team (STAT)! form.
Federal Work Study
The Career Management Center oversees all of the Federal Work-study (FWS) positions on campus. Campus offices and department must post all FWS positions though ODU CareerLink. Students are hired by the office while payroll administered by the Career Management Center Student Employment Team. Please contact email@example.com more information on posting and hiring for your FWS positions.
How does the CMC help me with FWS?
The CMC will help all departments with FWS student openings post positions and process all hiring paperwork. Once a student is hired and working through your department, the CMC will monitor each student's FWS balance as well as your departments overall FWS budget allotment. Supervisors and students will get notifications for any FWS changes as well as updates on balances and other depletion milestones.
All FWS students are now hired through the CMC, how does this affect me?
Overall, your day to day operations with FWS students will not change much. What will change is how departments post all FWS jobs in CareerLink, and how the CMC processes the hiring paperwork and monitors the FWS payrolls. All departments will still hire the student(s) that best fit their needs, set the student's schedules, as well as train and mentor the student(s). Please contact CMC Student Employment if you need help starting the process.
Why are my FWS students hired through the CMC?
In order to better manage the entire budget of Federal Work-study funds, the University has decided to centralize the FWS hiring process through the Career Management Center. This will allow the university to maximize its funding potential and limit the risk of losing any future funds. If you had a FWS budget in the most recent fiscal year, you should expect roughly the same allotment for the upcoming fiscal year. Please check with your Fiscal Technician to see if there is a budget item for FWS in the last budget cycle.
How do I post a FWS job with the Career Management Center?
If you have been allocated a FWS budget, you can log into ODU CareerLink and post your position. You need to identify how you want students to apply (via online or in person) and limit your position to FWS only. Once your position is approved, it will be posted online and made available for student applications.
What if I don't have a Careerlink account?
You will first need to register as an employer in CareerLink by completing an Employer Registration. Once your account is verified, you will receive a Welcome Email containing your login credentials. Use the provided link to login as an employer. Select jobs from your CareerLink Toolbar. Make sure that "Single School Postings" is highlighted then select "+Add New" from the bottom of your screen. Fill out all required fields and submit. Once your position is approved, it will be posted online and made available for student applications.
Community Service Internship (CSI)
CSI gives Federal Work Study (FWS) students an opportunity to earn their award by working for a variety of qualifying on-campus and off-campus non-profit or governmental agencies in the local area. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com more information on obtaining a CSI Student.
America Reads & America Counts
America Reads and America Counts are federally sponsored programs that place college students in local elementary schools to tutor students in reading and math. This service is provided at no cost to the schools and not only benefits the children with skill development but also provides them the opportunity to interact with college students who can become role models for their future educational and social aspirations. Please contact email@example.com for more information on obtaining an America Reads or an America Counts tutor.

Workplace Diversity
Workplace diversity means creating an inclusive environment that embraces people's individual differences and provides opportunities for all staff to achieve their full potential. When staff are encouraged to work in their areas of strength and capability, they are happier, more productive and more likely to stay with the organization.
Valuing individual diversity means reaching beyond stereotypical views of individuals and using the strengths and different perspectives that each person offers as a result of his or her culture, religion, ethnicity, gender, race, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, and age.
What are the benefits of a diverse workforce?
Recognizing diversity allows employees to feel needed and have a sense of belonging, which in turn increases their commitment to the company and allows each person to contribute in a unique way. Maintaining a diverse workforce also helps build trust and reassurance, reduces absenteeism and workplace bullying, and minimizes workplace conflicts, as well as safety and health concern.
How do I retain a diverse workforce?
Retaining a diverse workforce is as easy as respecting people and embracing the differences that exist in your organization. You can also include diversity as part of your mission statement and display it on your website. This works both for recruiting and retaining a diverse staff. As well be aware of your own biases and stereotypes and integrate diversity training into your work environment.
What practical steps can I take to maintain a diverse workforce?
Employees stay at organizations because they feel valued, respected, and appreciated.
Great ways to engage diverse talent are through executive/leadership-development programs and ongoing mentoring for promotional opportunities. Employees should be encouraged at every level to participate in the diversity process.

A distinguished roster of legal experts gathered in New York City this past fall to honor U.S. District Court Judge Jack B. Weinstein '48, who turned 90 in August. The retrospective brought together, among others, Professor John C. Coffee Jr., U.S. District Court Judge Denise L. Cote '75, Touro Law School professor and Weinstein scholar Jeffrey B. Morris '65, and New York City Bar Association President Samuel W. Seymour '82 to discuss Weinstein's jurisprudence and influence. Weinstein was on hand to interact with guests and answer questions.
He's 90! Wow! I was an observer at the ALPA trial and sat in on one of his Columbia Law School classes on civil procedure - I thought he was the smartest and sexiest judge and law school professor ever. I'm also a niece of former NYS Appellate Court Chief Justice Edmund (Ned) Lewis and would like to know if there is any chance that Columbia Law School still has any openings for students who earned less than $45K last year who are interested in adding a law degree to their c.v. I told Judge Weinstein that a law degree should be a requirement for anyone living in New York. His reply: "It couldn't hurt." Love the guy. Please forward my best wishes and a belated Happy Birthday. P.S. Anyone there who could help us Save the JFK Terminal 3 Worldport? Tearing it down is not progress. From a security point of view T3 was designed with intelligence by Charles Lindbergh and Juan Trippe. Three security checkpoints. T4 only has one. Imagine a Boston Marathon scenario with all Middle Eastern airlines, Latin American airlines and Delta all crammed into one security checkpoint. WHAT are they thinking? Renowned architect David Rockwell said that if T3 Worldport is torn down, fifty years from now people will regret it and say, WHAT were they thinking? He also said that it is as deserving of landmark status as TWA JFK terminal and Grand Central Station terminal. Grand Central was saved by Jackie Kennedy Onassis and friends after it lost landmark status because it was so neglected. Thanks. Give my love and best to Prof/ Judge Jack.

Auriou Chris Pye Lettering Tools
Lettering chisels designed by master carver Chris Pye and made by Auriou Toolworks in France. These tools are forged the traditional way: by hammering a steel blank to length before profiling. This process not only develops the best grain structure for holding a fine edge, but also allows the tools to be thinner and lighter but still strong.
The seven Double Beveled Allongee Chisels are ideal for carving the strata in most lettering styles. As opposed to heavier, parallel-sided chisels, the allongee style blades taper from shoulder to tip, reducing overall weight. This shape also allows the corners to fit into recesses more easily, and gives greater visibility around the tool.
Additional Lettering Gouges and Fishtail chisel are designed for cutting a wide range of serifs and for removing material.

On Nov. 5, 2013, Texas voters approved Proposition 6 enabling the state to create two funds-the State Water Implementation Fund for Texas (SWIFT) and the State Water Implementation Revenue Fund for Texas (SWIRFT)-that will help finance projects in the state water plan.
Before the funds are made available, TWDB must develop a point system to prioritize projects and develop rules on how the funds will operate. Once these tasks are complete, the SWIFT can be used to fund rural water projects, projects related to conservation and reuse, and projects in communities and cities of all sizes.
Throughout the process, we'll report on our progress in a transparent manner and show which water plan projects are receiving funding. See where we are in the process on our timeline or view our SWIFT presentation for more details.
Ensuring Texas' future water supply is vital to our state's continued economic growth. We encourage you to participate in the planning process to make sure your community is represented.

YOUNGSTERS at Tatworth Primary School were visited by staff from Dairy Crest as part of their project looking at food from around the world.
Children left with free samples of milkshakes and cheese and during the visit used a UV light to see how well they washed their hands, mix cream and added flavouring, before tasting their work.
Alison Low organised the trip and the Year 2 children also learnt about a healthy balanced diet

While several events will go on rain or shine, the imminent storm has prompted a few cancellations, including the Mardi Gras Parade that was supposed to take place in downtown Phoenix.
As they hammer away at the final hour, organizers of the cultural celebration for the new LDS temple in Gilbert are hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.
"There are 12,000 youth in this show and then you add another 5,000 adults that are helping," said Rosanne Tidwell, the event's director. "We're going to have close to 17,000 people at the bottom of this basin."
Tidwell said rain or shine, the show will go on.
"I'm saying I love the rain, bring it in, but we're hoping for just a window," Tidwell said.
Tidwell said they'll take down their jumbotrons if it gets too windy and throw tarps over the equipment. She's hoping everybody else will come prepared, too.
"We've been sending out notes reminding everybody to make sure they have coats, bring parkas, whatever is going to take for them to stay warm," Tidwell said.
Other events Valley-wide are going on as scheduled. Runners picked up their race packets in Mesa for the Phoenix Marathon early Saturday morning. And Devoured, the food and drink festival in Central Phoenix, is serving up a cloudy day with a chance of meatballs.
"We've ordered extra tents, all restaurants will be tents, all wineries and breweries will be tented," said Devoured coordinator Margaree Bigler said.
Organizers for the two-day event at the Phoenix Art Museum say while they have the guests covered, folks should bring those warm clothes they've probably already stashed away.
"If you have a rain parka or some sort of rain gear that you can wear so you can actually hold your beer and wine and food, that is encouraged," Bigler said.

Alexander Payne is once again an Oscar-nominated director, for his wonderful film The Descendants (still my favorite picture of 2011), but you may not be aware that his love of cinema runs deep. When he agreed to introduce Lon Chaney in He Who Gets Slapped at last year's San Francisco Silent Film Festival, he talked about his lifelong passion, and his love of silent film, with such eloquence that I later asked if he would allow me to reprint his speech. This seems as good a time as any.
Like most of you, I fell in love with silent film as a child, even as my exposure to them, in 1960s and '70s Omaha, was limited. And I'm sure that like many of you, I spent all of my allowance money for years on 8mm prints of silents—and most of that money sent, in money orders purchased at the drug store, to Blackhawk Films in Davenport, Iowa. Blackhawk allowed me, for example, to screen at age 12 The Phantom of the Opera to my father, who'd seen it in 1925, and to have him recall his initial reaction at age 10.
Later, at UCLA Film School, I found that my professor of silent film had curated the Blackhawk collection, and again in this room it's an honor to be in the presence of David Shepard. It was he who in great part, a dozen years before meeting him, had permitted my earliest film education to include Chaplin and Griffith and Keaton and Turpin and of course Chaney; and to be able to watch those films over and over again. Also a tremendous honor to be in the presence of Mr. Brownlow, and in the presence of all of you who, like me, adore silent film, the bulb of the tulip.
There's little if anything I can tell the people in this room about the specifics of this well-known and widely admired film. The program notes are terrific, so I'll leave it to you to read them or research about the Leonid Andreyev play on which it's based—I read it, by the way, and I think the adaptation is a big improvement—or about the careers of Chaney or Victor Sjostrom, or how this was MGM's first production and the first appearance of the lion. You'll see for yourself the beauty of the visuals and the discipline of the filmmaking.
Anyway, I suspect that when they invite people like me to introduce a film, they're perhaps more interested in hearing how a contemporary practitioner might view the film, so please allow me to share some personal thoughts about Chaney and a film such as this. He Who Gets Slapped gets me thinking about two things: the performer as auteur, and the importance in movies of dream.
A beautiful thing about cinema is that the very greatest film actors—no matter the director, no matter the studio, even no matter the screenplay—are capable of creating, even over a relatively short time, a body of work expressing a world view, or at least a posture toward the world, nearly as cohesive and compelling as a director's. Bogart, Mastroianni, Nicholson, Dietrich. Chaney is one of the first of these and one of the very greatest.
He wrote, "I wanted to remind people that the lowest types of humanity may have within them the capacity for supreme self-sacrifice. The dwarfed, misshapen beggar of the streets may have the noblest ideals. Most of my roles since The Hunchback, such as The Phantom of the Opera, He Who Gets Slapped, The Unholy Three, etc., have carried the theme of self-sacrifice or renunciation. These are the stories which I wish to do."
But how he did it says something very deep not just about his career but about cinema in general and silent cinema in particular.
In Mr. Brownlow's documentary about Chaney, Ray Bradbury says, "He was someone who acted out our psyches. He got into the shadows inside our bodies; he was able to nail down some of our secret fears and put them on-screen."
"The history of Lon Chaney is the history of unrequited loves. He brings that part of you out into the open, because you fear that you are not loved, you fear that you never will be loved, you fear there is some part of you that's grotesque, that the world will turn away from."
I'm far from the first one to say this, but one of cinema's greatest uses or values lies not just in its ability to capture reality, but to capture or suggest dream. And silent film excelled from the start at fully embracing the weirdness of real life and dream and how the two can be combined into a story the likes of which I think we've not seen in talkies—at least not in quantity. I think we find represented in silent film a fuller, weirder totality of human experience.
Other narrative arts could be related to dream as well, but only the cinema is able to do it with actual images corresponding mysteriously to reality and without a single spoken word—the language of dream. By "dream," I don't mean just actual dream representation but also the Jungian and Freudian senses of unconscious imagery revealing the psyche.
One often glimpses more in silent film, experiences more in silent film, the qualities and expressions and language of dream. And this is the level at which I am drawn to view so much of Chaney's work and where I see an incredibly strong through-line in so many of his films—certainly this one and the [Tod] Browning's. It's no accident that a presence such as Chaney's emerged so vigorously in silent film.
Another thought. Many directors with the luck to start in silents retained a heightened sense of pictorialism throughout their careers, but it was Buñuel who to my mind conserved into the 1970s the oneiric sense of cinema we see in silents and very much in Chaney films like the one tonight.
Buñuel is one of my favorites directors of talkies since he remained, to my eye anyway, a silent film director all of his life both in visual sense and in his consciousness of the power of cinema to fold dream imagery into reality. I invite you sometime to watch Viridiana orLos Olvidados with the sound off.
And a connection: there's something Spanish that I find in the grotesquerie of Chaney films, a pathos of the grotesque seen not only in Buñuel but in centuries of Spanish literature and painting. Think of that final dark period of Goya's.
Chaney's performance in this one is simply magnificent—utter commitment to the role and to the humanity expressed, no overacting—even he was mindful of his occasional tendency. Ford Sterling gives a lovely and for him subtle performance. The future Mrs. Thalberg is quite captivating; I actually prefer her in silents.
But both for the story and the performance, I invite you to free associate as you watch this fairly insane clown movie: images of a great intellectual suddenly converted into a masochistic clown, the attack of a lion, a heart buried in sand as crowds roar in laughter. Where is today that fabulous oneiric quality of silent film?
A final reflection at the conclusion of this terrific festival. One of my aspirations is to achieve one day in a film of my own, a passage, even a brief one—I'll take twenty seconds—that can approach the direct and mysterious cinematic beauty we see in silent film.

I am a young director who absolutely loves silent film. Here is my contribution to the silent film resurgence: The Great Lyndini http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBRY4_ZJHg8
Bob Giovanelli | February 2, 2012 9:41 PM
Alexander makes a great point that got me thinking. When one thinks of great moments of film throughout history (and I'm thinking of my favorite moments from Kubrick, Spielberg, and other directors)....they could easily be silent-film moments. The visual is all, and of course with a great score, as many silents had at the time, albeit from some organist in the theater. With Payne, one could say that in his latest film, Clooney's frantic run around the corner in flip-flops, or his peeking over the hedges....are his own "silent-film" moments to be proud of.
Anne Smatla | February 1, 2012 1:54 PM
What an absolutely wonderful read. Alexander Payne is an exceptional director and we were honored to have him present the Lifetime Achievement Award to David Shepard at last year's inaugural Denver Silent Film Festival. Silent film holds a special and prevalent place in cinematic history, and to have modern filmmakers present and educate moviegoers about this beautiful art is reputable and admirable.
Peter M | January 31, 2012 5:19 PM
Thank you, Mr. Maltin, for posting this speech. I wish more people appreciated silent films.
I too watched silent 8mm films from Blackhawk when I was a kid. Our local public library had them and I used to check them out often. And when I was a teenager in the 70s, I remember seeing Buster Keaton's The General on public television. It remains my #1 favorite movie to this day. And I'll never forget also seeing Nosferatu on public television around that time and how chilling it was!
I'm grateful to Turner Classic Movies, too, for their Silent Sunday Night features!
Frank Buxton | January 31, 2012 2:34 PM
Mr.Payne's speech was indeed a highlight of last July's San Francisco Silent Film Festival and a nice reminder that the SFSFF has provided us with a weekend of wonder at The Castro Theater each year for 17 years. In addition to next July's event, they are presenting the landmark screening of "Napoleon" in March at the Paramount in Oakland. It's a thrill to attend anything they do.

Wow. A magnificent critical analysis and commentary on my personal God, Lon Chaney (whom I did my Master's thesis on). Wish I could have written so eloquently. Thanks for reproducing this wonderful and thought-provoking speech.

If any director can find that "20 seconds" it'll be Alexander Payne.

And 'Money' keeps on rolling!
Last night (August 31, 2013) at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Chad Mendes met Clay Guida on the UFC 163 pay-per-view (PPV) portion of the card. This Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight match up featured a more aggressive Guida trying to constantly find a takedown against the more accomplished wrestler.
He never was able to get the fight to the mat.
Instead, Mendes was able to dominate the fight both at range and on the mat, whenever he decided to shoot for a takedown. He worked combinations and was able to flawlessly transition into various takedowns. It was his strikes that were his most dangerous weapon.
The fight ending right hook sounded like a gunshot as it connected with Guida's chin and the followup punches on the ground put Guida down for good. This was the first time that Guida has ever been TKO'd in his 44 fight career. It was Mendes' fourth straight finish by TKO.
Mendes used to have a reputation for being a 'boring' fighter, with most of his fights going to decision before Duane Ludwig joined Team Alpha Male as the Head Striking coach. Since Ludwig joined Team Alpha Male as the Head Striking coach earlier this year, the camp is undefeated in the UFC. Their improved striking is definitely a huge part, especially for a wrestling-centered camp.

Not quite strong, aggressive or tough enough to bang with the other post players down low, but not skilled enough to spend as much time on the perimeter as he seems fond of, Ashley is very much stuck in between positions at the moment. He can make an occasional jump-shot with his feet set, but is just an average ball-handler, having a difficult time finishing around the basket through contact. Defensively, he lacks intensity in a major way and regularly had rebounds taken away from him in traffic, not being helped by his short wingspan and underdeveloped frame. Ashely is in the right place at Arizona under Sean MIller to try and overcome his shortcomings and still make the most of his considerable talent-level, but he will have to show a better motor and apply himself more consistently on both ends of the floor if he's to reach his potential. Getting cut may have been a blessing in disguise for him, as he clearly has a lot of work ahead of him.

From a physical standpoint, it's not difficult to see what the recruiting services like about him as he's a very fluid and mobile power forward who can play above the rim and shows very good quickness for a player his size. His frame is underdeveloped at the moment but should fill out very nicely in time. Offensively, Ashley has terrific instincts and shows the potential to do a bit of everything. He likes to step out onto the perimeter where he can knock down shots with range or attack his matchup in a straight line and draw plenty of fouls. He can also go into the post and use his quickness, agility and soft touch to score effectively and get to the free throw line. While Ashley's versatility is intriguing, he isn't always able to impact the game the way you'd expect a player of his caliber to. He tends to fall in love with his jump-shot at times, which isn't consistent enough at this stage, and is a little turnover prone handling the ball on the perimeter. If unable to simply beat his man off the dribble with his first step he doesn't have much of a plan of attack, showing a limited feel for passing to teammates or utilizing countermoves. Perhaps the worst thing that can be said about Ashley is that he doesn't always show a great sense of urgency in his time on the court. His intensity level fluctuates greatly and he seems to let games come to him, which isn't rare considering his age. The place where that shows up the most right now is in his work on defense and as a rebounder. His fundamentals here aren't great, as he rarely boxes out his opponent or gets into a real defensive stance. To Ashley's credit, he readily admits that these are issues he must address. This is one of the reasons he decided to commit to Sean Miller at Arizona, whose teams at Xavier were always known for the intensity and toughness. If Ashley can address his shortcomings and continue to expand his all-around game over time, there's little doubt he'll emerge as a very intriguing NBA prospect, possibly similar to former Arizona power forward Derrick Williams, whose name undoubtedly came up in Miller's recruiting pitch.

Freshly picked vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices, homemade baked goods, local grass-fed and finished meats, free-range chickens and eggs, jams and jellies, cheeses, maple syrup, honey, snack foods, fruit juices, wines and liquors; all this and more, all local, and all on sale at farmers markets across the North Country.
When you shop at local farmers markets, everybody wins. As a customer, you get to select from the freshest, finest and the best local produce and prepared foods money can buy. You can feel good knowing that you're buying locally grown and prepared wholesome, nourishing food, which tastes better and is more nutritious than that picked before it's ripe and transported across the continent or halfway around the world. Besides, it's fun to meet the growers. They'll appreciate your feedback. They're your neighbors. You can talk with them, share thoughts and concerns, ask questions, and get closer to the source of the food you're buying.
We're living in an age of global markets and marketing, of distance and being disconnected. It's all too easy to lose touch with the efforts and the productivity of our area's growers. But, shopping at the farmers market supports local growers and keeps money circulating within the community. A purchase also promotes productive use and the preservation of our land, water and agricultural heritage for future generations.
The tradition of farmers markets can be traced to ancient times when marketplaces were the centers of villages and towns. Not only were they places people gathered to buy, barter and trade, they were places where people met to exchange news and share stories.
Farmers markets have deep roots in our history, too. By many accounts, they have existed as a part of American society since the 1700s. In fact, throughout much of the 18th and 19th centuries, outdoor marketplaces were the heart of our cities and centers of commerce in rural communities. The Central Market, in Lancaster, Pa., has been held in the same location since the 1730s. George Washington wrote about sending his kitchen staff to shop at Philadelphia's outdoor market during the 1790s, and Thomas Jefferson wrote, in 1806, about buying beef, eggs and vegetables at an outdoor market in Georgetown.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Soho has been a shopping destination for so long, it hardly seems worth remarking that a new corner of the neighborhood has opened its arms to fashion. Nevertheless, something does seem to be afoot on the nabe's downtown edge. Agnès B. is due to open soon on Howard Street. Just around the block on Grand Street, Alexander Wang is taking over the old Yohji space. And now Victoria Bartlett has opened her first-ever VPL store at the junction of Mercer and Howard. "So-Soho," Bartlett suggests visitors call the area, tongue planted gently in cheek. There's certainly nothing mediocre about her boutique, which she's kitted out with vintage gym gear (gymnastic rings, a pommel horse, etc.) and filled with clothes from her main line and VPL Two collections, as well as a selection of the collaborative jewelry she shows on the VPL runway. "I didn't want to do either the cliché white-on-white fashion store, or the filled-to-bursting boutique," Bartlett said. "I just wanted the space to feel really VPL, an agglomeration of all my influences." To wit, Bauhaus-inspired color-blocking here (reminiscent of her signature color-blocked underthings), and a model of a human spine there (homage to Bartlett's fascination with human anatomy). Bartlett will be celebrating the store opening with a party this Thursday, by which point, the Mark Borthwick portraits of people wearing VPL will be up on the walls. "Lo-so? Do-so?" Bartlett continued, still brainstorming. "Eh," she said, finally. "Just call it Soho."
VPL opens Friday at 5 Mercer St., NYC, (646) 912-6142, email@example.com.

Norway's Kvelertak have been quietly but steadily gaining a lot of notoriety after the release of their self-titled debut album in 2010. If you haven't heard the band's mix of hardcore punk, black metal and hard rock, there's no better place to start than scrolling down and watching the band's new video for the song "Blodtorst."
In anticipation of their upcoming new album, Unto the Locust, Machine Head have sent us this exclusive teaser video from the album's bonus DVD. Scroll down, and whet your appetite!
Scratch that new Les Paul off your Christmas wish list and add this: Testament's Alex Skolnick and Megadeth's Chris Broderick have just announced the first annual Skolnick & Broderick's Winter Guitar Retreat, which is set to take place at Full Moon Resort in New York's Catskill Mountains from December 26-30.
"Curl of the Burl" was one of the first songs fans heard off the upcoming new album from Mastodon, The Hunter, which is out next Tuesday, September 27. You can now check out the trip-inducing music video for the track, which was directed by Robert Schober, below.
If you've already watched our interview with Slayer guitarist Kerry King from Yankee Stadium, then this news will come as no surprise, but for those of you who haven't heard yet, Megadeth were all set to pull out of the Big Four show at Yankee Stadium this past week.
As we reported earlier, the new album from The Devil Wears Prada, Dead Throne, just debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 chart, moving over 32,000 units in its first week.
Earlier this year, the world lost a guitar legend in the late Gary Moore. In memory of the guitar great, Eagle Rock just released Live At Montreux 2010, a DVD that catalogs Gary's final show, and are now offering a free download of the video for "Oh Wild One" at Moore's official website, or from the widget below.
In the midst of all the chaos, I caught up with the members of Anthrax fresh from their opening performance of the day to talk about the added pressure of playing Yankee Stadium, how it felt playing news songs during the show and what songs they would choose for the Big For jam.

U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk joined Illinois Congressman Bobby Rush in a tour of a Chicago neighborhood plagued by street gang violence.
Thursday's tour is a result of harsh criticism the Republican senator received earlier this year when he called for the arrest of up to 18,000 Gangster Disciple members.
Rush, a Chicago Democrat, dismissed Kirk's proposal as a simplistic "white boy" solution to a complex problem.
Rush's office said the pair toured the Englewood community as part of an effort to address urban violence and spur economic growth in the area.
In a joint statement, Kirk and Rush say they will work together to solve Chicago's crime problem.
"Chicago has a serious violence problem and we are united in our efforts to solve it. While we may not agree on every idea, we both know that any law enforcement strategy needs effective community-based programs and economic growth plans to succeed. We are united in our efforts to save lives and stop the violence, and we will continue to work together until we succeed," the statement read.
Earlier this month, Kirk said he went on a ride-along with police through Chicago's South Side as part of his pledge to more fully understand the link between gangs and violence.
"I feel like it is actually a great idea, but I know for a fact that the violence is not going to stop because everybody is at war with everybody," one Englewood resident told FOX 32 news.
Other residents thought the well-intended tour would be a helpful first step, but it can't stop there if the pair expects a successful strategy to come of their meeting.
The tour is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. Thursday.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 14 winner John Dodson will battle Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Flyweight Champion Demetrious Johnson in the UFC on Fox 6 main event this Saturday night (Jan. 26 2013) at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
"The Magician" burst onto the mainstream mixed martial arts (MMA) scene via TUF, winning four straight fights with three knockouts in a weight class above (135 pounds) the one in which he normally fights (125 pounds). Once the promotion added the Flyweight division, Dodson dropped down and defeated two more top fighters, including a finish of former No. 1-ranked Jussier Formiga.
Next, the Greg Jackson-trained product will attempt to dethrone the newly crowned champion. Does "The Magician" have the skills to squash "Mighty Mouse"?
Let's take a closer look:
Dodson is primarily a striker and has some of the heaviest hands in the division, with six of his wins coming by way of knockout. He is both a skilled counter striker and aggressor, and has one of the more diverse and unpredictable striking attacks in the sport.
"The Magician" is an extremely quick fighter and has excellent foot work. Dodson will bounce just outside his opponents' striking range before cutting hard angles and slamming them with his left hand. The southpaw is constantly flashing his jab, and has a solid right hook and uppercut.
Dodson specializes in two boxing attacks, the left straight to the body and left hook.
In fact, Dodson throws many straight punches to the body. He's is normally shorter than his opponents, so the body is open to punches and it causes their hands to drop. An excellent example of Dodson's devotion to working the body is his fight against Formiga, a Brazilian grappling specialist. Dodson didn't want to over-commit to a strike, so for the first round he hammered Formiga's body repeatedly.
By the second round, Formiga's hands were lowered and Dodson's left hook was much easier to land.
"The Magician's" finishing punch is almost always his left hook. Dodson often leads with his left hook and constantly feints with it to open up his other strikes. He's very good at ducking a punch, cutting an angle, and then bashing his opponent's face with his left hand.
Take a look at some of the many examples:
In addition to his dynamic boxing, Dodson has some powerful kicks. He likes to throw leg kicks, even tying inside and outside leg kicks into the same combination. In addition to his leg kicks, Dodson constantly throws jump kicks and other flashy attacks. Like the rest of his game, Dodson's kicks are lightning fast and are difficult to catch.
Dodson has some of the quickest knees in MMA, only surpassed by Featherweight champ Jose Aldo. Dodson is quick to attack with knees in the clinch, normally after his opponent fails a takedown, and is very good at timing flying knees. When his opponents get over aggressive, he will step forward and throw a thudding knee to the body.
While Dodson has excellent footwork, his head movement leaves much to be desired. Even though he is a pretty basic striker, Formiga was able to land consistently on Dodson and Tim Elliott smashed him in the final round of their fight, repeatedly landing looping punches.
Dodson is a two-time state champion wrestler, but generally uses his wrestling in reverse to keep the fight standing. Most of Dodson's takedowns are simply opportunistic -- he catches a kick and then throws his opponent to the mat. When Dodson wants to takedown his opponent, he will feint with a left hook, which causes his opponent to cover up, and then explode into a double leg. Dodson managed to takedown Elliot, a skilled wrestler, with a big slam after he broke his hand.
Dodson's takedown defense is incredible. His sprawl is above average, but the real reason he's so good is that Dodson can't be held down. The second his opponent shoots, Dodson will run, roll and fight his way out. Skilled wrestlers like Elliott, T.J. Dillashaw and Johnny Bedford couldn't keep Dodson down, even though all were larger fighters.
In his fight with Elliott, he repeatedly grabbed single leg takedowns. Every time, he'd raise Dodson's leg above his head and try to kick out Dodson's remaining leg, and every time he would fail. Dodson's balance was so spectacular that he was able to bounce around with his foot held hire in the air until he got his back to the fence or Elliott gave up on it.
The one problem with Dodson's style of takedown defense is that it is exhausting. It is all based on explosion, and if a fighter can hold onto Dodson for a prolonged period of time, he will gas himself out.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Since Dodson has literally never been taken down in the UFC, it is impossible to know how he looks off of his back. It is unlikely that Dodson has a deadly guard because he has put all his focus into scrambling back to his feet.
The only insight into "The Magician" that exists is his two first round rear naked choke victories over Zac White on regional circuit. Unfortunately, there is no video, the most recent was 2007, and the rear naked choke is one of the easiest moves in jiu-jitsu.
In short, Dodson's jiu-jitsu is a complete mystery and could be tested against "Mighty Mouse."
Dodson is incredibly quick, very explosive and able to end the fight in an instant. Dodson's explosiveness is the biggest reason he's so successful, as he's able to land powerful punches and get out of the way before his opponent can return strikes.
In fact, he's so athletic that his camp claims the 5'3" Flyweight can dunk a basketball.
The skill that is most impacted by his extreme athleticism is his takedown defense. Dodson has fought bigger, stronger guys who just can't keep up with him on the ground. They'll get in deep on a takedown, maybe even get Dodson's butt to the mat, and then he will turn and literally sprint away from them.
Like many other energetic, muscular fighters, Dodson's cardio can't keep up with his offense. Dodson is prone to coasting as the fight goes on, especially against Albert and Elliott in the later rounds of their fights. This will be a major problem against Johnson, who is just as quick, but can fight hard for five rounds.
Best chance for success
For the first time in his MMA career, Dodson will face someone who is just as athletic and fast as he is. To make up for this, he'll have to focus heavily on cutting angles. Dodson can not allow Johnson to control the center of the Octagon, where he will have many options to avoid Dodson's heavy hands.
Dodson should be able to defend most of Johnson's takedowns and even if he is taken down, "Mighty Mouse" isn't the best at holding fighters down, so Johnson should be able to explode back to his feet even if he is taken down. The important thing here is to punish Johnson every time he shoots, that way he'll be tentative and it will become a striking match.
Just as Dodson has to punish takedown attempts, he also needs to strike when Johnson kicks. If he can turn this into a boxing match, he should have an advantage.
Will "The Magician" knockout Johnson, or will "Mighty Mouse" send Dodson tumbling back down the contender ladder?

No fewer than a dozen story lines intertwine in the star-stuffed New Year's Eve.
Those stories are spliced together and made into a movie. The small stories include first kisses, midnight rendezvous, newborns, dying fathers, trapped strangers and husbands at war. The result is a big, bloated cast of celebrities with little to say, except happy holidays.
So who's in the film? Let's roll the credits:
Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Jon Bon Jovi, Abigail Breslin, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Robert De Niro, Josh Duhamel, Zac Efron, Hector Elizondo, Katherine Heigl, Ashton Kutcher, Seth Meyers, Lea Michele, Sarah Jessica Parker, Michelle Pfeiffer, Til Schweiger, Hilary Swank, Sofia Vergara, Ryan Seacrest, Matthew Broderick, Carla Gugino, John Lithgow, Sarah Paulson, Common, Alyssa Milano, Russell Peters, Jim Belushi, Yeardley Smith, and on and on and on.
The film is two hours long and feels like it. Garry Marshall directs plenty of good actors here, but no one gets to break out and get into character.
The movie is about love and new beginnings, but there is not much to love about this film. Too many stars and not enough dialogue make for a weak romantic comedy, and I'm not laughing at all. This is two hours you will never get back.
If you still want to see this movie, show times at are:
A nice option for a date-night dinner as an alternative to seeing this film might be Douglasville's own .

This one was simple. Talk to any official around the league and they'll likely list right guard Jahri Evans (73) as one of the best, if not the best, guard in the NFL right now. The Saints are working on a long-term deal with Evans, a 2006 fourth-round choice out of Bloomsburg University.
Evans has started 64 consecutive games, the most ever by a Saints offensive lineman to start a career. That also puts him in third all-time with the franchise, 14 behind Bob Pollard and 27 behind Rickey Jackson.
The Saints ran behind Evans 87 times this season, the fourth-most in the NFL for running behind a right guard. In teaming with right tackle Jon Stinchcomb, Evans helped the Saints average 6.08 yards per carry, which was tops in the league.
It's hard to quantify, really, what Evans means to the team in numbers. But his solid technique and his fight up front means quarterback Drew Brees rarely gets hit from his gaps and that running backs more often than not find holes at right guard.
Evans was voted to the Pro Bowl for the first time this season and it likely won't be the only time.
