EDITORS' PREFACE Introduction Public awareness and demand for equal educational opportunities and services for all children has stimulated new and revised education legislation at both state and federal levels. Present and pending legislation has caused in-d2pth studies of, and improvement of, many laws, programs, and policies concerning equal opportunity education, especially educational programs and services for the handicapped. Many states are in varying stages of planning and implementation changes in their educational services programs. State Department Special Education Division personnel are actively participating in the development of effective programs designed to meet the educational needs of the handicapped children in their state. The implementation of comprehensive educational services for the handicapped requires cooperation between local, state, and federal personnel. Effective June 1, 1974 the United States Office of Education - Bureau of Education for the Handicapped (BEH) contracted a network of 13 Regional Resource Centers plus a coordinating office for the Regional Resource Centers to assist states in developing an intrastate capacity in regard to identification, diagnosis, and prescription of educational programs and services to handicapped children. The Conference The theme "State of the Art: Diagnosis and Treatment," was selected and planning for the conference began. Eight nationally- recognized specialists were commissioned to write and present papers to the conference participants. The Sheraton International Inn and Conference Center, Reston, Virginia, was chosen for the five day con- ference, September 20 - 24, 1974. Participants invited to attend the conference included the Directors of Special Education of the fifty states, Samoa, Guam, Trust Territories, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands; the past and present Regional Resource Center Directors; the staff of the Bureau of Education for the Handicapped, or designated representatives. 4 ii The Conference monograph is :omprised of Dr. Edwin Martin's keynote address to the participants, the eight commissionedpapers, the "concerns" of the authors of the papers, anda directory of those who attended the Conference. Copies of the monograph have been distributed to all Regional Resource Centers, Area Learning Resource Centers, State Departments, Special Education Divisions and the Bureau of Educationfor the Handicapped. Additional copies may be obtained from Coordinating Office of Regional Resource Centers (CORRC) Bradley Hall, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky 40506, Dr. Marty Martinson,Project Director. Background A recommendation of the First Annual Working Conferenceof Regional Resource Centers held in June of 1972 in Iowawas that a follow-up conference be held in the fall of 1973. The Iowa Midwestern Educational Resource Center (MERC) followed this recommendationby including in its grant renewal request, funds fora Second Annual Conference. Proposed expansion of BEH's Regional Resource Centerprogram from the original six centers to a comprehensive network of Regional Resource Centers precipitated som'2 changes in the proposedconference format and time-lines. The planning committee for the proposed conferencewas comprised of the six Regional Resource Center directors andElwood Bland, Project Director, Learning Resource Branch, BEH. The directors were Judy Buffmire, Jim Crosson, David Hayden, Martin Hayott,Mike Robbins and Dick Petre. Mike Robbins was named Chairman of the planning committee. Acknowledgements We wish to express our gratitude to Elwood Bland, BEH,for his assistance and -encouragement in the coordination and operationof the conference.

Martin Acting Deputy Commissioner Bureau of Education for the Handicapped A Paper Presented at the National Regional Resource Center Conference Reston, Virginia September, 1974 2 THE REGIONAL RESOURCE CENTER STRATEGY: SIX MEN IN SEARCH OF AN ELEPHANT The old fable concerning the blind men feeling the elephant and then describing its shape demonstrated that what a person thinks is "truth" depends to some extent on-individual perceptions. So too, with the true nature of the regional resource centers. Those of you who operate such centers, day by day, and who are striving to both create and implement a concept which is "still evolving, will naturally have the best perception and the best reality of what RRCs really are. Those of us in the Bureau will necessarily have our knowledge delimited by having to deal with the centers through abstractions, written reports, short site-visits, reports from others;-and, to some extent, our per- ceptions will be colored by our thoughts of what such centers should be, as we conceived them in the abstract. One important dimension of our communication during this meeting, and throughout our contacts should be to try to make our communication as effective as possible so that we can all share, to the maximum extent, the true nature of the centers. I'd like to share with you tonight some of our perceptions of this elephant, where we began and where we hope to go, and what is behind our thinking. Then, in turn, we want to hear from you, not only this weekend, but at any time as we continue to work together. The RRC program, like the federal programs of support for teacher education, research, early childhood centers, grants to the states, etc., are all part of

It argues that women in these texts function as an “absent presence,” by which I mean that they are a convention of the patriarchal gangster landscape and often with little import while at the same time they cultivate resistant strategies from within this backgrounded positioning. Whereas previous scholarly work on gangster texts has identified how women are characterized as stereotypes, this dissertation argues that women characters frequently employ the marginal positions to which they are relegated for empowering effect. This dissertation begins by surveying existing gangster scholarship. There is a preoccupation with male characters in this work, as is the case in most gangster texts themselves.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications THE BRAND AND THE BOLD: CARTOON NETWORK’S BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD AS COMICS-LICENSED CHILDREN’S TELEVISION A Thesis in Media Studies by Zachary Roman © 2011 Zachary Roman Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts May 2011 The thesis of Zachary Roman was reviewed and approved* by the following: Matthew P. McAllister Professor of Communications Thesis Advisor Barbara Bird Associate Professor of Communications Jeanne Lynn Hall Associate Professor of Communications Marie Hardin Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT This thesis critiques the animated children's television program, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, debuting in 2008 on Cartoon Network, as a synergistic corporate commodity. In the program, Batman teams up with a guest hero who helps him vanquish the villain. The commodity and commercial functions of this premise is to introduce and promote secondary licensed brands -- the “guest heroes” and “guest villains” -- for synergistic profit based on the current popularity with the program’s anchor brand, Batman. Given Time Warner's ownership of multiple media outlets including Warner Bros. Animation, DC Comics and Cartoon Network, the program serves as a bridge text to usher young consumers of Time Warner content into becoming long-term consumers of more adult iterations of many of these same characters and licenses. The thesis contextualizes the program in the larger scholarly literature of the nature of media licensing, the history of commercialism on children's television, comic books and children's media licensing.

  • The Brand and the Bold: Synergy and Sidekicks in Licensed-Based Children’S Television
    Spring 2012 Global Media Journal Volume 12, Issue 20 Article 2 The Brand and the Bold: Synergy and Sidekicks in Licensed-based Children’s Television Zachary Roman College of Communications The Pennsylvania State University Matthew P. McAllister, Ph.D. Department of Film-Video & Media Studies College of Communications The Pennsylvania State University Keywords Children’s Television, Synergy, Licensing, Media Brands, Media Promotion, Superheroes, Batman. Abstract This paper examines the animated program Batman: The Brave and the Bold (BB&B), debuting in 2008 on the US cable television Cartoon Network, and related licensing as products of mediated corporate synergy. The program integrates various Time Warner subsidiaries and licensing partners to create a coordinated universe of characters with particular ideological implications for branded character relationships, commodity play, and gender norms. Explored are two elements of BB&B: the number and type of guest heroes and villains on the program and in subsidiary licenses, and the role of Batman in the narrative world of BB&B. By emphasizing the necessary pairing of large numbers of mostly younger male guest heroes with the older Batman, the brand encourages a “completist” approach toward consumption and a masculine style of play. Implications for the future of children’s entertainment in a world of corporate media are discussed. Introduction In 1955 the U.S. comic book publisher DC Comics premiered The Brave and The Bold, initially an adventure book featuring knights and Vikings (Daniels, 1999). Eventually the title showcased DC’s many superhero characters such as Hawkman, Wonder Woman and the Justice League of America. The comic shifted its focus to Batman beginning in 1966, with each issue pairing him with another DC superhero, often a "second-tier" character such as The Creeper or Deadman, as they battled different supervillains.
