"In landscape I see a revelation of how pure spirituality has descended into physical existence ... These are the scenes, on the human edge of the cosmos, that I am showing in these photographs." —Neil Folberg
This exquisite portfolio comes from the Aperture book and exhibition Celestial Nights: Visions of An Ancient Land (2001). The world depicted here is composed of a delicately constructed order where earthly elements and the heavens mirror each other. Folberg sets an ancient land resonant with meaning—as it is the cradle to three major world religions—against the awesome and eternal spectacle of the night sky. Folberg's night landscapes carry an aura that is both earthly and divine, emphasizing the singular and poignant presence of objects against the backdrop of the infinite. His photographs describe places where the spiritual is at once near, imprinted in the forms of the arid landscapes, and far away in the dark, starlit recesses of space.
Neil Folberg (born in San Francisco) is widely known for his color photographs of the landscape and architecture of the Middle East and Mediterranean. Celestial Nights represents a return to black-and-white photographs, a technique he honed as a student and colleague of the late Ansel Adams. Folberg's first book was In A Desert Land (Abbeville Press, 1987); his second,And I Shall Dwell Among Them (Aperture, 1995), a study of the architecture of synagogues throughout the Jewish diaspora, received the National Jewish Book Award. Galleries worldwide have exhibited Folberg's work; his photographs are in collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Bibliothéque Nationale, Paris, The Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C., and the Tel-Aviv Museum, among others. Folberg has lived since 1976 with his wife and three sons in Jerusalem, where he founded the Vision/Neil Folberg Gallery.

Quote from: Glassman6 on July 17, 2006, 07:17 PMVery cool, i like the silver plating, what did you use? Ayya Vida and what else?Thanks Glassman...You're correct on the Ayya Vida body. Though I cut down her hip joint, to make her not be quite so wide-stanced. Because of this, the back, or rather her backend looked a a little wierd, so I "installed" an Aayla Secura backend. For the silver plating I used aluminum tape, cut in very small and specific pieces to fit over the contour of the body, and to look like panels. I finally used silver paint to give it a bit of a wash, and to fill in at the joints.Thanks again!
Very cool, i like the silver plating, what did you use? Ayya Vida and what else?

Streams in the Desert
Category: Devotionals
Included in the Zondervan Personal Growth Study Suite. Now also available for individual purchase through Easy Install.
An updated version for the 21st century of one of the best-selling devotional books of all time, this text is based on the NIV and will lead you from life's dry, desolate places to the waters of the River of Life -- and beyond, to their very Source.
In a barren wilderness, L. B. Cowman long ago discovered a fountain that sustained her, and she shared it with the world. Streams in the Desert -- her collection of prayerful meditations, Christian writings, and God's written promises--has become one of the most dearly loved, best-selling devotionals of all time since its first publication in 1925. Filled with insight into the richness of God's provision and the purpose of His plan, this enduring classic has encouraged and inspired generations of Christians. "I heard the flow of hidden springs; before me palms rose green and fair; The birds were singing; all the air was filled and stirred with angels' wings."
Now James Reimann, editor of the highly acclaimed updated edition of My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers, again brings us the wisdom of the past in the language of today, by introducing this updated edition of Streams in the Desert. With fresh, contemporary wording and precise NIV text, the timeless message of the original flows unhindered through these pages, lending guidance and hope to a new generation of believers. We never know where God has hidden His streams. We see a large stone and have no idea that it covers the source of a spring. We see a rocky areas and never imagine that it is hiding a fountain. God leads me into hard and difficult places, and it is there I realize I am where eternal streams abide. Day by day, Streams in the Desert will lead you from life's dry desolate places to the waters of the River of Life -- and beyond, to their very Source.

The 49ers have basically finished a trade that would send quarterback Alex Smith elsewhere. Unless they haven't.
Not coincidentally, it's late February in the NFL.
Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee reports that the 49ers don't have a deal in place to trade Smith once the trading period opens at 4:00 p.m. ET on March 12.
Barrows notes at the outset of his tweet that it's lying time in the NFL. But if the Niners are letting it leak that a deal is "effectively done" (whatever that means) and not identifying the name of the team, there's a good chance that there is no team — and that the tactic is aimed at smoking a team or two out of the weeds.
Many presume there will be an aggressive trade market for Smith. But with the 49ers unable to convince anyone that they'd keep Smith around against his wishes at $8.5 million, the Niners need at least two teams to want Smith. Otherwise, there can and will be no market for his services.
The Chiefs continue to make the most sense. But if the Chiefs are the only interested team, all Andy Reid needs to do is put on his poker face and wait for the 49ers to cut Smith.
Based on the trades Andy Reid pulled off while in Philly, we wouldn't bet against Reid winning this hand.
The overlooked dynamic in the formula is Smith. He'll have to want to play for the team to which he's dealt. If, in the end, there's only one team he wants to play for, it'll make it very hard for the 49ers to get another team to the table.
Thus, until there are two teams who want Smith and vice-versa, it'll be hard to work out a trade, regardless of the gadgets that may get employed to get a deal done.
Including but not limited to leaking to the media that a deal is "effectively done."

Teen falls through ice at Forge Pond
Bicyclist passing by pond jumps in to assist
A 14-year-old girl, who was rescued by a passing bicyclist, was recovering at a local hospital Thursday night after falling through the ice at Forge Pond in Hanover.
Why she was on the ice was not clear, but she had fallen through on a warm day and was submerged in the water, unable to get out.
Richard Cullen, of Scituate, who was riding his bike nearby, heard her screams and flagged down nearby drivers to call 911.
"All I could see was her head, basically, and she had her elbows propped up on the ice," said Cullen. "I just said to myself, 'C'mon, get at it. You've got to get in there.'"
Cullen jumped in to help her. He said at first, he was about two to three feet over his head.
"I pulled a big stick out of the bank, about a 20-foot long stick, thinking it might hold me up. But the ice was really soft, so I just got of broke my way through it, and then it got thicker, and I kind of pounded my way through it with my stick. And I got to her," he said. "She wasn't looking very good when I got there."
Two other passersby, Russ Reynolds of Marshfield and Ross Ferguson of Hanover, went into the water to assist.
"I flipped the stick around to them. And they had one end of the stick, I had the girl and the stick, and they pulled us right out. It was really no big deal," Cullen said. "She said, 'I can't feel my legs or my arms.' And I said, 'Don't worry, honey. We'll get you out. We'll get you out.'
The girl, who was not identified, was taken to South Shore Hospital, where she was conscious and alert.
"He saved that girl's life, there's no doubt about it," said Hanover Fire Chief Jeffrey Blanchard. "It was obvious to him that had he not been riding by on his bike, no one would have heard her. She was very lucky."

Photo from TLC
Overall, I'm a big fan of TLC's What Not to Wear. I almost always agree with Stacy London and Clinton Kelly's choices for their guest's professional attire and "going out" wear.
However, they don't seem to be very in tune with how real moms live, particularly stay-at-home moms who spend most of their time with babies and children. Maybe someone needs to nominate Stacy and Clinton for a show called What Mom's Not to Wear (Because It's Dry Clean Only).
I truly believe What Not to Wear helps its guests feel better about themselves, shows them how to buy clothes that fit and flatter their figures, and gives them "permission" to buy a small lot of quality, well-fitting clothing. These lessons are particularly helpful for moms, who tend to put themselves on the back burner.
I also feel there's a way for moms to dress well, without always dressing in really pricey duds that require special cleaning. I'm a WAHM, and I know exactly which of my clothing items require dry cleaning. They're saved mostly for adult parties or outings when I know my husband can help with the hands-on (but even then, there are no guarantees). Even a simple outing with kids is going to mean shoe dust and cheese hands on your pants. If your outing involves juice boxes and the natural elements, then forget it.
All this to say, I totally loved CafeMom Gaia_Rain's journal response to the show: Stacy and Clinton - how WRONG you are. Gaia_Rain touches on many of the reasons a "real mom" with a baby in tow can't wear half of what Stacy and Clinton picked out recently in a "new mom makeover."
Gaia_Rain:"/Moms who breastfeed NEVER put on ANY piece of clothing without thinking, 'How easy is it for me to nurse in this?' Therefore, all the tops you picked out would be completely inappropriate for a nursing mom to wear. Unless they were a contortionist. And an exhibitionist."
This is so true, Gaia_Rain. I know when I was breastfeeding and pumping, there were also more "spills" than I care to count, so I would never have worn non-washable materials. Maybe to a wedding. But probably not even then.
Gaia_Rain:"/The mom asked if the tweed/wool pants were dry-clean only. You said that they were, but she could wear them a few times before she had to have them cleaned. In reality, Stacy and Clinton — babies poop. And spit. And projectile vomit. A lot. And, because of the laws of fate, you WILL be wearing the dry-clean only clothing when it happens. That is just how it is."
I have nothing to add. So...right...on...
Gaia_Rain:"/The "typical" mom spends her days at home, at Target/Walmart/Kmart, a park, the bank, the grocery store, the fast food restaurant, or helping out at a school. At least, that's how I spend the majority of my days. You're telling me that it's seriously NOT okay for me to wear yoga pants and a T-shirt to Target? Or how about when we "occasionally" go out to dinner? It's really more practical to wear fancy dry-clean only clothes than jeans and a sweatshirt? Seriously?"
I think the show tends to focus on what most of us consider "going to work" or "going out" wear, and Stacy and Clinton love to shame women for mentioning that "around the house" wear even exists. But, obviously, I'm not going to regularly wear a blazer to the park. I'm just not.
Gaia_Rain:"/The mom today kept saying that she liked her [old] clothes because they were comfortable. You banned that word from her vocabulary. What the hell for??? If I am going to feed, change, and burp an infant, or chase my four-year old around the park, or set up the slip-and-slide, or wander around the grocery store with three kids in tow, you're damn right I am going to be comfortable!!! I think you need to re-vamp the show for 'professional moms.'"
Agreed. Where What Not to Wear is really missing the mark, for me, is in showing truly great-looking casual wear. Let's face it, most of us live in casual attire in our daily lives and/or outside of the workplace, and I think we could all stand to take our casual wear up a notch (and no, that doesn't have to mean oodles of cash or uncomfortable clothes). THAT'S where we need their expertise, especially those of us who don't head into an office every day.
Stacy and Clinton need to focus on the casual because that's where most of us go wrong in terms of fit and style (you know, those T-shirts 3x your size...?). I'd much rather they talked their guests into great-looking, great-fitting jeans they can wear all the time, T-shirt cuts that flatter, and other casual options. I lovelovelove "the rules" Stacy and Clinton provide. But let's see how can we use them in our real lives!
What do you think Stacy and Clinton are doing right? Or wrong?

A pink bomber, need I say more?
Pastel colors are a major fashion trend this spring and I wanted to embrace this trend by adding this gorgeous pink bomber by Topshop to my wardrobe. Of course, bombers are a trend item that have been around for some time now, and it looks like it's going to stay around. You can style it with a pair of jeans, culottes or with a pencil skirt or a-line skirt, with pastel or crisp white sneakers or even heels for a more dressed up take on this trend.

I happen to think paper plate animals are incredibly cute!
You may remember that we made some sheep earlier ...
You can find the link here.
We also made a pig and cow to go with our sheep.
I didn't use any templates I just drew the shapes need by hand.
Note: When I first planned to do this activity I had some snack sized paper plates ready to use with regular sized ones but they were actually too big. I ended up finding some small paper plates just the right size in a Riot Art & Craft Store.

OK. Here's my list of favorite commercials during the Super Bowl 2010.
I already picked my favorite – the Denny's campaign. Well, just because it clicked, it was entertaining, and foremost, it made the brand name stick to my mind. And because it was a campaign of 3, it was all the more fun – somehow, unconsciously, I was waiting for those chickens to reappear.
Well, but some fared pretty well, while some were quite disappointing. Here were some of my other favorites, that could easily also have been the best Super Bowl commercial.
It's a mobile TV that's available on your mobile network for a small fee. The ad was really funny, and the insight – was perfect. Yes, I've definitely been in that situation. Haven't you?
Dodge Charger
Definitely one of the best. This one's been in a lot of controversy, simply because Chrysler's using tax-payer money to save the company. But, the ad was a killer. So many things a man's gotta go through… So we at least deserve a great, manly car. In a way, the insight is quite similar to Flo TV's. Great job, Wieden & Kennedy in Portland!
Believe it or not, the NFL did really well on their own NFL game. It was created by Grey New York, and with this slo-mo movement, captured really the essence, and the glorific moments of football. Truly inspiring.
No doubt, this was unexpected. Everything was done in-house at Google, and kudos to the creative director for putting together a wonderful piece using only Google's search. The scenario is simple, yet for some reason, seemed to resonate with many commercials at this year's Super Bowl. A guy meets a girl, falls in love, decides long-distance, but decides to fly up, then gets married, then, has a baby. Now that's pulling a lot of emotional strings – all with only text (and some sound effects). The only problem was that when I watched it live during the break, I missed what happened in the beginning – the text transitioned too fast and I got lost track trying to remember what was shown first, that in the end, all I knew was that it had something to do with Paris, France. Second time up (via YouTube), it became one of my favorite ads ever.
AnheuserBusch: BudLight
I was quite disappointed with AnheuserBusch overall, except this one. It really gave that AnheuserBusch moment, reminding me of the "wazuppppp" commercial years back.
This one had me confused in the beginning, and giving me the "aha" moment when a snickers bar will make a man a man again. Yeah, on my next soccer game, I'll be sure to give Snickers a try.
Honorable Mentions
Doritos: I would include Doritos' campaign, especially the dog collar and the locker room commercials. Well, I've watched both of them before the game, so it really didn't give a kick out of me, but my roommate certainly was laughing hard.
Audi: It was new. It created a real moment of "what on earth is going on?" It was all about how important being environmentally Green is. And in the end, it was about Audi's TDI – that it's so green it will pass even strictest of standards in a world where everything had to be environmentally friendly.
Dove: Dove did it again, yet this time, with a jingle about how a man becomes, well, a man – and deserves to use the Dove Men + Care bodywash. Well, since I already use this product, it clicked with me (I'm using that product!). On the downside, I've seen this somewhere…. somewhere…. Oh, perhaps the Cars.com intertwined with Dodge Charger with a pinch of Google's commercials?
Vizio: Lastly, but not least, I liked this spot because it featured all of the best social networking/online stars we could find, and a machine stuffed it up into the new Vizio HDTV. I loved how some YouTube stars were picked up by this machine, and simply was an entertainment in itself.
And Coca-Cola: Yes, I loved the "just got out of bed and need a refreshment" concept… But in my culture, drinking Coke waking out of bed is taboo – really bad for an empty, early morning stomach.
P.S. Oh, and a last, Honda, while it's commercial using Squirrels were mediocre… It did a great post-game job – It brought the Squirrel to YouTube's landing page. Now that's really smart. (I had a snapshot of it, but I lost it while writing this post. Sorry!)

Gamespot Score:n/a
My Score:7.5
(+)Pros: - Gorgeous anime-like graphics that fit the game very well, - Actually has an interesting lore and good story for a free to play MMORPG, - Flashy skill animations, impressive looking attacks and nasty looking bosses, - Great character designs and unique varying play styles for different characters, - Beautiful soundtrack, - Party questing is a blast.
(-)Cons: - Repeated visits to the same dungeons can make things pretty repetitive, - Takes awhile for the game scenery and pace to move on, - Story doesn't properly sync when using other characters that haven't been introduced in the story.
Gameplay time:-
So..."Rusty Hearts Reborn". It took me awhile to actually get into this game, due to my aspiring motto to not play any MMOs during the time that I actually decided to start on this game. If there was a term to describe "Rusty Hearts Reborn", it would be "anime-MMO", but when you think of anime theme MMO games, you think of stuff like "Fiesta", "Fly ff" and "Dragonica". Nope, "Rusty Hearts Reborn" isn't like that. Instead of the little cute chibi type characters this game some full blown character models that will completely please any player. If you want a more mature anime themed MMO, why not take a crack at "Rusty Hearts Reborn"?
MMOs have no story...is what I'd usually say. Surprisingly, this game actually has its own LEGITIMATE story! Yes, and I mean it. Unlike "Aion online" or "C9", which MADE efforts to make their story memorable, but failed, "Rusty Hearts"'s great story comes naturally through fully voiced cut scenes and energetic characters. The main character is Frantz, a vampire swordsman that travels with a young female witch known as Angela. Together they discover the town and decide to work together to find out more about how things came to be. There are a grand total of eight characters, but Frantz and Angela are the only ones introduced first, the rest come later in the story as the game progresses.
|Oh hell yes, the combat is pretty flashy.
So lets talk about my favorite part of the game first, its graphics. Anime themed MMOs usually don't impress me as their game graphics are usually so lame and cute, but in "Rusty Hearts Reborn", everything looks over the top sexy. The towns and environments not so, but the characters and monsters truly look good. Beautiful cel shaded graphics bring the game to life, and for a free MMO, this is definitely a steal. The second best thing is the fact that they actually created a good story. I thought of the possibilities before, but they could make "Rusty Hearts" into a full blown single player RPG! I'm sure it would be amazing!
"Reborn" is an expansion to the old "Rusty Hearts" (which I only got to level 3), and I guess there are some improvements here and there. Lets just take "Reborn" as my first true entry into the series. The game is an instance based MMO like "C9", but takes on a little more arcade side scrolling approach to how the dungeons are played. Its a little bit similar to another instance based MMO "Dungeon fighter online"(which has my country's IP banned, f**king Nexeon), but with some parts of a dungeon taking the traditional third person view.
|Roselle is, unfortunately, is a pay to play character.
As expected of a game with awesome anime-ish graphics, "Rusty Hearts Reborn" also has some beautiful skill animations. Be it Tude's evasive blows, Angela's enormous AOE magic that can instantly turn a group of enemies into stone, or firing a bullet through Natasha's magically enhanced crest symbol. All of these impressive looking attacks work together to make the game a complete visual flair when doing instances, especially when you take those flashy attacks and use them on a nasty looking boss, most of which look brutal. I never made it very far in terms of levels, but even some of the early bosses look great. Even better is that the game's soundtrack is pretty amazing, and hearing epic music while roaming the halls of an instance is always welcome. Oh and lets not forget skyping up with friends for a party quest, those are always good and hectic fun.
The game also have great character designs. As I said the game has a story, and these characters are so well made that you won't be forgetting them anytime soon. There are 8 playable characters, all of them look pretty unique and distinct on their own. My personal favorites are Frantz, Roselle, Natasha and Leila, in terms of character design. While some characters share the same combat styles, there are a total of 4 different styles to choose from. Frantz, Roselle and Leila use swords and axes. Angela and Edgar use unique weapons like glaives and scythes, while Meilin and Tude use primarly gauntlet type weapons. Natasha is the sole user of far ranged weapons, mostly guns (I am a Natasha player myself).
My gripes with this game are mostly the same as those in instance based MMOs. You will be visiting the same damn instances too often, and of course this will eventually lead up to repetition when you get to further and its harder to level up. It also takes awhile for the game to change scenery. Certain instances will make up an entire "area", and most of these instances in this "area" will love roughly the same. You will have to clear multiple instances to advance to the next "area" for a change in scenery, and well, that's not good. The final issue is that the story does not sync with the character you are using. This is understandable as the story is following Frantz and Angela, but it would have been way better if other characters would have their own story before they meet up with the group.
"Rusty Hearts Reborn" is fun, I won't doubt it. I'm very much someone who plays single player games so MMOs usually die out fast for me when I have something much more fun to play. If you're a fan of anime-MMOs, "Rusty Hearts Reborn" is worth checking out, especially since the graphics are so much better than those cutesy anime-MMOs. The lack of character customization MAY sting, but its understandable once you see how much effort they put into the character designs. Finally an MMO with a legitimate story! Lets see how other future MMOs take this into account.
Happy gaming!

With so many great virtual instrument bundles available, it can be hard to know where to invest your hard earned cash. We take a look at the most popular plugin collections available today..
Virtual instruments (or 'software synthesizers' or 'soft synths' for short) have been around for about 20 years. Long gone are the days when you needed to spend thousands of pounds on hardware that produced you sounds. With the advent of more powerful computing and continual virtual instrument R&D, we are now in a position where many studios do not own any hardware synthesizers at all. Hardware synths are great, but virtual instruments offer great value for money if you have a computer-based studio setup.

Postal service issues special Rosa Parks stamp
The U.S. Postal Service has issued a Rosa Parks stamp on what would have been the late civil rights icon's 100th birthday.
The Rosa Parks Forever Stamp went on sale Monday, and an oversized version was unveiled during the National Day of Courage celebration at The Henry Ford museum in Dearborn.
The stamp bears an artist's rendering of a 1950s-era photo of Parks.
Deputy Postmaster General Ronald Stroman described Parks as being "the epitome of courage."
Parks was arrested in 1955 for refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Ala., bus to a white man, an act that helped bring the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to prominence.
Stroman and others later took a seat on the Rosa Parks bus, which is on permanent display inside the museum.

Forget Captain America. I wanna see more movies about the adventures of that President.
First Commentary by Adam-Troy Castro
Captain America (1990). Directed by Albert Pyun. Written by Stephen Tolkin and Lawrence Block (yes, the famous mystery writer, Lawrence Block). From the character by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Starring Matt Salinger, Ronny Cox, Darren McGavin, Scott Paulin, and Ned Beatty. 97 minutes. 1/2 *.
Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). Directed by Joe Johnston. Written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeeley. From the character by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Starring Chris Evans, Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving, Hayley Atwell, Stanley Tucci. 124 minutes. ***
Other Notable Film Versions, Not Covered By Us: Captain America (very racist 1944 serial, pitting a barely-recognizable version of Cap against Japanese saboteurs); 3 Dev Adam, copyright-flouting 1973 Turkish film teaming a version of Cap with a version of the Mexican masked wrestler Santo, against a strangely villainous version of Spider-Man (we are not making this up); two TV-movies starring Reb Brown, Captain America and Captain America II: Death Too Soon (both 1979). The latter is the most notable directing credit of Ivan Nagy, who is really best known for his appearance in the documentary Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam, which paints him as the unheralded sinister force behind the scenes of that big tabloid story.
The greatest brainchild of the legendary pair of comic-book creators, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, was a scrawny but stout-hearted 4-F named Steve Rogers who received a super-soldier formula that turned him into that star-spangled sentinel of freedom known as Captain America. He fought Nazis in World War Two, and according to later Marvel lore suffered a span of decades in suspended animation. Revived, he battled a new generation of foes as a man out of time and a key member of that super-group known as the Avengers. Along the way he picked up an arch-enemy, the Red Skull, who had been personally chosen by Adolf Hitler himself to embody the terror of the Third Reich…and who also survived the years unchanged, to become one of the most persistent super-villains in comic book history.
There have been a number of versions, from an 1940s serial that bore little but name in common with the Simon and Kirby creation, to a pair of bland TV movies that are largely remembered today because the second of the pair was directed by a guy who seemed to have had a Svengali relationship with the Hollywood Madam, but we direct our attention to the two most recent: one of which was so bad in every respect that it qualifies as one of the worst superhero movies of all time, and the recent big-budget release, which is no total masterpiece but nevertheless does as well with the character as any film could reasonably have been expected to.
Both movies jigger the origins of Cap and his numero-uno bad guy, in a way the comics never did, by establishing that they were created by the same scientist, who in fact creates Cap in large part to atone for the primal sin of having previously created the Red Skull. (This is not the pravda of the comics. There, the Red Skull is a lowly bellboy singled out by Hitler as proof that the right training can turn even that nonentity into the most dangerous man in the Reich. And, ummm, a communist imposter pretending to be him killed Peter Parker's parents, thus making him an important figure in Spider-Man's life as well.)
Both movies feature an origin scene for Cap that plays the same notes to significantly different effect; and both duplicate a fiery crash into Arctic ice that preserves the Captain until he can revived in our time.
But the movies are otherwise quite different, in that one is a film of almost jaw-dropping ineptitude that wastes the skills of every actor involved in it, and the other does what it does well and is expected to achieve blockbuster status. It's instructive, in light of the latter's success, to see how outrageously one can fail.
Captain America (1990): Before The Ice
There's no way to get around this. This is not just a dud. This is not just a disaster. This is a film made by people who a) didn't care; b) didn't understand; c) didn't seem interested in whether we could see their entire lack of interest in the enterprise; and d) screwed up even on the minimal level of their ambitions. It is likely the worst-made film we have ever reviewed on this blog, and, remember, we reviewed the awful third versions of House Of Wax and Night Of The Living Dead. Both of those atrocities were masterpieces next to this thing. We are serious.
The relatively low budget ($10 million in 1990 dollars) is no excuse. The movie had some genuine assets to waste. Among them were some first-rate character actors, including Melinda Dillon, Ronny Cox, Ned Beatty, and Darren McGavin. It had foreign and domestic locations, a marvelous old castle to stage the climax, and a legendary character; it was never gonna be spectacular, but any halfway fun screenplay and talented director could have made it an effective b-movie. Instead, every shot is either pedestrian or ugly, every set piece is unimaginative or addlepated, every plot twist is either a lame take on the four-color originals or a stupid innovation. And while many of the supporting players stand out, doing their best to elevate what must have seemed a sinking ship from day one, the leads are colorless and charisma-deprived.
There is an early sign of trouble in the first scenes, depicting the origin of the Red Skull, who is in this version not a crazed Nazi working for Hitler, but a crazed Italian who begins his career working for Mussolini. Now, this may have been tone-deafness to the mythos on the part of the filmmakers, but could also have been a requirement of international distribution; this writer contributed four novels to a book packager producing works based on Marvel characters and must report that, even then, using the word "Nazi" or mentioning Hitler in any book of the line was considered a no-no. It doesn't matter. Only fans of the character as he appeared in the comics could have blown a gasket over the mere concept of an Italian Red Skull, had the story worked otherwise. But still, it's a warning sign.
In any event, the Italian Red Skull begins life as an innocent kid who is, for reasons never satisfactorily explained, judged by the powers behind the Axis secret-soldier project to be the only person brilliant enough to merit the injection that will turn him into the desired ubermensch. So fascist soldiers break into his home, slaughter everybody, and drag him back to the castle where the brilliant Dr. Vaselli objects mightily to the super-soldier experiment being performed on a kid. So the last thing we hear is the kid screaming in agony as the potion works through his veins. None of this at all necessary, really, since nothing that ever happens in the film requires the Red Skull to be a paragon of physical fitness. True, he's gonna trade blows with Captain America in an early scene, and win, but for all we see that's no proof that he ever did anything but spend a lot of time in the gym.
We segue to the Rogers family home in California, where Steve is an adult survivor of childhood polio whose main infirmity is a limp that comes and goes, depending on how distracted Matt Salinger, son of author J.D., is in any particular scene.
Salinger, who couldn't have picked a better role if his goal was to avoid the spotlight as much as his famous but reclusive Dad, is here a thespian of the Lee Majors / Gil Gerard school, except without their levels of conviction and presence. (He still has a career, and has worked steadily, but this film was as close as he ever came to stardom.) We get a scene where he's headed off to the experiment that will turn him into Captain America, where he says goodbye to a family that seems to know exactly where he's going and why. Way to keep the secret, Sparky.
In the closest this film comes to direct congruence with the blockbuster 2011 remake, the secret lab of Dr. Vaselli is hidden beneath a diner. (In the 2011 film, it's an antiques shoppe.) The lady behind the counter grips a hidden handgun while exchanging pass codes with Steve's escort, then lets the pair through. A bunch of military and government observers, including a pointedly referenced Senator Kirby (ha, ha), watch as Steve gets his injection. Then one of them turns out to be a Nazi assassin, killing Vaselli and ensuring that there will be no platoons of Captains America.
Freed of his limp, but shot by the bad guy, Steve goes to the hospital, where he is still enjoying bed rest when his military handlers show up to tell his doctor that he is needed on a mission of vital importance to stop the Red Skull's missile aimed at Washington D.C. They actually say this. This seems excessive information to tell a mere sawbones, who would have worked on Steve anyway, but they say it in the hallway well within Steve's hearing, thus motivating him to hop out of bed and say, I'm ready. So that's all it took. Patton should have used that strategy while visiting the wounded in Sicily. He wouldn't have had to slap anybody.
We are only a few minutes into the movie at this point and the dumbnesses are multiplying. The secret mission that only Captain America can perform turns out to be a raid on a Red Skull facility. Our guys know exactly where that facility is. There's no evident reason why they can't just, you know, bomb the shit out of it, since he has to parachute in anyway. Or if they need ground-level saboteurs, why they can't parachute in a platoon or two with him. No. It must be this guy who they parachute in after what is carefully specified to be only 48 hours of training, and it has to be him alone. The Pentagon is certainly putting all its eggs in one basket.
A word about his Captain America costume. It's seems to be a wet suit that somebody altered with a pair of scissors. The hasty handiwork is easiest to spot in close-ups of the eye holes, which are ragged and uneven. The A on his chest appears to be a completely different material, sewn on. This is, we're told, a flameproof suit that is another of Dr. Vaselli's one of a kind inventions. The late doctor was a lousy seamstress. It doesn't matter much, as Cap will not be wearing it for long.
In any event, Cap invades the Red Skull's stronghold and, after defeating a few henchmen just to demonstrate that he's not a total loser, is himself defeated by the Skull (Paulin). The Red Skull as we see him here looks like the comic-book Red Skull for the only time in the film; get used to it, that mug is going away.
A word about super-villainous ranting. Any super-villain is going to spend some of his time ranting maniacally about how the hero doesn't have a chance, bwah-ha-ha. That is part of the super-villain's job. But in this movie, when the Red Skull looks at the defeated Captain America and says, I paraphrase here, "gee, you're really not very good at this, are you? Are you really the best America could come up with?" it is easy to sympathize with him. Seriously. This Captain America lasts less than two minutes against the Red Skull. He's not very good. The Skull almost seems disappointed. To his point of view, it likely seems silly to have gone to all this trouble getting a super-villain base, an ultimate weapon, a legion of followers, and a skull face, if this putz was all he was ever going to have to deal with at the end of it. You almost feel empathy for the chagrin he feels after all that wasted effort.
Anyway, the Skull ties Cap to the rocket about to be fired at DC. There are a couple of views of Cap bound to the rocket; in one view, his famous round shield appears to be strapped there with him, and in another it's clearly absent. It is certainly not being worn on his arm. Remember that. In a touch that the engineers at NASA must surely appreciate, the Red Skull stands right next to his transatlantic rocket aimed at the White House, during the final fifteen second countdown; he doesn't seem to be at all worried about being burned, let alone vaporized. Cap grabs him by the wrist, declaring that if he's gonna go for a ride, the Skull is, too; whereupon the Skull whips out a knife and cuts off his own hand so he can escape. Why he doesn't just cut off Captain America's hand, which would accomplish the same result at considerably less pain to himself, is never satisfactorily explained. But hey, he's a super-villain. He doesn't have to make sense.
The rocket takes off. We cut to DC, where it's still night despite the time zone difference between the East Coast of America and the night scenes taking place in Italy. A little boy named Thomas Kimball, visiting DC with his family, declares that he's gonna be President someday. Shushed, he sneaks out in his Pajamas to take a night photo of the White House, just as the rocket bearing Captain America heads for the big impact. He snaps a photo just before Cap, somehow still alive after a transatlantic journey exposed to high altitude, belatedly deflects the rocket. The photo the little urchin snaps is a clear picture of Cap, mask and all.
It will later be established that despite the rocket's great speed, Cap will be able to remember the little boy who took his picture. At night. While the rocket went past. While he was busy trying to save the White House. That Cap never misses a trick, unless it's like, you know, defeating the Red Skull.
We cannot stress this enough. This is a superhero who screws up his first and only mission.
And we're still only a few minutes into the movie. The dumbness is that dense with detail. We haven't even mentioned the film's happy habit of showing us establishing shots of the White House with the helpful subtitle, Washington D.C. Thanks a lot. The movie does this so often it could power a drinking game. Another time it shows us a shot of the Vatican and informs us, Rome. Thank you.
So. The rocket overshoots the White House and crashes in Alaska. Whew, that was close. It's either all or nothing with that rocket. No Mama Grizzlies peer out their windows and exclaim, "I can see the Red Skull's ultimate weapon from my house!" Either way, the rocket doesn't explode but it does put Cap on ice for a few decades. And so we get that hack movie's traditional method of depicting the passage of time, a series of decades flying past (literally, the numbers, 1960, 1970, and so on), interspersed with newspaper headlines establishing major world events and key passages in the life of that little boy, Thomas Kimball, as he rises toward his election as President in 1992. (Yes, he's Bill Clinton.) The newspapers, a local rag from Tommy's home town of Springfield, demonstrate the shockingly low standard of journalism in his community; not only does one headline misspell his town as "Sprinfield", sans g, but a closer look at the stories about our hometown boy reveal that several of them, possibly all of them, have lead grafs that establish them as actually stories about a local woman in trouble over a matter of child custody. I mean, this movie actually contrives to suck in ways that few other movies have even imagined.
Finally, we arrive at 1993, and President Clinton – er, Kimball, now played by Ronny Cox and working on an environmental initiative that one of his Generals, Darren McGavin, doesn't like. And we're in the hell where the rest of this interminable movie takes place.
Captain America (1990): After The Ice
We are not even half an hour into the film now, so unless we want to be here all day we must accelerate and just try to hit some of the low points.
The Red Skull is now the leader of an evil international consortium that was directly responsible for, among other things, the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King. Having had some plastic surgery, he no longer looks like the Red Skull, though he needn't have bothered, since everybody still calls him that, and he still has scars and whatnot all over his face. His current plan, prompted from complaints by by his ally General Kolchak, is to kidnap the President and implant a mind-control device that will keep him from proposing any more environmental initiatives. This plan, unlikely as it is, would go a long way toward explaining away our current President's crappy record of capitulation to his opponents in the House and Senate.
Captain America is unearthed in Alaska. He pops up out of the ice with the shield already slung on one arm – a complete contradiction to where it was when he was frozen – and rushes out into the wilderness.
President Kimball remembers the man strapped to a rocket from his childhood – and a nigh-universal childhood experience it is – and decides to send somebody to investigate. Of course, in this world, the President of the United States has no resources useful for investigating strange events, no FBI, no Secret Service, no CIA, no NSA, so he calls a friend of his, Sam Kolawetz, a newspaper reporter played by Ned Beatty. The Red Skull, who also hears about it, scours his vast international conspiracy for useful assassins and sends his daughter. Everybody, it seems, operates on the same budget as the film itself.
Now, get this. Captain America, who was found in a frozen wasteland in Alaska, is next seen racing through more congenial climes in Northwest Canada, still wearing the same uniform. He's jogged a few hundred miles.
Piloting attack helicopters and snowmobiles, the Red Skull's assassins show up to kill him at what is conveniently the very same moment Ned Beatty comes tooling around the corner in his rent-a-car. These people have a wonderful knack of converging in an area the size of a Canadian province, within thirty seconds of one another. Cap is rescued by Kolawetz, who pulls up and shouts, "Get in!" – an act that itself establishes how lame this version of Cap is, since you've got to be a lame superhero indeed to actually need to be rescued by Ned Beatty. In Superman's case it required Valerie Perrine. But we'll let that pass, and note an even greater manifestation of heroic inadequacy. To wit, Cap is rendered suspicious by Beatty's Japanese tape recorder and German car, and thus to escape this guy who looks like Ned Beatty pretends that he's car sick and asks his "captor" to pull over. Beatty obliges, at at which point Cap jumps behind the wheel and drives away.
Yes, this peak of human perfection requires subterfuge to escape from Ned Beatty. Batman wouldn't have needed subterfuge to escape from Ned Beatty. Hell, Robin the Boy Wonder wouldn't have needed subterfuge to escape from Ned Beatty. They would have just beaten up the guy. Hell, Stephen Hawking might not require subterfuge to escape from Ned Beatty. This film's Captain America requires the lamest of all possible subterfuges to escape from Ned Beatty. One can only imagine how he would have handled a fight with one of the comic book's many martial-artist, let alone super-powered, sparring partners: pretend even harder?
It gets better. The action moves to California, where in the course of tracking down his old girlfriend Bernie – who's now literally an old girlfriend, ha-ha – Cap discards his costume for what will be most of the remainder of the film. Until the climax, he will have most of his remaining dull adventures as Steve Rogers.
Assassins sent by the Red Skull kill Bernie, and Ned Beatty, who though left on foot in the Canadian Northwest has still managed to return to the US and track Steve down (thus proving, again, that this Cap is a superhero who can't even stay ahead of Ned Beatty).
Steve sees a TV report that the President of the United States has been kidnapped from a European hotel after an attack by twenty heavily-armed men. Nobody comments on the unlikelihood of even twenty heavily-armed men being able to kidnap the President, or suggests that if a movie is going to require this scenario it should damn well show it to us. But Steve somehow knows, without any evidence whatsoever, that the gang that pulled off this miracle is the very same gang that has been sending assassins after him. He just knows. It's like knowing one gang of swarthy guys was responsible for a major terrorist strike when in fact there are several gangs of swarthy guys who could have done it. This is how we got fooled into invading Iraq. But Cap, or rather Steve, knows the correct culprits for a certainty, just based on the news report.
There's a major bit of stupidity involving the search for Dr. Vaselli's diary, which is conveniently exactly where she left it when the top-secret government lab was shut down. One would have expected the Feds to clean up that kind of thing. But we move on.
Captain America (1990): The Big Action Climax
The action shifts to Europe. Steve and his old girlfriend's daughter Sharon take a commercial flight, which is a truly impressive trick considering that Steve has been on ice for fifty years and has no passport or ID.
Sharon rents a car and they drive around for a bit. Steve needs to get away from Sharon to keep from dragging her into danger, so he pretends car sickness and asks her to pull over. It is exactly the same trick he pulled on Ned Beatty. This is in short a superhero who not once but twice escapes somebody by pretending that he has to vomit. It is, by the standards of this movie, his superpower: pretending that he has to vomit. (Only a churl would suggest that it is a trick many members of the audience are currently duplicating.) The gambit is even more ineffective this time than it was the first. Ned Beatty caught up with him a continent away. Sharon catches up with him after only a few blocks.
There is some more action, all of it embarrassing. There is a car chase that splatters the requisite fruit cart. Gene and Roger must be so proud.
But rather than elucidate everything awful that goes on, which includes among things the revelation that Steve Rogers is so ineffective an action hero that he cannot even ride a stolen bicycle without plunging it into the harbor, we'll just skip to the climax. At this point there's maybe fifteen minutes left in the film, and your titular superhero has not done anything effective since he became America's first best hope against the Nazis. He has in fact been in civvies, blundering around Europe, for a third of the film.
Sharon has been captured by the Red Skull's goons and locked in a cell directly below the President's, though a convenient hole in the floor enables the two to see each other. (They still don't have a chance for a substantive conversation, which is important.) With twenty minutes to go until the serum in his bloodstream enables the Red Skull's minions to perform the further operation that can turn him into their mind-controlled puppet, the President of the United States makes his move. He has, you see, managed to snatch a vial of acid from a tabletop right under the Red Skull's nose (which, being the Red Skull, is a nose he shouldn't even have, but we move on).
Burning through the bars and breaking out, the Prez tells Sharon, who has just been locked in the cell directly underneath his, that he will bring back help, and splits. Cornered on a parapet, he leaps over the side rather than allow himself to be captured, and is improbably snatched to safety by Cap, who is climbing the outer wall. It is a awfully convenient for Cap's heroic reputation that the Prez picked that precise spot for his suicide attempt.
Now Cap and the Prez compare notes. Why, you're that guy who was strapped to that rocket all those years ago! And that must mean you're that little boy! Cap enthuses, "Gee whiz!" (He actually says Gee Whiz, which we cannot complain about, as it's entirely in character for even the most soberly-written versions of Captain America.) The President further advises Cap that "They've got Sharon," which is odd, since there doesn't seem to be any way for him to know that Cap knows Sharon. But continuity is a bitch, right?
So it's time for the big fight against the Red Skull and his minions, during which – this cannot be stressed enough – the President of the United States displays a lot more derring-do than the titular hero. The Prez runs around decking goons, among them that traitorous General Kolchak. He gets wounded by enemy fire and still rises to fight some more. He is one tough President of the United States, even by the standards of an era that would a few short years later give us Air Force One and Independence Day. It is indeed far more enjoyable to watch him than it is to watch Cap, as Ronny Cox gives the hopeless role his all and Matt Salinger just seems to wish he'd disappear into his mutilated wet suit.
The Skull repeats the point that he made forty some-odd years earlier: that this Captain America really isn't all that much. And again, he absolutely has a point. Herr, excuse me, Signore Skull got himself all red-skulled and everything, and all he gets is a loser in a wetsuit.
Anyway, it finally comes down to Cap's desperate last-minute attempt to prevent the Red Skull from setting off the nuclear bomb in the Grand Piano. Yes, the Red Skull has a nuclear bomb in his Grand Piano. This makes even less sense than the Grand Piano's location, atop the castle's wall. Yes, the Red Skull has a Grand Piano with a nuclear bomb in it, exposed to the elements, atop the Castle wall. It's a nicely maintained Grand Piano too, which looks like somebody's been taking care of it, or more accurately that the prop people put it there sometime since the last storm. It may be the silliest place for a nuclear bomb in the history of film, if you don't count the time one was inside Woody Allen. But fortunately, Cap is able to knock our lunatic Liberace over the edge to his death, an act that somehow also stops the bomb from ticking down to zero. There's one colossal close-up of our hero's face, which we're evidently supposed to cheer, and the credits come up.
The makers of this Captain America were the then-prolific Golan-Globus company, who bragged about it beforehand but somehow recognized it as the turd it was, and put it on a shelf for two years, where it languished until a stealth release on home video. It is notorious among superhero fans, but remained virtually unknown to the general public, much like Matt Salinger. Cap fans who wanted a big cinematic experience for their hero would have to wait 21 years.
Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
Times have changed. Superheroes are no longer some niche genre, to be relegated to poverty-row budget films made by people so embarrassed by what they were doing that they worked up excuses to have their long-underwear characters perform most of the film's action in civvies. They were indeed, to an unfortunate degree, the linchpin of the movie industry. Budgets are poured into them. The movies are frequently if anything too big, in that sometimes they don't even slow down enough to provide the emotional moments.
In the context we've provided, there's very little reason to go on an extreme length explaining just how much the current Captain America film gets right. We will note the closest thing it comes to being a straight remake, the scene involving a retail establishment that hides the entry to the secret lab. The scene still provides us with a sign, a countersign, and an agent behind the counter who keeps her hand on a weapon until she is sure that the visit is authorized.
We will also note that by setting almost all of the action in the 1940s and investing the proceedings with such an evocative sense of period, it accentuates just what makes this particular character unique in the first place. For instance, it gives us a Steve Rogers who clearly has a hero waiting inside him while he's still a ninety-pound weakling. He is principled, courageous, and – as established with one hilarious scene involving a flagpole – a problem-solver. He is not just a charisma-deprived dufus, chosen at random. He is a remarkable person, interesting even before he is injected with the power juice.
There's a terrific character arc involving his relationship to Dr. Erskine (Stanley Tucci), here as in the comics the guy responsible for the serum who turns him into Captain America; Tommy Lee Jones performing a role he could perform in his sleep, but performing it well; the Howling Commandos, another set of Marvel heroes who here go unnamed but are very important to the action; dialogue that at one point puckishly establishes the events of Raiders Of The Lost Ark as backstory; an appearance by the original Human Torch for people who look really fast; well-staged action scenes (if a few too many of them); and a nice sinister performance by Hugo Weaving, who was able to project a personality beyond a static mask in V For Vendetta and therefore has little difficulty performing while Red-Skulled. Fans of the Marvel franchise films are provided geeky joy by the film's connections to Thor, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk,and finally next summer's The Avengers. There's a better costume, a fine period song by Alan Menken, and some smart humor.
All of which is well and good, and certainly worth praise. We would spend more time on that praise, but somehow suspect that it doesn't need to be sold any more by us than it's being sold by word of mouth right now. We just need to point out its most important attribute.
Whatever else it is…it sure ain't the 1990 version.
And now the wife leaps through mortar fire, seizes the American flag, and charges the Red Skull's goons.
Second commentary by Judi B. Castro
Captain America (1990). Directed by Albert Pyun. Written by Stephen Tolkin and Lawrence Block (yes, the famous mystery writer, Lawrence Block). From the character by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Starring Matt Salinger, Ronny Cox, Darren McGavin, Scott Paulin, and Ned Beatty. 97 minutes. 1/2 *.
Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). Directed by Joe Johnston. Written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeeley. From the character by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Starring Chris Evans, Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving, Hayley Atwell, Stanley Tucci. 124 minutes. ***1/2
Other Notable Film Versions, Not Covered By Us: Captain America (very racist 1944 serial, pitting a barely-recognizable version of Cap against Japanese saboteurs); 3 Dev Adam, copyright-flouting 1973 Turkish film teaming a version of Cap with a version of the Mexican masked wrestler Santo, against a strangely villainous version of Spider-Man (we are not making this up); two TV-movies starring Reb Brown, Captain America and Captain America II: Death Too Soon (both 1979). The latter is the most notable directing credit of Ivan Nagy, who is really best known for his appearance in the documentary Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam, which paints him as the unheralded sinister force behind the scenes of that big tabloid story.
What was I doing in 1990 that made me fondly remember this turkey of a movie? Was I so starved for comic book action fare to believe I was seeing a good film? I can't blame my memories on either age or youth, so I must have been just plain stupid(or well into a weekend).
This Captain America is poorly written, poorly directed, poorly filmed and sin of all sins, barely reminiscent of Cap at all.
Now, admittedly, I never really put Cap into the superpowers category of heroes. He was more of a steroidal footballer than a superman. He never had amazing powers, but had kinda Buffy-like amped up systems and healing. And man, what a goody goody. He and Supes could have an aww-shucks contest and call it a draw. Is that a super soldier? I do like the fish out of water Captain Steve Rogers much more than the packing firepower adapt to anything one that has been around lately.
Which brings me to the newest Captain America film. (Note I say film here and not movie!) This was a fun time. Sure, a whole heap of time is spent introducing weak gawky Steve, but I felt it time well spent if a franchise is to be born out of these seeds. And, the last third did feel a bit compacted, but not to the detriment of the story.
This new version utilizes technology without abusing it. I didn't see the 3-D version, but that didn't interfere with the enjoyment of the shots. So, when Cap throws his shield, yes, evildoers must yield! The storyline was coherent and the few flaws I found were just a comic geek nitpicking the inevitable changes for the series.
All in all Captain America (2011) a major good time!
Captain America (1990) a good party game, but a lousy film.

"Avatar" won for best action movie as well as a handful of technical awards, while the "Basterds" cast won for best ensemble, screenplay and best supporting actor, the Associated Press reported.
U.S. & World
"The Hurt Locker" director-producer Kathryn Bigelow won for best director, who thanked soldiers in Iraq during her acceptance speech.
Jeff Bridges also picked up honors for his turn in "Crazy Heart," winning the prize for Best Actor. Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock tied for Best Actress honors, Streep winning for "Julie & Julia" and Bullock for "The Blind Side."

Graduate Council Meeting
April 23, 2007
I. The meeting was called to order at 2:35 p.m.
Voting members and alternates present were: G. Bernhardt, A. Chamberlain, R. Dodge, J. Dombrowski, N. Klingbeil, P. Martin, S. Nelson, J. Petrick, T. Rafferty, L. Ream, J. Rudisill, C. Ryan, V. Shalin, J. Sherman, T. Sudkamp, C. Sulentic, J. Thomas (Chair), P. Vermeersch, D. Voss
Non-voting alternates and other attendees were: B. Gray, M. Hogue, D. Ketcha, J. Kimble, G. Malicki, W. Sellers, R. Wantz
II. Approval of Minutes
It was moved and seconded that the minutes of the January 29, 2007 meeting be approved as written. Motion carried unanimously.
III. Report of the Dean (J. Thomas)
Graduate enrollment headcount for spring 2007 increased by 5 students (0.2%) over spring 2006, and by 223 students (7.2%) over five years. Total student credit hours for spring 2007 had a significant increase of 783 (3.3%) over spring 2006, or 5464 (28.2%) over five years.
The recent Graduate Open House had about 350 in attendance. Of those attendees, about 185 applied at that time and had the application fee waived.
J. Thomas introduced Jason Champagne, Associate Director of Graduate Recruitment. Jason came to Wright State in January and is located in the School of Graduate Studies in the Student Union. His first large function was the successful Graduate Open House on April 11.
The National Research Council (NRC) Survey of Research Doctoral Programs, implemented about every decade is nearing of its data collection phase. Two hundred institutions were involved. The Survey provides important visibility and is important for program evaluation. Four of Wright State's doctoral programs and 116 program faculty participated. This represented a participation rate of 100% for programs and 91% for faculty responses, which is above the national average. Those participating in this effort are to be commended.
At the Regents' Advisory Committee on Graduate Studies meeting on February 2, 2007, the Master of Information Systems (MIS) passed by a 13-0 vote. No problems are anticipated when this goes before the full Board for approval on April 25.
New members for Graduate Council and the various committees for 2007-2008 need to be considered. A letter concerning these committees will go out in about a week.
Graduate Student Excellence nominations are due this Friday, April 27, 2007. This deadline is set due to needing time to have specifics about each recipient printed in the program. The Awards Ceremony and Reception will be May 23, 2007 at 5:00 p.m. in the Student Union Formal Lounge.
We were notified by ETS that launching a revised GRE General Test has been put on hold due to concerns about timely access being available for all students worldwide. The current testing process will be in place until June 2008 while ETS and the GRE Board consider future improvements that will not impair access.
J. Thomas expressed his thanks to Graduate Council members and Committee members for a great year.
IV. Committee Reports
* Policies Committee (L. Ream)
The Committee met April 10 and April 17, 2007 and discussed and acted upon the following issues:
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is a doctoral-level, post-master's degree program, which will be offered online to cohort groups in conjunction with the University of Toledo. The DNP program will initially be a part-time program, with a full-time cohort option being available in about two years. 54 quarter hours (WSU) or 36 semester hours (UT) will be required for completion. The initial cohort expectation is about 20 students – 10 WSU and 10 UT - with tuition being the same for all. The capstone requirement for the DNP program will be a practice-oriented dissertation.
A motion to approve the DNP was made and seconded. It was approved unanimously. This will go before Faculty Senate in May, the Board of Trustees on June 8, then to a statewide review with presentation to RACGS next fall.
Also discussed was a Program Development Plan (PDP) for an MS in Leadership Development proposed by CEHS. This post-baccalaureate degree program will integrate the principles of individual-based leader development with the conception of leadership development focused on processes that build the capacity of groups; therefore, integrating the principles of individual leader development within the larger social framework of leadership development. CEHS states that the International Leadership Association is giving guidelines for such programs and, if approved, Wright State's would be a model program. This program will be offered as a thesis or non-thesis track MS, with a 45 quarter credit hour requirement for completion. In considering this program, the authors tried to avoid overlap with the MBA program. The proposed program was reviewed by both Colleges, and no concerns were voiced. A motion was made to approve and was seconded. It was unanimously approved.
RACGS will review this MS in Leadership Development PDP and suggest ways to improve it. A full proposal is to be expected for the fall Graduate Council meeting.
* Membership Committee (J. Petrick)
The Committee met April 17, 2007 and considered and recommended 4 nominations for full graduate faculty status and 11 nominations for adjunct full graduate faculty status.
The full member nominees are:
Christopher Barton EES/CoSM
Thomas Rooney BioSci/CoSM
Amit Sheth CS&E/EGR&CS
Christopher Wyatt NCBP/CoSM
The adjunct full nominees are:
Dennis Darby ESPhD/CoSM
Rodney DeKoter ESPhD/CoSM
Nancy Elder Psy/CoSM
Mohsin Jamali EE&CS/University of Toledo
Allan Jamieson CS&E/EGR&CS
Guoqi Liu BMB/SoM & CoSM
W. Todd Nelson Psy/CoSM
Robert O'Donnell Psy/CoSM
Ruth Pachter CS&E/EGR&CS
Vincent Schmidt CS&E/EGR&CS
Janet Sutton Psy/CoSM
It was moved and seconded that the nominees be approved; the motion passed unanimously.
* Student Affairs Committee (B. Gray)
The Student Affairs Committee met on February 21, 2007 to interview candidates for the Ohio Board of Regents Graduate and Professional Fellowship Program. This $3500 scholarship is designed for students planning to attend a graduate or professional program in Ohio. The committee selected the first place student and runner up following the interviews. The names were forwarded to the Dean, School of Graduate Studies, for submission to the Ohio Board of Regents, with the expectation that only the first place student will receive an award. The first place student plans to attend Wright State University to pursue a master's degree in Middle Childhood Education.
We have received 8-9 applications for the Wright State University Graduate Council Scholarships. These scholars receive a stipend of at least $12,000 plus full tuition and can be extended for two years. Thus far, four offers have been made through the accelerated process; three were accepted and one declined. One additional offer is under discussion. The Graduate Student Affairs Committee will meet on May 10 to discuss the remaining applications. It is expected that six to seven new offers will be awarded along with four scholarships from last year being extended.
* Research Committee (W. Sellers)
While total external funding is ahead of last year, funding for research is lagging a little behind the award amount Wright State received last year.
For the Research Council Research Incentive Program, 14 proposals for Research Initiation were received, with 7 being awarded (for a total of $70,000). Eight Professional Development awards were given of the 19 proposed (for a total of $24,000). Research Initiation is more competitive due to the amount of monies involved.
Wright State University ranked fourth in the new Ohio Technology Commercialization statewide competition, based in large part on strong research funding from Ohio industry.
V. Old Business
A proposal to revise the 12 credit hour limitation on master's degree transfer credit had been tabled at the January 29 Graduate Council meeting for further discussion in the colleges. The proposal has been further discussed by the Policies Committee with new input and a revised proposal was distributed with the Agenda for this meeting. It was moved and seconded and unanimously approved to remove the proposal from the table. The revised proposal states that the amount of transfer credit cannot exceed 12 credit hours except that a student who has, or is the spouse or dependent child of an individual who has, moved to the Dayton region within the past year to accept full-time, self-sustaining employment, and who had been an active degree candidate at an institution near the previous location, may petition to transfer up to one-half the total number of credits required for the Wright State degree earned from the institution at which they were most recently enrolled as a degree candidate (changes from January 29 underlined). Such transfer credit is subject to all other requirements of the Transfer Credit Policy, and the petition that is required to transfer more than 12 quarter credit hours is to ensure that more than one person is involved in approving the transfer of credit hours to a Wright State graduate program. J. Thomas had communicated with Regents' staff and was informed that there is no state level provision to prohibit such a policy and there is, in fact, precedent for accommodating large employers. Following brief discussion, this policy revision was moved and seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
VI. Adjournment
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 3:15 p.m.
