  • Sparrow Records Discography
    Sparrow Discography by Mike Callahan, David Edwards & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan Sparrow Records Discography Sparrow is a Contemporary Christian label founded in 1976 by Billy Ray Hearn. Hearn was the A&R Director for Word Records’ Myrrh label, founded a few years earlier also as a Contemporary Christian label. Sparrow also released records under their Birdwing subsidiary. Hearn’s Sparrow label was in competition with Hearn’s old boss, Word Records, and was quite successful. Even today, Sparrow is among the top Christian labels. Hearn sold the label to EMI in 1992, and it was placed under the Capitol Christian Music Group. Sparrow signed a distribution agreement with MCA in April, 1981 to release their product in the secular market while the regular Sparrow issues were distributed to Christian stores and Christian radio stations. The arrangement with MCA lasted until October, 1986, when Sparrow switched distribution to Capitol.

  • Indiana Youth Gambling Behavior 2016
    Indiana Youth Gambling Behavior Findings from the Indiana Prevention Resource Center, Annual Survey 2016 Introduction The following report contains data on adolescent gambling behavior reported by adolescents through the Annual Survey of Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Use by Indiana Children and Adolescents, conducted by the Indiana Prevention Resource Center at Indiana University Bloomington. This survey is a self-report instrument for students in grades six through twelve. The survey is undertaken annually by the Indiana Prevention Resource Center and is used by state agencies, counties, schools and communities in Indiana to monitor the incidence and prevalence of adolescent problem behaviors and the environmental factors that put children at risk or protect them from developing those behaviors. As gambling options and venues in the state expand, monitoring the prevalence of gambling activities among children and adolescents is increasingly important for planning prevention efforts. All gambling- related questions asked about behavior and experiences in the past year. The Indiana Youth Survey included questions about playing cards, betting on games, betting on sports, buying lottery tickets, gambling in a casino, and playing online for money. Gambling Behavior The gambling section now contains a brief explanatory introduction, which reads: “Gambling is playing a game in an attempt to win money (any amount) or something of value (like a video game, bike, iPod). You could gamble on a game or an event. Gambling means you don’t know if you will win or lose.” The first question asked: “During the past 12 months, how often have you bet/ gambled for money or valuables in the following ways? Gambling can be done in a variety of settings, including with family and friends.” The forms of gambling that were referred to in the survey are indicated in Table 19.

  • Illegal Gambling Faqs the Gaming Control Division
    Illegal Gambling FAQs The Gaming Control Division investigates illegal gambling in Indiana. Below are some of the Frequently Asked Questions posed to our Officers. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to ask. You can email via the “Contact Us” tab on our website or call 317-233- 0046. 1. What are the laws that make gambling illegal? Illegal gambling laws may be found in Indiana Code 35-45-5. 2. How do I provide information on illegal gambling? The Gaming Control Division keeps sources of all information and tips confidential. To help us reduce illegal gambling in Indiana, please call 1-(866) 610-TIPS (8477) or utilize the “Contact Us” tab on our website. 3. What is the definition of gambling? "Gambling" means risking money or other property for gain, contingent in whole or in part upon lot, chance, or the operation of a gambling device. If one of these elements of the gambling definition is removed, then the activity is legal. 4. Are card games, such as poker, games of chance? Yes. The illegal gambling statute specifically provides that “a card game or an electronic version of a card game is a game of chance and may not be considered a bona fide contest of skill.” See IC 35-45-5-1(l). Thus, games like poker and euchre are considered gambling if played for money. 5. What is a bona fide game of skill? Bona fide games of skill include games where one can control the results or enhance their abilities through training. Examples include: sporting events, memory games, golf, horseshoes, darts, pool, scrabble, and trivia.
