She was out and about, ferrying people around while worrying that she’d be ticketed by cops who’d ordered folks to stay home. Other students played it safe, hunkering down as recommended by area officials. Most gathered around in Morgan View and campus dorms watching TV, playing games, eating, surfing the net—and in general enjoying two unexpected days off. Morgan State survived the storm just fine.

  • Loot Boxes: Are They Grooming Youth for Gambling?
    Loot Boxes: Are they grooming youth for gambling? Prepared for: The NSW Responsible Gambling Fund Prepared by: Prof. Matthew Rockloff Dr. Alex M T Russell Ms. Nancy Greer Dr. Lisa Lolé Prof. Nerilee Hing Prof. Matthew Browne Central Queensland University June 2020 doi: 10.25946/5ef151ac1ce6f ISBN: 978-1-921047-87-9 This project was funded by the NSW Government’s Responsible Gambling Fund, with support from the NSW Office of Responsible Gambling. The report has undergone independent peer review, which was overseen by the Office. This publication is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Australia licence. Page | 1 Executive summary This report outlines research aimed at understanding the risks posed by loot boxes to adolescents (12-17) and young adults (18-24) in NSW. Loot boxes are a growing concern due to the risk and reward properties that closely align them with traditional gambling, the potential for encouraging greater gambling involvement, and the potential for associated gambling harm. Broadly, this research revealed: • Loot boxes are common in the best-selling video games. Our exploration included a selection of 82 best selling video games and revealed 62% (51) had loot boxes. • In our survey sample, almost all of the respondents played at least one video game with loot boxes within the last 12 months (93.2%). • About a third (32.9%) of the survey respondents who played games with loot boxes within the last 12 months had also purchased a loot box, and their median monthly expenditure was $50 for adolescents and $72 for young adults. • Compared to other purchasers, young adults who more recently first purchased loot boxes were more likely to have gambling problems.

Kang Dissertation Committee: Herbert Ziegler, Chairperson Margot Henriksen Marcus Daniel Njoroge Njoroge Kathryn Hoffmann Keywords: tattoos, skin art, sports, cultural studies, ethnic studies, gender studies ©Copyright 2014 by Sung P. Kang ii Acknowledgements This dissertation would not be possible without the support and assistance of many of the History Department faculty and staff from the University of Hawaii, colleagues from Hawaii Pacific University, friends, and family. I am very thankful to Njoroge Njoroge in supplying constant debates on American sports and issues facing black athletes, and furthering my understanding of Marxism and black America. To Kathryn Hoffmann, who was a continuous “springboard” for many of my theories and issues surrounding the body. I also want to thank Marcus Daniel, who constantly challenged my perspective on the relationship between politics and race. To Herbert Ziegler who was instrumental to the entire doctoral process despite his own ailments. Without him none of this would have been possible. To Margot (Mimi) Henriksen, my chairperson, who despite her own difficulties gave me continual assistance, guidance, and friendship that sustained me to this stage in my academic career. Her confidence in me was integral, as it fed my determination not to disappoint her. To my chiropractor, Dr. Eric Shimane, who made me physically functional so I could continue with the grueling doctoral process.

IPHONE + IPOD BUYERS’ GUIDE After a slow and uneven 2011, Apple roared back in 2012, launching a wide array of significantly redesigned devices. The iPod, iPhone, and iPad families all saw major screen revisions, including two taller iPods, one elongated iPhone, and a quadrupled-resolution iPad. Then, just before the holidays, Apple debuted the 7.9” iPad mini, and replaced the 9.7” iPad again - just because it could. Going into 2013, the lineup looks almost completely different than it did a year earlier, except for three iPods that have been left largely untouched. If you’re reading this Guide, you’re probably looking for buying advice, and that’s why we’re here - to give you an impartial and honest look at the world of Apple devices, accessories, apps, and games. Following our tradition, iLounge’s editors have spent the past year testing hundreds of new products, selecting the best and most noteworthy ones for our new 2013 iPhone + iPod Buyers Guide.
