| To get into college, play a game or two Posted: 23 Jun 2014 05:54 AM PDT By Liz Weston LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - For the first-time college hopeful in a family, who may have less help navigating the complex application process, would playing some games offer insights, help with school choices and boost their chances of completing a degree? Researchers and game developers at the University of Southern California hope so. They've developed a card game, a Facebook game and an online shoot-em-up action game designed to impart college-application strategies that so-called "first-generation" students may not learn anywhere else. "They might have parents who don't know much about the college application process and attend schools that don't have college support," said Zoe Corwin, research director for USC's Pullias Center for Higher Education. |
| Major shareholder of South Korean ferry operator applies for receivership Posted: 23 Jun 2014 12:40 AM PDT The major shareholder of the South Korean operator of the ferry on which hundreds of high school students drowned in April has applied for receivership, a court said on Monday. Chonhaiji Co Ltd, a ship block maker and the major shareholder of ferry operator Chonghaejin Marine Company, lodged its application at the Changwon District Court last week, a court official said. Chonghaejin Marine owned the Sewol, which sank on April 16 on a routine journey between the mainland port of Incheon and the holiday island of Jeju. Chonhaiji had 34.8 billion won ($34.19 million) in outstanding debt to main creditor Korea Development Bank [KDB.UL] as of last week, the bank's spokesman said. |
