Disruptive Events during the High School Years and Educational Attainment
We use data from the National Education Longitudinal Survey to examine the effects of family structure and school changing on attendance during high school and educational continuation through college entry. We find that both family structure and changing schools are associated with more attendance problems during high school and with school continuation decisions after high school. The results also show that family structure, changing schools, and attendance patterns play important roles in shaping the educational attainment of individuals, including their postsecondary educational experiences.

Measurements of from event shapes and the four-jet rate
New results from measurements of the strong coupling constant
at LEP are presented. In particular, a new LEP combination of results based on
event-shape variables has become available, where a new method for the
estimation of the theoretical uncertainty has been implemented. Furthermore,
two other analyses are quoted, based on power corrections and the four-jet
rate.Comment: Talk presented at the 31st International Conference on High Energy

Techniques for QCD calculations by numerical integration
Calculations of observables in quantum chromodynamics are typically performed
using a method that combines numerical integrations over the momenta of final
state particles with analytical integrations over the momenta of virtual
particles. I describe the most important steps of a method for performing all
of the integrations numerically.Comment: 36 pages with 16 postscript figure
Quark-Gluon Jet Differences at LEP
A new method to identify the gluon jet in 3-jet ``{\bf Y}'' decays of
is presented. The method is based on differences in particle multiplicity
between quark jets and gluon jets, and is more effective than tagging by
leptonic decay. An experimental test of the method and its application to a
study of the ``string effect'' are proposed. Various jet-finding schemes for
3-jet events are compared.Comment: 11 pages, LaTeX, 4 PostScript figures availble from the author

A numerical approach to the double real radiation part of e+e- to 3 jets at NNLO
We report on the sector decomposition approach to the double real radiation
part of e^+e^- to 3 jets at NNLO.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, talk given at the conference "Loops and Legs in
Quantum Field Theory", Eisenach, Germany, April 200
Successive Combination Jet Algorithm For Hadron Collisions
Jet finding algorithms, as they are used in and hadron collisions,
are reviewed and compared. It is suggested that a successive combination style
algorithm, similar to that used in physics, might be useful also in
hadron collisions, where cone style algorithms have been used previously.Comment: 18 pages plus four uuencoded postscript figures, REVTEX 3.0,
