text: FINISHED! SLIPPER CHAIRS BEFORE & AFTER February 21, 2012 My chairs are finally done & home! If you follow me on my new Dayka Robinson Designs Facebook page you've been privy to a few sneak peeks as my chairs have gone through reupholstery process (and no, the awful upholsterer didn't get his hands on these). I sprayed the frames then dropped the chairs off to have them reupholstered in a punchy Duralee print (which unfortunately has no name, only a product number). You can see the rest of my plans here. I decided about 1 day too late that I didn't want the tufting on the back, so it took me a minute to decide how I really felt about the tufting + pattern combo once it was complete. To be honest, I actually agonized over it for a bit…then decided all was okay once I saw them in my living room. It's such a huge transformation and again illustrates why I always reach for vintage furniture when I have the option! 45 years ago, someone probably saved up to buy these chairs and they sat in a formal living room virtually untouched for decades (evidenced by the excellent condition I found them in). And now, in 2012, they've been given a new lease on life along with a jolt of color. I'll tell you what…inspiration & ingenuity will do it for you every time. As you can see by the tape on the trim in the photo above, I'm in the process of trying to do a lot at my house (prepping for paint is kray!). But finally, the chairs are done, and my club chair will be back this week. So now, share your thoughts! You like?? Does the pattern + tufting drive you crazy??

When I make it big I'm so hiring you for my furniture refinishing needs. I also think the tufting is subtle because of all the pattern going on, and won't get in the way. Great job! ~Carla 🙂 Reply Holly February 21, 2012 at 2:06 pm (7 years ago) Dayka, these chairs ROCK! The purple is so fresh and vibrant and I don't mind the print on the tufting. Will you have a pillow on each chair? And good to know that is a Duralee fabric – I was wondering about that. I'm so excited to see this room come together. What paint color is on your walls currently? that's a nice color. Enjoy your new pretties!! Reply Mr. Goodwill Hunting February 21, 2012 at 5:27 pm (7 years ago) These are amazing. You are so right. Most vintage furniture have much better quality. I will opt for them more readily than the stuff today. Although some is great. They are beautiful! Mr. Goodwill Hunting Reply Dr. Reginia February 21, 2012 at 8:02 pm (7 years ago) Amazing job with the chairs. Reply Ange February 22, 2012 at 2:04 am (7 years ago) Love them!

Reply Niki McNeill February 22, 2012 at 8:00 pm (7 years ago) LOVE the purple legs and print! 😉 Reply WhitneyJ February 23, 2012 at 11:22 pm (7 years ago) Wow!!!!These chairs are gorgeous. Ummm… can I have them?? I love purple, and I think you did a A+ job painting the legs yourself. The fabric pattern is the perfect fit for these chairs. The curvaceous shape of the chair is still vintage-y, but the geometric pattern gives it a modern pop! I agree with you, I would have chosen not to tuft the back, but it still looks great! Good luck with the rest of your living room; I know it will look just as awesome! cheapchicbywhitney.blogspot.com Reply LiveLaughDecorate February 26, 2012 at 11:42 am (7 years ago) Hey Dayka,Love your blog and refurbishing old chairs/furniture.

'Hollywood Accounting' Losing In The Courts
from the math-is-hard dept
For example, a bunch of you sent in the example of how Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, under "Hollywood accounting," ended up with a $167 million "loss," despite taking in $938 million in revenue. This isn't new or surprising, but it's getting attention because the income statement for the movie was leaked online, showing just how Warner Bros. pulled off the accounting trick:
Now, that's all fascinating from a general business perspective, but now it appears that Hollywood Accounting is coming under attack in the courtroom... and losing. Not surprisingly, your average juror is having trouble coming to grips with the idea that a movie or television show can bring in hundreds of millions and still "lose" money. This week, the big case involved a TV show, rather than a movie, with the famed gameshow Who Wants To Be A Millionaire suddenly becoming "Who Wants To Hide Millions In Profits." A jury found the whole "Hollywood Accounting" discussion preposterous and awarded Celador $270 million in damages from Disney, after the jury believed that Disney used these kinds of tricks to cook the books and avoid having to pay Celador over the gameshow, as per their agreement.
On the same day, actor Don Johnson won a similar lawsuit in a battle over profits from the TV show Nash Bridges, and a jury awarded him $23 million from the show's producer. Once again, the jury was not at all impressed by Hollywood Accounting.
With these lawsuits exposing Hollywood's sneakier accounting tricks, and finding them not very convincing, a number of Hollywood studios may face a glut of upcoming lawsuits over similar deals on properties that "lost" money while making millions. It's why many of the studios are pretty worried about the rulings. Of course, these recent rulings will be appealed, and a jury ruling might not really mean much in the long run. Still, for now, it's a fun glimpse into yet another way that Hollywood lies with numbers to avoid paying people what they owe (while at the same time sanctimoniously insisting in the press and to politicians that they're all about getting content creators paid what they're due).

Old Academy Players in East Falls opened its season last weekend with a revival of "The Importance of Being Earnest." Fueled by Oscar Wilde's legendary wit, the play was acclaimed even at its premiere in 1895. It achieves its purpose of satirizing Victorian propriety and winds up doing much more.
The story is as simple as it gets. Two gallants, Algernon and Jack, both assume the false identity of Earnest so they can lead double lives, one in town and one in the country. Director Carla Childs handles the set shifts cleanly and scores big in her casting and direction of the major characters.
Joel Dickerson stars as the dismissive Algernon. This gay and aristocratic freeloader is never at a loss for words and always with a caustic wit. ("Really, if the lower orders don't set us a good example, what on earth is the use of them?"—Algernon)
Gil Johnson is excellent as Jack. Some productions have Jack vying with Algernon in a sort of contest as to who can be the most supercilious. We do better here. Although he connives, Johnson's Jack is also sincere and a needed contrast to the happy self-assurance of everyone else.
Amber Marie Payne plays Gwendolyn, Jack's love interest who likes to think she is naughty, and actress Payne is full of mischievous animation. Yet Gwendolyn really shares her mother's sense of position in the world, underscored by their similar dress (costumes by Helga Krauss and Ginny Kaufmann).
Laura Seeley is endearing as Cecily, the love interest of Algernon. Sweet and primly untroubled in her flowing garb, Cecily comically invents her life in the diary she keeps. (Here and elsewhere, Wilde takes a swipe at storytellers.)
Finally, Dale Mezzacappa seems born to play Lady Bracknell, Gwendolyn's mother. With her Victorian propriety, she intends to put a stop to all this fun and romance. Yet Mezzacappa's Bracknell is also redoubtable and has a sense of humor that blurs the line between wit and malapropism.
All ends well with the comical conversion of Lady Bracknell to the wishes of the young folks. (The same cannot be said for Wilde himself. He soon fell victim to the Victorian morality he lampooned and was prosecuted and imprisoned for homosexuality, which led to his premature death.)
The notion of a "classic" can be tossed about too freely, but "Earnest" really does have a special place in the theater canon. Mistaken identity has been a staple of farce since Plautus used it 2,200 years ago, but here the use of mistaken identity is so uniquely playful that "Earnest" makes a farce out of farce.
Similarly, with events like the lost handbag of Miss Prism (Lauri Jacobs), Wilde laughs at all the ludicrous coincidences storytellers come up with solely to advance the plot. So even as it satirizes the Victorian world, "Earnest" takes the art form that specializes in laughing at our foolishness and laughs at comedy itself.
Old Academy Players is located at 3540-44 Indian Queen Lane."The Importance of Being Earnest" will run through Oct. 6. Reservations available at 215-843-1109.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) If the Seattle Mariners can get into the AL wild card game against Jon Lester and the Oakland Athletics, they'll be plenty confident with King Felix on the mound.
Kyle Seager and Corey Hart homered leading off the seventh inning to back Felix Hernandez's stellar start, and the Mariners rallied to beat the A's 2-1 on Wednesday to win the three-game series between playoff contenders.
''I think we match up well,'' Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. ''We've got a few bullets to throw at them that toe the rubber. We like our chances.''
McClendon and the Mariners were in a light-hearted mood after the victory.
The manager pointed out that Hernandez looked well rested despite his much-maligned move to push his ace back a day before his last start against the Washington Nationals - which was Hernandez's worst outing of the season - by referencing a profanity-laced quote from former Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight.
McClendon could crack jokes mostly because of the homers that erased an otherwise brilliant performance by Lester (13-10) and helped Hernandez (14-5) win for the first time in four outings.
Adam Dunn's homer in the fourth accounted for the only run Hernandez allowed in eight innings. The right-hander gave up three hits, struck out four and walked two to outduel Lester in a matchup of two of the AL's best pitchers.
The Mariners tagged Lester for seven hits in eight innings. Fernando Rodney pitched a perfect ninth for his 41st save in 44 chances.
''It was special,'' said Hernandez, adding that he promised his wife a win for her birthday. ''We came here to win the series and that's what we did.''
Hernandez improved to 19-7 against Oakland, including 4-0 in five starts this season. He said he's just happy to finally be pitching in a playoff race.
''It feels great. It feels really good. It's fun to do that,'' he said.
The A's have lost seven of nine, including a four-game series at the AL West-leading Los Angeles Angels before dropping two of three to Seattle at the Coliseum. The Mariners remain right behind Detroit and Oakland in the chase for the AL's two wild cards.
And for most of the sun-splashed afternoon, it looked like a possible preview for that game.
Hernandez, who allowed a career-high four home runs in his last start against the Washington Nationals, returned to his dominant ways for all but one pitch. It was Dunn's second homer in three days since being traded from the Chicago White Sox, his 22nd this season and 462nd of his career, tying him with former A's slugger Jose Canseco for 34th in major league history.
Lester looked to be in his All-Star form, scattering hits and keeping batters off balance, but Seattle changed that on the left-hander's first three pitches of the seventh.
Seager and Hart hit back-to-back homers to give the Mariners the lead. It was Seager's 22nd home run this season, tying a career high, and Hart's fifth.
''Two mistakes, two solo homers,'' Lester said. ''Nothing else really to talk about as far as the game went for me.''
INJURED VOGT: A's first baseman Stephen Vogt was replaced in the seventh after spraining his left ankle, which he injured sliding into second on a failed hit-and-run in the fifth. Vogt said X-rays were negative and he's hoping he's only out a few days.
Mariners: Chris Young, chased Monday after getting just two outs in the shortest outing of his career, threw a bullpen session and felt fine. Manager Lloyd McClendon will decide Thursday whether the 35-year-old right-hander will make his next start Saturday.
Athletics: CF Coco Crisp felt better after receiving trigger-point injections Wednesday to help relieve tightness and pain in his neck. He could return to the lineup Friday. ... Reliever Sean Doolittle (strained right intercostal) played long toss. He will take Thursday off and resume his rehab Friday. ... INF Nick Punto (hamstring) got a cortisone shot earlier in the week and will try running sprints Friday.
Mariners: LHP Roenis Elias (9-12, 3.97 ERA) starts the opener of a four-game series at Texas on Thursday. He's 1-1 with a 2.60 ERA in three starts against the Rangers.
Athletics: After an off day Thursday, RHP Jeff Samardzija (4-4, 3.57 ERA) starts the opener of a three-game series against Houston. He has gone eight innings in his last two starts.

Bucs look to claim fourth conference title in last five years on the men's side
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 25, 2010) - For the fifth straight year, the ETSU Buccaneers will host the Atlantic Sun Indoor Track and Field Championships, as the two-day meet kicks off this Friday on the David E. Walker Track inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
The meet, which begins Friday morning at 8:45 a.m., concludes with the annual awards ceremony Saturday evening at 4:30.
On the men's side, ETSU is looking to claim its second straight title and the fourth since joining the conference five years ago. The Bucs held off conference rival Kennesaw State a year ago - defeating the Owls by 20.5 points (172-151.50). At the post-race ceremony Ben Ronoh (Sotik, Kenya) won Most Outstanding Track Performer honors after winning both the 3000m and 5000m events.
This year a new scoring platform has been added, as the top eight athletes score points in each event, compared to only six in the previous championships. ETSU enters the meet as the favorites in seven events - 60m, 200m, 3000m, 60mH, distance medley relay, triple jump and heptathlon.
Senior Duronal Monal (Belle Glade, Fla.) currently holds the league's fastest times in the 60m (6.74) and 200m (21.47); while Mike James (Palm Bay, Fla.) has set a NCAA Provisional Mark in the 60mH (7.90). In the distance events, senior Kenneth Rotich (Nairobi, Kenya) leads the A-Sun with his time of 8:25.09 in the 3000m at the Liberty Open, and the DMR has a two second lead on Lipscomb - 10:19.03 to 10:21.87. Senior Nic Chernikow (Seymour, Tenn.) looks to win his second straight heptathlon title and freshman Ryan Beaver (Virginia Beach, Va.) has the lead in the triple jump (14.53m).
The Owls will look to bag a lot of points in the 400m, 800m, shot put, and weight throw. Both the Bucs and Kennesaw State will battle strong in the pole vault, as six of the top seven athletes in the event come from both programs. Meanwhile, ETSU can lock up a plethora of points in the multis, short sprints, distance, and long and triple jump events.
On the women's side, Jacksonville is eyeing its fifth straight conference crown. Since 2006, the Dolphins have blown out the competition at the championships, with Jacksonville's closest finish coming in 2006. The Dolphins beat Florida Atlantic by 14 points - 133 to 119.
The Lady Bucs will be led by junior Jasmine Ingram (Frederick, Md.), senior Zachlynn Blackburn (Tazewell, Va.) and freshman Kelly Monteleone (Verona, Pa.).
Ingram and Blackburn have been the driving force behind the ETSU women's squad this season.
Ingram has won three Atlantic Sun Athlete of the Week honors and holds the conference's fastest time and school record in the 400m. The Frederick, Md. native currently ranks second in the 400m and holds ETSU's quickest time ever at 55.29. Ingram has yet to win a conference title in the 400m, but she hopes to break that trend this weekend on her home track.
Meanwhile, in the field events, Blackburn looks to redeem herself in the throws. After winning gold in the weight in 2008, Blackburn finished third in the event a year ago; while placing second in the shot put. Blackburn looks for a strong finish in her final indoor championship meet, as she enters the meet with the second farthest throw in the weight (16.96m). Fellow thrower, Lili Barboza (Oxford, Ala.) also looks to score in both events, as she ranks fifth in the weight and sixth in the shot.
In the jumps, Monteleone hopes to make a strong showing in her first conference championship meet. The Verona, Pa. native ranks seventh in the long jump (5.49m) and eighth in the triple (11.32m).

Alcohol Research Group
Established in 1959, the Alcohol Research Group (ARG), now of the Public Health Institute, conducts and disseminates high-quality research on the epidemiology of alcohol consumption and problems, alcohol health services research, and alcohol policies while also training future generations of alcohol researchers. ARG is also home to the National Alcohol Research Center.
Program Director(s)

Alcohol's Harms to Others Among US Adults: Individual and Contextual Effects
This survey project would be the first to assess comprehensively the types and seriousness of harms from others' drinking in the US national adult population. By studying how relationships of victims and perpetrators, neighborhood social and economic factors, and state alcohol policies may add to or reduce risks of heavy drinkers' harms to families, friends, and strangers, the research will inform prevention planning and generate findings relevant for developing evidence-informed alcohol policies.
12-Step Alternatives and Recovery Outcomes in a Large National Study
Alongside AA, many mutual help groups are now available that help individuals address their substance use problems and can be used before, during, after, and instead of formal treatment. Yet, little is known about the alternatives to AA. The study would provide much-needed information on the nature and effectiveness of WFS, SMART, LifeRing, and SOS. It could extend the menu of options providers and patients consider, enhancing the likelihood that patients affiliate with a supportive peer network and maintain better outcomes.
Addiction Recovery Residences to Improve Health Outcomes in High Risk Men
Recovery residences (e.g., Oxford HousesTM, sober living houses, and recovery homes) are promising and affordable mechanisms to promote and sustain recovery from alcohol and drug abuse. Unfortunately, we know little about the experiences of LGBTIs in recovery residences and about the role that these residences may play in the recovery of LGBTIs, improvements to their overall health, and access to health services. Recovery residences developed specifically for members of the LGBTI community may be an especially promising way to tailor recovery support and increase overall health among this population, but few exist, and we know little about the programming of those that do.
Alcohol and Pregnancy: Do State-Level Punitive and Supportive Policies Matter?
The Alcohol Research Group will support UCSF's study by: 1) Prepare complex survey and vital statistics data for analysis, including strategies for variable coding to account for changes in question wording, measurement, and sampling that occurred over the thirty to forty years of data collection; 2) Prepare datasets for analysis and conduct preliminary analyses; 3) Conduct data analysis and provide guidance to Dr. Roberts on data analysis; 4) Collaborate closely with Dr. Roberts to interpret findings and 5) Contribute as co-authors on manuscripts for publication as well as conference presentations.
Alcohol Use Among Asian American & Young Adults: Do Subgroups Differ?
This study will improve knowledge about Asian American adolescent and young adult drinking and inform effective intervention strategies. It is a secondary analysis of an Asian American sample extracted from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to test hypotheses such as that having low attachment to parents and more close friends who drink are associated with higher alcohol use in adolescence and over time.
Alcohol's Harms to Others: Multinational Cultural Contexts and Policy Implications
This project would be the first to assess the types, severity, and individual and contextual correlates of harms from others' heavy drinking in a wide range of societies with greatly varying drinking cultures and policies. Studying alcohol's harms to others in a multinational, public health framework parallels the role that data on second-hand smoking harms played in making the case for tobacco regulations. The study will apply new metrics, including reduced quality of life and other costs, to document the severity of second-hand impacts of alcohol. By studying comprehensively how individual, social, and economic influences, as well as national alcohol policies, may affect heavy drinkers' harms to families, friends, and strangers, the research will inform prevention planning and generate data to help gauge alcohol policy effects on these harms in varying cultural contexts.
California Reducing Disparities Project
Phase II: Asian and Pacific Islander Technical Assistance Provider: Special Service for Groups
As the Technical Assistance Provider for the API population, we provide ongoing and culturally-responsive consultation, training, and capacity-building for the 7 API Implementation Pilot Projects (IPPs) throughout California. We ground our TA services through a strength-based, peer-learning, and community-driven approach. CRDP is funded by Proposition 64, the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA).
Community Impact on Adoption of Sober Living Houses
This study combined quantitative and qualitative methodologies to understand community influences on the adoption of the promising innovation of sober living houses. Particular focus was on one community where it was successfully established. Translating promising interventions into community services requires demonstrating positive outcomes and consideration of the knowledge, attitudes and perceived barriers for various stakeholders.
Cross-National Analysis of Alcohol & Injury
This project continues the analysis of data from the 12-site World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborative Study on Alcohol and Injuries and the 33-site Emergency Room Collaborative Alcohol Analysis Project. Analysis will explore the association of alcohol and injury with contextual variables and gaps in this research identified at a WHO-sponsored international conference on alcohol and injury.
Drinking Patterns & Ethnicity: Impact on Mortality Risks
This project conducts a secondary analysis of existing data to enhance understanding of patterns of alcohol consumption and the epidemiology of alcohol-related problems and mortality. Objectives include addressing risk and protective factors in the U.S. population and in white, black and Hispanic subpopulations of both genders.
Effect of Marriage Recognition and Substance Abuse and Health for Women
This study will used a mixed methods design to develop and test novel measures for assessing factors that underlie the impact of marriage recognition on sexual minority women (SMW, including lesbian, bisexual and other women who do not identify as exclusively heterosexual). ARG will merge data from the new measures with previously collected data, from a large sample of sexual minority women which include rich demographic, risk and resiliency data from participants. Merged data will be used to examine associations between marriage recognition and hazardous drinking, depression, and poor general health, with specific focus on racial/ethnic differences.
Effects of Disadvantage and Protective Resources on Alcohol-Related Disparities
The primary objective of this study is to describe and explain racial disparities in both heavy drinking and alcohol problems at equivalent levels of consumption. The conceptual approach recognizes that racial/ethnic groups in the U.S. are differentially exposed to economic, social and neighborhood disadvantages, and draws on recent theoretical work suggesting that cumulative exposure to disadvantage may play a significant role in understanding health disparities.
Effects of Spirits Privatization on Alcohol Prices and Alcohol-Related Harms
This project will track implementation of regulations, revenues and prices and use state-representative surveys of Washington drinkers and residents to evaluate changes in drinking, purchasing, problems, attitudes and experiences following privatization and other subsequent changes. Results will inform debates on government control of alcohol sales, relevant to 18 remaining control states, and on the three-tier system and alcohol taxation relevant to all US states.
Epidemiology of Alcohol Problems/National Alcohol Research Center
The goal of the National Alcohol Research Center is to explore relationships between well-characterized drinking patterns and numerous highly specific problems, as well as to look at conditions such as drug taking, disability, poverty and access to services. The Alcohol Research Group addresses emerging topics that are crucial policy concerns such as interpersonal violence and health-related harms.
Epidemiology of Alcohol Problems: Alcohol-related Disparities
The grant supports four core components and three research projects that focus on addressing alcohol-related health disparities in order to identify and reduce the effects of economic or social disadvantage on public health outcomes. It also supports the National Alcohol Research Resources Core which enables researchers to conduct the National Alcohol Survey (NAS), a cross-sectional alcohol-epidemiological survey every five years and undergirds Center research projects. With a future wave scheduled to begin in 2018, the NAS will celebrate forty years of monitoring our nation's drinking patterns and its associated problems in various sub-populations.
Epidemiology of Drinking and Disorders among Mexican-Origin Adults in Border and Non-Border Contexts
This research aims to describe and explain alcohol use patterns and related problems among Mexican-origin adults living in three pairs of sister metropolitan areas at the Texas-Mexico border, plus, as a contrast, in one adjacent non-border metropolitan area on each side of the border.
Gender, Alcohol and Culture: Secondary Data Analysis
The project supports the re-analysis of GENACIS (Gender, Alcohol, and Culture: Secondary Data Analysis) data. Areas of involvement include the initial scale development tasks as well as analyses related to risk curves, societal and demographic influences, drinking contexts and informal social pressures.
How Cannabis Use Affects Alcohol Treatment Outcomes
This study uses advanced statistical methods to better understand how cannabis use among individuals recovering from alcohol use disorders affects drinking after treatment. Results will help alcohol treatment providers better understand the risks associated with cannabis use for people of varying demographics and substance use histories.
Identifying Modifiable Influences on Alcohol Problems in High-Risk Neighborhoods
This study develops and tests a socioecological model of relapse and recovery from alcohol problems to describe how neighborhood, social network and individual factors independently and interactively predict relapse and recovery from alcohol problems and dependence.
Impact of Services on Problem Drinking Trajectories
This study looks at patterns of alcohol consumption and related problems over a seven-year trajectory, in treated and untreated problem drinkers from the same community. Drinking problems are increasingly viewed as chronic, cyclical and relapsing. The study addresses the roles that a wide spectrum of health and human services plays over the trajectory.
Increasing the Public's Awareness of Childhood Cancers
As a part of the CureSearch for Children's Cancer, this project develops a sustainable, easy to navigate website for patient/family/community describing psychosocial issues for families affected by childhood cancer. This will be the premier site to help families and their extended social network during the experience of cancer from diagnosis through treatment, survivorship or bereavement.
Individual and Community Influences on Alcohol Use Disorders and Other Mental Health Behaviors in Mexican Americans
The objective of this project is to develop a multilevel, bio-psychosocial-ecological model of risk and protective factors for binge drinking, alcohol use disorders (AUDs), and other mental health behaviors (MHBs) in Mexican-American young adults. This is a collaborative project led by Dr. Cindy Ehlers at the Scripps Research Institute, in La Jolla, CA.
Intensive Motivational Interviewing for Methamphetamine Dependence
This study tests the efficacy of a promising nine-session model of motivational interviewing (MI) for methamphetamine dependence. Methamphetamine use is rapidly increasing and in some areas, such as the Western U.S., is reaching epidemic proportions. Prior studies found higher doses of MI were associated with better outcomes, and may be a useful approach for this population.
Inter-Relationships Between Life-Course Alcohol Patterns and Health Conditions
New analyses of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) 1979 and 1997 cohorts and of the 2010 National Alcohol Survey (NAS) are examining: (1) effects of heart disease/heart problems, hypertension, diabetes, cancers and stroke as well as alcohol-attributable health problems on alcohol consumption; (2) influences of alcohol use and childhood adversity on onset of health conditions; and (3) effects of alcohol use patterns, childhood and adult adversity, and economic impacts of the 2008-09 recession on self-reported general health status.
Interaction of Mental Health and Social Support on Drug Relapse in Recovery Homes
The study's findings will result in immediate, practical implications for over 500 sober living houses (SLHs) in California and 1,200 Oxford Houses in the U.S. The study will: track drug-dependent individuals' psychiatric symptoms; identify factors that moderate the influence of psychiatric symptoms; identify how trajectories of mental health symptoms among methamphetamine-dependent individuals differ from those dependent on other substances; and examine mental health symptoms of drug-dependent persons in the community rather than in formal treatment.
Moderators of Motivation to Maintain Sobriety Over 18 Months
This project is studying how motivation to maintain sobriety is associated with abstinence and reduced substance use over 18 months among individuals entering sober living recovery homes. Findings will add substantitvely to our knowledge about how motivation impacts the recovery process over time in the community.
Multi-Level Analyses to Explain Substance Abuse Treatment Gaps
Using secondary data analyses of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) and the National Longitudinal Alcohol Epidemiologic Survey (NLAES), this project studies the interaction of individual factors with societal and health system factors (such as state policies, public financing, health system organization and area socioeconomic characteristics) on state variations in substance abuse treatment needs and utilization.
National Alcohol Research Center Statistical and Data Services Core (A Center Core Component)
The SDS Core provides biostatistical consulting, analysis, and data management support for the Center's other core and research components and participates actively in Pilot Projects. The SDS Core also involves training activities to enhance statistical capacities of scientific staff at all levels.
The Core also undertakes data archiving and documentation of measures, to increase data value and access, as well as helping assure that appropriate analysis, database storage, and integrity procedures are followed. A series of statistical methodology seminars for staff will increase sophistication in using newer techniques. Experience with cutting-edge statistical methodologies benefits all Center components and simultaneously helps train the next generation of alcohol researchers, improving their effectiveness.
Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status and Alcohol Outcomes: Moderators and Mediators
The study conducts a secondary analysis of data from the 2000 and 2005 National Alcohol Surveys (conducted by the Alcohol Research Group) linked with data from the 2000 US Census to examine whether, for whom and how neighborhood socioeconomic status is associated with alcohol use and alcohol problems.
Preparing a Computerized Tool for Preventing Prenatal Drinking for a Larger Trial
Heavy drinking by women of childbearing age increases risk for unplanned pregnancy, for drinking during pregnancy and for fetal alcohol spectrum disorders in their infants. This research is studying a recently piloted, self-administered, computerized tool for reducing prenatal drinking that adds novel elements of drink size assessment and drink size feedback to traditional screening and brief intervention (SBI). Findings will help design a larger, rigorous trial of electronic SBI's efficacy for reducing prenatal alcohol use.
Racial Disparities in Access to Appropriate Alcohol Treatment Services
This study strives to identify gaps in the delivery of appropriate alcohol treatment services to racial/ethnic minority populations, and to better understand how disparities in access to appropriate care impact these groups' chances for recovery from alcohol problems. The project is based on secondary analyses of NIAAA's National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions.
Randomized Trial of Intensive MI to Improve Drinking Among Women
This study aims to improve drinking outcomes among women using a recently developed intensive model of motivational interviewing (IMI). Unlike standard motivational interviewing (MI), which typically consists of 1–2 sessions at the beginning of treatment, IMI consists of 9 sessions delivered concurrently with standard outpatient treatment.
Reducing Offenders' HIV Risk: MI Enhanced Case Management with Drug-Free Housing
HIV risk among criminal justice offenders is high. Rates of infection are up to 10 times higher than the general population. Drug-free housing will be accessed through the Sober Living Network (SLN). Our recent study of SLHs showed criminal justice offenders fared worse than other residents and HIV issues were not assessed. Expanding on our current HIV service grants, we will use motivational interviewing (MI) case management to address HIV risk and the mix of factors that increase risk.
Revenues from Alcoholic Beverages
ARG is collecting data from all states on revenues, tax rate, sales and per capita consumption of beer, wine and spirits for the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association's project Revenues from Alcoholic Beverages.
Screening and Brief Intervention in the Emergency Department among Mexican-origin Young Adults
This project aims to 1) examine the effectiveness of Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) among Mexican-origin young adults in Emergency Departments at the U.S.-Mexico border and 2) identify variables that are related to the effectiveness of the intervention and that predict successful treatment outcomes.
Sexual Orientation and Correlates of Alcohol Problems
This project furthers understanding of the increased risk for hazardous alcohol use, alcohol-related problems and drug use among sexual minorities, which is especially pronounced among women. Understanding factors that increase or buffer risk for hazardous drinking among sexual minorities (and non-minorities) will inform culturally and gender-appropriate prevention and intervention strategies.
Sexual Orientation Differences: Prevalence and Correlates of Substance Use and Abuse
The study addresses gaps identified in two recent Institute of Medicine (IOM) reports related to sexual minority health. It will provide a more nuanced understanding of factors that mediate and moderate substantially higher rates of hazardous drinking and substance use among sexual minority women. This is critical to the development of culturally appropriate prevention and treatment interventions.
Social, Developmental, and Genetic Epidemiology in Alcohol Use
The Alcohol Research Group will participate in Virginia Commonwealth University's study by providing feedback on conceptual, methodological and analytical issues. The study seeks to clarify how environmental adversity at the individual, family and community level and genetic risk jointly contribute to the development of alcohol use disorders. To accomplish this goal, advanced statistical methods will be applied to a unique set of epidemiological resources available in the country of Sweden. The findings will be relevant to the US and other developed countries, with potential impacts on prevention, treatment and policy.
Statistical and Data Services Core
The SDS Core provides biostatistical consulting, analysis, and data management support for the Center's other core and research components and participates actively in Pilot Projects. The SDS Core also involves training activities to enhance statistical capacities of scientific staff at all levels. The Core undertakes data archiving and documentation of measures, to increase data value and access, as well as helping assure that appropriate analysis, database storage, and integrity procedures are followed. A series of statistical methodology seminars for staff will increase sophistication in using newer techniques. Experience with cutting-edge statistical methodologies benefits all Center components and simultaneously helps train the next generation of alcohol researchers, improving their effectiveness.
Testing Medical Marijuana's Unintended Consequences for Youth and Young Adults
This project will investigate if medical marijuana laws affect drug-related attitudes, consumption and problems among adolescents and young adults. Analyses will draw upon data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health with original data collection on the passage and characteristics of state medical marijuana legislations, state political views, and organization of state alcohol and drug treatment systems.
Understanding Racial Disparities in Heavy Drinking Over the Life Course
This study will describe racial disparities in prolonged heavy drinking and persistent alcohol problems in a nationally representative sample of Americans followed from adolescence to middle age. The study will identify lifecourse socioeconomic factors that increase risk for these adverse alcohol outcomes, and assess the extent to which racial disparities in these outcomes are explained by differential exposure to, and consequences of, these risk factors. Study results will help to inform interventions targeted to different periods of the lifecourse, which can help to reduce racial alcohol-related disparities.
What Is Recovery?
Alcoholics who no longer drink, and are trying to pursue an improved way of living/being, say that they are "in recovery," and the term is widely used in alcohol use research. Yet despite its seeming centrality, there is no agreed upon definition of the term within the alcohol literature. This study aims to develop a Recovery Scale that is based on how people who have been through the experience of recovery define the term, and to correlate thresholds for which the probability of continued abstinence is increased.
When Does Pressure Facilitate Help Seeking? 25-Year Trends and Correlates
This study uses data from the National Alcohol Survey collected at six different points over a 25-year period to describe the patterns of pressure that drinkers received from family, friends, physicians and the workplace to "drink less or act differently," and examines how such pressure was related to seeking and not seeking help.
Here's How We're Making a Difference
Addiction recovery residences to improve health outcomes in high-risk men
Men who have sex with men (MSM) are at increased risk for substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, and other adverse health conditions. Addiction recovery residences are an effective intervention, but the unique experiences of sexual minorities in these settings was previously under-researched. To address this gap in the literature, ARG's two-year research study in Austin, Texas, aimed to: Examine the components of a recovery residence serving MSM and understand how differed from general recovery residencies; and to identify the barriers or opportunities to opening and operating recovery residences for MSM and members of the LGBT community.
This study found that MSM-specific recovery housing is not only important, the care provided can lead to better long-term health outcomes for patients. The findings also highlighted the importance of creating organizational infrastructure and to support LGBT-specific recovery residences and members of the LGBT community who live there.
Advancing 50+ Years of Research with PHI's Alcohol Research Group
Founded over fifty years ago, PHI's Alcohol Research Group (ARG) is a multidisciplinary research center whose focus is to conduct research on alcohol use patterns and associated problems and dissemination of research findings. Their research team is comprised of epidemiologists, psychologists, economists and researchers in other disciplines.
In 2015, ARG published nearly 50 research articles, including one study that found privatization of liquor sales in Washington state resulted in substantially higher prices to consumers on average. ARG's Alcohol Research Center was also redesignated as a PAHO/WHO Collaborating Center on Alcohol Epidemiology and Injury through September 2019.
Assessing Familial Risk for Alcohol Use Disorders
Is it possible to identify clinical and historical features of Alcohol Use Disorder that reflect familial risk? Using longitudinal population data from Sweden, PHI's Alcohol Research Group collaborated with researchers from across the world to assess the effects of alcohol exposure to risk factors in the neighborhood environment, peer context and family system. Within the sample, they found a number of factors which strongly predicted the risk for Alcohol Use Disorder in relatives: age at first registration, number of registrations, recurrence and history of drug abuse.
Researching the Interaction of Mental Health and Social Support on Drug Relapse in Recovery Homes
Sober living houses (SLHs) offer an alcohol- and drug-free living environment to people with substance use disorders, and are becoming increasingly important as the addiction field continues to emphasize long-term services in communities that can facilitate sustained recovery over time.
A study led by PHI's Alcohol Research Group, "An Evaluation of Sober Living Houses," found that people who entered SLHs who were homeless or in unstable living arrangements improved their housing status over 18 months, and also showed improvement in psychiatric health. Housing status and psychiatric problems each independently predicted substance abuse outcomes. Social support also predicted better substance abuse outcomes for the entire sample—but it had the strongest, most consistent impact on persons with lower levels of psychiatric symptoms.
Studying Alcohol & Other Drugs Around the World
PHI's Alcohol Research Group (ARG) works to improve public health through a greater understanding of how alcohol and other drug use affects individuals, families, and our communities.
In 2017 alone, ARG scientists published almost 46 articles in peer-reviewed journals, worked on 30 different studies, presented 31 papers at conferences around the world, and collaborated with 35 countries.
Learn more about ARG's accomplishments in 2017.
Training the Next Generation of Alcohol Researchers
In collaboration with UC Berkeley's School of Public Health, the National Alcohol Research Center at PHI's Alcohol Research Group accepts 6-8 trainees annually to the Graduate Research Training on Alcohol Problems program.
With a diverse, multidisciplinary training faculty, the program trains the next generation of researchers in cutting-edge methods for studying the social epidemiology of alcohol and other drug problems, and related health services. Since its inception in 1971, hundreds of former participants have moved on to help advance the field through careers in academia, government and free-standing research institutes.
Uncovering Marijuana Usage Trends in the US
PHI's Alcohol Research Group, which has conducted several studies in recent years on marijuana use, published new research in 2017 finding a sharp increase in marijuana use in the U.S., particularly among women, whose rate of use has doubled since 1984. The researchers concluded that the higher usage rates are a reflection of society becoming more tolerant and accepting of marijuana use, rather than a direct result of medicinal or recreational marijuana legalization.

College seniors who have sent out resumes and interviewed with hiring managers might be ready to sit back and hope for a job offer, but their application process is far from complete.
Continue Reading Below
In the current competitive job market, following up after the interview has evolved beyond a common courtesy and into a necessary step.
"It shows us that they care, they want to work here, that we're not just one of six companies and whoever offers the most money is the offer you're going to take, so it's incredibly important and many do not do it," says Tony Knopp, CEO of ticket management company SpotlightTMS.
An effective follow up provides employers a sense for how a candidate might conduct themselves in a professional setting as an employee at that company, says Lindsey Pollak, career expert and author of Getting from College to Career.
"You want to show that you understand professionalism means showing up, following up, closing the loop on conversation, it means communicating regularly so you're advancing your job search but you're also demonstrating your professionalism, which is so crucial when the job market is so tough," she says.
For soon-to-be grads unsure of how to reconnect after the formal interview, here's what career experts say are the best ways to follow up and land the position.
Tip 1: Establish Contact Right Away
Sending a follow up email 12 to 24 hours after the interview shows initiative and allows job seekers to reference specifics from the conversation, says Dan Schawbel, career expert and author of Promote Yourself: The New Rules for Career Success.
"The way I would follow up is, 'it was great meeting you today, I learned a lot about the company and the position, I was especially interested in the fact that this job allows me to travel or whatever it would be based on what was discussed in the interview, and then say you're very interested in the position, and you look forward to hearing back,'" he says.
While it's important to send the email right away, applicants can set themselves apart in some workplace environments with a hand-written thank you note, suggests Pollak.
"If they're very formal, if it's a traditional company, you can't go wrong by sending a hand written note," she says. "If you're applying at a super fast paced internet company where the CEO is 27, an email is probably just fine but you have to read the situation and when in doubt, send the thank you note hand written."
Tip 2: Give Value to Second, Third Follow-Ups
Depending on whether or not employers give applicants a timeline of when they can expect to hear from them, the experts recommend reconnecting within a week to 10 days after the initial follow up.
It's important to add value to the conversation rather than aimlessly reaching out again and again, explains Pollak.
"Say, 'I recently read an article about the company and I was really excited to read about such and such' or 'I signed up for another class because you talked about how learning Excel is important to the job and I wanted to let you know I took your advice'--anything about that person or the company or you that adds some little piece of information," she says.
Knopp explains that job seekers shouldn't panic and get overzealous with reaching out if they haven't heard anything in a week or two.
"When people do say they're busy and they'll get back to you next week, they're not blowing you off as long as they're giving you a timeline, sometimes they just get busy," he says. "It's the approach and the syntax of the approach: I understand you've got a lot going on, I would love to come and take some of that off of your hands, please let me know and I really appreciate it."
Tip 3: Don't Stop Looking for Opportunities
If applicants have not heard back from a company after three follow ups, it's time to accept the company may not be a good fit and move on to other opportunities.
Schawbel explains that it's essential for job seekers to continue their search and treat it like a full time job until they have a written offer in hand.
"You can't put all your energy into that one position or that one company, you just have to apply to other jobs and keep interviewing," he says. "People will literally apply to a company, wait to hear back and just remain stagnant and then they don't get the position and then they've wasted all that time—it's a huge issue."
Although it can be frustrating not to hear any kind of response from employers, job seekers have to stay focused and move forward, says Knopp.
"It's an unfortunate reality that if they don't contact you back, you're not getting the job, but you don't want to work somewhere where you were the third choice."

Opal gossips with Jane at Jane's Addiction about what a snake David is. Brooke listens while Opal moves on to gossiping about what a hunk Zach is and asks her to come by the office later.
At Chandler Media, Brooke asks Opal to do color commentary on the red carpet the night of the gala. If it goes well it could be a regular thing. Ecstatic, Opal hugs Brooke and Dimitri and runs off to shop for her dress.
Opal runs up to Pete in the square and gushes about her new gig. He tells her about his status as the most eligible bachelor and she thinks that's fabulous if it keeps him from Colby.
Cassandra jerks when Colby touches her at the hospital but Colby keeps chatting. They are the kind of friends who are there for each other no matter what. Cassandra asks for some makeup Colby brought. Outside, Joe presents Dixie the check. She presses for details and figures out it was Billy Clyde. Meanwhile, Cassandra frantically wipes her face after her makeover. She screams but Colby refuses to leave. She holds Cassandra as she tells her about the repeated rapes. Cassandra wants an abortion. Colby backs her and assures her that Angie wants her to make the best choice for her life. Cassandra asks her to keep it a secret. Later, David finds Angie in the break room and is furious when he finds out Jesse left her in the dark. Angie is grateful she has David to lean on. So is he. Later, David comforts Colby too.
Dimitri and Brooke stop by Jane's Addiction before leaving town. While she is in the bathroom Dimitri answers her phone when Adam calls. Adam hangs up and later Brooke tries to call him back. Outside, Dixie hands Billy Clyde a letter, thanking him for helping AJ when he needed it. Maybe his spirituality isn't an act and she hopes it continues to guide him. He seems touched and thanks her.

The season schedule should be released late this month or early May. Once it's out I'll update the schedule to include links to the gameday forums on SA and also the gamebook on NFL.com
It should be pretty slick when it's all done.
IMO, you now need to make the other banners with the same color bg and font size/weight as the schedule. Or just not have them show up on the schedule page.
[Sent from my CM7 T-Mobile G2 via Tapatalk]
The two little advert banners, the one with the android app and the one with the podcast info.
oooooh, you mean change those up to match what it shows in the "2011 schedule banner"?
I'll have the schedule page updated tonight!

New Delhi: The recent criticism about his leadership skills, notwithstanding, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is still the "right choice" for Indian captaincy but he needs to be "more flexible in his tactics", feels former Pakistan skipper Wasim Akram.
Dhoni`s leadership skills came under the scanner in the on-going four-Test series against England, which India are trailing 1-2.
But Akram begs to differ, saying: "I am positive that Dhoni is the right choice to remain as captain, but he has to be more flexible in his tactics.
"You cannot throw the ball to a novice like Ravichandran Ashwin, like Dhoni did in Kolkata, and expect him to produce miracles. India and Dhoni, in particular, are lacking a Plan B when situations get tough, where they have seemed content in containing rather than attacking.
"If the team management feels that a policy of split-captaincy would release the pressure on Dhoni, then may be there is a need for change. But personally I would still have Dhoni over next-in-line Virat Kohli, who is too young to lead Team India," the legendary pacer added.
Akram, however, said veteran Sahin Tendulkar`s poor form is a matter of grave concern for the Indian team, which is presently going through a transition after the retirements of Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman.
"Rather than drastically overhauling the side, the Indian selectors have done the right thing in making a few changes to the squad. The most pressing concern is the form and future of Sachin Tendulkar," he said.
Akram also criticised left-arm pacer Zaheer Khan and said he looked unfit during the first three Tests against England.
"The on-going transition within the Indian squad has seen pace spearhead Zaheer Khan axed from the side after picking up just four wickets in three Tests versus England so far.
"Despite skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni publicly backing Zaheer, saying he was bowling in the right areas, it has been his alarming lack of pace that has left the English batsmen untroubled," he observed.
"It seems to me that Zaheer`s main problem stems from his fitness levels. His run-up is slow and lethargic while his follow-through is almost non-existent. Compare this to the English pacers, James Anderson and Steven Finn. They bowled their hearts out every delivery, constantly touched speeds of 140 kmph.
"Zaheer`s stock delivery is the reverse-swinging one, but for it to be effective he will have to run-in a lot faster. He is 34 years old and not getting any younger but if he can improve his physical condition by going back to first-class cricket then India can rely on Zak for a further two years at least," Akram added.

First I will say I googled (Binged to make Bill happy) for this but could not find anything, perhaps I am not stating what I need correctly;
I have a website that a customer creates orders (for a printing company) and after the order, I would like to email the customer a link to view the status of their order;
I need to send the CustomerID in the link so on the returning page if a CustomerID is detected in the querystring, I "auto login" the client and open the "Dashboard" for the order page for that customer.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to send the link and how to parse the querystring to get the values from the link;
Thank you if you can point me in the right direction.
Hi All,
I have a form which have some user input fields(like textboxes,dropdownlists,textarea etc) fields and a submit button.
on click i need to send email with body contents as all the details entered by user in the form
Can anyone suggest how i should approach to this in sharepoint..
any code examples would be appreciated.
I have a a list that recieves email. I have few fields that shows me the originator: "E-Mail From" and "E-Mail Sender".
I am trying to create a workflow that will generate an auto reply to the originator but the SPD fails to recognize the email address in these two fields. It's either truncating part of it or uses the html ( href=mailto:email@example.com) in
the To field.
Thank you,
I've got strange problem. I've created workflow with Visual studio 2008 which works fine. If workflow create task user gets email with alert and it works
- user gets email. The problem is that I would like to use Workflow component: "SendEmail" for some cases. And if I enter directly into component email address for field: "TO" the message will be delivered.
But if I use simple code with the same email address for field "TO" it doesn't work (field TO is empty now).
void sendEmail_ExecuteCode(object sender,
EventArgs e)
Hello ,
My site is hosted in Godaddy server. And i am
using google apps for emailing a/c for that i have changed the
MX-records and then it is working fine.
Then i finished my web site
it is working fine there .
in the site there is a contactus link which opens
this page basically should send a mail to a particular email id .
for sending mail I am using gmail a/c . (Here is the full code)
public void SendEmail(string From,string GmailEmail, string GmailPassword, string To, string Subject, string Body, FileUpload fileupload) { System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage(); mail.To.Add(To); mail.From = new MailAddress(From, "One Ghost", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8); mail.Subject = Subject; mail.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8; &n
Hi all,
I want to send html emails with one promo-banner inside. Have a look at my code... I try but with no success.
Dim strFrom, strTo, strSubject, strBody As String
Dim myMessage As MailMessage
Dim mySmtpClient As SmtpClient
strFrom = "SENDER<firstname.lastname@example.com>"
strTo = Session("eemaill")
strSubject = "HELLO THERE!"
strBody = "HELLO THIS IS MY MSG
" + _
" " + _
"

" + _
"THANK YOU"
myMessage = New MailMessage(strFrom, strTo, strSubject, strBody)
myMessage.IsBodyHtml = True
mySmtpClient = New SmtpClient("mail.example.com")
Thank you
am writing the bellow code to send email from a web page and recieve it via my hotmail email
MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage();
mailMessage.From = TextBox1.Text;
mailMessage.To = "email@example.com";
mailMessage.Subject = TextBox2.Text;
mailMessage.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text;
mailMessage.Body = TextBox3.Text;
mailMessage.Priority = MailPriority.Normal;
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "smtp.live.com";
but I recieve the bellow error
The server rejected the sender address. The server response was: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first
I use the OOB Workflow approval to approve items in a document library. Once the items are approved I want to send out an email alert to a group of people with "read" access. The problem is that the email alerts don't fire. I even changed the alerts to fire
on "All Changes", but still nothing coming through. I assume this is because of the workflow approval and perhaps that the event doesn't fire when an item gets published after approval?
But how can I get my readers to be notified of newly published (and approved) items? There must be a way of doing it?
the aspx:

<asp:ImageButton ID="ibSubmit" runat="server" ValidationGroup="vgContact" />

the jquery :
$(document).ready(function () {
// Add the page method call as an onclick handler for the div.
$(".contactSubmit").click(function () {
type: "POST",
url: "Home.aspx/GetDate",
data: "{}",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (msg) {
// Replace the div's content with the page method's return.
The problem is that I need to use the text in a text box in my webmethod, and I can't because it's static, this results in a compilation error:
public static string SendContactForm()

I just finished reading the 2005 rules
Was just wondering, the rules didn't really say how the turns work. Do players choose a minifig to move then do an action, then repeat that process until each minifig in their army has done something? Or do you just move one thing at a time, then the next player goes? Or maybe you go through the move/action/response thing in phases, where each player does movement, then each player does action etc.?
sorry if I sound like a retard

BOSTON, Mass. – One week after capturing the Division III New England Championship, the MIT women's track and field team picked up right where it left off, competing at the All-New England Championship at Boston University over the weekend. Five Engineers reached or improved their NCAA qualifying marks as the team finished 15th out of 33 teams from across all NCAA divisions.
Portia Jones led the way for the Cardinal and Grey, who are currently ranked 15th nationally. The freshman broke a pair of her own Institute records in the 200 and 400 meters. Her time of 56.77 in the 400 meters was good for sixth in the meet and is currently the third best time in the country. Jones followed that performance up by shattering her own record in the 200m (25.56) by over half a second. Martha Gross was also impressive in the 400, finishing in 59.88, a new personal record and the second best time in MIT history.
Andrea Bradshaw once again bettered her school-record in the 800 finishing in 2:15.00 in the preliminaries to qualify for the finals, before finishing ninth overall.
In the pole vault, Emily Hwang cleared 12-6 feet to break the previous MIT record by over seven inches as well as qualify automatically for the NCAA Championship.
Hazel Briner was back in action in the pentathlon, looking to improve upon her Institute record point total sent at last week's Division III New England Championship. After setting a new personal-record in the 55m hurdles (8.88), Briner ran a solid 800 (2:26.99) to finish with 3106 points, good for third place overall. That total places Briner 11th nationally heading into next weekend's ECAC Championship.
MIT accumulated 24 points to place 15th overall and second among Division III squads. Connecticut took home the top spot with 186.50 points.
Tech will take part in next weekend's ECAC Division III Championship hosted by Tufts University on Friday and Saturday.
