Physical examinations, skills/proficiency tests, and tests for drug and/or alcohol use are used by substantial minorities of workplaces; very few draw on intelligence/personality tests. Multilevel analyses demonstrate that organizational, environmental, and occupational properties are related to the five staffing methods Organizations display clear propensities to rely on a given method for selecting employees for different occupations, but there are substantial occupational variations in selection practices as well Differences are especially strong for physical examinations and drug/ alcohol tests, which are apt to be required in large, formalized establishments within multisite complexes; in unionized workplaces, and in non-managerial occupations In addition, drug tests are more often required when an es...

When we wrote our article, the field of social networks was in the process of emerging as a recognized area of study, though it had many precursors (Freeman 2004). Since then, interest in network phenomena has surged, engaging analysts from many disciplines. We began by observing that the concept of tie strength had been substantively fruitful, and interest in it remains high-indeed growing: Web of Science citations to Granovetter's classic (1973) statement about tie strength accelerated rapidly in the 2000s, exceeding 500 per year from 2009 to 2011. The much lower level of attention accorded to our article on its measurement follows a similar time path. Studies invoking the concept cover a broad substantive range: they examine topics including innovation (Ruef 2002), job searches (Harvey 2008), knowledge transfer (Levin and Cross 2004), minority social integration (Vervoort 2011), political participation (Lim 2008) and volunteering (Paik and Navarre-Jackson 2011), among many others. Studies of tie strength also span locations as disparate as China (e.g., Bian 1997) and Sweden (e.g., Korpi 2001). The most notable role of weak ties in social networks is their structural significance as connectivity-generating factors: they tend to be bridges that connect distant clusters within social structures. Weak ties are less subject to the closureproducing transitivity pressures that operate on stronger ones, and hence less likely to be confined within local social environments. Weak ties thereby facilitate the interpersonal dissemination of novel phenomena, be those useful information or harmful diseases. Strong ties too have their roles, of course, serving, for example, as dependable sources of social or emotional support (Granovetter 1982). If the presence of bridges is the primary concern, one might argue that measuring tie strength itself has become less necessary. The increased availability of data on "whole" social networks and myriad advances in methods for analyzing them now allow the direct identification of bridging ties within a network. Relationships having high "edge betweenness"-those that are found within large numbers of indirect paths joining pairs of actors in a network-are prone 90th Anniversary Reflections 17

Since then it has excavated sixteen sites and carried out numerous watching briefs. Most of the formal excavations have been conducted on the vital waterfront sites, made available for the first time, and on the Roman and medieval defences of the City. Important evidence of the elusive Saxon occupation is gradually coming to light, and the work is accompanied by specialist research, particularly finds, environmental and documentary.
