The causes of patterns of biodiversity are a topic of considerable research interest in ecology and conservation science, and many studies seek to explain observed spatial variation in diversity in various landscapes through correlation with a range of different factors such as species pool, land cover types, disturbance regime, heterogeneity, patch geometry and area and anthropogenic influences (Pärtel & Zobel 1999; Münzbergová 2004; Pierce et al. 2007; Klimek et al. 2008; Marini et al. 2008; Reitalu et al. 2008). There is a growing awareness in such studies that spatial scale is a critical determinant of which drivers are found to influence diversity (Gering & Crist 2002; Økland, Rydgren & Økland 2008; Lang et al. 2009), and that conservation methods seeking to maintain diversity within regions or landscapes must target management at the appropriate scale. Functional explanations for diversity, such as niche differentiation, disturbance, or neighbourhood recruitment limitation are also expected to have characteristic spatial scales in different systems (Hurtt & Pacala 1995; Tilman 1999; Økland, Rydgren & Økland 2008; Murrell 2010).
Measures of diversity
Conventionally, measures of biodiversity (Whittaker & Woodwell 1969; Whittaker 1972) recognize a distinction between local, or alpha (α-) and regional, or gamma (γ-) diversities. Beta (β-) diversity is then the diversity between habitats or sampling units, a conceptual bridge between these two discrete scales. β-diversity is caused by the tendency of individuals of the same species to be aggregated together in space, whether individualistically or in clearly defined communities. It is also clearly a function of both the grain size at which α-diversity is measured and the degree of 'patchiness' of the sampled domain within which γ-diversity is measured. Jurasinski et al. (2009) have suggested the term 'inventory diversity' for both α- and γ-diversity, as they are identical measures differing only in the spatial scales at which they are applied. These scales are usually the smallest sampling unit of a survey, or 'grain' as defined by Dungan et al. (2002) and the entire sampled domain or 'extent'. In most studies, α-diversity is assumed to be sampled comprehensively at the grain scale, whereas γ-diversity is approximated by pooling samples within the extent. For example, Martin, Moloney & Wilsey (2005) measured plant species α-diversity in 40 × 100 cm quadrats in prairie remnants and restoration sites and pooled data from eight quadrats from each site to estimate γ-diversity for each site.
Despite the widespread use of the concept, methods for quantifying β-diversity vary and the appropriateness of different methods, and of the concept itself, is much debated (Veech et al. 2002; Jost 2006; Jurasinski et al., 2009). Jurasinski et al. (2009) recommend the terminology 'differential diversity' to describe measures of compositional difference between samples, and 'proportional diversity' to describe comparisons between scales. As species distributions in natural environments tend to aggregate both in space and along environmental gradients, β-diversity may have two components:
- 1environmental variation, because of species aggregation along environmental or disturbance gradients within the domain, which may or may not have spatial structure at the given grain size;
- 2spatial aggregation that is independent of environmental variation, due to the inherent patchiness of species distributions, for example, determined by biotic processes such as competitive exclusion and recruitment limitation, clonality or stochastic population processes.
In the original definitions of Whittaker (1972)β-diversity was defined as the ratio β = γ/α. An alternative definition of γ = α + β has become widely used, allowing the additive partitioning of components of diversity (Lande 1996; Veech et al. 2002). This approach has the advantage that β shares the same units as α and γ, but suffers from the disadvantage that β is not independent of α, and therefore cannot be compared between sites (Jost 2007), and that β-diversity defined in this way does not recognize the degree of difference or similarity between samples. Diversity in this context is conventionally measured as species richness (simply the total number of species recorded in a sample), or with indices such as the Gini–Simpson index (Simpson 1949) or Shannon index (Weaver & Shannon 1949). However, both of the latter indices are constrained to values between 0 and 1, and may give non-intuitive results (Jost 2006). It has been argued that transforming such indices into true measures of diversity, with units commensurate with species richness, as 'Hill numbers', or 'numbers equivalent' (Hill 1973; Jost 2006) provides a more intuitive measure of diversity. Following Jost (2007), the Gini–Simpson index (and its paired-sample spatial equivalent) is here referred to as a diversity index and denoted by the symbol H; Jost's numbers equivalent, or 'true diversity' (and its paired-sample equivalent) is denoted by the symbol D.
The concept of additive partitioning of diversity has been used to compare diversity across discrete spatial scales, and for attributing determinants of species diversity within different sized sampling units (Klimek et al. 2008). In the additive partitioning framework, α-diversity across a hierarchy of nested spatial scales can be expressed as αx = αx-1 + βx-1, where diversity αx measured at the xth level of a scale hierarchy is the sum of the mean α-diversity and the β-diversity between samples at the x - 1th level (Wagner et al. 2000). However, in addition to the theoretical drawbacks with the additive definition of β-diversity (Jost 2007), one clear drawback with this method is that the scales at which diversity is measured are subjective and defined by the sampling design. If species are spatially aggregated at a scale greater than the distance between samples at which α-diversity is measured, then samples may not be independent and pooled-sample estimates of γ-diversity will be biased. Furthermore, a sampling design in which samples is selected from within clearly identifiable communities or habitats will under-sample ecotones and edge habitats and potentially underestimate the average diversity of a landscape sector. This is particularly important as in many ecosystems transition zones between communities are regions of increased biodiversity (Smith et al. 1997; Kark et al. 2007).
The concept of β-diversity is often considered as a measure of species turnover along spatial or environmental gradients. Vellend (2001), however, has shown that the most frequently used methods of calculating it are independent of the distributions of species on either spatial or environmental gradients and recommends plotting similarity-distance graphs to show the rate of species turnover per unit distance.
Ecologists have long made use of spatial statistical methods including semivariogram analysis (Garrigues et al. 2006) and spatial autocorrelation (Fortin, Drapeau & Legendre 1989) to provide spatial equivalents of statistical properties of populations (in these cases correlation coefficients or variance), and to describe spatial structure and pattern in ecosystems. This approach has been extended to spatial patterns of diversity by plotting the spatial covariance of species richness ('variogram of complimentarity'; Wagner 2003; Bacaro & Ricotta 2007). Condit et al. (2002) and Chave & Leigh (2002) calculate a 'similarity function' representing the probability that two trees separated by a given distance in a forest plot belong to the same species. This function is essentially a paired-sample version of the Simpson concentration, which is equal to unity minus the Gini–Simpson index of diversity. We propose a similar method for spatially explicit analysis of species diversity, based on a paired-sample version of the Gini–Simpson diversity index (Simpson 1949; Pielou 1969) and its numbers equivalent (Jost 2006). This method has the advantage that it is in units directly comparable to a commonly used measure of α- and γ-diversity. The method is suitable for systematic or random sampling designs and requires no prior assumptions about the spatial arrangement of communities other than the choice of appropriate grain size and spacing of the sampling unit and the domain of the sample. The method is also similar in approach to spatial statistical techniques such as variography (Fortin & Dale 2005), paired-quadrat variance methods (Schaefer & Messier 1994; Guo & Kelly 2004), similarity-distance graphs (Vellend 2001) and 'variograms of complementarity' (Wagner 2003) in that a characteristic of paired samples is plotted against the lag, or distance between samples in space and/or along a environmental gradient. Unlike the former approaches, the proposed method is based on analysing the spatial structure of diversity rather than patterns in the distribution of a single species or variable and measurements are in units commensurate with α- and γ-diversity.
Study system
To demonstrate the potential of this method we apply it to a fine-scale vegetation survey and hydrological dataset collected for a separate study. Vegetation data were collected at 5-cm intervals along two 10-m transects at plots of contrasting hydrology at a raised bog in Cumbria, UK. The main environmental gradient at the site, variation in surface height above the water table, was measured at each plot using hydrological data loggers in conjunction with a terrestrial laser scanner to accurately measure surface topography (Anderson, Bennie & Wetherelt 2010a). Intact peat bogs typically show distinct patterns in hummock-hollow topography which is associated with fine-scale patterns in species composition, particularly of Sphagnum species (Nordbakken 1996; Økland, Rydgren & Økland 2008). Interactions between individual Sphagnum plants necessarily occur at a fine spatial scale (<10 cm) and experimental studies have shown that whether species are grown in monocultures or mixtures (and hence the relative importance of inter- and intra-specific interactions) has marked effects on height increment and cover changes (Robroek et al. 2007). Previous studies at this site have shown that the characteristic scale of remotely sensed surface (shrub canopy structure and Sphagnum microtopography) reflects hydrological status (Anderson et al. 2010b).

The Senate Armed Services Committee believes the new National Cyber Security Initiative (NCSI) is too secret to have much value as deterrence.
In excerpts from the committee's report on the 2009 defense authorization act, published by Steven Aftergood on the Federation of American Scientists secrecy blog, the committee expresses concern about the secrecy surrounding the NCSI.
"These restrictions preclude public education, awareness, and debate about the policy and legal issues, real or imagined, that the initiative poses in the areas of privacy and civil liberties," the committee's report says. "Without such debate and awareness in such important and sensitive areas, it is likely that the initiative will make slow or modest progress. The committee strongly urges the administration to reconsider the necessity and wisdom of the blanket, indiscriminate classification levels established for the initiative."
At the RSA Conference in April, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff compared the government's attempt to improve national cyber security to the intensive effort of the Manhattan Project that brought the atomic bomb to fruition.
In January, President Bush signed an order that gave DHS and the National Security Agency greater power to oversee government computer security. Details about what the agencies are doing remain classified. One aspect of the plan, Chertoff said in April, was to reduce the number of network access points into federal agencies from about 1,000 to about 50.
While secrecy remains a cornerstone of computer security inside and outside the government, the Senate committee points out that the administration aims to "develop an information warfare deterrence strategy and declaratory doctrine, much as the superpowers did during the Cold War for nuclear conflict."
That being the case, the committee argues that potential enemies will not be scared away if there's no information available to suggest the presence of formidable defenses.
"It is difficult to conceive how the United States could promulgate a meaningful deterrence doctrine if every aspect of our capabilities and operational concepts is classified," the committee report says.
To highlight the difficulty of deterrence through secrecy, Aftergood in his blog cites Dr. Strangelove: "The whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost if you keep it a secret!"
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

Roto Riteup — Presented By DraftKings: May 16, 2014
Today is the 28th anniversary of the film "TOP GUN." If this isn't one of the most iconic scenes from the 80's, then I don't know what is.
On today's agenda:
1. Phil Hughes continues to cruise
2. Jon Singleton is close…ish
3. Assorted disabled list moves
4. The Daily Five
Phil Hughes continues to cruise
After holding the visiting Boston Red Sox to one run in six innings, Hughes now has five straight quality starts. He hasn't allowed a walk since April 20, a streak that coincides with his current streak of QS. Over that time frame Hughes has beaten Detroit twice plus Baltimore, Kansas City and now Boston. Prior to yesterday's eight strikeout affair, Hughes only had 15 strikeouts in his previous four outings. He gathered 15 swinging strikes out of 97 pitches, despite tons of whiffs never being a part of Hughes' game. As long as he continues to play at home or in spacious parks on the road, his extreme fly ball tendencies shouldn't hurt him too much. Hughes gets enough strikeouts to be relevant in mixed leagues as a spot starter or at least a stream option. Since the start of the 2013 season he leads the league (among starters with at least 180 innings pitched) with an incredible 71.3% first strike percentage. During that same time frame Hughes' 31.3% ground ball rate is the lowest in baseball. If you can stomach the occasional dinger, Hughes can be a useful fantasy piece. He is currently owned in 48% of CBS leagues but just 20% of Yahoo! formats and not even 10% of ESPN leagues.
Jon Singleton is close…ish
The exact words Houston Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow used to describe Singleton was "on deck." Exactly when the prospect will get the call remains to be seen, however with the super two deadline looming, it will probably be five to six weeks. The slugging first baseman currently sports a cool .293/.401/.629 line with 12 dingers. That triple slash translates to a 158 wRC+ in the Pacific Coast League. Present first base options have consisted of a bit of Chris Carter, but mostly a mix of Jesus Guzman and Marc Krauss, a combo that owns a .199/.309/.338 and a 29.1% strikeout rate together. In deeper leagues I'd make a play for Singleton now, but in a standard 12-team redraft mixed league he just doesn't offer enough right now to warrant ownership. Add him to your watch list as I think once Singleton gets called up he'll hit well enough to justify a roster spot in 12-team leagues.
Assorted disabled list moves
The Cincinnati Reds moved Mat Latos from the 15-day to the 60-day despite a strong bullpen session. It was a move that was largely procedural. It frees up a slot on the 40-man roster for a few weeks as the Reds await his return from dealing with a strained flexor mass tendon in his right arm. The club is aiming at an early June return for Latos.
Wandy Rodriguez was activated from the 15-day DL by the Pittsburgh Pirates and threw five innings of two-run ball yesterday. Wandy allowed one walk, four hits and struck out four on the day. Both runs were solo homers and now Wandy's seasonal 26.5% HR/FB% is the highest in baseball (minimum 20 IP). I'd leave him to the waiver wire until he can string some starts together without allowing so many hard hit balls.
After some speculation, Colby Rasmus was placed on the 15-day DL by the Toronto Blue Jays with hamstring tightness. The move is being made retroactive to May 13 and hopefully will get the outfielder back on the field as soon as possible. Following a miserable April where Rasmus hit for a 69 wRC+, his May was excellent, popping five home runs in not even two weeks. The Jays called up Anthony Gose to take Rasmus' roster spot. Gose offers steals, though I'm not sure he'll be able to reach base often enough to really be an asset.
The New York Yankees placed Carlos Beltran on the 15-day disabled list due to a bone spur in his right elbow. Surgery hasn't been ruled out just yet, as it seems as though the club will reevaluate Beltran in two weeks. If they decide surgery is the best option, a six to eight week time frame is estimated for recovery.
The Daily Five
Starting Pitcher: Zack Greinke — $11,300
Greinke takes on the Arizona
Cardinals Diamondbacks, and while it is the offense friendly Chase Field, the D-Backs have struggled against right-handed pitchers. As a team they own just a 89 wRC+ for the season when facing a righty.
Starting Pitcher: Ervin Santana — $11,100
The St. Louis Cardinals have hit a collective 95 wRC+ against righties this season. Their .365 slugging against righties ranks 24th in baseball.
Infielder: James Loney — $3,500
A bit of a budget pick here, though the Tampa Bay Rays do tend to hit right-handers quite well with a 104 wRC+ as a club.
Outfielder: Ben Revere — $3,300
For his career, Revere hits better against left-handed hitters but given Alfredo Simon's ground ball tendencies, I like Revere to leg out some infield hits and get some steals.
Other Hitter: John Jaso — $4.200
Jaso is hitting a scorching .317/.400/.537 against opposite-handed pitchers this season. For his career he's hammered righties to the tune of a 129 wRC+ and he should have a big day today against Zach McAllister.
Remaining budget: $16,600

The trip also involved a sail-past of the Paracas Candelabra - a 180 metre geoglyph which is thought to be more than 2000 years old. No-one really knows what it means or who made it, but it looks like someone must have been talking to those giant-graffiti loving Nazca folk.

Is the Price Too High for All-Star David Price?
Teams Trading an All-Star Pitcher During an All-Star Season Rarely Get Full Return
David Price, the American League's strikeout leader, is arguably the best starting pitcher to be available on the trade market since Tom Seaver, so it's understandable that the floundering, payroll-challenged Tampa Bay Rays are having a hard time letting him go.
Perhaps they're also aware that teams trading an all-star pitcher during an all-star season rarely get full return. There have been nine trades of this type since the 1977 Seaver deal, and in almost every case, the team parting with their ace got paltry return. In fact, among the 27 players received for the all-stars, only two would make an all-star team for the team that traded for him.
Starting pitcher Pat Zachry, one of four players the New York Mets received for Seaver, was a prospect at the time. He represented New York in the 1978 All-Star Game but still never won more than 10 games in a season. The Mets got better returns when they received second baseman Jeff Kent for David Cone in 1992, but Kent's best years came later in San Francisco, not Queens.
Similarly, other notable players included in these deals, like shortstop Jay Bell (to the Cleveland Indians for Burt Blyleven in 1985) and pitcher Dave Stewart (to the Texas Rangers for Rick Honeycutt in 1983) became All-Stars elsewhere.
Price's impending free agency complicates matters for any suitors, who may be hesitant to give up too much for a player that might not stay long term.
Oddly, if Price were dealt, it would be the second trade of this kind this year. In early July, the Chicago Cubs traded All-Star Jeff Samardzija to the Oakland A's for a package headed by one of the game's top prospects, shortstop Addison Russell. But they had to throw in another quality starter, Jason Hammel, to get him.

Previewing lighting and shadows
Previewing lighting and shadows
When you start to add lights to a scene, Maya will allow you to preview how the lighting looks and also how the shadows look without the need to constantly create renders. So, I am going to add a spotlight to the scene just by clicking on this icon in the Rendering shelf to add a spotlight. I'll use the Move tool to drag it up; I am going to drag it over here. I want to go to Panels > Look Through Selected Cameras so I can see through the spotlight. This allows me to easily position it.
I have the Attribute Editor opened up to the spotLightShape1 tab so that I can adjust the settings of the light, and I am going to increase the Cone Angle. I'll switch back to my Perspective view. And now, if I want to see how this lighting is going to look, I'll go into the Lighting window and choose Use All Lights. The hotkey for this is just the number 7. Now, I can see how the light cone angle is going to work in the scene and where the light is coming from. So, if I adjust the cone angle, you can see how that affects the light in the scene.
I want to set me Renderer to High- Quality Rendering, and that will allow me to see the cone angle a little bit more accurately. It's more nicely defined. If I want to see how the shadows are going to look in the scene, or where the shadows are coming from, I'll go into the Lighting menu, and I'll turn on Shadows. I am not going to see anything yet until I actually add some shadows to the light. So, if I am in the Attribute Editor for the spotLightShape, I'll just go on, and I'll turn Use Depth Map Shadows.
This works for both depth map shadows and raytraced shadows. So, I'll turn on Shadows, and now as I position the light, you can see what that shadow is going to look like, without the need to create a test render. I can also preview the penumbra angle, basically the softness of the edge of the spotlight, so if I start to increase this, you can see how that's getting nice and soft. Now, it can also preview the drop off, the intensity of the center of the light as it hits the surface, as opposed to the edge.
So, now before even creating a test render, I have a good idea of what that lighting is going to look like. If I do a render of the scene, you can see how well it matches. At this point, I can start to adjust the quality of my shadows, but I have already established where the light is coming from, and I previewed it in the scene, which can be very convenient and save you time when you're working with the lights.

Jason Bay signed a four-year, $66 million deal with the New York Mets during the offseason. He left Boston for the Big Apple, and moved his family from their home in Seattle to Westchester County. On Monday, Bay is set to open his eighth major league season, but his first playing left field for the Mets. The day before his debut, the Canadian-born outfielder chatted with ESPNNewYork.com about six things he's already learned about life in Flushing.
1. The clubhouse isn't as foreign as he thought. The first day Bay walked into the Mets' clubhouse in spring training, he immediately was greeted by old friends. "It was actually kind of calming when I got there," Bay says while sitting in front of his Citi Field locker. "The first person I see is Alex Cora, who I played with up in Boston. And I had played against David Wright and Jeff Francoeur, so I knew them a little bit. I played with Mike Jacobs in the minor leagues, Nelson Figueroa, Josh Fogg, I saw all these guys I didn't really realize I knew so well. It kind of made me feel that I had been there a lot longer than I had. And because of that, I instantly had a sense of ease, like, 'Man, I know a lot more people than I thought.'"
2. The media isn't all that different in New York than Boston. When Bay was traded to the Red Sox for Manny Ramirez at the 2008 trading deadline, he went from small-town Pittsburgh to a Boston crush. So far, Bay hasn't noticed much difference between the spotlight in Boston and New York. But he was warned. "A lot of people just say, 'Use your words carefully,'" Bay says. "Because sometimes something comes up not in the context you meant it. In Boston, everyone is a Red Sox fan. In New York, the sports teams are a big deal, don't get me wrong, but at the end of the day, there's other stuff going on in the city of New York too that can get a front page [of a tabloid]."
3. The team chefs are the best. One of the first differences Bay noticed was the food. And he wasn't alone. "The clubhouse food is by far the best I've ever had in spring training," he says. "I wasn't the only one: It was mentioned by numerous major league veterans. The variety of the food that was put out and the quality of the food made it the best. You've got 60 guys and coaches [to feed] and they went above and beyond. It's the first thing everyone noticed. I've been in a lot of clubhouses, and this was by far the best food. They make the best oatmeal in the world. It's from scratch, with some cinnamon and nutmeg. It's phenomenal."
4. It's hard to remember all the names. Everyone here knows Bay's name, but it's been very hard for him to feel entirely comfortable because he hasn't learned all the others yet. "I hate when people say, 'Hey Jason, how you doing?' and I'm like, 'Hey, buddy, how's it going? There you are.' I pride myself on knowing people's names; you switch teams and you've got front office, clubhouse, all these people -- it drives me nuts not knowing people's names. Somebody said so-and-so has my keys -- well, who is that?"
5. He's got the lingo down, but the roads aren't easy to navigate. Right after Bay signed his deal, he and his wife Kristen spent a day house-shopping in Westchester, about 30 minutes north of the city. They looked at 10 houses and decided on one and two weeks later were homeowners. They wanted enough space for their two daughters; otherwise Bay would have lived in Manhattan. But navigating his way in and out of the city hasn't been as easy, even if he's already learned that it's the Hutchinson Parkway he needs to take back. "I missed it on the way home [Saturday] night -- I got lost," he says. "I finally swallowed my pride, pulled over, and put my address in the navigation. I drove around long enough saying, 'I can do this, I got this.' The roads are horrendous, I'll give you that. The roads are real bad. I need to get an EZ-Pass because the cash lane lineup for tolls is a pain."
6. He had to become a Met to get a personally autographed curling jersey. A native of British Columbia, Bay played hockey, of course, but he also curled. When Francoeur's father was on business in Edmonton a week after the Olympics ended, he went to Kevin Martin's curling complex. Martin is a superstar in Canada, and had just won the gold medal. The clerk at the counter, an Atlanta native, recognized Francoeur's last name, and the next day, Jeff's dad had a gift for his son's newest teammate. "I was the resident curling expert during spring training," Bay says. "I was getting bombarded with questions, just like in '06, it ends up being everyone's favorite thing to watch. So I ended up being the curling analyst. And then two days after it was over, Francoeur said, 'Take a look at this,' and I was like, 'How would you even go about getting that?' It was like a week after the Olympics. It's very true that no teammate had done anything like that for me before."

Regulations regarding special benefits and other payments turn a simple proposition into a legal landmine. Armed with the strategies you'll gain at this seminar, you'll handle payroll accurately, legally, and with complete confidence.Every employee's paycheck presents a different challenge. After this seminar, you'll know which forms to use when and, most important, how to keep your company out of hot water with the DOL and state agencies. It's their job to catch you in a mistake.

The philosophy has created moments in our own history when we decided to go against the grain of our industry. We were the first agency to become financially transparent. We were the first agency to create a micro network to serve global business. We were the first agency to recognise the need for channel planning to be at the heart of all creative development so we created a discipline called Engagement planning.
Engagement planning, not to be confused with media planning, is focused on understanding the consumer journey, bringing clarity to the roles different channels play in the marketing mix, identifying how brands can be built through interaction and participation, and most importantly using disruptive channel thinking to get to bigger ideas that deliver a step change in communication effectiveness.
At BBH, we believe in one central belief; that big, enduring ideas are the key to successful communications that create value for our Clients. It was true in 1982. It is even more true today. And in an increasingly complex and competitive world, it will be truer still tomorrow. So everything we do and all our structures support that single thought.

And what would you suggest to fix it?
As a Creative Director, you must surely be able to critique work in a more intellectual fashion.
Or you just don't do that in France?
Yeah Brenda, I would expect that from a pleb like myself but I would not put CD as my title if I were going to comment like that....

AbstractThe 5XXX-series aluminum alloys have high strength-to-weight ratios, good as-welded strength and excellent corrosion resistance. Changes in physical properties as a result of degradation processes of 5XXX-series (e.g., 5083, 5383, 5059) aluminum alloys are not completely understood. The susceptibility of 5XXX-series aluminum alloys to localized corrosion and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) can take place over time, and is accelerated under aggressive environmental, geometric, and structural conditions. In this proposal, Intelligent Automation, Inc. (IAI) along with Southwest Research Institute (SWRI) proposes to develop a self-powered multi-parameter wireless smart sensor network (Wi-Corr) for real-time monitoring of the corrosion in 5XXX-series aluminum alloys in combination with environmental conditions.

New Jersey: 4 police officers investigated over anti-gay violent rap video

A homophobic black? We haven't had one of those in about 12 minutes.
Congratulations on being a racist piece of shit.
I'll add you sad sack of crap
I dont think its neccesarily racist to aknowledge that the black community has a homophobia problem that is over and above the homophobia problem that exists in non black communities. Thats just a fact. Same with guns and gangs. Although they also exist in non black communities of course, the black community has a REAL problem with them. Guns and gangs and homophobia are all more prevelent in black culture
I agree, it makes no sense to ignore statistically proven fact in favour of political correctness. It doesn't make one racist to point out actual truths.
It might be uncomfortable, and it can be stated with more decorum and intelligence than Eddy supplied, but we shouldn't simply brand anyone who dares to make such a connection as immediately racist.
Is it equally racist to point out that the vast majority of those incarcerated in the USA are are also either Black American or Hispanic? It's true, statistical fact whether we like it or not. The real discussion is why that is so. Is it racism in the courts and legal system, or is it a cultural problem?
I think Eddy could have worded that response a little differently, and elaborated on it a little more. But lets not simply dismiss facts because some might not understand the fundamental talking point.
Are New Jersey police officers really allowed to get so fat? And I DO hope that's fake fur…
Hahaha, that's funny!! Maybe, it's a triple layer bullet-proof vest!
Seems fitting, the cops are just another street gang in dark blue, the only difference is they have a contract with the city and the Crips don't.
And these thug acting dudes are the ones that are entrusted to enforce the law? I say who are guarding the guardians.
Someone needs to ask LOUDLY what it is about homosexuality that so disturbs individuals like this. Is it simply 'projection" – inner self-loathing manifesting itself as hatred of those traits they fear most in themselves?. Someone who is secure in their sexuality is NEVER homophobic. So guys, you've been rumbled. You protest too loudly.
Scary! Feel so sorry for people living in Irvington! Hope the investigation is thorough and the officers involved dealt with.
"has no impact on my duties as an officer" . .yeah it doesnt really work like that you fool. He should be showing respect at ALL times and upholding good ethical behaviour at all times. Not just when in the uniform. A job like that doesnt really end when you take off your police helmet at the end of the day. Policemen need to EMBODY the things that they represent
A cop does not act like this, i have people in my family who are in the military and when they are serving or not they give respect to that oath and badge just like cops. He has freedom of speech but with that freedom comes with respect and dignity for your fellow man, using homophobic does not make you a rapper it makes you a joke.

A new statement released by Prime Minister David Cameron's former strategy director Steve Hilton reveals how Whitehall officials stressed to the PM how it would be impossible to meet his net migration target as a member of the EU.
Heavy criticism has already been levelled against Cameron for failing to deliver on the promise made in his 2010 Party Manifesto to reduce net migration to the tens of thousands.
Eurosceptics were quick to gloat that to reduce net migration to such figures was a fantasy - the free movement of people within the EU is non-negotiable and the only way to achieve this kind of level of net migration is if we leave the EU. And six years on, net migration reached 333,000, the second highest on record.
Therefore, it is unsurprising that this fibbing and fumbling on the issue of immigration has led Hilton to side unequivocally with the Brexit campaign. He argues that:
"…our immigration system is completely broken, and as long as we're in the EU, our elected governments are powerless to fix it."
Hilton believes that for the PM to push for such a demonstrably undeliverable 'pledge' (reducing net migration has been downgraded from a promise to a pledge) today, whilst campaigning to remain in the EU, is "corrosive of trust in politics."
Regardless of whether leaving the EU would reduce net migration to the tens of thousands, what is true is that for the PM to make such unfounded promises reflects his total lack of leadership. It also demonstrates his unwillingness to address and tackle the public's concerns about immigration with any hint of honesty and realism.
It is simply just another case of the PM playing a clever PR game; trying his best to appease and pander to the immigration concerns that a significant proportion of the public have, whilst knowing full well that all he is doing is paying lip service.
It's no wonder that the public in general have become so apathetic about British politics, given that our PM lies about a major issue like immigration, gets hounded for it, but continues pushing the lie anyway - because it scores him political points.
Lies are harmful to any campaign. The misinformation that the Leave campaign has been accused of perpetuating have seen many voters to accuse the campaign of fear-mongering. However, with these comments from Hilton so close to Referendum day, they could dissuade many voters from trusting anything Cameron has to say in regards to staying in the EU.
This could prove to be very damaging indeed.

Braun's Contract Latest In Trend Of Deals For Young MLB Stars
Published May 16, 2008
|Braun Signs Largest Contract In Brewers' History
Marlins To Formally Announce Six-Year,
$70M Contract Extension Over Weekend
ECONOMIC IMPACT: MLB Commissioner Bud Selig at the MLB Owners meetings Thursday said of the new trend of contracts for young players, "We talked a lot about that. It certainly depends on the player, but I'm sure teams will continue to seek out (these kinds of deals). It's certainly a function, in some ways, of our current economic situation" (Eric Fisher, SportsBusiness Journal). Meanwhile, Fox' Ken Rosenthal said that Braun's deal was an "indication that revenue sharing in baseball is having an effect." Rosenthal: "If not for revenue sharing, the Brewers probably wouldn't have been able to lock up [Braun]. It's good for the game" (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 5/16).
NOT DEALING WITH THE DEVIL: The Rays Wednesday signed P Scott Kazmir to a three-year, $28.5M extension, and in St. Petersburg, Gary Shelton wrote it was a "terrific signing for the Rays." For a team that "isn't exactly swimming in payroll, they keep investing in their own products." The deal is "one more piece of evidence that this front office has a plan." The Rays are "certain enough of their blueprint, confident enough in their evaluations and committed enough to spend the money" (ST. PETERSBURG TIMES, 5/15).

School Supply List
There is not a specific supply list that we publish for SHS. Each child is given an individual schedule and makes it near impossible to distribute a supply list for all our courses. We suggest general supplies to start the year (pens, pencils, binders, paper, ruler, paperclips, etc.) and teachers will give more specific suggestions once classes start. We also suggest reviewing the Monroe County dress code below as you prepare for the upcoming year. Most students will have a maximum of seven courses to begin the school year. Hope this helps!
Current - Monroe County Dress Code
Our Mission
The mission of Sweetwater High School is to provide each student with the opportunity to be college and/or career ready by providing a supportive environment, a variety of learning strategies, and a rigorous standards-based curriculum.
Our Vision
The vision of Sweetwater High School is to graduate all students with skills to function, adapt, and contribute to an ever changing world, enabling them to thrive in a global society.
