The 2012-13 NHL season is now in serious jeopardy. For how long, and can the league recover? What do fans do while they wait.
Europe isn't just a popular destination for vacations. It's also a popular destination for out-of-work NHLers looking to play during a long lockout.
Former 1st round draft pick Riku Helenius, coming off a strong season in Europe, has interest in playing in North America again.
With less than a month until the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, mock drafts of what the Lightning will do are becoming easier to find, with little consistency.

The Barefoot Farmer (Jeff Poppen) uses his farm (Long Hungry Creek Farm) as an example in demonstrating good farming principles. The landscape and atmosphere of the 21st century is leaning away from a small farm economy, bucolic scenery, sustainable agriculture and homegrown meals. The health of ourselves and our environment can only be enhanced by a reliance on local small farms for our needs. To learn more about these principle join Jeff Poppen with his weekly column - Barefoot Farmer.

The "ultracold" part of the Midlands Physics Alliance targets cutting-edge interdisciplinary research at the rapidly evolving interface between cold atom, condensed matter, and optical physics. It joins more than 15 research groups in theoretical and experimental cold atom physics in a strategic partnership between the Universities of Birmingham, Nottingham, and Warwick. more...
A Knowledge Transfer Secondment has been established between MUARC and the company M Squared Lasers in Glasgow. Starting from September, Komal Pahwa, a PhD student of MUARC, is helping M Squared to develop laser and electronic systems for cold-atom-based sensors. The partnership will lead to a new generation of commercial quantum sensors.
Dr Nils Hempler, head of Innovation, Dr Graeme Malcolm, CEO, and Komal Pahwa in front of the first cold atom set-up in a UK company.
In this interview Prof. Chris Rogers, leader of Mapping the Underworld project, explains the crucial role that gravity-mapping technologies such as GGtop will play in the design of tomorrow's cities. By promoting unprecedented collaboration between quantum scientists and civil engineers, the GGtop project develops some of the tools that will facilitate the creation of more sustainable urban environments.
The iSense and GGtop projects, both led by MUARC, were showcased at the ICT 2013 conference in Vilnius, 6-8 November 2013. The cold atom demonstrator drew crowds as the information and communication technology community was keen to learn about laser cooling and how the use of matterwaves can make better sensors. This was a great way to show that cold atoms are not confined to laboratories any more and that the technology is ready to be used in the field.
Visitors of ICT 2013 gather around the iSense cold atom demonstrator to check the "coolest place in Vilnius."
The iSense team in Birmingham reports on the creation of a magneto-optical trap (MOT) of Rubidium atoms using a low power atom chip designed and built at the University of Nottingham. This is the first step towards creating a compact gravity measurement device.
The atoms are trapped in a mirror MOT configuration using four laser beams, two of which are reflected from the chip surface. The magnetic fields are generated inside the chamber by the chip assembly.
In the next stage we will integrate compact lasers and electronics from our European partners. Upon completion, iSense will produce atom interferometry signals to measure gravity in the field.
Left: trapped atoms fluorescing and their reflection from the chip surface. Right: the iSense vacuum chamber featuring the gold-coated atom chip assembly.
For the second time, the Midlands Physics Alliance Graduate School (MPAGS), in collaboration with the University of Granada, is organizing a summer school that will be held in Granada, Spain, 15-19 September 2013.
This School, "Quantum Matter: Foundations and Applications", will feature tutorial-style lectures introducing themes of broad interest in the areas of cold atoms and molecules, quantum optics and condensed matter physics, quantum information and quantum interference and precision measurements.
Apply online. Application deadline is 30 June.
The team of the "disorder" experiment has achieved the Bose-Einstein condensation of Rubidium in their combined-species Rubidium-Potassium apparatus. The condensate was obtained after magnetically transporting a cloud of laser-cooled atoms in a science cell, and performing evaporative cooling first in the magnetic trap and then in a light dipole trap. The pictures below show the anisotropic expansion of the condensate. The thermal cloud, seen as a halo, expands isotropically.
Next steps will be to include fermionic Potassium and to study the combined dynamics in arbitrary two-dimensional potentials.
In the last issue of InnovOil, GG-TOP leader Kai Bongs explains the prospects and benefits of gravity gradient mapping with cold atom technology.
8th April 2013 to 12th April 2013
YAO is a yearly conference whose main goal is to create an international society of young scientists who specialize in quantum optics with a special focus on cold atomic gases. During these meetings experimentalists as well as theorists have a chance to present their research and results while also taking part in thought provoking discussions on their topics, whether it be in the form of a short presentation or a poster during the poster session. The participants of this conference are usually young doctoral students, but the conference is also open to masters students or really any young scientist who are beginning their work in the field of atomic physics. Apply here before Friday 22 February 2013.
In the context of the Quantum Simulator project, the first magneto-optical trap for rubidium and potassium in the Quantum Matter group has beeen realised. The atoms are first trapped in a 2-dimensional magneto-optical trap to create a cold atom beam and then transferred by a pushing beam into another vacuum chamber where both species are retrapped by a six beam magneto-optical trap.
Our work on sub-Doppler polarization spectroscopy and magnetic dichroism (ie, DAVLL) of potassium has been published in Optics Express [Opt. Exp. 20, 17456 (2012), arXiv:1205.0459]. The focus is on frequency-stabilizing lasers for experiments with cold atoms. This is a companion piece to our earlier work using modulation spectroscopy [J. Phys. B 45, 065002 (2012), arXiv:112.4998]. We plan to use our modified form of magnetically-induced dichroism in our experiment with cold atoms in a high-finesse ring cavity.
Magneto-optical traps (MOT) in a high vacuum environment require a bright source of pre-cooled atoms. For Strontium, the standard technology is an atomic beam slowed down by laser from a hot oven. For the Strontium clock at Birmingham, we have implemented an alternative technology, borrowed from experiments which use alkaline atoms: a 2-dimensional magneto-optical trap which produces a stream of collimated atoms at one end of the trap. The magnetic quadrupole field is produced by permanent magnets, in a bid to reduce power consumption and increase portability.

The MUARC & MPAGS summer school on Quantum Matter: Foundations and New Trends will take place this year in Granada, Spain, on 18-22 September 2011. The school will provide a basis for new members of the community and deepen the knowledge of more experienced ones in the areas of quantum gases, quantum optics and condensed matter physics. Registration opens 31st March.
Watch the videos about last year's summer school and about cold atoms explained by the school lecturers!
We have positions to work on two exciting European projects, the "space optical clock" and the "integrated quantum sensor". More details on our jobs section.
The MUARC summer school on Advanced Techniques in Atomic Physics will take place in Ardencote, near Birmingham, UK, on 22-27 August 2010. The school is intended to enable advanced graduate students or early post-docs to target the next step in their career. Registration is now open.
The joint MUARC/MPAGS winter school for advanced undergraduates and starting graduate students was held at the University of Nottingham on 13-15th December. The programme covered a broad range of topics currently investigated at MUARC such as quantum optics, quantum simulations with Rydberg atoms, atom chips, and quantum gases in optical lattices.
The next school will be held in August 2010 and will target advanced postgraduate students and young researchers.
Lucia Hackermüller and Jon Goldwin are joining MUARC. Lucia will be a Lecturer at the University of Nottingham and will study Lithium-Caesium cold molecules on an atom chip. Jon will be a Lecturer at the University of Birmingham and will study the interaction of ultracold fermionic Potassium with a single quantum optical field in a high-finesse cavity.
The openlab party celebrated the end of the refurbishment of the Cold Atom labs in Birmingham.

Road to recovery gradual for O's pitchers
Rehab outings imminent for Ray, Sarfate; Uehara slow to heal
NEW YORK -- As far as the Orioles are concerned, there are still uncertain timetables for three of their injured pitchers. Chris Ray, Dennis Sarfate and Koji Uehara are all attempting to work back from ailments in their respective pitching arms, and manager Dave Trembley tried to sketch out their recovery on Monday.
"Sarfate will throw a bullpen [session] on [Tuesday] and pitch one inning on [Friday] at Triple-A," said Trembley. "Chris Ray will pitch an inning, I believe at [Double-A] Bowie on [Friday]. Those two guys, that's when they're going."
Sarfate, who has been trying to come back from a circulatory problem in his right arm, recently suffered a small setback and could take most of July to return to peak condition. Ray, meanwhile, is working back from a case of tendinitis in his right biceps that has kept Trembley from naming an exact prognosis.
"I couldn't tell you that," Trembley said. "I know earlier this afternoon, [pitching coach Rick] Kranitz was writing out his rehab. All I wanted was the first one to be able to tell you. I don't know anything after that."
The recent acquisition of Cla Meredith will help the Orioles withstand the extended absence of Ray and Sarfate, and Trembley said on Monday that he'd like to get Uehara back in working order as soon as possible. The Orioles want Uehara back for good, though, and they won't push him until they're sure he can handle the strain.
"He's just doing physical therapy work," Trembley said of Uehara, who has a torn flexor tendon in his right arm. "We'll get a better read at him when we come home off this trip, so I couldn't tell you. Obviously, he's going to have to start a throwing program when he gets cleared. I don't know if he's ready to start that yet."

CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) – The team of Baron Adams and Brian Pierce caught a five-bass limit weighing 31.44 pounds to take first place and the $2,000 prize in the Reddick Auto Body March CBA Open Bass tournament this Saturday, March 30, 2013 at Chester Frost Park on Chickamauga Lake.
Baron and Brian reported that they used suspending jerkbaits to catch their winning stringer of fish.
Randy Pippin fishing solo won the over-all big-fish honors with a giant largemouth bass weighing 11.34 pounds which earned them $360. According to C.B.A. records this is the biggest bass that has ever been brought to the scales in the 36 year history of the organization.
Randy reported that he caught the giant fish on a silver buddy fishing a flat about six feet deep that dropped off into deeper water.

DALLAS -- The written word.
The crisp crackle of the page turn that brings with it the anticipation of a plot turn beyond your wildest dreams.
The Dallas Public Library is full of books, rows, stacks bound only by the human imagination.
But could the library be nearing its own epilogue?
I figured the best place to talk about the future of the brick-and-mortar library, would be on wheels in the bookmobile.
"It's a library on wheels," said Director of the Dallas Public Library Jo Giudice.
News 8 took a little spin around town to ask Giudice a few questions out loud, without having to whisper about the subject.
"Absolutely and without a doubt, libraries are vibrant and thriving," she said. "All locations are busy."
Ask the director and she'll tell you libraries will survive the e-Book revolution, but they're doing it by changing.
"They really prophesied that within a couple years books were going to just disappear, and libraries were not going to be relevant," Giudice said. "Well libraries are much more than books. We do classes, story time, we teach people to use computers -- it's not all about the book."
Libraries used to be books and a quiet place to study them. Today, that happens with caffeine and tablets.
"Starbucks offers free Wi-Fi and we offer free Wi-Fi, but Starbucks does not offer you a free computer," Giudice said.
"Well, I work for a bookstore, so I'm hoping books are alive and well," said Kathy Doyle Thomas of Half Price Books in Dallas.
And not going the way of, say, records.
The vinyl disappeared because of the eight-track, and then cassette, and then CD, and then smartphone... but the printed word?
"Everyone doesn't want it to go away, and so everybody's fighting to make it stay," Thomas said. "There's a million books published last year."
By the way, records are in the middle of a comeback because, well maybe, we've figured out we like the sound that comes from old technology more... just like the sound of a real page turning.

PINSON — Leeds went out to an early lead, but it didn't last long as Pinson Valley came storming back for an 8-2 victory Monday, in the last regular-season baseball game for both schools.
Both of the Green Wave's first-inning runs came without a hit — two walks, two hit batsmen and a fielder's choice. That was enough for Coach Shane Chappell to pull starter Jason Little after one inning, and put Joel Aldrich on the mound for the remainder of the game.
Aldrich did not disappoint, striking out seven Leeds batters and allowing just two hits with three walks, and Little later redeemed himself at the plate.
The Indians took the lead for good in the second inning, when Bailey Chesser hit a run-scoring double, followed by a Joseph Downing single to left field that drove in two runs.
Pinson scored its next three runs on sacrifice fly balls, two by little and one by Tyler Evans. Little also had an RBI single in the sixth, followed by another by his brother Austin.
Aldrich went 2-for-4 at the plate, the only multi-hit batter of the game.
The 10th-ranked Indians open the post-season on Friday, as they host Walker in a doubleheader. If the teams split, they will play a third game on Saturday.

There's a new effort to help people facing mental crises. Region Ten is bringing a nationally recognized course to the Charlottesville area.
Through a program called Mental Health First Aid, Region Ten is teaching the community how to help those in crisis, so they don't suffer in silence.
"Mental Health First Aid is basically training people to respond to notice signs and symptoms of mental illness in the community," said Jane Lewis, quality improvement and standards director for Region Ten.
Region Ten is offering Mental Health First Aid trainings in hopes of connecting people with the help they may need. The 8-hour course focuses on identifying illnesses like anxiety and depression, which Lewis says are often ignored.
"Because they don't know what to do or how to respond they tend to turn away and not be involved at all with that individual," Lewis said.
The class teaches a five-step action plan to offer initial help to people with signs or symptoms of mental illness, with the goal of connecting them with the appropriate professional, peer, or self-help care.
A group from "On Our Own," a peer support center in Charlottesville, says the course is crucial for the work they do.
"You have to handle it with care and deal with it in the most appropriate way," said Rachel Aull, who is participating in the program.
"It will definitely help us in knowing where to refer them to and what to do to help them," said Erin Tucker, another participant.
While many professionals are taking advantage of the course, everyone is urged to participate.
"We've trained a lot of people in the community who just may be a neighbor of a family member who have an interest in those who have a mental illness," Lewis said.
Lewis says the course is not about becoming an expert in mental health; it's about knowing how to help. Region Ten hopes to train 5,000 people by 2018.

limit political robocalls to one a day (or none)!! AND add an opt-out requirement so we can stop them for subsequent calls!
Have received 8 calls from one primary candidate in a 24 hr period -- he has also apparently shared my number with his political party -- 2 calls in a 24 hr period -- and with some issues canvassers -- 2 more calls in 24 hrs. That is 12 calls in 24 hours. This has been going on all week. I MUST have a way to opt out of these calls -- all of them. This is ABUSE. If there is no way to stop the calls, then make them buy an FCC license for each call so cost will be a limiting factor -- and at least the FCC can get some $ to go after the Do Not Call violators..

Just saying, you can simply blacklist the calls if you have a competent phone (like an Android).
Jenn commented
Why can't the "Do Not Call" registry include political calls? I know of absolutely NO ONE who likes, wants or even appreciates these calls. And I can't even contact anyone to request to be removed from their call list because EVERY call comes through as "Anonymous". These are nuisances and should be included in the registry.

Or include all robocalls except for school or emergency notifications under the Do Not Call umbrella. Anything.

Bonneville Power Administration
|BPA Home EE Home Reports and Publications Program Evaluation Index Agriculture Evaluation
Irrigation scheduling is a consulting service offered to farmers in an effort to optimize application of irrigation water. Optimization is achieved through the use of a predictive simulation tool that is driver by measurements of soil condition, crop type and development, and weather data. Scheduling serves to control the moisture content levels of the soil to target levels. The result is generally the elimination of excessive watering and conservation of pumping energy.
Grant County Public Utility District (PUD) has proposed a conservation agreement to the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) for obtaining energy saved through irrigation scheduling. Based on the 1991 season, Grant County PUD estimated that scheduling could conserve 206 kWh/acre at the irrigated site and water savings of 0.3 to 0.5 acre-ft per irrigated acre. Distribution energy (primary and secondary pumping) savings were estimated at 420 kWh/acre-ft of saved water. Energy gained by running the saved water through generation turbines at both Grand Coulee and Chief Joseph dams was estimated to be 450 kWh/acre ft.
The Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL)(a) is conducting an impact analysis of the Grant County PUD irrigation scheduling project. The specific goal of the evaluation is to estimate the on-site energy savings, off-site energy savings, timing of savings, and demand reduction, as well as amount of water saved, amount of saved water available for generation, and the corresponding power generation available to BPA.
This report begins with a summary of the work completed for the off-site verification plan and also a summary of the analysis of the 1992 and 1993 on-site data. Following the summaries is a detailed description of the second year's data collection and analysis of on-site water/energy consumption measurements. Estimates of energy and water savings and corresponding confidence intervals are included. The final season presents a discussion of the potential for future impact assessments with a reduction in field verification data.
Summary of Off-Site Work
There are several fundamental obstacles to making a quantitative assessment (based on measurement) of the off-site (primary and secondary) pumping savings in a complex dynamic system such as the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project. Possibly the largest obstacle is the small size of the effect being observed. Although the Grant County irrigation scheduling project is large (more than 33,000 acres), it encompasses only 6% of the total land area served by the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project. Current estimates of scheduling-related savings for this area are approximately 1% when expressed in terms of primary pumping levels in 1991. The uncertainties in measurements and simulations make it very difficult to verify this small change in primary pumping through direct measurements or a combination of measurements and simulation. The prospects of making a sufficiently accurate quantitative verification of off-site scheduling savings, through the comparison of Bureau of Reclamation (Bureau) records and simulation data, are very poor.
Modeling uncertainties originate in the
However, it is felt that useful qualitative information could be obtained from a model. It could serve for running sensitivity studies to estimate the impact of small load reductions on primary and secondary pumping. A general system model may also be useful to the Bureau for system management and efficiency optimization.
The potential value of qualitative modeling of the system is illustrated in the findings of Mr. Eldon Johns at the Bureau's E&R Center in Denver. His report, Columbia Basin Project Irrigation Efficiency and Return Flow Analysis (Johns 1992), describes the importance of considering water recovery and re-use characteristics of an area when assessing the impact potential of a conservation measure. For example, irrigation return flows from the upper portion of the West Canal and East Low Canal service areas find their way into Potholes Reservoir through wasteways and groundwater movement. This recovery into Potholes serves as a source primarily to the South District. Unfortunately, the needs of the areas served by Potholes Reservoir are generally in excess of the groundwater and return flows from the East Low and upper West Canal service areas. Columbia River "feedwater" must be fed directly to Potholes Reservoir to make up for the shortfall (approximately 20% of the total supply to Potholes). This is almost always diverted from the East Low Canal through one of its wasteways.
In other words, conservation in the upper West and East Low Canal system service areas may not be effective (in reducing primary pumping) in itself because the waste and drainage from these areas is another area's supply. To illustrate this, assume that 60% of the excess water from pivot sprinklers in the Quincy District East Low Canal service area is collected at Potholes Reservoir via groundwater flow and, in turn, is delivered to the South District. A conservation measure in Quincy District yielding a savings of 10 in. would result in 4 in. of primary pumping savings (because 6 in. of feedwater to Potholes Reservoir would be needed to make up for the lost groundwater flow). The same measure implemented in the South district would yield a savings of 10 in. of primary pumping (because this directly reduces the demand for feedwater to Potholes). It can be argued that even if parallel conservation programs were run in the two districts, any primary pumping savings would rightly be credited at a 100% rate for areas served by Potholes and at a 40% rate (in this example) for areas that supply the groundwater system and Potholes Reservoir.(a)
Similarly, for second pumping, consideration must be given to farm location in determining the impact of the conservation measure. Savings on farms that are supplied from secondary pumping will cause a nearly one-to-one savings in secondary pumping. Conversely, savings on farms not supplied by secondary pumping will have no impact on secondary pumping demand. A rough estimate of secondary pumping savings for Grant County can be made from on-site savings data, the information on the fraction of Grant County farms served by secondary pumping, and the crop types on those farms. Detailed information on the number of farms served through secondary pumping is not readily available from the Bureau at this time but could potentially be tabulated. The main objective of a modeling effort would be to determine primary pumping savings through an estimate of the re-use fraction for an area. In other words, the objective would be to estimate the portion of sprinkler-applied water that is available for groundwater movement and also the fraction of this that reaches Potholes Reservoir for distribution to other farms. As was described in the October 1992 work plan report, three different model development efforts can be undertaken:
Model A represents the smallest effort and is essentially a refinement of existing modeling technology being used by the Bureau and farm consultants. Basically, this model calculates the amount of water needed to maintain a constant moisture content level in a field. Tasks here are mainly the development of a database of typical seasonal crop coefficient profiles, adaptation of existing evapotranspiration code from the Bureau, and development of techniques for accessing Bureau weather data. A rough estimate for development time is 3 to 4 person-weeks.
Model B contains the functionality of Model A along with the capability of simulating the dynamic capacity of the soil/crop system and also the time-dependent nature of the sprinkler schedule. The difficulty here is the soil/crop model. Literature research and possibly some laboratory testing on various soil types are needed. A rough estimate for development time (Model A included) is 2 to 3 person-months.
Model C contains the functionality of Models A and B along with simulations for gravity-fed and nonscheduled farms as well as detailed simulation of the Columbia Basin's distribution system. Developing Model C involves an extensive characterization of the irrigation system and the development of various models of water transport mechanics (e.g., seepage from distribution vessels, groundwater movement, evaporation from lakes), along with a complex computer simulation of the control hierarchy. The model represents a complex network of interacting elements, all with dynamic water storage capacities. A rough estimate for development time (Models A and B included) is 12 person-months.
Models A and B are tools for predicting on-site levels of energy and water consumption for scheduled farms with central-pivot irrigation. They could potentially be used to estimate on-site savings relative to baseline (measured) water and energy consumption levels on unscheduled farms. Model C goes much farther by attempting to simulate the various types of unscheduled farms and also the distribution system and groundwater flows. Of the three models, C is the best suited for estimating re-use behavior of a specific location and, in turn, screening candidate conservation measures for conservation potential (primary pumping as well as on-site and associated secondary pumping savings).
In conclusion, verification of primary pumping savings is difficult to base directly on physical measurements. Possibly the only practical approach to the verification of primary pumping savings will come from a modeling effort and a qualitative assessment of the re-use characteristics of Grant County farms and the Potholes Reservoir system. Further analysis of the Bureau's water distribution records may provide some additional insight, but existing records to not give a complete answer (little is known about groundwater flow, waste flow, and losses). However, secondary pumping savings are closely related to the on-site savings from farms that are supplied by secondary pumping. This could be estimated by a tabulation of the number of acres, and corresponding crop type, served by secondary pumping in Grant County.

There seems to be no end of controversy surrounding climate change. The scientific community is nearly unanimous in its findings that global warming is real despite a current flap over embarrassing emails from some researchers in the U.K. National and world leaders are currently grappling with this enormous issue in Copenhagen, and well see what comes of those important talks.
But back here in Missouri, we seem to have a more rational outlook on global warming one that makes me proud to be from the Show Me State.
The Pew Charitable Trusts recently polled voters on their attitudes towards climate change. Heres how Missourians responded:
A large majority say global warming is a serious threat, and more than 2/3 favor aggressive actions to reduce carbon emissions;
Two thirds support the main provisions of the Kerry-Boxer climate bill in the U.S. Senate, including requiring factories and power companies to reduce carbon emissions 80% by 2050, and requiring utilities to use much more clean energy like wind and solar;
A sizeable majority want Missouris U.S. senators to support the energy bill, including a cap on carbon emissions.
Even when a national poll reports declining concern about climate change another Pew study says 57% of Americans believe the planet is warming, down from 71% last year we Missourians think otherwise. We understand the urgent need to address climate change, and we want our elected officials to start acting.
Missouri makes me proud. I only hope our Senators do the same by listening to the majority of voters in this state and voting yes on federal climate legislation.

text: Monitoring digital footprints to prevent reputation damage and cyber attacks | Wired Money video Technology 08 August 13 by Katie Collins Tweet Watch now: Alastair Paterson at Wired Money Alastair Paterson, Digital ShadowsNate Lanxon "Largely positive" social technologies can have "sinister" downsides for companies that choose not to monitor their digital footprints, says Alastair Paterson, co-founder of Digital Shadows.Speaking at Wired Money in Canary Wharf, Paterson points out that humans are now dumping a trillion gigabytes of data online every year. "It's now possible to have a digital footprint before you're born, before you've even taken actual footsteps," he says, highlighting the ultrasound photos that wind up on Facebook. "Suddenly we're living through a revolution. Almost every interaction we have is recorded."Companies used to "build walls" to make sure sensitive information was protected, Paterson says, but the proliferation of information now available online means that's no longer a failsafe method of protecting data. Some of the information exposed about a company -- customer data, board meeting minutes or details about mergers and acquisitions -- could be harmful, both to the company's reputation and more widely. "That's what we call a digital shadow," Paterson says.It's not only the harm to their reputations that companies need to worry about, but the safety of their internal systems, Paterson adds: "Attacks are becoming far more sophisticated. The reconnaissance phase of a cyber attack has become the most important phase."Before launching a cyber attack, the attackers will inevitably attempt to build up a picture of a company's internal workings, including garnering an understanding of software and finding out usernames and passwords of key staff.There's tremendous variation in the level of risk companies face, Paterson says. While some are mostly secure, he warns that "others are leaking like a sieve in comparison". Banks currently make up five of the eight most exposed companies. "Larger companies on the whole have the greater risk," he says, before adding the disclaimer that "just because you're small, doesn't mean you don't have that problem".There are two ways to deal with digital shadows, according to Paterson: the first is for companies to bury their heads in the sand, disable social networks from being used internally and continue to build up the walls. However, this will deny them the option to harness mobile technologies and social networks for their own benefit. Paterson also points out that no matter what measures companies introduce, employees will continue to use social networks on their own devices in their own time, which will inevitably expose the company to some risk.The alternative is for companies to embrace new technologies and take control of their online presence. The best method to do this, he says, is to start by getting an accurate idea of the size and scale of the risk, then train staff appropriately and continuously monitor digital shadows. "Our digital footprints are going to continue to grow," he says, but "you can prevent reputational damage."

ESPN insider expects Ray Horton to get head coaching interviews
Horton has helped transform one of the league's worst defenses into one of its best over the last two seasons, and a feat like that is not likely to go unrecognized or unrewarded.
There is some thought that perhaps the Cardinals, should they decide to part ways with Ken Whisenhunt, may look to promote the second-year coordinator.
If Whisenhunt stays, though, given the fact that Horton interviewed with the St. Louis Rams for their top job before the team chose Jeff Fisher, it stands to reason his name will be brought up when other openings arise.
"I think he can get one or two interviews, which I think is merited," ESPN NFL insider John Clayton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Thursday. "I don't necessarily know if he's, at this stage, ready to get a head coaching job."
listen Listen: John Clayton, NFL Writer and ESPN Reporter
John Clayton joins Doug and Wolf to talk about this week in the NFL. Does John believe Ray Horton will get Head coaching considerations? John does not believe that Alex Smith can bring the 49ers to the Super Bowl. Does this mean Colin Kaepernick can lead the Niners to the "promise land"? And, John tells us why Jason Babin was cut by the Eagles. Plus, is Ben Roethlisberger going to be available this Sunday?
"Clearly he's put himself in a position to get the interview," Clayton said. "Ray will go and use those interviews as a good education so that he can gear himself and be ready.
"I still remember talking to a lot of young coaches and the big thing is OK, it's nice to get a job, but it's better to get a job when you're ready to be the head coach."
Clayton said Horton has learned very fast, as he was a position coach as recently as two years ago.

Baseball picked to win an 2012 NCAA regional by Baseball America
Related Links
The dirt from the 2011 season is barely off the Dolphins' cleats, but the JU baseball team is already being slated for big things 2012 after Baseball America picked them as one of eight teams to win a NCAA regional next season.
The Dolphins, the lone mid-major of the group, joined Arizona State, Arkansas, UCLA, North Carolina, Texas, TCU and Vanderbilt as programs to advance to the Super Regionals in the earliest Baseball America 2012 preview.
The publication also had Baylor, Cal State Fullerton, FIU, Florida State, Miami, Missouri, St. John's and San Diego as sleepers, while College World Series final participants South Carolina and Florida headlined the group to heading to Omaha.
"We are honored they think that highly of us already," said JU head coach Terry Alexander. "We had a great year in 2011 and hope to build on it next season. On the flip side, this is only a prediction and we will have to take care of business on the field if we want a shot at making a goal like that come true."
In 2011, the Dolphins posted a 37-24 mark en route to earning an at-large berth to their fourth NCAA regional in the last six seasons. JU finished with 21 wins at home and a 19-11 record in A-Sun play to pick up the No. 2 seed for the A-Sun Tournament. Along the way, the Dolphins handed national runner-up Florida its worst loss at home, 11-2, on May 17.
Senior first baseman Adam Brett Walker led the A-Sun with a .409 batting average, 99 hits and 23 doubles en route to A-Sun "Player of the Year" and first team all-conference honors. He also was the District III "Player of the Year" by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers of America (NCBWA) and a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy (NCBWA) and Golden Spikes Award (USA Baseball).
Walker became the first Dolphin since Casey Schumaker in 2001 with multiple All-America awards after earning first team honors from Perfect Game USA and second team accolades from the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA), Baseball America, Louisville Slugger (Collegiate Baseball) and the NCBWA.
Counting Walker, the Dolphins had a program-best eight A-Sun all-conference honors. Sophomore centerfielder Dan Gulbransen joined Walker on the first team, while junior starting pitcher Steve Eagerton, junior shortstop Jimmy Howick and freshman reliever Chris Anderson garnered second team accolades. Anderson also picked up all-freshman honors with second baseman Taylor Ratliff and starting pitcher Tony Mollica.
Ratliff and Anderson received freshman All-America accolades from the NCBWA, while Anderson got the same honor from Collegiate Baseball. Walker and Gulbransen also earned all-south region honors from the ABCA.
Following the season, Howick was selected in the 21st round of the MLB draft by the Houston Astros, while senior pitcher Matthew Tomshaw was taken in the 42nd round by the Minnesota Twins. Senior catcher Alex Swenson had a tryout with the Kansas City Royals that led to a contract with the Newark Bears of Canadian American Association of Professional Baseball.
The Dolphins also have 12 players still in action in summer collegiate leagues, including Walker and Gulbransen who are in the prestigious Cape Cod league.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A new shallow-draft Navy ship that is faster than its predecessors will arrive at her homeport of San Diego on Thursday, the Navy announced Tuesday.
The 378-foot USS Fort Worth, named for the nation's 16th largest city in Texas, is the Navy's third littoral combat ship. It was commission in a ceremony in Galveston, Texas, on Sept. 22.
As a littoral combat ship, the Fort Worth can travel in less than 20 feet of water and reach speeds of up to 40 knots in 90 seconds, according to the Navy, which is expected to use the more agile, maneuverable vessel to better fight piracy, drug trafficking and terrorism at sea.
"The world is changing, the enemy is changing," Rep. Kay Granger of Texas, the ship's sponsor, told reporters during the commissioning ceremony.
The Fort Worth and is designed to be manned by up to 75 crew members. Its armament includes a MK 110 57 mm gun, rolling airframe missiles and a torpedo system.
