Using data from its users in the United States, LinkedIn mapped out the top skill sets uniquely found in cities across the country.

The map reinforces some commonly held notions about certain cities. In New York, the top skill is trading and investment, in Los Angeles, its TV and video production, and in the San Francisco Bay, its cloud and distributed computing.

Skills further down the list arealso revealing. Asthe center of country music, Nashville, Tenn., is well representedby music production, its also a hub for health-care management and theology. Provo, Utahs top skill is SEO marketing, but as home to BYU and a large Mormon population,someof whom served as foreign-language missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, foreign language translation also ranks high. And Atlantas reputation as a corporate headquarters shows through with its laundry list of business skills.

The map also reflectsthegeography of oil and gas, shown in the enlarged dark purple circles below. North Dakotas oil boom means drilling and well management is a now top skill Bismarck, N.D., as it is inOklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The enlarged light purple circles show the geography of mining in Nevada (it even tops hospitality-related skills in Las Vegas), Arizona, and West Virginia.

Seamus Dooley of the NUJ said the union had grave concerns about the implications for the possible costs for any media organisation faced with this type of bill.

The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) has said it is bitterly disappointed at the rejection by the European Court of Human Rights of a case taken by The Irish Times over the costs of its successful legal battle with the Mahon tribunal.

The Strasbourg court ruled against two Irish Times journalists this week in their claim that the Supreme Court had interfered with their right to protect their sources by making the newspaper pay the costs of its dispute with the planning tribunal.

The case followed the publication of a story in 2006 which revealed that the tribunal was investigating a number of payments to then taoiseach Bertie Ahern. The Supreme Court ruled that Irish Times journalist Colm Keena and the papers then editor, Geraldine Kennedy, should not be ordered to reveal their sources, but directed the paper to pay all costs of the court proceedings.

In a majority decision, the European court rejected the papers application and found the claims of interference with freedom of expression to be manifestly ill-founded.

Reacting to the decision, the NUJ said it was disappointed by the decision of the court and the tone of its judgment.

The case is recognised internationally as having significance for the protection of sources, and having the freedom to protect sources but having to incur punitive costs to protect that freedom seems to me to be contradictory, said Samus Dooley, the NUJs Irish secretary.

We would have grave concerns about the implications of the possible costs for The Irish Times and for any media organisation faced with this type of bill.

The tribunal served a bill of costs on The Irish Times in October 2010, claiming the sum of 393,055.42.

In its case to the European court, the newspaper claimed there was a strong chilling effect to the Supreme Courts decision, since it was clear to the press, to potential sources and to the public that journalists could be compelled, under the threat of an order of costs, to disclose the source of information given in confidence. The court rejected this, a conclusion Mr Dooley said showed a worrying naivete on the courts part. The difficulty will be now, for any editor, to take a decision which has potential financial implications. Thats where the chill effect comes in, he said.
