1. Google yourself - repeat on a regular basis, at least once a month, and set up Google alerts to catch new mentions.

2. Correct mistakes and false information about you that is published online. Contact the site authors.

3. Create your own content - start a blog, Twitter account and Facebook page, use Google+ for draft posts. Send selected news to Twitter, try Facebook for updates from you practice. Link you own blog posts from Twitrter and Facebook.

Setup professional profiles on Google+ and LinkedIn.

Push irrelevant or non-reliable content down in the search results. The farther down the better, as 90% of people won't go past the first page of search results and 99% won't go past page 2.

An iPad app tests athletes for concussions (a Cleveland Clinic video). The players perform a series of balance, memory, vision, and reaction time experiments to obtain a baseline reading. If they receive a blow to the head during a game or practice, these tests can be redone to determine when it is safe for the athlete to return to action.
