More than 2,000 new jobs could be created over the next five years at three technology innovation centres in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Glasgow University is being given a total of £18m by the Scottish Funding Council to develop two of the centres.
One will focus on electronic sensor and imaging systems. The other will aim to pioneer medical research projects.
A Digital Health Institute will also be created in Edinburgh to address demands on health and social care services.
The Scottish Funding Council (SFC) has pledged £10m over the next five years to support the Innovation Centre - Sensor and Imaging Systems (IC-SIS) at Glasgow University.
It is hoped the facility will support collaborative projects with industry and deliver new products to market.
Estimates suggest that the initial £10m investment could generate up to £596m for the Scottish economy.
The centre will be supported by 11 other Scottish universities and 22 industry partners.
The SFC is also providing £8m of funding to Glasgow University over five years to back the creation of the £20m Stratified Medicine Scotland Innovation Centre (SMS-IC).
Stratified medicine involves examining the genetic make-up of patients and their differing responses to drugs designed to treat specific diseases.
By building up an understanding of the "strata" of responses and the genetics of the diseases, medical researchers hope to create more personalised and effective forms of treatment.
The facility, at the new South Glasgow Hospitals Campus, will involve a consortium of other universities, NHS Scotland, and industry partners, including biotech firm Life Technologies.
It will focus on developing new forms of treatment for chronic diseases, including cancer, stroke, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
Construction work is expected to begin in November this year, with a fully-operational centre due to open in September 2015.
The SFC will also provide £10m over five years to support the development of a Digital Health Institute (DHI).
The project is a collaboration between Edinburgh University, Glasgow School of Art, NHS24 and a consortium of other universities.
The institute will look at ways of addressing "the unsustainable demands" on health and social care services in Scotland through new technology.
A key part of its work will be help companies develop and market new and innovative products which help address the cost savings which are thought to be necessary to maintain current care standards in Scotland.
Edinburgh University campus will be the starting point for the institute with the administrative functions being based there.
The first lab will be in Forres with the intention to set up a second in the Lothians area in the near future.
A mobile lab will also be set up to allow the 14 health boards across Scotland to benefit.
The "experience labs" will let companies and academics work quickly with people on the ground to test new solutions and develop towards commercial exploitation.
First Minister Alex Salmond said the three innovation centres would place Scotland at the forefront of "life sciences, innovative technology, ideas and development" and create "an enormous number of jobs in a highly-skilled and high value field".
He said: "This is an exciting new collaboration between all parts of public life, with Scottish industry, higher education institutions, multinationals, our small and medium sized enterprises and our public sector partners working together to provide solutions to demand-led problems facing industry in Scotland by supporting innovation for future growth.
"Innovation centres offer game-changing opportunities for collaboration between our academic and business base.
"The investment and partnership model is unique and their potential for growth is huge."


Craigavon-based pharmaceutical firm Almac is expanding its operation in the Republic of Ireland with a new facility in Dundalk.

The firm said it would allow it to have a "continued presence within the European Union in the long-term".
It will create 100 jobs at the 32,000 sq ft facility in Dundalk.
Almac has emphasised it is committed to maintaining its global headquarters in Craigavon.
The impact of Brexit hangs over this announcement.
Leaving the single market is likely to present particular challenges for the pharmaceutical industry, including regulatory impacts and market access.
So it makes sense for a firm like Almac to beef up its presence inside the single market.
That is certainly being emphasised by Ireland's inward investment agency, which is supporting the Dundalk project.
In November, the firm said it would spend £5m on a new headquarters building in the town.
Almac is one of Northern Ireland's most successful firms, employing 5,000 people across its global operations.
The Dundalk investment is being supported by the IDA, Ireland's inward investment agency.
Martin Shanahan, the chief executive of the IDA, said Almac's decision provides the company "with certainty of access to the European Union in the long-term".
He added that this "certainty of access" is an increasingly important selling point for Ireland as it tries to attract investment.


The Queen is making a personal donation to a UK charity appeal for families facing starvation in East Africa.

The Buckingham Palace announcement came as Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson visited Somalia for talks about security and the drought in the region.
The government said it will match the first Â£5m donated by the public.
Runner Sir Mo Farah has also backed the appeal, saying it "breaks his heart" to "see children without food and water" and urged people to "act now".
The Olympic champion has been named an ambassador for Save the Children, one of 13 UK aid agencies brought together by the UK's Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC).
DEC says at least 16 million people in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia and South Sudan need food, water and medical treatment.
Drought and conflict are to blame for the crisis, says the DEC, which will broadcast an emergency appeal on the major television networks later.
While in Somalia, the foreign secretary met President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed and saw demonstrations of the training the British military is providing to Somali National Army and African Union Mission to Somalia forces.
He also helped load aid supplies from the UK on to a cargo plane.
"All of this is vital if Somalia is going to move forward to achieve long-term stability and prosperity," said Mr  Johnson, who will next be visiting Uganda, Ethiopia and Kenya.
Olympian Sir Mo spent his early childhood in some of the worst affected areas in Somalia.
He said: "As a father of four, it hurts to see children without food and water, but this is a reality being faced by parents in East Africa right now.
"The drought is really bad and there are millions of children at risk of starvation."
Last month, a famine was declared in parts of South Sudan, the first to be announced in any part of the world in six years.
The government and the United Nations reported that some 100,000 people are facing starvation, with a million more on the brink of famine.
A combination of civil war and an economic collapse have been blamed.
In Kenya, the country's president Uhuru Kenyatta declared its drought a national disaster and Kenya's Red Cross says 2.7 million people face starvation.
There is also a severe drought in Somalia and Ethiopia.
'Desperate for food'
Saleh Saeed, chief executive of the DEC, said hunger was "looming" across East Africa.
He said more than 800,000 children aged under five "are now facing starvation and will die soon if we don't reach them and act quickly".
"We are hearing that families are so desperate for food that they are resorting to eating leaves to survive," he added.
Mr Saeed told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the money raised is being used to provide water, sanitation and food.
He said that, while it was important to talk about the long-term infrastructure of countries like Kenya, the areas impacted by the crisis were facing an "emergency situation".
Addressing concerns that some of the money going to the countries affected by civil war may be stolen by the government or rebel forces, he said the charities brought together by the DEC work directly with staff and vetted organisations on the ground.
Mr Saeed said it was "unfortunate" that the government of South Sudan was reportedly considering charging aid workers to enter the country.
He added: "We need to put it into perspective. The amount of money that is lost on fraud is actually quite small."
International Development Secretary Priti Patel said UK aid has funded food, water and emergency healthcare in East Africa, but more support was "urgently needed to prevent a catastrophe".
She said the international community must follow the UK's lead "to save lives and stop the famine before it becomes a stain on our collective conscience".

League One promotion chasers Rochdale and Millwall took a point each in a six-goal thriller at Spotland.

Lee Gregory's penalty after Jake Cooper was fouled put Millwall ahead and Gregory then set up Aiden O'Brien.
But Rochdale were level before the break as Nathaniel Mendez-Laing's volley into the corner was followed by Ian Henderson scoring from close range.
Callum Camps swept in to put the hosts ahead, before Jed Wallace blasted into the roof of the net to equalise.
The draw sees Millwall move level on points with sixth-placed Southend, while Rochdale remain 10th, six points adrift of the play-offs.
After Dale's Mendez-Laing was denied by the legs of Jordan Archer in the first minute, Millwall scored two goals within 11 minutes of each other, before Steve Morison missed a great opportunity for a third as he put his close-range shot wide.
Mendez-Laing's low drive into the corner reduced the arrears and Henderson equalised shortly after seeing his overhead shot shave the post, while Camps put the home side in front when the visitors failed to deal with a corner.
Millwall pushed for an equaliser and O'Brien's volley was spectacularly saved by Rochdale keeper Conrad Logan, before Wallace drew his side level scoring at the back post.

League Two club Luton Town have signed Oxford United pair Danny Hylton and Johnny Mullins on two-year contracts.

Hylton, 27, was Oxford's third-highest scorer as the U's won promotion to League One but has turned down a new deal to remain in the fourth tier.
Mullins, 30, made 51 appearances in all competitions this season but was released earlier this month.
"Luton have got a fantastic style of play, especially since Nathan came on board," Hylton told the club website.
"It's an honour to join Luton - it's a massive club."
Mullins added: "When a club like Luton call, it was a no-brainer - I wanted to join. I've come to get promoted and play in front of some top-drawer fans."


For women in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, going on a 'night out' is not just a chance to spend time with friends, but also an opportunity to highlight the social freedoms that they now have.

The three countries in the South Caucasus were once part of the Soviet Union, but after its break-up in 1991, they gained independence. Although people there now enjoy greater social freedoms than ever before, there is a divide between how men and women are treated. Many women, despite being old enough to vote, feel society will look down on them if they go out late in the evenings.
As a woman from Azerbaijan, I grew up seeing the women around me choosing to stay in during the evenings. But people who range from their 20s all the way to their 60s have a new approach to this now. I know many women who defy the stereotypes and will go out at night, not only to dance at night clubs, but also to for a walk, or enjoy the beauty of the lights of night-time Baku.
Of course, Western influences through education or increased tourism have begun to permeate these countries with music venues, bars and nightclubs becoming more prolific.  And as the number of women working in the region increases, so does their spending power - and their desire for somewhere to spend it. The proportion of women employed in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia increased slightly between 2006 and 2011, according to the World Bank.

But for others, embracing this new lifestyle means getting a reputation as a "good-time girl and being ostracised by neighbours and families. They will share their pictures on social media, but take steps to ensure they remain anonymous. Others, however, want the whole world to know just what a a good time they are having.
"I do go out at night. When everyone else in the city falls asleep, a new crowd takes over Yerevan and the nightlife begins. So far I haven't faced any criticism; in fact I feel like part of a community.
"Every year I notice an increase in the number of women going out. I think one reason is because young women are becoming financially independent and more and more women are making their own choices regardless of public opinion. Also, there is a new generation of young women who don't concede to the archaic concept of reputation; to be a so-called "good-time girl".
"Women who fear the opinions of others or their neighbours keep their personal lives a secret."
"I may go to a club or go for a walk with the people I know and trust, but I worry this might be misunderstood. There are some people who say 'if it is late, then this is bad', without checking where and who you are out with. Every Armenian girl who wants to live in an unassuming way should consider public opinion of course. But now these kind of stereotypes are disappearing - you can stay out until 23:00 local time.
"I try to be at home at 22:30. If I come home late, my parents don't like it, and I know the neighbours will grumble. This could then affect my future life and reputation. I know I am not doing anything wrong, but I need to adapt to the circumstances.
"Sometimes I go to karaoke clubs with my friends. There are many discos in Armenia, though these have not been easily accepted by society. People say a 'normal' girl would not go to these clubs. The situation is worse outside Yerevan. For example, in the second biggest city, Gyumri, there are no entertainment centres open at night because no-one goes.
"But karaoke is seen to be something a bit more acceptable; you can dance, sing and have fun, and people won't call you names.
"The situation may change, but it won't be easy - it might take 50 years at least."
"I have a master's degree in education and I work for a hospital in the capital city Baku.
"I don't think men or women should have a night life. It's not a healthy form of entertainment, and sleeping at night is very important. Also they drink alcohol in night clubs. I think people who drink alcohol are not thinking straight.
"For me, women's freedom is not about going on a night out. A woman should only think about getting educated, to be independent financially and to be confident enough to speak her own mind. I don't go on nights out and I have never been. Nobody in my close family goes clubbing.
"I have never been subject to any restrictions imposed by my family; I have had no interest in going to clubs. If I wanted to, I could go. I do sport after work, or I meet my friends, or I visit my relatives.  When  I go out with my friends, first we go to a cafe to have lunch, then we go for a walk in the city.
"I spend my holidays in foreign countries like Russia, Turkey and Iran. I also don't go clubbing in countries I visit. I'm interested in the culture and history of foreign countries, so I visit museums and libraries there."
"I go on nights out as well as evening concerts and night clubs.
"I think a woman should have time to go out and have fun in order to help her to get rid of the stress of her workload, the negative feelings and the aggression of the week, and also to get know new people. Otherwise this anger affects other people.
"Everyone should go to popular concerts at least five times a year.
"Let's consider that a woman stays at home, but a man goes to tea houses, clubs and so on. Does it mean that only men have the right to have fun? If so, let them change the name of Azerbaijan to 'the Male Republic of Azerbaijan'.
"The people who think that a woman should stay at home have been conditioned by their families. But some of the women cannot go out, because of lack of money, or safety or they want to be  a 'good girl' so they can get married.
"My family used to think like this, but I have changed them. If you have a love of life, you try to resist these restrictions.
"I'm not 18 anymore."
"I meet family members and friends on Fridays after work and on Saturdays as well. We go out to restaurants first, then go clubbing. We don't go out every week, but it is mostly how we spend our weekends.
"I'm the mother of a young daughter, so she stays with her grandmother when I go out to get a bit of time for myself.
"I don't hear any kind of criticism from the older generation or religious people. But it hasn't always been like this. In the 1990s there were no night clubs: we had war and poverty. But at the end of the 1990s jazz clubs were established where we had discos and house parties. Generally, Georgian people like to eat, dance and have fun."
"I spend my spare time with my friends, I don't like to stay at home. We go to the cinema, or if we know there is any kind of an event on, we go there. The only restriction I have from my parents is to be at home by midnight. Also they want to know who I'm going out with, and where. I think this comes from outside opinion as I'm divorced and have a baby.
"I don't want to have any conflict with my family as I have to live with them. But I think everyone should go out and have fun. My mother is very modern, for example, I have a tattoo and she likes it very much. But her character is different, she doesn't like to have fun, she prefers to stay at home.
"I often go on nights out. I have many friends, and I go out for a birthday parties often. We go to clubs if there is any interesting event on. If it is birthday party we do everything in moderation, like drinking, dancing and having fun. Sometimes very interesting events start very late. Some of events start at 23:00, but I cannot stay and I'm forced to go home. Of course, if I could, I'd stay more two hours."


A new GP surgery is to open in Shropshire, taking on nearly 4,000 patients from a centre that is closing.

GP group Shropdoc has agreed to run a surgery in the Beech Ward at Whitchurch Community Hospital from 1 November.
It will replace Richmond House surgery on Station Road, which closes at the end of October due to the lease running out and a loss of doctors.
Last week patients protested after plans to find a provider to run the service collapsed.
The new unit will be known as the Claypit Street Medical Practice.
More on this and other stories in Shropshire
Shropdoc has been providing out-of-hours GP services in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin and Powys in Wales.
Julian Povey, who chairs Shropshire's Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), said Shropdoc was "the best provider for the service", adding staff in Richmond House can be transferred to the new centre if they want to move.
"It will be run like a traditional general practice," he said.
"The plan is to have one lead GP, who will be full-time there, and then have a number of other doctors working alongside them, and hopefully they'll be able to get some people who'll work consistently and they'll be the same people to allow continuity of care."
Shropdoc is yet to comment.


US actor Nelsan Ellis, who starred in the popular HBO series True Blood, has died aged 39, his manager confirmed.

Ellis, best known for playing the flamboyant Lafayette Reynolds in the horror-drama series, died after complications from heart failure.
"He was a great talent, and his words and presence will be forever missed," his manager Emily Gerson Saines told the Hollywood Reporter.
Ellis appeared in True Blood from 2008 until the series ended in 2014.
"We were extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Nelsan Ellis," HBO said in a statement on Saturday.
"Nelsan was a long-time member of the HBO family whose groundbreaking portrayal of Lafayette will be remembered fondly," the statement added.
Ellis appeared regularly throughout the series of True Blood after first appearing as the cook at a local restaurant in 2008. He played the role of Lafayette, a charismatic gay medium who was able to contact ghosts.
He also featured alongside Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer in the film adaptation of Kathryn Stockett's novel The Help in 2011.
Spencer paid tribute to Ellis on Saturday with a comment posted on Twitter: "Just got word that we lost @nelsanellisofficial. My heart breaks for his kids and family."
Others to pay their respects were True Blood co-stars Michael McMillian, Lauren Bowles, Kristin Bauer and Joe Manganiello.
Manganiello said that he had been "crushed by the loss of my friend".
Bauer wrote in a post on the image sharing app Instagram: "One of the sweetest most talented men I've ever met. A terrible loss for all of us."
McMillan said on Twitter that he was "stunned" and "devastated" by the news.
Ellis is survived by his grandmother Alex Brown, his father Tommie Lee Thompson and his son Breon, along with seven siblings.


The BBC football pundits have had their say about what will happen this season - but what about the people who REALLY know what they are talking about?

BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra DJs Charlie Sloth, Adele Roberts, Trevor Nelson, Nick Bright and Chris Stark have all picked who they think will end up as champions, and also have their own mini-league in the BBC's Premier League Predictor game.
Disagree? You can take them on yourself here, and enter a mini-league with your mates too by playing the the new-look BBC Sport Predictor game.

His top 4: 1. Liverpool 2. Man City 3. Chelsea 4. Man Utd
A lot of people are going to think I am biased because I am a massive Liverpool fan, but there's actually method and thought that has gone into my top four.
I just feel like the squad is the strongest it has ever been and I think Jurgen Klopp has a real understanding of what's about to happen this season and how he wants his team to play - he has finally got his two men out wide who can rip teams to pieces when they sit back.
BBC Radio 1, Monday-Friday from 04:00-06:30 BST.
Her top 4: 1. Man City 2. Man Utd 3. Liverpool 4. Chelsea
As much as I would love the Premier League trophy to be adorned in the ribbons of Liverpool red and make its way to Merseyside at the end of this season, I think it might end up in the blue of Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola has built a strong side - devastating in attack and much stronger this year in defence which means they will be very hard to beat.
With a Champions League campaign to cope with too, I cannot see how Chelsea or Tottenham Hotspur can beat them over a season.
I think Spurs will also find it tough to play at Wembley for their home games this year. They'll miss the atmosphere, charm and history of White Hart Lane and it'll take them a while to adjust.
BBC Radio 1Xtra, Saturday and Sunday from 16:00-19:00 BST.
His top 4: 1. Man City 2. Man Utd 3. Chelsea 4. Arsenal
As a Chelsea fan I think we'll be singing 'champions of England' for only a few months more.
Antonio Conte has been a miracle worker up to now but not even he can salvage the mess our pre-season has been - Diego Costa's attitude has cost us and a ball hasn't even been kicked yet.
It is not all doom and gloom, though. I still think that we are so organised and strong, that a top-four finish beckons again
BBC Radio 1Xtra, Saturday and Sunday from 10:00-13:00 BST.
His top 4: 1. Man City 2. Chelsea 3. Arsenal 4. Tottenham
Chelsea will take the second spot, followed by Arsenal (I hope!), as long as Alexandre Lacazette hits the ground running and Alexis Sanchez stays.
Completing the top four for me are Tottenham. Although they haven't been massively active during the transfer window, Harry Kane is prolific in front of goal and they have a great defence too.
I think that Manchester City will be champions - they've strengthened well over the summer and it's Pep Guardiola's second season in charge now so he'll be looking to improve on last year.
Chris Stark, BBC Radio 1 with Scott Mills, Monday-Friday from 13:00-16:00 BST.
His top 4: 1. Man City 2. Man Utd 3. Watford 4. Chelsea
Most people expect Manchester City to win the title this season but for no other reason than a gut instinct, I think Jose and Manchester United could have it this year.
That said, there needs to be a rapid increase in quality.
But everyone needs to watch out for the mighty Hornets! Being a massive Watford fan I am massively excited for the season ahead - it could be a very good one for us with the right start.
It might take a while for the team to gel but energy, optimism and desire to show what they can do could make this team too much for Liverpool - I see a first win of the season for us at the weekend.

At Stockholm Central Station, hundreds of refugees have been arriving on trains from across Europe every day.

Among them recently was Ali, a young Iraqi in his 20s who says he spent 29 days travelling over sea and land to escape his conflict-ridden homeland in the hope of a better life in northern Europe.
He reels off the countries he has travelled through to get this far: "From Iraq to Turkey, Turkey to Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Denmark and finally Sweden".
On the journey he says he was imprisoned, moved on, or ignored.
"I like Sweden," he says. "My treatment is on another level - I'm a human."
Sweden has a reputation for generosity, having welcomed asylum seekers for decades. But in recent years numbers have substantially increased.
Last year, this country of fewer than 10 million people, received more than 80,000 applications for asylum - the highest number per head of population in the European Union (EU), and second only to Germany.
The latest influx - driven by the rise in numbers fleeing war in Syria - has raised questions about whether the country's "open-door" policy is sustainable.
Critical voices in Sweden (as in other European countries) question whether governments can afford to host refugees at a time when public finances are stretched.
And there is anxiety in Sweden about the impact of integrating so many migrants into the economy and labour market.
Morgan Johansson is Sweden's Migration Minister. He told me it was time for other EU members to "play their part" in offering shelter to refugees.
Mr Johansson says that understanding the significant and positive impact refugees can have on an economy is key, particularly for governments in the ageing countries of northern Europe, where more workers are needed to support the growing number of pensioners.
"Take, for example, the Syrians who are now coming to Sweden," he says.
"One third of them have higher education. They are doctors, engineers, nurses, people we know we will need in the Swedish economy. We need them right now, but we will need them even more in the coming years".
Focussing on realising the economic potential of refugees means that getting them jobs is central to Sweden's integration policies, something the government has invested heavily in over recent years.
The Swedish Public Employment Service (SPES) is the government agency charged with assessing the skills of those granted asylum, arranging additional training or education where required, and matching refugees with potential employers in need of their skills.
Lamis Qandalaft, a 32-year-old banker from Damascus, is one of the success stories of the scheme. Two years ago, she fled to Sweden with her husband after he had been called up to serve in President Bashar al-Assad's army.
This summer, after training and an internship,  she finally landed a job at the headquarters of Swedbank in Stockholm.

Although the couple subsequently divorced, Ms Qandalaft says securing the job has been the foundation of her new life in Sweden.
"They have a good plan for us here," she says. "A plan to study the language and do specialist training.
"All my problems went away when I got the job. Now I have it, it's easier for me to find good accommodation, to live a normal life, to have a better life."
However, efforts to integrate all the refugees that have arrived in Sweden over the past two years into the jobs market have only had a limited success.
According to the SPES itself, in the past 24 months only 30% of refugees put through its integration programme have found jobs or accessed education.
Learning Swedish remains a significant barrier for many trying to enter the labour market, and there are questions about how effectively the majority of refugees, who are low-skilled with little formal education, can expect to contribute to the economy - at least in the short term.
Domestically there are rumblings of discontent with government policy. In a recent opinion poll, the Sweden Democrats, an opposition anti-immigration party, came out as the single most popular party, with the backing of more than a quarter of voters.
The party's migration spokesman Markus Wiechel says the government needs to be more selective about who it lets into the country.
"If you need people with a certain education you should focus on letting those people in," he says. "But right now we're just letting everyone in regardless of their education."
Migration Minister Morgan Johansson rejects that argument.
"There is a moral obligation; we can't pick and choose," he says. "Even people with low skills can be educated, and all human beings have the same value - that is the core of the European Union."


Durham won for the fifth time in six County Championship matches as Michael Richardson's 58 helped them beat Sussex by five wickets at Chester-le-Street.

Sussex, resuming on 112-5, were bowled out for 180 with Chris Rushworth taking 5-38 and Ben Stokes collecting 3-51.
Durham were set 165 to win and they comfortably reached their target.
Richardson scored his third 50 in first-class cricket and Stokes added a further 45 off 60 balls as the hosts made 167-5 to win with a day to spare.
Durham's Paul Collingwood:
"We couldn't have wished for anything better than our finish to the season.
"At the halfway point we had to have a serious change and we all put our hands up and admitted it needed to be better.
"We all stuck in and there was a lot of pride in the second half of the season. We worked hard and deserved those wins.
"We had a little bit of bad luck in the first half of the season. It was unfortunate but I would never put it down to Phil Mustard's captaincy. It was obviously hard on him.
"But we avoided relegation and we all know we have got to do a lot better next season."
Durham coach Geoff Cook:
"I think the efforts of the team deserve praise and they have played really in the latter half of the season.
"We played some teams at the right time and that reflects the change of luck we had.
"Things started to roll for us after the narrow defeat at Arundel against Sussex and we moved on from that on the back of some very strong bowling performances in some bowler-friendly conditions.
"We have had Graham Onions with a huge bag full of wickets with three others getting up around 30 wickets.
"It's a simple formula for doing well in the Championship and in the second part of the season we have won more games than anyone else and ended up with one win less than the leaders."
Sussex coach Mark Robinson:
"From where we were at the beginning of the season, I'm pleased we finished where we did but I am also a little bit disappointed we didn't get over the line in one or two competitions.
"There's not a lot to separate most teams from top to bottom. This game was a nearly game for us and when we needed some big decisions to go our way they didn't.
"We bowled a lot in this game with a wet ball, but things didn't happen when we needed them to.
"You find out about people in games like this. Neither side played on day one but both dug in after that and played well. This was a good test for some of our players, particularly seeing how they handle the likes of Graham Onions running into them.
"However, we missed a few little windows of opportunity in this game to take the game by the scruff of the neck and Durham ran away with it in the end."


Religious groups in the Netherlands have opposed a call from the Royal Dutch Medical Association (RDMA) for male circumcision to be discouraged.

Male circumcision is legal in the Netherlands but the body representing the country's doctors wants to end the practice.
The association is urging politicians to put it on the political agenda.
It is asking parents to think twice before having their sons circumcised because it regards the procedure as dangerous and unnecessary.
Yet others see it as the latest reflection of a political shift in a country that is increasingly pressuring religious groups to stop practising what they preach.
The figures vary but it is estimated that globally 30% of men are circumcised, with about 15,000 boys undergoing the procedure here in the Netherlands every year.
In much of Africa, it is seen as a rite of passage in becoming a man, with boys being taken "to the bush" to spend days hidden away in this ceremonial transition.
In the United States, it is still a relatively common procedure. However, there is a growing lobby opposing it in many parts of the US.
In some states, support for the practice remains strong - protesters in San Francisco have just lost their battle to have it banned.
The World Health Organization says circumcision can help prevent HIV and that, if done properly, there is little chance of complications.
But here in the Netherlands, some doctors disagree. Gert van Dijk is a medical ethicist and one of the authors of the RDMA's anti-circumcision advice.
'We feel circumcision is a medically unnecessary form of surgery. The patient has to give consent, but children can't give consent and we feel that is wrong and a violation of the child's rights," he said.
"In our code of medical ethics, it states that you must not do harm to the patient, but with this procedure this is exactly what you're doing."
The RDMA are fighting against what is a deeply entrenched religious practice.
It is written in the Islamic text the Hadith that Muslim men should "cut the things that grow".
Ibrahim Wijbenga is a Muslim member of the Christian Democratic Appeal in the city of Eindhoven. He was circumcised as a child and, following the family tradition, he had his son circumcised too.
Ibrahim thinks claims that these discussions are medically motivated are nonsense and is campaigning to save the practice.
"It's not that we do something illegal or that we use a rusty knife. The boys in question are anaesthetised so they are looked after by the doctors.
"The motivation is plain Islamophobia. It's not a discussion about medical ethics, it's to make a lot of bad propaganda against Muslims and about our way of life and our religion," Mr Wijbenga said. "Basically, it's an effort to stop Muslims from entering Holland."
Jews, too, fear these anti-circumcision discussions are a serious threat to their faith.
"It's written in the Torah, in the Bible, that we should circumcise the child when the child is 8 days old. What God tells us to do, we must do," said Rabbi Jacobs, one of the Netherlands' most senior religious leaders.
He said that being advised not to circumcise babies would have a dramatic impact on the estimated 30,000 Jews living in the Netherlands. For him, it is worse than being told they cannot cultivate kosher meat.
'I can import (kosher meat) or choose to not eat it, but with circumcision I'm stuck. Even if I take my child to a different country to do it, once I come back the doctor will see that there has been a circumcision and put me in jail.
"If you interfere with this practice, it will totally end the Dutch Jewry in the Netherlands."
Even within the Jewish community, some - albeit a tiny minority - believe circumcision can leave a lasting psychological as well as a physical scar.
"He's grabbed, his legs are pulled apart, and they cut off part of his penis. Now what does it do to the boy's mind? I think it's wrong. I think boys or men have to decide for themselves."
Michael Schaap is speaking from experience. His Jewish parents had him circumcised as a baby. He believes it is "morally wrong to cut off any part of another person's body when there is no medical reason to do it. It's mutilation".
Michael made the controversial documentary "Mum, Why Was I Circumcised?" partly motivated by the anger he felt throughout his teenage years.
"When you do it with a boy, there's no way back. I don't know how sex would be with a prepuce. It made me angry that somebody else decided for me, to do something that I probably would not have done if I was deciding for myself."
Politicians here in The Hague have yet to respond to this increasingly intense public debate, which coincides with the imminent outlawing of ritual slaughter and the proposed burka ban.
Now many Muslims and Jews are concerned their fundamental traditions are under threat and that circumcision may be the next element of religious freedom to be withdrawn.
And that is essentially what makes this such a fiercely contentious issue: the rights of the child versus the rights of religion.


Drivers working on the Tube's Piccadilly line are to be balloted for strikes over what unions said was a "comprehensive breakdown" in relations.

Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union who work on the fourth busiest line will vote next week on whether to start industrial action.
The RMT's Mick Cash said the union was protecting members from an "abuse of procedures" by Tube management.
London Underground (LU) called for talks to "resolve these local issues".
An average of 600,000 passengers use the Piccadilly line each day.
Mick Cash, the RMT's general secretary, claimed workers were being "picked off by a vindictive and aggressive management" who were not "addressing fundamental safety issues".
LU's Operations Director Pat Hansberry said the balloting was "unnecessary" and called for talks to "avoid subjecting Londoners to another pointless strike threat."
In January, all trains on the line had to be inspected after a door opened on a train as it approached Heathrow Terminal 4.
When it happened the RMT claimed it was the fifth time it had occurred in recent weeks, but LU called the door opening an "isolated incident".


Liverpool are poised to win the race to sign Southampton's £50m-rated Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk after it emerged he wants to move to Anfield if he leaves St Mary's.

The 25-year-old is one of the hottest properties on the transfer market.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has made his signing a top priority.
The Reds refused to comment on renewed speculation but it is expected they will intensify efforts to reach a deal with both Southampton and the player.
Chelsea and Manchester City have both been heavily linked with the defender, who joined Southampton from Celtic for £13m in September 2015.
But BBC Sport understands Van Dijk wants to move to Anfield in what would be a major coup for Klopp and Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group, who are willing to spend big after qualification for next season's Champions League.
Liverpool still have to reach an agreement with Southampton - and a demand for a fee well in excess of £50m could mean negotiations will be complicated before any deal nears a conclusion.
Former club Celtic are also understood to have a 10% sell-on agreement.
Van Dijk missed the final five months of the season after sustaining an ankle injury following a challenge by Leicester City's Jamie Vardy in Southampton's 3-0 win at St Mary's on 22 January.
It forced him to miss Southampton's EFL Cup final loss to Manchester United at Wembley.


The number of missing or murdered indigenous women in Canada since 1980 may be as high as 4,000 - far more than previous estimates of 1,200, the federal government has said.

The minister for the status of women said there were no accurate figures because of a lack of hard data.
But Patty Hajdu said research from the Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC) put it at more than 4,000.
A national inquiry is due to begin shortly.
Ms Hajdu and Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett have been speaking to survivors and relatives across Canada.
The inquiry was a key election pledge by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during the campaign last year.
The often cited 1,200 figure came from a 2014 Royal Canadian Mounted Police report on the missing women, related to the period between 1980 and 2012.
"During those discussions, the ministers have heard from participants that they believe the number of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls is higher than 1,200," Ms Bennett said.
In December 2015, Canadian authorities charged a man in the death of one indigenous girl whose murder caused a national outcry.
Raymond Cormier, 53, was charged with second-degree murder in the death of Tina Fontaine, 15, who was found dead in 2014 in Canada's Red River.
A BBC investigation in April revealed that dozens of aboriginal women disappear each year, with many later found dead in the river.
Mr Trudeau has promised an inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women in an appeal to First Nations chiefs.
The public inquiry would be a "top priority" of his newly-elected Liberal government, he said.
Mr Trudeau also pledged increased funding for programming and a review of laws on indigenous peoples.

Justice Minister Jody-Wilson Raybould, Ms Hajdu and Ms Bennett conducted interviews with nearly 2,000 people to start forming the government inquiry, involving survivors, families and loved ones of survivors.
The ministers wanted to "examine the causes of violence against Indigenous women and girls and leads to recommendations for concrete actions to prevent future violence", said Ms Bennett.
"Regardless of the number, the level of indigenous women and girls who have gone missing or were murdered is an ongoing national tragedy that our government is committed to addressing immediately."


Great Britain made an assured start to their Eurobasket preparation programme by beating Ukraine 84-64 in the Patras International tournament opener.

In a strong display with contributions from all 13 players, GB started well and improved throughout the first three quarters to establish a winning lead.
Gabe Olaseni led their scorers with 16 points and Dan Clark and Teddy Okereafor added 11 each.
GB will face Greece in Tuesday's final after the hosts beat Romania.
The first match of a summer that will feature a minimum of 12 games - including at least five in the Eurobasket finals - featured some encouraging signs for GB coach Joe Prunty.
They took the first quarter 26-17 with the aid of two three-pointers each from Clark and Ben Mockford, but it was the crispness of their passing and the energy in their defensive hustle that extended the lead to 41-23 in the second period as they held their opponents scoreless for four and half minutes.
Ahead by 19 at the interval, GB kept up the defensive pressure virtually to the end of the game, allowing their opponents just 35 points in the second half.
Prunty was enthused by the display: "There were a lot of positives, and they came from a lot of people," he told BBC Sport..
"Our spacing was good…I liked the way we shared the ball - like whether we missed something like a screen or the ball, we still kept playing, moving and sharing the ball."


The New York Times is enabling comments on more of its online articles because of an artificial intelligence tool developed by Google.

The software, named Perspective, helps identify "toxic" language, allowing the newspaper's human moderators to focus on non-offensive posts more quickly.
Its algorithms have been trained by feeding them millions of posts previously vetted by the team.
By contrast, several other news sites have shut their comments sections.
Popular Science, Motherboard, Reuters, National Public Radio, Bloomberg and The Daily Beast are among those to have stopped allowing the public to post their thoughts on their sites, in part because of the cost and effort required to vet them for obscene and potentially libellous content.
The BBC restricts comments to a select number of its stories for the same reasons, but as a result many of them end up being complaints about the selection.
Until this week, the New York Times typically placed comment sections on about 10% of its stories.
But it is now targeting a 25% figure and hopes to raise that to 80% by the year's end.
The software works by producing a score out of 100 for how likely it thinks it would be for a human to reject the comment.
The human moderators can then choose to check those comments with a low score first rather than going through them in the order they were received, helping speed up how long it takes to get views online.
According to Jigsaw - the Google division responsible for the software - use of phrases such as "anyone who... is a moron", "you are ignorant" and the inclusion of swear words are likely to produce a high mark.
"Most comments will initially be prioritised based on a 'summary score'," explained the NYT's community editor Bassey Etim.
"Right now, that means judging comments on three factors: their potential for obscenity, toxicity and likelihood to be rejected.
"As the Times gains more confidence in this summary score model, we are taking our approach a step further - automating the moderation of comments that are overwhelmingly likely to be approved."
However, one expert had mixed feelings about the move.
"The idea strikes me as sensible, but likely to restrict forthright debates," City University London's Prof Roy Greenslade told the BBC.
"I imagine the New York Times thinks this to be an acceptable form of self-censorship, a price worth paying in order to ensure that hate speech and defamatory remarks are excluded from comments.
"There is also a commercial aspect too. Human moderation costs money. Algorithms are cheaper, but you still need humans to construct them, of course."
Jigsaw says the UK's Guardian and Economist are also experimenting with its tech, while Wikipedia is trying to adapt it to tackle personal attacks against its volunteer editors.
However, it faces a challenge from a rival scheme called the Coral Project, which released an AI-based tool in April to flag examples of hate speech and harassment in online discussions.
The Washington Post and the Mozilla Foundation - the organisation behind the Firefox browser - are both involved in Coral.
For its part, the BBC is keeping an open mind about deploying such tools.
'We have systems in place to help moderate comments on BBC articles and we're always interested in ways to improve this," said a spokesman.
"This could include AI or machine learning in the future, but we have no current plans."


A teenage girl who asked police to find her cigarettes before attacking officers has been sentenced to 120 days detention.

Megan Duffy, 19, phoned police to report an assault and when they arrived to investigate she told them she "wanted her fags."
When the officers told her they could not help, Duffy lashed out at the officers and spat at them.
Her solicitor told a court that it was a "particularly horrible" incident.
Depute fiscal Bill Kermode told Perth Sheriff Court: "Police were contacted by her on the 101 number to say she had been grabbed by the hair.
"Due to her slurred speech it was hard to get details from her.
"The officers went to investigate and she stated she 'wanted her fags' from within the property where she had been living."
A woman at the flat said she did not want Duffy to return there because of her demeanour.
Mr Kermode said: "They explained to her that there was nothing belonging to her in the flat and that she wasn't allowed to stay there anymore.
"She was put in a police van and was up and down in her behaviour.
"It took three officers to hold her to calm her down."
The court heard Duffy assaulted two officers and spat on the charge bar before being placed in an observation cell.
When Duffy sobered up, she apologised to the officers and said: "I spat on her, that's disgusting."
Duffy admitted two charges of assault and a charge of behaving in a threatening and abusive manner on 16 July at addresses in Coupar Angus and Perth.
Solicitor Steve Lafferty, defending, said: "She recognises she has a problem with alcohol and it is up to her to get it sorted.
"She did apologise. It is particularly horrible to spit on an officer."


The IRA's ruling body, the 'army council' still exists, but has a "wholly political focus", the Northern Ireland secretary has said.

Theresa Villiers was detailing the findings of an official assessment of paramilitary activity in NI.
Following her statement, the DUP said its ministers who resigned from Stormont would now return to office.
They resigned when police blamed members of the IRA for killing a man in Belfast in August.
In short: Assessment of paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland
DUP leader Peter Robinson will resume his job as Northern Ireland first minister after stepping aside in September.
He said: "After all this time there shouldn't be any structures and there shouldn't be an army council, but it really is a distinction without a difference to say there's something special about the army council being involved.
"Does somebody think the people in the army council have different fingerprints than the people who are in the leadership of Sinn Fein? I don't, never have."
The report into paramilitarism in Northern Ireland was commissioned following the murder of Kevin McGuigan Sr.
The police's belief that current IRA members were involved in the killing led to a political crisis.
Sinn Féin insists that the Provisional IRA has gone away and no longer exists.
The report was compiled by the police and the security service, MI5.
Speaking in the House of Commons, she said the assessment showed the IRA and other main paramilitary groups that operated during the Troubles still existed.
The Northern Ireland secretary said that even if these groups wanted to return to terrorism "they would be unable to resurrect the capability demonstrated at their peak".
Key points of the report
Ms Villiers said while the security assessment states that Provisional IRA members believe that the 'army council' oversees both the IRA and Sinn Féin with an overarching strategy, it judges this has a "wholly political focus".
The Northern Ireland secretary told MPs the police and MI5 assessment showed that the IRA "is not involved in targeting or conducting terrorist attacks against the state".
She added that some individual IRA members remain involved in criminal activity, such as large scale smuggling.
In a statement, the DUP said: "This report largely confirms the assessment of the chief constable, in August, when he indicated that IRA structures existed and that members and former members had been involved in illegal activity though not sanctioned by the leadership who he stated were wedded to the peace process.
"We sought an up to date assessment by the PSNI and security services to inform our future decisions.  That is now available to us.  It confirms the Chief Constable's August statement rather than the contradictory implications that flowed from the arrest of Bobby Storey and on that basis ministers will be appointed to office later today."
Mr Storey, a former IRA prisoner, is the northern chairman of Sinn Féin.
He was one of three senior republicans arrested and later released without charge in connection with the murder of Mr McGuigan.
Responding to the assessment, Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said Sinn Féin is now the only organisation involved in the republican struggle.
"Republicans who support the Good Friday Agreement support the political institutions, support the peace process and don't represent a threat to anyone in the community," he said.
"There are, of course, enormous and urgent issues to be dealt with around the existence of armed groups, paramilitaries and criminality.
"We all have a responsibility to deal with these issues to tackle criminality and bring paramilitarism to an end and Sinn Féin will play a full part in this important work."
In respect of loyalist paramilitaries, Ms Villiers said the assessment showed the Ulster Defence Association and the Ulster Volunteer Force had access to some weapons, despite both organisations decommissioning in 2009 and 2010.
She said members, including some senior figures were involved in organised crime.


Gary Anderson defeated Adrian Lewis 7-5 to retain his PDC World Championship crown at Alexandra Palace.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The 45-year-old Scot, who miscounted on three occasions, fought off a valiant fightback from the Englishman in the latter stages.
The first six sets were shared in the first-to-seven encounter, before Anderson took a 5-3 advantage.
Englishman Lewis fought back for 6-5 before Anderson made a superb 170 checkout en route to a £300,000 prize.
Anderson, the world number two, went ahead against the darts in the seventh set and never relinquished the lead.
But his victory could have been easier had he not made three mathematical errors.
At one stage, he had 50 left but bust his score by hitting a treble 20.
Despite averaging 99.26 to his opponent's 100.23, Anderson's greater accuracy on the doubles saw him lift the Sid Waddell Trophy for the second year in succession.
He joined Phil Taylor, Lewis and John Part in winning the tournament at least twice.
"I was playing a good friend of mine and it just never happened," said Anderson, who beat Phil Taylor in a thrilling final last year.
"There were some good darts and some bad ones.
"The way I played and the way Adie played, it killed the game. I'm getting old now so I'll take this.
"It would be lovely to come back for a third but the body is hurting. Us older ones are running out, but I'll plod on."
Lewis, the 30-year-old from Stoke-on-Trent, tasted defeat in the final for the first time after victories in 2011 and 2012, the first of which was against Anderson.
"I thought we were going to a decider until he took out a 170," said Lewis. "He's been the best player and deserves it."


Consumers are to be asked to consider whether people working in their local nail bar, car wash or shop might have been trafficked into the country.

The new Scottish government guidelines are part of the country's first human trafficking strategy.
Scots will be urged to look for signs that people have been trafficked and ask whether what they are buying has been made by someone forced to work.
The move comes as figures show trafficking has increased in Scotland.
Last year there were 145 potential victims of trafficking identified in Scotland - a 31% increase on the previous year.
More than a third were trafficked into forced labour. Another third were forced to work in the sex industry.
The strategy, which will now go out to public consultation, states: "We will inform the public, encouraging them to question and reject the exploitation of other human beings and to think about how what they buy and what they do could contribute to this crime.
"We will highlight the fact that trafficking and exploitation do not only happen across international borders, but also within the UK and Scotland. Alongside this we will seek to identify those areas where victims brought to Scotland come from."
It follows revelations by BBC Scotland about increases in child trafficking.
Kiet told BBC Scotland his brother was involved in a real estate investment which went wrong - leaving his  brother owing gangsters the equivalent of Â£700,000. He said the gangsters killed his brother and then told Kiet they owned him. He was trafficked to the UK.
"When I arrived in [Northern] Ireland, strong men took me to a house and I was locked there. After a week I was taken to a school in the city where I learnt English four times a week.
"That was the only job I was told to do. I just went to the school and back to the house. I couldn't go out anywhere."
After two months, Kiet was taken to another house in Belfast with three others.
"I was locked at the house and I was threatened not to do anything or I would be killed.
"I didn't understand the language and when I was threatened I was so scared.
"I was brought to Scotland and arrested by police. At that time I told them I was a victim of the trafficking."
Kiet was taken to the Dungavel Immigration Removal Centre before being helped by the charity Migrant Help.
"I felt happy and comfortable in Scotland. I was given some money and now I have a place to live.
"I want to start a new life - that's why I'm learning a new language so I can get a job and earn my own money so I don't have to depend on the social money.
"I have applied to be refugee and I'm waiting for it to be approved by the authorities."
One of the main aims of the strategy is to provide more support for victims.
Figures shows many victims are forced into illegal activities with threats and violence, including being forced to work in cannabis farms.
The strategy states there is a "strong presumption against prosecution" in such cases.
However, the BBC understands that some who claim to have been victims of trafficking and have been forced to work in cannabis cultivation have faced charges regardless.
A spokesman for the Crown Office said: "Where there are concerns that an accused is a genuine victim of human trafficking, those concerns will be fully explored and taken into account when deciding whether or not it is in the public interest to prosecute.
"There is a strong presumption against the prosecution of a credible trafficked victim for crimes which arise as a consequence of the accused being a victim of human trafficking."
The Crown Office said identifying genuine victims of human trafficking was a "complex task".
The new Human Trafficking and Exploitation Act, which came into force in Scotland earlier this year, created a new offence of trafficking with a possible maximum life sentence.
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: "The number of trafficking victims identified and rescued in Scotland rose by 46% in the two years up to 2015.
"Today's draft strategy sets out the approach to address trafficking and exploitation, aimed at exposing and eradicating these crimes."
He added: "I encourage anyone who has encountered such crimes - as a victim or witness or any other interested party - to have their say and help shape our action against these vile criminals. There must be no place to hide for them in Scotland."
John Merralls, UK operations manager and deputy head at Migrant Help UK, said: "Migrant Help UK welcomes publication of the Scottish government strategy on combating human trafficking in Scotland.
"The strategy establishes a clear blueprint for the future and represents a commitment to working in partnership with all relevant agencies and providers across national and international borders to achieving its aims."
Deputy Chief Constable Johnny Gwynne of Police Scotland said: "Trafficking is a challenging and complex issue to investigate, with most cases being protracted and involving law enforcement in more than one country, both in the UK, Europe and internationally.
"Trafficking is often a hidden crime and its victims frequently don't see themselves as such, therefore we proactively look for victims.
The officer asked the public and businesses to be "socially and ethically aware", adding: "If you suspect someone is being exploited and may have been trafficked, please contact us on 101."
A spokesperson for Community Safety Glasgow, which delivers the Trafficking Awareness Raising Alliance service, said: "This is the first time Scotland has ever set out a strategy to tackle human trafficking and we look forward to continuing to make a detailed contribution to the crucial, national dialogue."


A new £4m art gallery that would incorporate a tourist information centre and include a restaurant, could be built in Dorset.

Sherborne Community Arts Centre Trust hopes to create the venue on a site behind the town's Paddock Gardens on Newland.
The plans also include three gallery spaces, a coffee shop and a sensory or memory garden.
The town council wants a public consultation to be held over the plans.
An anonymous benefactor has agreed to fund the project which is expected to cost more than £4m, the trust said.
The group wants the main entrance to the venue to be created through Paddock Gardens, which is currently owned by the town council, and would involve removing one of its stone walls.
Up to five small "pod" galleries have also been proposed for the gardens.
The trust estimates the gallery could attract between 50,000 and 80,000 visitors a year.
The town council will discuss the plans at a meeting later in a bid to set up a public consultation at Digby Hall on Hound Street.
The town's current tourist information centre is based on Digby Road.


Charlton and Coventry fans threw hundreds of plastic pigs on the pitch in a joint protest that interrupted Saturday's match at The Valley.

The supporters were protesting against the two League One clubs' respective owners, and had also organised a joint march to the stadium before the game.
Play was delayed for about five minutes while the pigs were cleared.
Charlton went on to win the match 3-0, meaning Coventry remain bottom.
Fans of the London side have made repeated protests against owner Roland Duchatelet's running of the club.
At the end of last season, they threw beach balls and stress balls onto the pitch and Coventry supporters have also been calling on owners Sisu to sell the club.
Charlton manager Russell Slade told BBC Radio London:
"It was different, I've got to say. Protests are something that's happened down the centuries, that's what we do.
"When we're frustrated, people are entitled to voice an opinion and the fans have done that today. All I think is as long as it's done in the right manner and it's done safely, then that's fine.
"Our focus has got to be that we're delivering on the pitch and we're working exceptionally hard to do that and to turn it around."
BBC journalist Ian Shoesmith at The Valley:
"The plastic pigs were hurled onto the pitch from all around the stadium.
"It was completely simultaneous - and had obviously been planned in advance by the two pressure groups opposed to the owners of both clubs.
"It followed a well-attended joint march from Charlton railway station by Addicks and Sky Blues fans."


Nick Clegg is preparing to fight his final general election, many of his senior colleagues believe.

Several MPs have told me there is an unspoken assumption that he will stand down as Liberal Democrat leader in the next Parliament - whatever the result in May.
While Lib Dems are fighting for their political lives in constituencies, they are thinking hard about life after Clegg.
Their leader's career could end with defeat in his Sheffield Hallam seat, of course, or in resignation after a terrible election performance.
But even if he manages to prove the polls wrong - as he insists is possible - it would be very natural for him to stand down in 2017, one senior MP says.
It is widely thought he has not asked his wife Miriam to endure more than two general elections, another insists.
Clegg's aides dismiss such talk - he intends to be the leader through the whole of the next Parliament they say.
That is not what plenty of his colleagues expect though, and several are positioning themselves to fight to replace him.
They eye left-leaning Tim Farron with suspicion.
Two campaigns to be the party's president, one successful, have given him much more contact with members - who will elect the new leader - than any of his rivals.
He gets a lot of press.
MPs use almost identical terms to describe him criss-crossing the country eating rubbery chicken at meals with activists, who he showers with praise.
Some are dismissive - Farron is a good campaigner they say, but "not cerebral". Others use more forthright terms to dismiss his abilities.
The party's former leader Lord Ashdown told 5 Live: "Tim's a very able guy but at the moment judgement is not his strong suit."
His rivals, like the health minister Norman Lamb, are growing increasingly explicit about their ambitions.
If there is a contest, the energy secretary Ed Davey will want to stand, and he too has backers.
Those who are not talking about life after Clegg in public worry they too should give interviews for fear of not being regarded as a contender.
Who else? Jo Swinson, equalities minister, should also be a candidate one well-respected figure tells me, provided she is still an MP after the election.
Lib Dems suspect Treasury minister Danny Alexander of harbouring leadership ambitions, but he too faces a tough fight to hold his seat and many in the party regard him as having grown far too close to the Chancellor George Osborne.
A definitive list is hard to complete though because Lib Dems only need the support of 10% of the party's MPs to stand.
If the general election goes as badly as the polls suggest a would-be leader could comfortably fit the necessary supporters in a cosy phone box.
It could be a crowded contest.


Vulnerable eastern Europeans trafficked to Plymouth were ordered to cut grass with a kitchen knife and clean a car with a rag, a court has heard.

Plymouth Crown Court heard the victims, from the Czech Republic, slept in garages while the defendants pocketed their wages and benefits.
The victims were described as "malnourished and unkempt".
Five defendants deny conspiracy to traffic for the purpose of exploitation.
The defendants are:
Malcolm Galloway, prosecuting, said "at least three of the alleged victims were living in a garage" and Petr Tancos had "encouraged his children to throw stones at them", the court heard.
The court was also told that when Ruzena Tancosova was arrested last September after a police raid, she asked how long she would be in prison.
Intelligence officer Det Con Neil Albrechtsen told the court he stumbled across information in 2012 which led him to Josef Bukovinsky, the first immigrant interviewed by police.
He said while checking records he realised Bukovinsky and Josef Stepan, also Czech, had applied to the United Kingdom Border Agency for repatriation.
The trial continues.


The US has transferred nine Yemeni prisoners from the Guantanamo Bay detention facility in Cuba to Saudi Arabia, officials say.

The Saudis agreed to take the prisoners because Yemen was considered too unstable for them to return them to.
The transfer leaves 80 prisoners at the US military jail - most of whom have been held without charge or trial for more than a decade.
President Obama wants to close the prison before he leaves office.
The BBC's Laura Bicker in Washington says that the transfer of the nine has been a long sought-after deal between Washington and Riyadh and comes just days before President Obama touches down in Saudi Arabia for a summit of Gulf Arab allies.
Life after Guantanamo prison
Will Guantanamo prison finally close?
The move is part of a push by the presidential administration to release detainees deemed low-risk. The White House wants to transfer the remainder to the US but Congress is opposed.
"The United States is grateful to the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its humanitarian gesture and willingness to support ongoing US efforts to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility," a Pentagon statement said.
The most high profile inmate to be freed is Tariq Ba Odah who has been force-fed daily since he went on hunger strike in 2007.
"Mr Ba Odah's transfer today ends one of the most appalling chapters in Guantanamo's sordid history," said Omar Farah, one of his lawyers.
All of those recently released will be put through a government-run rehabilitation programme in Saudi Arabia which aims to reintegrate militants back into society, American officials say.
The latest releases mean that the number of inmates in Guantanamo Bay is the lowest in its 14-year history. Another 26 detainees have been approved to leave the base by the end of the summer.
The White House in February presented a plan to Congress to close the Guantanamo Bay - which costs $445m (Â£316m) to run annually.
The prison is located on an American naval base in south-eastern Cuba. Former US President George W Bush opened it to accommodate foreign terror suspects after the 9/11 attacks on the US.
White House officials say they cannot give any names of people being held, but the New York Times has its own list.


British travellers to France are being urged to think ahead after days of industrial action disrupted travel and left fuel in short supply across much of the country.

Plenty of Britons are expected to head over for the coming bank holiday weekend and next week's school half-term break.
How might they be affected?
Strikes and blockades by workers disrupted six of France's eight oil refineries this week. However, all but one of the fuel depots being blockaded have now been freed.
France's CGT union announced on Friday it would be holding an indefinite strike at the Total petrol refinery in Donges.
The availability of fuel at petrol stations is now reported to be improving slightly, but there may still be shortages and queues, especially in Brittany, Normandy and northern France, of half an hour or an hour.
Port workers in Marseille, Cherbourg, Le Havre and St Malo have also taken industrial action.
And there been disruption on some high-speed TGV rail services, as well as regional and commuter trains.
Fuel purchasing restrictions have been put in place by local authorities in some parts of France.
Some petrol stations may have run out of some types of fuel. Fuel rationing may be imposed, and drivers may not be able to fill up jerrycans either.
The Mon-essence.fr website has produced a map developed from its mobile app data to help motorists identify petrol stations where fuel is not available.
This site said on Friday morning that about 52%, or about 5,300 out of 10,246 petrol stations in France, were reporting partial or total shortages of fuel.
The Carbeo website also has information on fuel availability.
French Transport Minister Alain Vidalies said on Thursday that 40% of petrol stations around Paris were struggling to get fuel.
The French Petrol Industries Union said the government had authorised the use of strategic reserves, with analysts estimating that the country has four months of fuel reserves.
The UK Foreign Office has issued travel advice for those heading over to France.
French ambassador to the UK Sylvie Bermann said the country was doing "everything possible" to ease travel problems ahead of the Euro 2016 football tournament, due to begin in two weeks.
"I think you can travel, obviously, but if you can have some fuel before that, maybe it's better," she added.
The RAC is discouraging UK drivers from taking extra fuel supplies over to France.
Aside from the safety risks, authorities only allow drivers to carry an additional 10 litres of fuel with them upon entering French territory.
Also, most ferry operators do not permit the carrying of any additional fuel in cans, the motoring body says.
Earlier this week, the AA reported taking calls from motorists who had run out of fuel in France. It is advising people to fill up before crossing the Channel.
Shell says it has seen an increase in demand at its petrol station on the M20, near Folkestone, while BP says it has not seen any rise in demand for fuel, with usual deliveries scheduled for stations in Kent.
The transport of petrol cans onboard Brittany Ferries' ships is forbidden. The transport of diesel in vehicles is only permitted in containers or jerrycans specifically constructed for the carriage of diesel and to a maximum of 5 litres per vehicle.
Fuel cans must not be brought on board DFDS Seaways ferries.
P&O Ferries said on Twitter that passengers were now able to bring five litres of spare fuel on board, provided it was in an "approved container".
Eurotunnel allows up to 30 litres of fuel to be driven over, depending on the type of container.
Some parts of France have restrictions on carrying fuel.
The Prefecture of the Pas-de-Calais says that "in order to limit the fuel of users and for safety reasons", it is illegal to sell, purchase, distribute or transport fuel in "packaged form" such as jerrycans or cans.
Brittany Ferries says some of Friday's scheduled trips have been disrupted, following some cancellations on Thursday.
P&O Ferries is not reporting any delays with its Dover to Calais service.
DFDS Seaways is also not reporting delays on its services to Dunkirk and Calais.
Rebecca Elder from Aberdeen has been travelling through France after studying in Angers, reaching Poland yesterday.
She says her fellow students all had trains cancelled or rescheduled.
"Getting round Angers has taken double the time," she said.
"There have been lots of flight delays from Nantes or Charles de Gaulle airports, and in the past few days I've had friends who have struggled to find fuel to drive home or they've hit blocked roads.
"I would tell British travellers to leave extra time and have back up plans."
Ms Elder also described tensions as being "a lot higher in the Loire, Normandy and Bordeaux regions".
Workers at oil refineries, nuclear power stations, ports and on the railways downed tools amid growing industrial action over controversial labour reforms.
These include making the 35-hour working week an average time, firms being given greater freedom to reduce pay and easing the conditions for laying off workers - currently strongly regulated in France.
Staff at 16 of France's 19 nuclear power plants have also voted for a one-day strike.
French President Francois Hollande has said he will not back down over the dispute, but Prime Minister Manuel Valls has signalled that the reform package could be modified.
What are strikes about?


A Microsoft Research chief has said he thinks artificial intelligence systems could achieve consciousness, but has played down the threat to human life.

Eric Horvitz's position contrasts with that of several other leading thinkers.
Last December, Prof Stephen Hawking told the BBC that such machines could "spell the end of the human race".
Mr Horvitz also revealed that "over a quarter of all attention and resources" at his research unit were now focused on AI-related activities.
"There have been concerns about the long-term prospect that we lose control of certain kinds of intelligences," he said.
"I fundamentally don't think that's going to happen.
"I think that we will be very proactive in terms of how we field AI systems, and that in the end we'll be able to get incredible benefits from machine intelligence in all realms of life, from science to education to economics to daily life."
Mr Horvitz heads up a team of scientists and engineers at Microsoft Research's main lab at its parent company's Redmond headquarters.
The division's work on AI has already helped give rise to Cortana - a voice-controlled virtual assistant that runs on the Windows Phone platform and will shortly come to desktop PCs when Windows 10 is released.
Mr Horvitz said that he believed Cortana and its rivals would spur on development of the field.
"The next if not last enduring competitive battlefield among major IT companies will be artificial intelligence," he said.
"The notion that systems that can think, listen, hear, collect data from thousands of user experiences - and we synthesise it back to enhance its services over time - has come to the forefront now.
"We have Cortana and Siri and Google Now setting up a competitive tournament for where's the best intelligent assistant going to come from... and that kind of competition is going to heat up the research and investment, and bring it more into the spotlight."
Mr Horvitz's comments were posted online in a video marking his receipt of the AAAI Feigenbaum Prize - an award for "outstanding advances" in AI research.
But while the Microsoft executive describes himself as being "optimistic" about how humans might live alongside artificial intelligences, others are more cautious.
The physicist Prof Hawking has warned that conscious machines would develop at an ever-increasing rate once they began to redesign themselves.
"Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be superseded," he said.
Elon Musk - chief executive of car firm Tesla and rocket-maker SpaceX - has also suggested AI poses the greatest "existential threat" humankind faces.
"With artificial intelligence, we are summoning the demon," he told an audience of students in October.
"In all those stories where there's the guy with the pentagram and the holy water, it's like yeah he's sure he can control the demon. Didn't work out."
The Spectrum computer's inventor Sir Clive Sinclair has gone even further, saying he believes it is unavoidable that artificial intelligences will wipe out mankind.
"Once you start to make machines that are rivalling and surpassing humans with intelligence, it's going to be very difficult for us to survive," he told the BBC. "It's just an inevitability."
Several recent and forthcoming films have also focused on how people might handle the potential threat AI poses, including Ex Machina, Transcendence, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Chappie and Terminator Genisys.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Mr Horvitz voiced a preference for 2014's Her, charting the relationship of a flirtatious Cortana-like app and its owner.
He did, however, acknowledge one concern: AI systems risk invading people's privacy, since they will become capable of making ever-deeper inferences about users by "weaving together" the mass of data generated by human activities.
But, he added, AI itself might offer a solution to this problem.
"We've been working with systems that can figure out exactly what information they would best need to provide the best service for a population of users, and at the same time then limit the [privacy] incursion on any particular user," he said.
"You might be told, for example, in using this service you have a one in 10,000 chance of having a query ever looked at... each person only has to worry about as much as they worry about being hit by a bolt of lightning, it's so rare.
"So, I believe that machine learning, reasoning and AI more generally will be central in providing great tools for ensuring the privacy of folks at the same time as allowing services to acquire data anonymously or with only low probabilities of risk to any particular person."


Mansfield Town manager Steve Evans has made three additions to his side as the January transfer window opens.

Midfielder Joel Byrom, 30, has joined on an undisclosed length contract after being released by Northampton Town
Goalkeeper Jake Kean has joined on loan from Championship side Sheffield Wednesday, with the 25-year-old staying at Field Mill until the summer.
Twenty-year-old Sheffield United midfielder Ben Whiteman has also joined on loan until the end of the season.
"When we came in it was important for all of us that we increased competition in all areas of the pitch,"  Evans told the club website.
"We have to be ruthless in our recruitment and are making sure we're doing that."

The Canadian military has investigated a mysterious pinging sound coming from the sea floor in a remote region of the Arctic, officials have told the BBC.

The strange noise is reported by local people to have frightened animals away over the past few months.
A military aircraft conducted various multi-sensor searches in the area, officials said on Friday.
But the military says it is so far unable to explain the cause of the "acoustic anomalies".
"The [aircraft] crew did not detect any surface or sub-surface contacts," the military said in a statement released to the BBC.
"The only thing the crew did observe were two pods of whales and six walruses in the area of interest."
A spokesman in the department of national defence in Ottawa said the cause of the pinging noise - which locals say can even be heard through the hulls of boats  - remains a mystery.
The sound, sometimes also described as a "hum" or a "beep", has been heard throughout the summer in Fury and Hecla Strait, legislative assembly member Paul Quassa told CBC, about 120km (74 miles) north-west of the hamlet of Igloolik.
The area is a narrow channel of water in Nunavut, which is the newest, largest and least populous territory of Canada, located next to Greenland.
"It's one of the major hunting areas in the summer and winter because it's an area of open water surrounded by ice that's abundant with sea mammals," Mr Quassa said.
"And this time around, this summer, there were hardly any. And this became a suspicious thing."
Another MLA member was quoted by CBC as saying the area is normally a migratory route for bowhead whales and various kinds of seals.
"But this summer there was none," he said.
Various explanations for the sound have been put forward by the Canadian press:
However, local mining companies insist they do not work in the area, Greenpeace has denied it is responsible and the military say no submarines - either domestic or foreign - are known to have operated in the area.
"The cause of the pings remains mired in mystery," the defence spokesman said.


Fraud experts are warning that hundreds of thousands of people are in danger of being duped into laundering money for fraudsters.

They are being recruited as unwitting "money mules"  who allow their own bank accounts to be used to disguise the proceeds of crime.
The study was carried out by Financial Fraud Action, which tackles fraud on behalf of  banks.
It said that students and jobseekers could be especially vulnerable.
Some 19% of students who had been approached had agreed to become money mules.
"It's a very serious problem," warns DCI Dave Carter, an investigator from Financial Fraud Action.
"Almost every single criminal transaction that goes on depends on money mules, to turn the money from crime into something the criminals can spend themselves."
The fraudsters contact likely targets by sending out mass emails offering employment, or after sifting through CVs posted by job seekers on employment websites.
Then they offer jobs as "money transfer agents", "payment processing agents" or "administration assistants" for salaries of hundreds of pounds a week.
It looks like a proper job offer, but the real purpose is to channel cash from criminal activity through a person's own bank account, making them the fraudster's money mule.
Kayleigh Rance has been hunting for work for a year. She was taken in and even signed a contract. Then, luckily, she pulled out.
"It just makes you feel a bit sick," she complains, "I feel like I've got to go through all the websites now and take my CV off because I don't want it to happen again."
The dirty cash comes from credit card fraud, money stolen from bank accounts and other rip-offs.
Paying it into the money mule's account disguises where it comes from. The mule transfers it to an account in an overseas bank, controlled by the fraudster. It is classic money laundering.
Some money mules are paid by a straightforward cut of the cash being handled. A typical share would be 8%.
The first mules tended to be new entrants to the UK, processing funds generated by crime within their own communities in London and other major cities.
But the power of the internet has allowed the perpetrators to start targeting other groups, including students desperate to earn some extra cash.
Financial Fraud Action commissioned ICM to question 2,000 adults along with separate groups exclusively made up of students, jobseekers and new entrants to the UK.
Around 15% had received the suspect job offers. Overall 6% of those who had been approached accepted the offers, rising to 13% of the unemployed, 19% of students and 20% of new entrants.
Crimestoppers is running a campaign in universities across the UK to warn students not to be fooled into becoming involved, telling them: "Don't be a mule!".
Megan Owen, who is studying criminology, volunteered to help at one recent event in Birmingham City University.
"Lots of students we approached said they'd been affected or their friends had been affected," she said.
Extrapolating from its survey, Financial Fraud Action concludes that 380,000 people could have become unwitting money mules.
The figure is a stab in the dark, but it is clear that the problem is becoming worse and that few of those who become involved understand the risks they are running.
Their bank accounts could be frozen. If prosecuted, they could be sent to prison for up to 10 years.
"It's a colossal risk," warns DCI Carter. "In fact you are taking almost all the risk on behalf of the criminal. That's why they ask - the money mules are the ones most likely to be caught."


Three days after the first general election in 1974, which led to Harold Wilson unexpectedly taking office as prime minister of a minority Labour government, his friend and colleague Barbara Castle sat down in her bolthole, Hell Corner Farm, in the Buckinghamshire countryside to update her diary.

"So here we go for a bumpy ride," she wrote.
It was, if anything, something of an underestimate of the five years that lay ahead.
It was already obvious that day, that a second election would have to be held.
After a difficult few months, Wilson went to the country in October and was rewarded with an overall majority of just three seats in the House of Commons.
Yet during that spring and summer, despite numerous parliamentary defeats, the government took steps to control inflation, keep mortgage rates down, and reduce VAT.
It also introduced legislation on sharing the revenues of North Sea oil more fairly than before, and established a social contract with the trade unions to try to limit strike action through agreed controls on pay rises.
Once he had a majority government, the limits that were imposed on Wilson's subsequent ability to manage a competent administration, were more often to come from political problems within his own party than from his slender overall command of the Commons.
So it may also prove for David Cameron, recently re-installed as prime minister, but now for the first time as a man with a mandate.
He has an overall majority in the House of 12 seats, considerably less than the 76 he could count on in coalition with the Liberal Democrats.
But as Wilson and his successor, James Callaghan, found in the 1970s there will be many occasions when some of the smaller parties may willingly pitch in to support the government.
February:
Labour: Seats won: 301, up 20. Share of vote: 37.2%
Conservative: Seats won: 297, down 37. Share of vote: 37.9%
Liberal: Seats won: 14, up eight. Share of vote: 19.3%
Turnout: 78.8%
October:
Labour: Seats won: 319, up 18. Share of vote: 39.2%
Conservative: Seats won: 277, down 20. Share of vote: 35.8%
Liberal: Seats won: 13, down 1. Share of vote: 18.3%
Turnout: 72.8%
Uncanny political parallels with 1974
It was, as Castle predicted, a bumpy ride, but it was also an immensely exciting one.
I had already worked at Westminster for three years at the time but I became a lobby correspondent in 1974 and therefore had access to the inside track of the political circuit.
It was in the bars and lobbies and restaurants that the planning and plotting and political manoeuvring took place.
But the chamber of the Commons itself was also one of the most rewarding places to observe the spectacle of government.
Time and time again I can recall sliding into my seat in the Press Gallery, wondering how on earth Wilson was going to get out of whatever the latest crisis was to engulf him.
Summoning up the spirit of those fevered times is not difficult in the context of the following:
It was perhaps scarcely surprising, as Bernard Donoughue, head of the Number 10 Policy Unit, noted repeatedly in his Downing Street Diaries, that Wilson was cracking open the brandy bottle at noon and knocking it back until late at night.
Wilson was a superb operator with a mastery of the House of Commons but the strains took their toll.
He became increasingly paranoid about leaks and the press and the security services, about his warring party and supposed colleagues and the fact - yes, Barbara! - that so many of them were keeping diaries with a view to publication.
He hated Question Time and needed those brandies just to get through the then 30-minute session once a week.
His decision to resign in 1976 astonished the political world at the time but maybe in retrospect it should not have been such a surprise.
The Labour government had by then achieved a great deal without the necessity to compromise, except occasionally with its own supporters, but it was hard fought.
Four nights a week there would be crucial votes, sometimes a series of votes lasting a couple of hours, from 10pm. It was an administration run by a necessarily powerful Whips' Office and what was to follow under Callaghan would prove even more tense.
In early 1977 the Callaghan government lost its overall majority, which had been whittled away in by-elections, and the new leader of the Opposition, Margaret Thatcher, put down a vote of no confidence.
It led to negotiations with the Liberal leader, David Steel, at the head of a group of 13 MPs, for the formation of the Lib-Lab Pact.
It was an agreement under which the Liberals supported the government in return for policy consultation, and lasted until the autumn of 1978.
The Liberals got little from it, apart from a tweak at the black petticoat of power, but by then it was anticipated that Callaghan would shortly call an election.
His failure to do so and the subsequent industrial "winter of discontent" would lead to Labour being out of government for 18 years.
David Cameron is on an electoral honeymoon at the moment but the forthcoming Queen's Speech will give the new Commons a taste of what lies ahead.
It will also serve notice to the Conservative government's opponents in the House of Lords, where it is heavily outnumbered by the current composition of the upper House.
And then there is, as ever, the question of Europe.
The prime minister and his chief whip, Mark Harper, might both find a study of the 1970s quite helpful over the next few days.


Children are unaware of what causes cancer, with a small number believing they can get it from behaving badly, suggests a poll by Macmillan Cancer Support.

The survey of 500 children aged nine to 16-years-old found that 97% do not know that sunburn can cause cancer - although 91% do know smoking causes it.
The charity says the results suggest children are ill-informed about cancer.
Teachers need to educate school children on cancer, it adds.
The children who responded to the poll also do not appear to know what it means to have cancer.
One in five think it is always fatal, while more than half say they do not know what it is.
And 4% even think cancer can be caught from someone else.
Despite this, two-thirds of the children polled know someone who has been diagnosed with cancer, though more than half say the word 'cancer' makes them feel frightened.
Katherine Donnelly from Macmillan Cancer Support said many people, including teachers, think that young children should be protected from talking about cancer.
"In many ways, it's still a bit of a taboo subject. Not all teachers feel confident about talking about it or know where to get the facts and figures from.
"The results showed that as children got older there was a slight increase in the number of those that had been taught about cancer, but not a hugely significant number."
Miss Donnelly added: "As cancer affects more and more people, the chances of children knowing someone with the condition grows - be that their grandparent, parent or friend. This can be really distressing and they may feel too worried to ask questions.
"Just over a quarter of children have been taught about cancer at school and this needs to improve."
The charity has produced an information pack called Talking About Cancer to allow teachers to plan lessons around the subject.


Chris Froome moved four seconds behind leader Alberto Contador after stage four of the Criterium du Dauphine.

Norway's Edvald Boasson Hagen won the 176km stage from Tain-l'Hermitage to Belley.
Team Sky's Froome, 31, gained nine seconds on Contador after the Spaniard was caught on the wrong side of a split in the peloton caused by a late crash.
The Briton leapfrogged Richie Porte into second, with three days of the race remaining.
Froome won the Criterium du Dauphine last year and will attempt to defend his Tour de France title from 2 July, ahead of his bid for Olympic gold in the road race in Rio in August.
