As the new Championship season opens tonight, you can be sure that many a manager will be delivering the same message to his players: if Blackpool can do it, then so can we.
The unlikely achievement of Ian Holloway's team in winning promotion to the Premier League last season proved that the division is now the most competitive in the land. For several seasons now it has been a league in which no results can be taken for granted.
This year the division looks more open than ever, although Middlesbrough, having spent freely over the summer, will be hoping their big guns can blow all their rivals out of the water. Money can talk at this level, as Newcastle United and West Bromwich Albion showed last season by bouncing back to the Premier League at the first attempt, having held on to most of their players.
Of this year's relegated trio, only Burnley have managed to keep their squad largely intact. They have also brought in new blood, while Hull City and Portsmouth have watched many of their best players leave.
As for the other newcomers, Leeds United and Norwich City will be hoping to maintain the momentum from their successful promotion campaigns last season. For Millwall, survival will be an achievement. Nottingham Forest, Leicester City and Cardiff City – who all finished above Blackpool – will put their faith in the men who took them into the play-offs, while Reading will fancy their chances on the basis of last season's end-of-term form.
As for a team to follow Blackpool's example, how about Doncaster Rovers? The Yorkshire club have just spent £1m on a player for the first time in their history and in Sean O'Driscoll have one of the brightest young managers in the country.
Manager: Mark Robins (appointed September 2009)
Title odds: 100-1 Last season: 18th
Key signings: J Shackell (Wolves, £700,000), J McEveley (Derby), D Arismendi (Stoke, loan), G Lovre (Groningen), J O'Brien (Motherwell), L Dickinson (Brighton) J M Neumann (Estudiantes).
Overview: Robins has done a major rebuilding job over the summer. The Serbian Goran Lovre and the Uruguayan Diego Arismendi could form an exceptional if unlikely midfield alongside the Argentine Hugo Colace, who was a key performer last year. The former Norwich City defender, Jason Shackell, who will captain the side this season, will bring Premier League experience to a back line that looked suspect on occasions last term.
Look out for: Jim O'Brien's surging runs down the wing.
Prediction: Should be good enough to keep clear of trouble.
Bristol City
Manager: Steve Coppell (appointed April 2010)
Title odds: 20-1 Last season: 10th
Key signings: K Cissé (Reading, £400,000), D James (Portsmouth), N Hunt (Bolton), D Stewart (QPR) Albert Adomah (Barnet), S Vokes (Wolves).
Overview: There is no better manager at this level than Coppell, who is a master at getting the most out of his players. The departures of Bradley Orr and Paul Hartley to Queen's Park Rangers and Aberdeen respectively have been setbacks, but the signing of David James is a statement of intent, while Damion Stewart's experience should help stabilise a defence that leaked 65 goals last season, more than any other team in the top half.
Look out for: The Mali international Kalifa Cisse's midfield class.
Prediction: Play-off contenders.
Manager: Brian Laws (appointed January 2010)
Title odds: 11-1 Last season: 18th (in the Premier League)
Key signings: R Wallace (Preston, estimated £1.9m), L Grant (Sheffield Wednesday, estimated £1m), D Marney (Hull, £500,000), C Iwelumo (Wolves, £500,000).
Overview: Steven Fletcher has gone to Wolves, but Burnley have retained most of those who served in the Premier League last season and strengthened their squad with experienced Championship performers like Ross Wallace, Dean Marney and Chris Iwelumo. A good start will be essential and the fixture list has come up with some tough early tests, including August fixtures against three of last season's top seven: Nottingham Forest, Leicester City and Swansea City.
Look out for: Wallace, a goal-scoring midfielder with a sweet left foot.
Prediction: Play-offs or better.
Cardiff City
Manager: Dave Jones (appointed May 2005)
Best odds: 20-1 Last season: 4th
Key signings (all pending League approval): T Heaton (Manchester United), D Drinkwater (Manchester United, loan), J Koumas (Wigan Athletic, loan).
Overview: Cardiff have been hampered by continuing financial problems, which have led to a transfer embargo. This factor may thwart Jones's plans to build on an excellent 2009-10 season, which ended in defeat to Blackpool in the play-off final. Two summer recruits from Manchester United, Tom Heaton and Danny Drinkwater, plus Wigan's Jason Koumas cannot be registered until the embargo is lifted. Rivals are sniffing around the likes of Peter Whittingham and Michael Chopra.
Look out for: Whittingham's eye for goal.
Prediction: Mid-table – or better if money problems can be resolved.
Coventry City
Manager: Aidy Boothroyd (appointed May 2010)
Title odds: 50-1 Last season: 19th
Key signings: L Carsley (Birmingham City), G McSheffrey (Birmingham City), L Jutkiewicz (Everton), R O'Donovan (Sunderland), C Platt (Colchester United) Richard Keogh (Carsley United).
Overview: With Clinton Morrison having left for Sheffield Wednesday, one of Boothroyd's priorities has been to strengthen an attack that averaged barely a goal a game last season. Lukas Jutkiewicz has arrived from Everton, while Gary McSheffrey, who was born in Coventry, and Roy O'Donovan have rejoined the club where they began their careers. Lee Carsley, another former Coventry player, returns after spells at Everton and Birmingham.
Look out for: Sammy Clingan's dead-ball prowess.
Prediction: Another season in the lower reaches.
Crystal Palace
Manager: George Burley (appointed June 2010)
Best odds: 66-1 Last season: 21st
Key signings: O Garvan (Ipswich Town), A Dorman (St Mirren), A Barrett (Southend United), D Wright (Ipswich), L Price (Derby County), V Shumulikoski (Preston North End).
Overview: Narrowly avoided going out of business in the summer after a consortium of businessmen put together a rescue deal. Several experienced players left during close season, with departure of captain Sean Derry to QPR particularly significant. Squad looks weak but Burley, assisted by the former Selhurst favourite Dougie Freedman, is still recruiting. Last season's leading scorer, Darren Ambrose, provided the biggest boost to the new management team by signing a three-year contract.
Look out for: Ambrose's long-range shooting.
Prediction: Mid-table at best.
Derby County
Manager: Nigel Clough (appointed January 2009)
Title odds: 40-1 Last season: 14th
Key signings: J Bailey and J Brayford (both Crewe, combined £1m), T Cywka (Wigan), G Roberts (Doncaster).
Overview: James Bailey, a midfielder, and John Brayford, a versatile defender who played under Nigel Clough at Burton, have joined from Crewe, while Gareth Roberts, a Wales international full-back, has come in from Doncaster. Clough has taken time to make his mark and the Derby faithful are likely to grow restless if there is not a marked improvement this season. Robbie Savage, 35, will captain the team again.
Look out for: Rob Hulse, who is a centre-forward in the traditional mould.
Prediction: Mid-table.
Doncaster Rovers
Manager: Sean O'Driscoll (appointed September 2006)
Title odds: 66-1 Last season: 12th
Key signings: B Sharp (Sheffield United, £1.15m), G Friend (Wolves), S Gillett (Southampton).
Overview: O'Driscoll, the Championship's second longest-serving manager behind Dave Jones at Cardiff, has performed wonders at a club that was playing in the Conference seven years ago. Rovers more than held their own last season, their first year back in English football's second tier for half-a-century. Made the first £1m purchase in their history in the summer by signing Billy Sharp, who scored 15 goals on loan last season.
Look out for: Brian Stock's playmaking.
Prediction: Top 10, but not quite good enough for the play-offs.
Hull City
Manager: Nigel Pearson (appointed June 2010)
Title odds: 22-1 Last season: 19th (in the Premier League)
Key signings: N Solano (Leicester), J Harper (Sheffield United).
Overview: Said to have debts approaching £30m and have denied reports this week that they are about to go into administration. The departures of many of last season's Premier League squad – Geovanni, Bernard Mendy, Dean Marney, Stephen Hunt, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, George Boateng, Kamel Ghilas and Boaz Myhill among them – have left Pearson, who moved from Leicester in the summer, with a huge task.
Look out for: Solano, who could be a ray of KC sunshine in a gloomy summer.
Prediction: May be dragged into relegation struggle.
Ipswich Town
Manager: Roy Keane (appointed April 2009)
Title odds: 20-1 Last season: 15th
Key signings: M Kennedy (Cardiff City), M Fulop (Sunderland) £75,000), C Hourihane (Sunderland).
Overview: Respectable finish last season after appalling start, when they went 14 matches without a win. Keane will expect to do much better this time. Alex Bruce and Owen Garvan have left recently (for Leeds and Crystal Palace respectively), while Mark Kennedy, Conor Hourihane and Marton Fulop have been the only arrivals so far. May be short of an old head or two to guide their talented youngsters.
Look out for: Connor Wickham, a teenage striker with a big future.
Prediction: Play-off potential.
Leeds United
Manager: Simon Grayson (appointed December 2008)
Title odds: 18-1 Last season: 2nd (in League One)
Key signings: B Paynter (Swindon Town), K Schmeichel (Notts County), L Sam (Charlton Athletic), P Connolly (Derby County), N Collins (Preston North End).
Overview: After three years in League One the former Premier League giants finally secured a return to the Championship, although Grayson's men faltered alarmingly in the second half of last season. Jermaine Beckford, leading scorer for the past three years, has joined Everton, so Leeds will look to Billy Paynter, signed on a Bosman deal, for goals after his move from Swindon, where he scored 29 times last season.
Look out for: Luciano Becchio, who combines tireless effort with goal-scoring ability.
Prediction: Mid-table.
Leicester City
Manager: Paulo Sousa (appointed July 2010)
Title odds: 16-1 Last season: 5th
Key signings: T Kennedy (Rochdale), L Crncic (Atalanta), M Vitor (Benfica, loan)
Overview: Sousa, formerly in charge at Queen's Park Rangers and Swansea City, took over after Nigel Pearson's surprise departure to Hull City. Last season's squad has remained largely intact and Sousa predicts promotion within two years. The team are likely to play a more expansive brand of football under their Portuguese manager, but will his style be more effective than that of Pearson, who had two excellent years in charge? Showed promising form in pre-season friendlies.
Look out for: Matty Fryatt's penalty-area prowess, which has brought 44 goals in the last two seasons.
Prediction: Top 10, contending for play-off place.
Manager: Gordon Strachan (appointed October 2009)
Title odds: 13-2 Last season: 11th
Key signings: K Thomson (Rangers, £2m), S McManus (Celtic, £1.5m), N Bailey (Charlton, £1.4m), K Boyd (Rangers), A Halliday (Livingston), T Kink (Gyori ETO).
Overview: At this rate they will soon be called McMiddles-brough. Gordon Strachan has continued his policy of shopping north of the border, with Kevin Thomson, Stephen McManus and Kris Boyd joining the Old Firm exodus to Teesside. Boro have been spending their parachute money freely in the hope of regaining their Premier League status. They need to improve on last season's patchy form, but Strachan looks to have recruited wisely.
Look out for: Nicky Bailey, a dynamic goal-scoring midfielder.
Prediction: Automatic promotion.
Manager: Kenny Jackett (appointed November 2007)
Title odds: 50-1 Last season: 3rd (in League One)
Key signings: J Henry (Reading, £200,000), S Mildenhall (Southend United), K Lisbie (Ipswich Town, loan), D Carter (Preston North End, loan).
Overview: League One was highly competitive last season and Millwall, who beat Swindon in the play-off final, did well to be promoted ahead of bigger rivals like Charlton and Southampton. Jackett has moulded a useful team out of limited resources and has recruited again over the summer. However, the league is a step-up in class and his squad may prove short on quality.
Look out for: Steve Morison, a former non-League striker with a work ethic as healthy as his appetite for goals.
Prediction: Relegation candidates.
Norwich City
Manager: Paul Lambert (appointed August 2009)
Title odds: 18-1 Last season: 1st (in League One)
Key signings: S Jackson (Gillingham, £600,000), A Surman (Wolves, £500,000), E Ward (Coventry City). J Ruddy (Everton).
Overview: Club-record season ticket sales of 20,550 show the levels of expectation after last year's astonishing turnaround following a 7-1 defeat at home to Colchester on the first day. The top scorers in League One last season, Norwich have added to their firepower by signing Simeon Jackson, who scored 17 goals last year in a struggling Gillingham team. Former stalwarts Gary Doherty and Paul McVeigh have left.
Look out for: Andrew Surman, a skilful midfielder who has earned England Under-21 recognition.
Prediction: Mid-table.
Nottingham Forest
Manager: Billy Davies (appointed January 2009)
Title odds: 9-1 Last season: 3rd
Key signings: R Majewski (Polonia Warsaw, £1m), R Bertrand (Chelsea).
Overview: Forest are one of the promotion favourites, but rumours of an uneasy relationship between manager and directors persist after a quiet summer on the transfer front. Davies was frustrated at the failure to strengthen his squad in January's transfer window and the only signing so far this summer has been that of Radoslaw Majewski, who was on loan last season. Cardiff City have rejected Forest's offer for Peter Whittingham.
Look out for: Lee Camp, whose consistent goalkeeping was a key factor last season.
Prediction: Automatic promotion or the play-offs – provided Davies stays.
Manager: Steve Cotterill (appointed June 2010)
Title odds: 28-1 Last season: 20th (in Premier League)
Key signings: S Jordan (Burnley), I Sonko (Stoke City, loan).
Overview: A ball has not been kicked yet, but Portsmouth recorded their first victory of the season yesterday when a High Court judge rejected HM Revenue & Customs' appeal against the Company Voluntary Arrangement which will allow the club to come out of administration. Nevertheless, more players could follow Tal Ben Haim and David James, the latest men to leave Fratton Park, and Cotterill will have to rebuild as the season progresses.
Look out for: Aaron Mokoena, who could be the defensive linchpin – provided he stays.
Prediction: All depends on finances, but don't rule out a relegation scrap.
Preston North End
Manager: Darren Ferguson (appointed January 2010)
Title odds: 50-1 Last season: 17th
Key signings: C Morgan (Peterborough, £400,000), W Brown (Leicester City), P Hayes (Scunthorpe United), D Russell (Norwich City), D Gray (Manchester United, loan).
Overview: The club's financial problems appear to have been resolved, but Ross Wallace's departure for Burnley was a setback. Ferguson has been strengthening his squad and hopes the signing of Craig Morgan and Wayne Brown will shore up a defence that conceded 73 goals in the league last season. Paul Hayes will bring some creativity to the attack, while Jon "The Beast" Parkin will again provide the muscle.
Look out for: Andy Lonergan, whose form in goal could be crucial to survival hopes.
Prediction: Relegation candidates.
Manager: Neil Warnock (appointed March 2010)
Title odds: 12-1 Last season: 13th
Key signings: A Taarabt (Tottenham, estimated £1m) ,P Kenny (Sheffield United, £750,000), B Orr (Bristol City), S Derry (C Palace), C Hill (C Palace), L Clarke (Sheffield Wednesday).
Overview: Sean Derry and Clint Hill followed Warnock from Crystal Palace, but Darren Ambrose's decision not to join the trail was a blow. Paddy Kenny and Bradley Orr bring more know-how to a squad stacked with experience, while the signing of Adel Taarabt will add to Warnock's attacking options. However, the loss of Lee Cook with a knee injury is a setback.
Look out for: Akos Buzsaky, an artist in midfield.
Prediction: Top 10.
Manager: Brian McDermott (appointed January 2010)
Title odds: 12-1 Last season: 9th
Key signings: A Griffin (Stoke City, £50,000), M Williams (Scunthorpe).
Overview: Reading were relegation candidates under Brendan Rodgers last season, but McDermott quickly turned their fortunes around and by the end of the campaign they were in form befitting promotion contenders. Pre-season victories over Wycombe, Wolves and Southampton have underlined the confidence of a squad that is largely unchanged from last season. McDermott says he will remain committed to playing attacking football.
Look out for: Jimmy Kébé, a flying winger who added goals to his game last season.
Prediction: Play-offs or better.
Scunthorpe United
Manager: Nigel Adkins (appointed December 2006)
Title odds: 200-1 Last season: 20th
Key signings: M Collins (Huddersfield, £50,000), C Dagnall (Rochdale), R Grant (Accrington), E Nolan (Preston, loan).
Overview: Defied gravity by avoiding relegation last year, but loss of strikers Gary Hooper and Paul Hayes, to Celtic and Preston North End respectively, could be a huge blow. The Iron, nevertheless, have a habit of unearthing goal-scorers and will hope that Chris Dagnall and Bobby Grant can make the step up in class. They will need to given that Scunthorpe had the worst defensive record in the division last year, conceding 84 goals.
Look out for: Cliff Byrne, whose whole-hearted defending epitomises the Scunthorpe spirit.
Prediction: Relegation.
Sheffield United
Manager: Kevin Blackwell (appointed February 2008)
Title odds: 20-1 Last season: 8th
Key signings: L Britton (Swansea), D Bogdanovic (Barnsley), S Simonsen (Stoke), R Kozluk (Barnsley), S Walton (Plymouth, loan), N Nosworthy (Sunderland, loan).
Overview: Have finished outside the division's top 10 only once in the last eight seasons, when they spent a year in the Premier League. Blackwell has made astute signings in Leon Britton and Nyron Nosworthy, but long-term injuries to Darius Henderson (hamstring) and Simon Walton (cruciate ligament) have hampered his plans. Goalkeeper Steve Simonsen replaces the long-serving Paddy Kenny, who has gone to QPR.
Look out for: Britton, who is an inventive midfielder.
Prediction: Mid-table.
Swansea City
Manager: Brendan Rodgers (appointed July 2010)
Title odds: 25-1 Last season: 7th
Key signings: S Donnelly (Aldershot Town), N Taylor (Wrexham).
Overview: Finished only one point behind Premier League-bound Blackpool last season despite scoring fewer goals (40) than any team in the division. Paolo Sousa, who has joined Leicester, has been replaced as manager by Rodgers, who will hope for better times than he enjoyed in brief spells at Watford and Reading. Most of last season's squad are staying, though the loss of Leon Britton will be keenly felt.
Look out for: Ashley Williams, key figure at heart of a rock-solid defence.
Prediction: Bottom half, potential relegation candidates.
Manager: Malky Mackay (appointed June 2009)
Title odds: 125-1 Last season: 16th
Key signings: R Gilmartin (Walsall), T Aldred (Carlisle United).
Overview: Since losing their Premier League status Watford have finished sixth, 13th and 16th and it will be no surprise if the slide continues. With little money to spend, Mackay is having to put faith in a crop of talented youngsters. He is also hoping to bring in loan players, having been delighted last season by the contributions of Arsenal's Henri Lansbury and Manchester United's Tom Cleverley.
Look out for: Danny Graham, whose goals helped keep Watford afloat last season.
Prediction: Relegation candidates.

Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the 10th leading cause of death in men over age 55 in the US with mortality of ruptured AAA exceeding 80%. Up until recently, to prevent ruptures, elective Open AAA repair was typically performed with mortality of d5%. Within the last decade, endovascular AAA repair was introduced as a less invasive alternative to open repair. FDA approval for stentgraft repair of AAA in the United States was granted in 1999 and the use of endovascular repair has steadily grown since that time, replacing open surgery for many patients. Over 40,000 AAA repairs are performed annually in the United States and by 2005, 56% of all elective AAA repairs performed in the Medicare population were endovascular. Endovascular AAA repair has been shown to have a lower operative mortality and morbidity than open repair in short-term head to head comparisons. However, recent randomized trials have not demonstrated a sustained mortality benefit with endovascular repair. Endovascular repair also requires costly follow-up surveillance and there is a greater need for re-interventions, although endovascular technologies continue to evolve. In order to understand the comparative effectiveness of various interventions, it is important to extend inquiry beyond small randomized controlled trials of ideal populations to study interventions in real world settings using observational data. In the case of AAA repair, access to comprehensive data from the Medicare program represents an ideal setting in which to perform comparative effectiveness studies as the vast majority of AAA repairs (70%) are performed in this elderly population. Medicare data are also ideally suited to studies that include longer term follow-up and the occurrence of uncommon complications.
The specific aims of this proposal are: 1) To study the long term outcomes of endovascular versus open AAA repair in a comprehensive sample of Medicare patients undergoing elective repair;2) To determine whether changes in technology, as measured by the introduction of new endovascular products over time, has impacted both perioperative and long term survival of those undergoing endovascular repair;and 3) To rigorously define, quantify, and measure the impact of laparotomy related complications in the case of open AAA repair and graft-related complications in the case of endovascular repair.
Ruptured aortic abdominal aneurysm (AAA) is the tenth leading cause of mortality in elderly men and over 40,000 elective repairs are performed annually in order to prevent these deaths. In 1999, a less invasive endovascular technique was introduced as an alternative to open surgical repair. In this study, we will evaluate the long term comparative effectiveness of open versus endovascular AAA repair.

Intellectual Property - the genie is out of the bottle
"Information wants to be free" is one of the most misquoted slogans of the Digital Age.
It was first said in 1984 by Stewart Brand founder of The Well, one of the first online communities.
"On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other."
Northern Ireland's creative industries struggle to protect and exploit their Intellectual Property (IP), particularly at a time when ideas and work can be copied and distributed so easily.
Ian Wilkinson from Invest NI's Technical Advisory Unit was speaking at an IP seminar on the protection of creative industries' IP and the exploitation of business IP. "Northern Ireland is largely made up of small and micro businesses and the smaller they are the less importance they place on IP. Some think that IP is only for big businesses."
Marice Cumber established Own-it.org in 2004 at the London College of Communication. Own-it provides creative practitioners and businesses with relevant knowledge, advice and support. "Nationally the creative industries have same value as the Construction industry. They contribute £60 billion a year to UK economy and equates to 7.3% and have grown at twice the rate of economy over past decade. She highlights the aspiration of the DCAL, Strategic Action Plan, Creative Industries, (October 2008) which wants to grow the sector here to 15% by 2011; nearly double in UK sector. However she points out, "77% of Belfast businesses have fewer than 10 employees. Belfast businesses are less export focused - 79% of their sales are domestic.
"Look at the creative industries and what they mean. It's about individuality, ideas, innovation and the thinking that goes behind a product. And it's about the intellectual property. What actually defines a creative industry is that is based on ideas."
While UK creative businesses are competing in a global economy, 39% have no business plan, 33% with annual turnover of less than £1m have no financial goals.
"The government is now looking at the creative industries; they have now become a focus of government attention, because they're growing and vibrant. That's where the growth, excitement and money is and that's all routed in innovation and at the core of that is intellectual property."
Donald Clark is a director of Learn Direct, Caspian and the Brighton Arts Festival. He designed some of the first computer-based learning programmes in the early 1980s. He co-found Epic Group in 1986, now the UK's market leader in e-learning.
"You would have trouble describing many creative business as businesses sometimes and that's where a lot of the market failure comes from. I think it's terribly important in the creative world to get to grips with the sales and marketing and finance to make your business really work."
The Own-it survey on Creatives and IP in 2005 showed that half of respondents believe their own work has been stolen. Most did nothing about it and only one in eight taking legal advice. A mere 4% took actual legal action.
Why were they not more assertive when their work was stolen? Marice explained that the barriers to IP engagement for creative businesses include ignorance accessibility to lawyers and cost. "There is no mechanism to challenge the culture or allow for IP development for small creative businesses."
So while there are barriers to exploiting IP, there are also problems in protecting IP. Many younger businesses often use someone else's ideas and developing them further or take some lines of code to put into their own work. There are legal options like Open Source and Creative Commons Licensing for people to use other peoples work, providing they follow specific agreements.
The Own-it survey showed that 80% of respondents have used someone else's work in their own work without permission. Rory Campbell a lawyer from the media law specialists Forde Campbell LLP says copyright is under pressure. "It's the changing nature of IT. Bluntly, everybody is now able to copy and distribute content instantaneously. Linked with that exponential development in IT is a change of public opinion. Also a misunderstanding; copying a CD onto your iPod breaks the law; it is format shifting. That is illegal. But people don't really care about the law. The point is copyright is a law that was created to protect creative output and it has changed. When radio came on the scene and when television came on the scene it adapted. It's about time it did again."
Open Source is a strong theme running through digital creativity. "I regard certain types of Open Source as a total risk in this area" says Rory Campbell. "There are particular licences for types of open source code out there which – if you sign up to them and you and encode some open source code into your product, you are contractually committed, by the terms of that open source licence to distribute your code. You've got to expose the source code, you've got to expose the crown jewels, you've got to allow everyone to share it and pass it along in the future. And not enough people think about that."
Marice Cumber put it this way "We almost think that Open Source is the Glastonbury of the creative industry; everyone wants to go there, but sometimes when you go there, it's raining and you won't have such a good time after all. They are trading in a very flexible way – everyone is up for sharing. If that's what your business is based on are you getting revenue return? Is the business modal there, and that's something that needs to be looked at."
Invest NI offers several levels of support to any business that needs to protect and exploit their IP including access to academic work on both sides of the border and expert in-house technical support.
But the abuse of IP is not just about small businesses "borrowing" other people's work or teenagers downloading music. Big businesses may leave small businesses vulnerable. "I've grown to dislike big publishers over the years, because they tend to treat small companies with contempt. It's not just doing good legal work with them – try chasing the money!" according to Donald Clark. His advice is "Make sure you've got them really pinned down on the audits and the money they're earning and they owe you. People forget this in the rush to market and exhilaration of producing a marvellous piece of music or whatever you forget that you have to chase the money – they won't come up with it voluntarily. Your cash flow will be critical - it won't matter to them if you go under or not."
"The realpolitik of IP is that you've got to live with this now. The genie is out of the bottle – the digital copies are out there. The music, movie and TV world are fighting a rear guard action. They are largely a bunch of managers in the analogue world trying to cope with the digital future."

911, the truth, and you
Posted by lightenup in Uncategorized on September 11, 2015
Are they really nuts?
Many reports and much of the information coming to light about 9/11 contradict the "official" media supported explanations. When we are confronted with evidence that we were lied to by those we trusted, it causes us psychological pain. When we feel pain our coping mechanisms kick in.
When our beliefs about the world and our place in it are challenged, fear and anxiety are very normal reactions. The bigger the challenge to your belief system, the higher the levels of anxiety and fear you will experience. And the system controllers know this.
Contrary to what many may have told you, the truth does not always come dressed up in bliss and angelic choirs. Yes, the truth can set us free, but first it might scare the hell out of us.
The video at the link below, created by psychologists, may help to bring you a better understanding of your own personal emotions surrounding the events of 9/11.

Shy Tory Factor
The Shy Tory Factor is a name given by British opinion polling companies to a phenomenon first observed by psephologists in the early 1990s. They observed that the share of the electoral vote won by the Conservative Party (known colloquially as the 'Tories') was significantly higher than the equivalent share in opinion polls.[1] The accepted explanation was that so-called "shy Tories" were voting Conservative after telling pollsters they would not. It has only been present in the 1992 General Election, but has been discussed in subsequent elections where the Conservatives did unexpectedly well.
1992 General Election[edit]
In the 1992 general election, the final opinion polls gave the Conservatives between 38% and 39% of the vote, about 1% behind the Labour Party – suggesting that the election would produce a hung parliament or a narrow Labour majority and end 13 years of Tory rule. In the final results, the Conservatives received almost 42% (a lead of 7.6% over Labour) and won their fourth successive general election, though they now had a 21-seat majority compared to the 102-seat majority they had gained in the election five years previously. As a result of this failure to 'predict' the result, the Market Research Society held an inquiry into the reasons why the polls had been so much at variance with actual public opinion. The report found that 2% of the 8.5% error could be explained by Conservative supporters refusing to disclose their voting intentions; it cited as evidence the fact that exit polls on election day also underestimated the Conservative lead.
After the 1992 election, most opinion pollsters altered their methodology to try to correct for this observed behaviour of the electorate.[1] The methods varied for different companies. Some, including Populus, YouGov and ICM Research, have adopted the tactic of asking their interviewees how they had voted at the previous election, and then assumed that they would vote that way again at a discounted rate.[2] Others weighted their panel so that their past vote was exactly in line with the actual result of the election. For a time, opinion poll results were published both for unadjusted and adjusted methods. Polling companies have found that telephone and personal interviews are more likely to generate a shy response than automated calling or internet polls.[2]
2015 General Election[edit]
Opinion polls for the 2015 general election also underestimated the Conservative vote, with most polls predicting a hung parliament, and exit polls suggesting Conservatives as the largest party but not majority, whereas the actual result was a slim Conservative majority of 12 seats.[3] Of the 92 election polls which met the standards of the British Polling Council in the six weeks prior to the 2015 election, none foresaw the 6.5% difference in the popular vote between the Conservative Party and Labour Party. One poll had Labour leading by 6%, two polls had Labour ahead by 4%, 7 polls had Labour ahead by 3%, 15 polls had Labour ahead by 2%, 17 polls had Labour ahead by 1%, 17 polls had a dead heat, 15 polls had the Conservatives ahead by 1%, 7 polls had the Conservatives ahead by 2%, 3 polls had the Conservatives ahead by 3%, 5 polls had the Conservatives ahead by 4%, one poll had the Conservatives ahead by 5% and two polls had the Conservatives ahead by 6%. The two polls that gave the Conservatives a 6% lead were published two weeks before the voting, and the final polls from those polling companies, published on the eve of the voting, gave a dead heat and a 1% Labour lead.[4] The result was eventually a Conservative Party majority with a popular vote share of 37.1% with the Labour Party achieving 30.4%. It was later widely claimed in the media that the "Shy Tory effect" had again occurred as it had done in 1992.[5]
The British Polling Council subsequently launched an independent enquiry into how polls were so wrong amid widespread criticism that polls are no longer a trustworthy avenue of measuring voting intentions.[6][7] This enquiry found that, contrary to the popular reporting, there was no Shy Tory Factor in the election, and the polling had been incorrect for other reasons, most importantly unrepresentative samples. [8]
Influence in American Elections[edit]
Throughout the 2016 presidential race, cartoonist and political commentator Scott Adams alleged that there existed a Shy Tory-style Silent Majority of voters who would not honestly admit to voting for Donald Trump, a highly controversial candidate.[9] Adams was joined by commentator Bill Mitchell, and then later Trump himself, who declared that "the silent majority is back, and we're going to take our country back."[10] Trump attributes his upset victory, in part, to flawed polling, which would imply that he believes his campaign was affected by the Shy Tory Factor. Adams theorizes that many voters were "parking" their votes with the non-controversial Gary Johnson, telling others they would vote for minor candidates, while actually supporting Trump. He points to Trump's victory and Johnson's under-performance as compared to polling as evidence of this.
So far there have not been any studies to support or refute his claim.

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
A fifteen-year-old I know came home from school recently with the announcement
that he is taking a class in computers. I asked what he will be learning – maybe some beginning networking or programming? It seems that the course will instead cover how to do things in office suite applications – like word processors, spreadsheets, and slide show editors. I won't deny that it makes sense for schools to teach students these tools, although it is perhaps an overstatement to say they are learning about computers when they are learning to type. My real alarm came when I asked him what office suite they were using and he said: Microsoft Office. Perhaps I am engaging in a bit of my own overstatement. I wasn't really alarmed; I could have guessed the class would be centered around Microsoft products. Still, this episode brought an important problem to light. How much are all those schools, everywhere in the world, paying for the privilege of indoctrinating students into a software merchandising model that will continue to exact tribute for years after graduation? I have no doubt that Microsoft offers a big "educational discount" to enchant buyers. They may even donate software to some schools. But the only effect of their generosity is to allow the school to offload the cost of computer literacy back to the student. A graduate who wants to use this new knowledge will have to either buy their own Office license or work for someone else who has purchased an Office license.

Aftermath: Following the Bloodshed of America's Wars in the Muslim World
Nation Books, Oct 26, 2010 - Social Science - 608 pages
Nir Rosen's Aftermath, an extraordinary feat of reporting, follows the contagious spread of radicalism and sectarian violence that the U.S. invasion of Iraq and the ensuing civil war have unleashed in the Muslim world.
Rosen—who the Weekly Standard once bitterly complained has "great access to the Baathists and jihadists who make up the Iraqi insurgency"— has spent nearly a decade among warriors and militants who have been challenging American power in the Muslim world. In Aftermath, he tells their story, showing the other side of the U.S. war on terror, traveling from the battle-scarred streets of Baghdad to the alleys, villages, refugee camps, mosques, and killing grounds of Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, and finally Afghanistan, where Rosen has a terrifying encounter with the Taliban as their "guest," and witnesses the new Obama surge fizzling in southern Afghanistan.
Rosen was one of the few Westerners to venture inside the mosques of Baghdad to witness the first stirrings of sectarian hatred in the months after the U.S. invasion. He shows how weapons, tactics, and sectarian ideas from the civil war in Iraq penetrated neighboring countries and threatened their stability, especially Lebanon and Jordan, where new jihadist groups mushroomed. Moreover, he shows that the spread of violence at the street level is often the consequence of specific policies hatched in Washington, D.C. Rosen offers a seminal and provocative account of the surge, told from the perspective of U.S. troops on the ground, the Iraqi security forces, Shiite militias and Sunni insurgents that were both allies and adversaries. He also tells the story of what happened to these militias once they outlived their usefulness to the Americans.
Aftermath is both a unique personal history and an unsparing account of what America has wrought in Iraq and the region. The result is a hair- raising, 360-degree view of the modern battlefield its consequent humanitarian catastrophe, and the reality of counterinsurgency.

There must be ones that I liked more but this one "cool moment" I cannot get out of my head right now - Riful's first intervention in order to save her husband (it's late and I can't remember that dumbass' name either) from Clare and Jean when her arm awakened insinuating the superior fully awakened form she must have.

Oh, I love the way you worded that "when her arm awakened insinuating the... ...awakened form she must have."

Rather than going on about how her "power level is over 9000", claymores could confirm their Youki readings with their own eyes. That arm-body contrast is too cool.

The scene that let me know right away that I would like Claymore was when Raki chased Clare in episode 1 and she pulled her sword out at him almost beheading him. It was just an intense scene.
The scene in episode 5 where Teresa said she would entertain the bandits until each of them had their fill was entertaining.

Wow, what's up with everyone mentioning the scene where Teresa realised Clare was trying to comfort her, but noone says anything about the scene where Raki saved Clare?
Seriously guys, this male child hate is really disturbing. Children are children. Please solve your issues.

to me, raki looks more like a teenager, not a child. Teenagers are young adults and (male ones) "shouldn't" be crying like a baby-child anymore...
fear is fine.... heck, i'd be pisin down my leg if claymore manga/anime was real....
but not crying.....

He is clearly a child.
Many male fans probably cried while watching a cartoon... And Raki isn't allowed to cry when people he cares about die or are placed in extreme danger?
People don't have a problem because he has a weak mind. He actually has a much stronger mind than most modern real grown up men (who like you say would shit their pants). People have a problem because there is some social rule against males showing affection. IMO not only is that a pretty damn lame prehistoric social rule to begin with which should be shrugged off entirely by healthy people, Raki is a child and in any case it shouldn't even apply to him in the first place.

They don't compare, at all. Plus it has nothing to do with "our issues." If you kidding, it's a bad and unclear joke. If your serious then I got to say your failing to recognize the significance of what Teresa realizing Clare was comforting her lead to and how Raki saving Clare didn't lead to anything that wasn't already there.
Raki risking his life to save Clare when he had no chance to really make a difference was nice but it's been done a thousand times, I've lost count how many times Clare has done just that to save others and she's done it to save total strangers. True, it speaks volumes of Raki but it's hardly the most moving moment of the series or Raki in the series, in fact Raki telling Isley he needed power to make another person not worry about him and if possible save them was a far better moment. Since it showed Raki's commitment to saving Clare knowing how far out classed he was by the "monsters" of the world, especially after having Ophelia show him just how weak he really was.
Raki charging in to save Clare not making anyone's "favorite scene", and the Teresa and Clare hug making many people's lists, has nothing to do with our hate of Raki or anything like that... it has to do with the dynamics of how the scene changed Teresa and Clare for the better (though for Clare it was a set up for a greater tragedy). When Clare and Raki where separated before anything could develop with them and other event's, like Ophelia playing with the two of them, diluted the moment. Sure they kissed... but that was more Clare trying to get Raki to listen and do as she told him then a direct effect of Raki risking his live to save her. In short it was a great moment but it failed to lead to anything besides +50 chapters of us waiting for them to reunite.
The Teresa's realization of Clare's motivation was far more then a simple realization. It totally changed both characters and in fact was the close to, if not the, defining moment in both of there lives. Teresa went from being a hate full women, scornful of her being betrayed by loved ones and sold into a horrible existence devoid of any real human connection. To being a loving mother figure to an injured and beyond abused child desperate for someone to understand her. For Teresa it was this moment that caused her to drop her emotional guard and let Clare in. The best part being Teresa wasn't just being kind to some kid, she needed the bond as much as Clare did, it saved both of them.
Orsay pretty much said that he thought Teresa would kill a human one day but he didn't say he thought that she would because of her connecting with Clare. He believed she was on a self destructive path and would become a murderer if the situation didn't change some how. It could even be argued that Orsay didn't even realize Teresa's motivation for killing all the bandits until Teresa told him that from now on she was going to live for the child.
Now as for that moment being the defining moment in Clare's life is a bit harder to argue since she's had so much tragedy in her life. Logically though, gaining someone in ones life is just as important as them dying and leaving the person to move on or stay trapped in the past. Though in situations like Clare's it's a balancing act of being trapped by the past and moving on (which drives home Teresa's importance to Clare and yet her need for another connection). Clare truly gained Teresa on that night and lost her soon after. Which probably made those blissful moments all the more important to her.

I really don't see the distinction you see. At all.
I think you are right on target with your description of what happened in Teresa and Clare scene.
My point was that in Raki and Clare scene the exact same thing happened.
At the beginning of the series, Clare is shown JUST like Teresa: cold and apathetic, not capable of developing a bond with another human being, not having anyone who cares about her, hardly having anything to live for. She does show some interest and a little bit of care towards Raki, but until that scene it really is not much.
Teresa and Clare is just a copy of Clare and Raki. Again, a cold emotionless shell with nothing to live for, who suddenly is overcome with human warmth because someone was willing to go through hell for her. In fact, when I first watched the series, this scene didn't affect me much because it felt like the exact same thing over again.

If you're talking about the cathedral scene, where Clare is asking Galk to behead her and Raki rushes in and hugs her wanting to "Romeo and Juliet" die together, and because Clare loved Raki so much, she would not let anything kill Raki, not even her awakening...
That is how you display a Romeo and Juliet moment that isn't lame like shakespeare did, hehe.
I actually loved this (Raki and Clare in the cathedral) scene a lot too. It has as much going on as the Clare and Teresa scene of....
Teresa: "This little girl, half my size, taught me that, tears can flow from silver eyes as well"
it just isn't as openly noticible of how major a scene it is and all that is going on in it.
or are you talking about when Raki fights with Ophelia?
i'm not sure what scene you're talking about... lol

Yea cathedral scene.
BTW later when it was shown that Miria, Deneve and Helen overcame their awakening pretty mundanely, I felt this scene was strongly devaluated. But there's a big enough gap betweeb these two scenes so they don't interfere too much ^^

ah good i did get the scene right
and besides....
This is what-when Clare was made-became a Half Awaken !!!!!! (when she got her much greater power, lol)
and all because of Raki and their love for each other !!!
another thing that made the cathedral scene so great.....
how many stories do you know of where the main protagonist hero asks someone (Galk) to and is about to be decapitated ? .... LOL
It was a total surprise and shock, to be thinking WTF, the main character is going to be killed just a "few" chapters into the manga (or the 4th episode of the anime) !!!!
in shakespeare's work, the Romeo and Juliet death scene is at the END of the story, not the beginning, like in Claymore manga/anime, lol.
that was so way cool !!!

True, Raki doing this again helped Clare open up to Raki even more but it's part of a long series of events that saved both Clare and Raki, when that Teresa/Clare moment is a singular event that changed both of there lives.
I guess my main point being, IMHO, your making the 4th event in a series into the end all of the chain of events. One being Raki following Clare and seeing past her yoma side, Two being Raki confessing his feeling to Clare, Three being Raki begging to die with Clare when she was about to awaken. Sure there where other little things like Raki taking on Cid when he insulted Clare but I view those as more of reminders of Raki's desire to be with Clare forever than events that truly caused Clare to let Raki in. The next event being there parting kiss and the final two being Clare finding the girl who told Clare about the statue of the twin goddesses and lastly her seeing Raki's carving of it on the wall.
If you change the list from being events that caused Clare to open up to Raki to events that showed Raki's commitment to Clare. I personally view Raki asking for training from Isley as another key event and Raki being undaunted by Renee logical argument that Clare must be dead as another.
Teresa was always purposely scaring the villagers both with her actions and words. Clare on the other hand never verbally tried to scare anyone let alone throw swords at them, fling yoma blood at them, or hitting children who followed her. Teresa also seemed to enjoy extorting money from the villagers for killing the final yoma, when Clare would kill all the yoma and then let the org handle the price negotiations. Clare also would risk her life twice to save villagers before her backup arrived knowing she didn't exactly have the power Teresa did... Would Teresa have done the same? (Rhetorical question)
I agree Teresa was cold and apathetic (assuming you mean apathetic as in... not interested or concerned; indifferent or unresponsive and not it's other definition... having or showing little or no emotion) when Clare is aloof, on guard, and unemotional... or at least emotionally stunted.
Both needed saving and both received there salvation from an unexpected source... a helpless child. For Clare dealing with a child served a double purpose, salvation and it also forced her to confront her past. However why they needed saving and how each child saved them aren't comparable on a psychological level but there minor similarities. Which actually help and hinder Clare, reminders of the past force her to confront them but she hasn't exactly taken the head on approach. Also the actions of the children themselves aren't comparable. Clare mentioned that what she hated the most was that she was too scare to do anything for Teresa, yet Raki has risked life and limb twice for Clare... once to die with her and once to save her (maybe die with her as you said, though I disagree on that point).
Your right that the scene is very important... I just wish it had shown Clare's thoughts of seeing a young boy risking life and limb to save her. Especially since he just did the one thing for her that she wished she had done for Teresa. If that had been included, rather then just as surprise in Clare's eyes, I have no doubt that scene would have made my favorite list. However I just feel that the scene failed to follow through with it's potential. All the logic for the scenes importance is there but it failed to have the truly deep emotional connection that other scenes had.

EDIT: Umm, Ryus, it seems you've been thinking I was talking about Ophelia scene all this time? LOL, sorry I should have been more clear >< I assumed everyone considered the cathedral scene as the most important between Raki and Clare, didn't realise it's possible to take it in another way...
Ophelia scene was just a cool scene, where Raki showed he's not nearly as big of a pussy as people might have thought. Like you, I didn't feel it was very emotional or pivotal in the development of charachters.
But did you feel the cathedral scene was even less important then? I mean if you excluded the possibility that I was talking about that scene, you must have thought even less of it than the Ophelia scene?
And BTW Ophelia scene actually DOES show up on people's favourite scene lists hehe.
Clare didn't have anything live for either. Except revenge, but I suspect you'll agree that is a very cold and depressing purpose, not comparable to having a strong bond with another person.
Both charachters in their respective scenes had the love of a child completely turn them around and fill their empty lives with purpose. In Clare's case, this was further escalated by it giving her strength to do something that was considered impossible and come back from awakening. And her scene was first in the story as well. Yet people love Teresa+Clare scene but don't seem to even mention Clare+Raki scene (in the cathedral, that is ><), which I find disturbing, as it seems to stem from some lame medieval social rules that males shouldn't show affection.
Seriously I don't understand how you make such a big difference between Teresa+Clare and Clare+Raki! They're VERY similar!

Yup, the cathedral scene is one of my favourite too.
Another good one to me, or at least an emotionnal one, is the flashback of the aftermath of the battle of Pieta where we see Miria crying. It was the first time time we saw Miria display self-doubt and vulnerability, when she had been everyone's pillar of strength till that point.
