June 23 — The House's 21st Century Cures legislation (H.R. 6) will cost $106.4 billion over five years ending 2020, according to a Congressional Budget Office estimate released June 23.
However, the CBO estimate takes into account the entire budget for the National Institutes of Health through 2019, which makes it difficult to estimate the actual costs and savings of the bill's provisions. The legislation, which unanimously passed the Energy and Commerce Committee in May, reauthorized appropriations for the NIH for three years. The CBO estimated that reauthorization would cost $97.1 billion.
The CBO also estimated an offset that would delay reinsurance payments to Medicare Part D drug plans would shift spending between fiscal years and would shift about $5 billion from fiscal 2025 to 2026. Under the legislation, the delay is supposed to generate $2 billion over 10 years by allowing the government to earn interest on the cash for a longer period of time. However, a committee aide told Bloomberg BNA June 23 that this offset won't be included when the bill—which seeks to spur development of new drugs and devices—makes it to the House floor for a vote, which could be shortly after the July 4 recess.
According to the Democratic aide, the final language will likely include multiple smaller offsets to cover the savings, instead of one large replacement policy.
The bill would authorize funding and modify programs within the HHS that support medical research, oversee the development and marketing approval for drugs and monitor the use of drugs in the U.S. The legislation also would change the regulatory framework surrounding medical devices and oversight of technology by the Food and Drug Administration.
According to the CBO, the amount authorized for the NIH by the legislation may not be what is appropriated. However, the legislation does require $2 billion in mandatory NIH funding annually over the next five years.
The aide said the committee is "quite close" to a floor vote, despite not meeting Rep. Fred Upton's (R-Mich.) self-imposed June deadline.
"If we come right back in July, if we lose a week, it's not make or break," the aide said.
The bill contains numerous provisions that also fall under the jurisdiction of the Ways and Means Committee—such as Medicare coverage determinations, telemedicine, interoperability, site of service payments— but a staff member on that committee told Bloomberg BNA they still haven't been given a copy of the bill, which is something that should happen under normal legislative order. Both Democrats and Republicans have concerns over the language in those provisions, the staffer said.
The Energy and Commerce Committee doesn't need the approval of Ways and Means to bring the bill to the House floor, but "it's in their best interest" to do so, the Ways and Means staffer said.
The legislation also contains provisions that would grant an additional six months of exclusivity for certain brand-name drugs previously approved under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) if the drug is approved for a new indication that treats a rare disease or condition. According to the CBO, those extensions could delay the timing of market entry by lower-priced generic drugs or biosimilars.
The CBO estimated that about 15 percent of the share of brand-name sales for drugs previously approved under the FDCA that are expected to first experience generic competition before 2025 would have such competition delayed by six months under this provision.
The CBO estimated that the provision would increase on-budget spending on prescription drugs by mandatory health programs by $869 million over the 2016-2025 period. Beyond 2025, the potential for the legislation to delay the entry of generic drugs or biosimilars is greater, and the federal budgetary effect would increase in later years, the CBO said.

Ensto has developed solutions and integrated product packages for various Low Voltage ABC (Aerial Bundled Cable) systems since the early 1960's.
These solutions are designed to meet the local conditions and requirements taking into account the urban, rural, forested areas, density of population, climatic conditions, available investments etc.
All accessories have been developed and tested in close collaboration with electricity power companies.
As to the different systems the mechanical tensioning components (suspension clamps and tension clamps) are dependent on the system used, whereas many other components (e.g. connectors) are uniform for the three LV solutions.

Great news right? Subban is signed.
That really is the beginning and end of it. Signed now, for two years. Good.
But the deal was intriguing too:
It is worth $5.75 million over two years (half a Markov). But Subban gets the pro rata of $2 million this year together with a $3.75 million payday next year.
Neither annual salary shows his worth (there's few universes where this guy should be paid less than Josh Gorges), but in the lopsided salary distribution, the parties found a way to get Subban more cash for the same cap hit. I wonder why they landed on this combination. After all, it could have been a cap circumventing $1.2 million and $4.55 million.
The term is key too. Two years leaves Subban an RFA after this contract (with arbitration next time). This is potentially a lot safer for a tough negotiation than a looming UFA deadline. Mind you, this UFA date still looms as the same date in the future, so it will be up to the next contract to bridge that gap.
Besides that, the summer of 2014 will be one of great potential renewal and it will be good for the Canadiens GM to have maximum flexibility in making his moves then. it will be good to know if Subban can work with Markov (in the past this was not a match made in heaven) and whether he can fit into a system with Markov and Diaz. It will be good too to know which players mesh well with those that are here for the long-term (of which I expect Subban is included). It's only a shame that some of the places where they will not have felxibility are perhaps not the cornerstones of a team.
But not everyone is positive on the deal. I take up the argument put forward by many, including Ryan Lambert (as found on The Score), the gist of which is to say: don't me so smug Habs fans, this deal cost the team something.
Indeed. The main point that his article seems to balance on is that Subban could have been had for less in 2017-18 (say) now than he will be had for when he next starts signing a contract. I think this argument has a lot of merit and its been most everyone who was siding with Subban on this's point from the beginning:
We know he is good, we know he will be good. Let's set this team up for the future.
And generally I still agree with that. I think that had Subban been given the term he sought, that some benefit would have come to the Canadiens in salary payout from 2014-15 on.
But I also think that this is more of a philosophical mistake than a practical one. It belies the Habs continuing build for the current year, and possibly the next, and does nothing to realistically evaluate the organization and judge its likely peak time. Practically speaking though, Subban's contract does not prevent the team from doing this in two years. We merely have to question why they would then if they didn't now.
I personally like to look at this whole theatre as one large game. Marc Bergevin just dumped the puck here and is going off on a line change. Sure, the most likely outcome is 18 minutes of hockey without scoring, bu perhaps a better player might have been able to keep possession and catch the other team on their change.
For me, it's mixed results with the new GM. His rash of coach hirings in the summer was the first move to cause question, and then he jumped this way and that. Subban is signed to a bridge contract because his peers on the team did the same two summers ago. But it neglects to consider that Subban is a peer and more to Pacioretty, as capable in his position now as he is now, not then. And what is the strategic plan for 6 years if 2 young stars get signed and another gets a third of contract?
The whole idea with getting a new GM was that this one would be the one who could commit to a plan, even absorb a little pain, and do the sensible thing to build with talent developped internally for a fistful of years where the team could really and truly challenge. I think we all thought Subban was a godsend for this plan when he emerged as he did from the second round. That he is not signed forever is only questioned for that reason.
A very convoluted way to say: Good, Subban's back. An intriguing deal, and I'm still not head over heels for our GM. Hopefully I'll be right, right and wrong.

My summer pyjama selection has started to look a bit sorry for itself. Winter sleepwear has a regular annual replenishment in the form of cosy Christmas presents, but most of my warmer-weather PJs have been worn so much that they're verging on falling apart and really need replacing. I've considered various summer PJ patterns before, but none of them ever seemed quite right - apparently I'm quite picky in my loungewear requirements. Then Megan Nielsen released the Reef camisole and shorts set, which ticked all my boxes.
The camisole is cut on the bias, has a V neckline, a cross-over back yoke and a high-low hem. The shorts come in two versions - one with pockets and a curved hem, and a second shorter version with no pocket and a straight hem. I made the first version, but omitted the pockets because I wasn't sure how they'd work with this fabric and, much though I love pockets in my daytime clothes, I didn't think I'd use them much in pyjamas.
One of the first things to point out about my version is that I did something a bit wrong when constructing the back - mine doesn't cross over as much as it should. I think I must have matched up the wrong notches or something, but everything seemed to be working out fine so I only noticed once I was a bit further down the line. Being as they're pyjamas, and so it wouldn't matter if the fit was a bit off, I decided just to plough on and not go back and unpick things. Happily, the camisole still fits nicely, although I'll make sure that I get it right next time because I do like the cross-over yoke.
I would say that this mistake is entirely down to me, and in no way a reflection of the instructions or the pattern. I'll openly admit that I was reading the instructions pretty quickly as I went along. When you're actually paying attention to them, the instructions are perfectly clear and easy to follow, with helpful added tips along the way like block fusing the interfacing instead of cutting out the interfacing and fabric pieces separately and then fusing afterwards.
In terms of sizing, for the camisole I graded between a medium at the bust and a large at the waist. Due to the loose shape, I could probably have got away with making the whole camisole in a medium, but I wanted to stay true to the breezy, flowing shape intended in the pattern. I made the shorts in a straight size large, and they fit nicely.
I'd say that both the camisole and the shorts have just the right amount of ease to make them nice and comfortable (as you want pyjamas to be), whilst not being so baggy that they become sack-like and unflattering.
The fabric I used is a pretty viscose that I picked up on a whistle stop tour through the rag market in Birmingham. My uni friends (none of whom are into sewing) and I have a habit of converging on Birmingham to meet up for the day from our various areas of the country, and I always seem to arrive before everyone else, which really just "forces" me to go and look at fabric while I'm waiting. It's a tough old life, isn't it?!
Anyway, this is lovely and drapey and was only £2 a metre. Perfect for trying this pattern out for the first time. I'm happy to make toiles for actual clothes, but it would seem a bit over-the-top for pyjamas to me, but at the same time I wouldn't want to commit expensive fabric to a pattern and end up disappointed. This way, it wouldn't be a disaster if things went a bit wrong. Thankfully that didn't happen!
I really love my Reef set. For me, they're pretty perfect as summer pyjamas - small enough to be nice and cool to wear, whilst still being covered up enough for me to be able to wander round my flat in them quite happily without having to worry about the fact that my neighbours can see right into most of my windows. The only thing I regret about this is that I didn't get round to sewing them earlier in the summer. I think I probably won't fit in sewing a second set this year, but another Reef set will definitely be high on my sewing list for next summer.

Ok you have twisted my arm. They look really good on you and I love the idea of a cross over back as I hate straps that slip about. Lovely fabric colours too K xXxReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! I've already worn them quite a bit and they so comfy!Delete
That's gorgeous, do you think it would work with quilting cotton, I have so many!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! You might just about be able to get away with making the shorts out of quilting cotton, but I think you'd really want something with better drape for the top.Delete

The Greening of the Deserts
Day of Judgment will not come until
there are rivers and gardens in Arabia.
(Ibn Ahmad Hanbal, Musnad, vol. 17,
p. 22, no. 8819)
Day of Judgment will not come until
there are rivers and streams in Arabia.
(Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p.
Another technological development pointing
to the abundance available during the End
Times is the greening of the deserts. If
we consider that 43 percent of the Earth's
land surface is comprised of deserts, then
we can easier understand the importance
of agricultural technology. Production now
can be carried out even on the driest soil,
as water is brought to infertile deserts.
If this advanced technology is implemented
in all deserts, then many countries on the
brink of starvation will acquire productive
lands. This, of course, requires considerable
To green the deserts, sufficient amounts
of water and land must be obtained. One
relevant technology now being developed
is computer-controlled irrigation. This
enables water to be sent directly to the
plant's roots so that not a single drop
is wasted. Given that purified water is
a crucial element of desert agriculture,
flood and sea water forms the basis of agricultural
technology. In this way, vast water resources
will be obtained, a development that also
will be a major support of countries' economies.
Our Prophet (may God bless him and grant
him peace) also indicated the very productive
use of water:
the Ummah's good and wicked members
will be blessed with a blessing, the
like of which they have never seen
before. Despite the abundance of rain,
not a drop will go to waste. The land
will grow fruitful and fertile, without
demanding a single seed...

text: URMC / Obstetrics & Gynecology / Reproductive Genetics / Services / Tests Performed Only During Pregnancy Tests Performed Only During Pregnancy First Trimester Screening This test is done during pregnancy between 11 and 14 weeks of gestation. It combines a blood test for hCG (the pregnancy hormone) and a specific protein (pregnancy associated plasma protein A or PAPP-A) with an ultrasound measurement of the back of the baby's neck (nuchal translucency or NT). While there is a range of values for these in normal pregnancies, women with higher than average NT measurements, or higher or lower than average hCG or PAPP-A values may be at risk for having a baby with Down syndrome or another rare chromosome problem called Trisomy 18. The first trimester screen cannot tell for certain whether the fetus does or does not have these problems, but it can identify women who have a greater than average risk. About 4 or 5 of every 100 women who have first trimester screening will be offered further testing by amniocentesis or CVS, but most of the time those women will deliver a normal, healthy baby. Quad Screening (2nd Trimester) The Quad Screen is done during pregnancy usually between 15 to 18 weeks of gestation. It measures levels of four substances (alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), hCG, unconjugated estriol, and dimeric inhibin) in a pregnant woman's blood. These substances come from the fetus and placenta and are found in the blood of all pregnant women. It is normal for the levels of these substances to vary among different women, but some women with particularly high or low values of the various substances may be at increased risk for having a baby with Down syndrome, Trisomy 18, or an opening in the babies body caused by a neural tube defect (NTD) or an abdominal wall defect. The Quad Screen cannot tell for certain whether the fetus does or does not have a birth defect, but it can identify women who have a greater than average risk. About 7 or 8 of every 100 women who have AFP+ testing will be offered further testing, but most of the time those women will deliver a normal, healthy baby. Prenatal Ultrasound Ultrasound uses sound waves to create pictures of the baby before it is born. Most of the organs and bones of the baby can be seen with ultrasound. This technology is used early in the pregnancy to establish how far along a pregnancy is, or to make sure an early pregnancy is viable. Nuchal translucency measurements for the 1st Trimester Screen (above) are done at 11-14 weeks of pregnancy, and detailed evaluation of the baby's anatomy is usually done between 18 and 20 weeks. Also at 18 to 20 weeks, most ultrasound exams include a "screen" for subtle indications ("soft signs") that may indicate an increased risk for Down syndrome. Some of these include skin swelling at the back of the neck, slightly shorter than average upper arm or upper leg bones, or a small bright spot (echogenic intracardiac focus, EIF) seen on the ultrasound of the baby's heart. There are no known risks from ultrasound.

We continue to add reading strategies to our CAFÉ menu. This month we are focusing on recognizing literacy elements, using main idea and supporting details to determine importance. This strategy should help us identify these features in our own narratives.
In Mathematics this month, we will continue to work on addition and subtraction but within the context of money. Solving problems within meaningful contexts will be our primary focus. We will also revisit measurement – learning to measure area, mass, capacity, and volume.
As part of our recognition of Earth Day this month, I am encouraging the children to try and bring snacks with less packaging and to make healthy choices. A reusable drink container for juice or water is preferable to all the juice boxes that are usually half full, even after our second nutrition break. We will continue to reuse and recycle as much as we can from our lunches.
Our Latest Addition
Has your child told you about our new iPad? We now have an iPad in our classroom that we are currently using during Literacy Work Stations.
We have been using it for some Word Work activities and for video taping our partners reading poems from our classroom anthology. We are working on developing FLUENCY and using expression when reading aloud.
Dates to Remember
- April 5 – ME to WE movie day (periods 2 and 3)
- April 6 –Good Friday (no school)
- April 9 – Easter Monday (no school)
- April 11 – Day of Pink (acceptance of diversity)
- April 15 Cherrywood Family Skate at the Gale Center
- April 19 Grades 1 and 2 visit the Niagara Safety Village

We're eagerly waiting for the day the Wii hits store shelves, but till then, we have to satisfy our craving with news like this. The UK's EDGE magazine has lifted the curtain on Nintendo's plans to release a premium Wii with DVD movie playback. The Premium Wii will only be available in Japan and it won't be of the Blu-ray or HD DVD variety, but having the ability to play regular DVDs on the Wii is an add-on we wouldn't mind having.

The November CTP download is available for MSDN and TechNet subscribers. The public download is available here.
The feature pack download is now also available and includes Report Builder 3.0 as well as the RS add-ins for SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010.
The Data Platform Insider blog provides an overview of what's new in CTP release for SQL Server 2008 R2. If you are reading my blog, you are probably interested in knowing what's specifically new compared to the previous August CTP in Reporting Services 2008 R2 November CTP:
- Report Part Gallery
The ability for report items / data regions to be published to the report server and made available to other report authors to re-use. Report authors can publish and share these report components from either BIDS or Report Builder 3.0. Information workers can use Report Builder to mash these report components together into their own unique views by simple drag & drop. This includes notifications when a report part was updated on the report server in the meantime.
- Shared Data Sets
Datasets can now be shared, stored, processed and cached externally from the report. Cache refresh plans let you cache reports or shared dataset query results on first use or from a schedule.
- Enhanced SharePoint Integration for SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010
This includes support for multiple SharePoint Zones, the SharePoint Universal Logging service, and Report Parts. We added a new SharePoint List data extension with query designer support. Furthermore, support for right-to-left text with Arabic and Hebrew was added in the SharePoint user interface.
- New Data Visualization Report Items
Data Bars - each bar is scaled based on the maximum value of the immediate group (a default which can be adjusted).
Sparklines are data-intense, word-sized graphics. These visualizations make it possible for report consumers to quickly see things like trends over time at a glance.
Indicators are small icons that are often used to depict the status or trend for a given value. Setting up indicators based on a number of pre-configured sets is now very easy.
Furthermore, this CTP includes improvements to the Map wizard.
- Enhanced Business Intelligence Development Studio
Support for 2008 and 2008 R2 versions of reports and report projects.
- Aggregates of Aggregates
This enables report authors to nest RDL aggregate expressions inside other RDL aggregate expressions with unlimited nesting levels. For example, the expression =Avg(Sum(Sales, "Month"), "Year") would compute the average total monthly sales.
- Other RDL Expression Language enhancements
Expect more details on many of these topics in separate blog postings:
- Writing expressions that take into account the current rendering format (=Globals!RenderFormat.Name)
- Naming pages, including naming of Excel worksheets for Excel export
- Group.DomainScope is quite useful for synchronizing data visually across different charts / sparklines and in tablix even if data is only available at disparate granularities.
- Read/Write report variables with automatic serialization/persistence; these are quite useful to avoid managing your own custom code variables.
- Rotating Text 270 Degrees, which is frequently needed for narrow column layouts.
- Dynamic page breaks, as well as resetting page number of page breaks
- New 2010 SOAP Endpoint
While the existing 2005/2006 SOAP endpoints are still supported, the 2010 endpoint unifies support of both native & SharePoint integrated servers and adds functionality for new areas such as shared datasets, cache refresh plans, and report parts.
- Improved Browser and Standards Mode Support
During the next weeks I plan to cover a lot more details regarding the areas listed above.
I look forward to hearing your feedback on Reporting Services 2008 R2 November CTP in the dedicated MSDN discussion forum.

With the intention of buying some bits for her, my mum and I headed to Matalan this weekend. It's not often that I go to Matalan (I'm usually found in TopShop), but whenever I do go, I am always surprised by the quality and prices of some of their pieces (why is it that bloggers call clothes "pieces"? I feel obliged to do it now, sorry!).
Polka Dot Pencil Skirt - £10 (Buy here)
I've been a massive fan of pencil skirts for a while now, but I haven't really been confident enough to wear them out. I'd seen these Roy-Lichtenstein inspired skirts in TopShop and had really wanted one, but couldn't quite justify the money for something I wasn't sure that I would be able to wear. This one however is a fraction of the price, and will be perfect to wear without tights in spring/summer with a white crop top.
Tie Dye Skater Dress - £12 (Children's section - buy here)
Is it just me, or are children getting bigger? I spotted this pretty dress in the teenage section thinking "none of those will fit me", but to my surprise the biggest size (Age 16 years) was miles too big! I opted for the 15 years in the end, but I still think I could have done with a size down. I'd say that a size 14 years would be the equivalent to a 6, 15 for an 8 and 16 for a 10. I was so glad to get this though, as I'd nearly bought this similar dress from ASOS for £25 the day before. I'm going to wear this this with my TopShop black cut out boots, bare legs and a leather jacket in spring/summer.
Blue Denim-look Pinafore Dress - £14 (Children's Section - buy here )
After buying a pair of dungarees a couple of weeks ago, I just cannot get enough of this style! I literally want every cut and colour of dungarees, it's a problem. This pinafore dress is so cute and although it makes me look about 2 years old, it makes me feel lovely! I had the same issue with sizing when buying this dress, but luckily the straps are adjustable so it really doesn't matter too much. Besides, I'm really loving the look of oversized denim dresses at the moment. I've been wearing this over crop t-shirts, again with black cut out boots and my leather jacket (which I wear in a forlorn attempt to make myself look older!).

The questions being raised about Tony Jones are centered on the serious allegations of emotional and physical abuse by his ex-wife, Julie McMahon. I first learned about these disturbing allegations in the comment thread of this post by David Hayward. Earlier this week, the discussion about these allegations ramped up after the announcement that Rachel Held Evans would be launching a new conference "Why Christian" organized by Tony Jones and the Jopa Group.Tony, Doug and a third friend, Mark Scandrette, rolled into church sanctuaries and basements across the country where religious thinkers lined chairs and stretched out in aisle-ways to talk, argue, laugh, and craft new ways of living faith together. The roadshow brought new allies together and became the first of many efforts to come that combined innovative content with relational events.Since then, the scope of JoPa's events has grown to include several annual events and a host of other offerings.Each year, Church Planters Academy and Christianity 21 will add to the national faith conversation by inviting smart, progressive, and often provocative thought leaders to share their latest ideas and practices.
The subject of the email "retweets" refers to these 2 tweets that I retweeted:Nadia Bolz Weber and Rachel Held Evans have announced an all-female lineup at their new conference 'Why Christian?' this September. Held in Minneapolis, the conference will seek to explore why we continue to follow Jesus in the wake of corruption, hypocrisy and televangelists.Their announcement has been greeted with much anticipation on Twitter:
This is what Sovereign Grace said to victims. "@sonorantheo STG sponsors @Christianity21 bc we're in no position to judge such allegations."

Obama Is Again Targeted By Hackers
A hacker from Yemen, going by the alias, "./lov3r," has hacked into the one of the sub-domains belonging to US President, Barack Obama. The Yemeni hacker defaced the website, my.barackobama.com (which is a sub-domain of barackobama.com), leaving a special message for President Obama including the use of the "N" word.
Seems he is disrespecting President Obama and at the same time also asking for him to leave Yemen alone. This same network was used by 35,000 groups during the election campaign for the president and this sub-domain is not a new target for hackers…. a Yemeni hacker group, the Syrian Electronic Army, also hacked this website last year.

HippoCampus.org is a website that delivers rich multimedia content — videos, animations, and simulations — on general education subjects to middle-school and high-school teachers and college professors, and their students, free of charge.
All members of the NROC Network receive a branded version of HippoCampus to share with staff as a teaching resource and with students as a study resource. HippoCampus is a searchable database of more than 7,000 multimedia learning objects in the NROC library, correlated to state standards. Teachers may readily link to objects in the repository from this website. A designated HippoCampus administrator at your member institution manages the look and feel of this "parent" site, and teachers within your organization may create their own customized classroom "child" versions of the site for their curricular use. This is an open access site, with no logins required of students.
Key HippoCampus features for members include:
- State and National Standards Correlations – NROC content is correlated to state and national standards.
- Textbook Correlations – NROC content is also correlated to leading textbooks for ready reference.
- Custom Correlations – Registered teachers may add correlations to their own custom sites.
- Multiple Content Collections – In addition to content from The NROC Project, HippoCampus has grown to include multimedia learning objects from Khan Academy and the University of Colorado's PhET program (interactive science and math simulations).
- Multiple Subjects – HippoCampus offers content in Math (Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Statistics, and Probability), Natural Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth and Environmental Science), Social Science (History, Government, Economics, and Religion), and Social Science (Religion).
- Four Styles of Multimedia Content – Presentations, Worked Examples, Test Prep, and Simulations are all available for student and instructor use.
- Instructor Customization – Instructors can modify their own HippoCampus site with custom Subject displays, Textbook Correlations, topic-level Annotations, and Playlists.
- Custom Playlists – Instructors can mix and match content from across subjects and collections in HippoCampus by creating Playlists that teachers can present in classrooms, assign for homework or review, or share with students.
You can visit the public HippoCampus site – HippoCampus.org to see all that HippoCampus has to offer.
Getting Started
HippoCampus is designed to provide quick browsing and searching among the ever-growing library of 4,000+ learning objects and your branded HippoCampus site is the fastest way to get NROC content out to your faculty and students. It is as easy as publishing the link to your HippoCampus site. No course configuration and copying and no special log-ins required. Links to any learning object may be used in your favorite applications. Full NROC course views (minus assessments) are also available at HippoCampus.
NOTE: Full NROC course functionality, including assessments for student performance tracking, requires the courses be installed in a Learning Management System (LMS). Installation guides and downloads for each NROC course are accessible via the Courses and Tools pages on this website.
The Collections Document includes updates on the courses as well as collections of learning objects that are available to your faculty and students and is updated when additional collections are added to HippoCampus. New content collections are also announced in our monthly member newsletter when they become available. Note: Many of the learning objects in these collections are correlated to major textbooks as well as state academic standards and the Common Core.
Instructors can view our tutorials to learn more about HippoCampus, how to use HippoCampus in the classroom, create custom playlists,.etc.
The HippoCampus Administrator can customize your Hippocampus site to meet your institutional needs using the administrative credentials provided when your institution joined NROC.
REMEMBER: Any change you make to your branded site using the "administrator" login will impact what end users see and are able to access – make modifications thoughtfully to ensure maximum flexibility for instructors.
We recommend you create a separate log-in to explore teacher functionality and to use for demonstration and training purposes.

Waterproofing your basement or crawl space is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your home from long-term issues. Failure to attend to a wet basement or crawl space could invite a host of problems, including mold, termites, and damage to the home's foundation. By interviewing thousands of Boston homeowners just like you, EBSCO Research has found the best waterproofing companies in Boston to help you keep your home safe and keep the moisture out.
A buildup of water pressure against the walls or floor of a foundation is the common cause of a leaky, wet basement. Professional waterproofing companies often install drainage systems to relieve the water pressure and keep the basement dry. Sometimes a crack in the foundation is the culprit behind intruding water, and depending on a few factors, such as the type of foundation your home has, a waterproofer may remedy the situation by injecting a lightweight, expanding polyurethane compound into the crack in order to seal it.
Many waterproofing companies also perform crawl space encapsulation. This multistep process includes removing moisture from the crawl space, installing vapor barriers, and insulating the area where appropriate. Some encapsulation systems can also turn the crawl space into a usable storage area. According to the US Department of Energy, properly treating and sealing the crawl space can reduce moisture levels in the home overall, in addition to increasing the efficacy and efficiency of your heating and cooling systems. Who wouldn't trade mold for lower utility bills?
With hundreds of home improvement companies in Boston, though, it can be tough to figure out which one to hire with confidence. EBSCO Research has taken the guesswork out of finding trustworthy contractors by talking to your neighbors and community about their experiences with local home service providers. After thousands of customer interviews, we've pinpointed the waterproofing companies with superior service, industry expertise, and leading-edge products—the companies that deserve the honor of being designated a Best Pick™ Boston waterproofer. Whether your basement or crawl space is feeling damp or you're actually seeing leaks or mold, consult with a Best Pick™ waterproofing company; it's is the surest way to head off future problems and secure your peace of mind.

AP PHOTOS: Women demand Cuba support 1st female boxing team
February 1, 2017
AP, YAHOO News
HAVANA (AP) — Cuban men have won more Olympic boxing medals than fighters from any other country. Now a group of up-and-coming female boxers on the island have their eyes on the gold.
They want government support to form Cuba's first female boxing team and help dispel a decades-old belief once summed up by a former top coach: "Cuban women are meant to show the beauty of their face, not receive punches."

Mobile devices were responsible for 60% of all video views worldwide in Q4 2017 as audiences were more likely to watch programming on a smartphone or tablet than a PC or TV, according to a study by video technology company Ooyala. As more premium sports programming moves online and can be viewed on mobile, this number may top 70% soon.
Smartphones (55%) topped PCs (36%) in Q4 for the percentage of pre-roll ad impressions shown on broadcaster platforms that distribute TV content online. Smartphone pre-roll impressions were highest on publisher platforms at 69%, which Ooyala defines as including news and media organizations. Broadcasters saw mid-roll impressions on smartphones rise to 28% in Q4 from 16% in Q3, while publishers experienced a jump to 51% from 44% for the same periods.

Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.
~Rev. Martin Luther King
My heart has been broken all week for the victims of all the senseless violence in the world, brought into sharp painful view these 2 past weeks -- the Russian airplane full of tourists returning from Egypt; Beirut with terrorist bombings that killed more than 40 and injured hundreds; and then Paris, where the death toll is now 129 but the toll in heightened fear is incalculable. That's what terrorists do, teach us to fear.
France has already begun retaliatory airstrikes: striking ISIS targets but do not doubt that many innocents are also killed. Many politicians in the U.S. are calling for military action -- "boots on the ground" is the evil metaphor they use, it sounds so neutral, doesn't it? In cold, hard reality, those boots have humans in them, mostly young men, whom we are sending to kill and be killed.
Many public officials, notably the Republican governors of many U.S. states, are calling for the US to stop receiving refugees -- people who have nothing but the drive to begin a new life, people fleeing the same violence we fear. And virtually all of these politicians call themselves people of faith. What happened to the call for us to care for one another?
When will it end? When will we ever learn? I feel utterly helpless. I pray, but the prayers just crumble in my parched throat. I don't know what to do about ISIS and others who perpetrate violence, but I cannot imagine that "returning violence for violence" is the answer.
For the love of Godde, can't we stop the cycle and refuse to use violence in response?

Mini Grey studied sequential design at Brighton University before launching her first picture book, Egg Drop, in 2002. Trained in puppet making, set design, welding and carpentry, Mini's style has an unconventional flare and instantly recognizable quirkiness. Her picture books include Traction Man is Here, Traction Man Meets Turbo Dog, Biscuit Bear, Egg Drop and The Pea and the Princess. Amongst numerous nominations & prizes, Mini has won the Smarties Book Award and the Kate Greenaway Prize for The Adventures of the Dish & Spoon.
Traction Man is Here With an action outfit for every occasion, Traction Man patrols the house. Whether he is saving toys (in latex space suit and Perspex helmet, teamed with Rocket Boots); searching the sink for the lost wreck of the sieve (in sub-aqua suit, fluorescent flippers and infra-red mask) or rescuing damsels in distress (in jungle pants, camouflage vest and a bandanna), Traction Man is never less than stylishly turned out and expertly accessorised. He is the last word in heroic fashion flair – until, that is, the day that he is presented with an all-in-one knitted green romper suit and matching bonnet by his owner's granny. Can Traction Man overcome the humiliation of his desperately dowdy new look and rediscover the action hero within or will the burden of the knitted green monstrosity be too great? Traction Man meets Turbo Dog Traction Man is back! And so is Scrubbing Brush, his brave and rather bedraggled pet who stays by his side through thick and thin. But one night Scrubbing Brush mysteriously vanishes and in his place is the utterly hygienic Turbodog, in indestructible Purple Plastic with Flashing Eyes, Electronic Bark and three AA batteries. Both Traction Man books could be used as a basis for a narrative unit on adventure stories or a unit on stories with familiar settings for pupils in lower Key Stage 2. They are well suited to a wide age range and are sufficiently complex to engage older readers in Key Stage 2. The texts are rich in cultural allusions and intertextual references to a range of texts, most obviously comics and film but advertising and environmental print are also featured. The books are thus well suited to group and guided reading with children aged 7+. The books will have particular appeal to readers who respond well to visual and multi-modal texts.
Set up a stimulus display. Here are some suggestions for display themes:
Give each child a copy of the book and invite them to spend time reading the book and looking at the pictures. You can either allow time for children to familiarise themselves with the book at the beginning of the session, or alternatively the children can read the book independently prior to the session. Ask them to keep their thoughts about the book to themselves at this stage. Ask the children to make notes about their initial responses in their reading journals or notebooks. If they are not already familiar with this approach, they may need support. Provide some suggestions about what a response might be. Make it clear that this is not a checklist of ideas and they can include other things that you have not mentioned. Possible responses:
Once the children have made notes in their journals, invite them to read them to other members of the group. Ask children to consider whether they learnt anything new about the book from listening to what others had to say about it. Return to reading the book, but this time encourage discussion in the group. Start by looking at the front cover. Ask the children to talk about whatever interests them. They should agree when they have exhausted their discussion and turn the pages together. Repeat this process until the book has been read and discussed. Children can take it in turns to read the pages before discussing the things they found interesting. When the book has been read and discussed ask the group to list the three things that they found most interesting to feedback to the class in a plenary session.
There are many possibilities for discussion arising from this book. Here are some suggested topics. Select those that seem most appropriate for your class or group.
After using some of the discussion openers above, you may want to look more closely at particular features of the text and illustrations. Here are some suggestions:
Mini Grey uses everyday objects and transforms them into exciting characters for her stories.
Draw attention to the endpapers and specifically the advertisement for a Turbodog.
Traction Man Meets Turbodog is the second Traction Man story. There is a third adventure, Traction Man and the Beach Odyssey, and there is plenty of scope of developing further adventures for this character. Use the familiar characters and a familiar setting to write a sequel.

Today is Melinda's birthday! Six decades on this earth as of today! As seems normal in her family, it is appropriate to post an embarrassing photograph, so at left is one of her dad's favorite images of her (carried it around in his wallet to show his friends). As a little girl of about 2 she is shown sleeping on the potty! Dad must have found some humor in it, and he was carrying it when he died 10 years later, so present it to brighten your day as well.
Melinda is doing fine - in the middle of cycle 2 of Navelbine, gets her 5th infusion on Thursday, the 6th the following Thursday (24 March), then her next PET scan to monitor progress on 4 April. She had enough energy to go out for dinner tonight - her choice was Red Lobster - always one of her favorites! She was inundated with cards, texts and phone calls today. For her birthday I got us tickets to David Crosby (of Crosby, Stills, and Nash) who makes a stop in Tucson on a solo tour next Friday. She's a fan, so should be a nice evening. Oh, and while I offered to reproduce a present-day shot of her dozing on the potty, she declined, posing instead with the piece of carrot cake I got her for dessert. Happy Birthday Hon!

Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the car was introduced to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd earliest nameplate currently in production. Original sales forecasts forecasted less than 100,000 units for the very first year. This mark was gone beyond in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered throughout the design year (a record), and in its very first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built.
Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, however several modifications were made at the standard opening of the brand-new model year (beginning August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some models, the intro of generators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. When it comes to at least some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some uncommon peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo underneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These attributes made adequate difference to necessitate classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a difference that has actually withstood with purists. Mustangs For Sale in Rutland VT are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more stringent pollution laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the very first time in automotive history that the Huge 3 were needing to take on imports. The new Mustang II was smaller than the very first version but, due to the added devices needed to fulfill brand-new US emission and safety policies, was much heavier than the first model. Performance was reduced and in the very first year just 385,993 cars were sold.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in Rutland VT were readily available between 1974 and 1978 and offered in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was revamped a third time. This time it was based upon the larger Fox platform and the interior was actually huge enough for four individuals. The trunk was bigger and so was the engine bay. The body designs available consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang acted as an Indianapolis 500 speed automobile and Ford constructed 10,478 commemorative replicas. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Skull Valley Rice 'n' Beans
An awesome person I know has a much-loved recipe charmingly called Skull Valley. She has described it simply as taco meat and fixings on rice. I don't know why it's called Skull Valley but I love the name!
Rice and beans are an excellent vegetarian combo, as they make a complete protein together. It's a whole-is-greater-than-the-sum-of-the-parts thing. Rice n beans are great, but rice n beans with some ground bison and veggies thrown in? Now we're talking! This dish is my morphed version of Skull Valley and rice n beans, so happy together!
There's a lot of choppin', so watch your fingers!
Skull Valley Rice 'n' Beans
3/4C red and brown jasmine rice or some other whole-grain rice blend
olive oil cooking spray
350g ground bison (ground turkey would also work great here)
1 red pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 jalepeno pepper, finely minced
4 large mushrooms, chopped
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne
salt and pepper
3/4C cooked black beans
hot sauces, to taste
Cooke the rice according to directions. In the meantime, heat a large frying pan or wok on med-high and spray with olive oil cooking spray. Add the onion, red pepper, jalepeno,and bison, using spoon to break up the ground meat. When the bison begins to brown, add the mushrooms and spices and turn heat to high. Cook, stirring constantly,until all liquid had evaporated and the meat is cooked through. Add the black beans, then season with hot sauces of your choice (I usually have about half a dozen on hand!) or just salt and pepper to taste. When the rice is cooked, toss that in too and combine.
Garnish with cilantro, Biobest plain yogurt, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, salsa,and whatever else tickles your fancy.
Nutritional values: For 1/3 of recipe (I like to make extra servings for lunches)not including garnishes, 379 calories, 5.5g fat, 32g protein, 54g carbs, 7g fibre, 400mg sodium.

RetroShare has been inspired by the design of the Turtle algorithm:
"When designing Turtle, we were inspired by the way people living under oppressive regimes share information deemed "hostile" by their government (this can be books, newsletters, video and audio recordings, or even political jokes). Because of the potentially very serious consequences raising from being caught possessing/distributing such material, no single individual is willing to share it, except with close friends. Experience has repeatedly shown that, even in the most repressive environments, this "friends-to-friends" delivery network is remarkably effective in disseminating information, with relatively little risks for the participating parties; if one chooses his friends carefully, the chance of being caught doing the forbidden exchanges becomes very small."
Retroshare "... makes it difficult to intrude and hardly possible to monitor from an external point of view." This makes government monitoring and prosecution impossible beyond the will of Retroshare users

Sterile, brightly lit rooms of computer screens. All showing spreadsheets or charts or static maps of the world. I yawn even thinking of it.
And yet the men and women working this environment 24/7 are responsible for detecting that one little anomaly or sorting out the REAL bad traffic patterns from among the thousands of False Positive bad traffic patterns that show up on their screens hourly.
Little wonder the poor Security Analysts over at Target missed the evidence in front of them. The sheer enormity and chaos of data that assaults them in the course of their workday is stressful and overwhelming. All the screens look the same, tables and columns, and rows of information about network and security events collected and forwarded by every device on the network. Then hundred or thousands of rules process them to try to find deviations from "normal traffic". Like any network has "normal traffic". Right...
I know. I've worked in or around these systems for the past two decades. I've seen the tools appear, mature, merge, morph, and become "fairly" useable. But the false positives are still rampant, and low and slow "Advanced Persistent Threats" are under the radar and typically don't show up here.
So when an upstart Security Analytics company called me late in 2013 to show me what they've been working on, well... I could care less. Really... They tried hard to influence me with their Pedigree: Harking from the minds

Where Is He?
[Know] this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires.
They will say, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep,
all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation." 2 Peter 3:3–4
I just finished up a message for our monthly newsletter yesterday while our community was anticipating a major storm to hit. Schools let out early, and meetings and trips were being cancelled. These dire warnings reminded me of the signs that Jesus foretold would accompany the end of the world and divine judgment. The bottom line was that we need to be prepared.
And what happened with the storm? No much, at least not in our local area, compared to what was feared. The storm that did come was later and weaker than anticipated. So, what does that do to our confidence in weather predictions? What are we to think of all of our weather aps, warnings and meteorologists who do their best to prepare for us for the worst? Some people will lose trust in these predictors of calamity and relegate them to the status of Aesop's "boy who cried wolf". People tend to weary of what they view as "false alarms".
And certainly that will apply to those who speak as Peter describes above. They will scoff at Biblical doomsday prophesies. Especially now, as we have seen two thousand years pass and still no sign of His coming. It's one thing not to believe in human predictions, even when backed by the best science. It's quite another thing not to trust divine prophecy from God Himself.
But, what is seen as slowness or tardiness on God's part is actually a blessing to the unbelievers of every generation. God's nature is always to extend mercy and to be patient so that people will repent of their ways and turn to Him. Peter says as much in verse nine of the same chapter. And, it is good to remember Christ's words about His own mission. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. (John 3:17) If that takes giving people and even whole nations time to repent, so be it.
For us who do believe, we can rejoice that in due time God's perfect justice and perfect mercy will rule the day. For those who do not believe, be patient with them. God certainly is.

NHL Playoff Game Night: 5-3-16 Lightning at Islanders
Hit me with your best shot...
Eastern Conference Semifinals
Tampa Bay Leads the Series 2-1
Ben Bishop allowed 4 goals on 39 shots for the win. He was the victim of some very sloppy play by his defense tonight, and while his stat line is not impressive on its face, it included about a half dozen ten bell saves in key moments of the game that allowed the Lightning to maintain contact and eventually steal the win.
First Period
7:55 NYI Bailey(1), (Kulemin, Hamonic)
19:47 TB Callahan(1), (Killorn, Filppula)(PP)
Second Period
8:10 TB Hedman(2), (Johnson)
14:50 NYI Leddy(1), (Clutterbuck, Cizikas)
Third Period
2:27 NYI Bailey(2), (Hickey, Prince)(PP)
3:25 TB Namestnikov(1), (Filppula, Killorn)
11:23 NYI Clutterbuck(2), (Cizikas)
19:21 TB Kucherov(7), (Drouin, Hedman)
2:48 TB Boyle(2), (Hedman, Callahan)
Brian Boyle and Victor Hedman were the game's first and second stars.
The Islanders made it pretty clear going into this game they were determined to transform this series into a street fight rather than a hockey exhibition. After being dominated for much of the last 90 minutes of hockey in Game One and Game Two in Tampa Bay, the Islanders were busy splicing up hype videos glorifying Erik Condra's concussion (classy) and trying to start scrums in pregame warmups (Hamonic running into Boyle). There was no equivocating about the night's agenda: the Islanders were going to try to pound the skill out of the Lightning. And, to be honest, they nearly succeeded. In the First Period, Jonathan Drouin made an ill advised attempt to cut to the center of the ice that led to a bone-jarring hit by Hickey that put Jonathan Drouin into the quiet room until deep into the Third Period. With Drouin out and the Lightning playing a skeleton crew of 10 forwards and about 4.5 NHL caliber defensemen, the Isles fourth line waged a night-long campaign to pummel the Lightning into turnovers and mistakes. Back and forth they fought, with the Lightning amazingly answering Bailey's second goal of the night with a Namestnikov equalizer on the very next shift in the Third Period. But, eventually it all took a toll that put the team into a 4-3 hole midway through the Third Period after Jason Garrison (who had an awful case of the yips all game long) threw away a puck off of Cizikas' skate on what became a perfect centering feed to Cal Clutterbuck for what appeared to be the winning goal.
And then, out of the locker room, young Jonathan Drouin strode forth like a boss... the stuff of legend.
With the extra attacker pulled and under one minute to play, Drouin (who also absorbed a pretty nasty high stick that drew blood from his nose after returning midway through the Third Period) swooped down the left wing boards probing for a sliver of a crease through the Islander defense. Then, at the moment of truth, he found Nikita Kucherov (the finisher of #ThatLine) dead center of the slot. Bang. Bang. In the blink of an eye the Islanders' perfectly laid plans were obliterated by a player who they thought they had buried less than two periods earlier. And, the indignity was just beginning...
Recall that revenge is a dish best served cold (an old Klingon proverb, as the late great Ricardo Montalban would remind us).
Early in overtime, Brian Boyle crushed Thomas Hickey at the Isles blueline, forcing a turnover that eventually led to a 3-on-2 rush. The puck found the trailer, Victor Hedman, who in Hedman-esque fashion missed the net. The bounce found Boyle at the side of an open cage. Kisses to Travis Hamonic. Drive home safely, everybody. Lightning lead the series 2-1.
Was it artful? No. The Lightning's puck management was terrible in this game, and for a wide swath of the Third Period it looked like the Islanders' plan to pull the Lightning's collective punk card was going to work. But both the Lightning and Jonathan Drouin ultimately proved tonight that if you take a shot at them, you best not miss. And, you'd better be sure you kill them, or they're fully capable of rising back up and taking you out. That's the resilience of a team that, over the last calendar year, has been in a lot tougher spots and faced a lot deeper adversity than what they faced in that SUV showroom in Brooklyn tonight.
Now the series rolls onto Game Four, where a fragile young Islanders team that isn't overly skilled to begin with will have to manufacture a win to stay viable in the series. They just gave the Lightning their best shot and were less than a minute from victory before getting absolutely humiliated by the two tormentors (Drouin and Boyle) they probably least expected and least wanted to have the satisfaction. The Lightning, on the other hand, have already accomplished their mission in Brooklyn. They've wrestled home ice back from the Islanders and they move into Game Four playing with a heaping stack of the house's chips. Advantage: Lightning. They have a golden opportunity to apply the right pressure to end this series quickly while Stralman, Brown, and Stamkos continue to get healthier by the day and the Caps and Penguins continue to kill each other in protracted, bloody warfare on the other side of the Eastern Conference bracket. For a Lightning team that pretty much did everything the hard way in last year's postseason en route to a painful loss in six games in the Stanley Cup Final, this is a chance to set all their ducks in a row in nearly perfect fashion and give themselves the best possible strategic chance to win it all this year.
Matt Taormina played 2:43. He got 4 shifts all game. I'm not sure he got one after a glorious turnover that nearly ended up in the back of his own net. I'd expect to see him out of the lineup in Game Four.
Slater Koekkoek was +1 with 2 penalty minutes, 3 shots, and 1 blocked shot in 11:35. With Taormina and Nesterov hardly cloaking themselves in glory tonight, the coaching staff gave Koekkoek a little extra responsibility. And, with the exception of one really awful turnover in the Third Period on a failed breakout pass, he handled it pretty well, including some penalty kill time. Perhaps a silver lining of Stralman breaking his leg and Carle getting nicked up will be that Koekkoek plays enough to get a higher level of comfort from the coaching staff to feed him some minutes. Athletically, he's far better equipped to handle it than a lot of the other options available.

|~It's the white tree this year~
But soon, like tomorrow, I will be back into the swing of sewing things (with a whirlwind of fervor)! On November 16th, I opened my Etsy shop, and after Thanksgiving I thought I might like to get busy and start creating some product to sell - lol. That's what I've been doing the last couple weeks: talking to my wholesalers, updating my fabric inventory, and preparing product to sew and sell.
|~Satin inventory~
|~Product cut and ready for sewing~
I'm excited! I have all sorts of ideas spinning through my head and I love it! Just so you know I haven't been slacking, but taking care of business...
Blessings and happy sewing!

Sports and outdoor activities
Most visitors to the Netherlands confine their exercise to cycling and walking, both of which are ideally suited to the flatness of the terrain and, for that matter, the excellence of the public transport system. The Netherlands also offers all the sporting facilities you would expect of a prosperous, European country, from golf to gymnasia, swimming pools to horseriding, plus one or two more distinctive activities: these include Korfball, canal ice skating, though this is of course dependent on the weather being cold enough, and the idiosyncratic pole sitting, wherby participants literally sit on top of a pole for as long as possible.
Beaches and watersports
The Netherlands possesses some great sandy beaches on both its western and northern coasts, although it has to be admitted that the weather is notoriously unreliable – some say bracing – and the North Sea is really rather murky. There are a number of fully-fledged seaside resorts – such as Zandvoort and Scheveningen – but there are nicer, quieter stretches of coast, most notably amid the wild dunes and beaches that make up the Nationaal Park Zuid-Kennemerland near Haarlem. There are also long sandy strands right across the islands of the Waddenzee from Texel to Schiermonnikoog and these beaches are popular for windsurfing and kitesurfing. The lakes of Friesland and the IJsselmeer are good for sailing, particularly the yachting centre of Sneek.
Spectator sports
The chief spectator sport is football (soccer) and the teams that make up the country's two professional leagues attract a fiercely loyal following. Big-deal clubs include PSV Eindhoven (w psv.nl); Feyenoord from Rotterdam (w feyenoord.nl); and Amsterdam's Ajax (w ajax.nl). The football season runs from September to May, and matches are traditionally held on Sunday at 2.30pm, with occasional games at 8pm on Wednesday. Tickets for key matches are notoriously hard to come by.
Played from one end of the Netherlands to the other, Korfball (w korfball.com) is a home-grown sport cobbled together from netball, basketball and volleyball, and played with mixed teams and a high basket. To watch a game, ask for fixture details at the local tourist office.

'I had left the ticket in work': Hospital syndicate's anxious wait for EuroMillions Plus win
13/02/2018 - 17:54:00Back to Heathrow Ireland Home
A syndicate of hospital administration staff have collected their €500,000 EuroMillions Plus prize.
The 18-person syndicate from the Portiuncula Hospital in Ballinasloe, Co Galway were in the National Lottery headquarters today to collect their winnings, which will amount to €28,000 each.
The 'Lucky Ladies Syndicate' - with ages varying from their 20s to 60s - purchased the winning Quick Pick ticket at the Oasis Shop in the hospital.
"Last Tuesday evening, we were all sitting around during our coffee break when the conversation turned to the rolling EuroMillions jackpot," said the syndicate leader Amy Moran.
"After discussing what we would each do with our imagined riches, we decided to put a euro each into the pot and buy a ticket between us – little did we know we'd be sipping champagne in the National Lottery a few days later."
Hours after the 'Lucky Ladies Syndicate' was set-up, they were big winners.
"Word about the half a million euro win in Ballinasloe came through late on Tuesday night and the texts came absolutely flooding in," Moran added.
"I had left the ticket in work so there was no way we could find out if we had won as we didn't have a clue what numbers we had.
"It was a long anxious wait until 8am the following morning and as we came into work, word had already spread that the winning ticket was sold in the hospital shop. We knew it had to be us!"
"I'm absolutely thrilled for all of the girls. It's a group with varying ages so everybody has their own plans for the money with new cars and holidays top of the shopping lists.
"Most of the group have families and children in college so the money will come in very handy over the next couple of months."
Wednesday's Lotto jackpot is an estimated €6 million.
