Cold soba noodle is one of the most refreshing dishes to eat during the hot summer in Japan. But it's so good that it may be served too often in the same way and family members will eventually get really bored with it.
So, a famous blogger Miyachan invented a cold soba noodle dish that is cute and attractive to look at. It's a "TOTORO" Tororo Soba - Studio Ghibli's TOTORO-shaped buckwheat soba noodle with tororo (grated gooey Nagaimo yam)!

RBS facing multibillion lawsuit as rights issue claims mount
Royal Bank of Scotland could be facing as much as £5 billion in legal claims from shareholders over its 2008 rights issue, as groups seeking damages from the bank report a late surge of interest from investors ahead of a May 15 deadline.
According to people close to the shareholder action groups, investors have added claims worth hundreds of millions of pounds in the past few weeks. There is considerable uncertainty over the final totals, however, until formal claim documents are filed.
In a statement, an RBS spokeswoman said the bank intends to "vigorously" defend itself and its shareholders, which include UK taxpayers, against the claims being brought. She said: "While RBS and its former directors made some business decisions that have been criticised, this does not mean that they misled investors or acted illegally."
Four groups of shareholders have been formed under a December 2013 "Group Litigation Order" - a court order that means the claims will be managed collectively because they involve substantially the same matters of fact or law.
All of the groups allege that Royal Bank of Scotland and its key directors misled them over the bank's financial health when they issued new shares in the bank in early 2008.
About £12 billion was raised in the rights issue, aimed at shoring up its capital position following its deal to acquire Dutch bank ABN Amro. But despite the extra money, within months the bank had almost collapsed and had to be bailed out by the UK government.
The largest, and lead grouping of shareholders, known as the RBoS Action Group, is being advised by lawyers Bird & Bird. It comprises 100 institutional investors and around 13,000 individual shareholders and said a year ago that its total claims could be worth up to £4 billion by the time they are filed.
However, during a pre-trial review in February, Bird & Bird was criticised by the judge for mis-stating the value of the claims made under the group's action. A spokeswoman for Bird & Bird said: "While there was previously a factual error in expressing the value of claims issued, which was notified to the Court as soon as it was recognised, there was no miscalculation of the Action Group's size of membership and the balance of the Action Group's substantial claims will be issued shortly."
The RBoS Action Group imposed a deadline of April 30 on new expressions of interest in joining, as it will need a couple of weeks to process them ahead of the May 15 deadline for filing.
However, this morning, the group said it would extend this deadline. The deadline for institutional investors to join is now May 12, while the deadline for retail shareholders is May 9.
According to a person close to the group, during the past month shareholders with a potential £500 million of additional claims have expressed interest in joining. He added that an exact value on the total claims would not be known until they are all formally filed at court, but argued £5 billion would be a conservative estimate given the amounts attributed to all the shareholder groups so far.
News of the second-largest group emerged last week, comprising the institutional shareholders Legal & General, Aviva, Prudential, and the Universities Superannuation Scheme. These shareholders formally filed their claim this week, a USS spokeswoman confirmed.
Their claim, which is being handled by US class-action specialists Quinn Emanuel, could be worth around £1 billion, according to the news agency Reuters.
Stewarts Law is co-ordinating a third group of institutional investors, 101 of them according to the firm's latest public statement. But a person close to this grouping said that this total was now likely to be "substantially" higher than that, with claims also exceeding £1 billion.
A fourth group, the RBS Rights Issue Action group, comprises retail shareholders co-ordinated by Leon Kaye Solicitors, and has claims worth about £20 million. This group is accepting new joiners until May 9.
-- Update: This story was updated at 15:00 GMT on Thursday May 1 after the RBoS Action Group extended its deadlines for shareholders to join.

A native of Southern California, Ed Moses was a leader of abstract painting in the region. Alongside such artists as Ken Price, Billy Al Bengston, John Altoon and Ed Ruscha—many of whom congregated at the legendary Ferus Gallery in the late 1950s—Moses contributed to the artistic invention that was exploding in Los Angeles. His fellowship at Tamarind occurred around the time these same Los Angeles–based artists were making their way to the venerable workshop in Hollywood to try their hands at printmaking. While there, Moses continued to pursue his interest in the processes and materials of his work, which resulted in the first three-dimensional lithographs. To achieve these, the artist printed a keystone image, which was then cut with a razor. The image remained attached by three tabs that were folded to stand up a quarter inch away from the surface of the paper.

They were protesting against oil giant Anadarko drilling at a site over 100 nautical miles off the west coast of New Zealand, and in waters around a kilometre and a half deep.They were at sea for close to three weeks. The Greenpeace sponsored yacht SV Vega spent seven days inside the 500 metre exclusion zone as the Noble Bob Douglas prepared to start drilling. The yachts arriving in Auckland are SV Baltazar, SV Friendship, SV Shearwater II and SV Vega. SV Ratbag arrived back at her home port in the Bay of Islands today while SV Tiama is heading south. The flotilla is a coalition of individuals and boat owners who oppose deep-sea drilling and the new legislation that takes away New Zealander's long-standing right to peacefully protest at sea.

Microsoft Corp. has very serious plans to transform the Xbox Live from a gaming service for the Xbox 360 into a highly-integrated content service for personal computers, game consoles, mobile phones and so on. As a result, Xbox Live will be integrated into Windows 8 operating system, according to the software giant.
"Xbox Live has been successful on the Windows Phone. Live will be built into the PC. It will be the service where you get your entertainment. You will not just see consoles and handhelds at [E3] show next year, this show's going to morph into other devices. […] With the Nokia relationship, we are going to have a lot more distribution of phones and Live will be the primary entertainment service. I think that's going to be a good play for us," said Mike Delman, vice president of global marketing at Microsoft's interactive entertainment business group, in an interview with the Seattle Times.
With Xbox Live installed onto various types of devices, Microsoft will be able to offer one of the most sophisticated content distribution service. The world's largest maker of software is currently working with more content providers, including TV stations, to get their continent onto Xbox Live. The plan is to make the once purchased content available across a wide range of devices at the same time.
"If we have that and the PCs to leverage, that will be a big Live base. It's our job to make 'buy a movie in one place and play it everywhere, buy a game in one place and play it everywhere'. Making things portable will be a big focus of ours. […] Xbox Live will the pervasive media service across devices," added Mr. Delman.
An interesting question is which services and what kind of content will be available on which devices. For example, it is unlikely that games for Xbox 360 digitally distributed using Xbox Live will also be playable on PCs.

The walls of the cafe are decorated with historic photographs of the community starting with its heyday at the turn of the century. Photographs of Buddy are among them.
One shows him as an elementary school student. But the more predominant is of Buddy as a young man dressed in his rodeo uniform: blue jeans, a western shirt, cowboy hat and thin as a rail.
Buddy, now nearing 80 and still just as thin, wearing the same uniform, stares at the photograph. The two are decades apart, but the intense, blue eyes are unchanged: the kind that can size up a man's character as easily as the cut of a steer.
It's a talent that has served him well since he started rodeoing right out of high school. It was the early 1950s, in the middle of a drought, when dollars was as scarce as raindrops.
"It looked like a good way to make money," Buddy says, "You could make a lot more money than working on the ranch. But, I didn't know you couldn't make enough to live."
The key to successful rodeoing, he reveals, "is a good horse."
In 1954, he bought his first horse and went "up north."
North, to Montana.
"You had a better chance of winning up there," he says. "Less competition."
He went with a friend.
"He had a trailer but no car. I had a car but no trailer."
Trouble was, his companion was just married.
"I went with them on their honeymoon," Buddy says, laughing. "I just found out his wife has been mad at me for 57 years."
They followed the circuit, from Custer, South Dakota, to Great Falls, Montana, to Deadwood, South Dakota—anywhere there was a rodeo.
Buddy specialized in calf roping.
By the next year, he knew he needed a better horse.
"You don't win unless you have a good horse."
Buddy found him. An all-brown steed he called "Salty," which he bought for $2,500—on credit.
"I started sending almost all of my winnings home by money order to make the payments. I only kept about $200 for entry fees."
Many are the moments in a man's life, some pivotal.
Buddy's was somewhere on the circuit, with nothing but faith and $15 in his pocket.
His conversation in Van's takes an unexpected turn. His eyes mist, and his voice breaks. He reaches for a paper napkin to wipe his eyes. "I got down on my hands and knees and asked for help," he relates, trying to control is emotion.
"I roped that calf in the fastest time the rodeo had ever recorded," he says. "I won $650."
Was it divine intervention when he prayed for help or when he found Salty?
"Both," he smiles.
"Salty didn't live for very long," he says, remembering what he still considers the best-performing rodeo horse he ever owned. "Stopping a 400-pound calf was nothing to him."
A photograph and Buddy on Salty is testimony. Beside him is another rider on a horse with an arched neck, looking as if he is about to prance for the camera. No such showmanship for Salty. He appears strong and straight, all business.
"I've been looking for another horse like that," Buddy says, "for 57 years."
Although he once hitch-hiked from New York to Texas, for subsequent trips he bought a 1949 GMC pickup. He put two barrels of gas in the truck's bed (his father operated a number of service stations in George West), had his mother make sandwiches which he packed in a shoebox and headed east.
It was winter; no heater in the truck. Twelve miles out of Alliance, Nebraska, a fan blade broke off and went through the radiator.
A man pushed Buddy's trailer and pickup to town, where a mechanic removed a second blade opposite the broken one to balance what now was a two-blade fan, and sliced the radiator in half.
"He didn't quite fix it," Buddy recalls. "It had a small leak, so I had to add water about every 20 miles."
On a cold Sunday in Broken Bow, Nebraska, Buddy found a small building with a sign on the fence that read "Radiator Repair."
"I woke him up," Buddy remembers. " He said he couldn't fix it, but then he did."
When he got to Missouri the water pump failed.
He took a taxi to town, bought a water pump and installed it with a wrench and a pair of pliers. "It was easier to work on things under the hood back then," he says.
He was traveling with a companion, C.T. Jones.
I got us a hotel room for $1.50, but C.T. wanted something fancier so he got us a room for $3. We had a simple agreement,' Buddy says. "Whoever wins at the rodeo pays for the room."
In his early days of rodeoing in Montana, he noticed a lithe, young Sharon Mae Buchli winning a cutting-horse competition.
"I asked her if she would marry me."
"I might," she replied.
On Oct. 18, 1956, just days after she turned 18, he and Sharon married.
In 1964, with his two daughters attending school, he started looking to buy some land. His father loaned him $20,000 to buy 400 acres near Oakville. It was time, if not to settle down, for the lure of a rodeo ring to give way to the responsibilities of a wedding ring.
As his life was changing, so was rodeoing.
"When I started, you could make a lot more money—it seemed like a lot of money to me at the time—than staying on at the ranch," he remembers. "Today, you have to make it to the finals before you can make any money."
Buddy raises cattle and a few horses, just to keep his hand in the business. "And I do whatever Sharon asks me to do."
Quite often, he attends the Friday sale at the Beeville Livestock Commission auction — as much to eye the cattle for sale as for what arguably are some of the best hamburgers in the county, where he often sits with other ranchers whose rodeo times are becoming far and few between.
"Rodeoing is a lot more fun than working," he says.
"But dangerous?"
His blue eyes follow an 18-wheel gravel truck raising dust on the I-37 frontage road next to Van's.
"What's dangerous is the highway."
W.K. Stratton, in his book Chasing the Rodeo, helped describe the anachronistic role of people caught in an Internet age who still respond to the rodeo's call.
"Rodeo...is a ritual...it defines people who take part in it as well as the community in which it takes place....It's a family with an untamed lifestyle, maybe not as much so as it once was, but immeasurably so when compared to the lives of suburbanites on commuter trains or struck in freeway congestion."
Would Buddy do it again, given the chance?
"It's the only thing I would do."

My dd is 4 days old and I have been BFing since the hospital. However, I have given her a bottle because I was convinced there was no milk/nothing coming out and she seemed hungry. I have a pump and am also pumping milk. The problem is that when I pump I don't even get an ounce. I know how often to feed, but she is not a good latcher. I know to pump whenever I give a bottle. What I don't know is how much milk I should be producing at this point and if I can pump for the majority of her milk? The little bit of milk seems to be coming directly out the nipple and not the ducts around the areola?
Also, my breats are full! I am about to engorge at this point.
Thanks for any advice

Lady Gaga joined Twitter on March 26, 2008. And the undisputed Queen of Twitter has dominated Twitter for quite some time now. Twitter Counter tracked her growth since December 24, 2008 and @LadyGaga currently has followers, has gained followers yesterday, has tweeted times and is following people. She's holding the # position.
Lady Gaga, Queen of Twitter
Surpassing Britney Spears in August 2010, Lady Gaga became with over 5.7 million followers the most followed person on Twitter. After being crowned Queen of Twitter she thought it would be nice to thank her "little monsters" via a personal video message:
In May 2011 Lady Gaga became the first to ever hit 10 million followers on Twitter, and by March 2012 Lady Gaga reached 20 million Twitter followers. Hitting a new Twitter milestone. An astonishing figure that meant she was gaining, on average, around 900,000 new followers a month. Now, ain't that something?

Teaching Children
It is human nature to trust those around us more than people from elsewhere. We like to believe the way we do things in our workplaces, communities and states is better than how things are handled elsewhere.
We need to get over that regarding public schools in West Virginia. Clearly, some of what we are doing is not working.
During a conference on education reform this past week in Charleston, West Virginia residents were urged to think of Florida as a model in some ways.
One of the speakers at the conference, sponsored by the Education Alliance, was Mary Laura Bragg, director of policy for the Foundation for Excellence in Education. Bragg formerly worked as a school teacher in Florida.
A multi-year campaign to improve Florida schools paid off, Bragg said. More high school students are graduating, the school dropout rate has been slashed by 50 percent, and Florida students are doing better on standardized tests.
The key to what Bragg explained about the Florida experience was in one comment: "The decision was made to do away with the old and to think about education in a totally different way and to base all our education policies on the idea that all children can learn. Every policy was tied to accountability in some way, so that students were the focus of all of our reforms."
Some of what Florida did already is part of West Virginia's reform campaign. For example, early intervention to ensure children can read adequately by third grade is in the works here.
Learning from school reform initiatives in other states certainly will be important in West Virginia. But more critical is the idea of evaluating every policy, no matter how old, no matter how staunchly defended by special interests, from the standpoint of whether it is good for students in our schools.
If it isn't, it needs to be changed. Otherwise, West Virginia's students will continue to lag behind those from other areas where educators and policymakers have decided tradition and political clout are lousy substitutes for progress that benefits our children.

No Child Left Behind (NCLB)
Highly Qualified Teachers and Paraprofessionals
Qualified Bilingual Teachers, Special Education Teachers
and Teachers in Small Rural Schools
Districts with teachers granted a period of time to become highly qualified by filing ISBE form 77-36 "Request to Report Status of Bilingual Teacher, Special Education, and Rural School Teacher as Highly Qualified for NCLB Purposes" received an ISBE letter sent to the district approving the teachers for the assignment.

USDE Definition of Highly Qualified Teacher
Parents Right to Know Qualifications of Educators
Professional Development: The term "professional development" (as defined by USDE)
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 stated that paraprofessionals must show competency (e. g., be qualified) no later than four years after the law was enacted, by January 8, 2006. The deadline for teachers to become highly qualified in their core academic area was June 30, 2006. The U. S. Department of Education is extending the deadline for paraprofessionals, believing that the qualified paraprofessional and highly qualified teacher provisions should be consistent. USDE will align its monitoring and enforcement efforts of states for both the highly qualified teacher and paraprofessional provisions of the law. This will ensure a more efficient, effective and coordinated method of monitoring state efforts in these areas while ensuring that all children are provided with the resources the law provides them.

According to information from DPS, it was about 9:31 a.m. when Joshua West, 27, of Gatesville, was driving a 2003 Ford F-250 pickup in the northbound lane towing a trailer when the trailer began to sway, causing West to lose control of the pickup and cross into oncoming traffic in the southbound lane. West was not wearing his seat belt at the time.
The Ford pickup collided with a southbound 2006 Chevy pickup driven by Lance Bryan, 27, of Pleasanton. Bryan, who was wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash, died as a result of injuries sustained in the collision.
A Hyundai Elantra, driven by Amanda Aguirre of Beeville, was following the Ford pickup in the northbound lane when it struck the engine that had been ejected from the Chevy pickup after the initial collision.
A 2006 Peterbilt 18-wheeler driven by Edward Sturgis, 47, of Nacogdoches, was following the Hyundai, also in the northbound lane when it struck the Ford pickup, jackknifing in the middle of the highway. Sturgis was wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash and received only minor injuries.
West was airlifted to University Hospital for treatment to broken legs.
A passenger in the Hyundai, Irma Perez, 53, of Kenedy, was also airlifted to University Hospital in unknown condition complaining of neck, shoulder and back pain.
The Ford pickup that veered into oncoming traffic was pulling a flat-bed trailer containing chemicals, according to information from the State Operations Center. Three 55-gallon drums containing a solution of Aluminum Chloride and polymerized Amine fell off of the trailer and ruptured, affecting 1,000 feet of pavement and a bar ditch. SWS Environmental responded and worked to clean up the spill. The responsible party is Solution Services of Pleasanton.
The highway was closed, and traffic detoured for several hours as a result of the accident which remains under investigation.

There isn't any word about platter count on WD's site, but they state 9,5 mm height for the drive - while all of the 500GB drives I've seen so far featured 12,5mm height, direct consequence of the increased platter count. So either WD managed to pack 3 platters in a standard 9,5mm chasis, or the platters are actually two. I'm inclined to believe that the latter may be the case, given the modest power requirements of the 500GB model. If so, these would be the fastest 5400RPM drives out there.
Western Digital, a leading maker of hard disk drives (HDDs), has unveiled its first mobile 500GB hard drive that features standard form-factor and fits mainstream notebooks. In addition, the company began to offer 400GB HDD as well.
WD Scorpio Blue offers 400GB and 500GB capacities, features 5400rpm motor, 8MB of cache and Serial ATA-150/300. The manufacturer declares 5.5ms average latency as well as 12ms average seek time for the new hard disk drives. The unveiled Scorpio Blue features three 166GB platters, which are currently the largest in the industry of 2.5" hard disk drives. Nevertheless, the novelty's height is just 9.5mm, whereas some of the drives with comparable capacity feature 12.5mm height.
The new Scorpio Blue features an array of WD's exclusive technology's aimed at improving performance, reducing noise and power consumption and protecting the drive from shocks.
"WD continues to provide the mobile market with high-capacity storage everywhere consumers and business professionals travel," said Jim Morris, WD's vice president and general manager of notebook storage. "Notebook system manufacturers continue to improve performance, while adding data-hungry features. The WD Scorpio Blue 400 GB and 500 GB hard drives provide the capacity needed to maximize the latest features and functions available in today's notebook computers, while relying on WD's exceptional reliability."
WD Scorpio Blue 500 GB and the 400 GB hard drives are shipping now through select distributors and resellers. Manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for the WD Scorpio Blue 500 GB is $219.99 and the 400 GB is $189.99.
Now that WD has 2.5" hard drives with 400GB and 500GB capacities, the company is highly likely to offer external HDDs featuring the new Scorpio Blue inside.

Mother accused of smoking pot with teenAugust 27,2013Staff Report
BENNINGTON — A North Bennington mother is facing criminal charges after police said they believed she was smoking marijuana with her 15-year-old son.
Abigail L. Drown, 35, of North Bennington, pleaded innocent in Bennington criminal court to two misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
In an affidavit, Officer William DiNunzio, of the Bennington Police Department, said Leon Hamilton, Drown's ex-husband and father of her three sons, made a report to police July 2.
Hamilton said he was "concerned with the pot smoking and drinking going on when the sons go to visit."
Two sons, who were 18 and 15 at the time, live with Hamilton and a third son, who is 12, lives with Drown.
In a written statement, the 15-year-old said he had smoked marijuana and drank alcohol with his mother at the house when he
visited but said "weed was the most drug use in the house."
According to DiNunzio, the Vermont Department of Children and Families was already investigating the allegations when he called them to make a report.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...

French pianist Philippe Bianconi has performed with the Madison Symphony Orchestra so often he soon might be listed as part of the core company.
He has played with the orchestra in 2001, 2003, 2010 and 2012.
This weekend he is performing Johannes Brahms "Concerto for Piano and Orchestra," the composer's second piano concerto, a 50-minute piece that provides the artist little time to rest his busy fingers.
Bianconi is a crowd favorite and the Friday night audience gave him two standing ovations, one for the concerto and one for a brief Dubussy encore.
Bianconi has a no-nonsense playing style. He sits down at the Steinway and goes to work -- and he does so for the better part of an hour. It is a magnificent performance and, if you like piano, you will be thrilled to hear it.
The concerto takes up the second half of this weekend's program.
The first half included Benjamin Britten's "Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Purcell" and Claude Debussy's "La Mer."
The Britten piece was commissioned in 1946 by the British Ministry of Education. The ministry wanted a documentary film to introduce children to the instruments of the orchestra.
This piece has many solos and featured acts. The tuba gets a chance, as does the bassoon, the piccolo, the harp and the drums and, well, pretty much every instrument. That's the point.
It is fun to hear. It is also pure music, not, for example, "Peter and the Wolf," which tells a story.
The Debussy piece premiered in 1905. Though it has been played by the MSO four times previously, the last performance was in 2002.
J. Michael Allsen, who writes the program notes for the concerts, said Debussy's work is somewhat equivalent to the work of impressionist artists of the day, and the impressionists loved to play around with water.
"La Mer" is based on an impression of three states of the sea, from dawn to noon, dancing waves, and a "dialogue of the wind and the sea," a thunderous conclusion to a beautiful piece of music.

Should I start with a bottle and move to a sippy cup? Or should I just start with a sippy cup? Any suggestions would be great. Also how long can you store breastmilk in the freezer?

5-8-2010 PNC Park
When I got out of my car around 3:45, the skies were looking rather overcast. It wasn't raining, so I was hoping batting practice would still be on.
It wasn't. When it became obvious that batting practice wasn't going to happen, I was faced with a decision. Go home, or put my 109 consecutive game streak on the line. I decided to stay, because I was hoping it would rain, and people would stay home. Also, there was a Penguins playoff game, so I hoped folks would stay and watch that. However, Pittsburgh crowds love fireworks, and 25,000 people still showed up.
Upon entering the stadium, I got ball #1 rather quickly from coach Ray Searage.
I then noticed several Cardinals playing catch in right field, so I went over.
Kyle McClellan, Mitchell Boggs, and someone else were playing catch, but when they finished, they were having an intense conversation as they walked off the field about different grips, so they ignored my polite request for a baseball.
Game: 5 balls (5 thrown)
Season: 102 balls (61 hit, 21 thrown, 10 device, 11 found)
Games: 14 games
Average: 7.29 balls per game
2010 Game Balls: 3
Career: 680 balls
Streak: 110 consecutive games attended with at least 1 ball snagged.
Attendance: 25,047

Hi Erik,
I'm going to visit PNC in August when the Mets come. Quick question about season tickets..as long as you have a sesaon ticket, can you get access on Friday and Saturday 2 hours before the game, or do they make you show a Season Ticket ID?
Thanks..looking forward to heading out there!
