Report: Saints DT rips Sean Payton ban
Saints defensive tackle Tom Johnson launched a passionate defense of Sean Payton, describing the head coach's league-imposed yearlong ban for his part in the bounty program scandal as "not right."
"We knew there would be some type [of punishment], but not this," Johnson told the Sun Herald.
The Super Bowl-winning coach was suspended by the NFL for the entire 2012 season without pay Wednesday.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suggested Payton's penalty was heightened by his apparent attempts to disguise the practice, in which defensive players received cash bonuses for injuring opponents, when the league made inquiries.
Saints general manager Mickey Loomis also received an eight-game suspension, and assistant head coach Joe Vitt was hit with a six-game ban, while the team was ordered to pay a $500,000 fine and surrender a second-round draft pick in both 2012 and 2013.
Johnson said he was stunned by the scale of Payton's punishment.
TATTLETALEOK, so Vikings punter Chris Kluwe wasn't so tame in his descripton of Warren Sapp for ratting out alleged Saints whistle-blower.
"My agent called [to report the news] when I was getting gas, and I immediately hung up," Johnson said. "Man, he got a whole year. That is hard to believe. I am shocked, and no one on the team was expecting it to be so harsh. I am at a loss for words."
He added, "We didn't think anything like this because of the type of man he is. He is our leader and the man we respect. It is going to be hard to move forward without Sean Payton for any amount of time, especially a year."
The punishments meted out to the Saints amounted to the most severe set of penalties issued by the NFL against one of its teams to date.
Former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams — the brainchild of the controversial bounty scheme, who is now with the Rams — was suspended indefinitely.

SweetwaterŌĆÖs junior var-sity girls basketball team has a perfect 19-0 record entering todayŌĆÖs 5 p.m. game with Big Spring after winning 38-24 at Wylie this past Friday.
Cierra Knox had 14 points to lead Sweetwater (5-0 in district play), which led 16-12 at halftime and outscored Wylie 14-5 in the third quarter to open a 30-17 lead. Abby McPherson scored seven, Shaneese Brown six, Maddie Jones five, Bianca Castillo four and Nisha Williams two.
SweetwaterŌĆÖs girls scored 24 points to win the team title at the season-opening powerlifting meet Thursday in Big Spring, beating out Colorado City (23 points) and Big Spring (22).
The Sweetwater boys also went to Big Spring and fin-ished with 22 points for fourth place. Lake View won the division with 45 points.
The only weight class winner for the Sweetwater girls was Nay Gonzales, who lifted a total of 560 pounds in the 220-pound class.
ABILENE ŌĆö A convincing Sweetwater victory at Snyder on Tuesday, coupled with WylieŌĆÖs surprisingly-narrow win at Greenwood, gave the Mustangs hope they could put up a tough fight here Friday.
But the No. 5 Bulldogs had other ideas.
While Sweetwater jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, Wylie was relentless after gaining the upper hand as it rolled to a 76-25 win.
ABILENE ŌĆö For a half, the Sweetwater girls were competitive against No. 18-ranked Wylie on Friday on the Lady BulldogsŌĆÖ home floor, trailing by just seven (26-19) as they went to the dressing room.
At that point, the Lady MustangsŌĆÖ dream of pulling into a first-place tie with Wylie ŌĆö which actually led by just four points, 23-19, until hitting a 3-pointer just before halftime ŌĆö in District 4-3A seemed possible.
The Highland and Roscoe girls were big winners on the court in District 13-A, Division II basketball action Friday as they won by 54 and 49 points, respectively, against outmatched foes.
The Highland and Roscoe boys, however, lost games by a total of seven points.
Highland 72,

Going a collective 4-2 in district play after totalling just two wins a year ago is a good start. And todayŌĆÖs games at Abilene Wylie will provide yet another barometer for just how much SweetwaterŌĆÖs varsity basketball teams have improved this season.
SweetwaterŌĆÖs girls (3-1 in district) will tie Wylie (4-0) for the lead in District 4-3A if they can upset the Lady Bulldogs, the two-time defending state champions and currently ranked No. 18 in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches poll.
Sweetwater beat Snyder 56-45 Tuesday, while Wylie defeated Greenwood (3-1) 69-43 in its last outing.

Russell Wilson to UW
The Badgers Get A QB
Pete FiutakFollow me ... Follow me to freedom! ...
Wisconsin has some major holes to fill, and it just took care of
its biggest piece.
Former NC State star Russell Wilson might not be the
most popular quarterback in Wisconsin, but until the
NFL figures out what its doing, Aaron Rodgers will
have to share the spotlight.
In one of the more interesting transfers in recent years, Wilson, the former franchise
NC State quarterback, had a choice to leave school and play baseball for the Colorado Rockies farm system or take one more year
to try to make something out of his college football career. One of the best
ACC playmakers over the last few seasons, Wilson threw for 8,545 yards and 76 touchdowns with just 26 interceptions – starting out
with a brilliant 17 TD, one pick freshman campaign –
and also ran for 1,083 yards and 17 scores. As good
as he was for NC State, he had a unique opportunity to go elsewhere as a sort of free agent
who could put a great team over the top. Claiming he wanted to play "big time college football"
- take that, ACC - he was trying to decide between Auburn and Wisconsin
with the ability to step in to a great situation at
either school.
According to various reports, his visit to Wisconsin went about as perfect as possible,
and while he would've put up huge numbers in Gus
Malzahn's Auburn offense, the Badgers are a better
fit for what he's looking for. The Tigers are rebuilding, and while the addition of Wilson might be the difference between a good season and another
special one, he wasn't going to be Cam Newton and
there was no way he'd ever be able to live up to the
lofty, shoe-filling expectations.
Winning the national title is going to be next to impossible
for Auburn this year coming out of the loaded and improved SEC West,
but with the right breaks Wilson could take the
Badgers to the title game. His signing overcomes a
slew of other issues.
From defensive coordinator Dan Doeren – who left to take over the head coaching gig at Northern Illinois – to several key
veteran on the offensive line, to J.J. Watt from the defensive front, to
a few key veterans gone on both sides of the ball, the Badgers
lost several important parts to the team that was
devastating and dominant at times last year.
It's Wisconsin, so the loss of an Outland Trophy blocker like Gabe arimi isn't as painful as it would be at most schools; there are more big, talented offensive linemen ready to step up. Watt's
departure from the defensive front hurts, but the coaching staff appears to have a good plan in place
with several players stepping up this offseason to manufacture more pressure from
various spots.
TThe running game will still be devastating, the
defense will be solid, and the kicking game should
be good, but none of the positives matter for a team with Big Ten title aspirations if the quarterback situation couldn't be settled.
Problem solved. br />
TThe running game will always be what makes the Wisconsin attack go, but Scott Tolzien
was the difference between playing somewhere in
Florida on New Year's Day and going to Pasadena. The
yards might not have been there, but Tolzien was
terrific leading the nation's fourth most efficient passing game and showing his senior leadership time and again – up until the poor two-point conversion attempt in the final moments against TCU. Wilson doesn't have to be Peyton Manning, or Cam Newton, but he can
be more than Tolzien.
All he has to do is hand the ball off, hang out
behind a massive offensive line, and use his
accuracy and decision-making ability to give the
Badgers a balanced attack that can get vertical. He
doesn't have to take the entire offense on his back
with the usual pounding coming from the tremendous
stable of backs.
And now, all of a sudden, Wisconsin is a player. The spring session was disastrous with dual-threat quarterback Curt Phillips getting knocked out for a second straight year with a knee injury, Jon udmayr struggling mightily, and with no one else taking the job by the horns. What was the team's glaring weakness could now be the second biggest strength behind the ground game.
The Leaders is there for the taking with Ohio State weakened and wounded, Penn State looking good, but hardly special, and with Illinois, Indiana, and Purdue all mediocre. The schedule is more than manageable with UNLV, Oregon State, Northern Illinois (played in Chicago), and South Dakota to use as tune-ups before facing Nebraska in Camp Randall. Outside of the trip to Soldier Field, the Badgers don't play a true road game until October 22nd at Michigan State, followed up by a date at Ohio State. Win those two games, and New Orleans on January 9th is in play instead of Pasadena on January 2nd.
And that's where Wilson comes in. He might have regressed a bit last year after pressing too much, throwing 14 picks including three in the loss to East Carolina and three more against Virginia Tech, but he also threw for 362 yards against the Hokies and threw for 322 against the Pirates. He won't have to throw the ball 40 times a game, or 60 times like he did against Maryland, and he won't have to press in the Badger offense. The big lights and the big stage shouldn't faze him with his 36 games of experience to rely on, but he also has to try to fit in. Can he handle being the missing piece rather than the main man?
Wisconsin will be all too happy to find out.

Space Adventures' Orbital Spaceflight Client Charles Simonyi Returns to Earth After Completing Second Mission to the International Space Station
Simonyi Made History as the First Repeat Private Space Explorer
Dr. Simonyi made history by becoming the first private explorer to complete a second mission to space. He previously flew to the ISS in spring 2007 as Space Adventures' fifth orbital client.
"With my second mission, I did much more work, but I was also able to rest and relax. I was physically more prepared and more comfortable given the resources that I brought with me," said
During his stay aboard the space station, Dr. Simonyi focused on educational outreach and research:
- He communicated with hundreds of students via HAM radio signal in cooperation with Amateur Radio on the ISS.
- On behalf of the European Space Agency, Dr. Simonyi performed a series of experiments, including the study of the physical impact of spaceflight on cosmonauts and astronauts through Early Detection of Osteoporosis in Space and the study of the occurrence and development of Low Back Pain during spaceflight.
- Working closely with the Hungarian Space Office and the Russian space agency, Dr. Simonyi measured and monitored radiation on the ISS using a dosimeter. He participated in this experiment on his first mission and the results of the project will be helpful in designing better spacecraft shielding for future crews.
- Dr. Simonyi also used Windows on Earth software, developed by TERC, to assist him in photographing our planet.
Dr. Simonyi shared his experiences daily through his Web site, www.charlesinspace.com. The site features video clips from NASA TV, as well as Dr. Simonyi's audio recordings direct from space. He also blogged while in orbit and answered questions posed by visitors to his site.
Dr. Simonyi's return mission to the ISS is the latest destination in a life defined by exploration and discovery. Born in
Dr. Simonyi earned his Bachelor of Science degree in engineering and mathematics from the
In August of 2002, Dr. Simonyi left Microsoft and founded Intentional Software Corporation, an engineering company focused on improving the way organizations write software. He founded the Charles Simonyi Fund for Arts and Sciences in 2003 to support arts organizations, and science institutions, such as the Institute for Advanced Study in
He is a trained pilot in multi-engine aircraft and instrument flying, currently holding licenses for jets and helicopters, and has logged more than 2,000 hours of flying time. In 2007, he became the fifth private citizen to travel into space.
Dr. Simonyi is married to Lisa Persdotter who worked in asset management and marketing.

To the Wonderdirected by Terrence MalickUptown Theatre, starts Friday
Malick is working faster these days. As Ryan Gosling, appearing in a forthcoming Malick joint, recently told The Playlist, the director is "cutting like five movies right now." Will working faster loosen Malick up, free him to make more mistakes and, possibly, some glorious messes? With To the Wonder, he may be aimlessly dancing around old stereotypes. But he's dancing as fast as he can, and the strain means something. He hasn't made a great movie. At least he's made a human one.

Local package store owners bracing for statewide Sunday liquor sales today say they aren't expecting a big boost in business but feel they must stay open to remain competitive.
Eleven out of 13 package-store personnel contacted last week indicated they would open today during the first day Sunday liquor sales will have been allowed since 1933. One owner with a prior commitment said he would begin a seven-day schedule starting Memorial Day weekend.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed into law this month a bill that made Sunday alcohol sales legal, including the sale of beer at supermarkets. The bill, which overrode decades of Prohibition-era laws and left Indiana the only state still banning Sunday alcohol sales, also allows liquor stores to be open Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day, as well as on Monday holidays after any Fourth of July, Christmas or New Year's Day that falls on a Sunday.
"I have no idea what to expect," said Jeff Pierce, owner of Norwich Wine & Spirits. "I think people might come in for the novelty of it."
Elasa Abarca, sole proprietor of The Wine Merchant in New London, was the only liquor-store owner contacted holding off on Sunday sales.
"It's my only day off," she said. "I don't need to work seven days a week."
Divyesh Patel at Ocean Discount Wine & Spirits in New London, son of owner Ashok Patel, had a similar feeling, but the store will nevertheless be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. today.
"Everybody's open," he said. "It's the competition."
Stores can open between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Sundays, but several establishments are shaving off an hour or two to save on payroll costs or allow owners more time off. Some said Sunday sales was only an experiment and might last only through the summer if sales taper off in the fall.
Package store owners in tourist areas appeared to be more pleased with the Sunday sales law than others in more remote locations.
"We never were against that part of the bill," said Mary Edgerton, co-owner of Universal Package Store in Noank. "With all the BYOB restaurants and five boatyards in the area, we should do well."
"I will get more sales out of it because of my location (near) the (Mohegan Sun) casino," said Patti-Jean Olsen-Fraser, owner of Shantok Package Store in Uncasville. "I think it's a headache, but the time has come. ... I knew this time was coming."
Pamela DiBiagio, co-owner of Bozrah Wine & Spirits, said she was not happy to open on Sunday but will do so "because everyone else is."
She predicted that Saturday nights, which used to be extra busy, may not be quite so crazy anymore. But she didn't expect big sales on Sundays.
"I think it's just going to spread out (sales) over more days," DiBiagio said. "With these tough times, people have only so much to spend."
Joe Kiah, who owns Village Wine & Spirits in Niantic, predicted Sunday sales would add 15 percent to his payroll costs and another 10 percent to energy bills while bringing in only 1 percent to 2 percent more sales.
"People are just going to split their sales between Saturday and Sunday," he said.
Alan Wilensky, owner of Max's Package Store in East Lyme and president of the Connecticut Package Stores Association, said he likely will pick and choose Sundays to be open. Memorial Day to Labor Day weekends, along with the Christmas holidays, New Year's and football playoff dates might do better than the rest of the year, he predicted.
Owners will have to experiment with hours of operation and Sunday openings to figure out what makes the best financial sense, Wilensky said.
"There will be no extra consumption," he said. "There will be a shifting of the business, not an increase in business."
Wilensky predicted state residents will still cross the border to Rhode Island and Massachusetts, which have much lower gas prices and, in the Bay State's case, no sales tax on alcohol.
"The governor could have done as much or more (to boost liquor sales) if he took the sales tax off the table and lowered the gas tax," Wilensky said.

A day after the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) targeted an advertisement campaign being run by a Gujarati daily, the Brihanmumbai Electricity and Transport (BEST) undertaking pulled down 70 banners of the ad (till Saturday evening) it had put up on its buses.
The advertisement by the recently-launched Mumbai edition of the newspaper, Sandesh, is on the contributions made by the Gujarati community to the financial and intellectual development of Mumbai. While MNS felt there was truth in the claim that the community had played a role in the city's financial growth, it objected to the 'intellectual development' part of the campaign. Claiming the campaign was hurting Mumbaikars, the Raj Thackeray-led party asked BEST to remove the banners from its buses and warned that if that was not done, the party itself would do it in 'MNS style'.
Two hundred BEST buses are carrying the advertisement.
"We began the work immediately after BEST committee instructed us to do so. It will take us another day to remove all the banners," said a senior BEST official.
MNS group leader and BEST committee member Sandeep Deshpande, who had raised the issue, welcomed the action. "I had just expressed the sentiments of the common man. It's good to see BEST taking immediate action," Deshpande said.
The MNS took the stand close on the heels of the editorial in Shiv Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana', which targeted the Gujarati community. However, party leaders including president Uddhav Thackeray, later dissociated themselves from the editorial.

Back in February, Subway pledged to stop using Azodicarbonamide, a controversial chemical that it uses to improve elasticity in its bread but that also shows up in things like yoga mats. You won't be doing any downward dogging (that's how yoga people talk, right?) on Subway's bread soon, as the company says it's almost done phasing out the chemical. [More]

UK Subway Sandwich Artist Decides Bread Ovens Work Just As Well At Drying Socks
We're totally fans of subverting everyday objects to serve a need they might not have been designed for — does the name MacGyver ring a bell? — but when you're employed in the food industry, snapping a pic of your wet socks toasting away in the bread ovens at Subway will not get you any kudos for creativity.

Subway Says It's Removing A Controversial Chemical From Its Bread
These days it seems like if there's an ingredient in food sold to the masses with even the slightest whiff of controversy around it, someone will root it out and start a campaign to get rid of it. Thus, Subway now says it will remove a chemical from its bread — one that's banned in Europe but legal in the U.S. — after a food blogger started a petition against it. [More]

At Subway, You Can Have Any Soup As Long As It's Broccoli Cheddar
"Still waiting for the third version to complete this fuel pump trifecta," writes Taylor.

Subway Falafel Sandwich Points Toward Future Of Dry Vegetarian Food On Every Corner

Is This The Farthest Away You Can Get From A Subway In The Continental U.S.?
We've been writing for years about the McFarthest project, an effort to locate the spot in the contiguous 48 states that is the farthest away from a McDonald's.

Subway Employee Admits To Touching Bread With Penis, Says Photo Was Taken At Home
If the Taco Bell taco-licker wasn't enough to put you off fast food for a while, now comes a photo posted by a Subway employee of a man touching a loaf of dough with his penis. But not to worry because the employee says this was done in the privacy of his own home. [More]
Crunchy Chicken Enchilada Melt Filled With Fritos Spotted At… Subway?

Healthy Offerings Or No, Study Says Teens Will Pile On The Fast Food Calories Anyway
For all that Subway markets its lower-calorie, healthy options, it appears adolescents and teens are going to load up with enough food to rival the calorie counts at places like McDonald's, according to a new study.

Subway Crosses Its Heart, Swears To Die: From Now On, All Footlongs Will Indeed Be 12 Inches
Whether it's because of the way bread rises and how it's baked or there's some nefarious conspiracy afoot, perhaps now everyone can simmer down about Subway's Footlongs not always being in fact, a foot long. Subway is telling the world that honest, guys, we never meant to make a sandwich 11 or 11.5 inches, so please believe us and stop being so cranky. Not in so many words, but that's the gist. [More]
Ex-Subway Sandwich Artist On Short Footlongs: You Still Get The Same Amount Of Ingredients
Unless you've been hiding under a gluten-free rock, by now you've heard about Subway customers who are enraged, simply enraged, to the point of suing, that their so-called Footlong sandwiches are measuring only 11 or 11.5 inches. But while some might point to an evil corporate conspiracy at work, one ex-sandwich artist says we should probably relax, as the amount of ingredients in each sandwich should be the same. [More]

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Keane's festival success (the best-received American indie in Toronto, it plays the New York Film Festival October 13 and 14) marks a comeback for Kerrigan after a period of infrequent activity and miserable luck. Following his widely admired debut, Clean, Shaven (1994), an audacious first-person exercise in schizophrenic hallucination, Kerrigan saw his 1998 Cannes entry Claire Dolan languish without U.S. distribution for two years. In 2002, he finished shooting his third feature, In God's Hands, but due to "extensive negative damage," was forced to abandon the project.
Each of Kerrigan's films has focused, with almost frightening tenacity, on a single opaque, obsessive character. If Claire Dolan evoked Jeanne Dielman, Keane suggests Rosetta. Shot in long takes and agitated handheld close-ups, the film plunges the viewer into the personal space of a severely troubled protagonist. Kerrigan, who spent hours rehearsing each setup, says, "Some takes are four minutes long. The magazine was 400 feet, and there's one take in the movie that ran out at 399 feet."
There's an implicit political dimension to Keane, which is set in and around Port Authority and across the Lincoln Tunnel in North Bergen, and doubles as a snapshot of industrialized, minimum-wage America. "We tend to blame the poor for being poor," Kerrigan says. "It's like how we deal with the mentally ill. It's the job of the police to remove them from public sight. Everyone knows that, but it's important to show that there are people who struggle every day, who deserve compassion instead of criticism."
Keane apparently suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, and the film's unnerving precariousness and ambiguity (is it possible the missing child never existed?) arise directly from his mental instability. "A close friend of mine suffers from schizophrenia," says Kerrigan, who has researched mental illness extensively over the years. "Maybe deep down I don't feel that far removed from crossing that line. Mental health is such a fragile entity. We have this expectation that human beings are going to be wired correctly and our nervous systems are going to work. I find it amazing that they do work as well."
Another comeback from an indie stalwart, Gregg Araki's Mysterious Skin at first seems a curious fit: a heartfelt Midwestern repressed-memory coming-of-ager from the master of SoCal snark? But despite its uncharacteristic composure, Araki's jaggedly poetic eighth feature, adapted from Scott Heim's novel, has much in common with the director's best work: "aliens and Slowdive music," as Araki deadpanned at a Toronto press conference, not to mention a strong outsider empathy and a simultaneously brash and complicated take on nascent sexuality and desire.
The film inverts the familiar Amerindie trick of pedophile identification (L.I.E., The Woodsman, Todd Solondz). "You hear about pedophilia in the news all the time, but people are sort of numb to it," Araki says in a phone interview. "This story puts you through the subjective experience of what these boys go through." The most unnerving aspect of the film involves the heightened sexual awareness of one of the boys, who, at eight, is masturbating to his mother's Playgirl and plainly attracted to the baseball coach who goes on to abuse him. That he's hardly a typical victim only reinforces the film's moral point of view.
Few contemporary directors eroticize their actors as unabashedly as Araki, and he delights here in re-inventing former 3rd Rock moppet Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a strutting dicktease. "Joe has some tough scenes for a straight kid," Araki says with a laugh. But working with the two leads' eight-year-old counterparts was uncharted territory. "The film is about deep childhood trauma and the last thing I wanted to do was traumatize a child," says Araki. "A lot of it was like the Kuleshov experiment," he notes, referring to the Soviet-montage concept. "I figured out how to use subjective camera and point of viewonly then did I think I could make an uncompromising adaptation that deals with the tougher parts of the book."
Judging from the Venice and Toronto screenings, Araki says Mysterious Skin is tapping into an unexpected demographic."It seems to bring out a maternal instinct in older women, who I thought would be freaked out. At the Toronto screening, the median age was like 55." He laughs. "Maybe that's the secret audience that's been renting The Doom Generation all these years."

Reed Elsevier PLC proposed full year dividend up by 6% to 26.0 pence. The proposed average full year dividend growth rate is broadly in line with adjusted EPS growth at constant currency rates. The company full year dividends are covered 2.2x by adjusted EPS respectively. The company reported earnings results for the year ended December 31, 2014. For the year, the company reported revenue of GBP 5,773 million compared to GBP 6,035 million a year ago. Adjusted operating profit was GBP 1,739 million compared to GBP 1,749 million a year ago. Reported operating profit was GBP 1,402 million compared to GBP 1,376 million a year ago. Adjusted profit before tax was GBP 1,592 million compared to GBP 1,572 million a year ago. Adjusted net profit was GBP 1,213 million compared to GBP 1,197 million a year ago. Reported net profit was GBP 955 million compared to GBP 1,110 million a year ago. Adjusted earnings per share were 56.3 pence compared to 54.0 pence a year ago. Reported earnings per share were 43.0 pence compared to 48.8 pence a year ago. The improvement in profitability reflects a combination of underlying revenue growth, process innovation and portfolio development. Net debt was GBP 3.5 billion as on 31 December 2014. The tax rate on adjusted profit remained at 23.5%. In terms of cash flow, operating cash flow conversion was well over 90%. Legal CapEx remained at 10% of revenue as the company continue to roll out the new RELX platform. CapEx in STM was at lower than normal due to the projects. Cash interest payments were lower, reflecting lower borrowing costs and the timing of interest payments while cash were in line with accounting charge, giving free cash flow of GBP 1.15 billion, just ahead of 2013. CapEx was actually lower in 2014, but average spend is around GBP 300 million per annum, about 5% of revenue.

JOHOR BARU: Foon Yew High School along Stulang Laut here ceased classes for two days to celebrate its 99th anniversary with fun, food and games.
The school opened its gates to the public and its alumni to participate through out the festivities spread across two days on Aug 10 and Aug 11.
Colouful streamers decorated the school while classrooms were transformed into 'cafes' where desks and chair were covered with tablecloths for people to dine on.
Visitors were amused to find students dressed in blonde wigs, bright costumes and over-the-top make up, part of a Cosplay fashion show during the celebrations.
Accounts executive Loong Sheng Hao, 29, who visited the school with his friends, said he was found the Cosplay costumes quite convincing.
"It was fun trying to identify from which anime show the characters were from," he said.
There were also makeshift stalls selling food and beverages, handicrafts, accessories and game stations at the carnival.
Form three student Jacalyn Tan Ying Xin, who was from the school's Japanese Society, said she specially rented a blue kimono for the occasion.
"I love all things Japan so I decided to dress up in the Japanese traditional attire to join in the festivities," she said, adding that the atmosphere at the school was like a "carnival".
Another student Caroline Lee Jia Le, 18, spent the whole night before the celebrations with two other classmates to make mashed potatoes to be sold at the school bazaar.
"We feel proud that my school is now 99 years old and want to do our part in helping the school raise funds so we decided to sell some food during the fair.
"It was a fun process to peel the potatoes ourselves and learn how to mash them properly as I rarely help out in the kitchen before this," she said with a laugh.
She added that she would surely return to the school's future anniversary celebrations even after she graduates this year.
Besides food and games, there was also a tug-of-war contest, fashion shows, students dressed up in Disney character mascots and pottery classes for students and the public to enjoy.

MALAPPURAM: Calicut University has launched a platform for its alumni of the main and subsidiary campuses. Vice-Chancellor Anwar Jahan Zuberi inaugurated the alumni body named Calicut University Campus Alumni Association (CUCA) at a function on Saturday. Dozens of old students from different parts of the State attended the maiden meeting.
Inaugurating the meeting, Prof. Zuberi sought constructive involvement of the alumni in the development of the university. She described the alumni body, formed on the 40th year of the university's formation, as a forum to re-establish one's identity.
Prof. Zuberi said that the Calicut University Campus Alumni Association could do a lot to address the manpower shortage faced by the university. The Vice-Chancellor lauded the efforts of the CUCA to launch a web site of its own with a link to the university portal.
T.M. Vijayan, president of CUCA, welcomed the gathering. C. Gopinathan Pillai, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, delivered the keynote address.
T.M. Vijayan and N. Aravindan were elected president and secretary respectively of the CUCA. The other office-bearers are Reena Anilkumar and U.V. Rajagopal (vice-presidents); Baby Shari, P.V. Valsaraj and E. Lohitadakshan (joint secretaries); and N. Sreekumar (treasurer).

A petition has sought cancellation of the entertainment tax exemption given to a recent release, 'Maan Karate', as the film does not fulfil the conditions for deserving a concession.
In his petition filed in the Madras High Court, through counsel, P.T. Perumal, the petitioner, I. Jayaseelan, also a stage singer, said the film has a song that 'promotes alcoholism'.
The title of the film is not in Tamil as 'karate' is a Japanese word, the petition said. Even though the primary condition for entertainment tax exemption is not fulfilled, the commercial taxes department had granted tax relief to the film.
The First Bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Satish K. Agnihotri and Justice M.M. Sundresh ordered notice to commercial tax authorities, returnable by April 16.

B. Stille [of Nappy Roots] ft. I-20, Nyche & Renzo - The Soup Kitchen
Artist: B. Stille (of Nappy Roots)
Featuring: I-20
Producer: Trakksounds
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 6 votes )
Call me naïve, but drug-related euphemisms seem to be getting more and more esoteric by the day. Take B. Stille's latest promo single, for example. While the title, "The Soup Kitchen," had me imagining the Nappy Roots member and his collaborators ladling out chicken noodle to hungry denizens of their 'hood, in reality it finds him, "[serving] the block," in a very different fashion. Over Trakksounds' reggae-informed street boardwork, complete with a sampled hook and surf-guitar intro, Buffalo Stille gets, "high as the gas price," and helps those around him do the same. I-20, Nyche and Renzo share their own blunted observations on the use and distribution of narcotics on the guest tip. While this hazy selection isn't attached to any forthcoming project, heads can stay tuned to the Booth for all the latest solo work from the Kentucky mainstay.

A bipartisan group of congressmen condemned comments made by a Palestinian Fatah official in support of the murderer of an Israeli father of five.
The letter sent to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday strongly condemned Fatah's Sultan Abu Al-Einein following his "open support for the murderer of Eviatar Borovsky," and called for him to be removed from office.
Al-Einein called the terrorist an "heroic fighter," according to the letter, which was signed by Reps. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.), Ed Royce (R-Calif.), Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.), Brad Sherman (D-Calif.), and Ted Deutch (D-Fla.).
Al-Einein also stated, "Blessings to the breast that nursed Salam Al-Zaghal," according to the letter.
The congressmen told Abbas that "allowing this type of incitement and hatemongering to take place within your ranks is intolerable if you are truly dedicated to non-violence. We ask that you publicly and officially denounce and condemn Mr. Al-Einein's remarks at once and remove him from his position in your government."
Borovsky, 31, was killed April 29 as he waited for a bus at the Tapuach Junction in the northern West Bank. Al-Zaghal then took Borovsky's gun and began shooting at Border Guard officers.
Earlier this year, the Tapuach Junction checkpoint was closed as part of an easing of restrictions on the Palestinians.

Austin Lipman
An energetic and goalscoring forward, Austin spent time on loan at Boreham Wood last season where he made a positive impression.
The pacy striker, who can also play on either flank, is a product of the Hale End academy and featured for all three academy sides last term. He made his debut for the under-21s and scored three goals in five appearances. The youngster was also part of the Youth League squad and registered a brace against Napoli in a 4-1 win.

Kerik's fall from enforcer to drug war critic
Free after three years in a minimum-security facility, Kerik went on "Today" to discuss not the injustice of his conviction but the injustice of federal mandatory minimum sentences that can put first-time nonviolent offenders away for decades, even life.
"I had no idea that for 5 grams of cocaine, which is what that nickel weighs, 5 grams, you could be sentenced to 10 years in prison," quoth Kerik.
Clearly, Kerik is not a details guy. He got everything in that example wrong except the weight of a nickel. When Kerik pleaded guilty, first-time nonviolent offenders found guilty of possessing 5 grams of crack cocaine in federal court faced a mandatory five years. The same mandatory minimum applied for 100 grams of powdered cocaine. In 2010, Congress changed the law so that 28 grams of crack invite a five-year mandatory minimum. But even if wrong on the details, he's right on the big picture.
As a cop and then commissioner, Kerik said, he was involved in putting some "really bad people" -- violent bad guys -- away for decades, even life, for breaking state law. Still, he was stunned to find himself in federal prison, "housed with men that were doing those same sentences that were there for first-time nonviolent drug offenses." He continued: "I didn't know that could happen. I didn't know that you could be sentenced to 25 years to life for a first-time nonviolent drug conviction."
Eric Sterling of the Criminal Justice Policy Foundation observed that it's not unusual for white-collar criminals to emerge from federal prison enraged at not their own situation but the warehousing of nonviolent drug offenders. "It is the massive scale of this that is so moving to people."
In a speech to the American Bar Association in August, Attorney General Eric Holder said, "Too many Americans go to too many prisons for far too long and for no truly good law enforcement reason." Yet the Obama administration has failed to lead the way in reforming federal sentencing.
When "Meet the Press" host David Gregory asked Obama adviser David Axelrod about Kerik's bold statement, Axelrod credited Sen. Rand Paul and other Republicans before adding Obama's name. When Axelrod wants to share the credit, that's not a good sign.
"Legislators should heed his message because there's nothing in it for Kerik," Julie Stewart of Families Against Mandatory Minimums argued. "He is simply shining a spotlight on a dark hole that policymakers never look into."
Until, that is, they fall from grace. And then they see too much.

Who can forget their first pair of basketball sneakers?
Whether you laced up some old school Nikes or were one of the lucky few whose parents sprung for a pair of Jordans, there was nothing like the fresh smell of leather when you pulled a new set of kicks out of the box. We all have our own personal favorites, but some sneakers have left an impact not just on the folks that wore them, but on a shared culture of sports and fashion.
Iconic shoes have been around for nearly a century. Many have not been worn in an actual organized basketball game in decades, but can still be recognized by one-word names: Chucks, Clydes, Weapons, Uptowns, Jordans, Superstars, Pumps. The list goes on and on, and settling on just a handful for one short list was not easy. Even so, we got a "kick" out of it.

Pete made consecutive finals at US open in 30s but Roger had to fight on slow surface and still he was on match points on either times against Novak Djokovic when he lost in 2010 and 2011.
People were complaining when just ONE surface appeared fast, well, am talking about Madrid blue clay. However no one has issues with ALL the surfaces being slowed down. They have slowed down all the surfaces and took away weapons from attacking players. Still Roger is doing good. Sadly that point is lost .
Childish taunting aside, I don't think any one doesn't seriously admire what Fed has been able to do. His longevity and his ability to fight back to get the no 1 ranking are remarkable. I am almost certain the other guys will have a much sharper decline than Fed and I can't see any scenario where Feds records are broken.
That being said , I think the surface argument is both true and false . The lack o faster surfaces may have benefitted djoko/Nadal/Murray the most but it has also benefited Fed. Simply because it has prevented the development of attacking 1st strike players who can cause upsets. And it has put an emphasis on stamina which a lot of young players don't develop until later.
I'm totally in favor of more variety and speeding up the USo etc I'm just not a huge fan of 'some fans' using the age/surface excuse all the time to discredit opponent wins.

There is an intimate relationship between posture, working distance, desk surface and lenses. Pioneering experiments by Dr. Darrel Boyd Harmon and subsequent research by Drs. John Pierce and Steven Greenspan clearly prove a reduction of stress and improved performance when conditions are arranged properly for near-point visual activities. The following changes were observed: reduced heart rate, more regular and deeper breathing, and reduced neck muscle and overall body tension.
To achieve these benefits the following must be arranged:
Working Surface: A sloping working surface must be used that is tilted between 20 and 23 degrees from the horizontal.
Posture: Seated comfortably, relatively erect, feet flat on floor or box.
Working Distance: The "Harmon Distance" is the optimal distance from the eyes to the working surface. It is the distance from the elbow to the first knuckle. This can only be assured with a proper chair height to desk relationship.
Nearpoint Lenses: A specific, low power prescription not used to correct a defect in the eyes but to put the eyes into better balance for near tasks. This enhances and integrates the posture, working distance, and surface relationship.
Instructions for Visual Hygiene
1. Do all near point activity at HARMON distance or slightly further. This is the distance from the center of the middle knuckle to the center of the elbow measured on the outside of the arm. Working at the Harmon distance reduces near point visual stress.
2. Be AWARE of space between self and the page when reading. Also, be aware of things around and beyond the book.
3. When reading, occasionally look off at a specific distant object and LET its details come into focus. Maintain awareness of other objects and details surrounding it. Do this at least at the end of each page.
4. When studying, place a bookmark 3 or 4 pages ahead. Get up and move around for at least one minute each time you reach the bookmark.
5. Sit UPRIGHT. Practice holding your back arched while you read and write. Avoid reading while lying on your stomach on the floor. Avoid reading in bed while lying on your stomach on the floor. Avoid reading in bed, unless sitting reasonably upright.
6. Provide for adequate general illumination, as well as good central illumination, at the near task. The illumination on the task should be about three times that of the surrounding background.
7. Tilt the book up about 20 degrees (this slopes up about 4 inches in 12). A tilt top for the desk can be made by screwing two door stops to the back of a piece of 1/2 inch plywood or a drawing board, and two rubber knobs to the near end so it doesn't slip off the desk. This can be used for reading, studying, writing. It usually enables working farther away from the task than when the task is flat on the desk.
8. Do not sit any closer to TV than 6 to 8 feet, and be sure to sit upright. Maintain good posture.
