Book Description HTML | Report this book
I see the blackness in its face, I see the blackness and I can't stop...there is nothing...I can't stop...please make me blind. It is said that fear makes us do the most terrible things. But what if it is all those terrible things we do, that create fear? The Circle has no end and there are the unfortunate ones that have to enter it, to give the form to our fear, to continue the legacy of The Faceless Man. Yet, ever worse a fate awaits those who mark their existence with acts of unreasonable cruelty. And if you are one of those who crossed the line where the logic ends, who breaks without reason, The Faceless Man would feel, The Faceless Man would find and the scream would follow.

Apparently she's been quizzing Charlize Theron—mom of one-year-old Jackson Theron—about the process of adoption since mutual friend Chelsea Handler connected the two. Advertisement Aniston's still unsure of the route she'll take to motherhood, says a source (I always picture our friend Source as professional doorway lurker O'Brien from Downton Abbey, don't you?):"She's seriously considering [adoption] as an option, given her age and the fact that Charlize says it's the most rewarding thing she's ever done. But she hasn't decided entirely, with surrogacy another possibility for Jennifer because she definitely does want to have kids. However, at the moment she's just concentrating on her wedding to Justin. After that, she will decide what to do next."Whether it's sliding out of you, falling from the sky or being plucked off a tree, I support you, Jennifer. [Radar Online] YES! Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman, who devastated me/you/my cat/America when they announced their split in October after 30 years of marriage, are TRYING AGAIN. In other words, love has just peeled itself off the tarmac and taken flight. Advertisement "Danny kind of took Rhea for granted for a few years and their marriage went stale because of that.Danny has been moving heaven and earth to win Rhea back – and it has worked," a source close to the couple tells Radar.He pampered her with spa treatments, took her out for expensive dinners and made sure she felt special again.Danny hasn't got a better friend on this planet than Rhea. They are the perfect couple, share the same playful sense of humor and were made for each other."I have something in my eye, like a, hang on. [Radar Online] Nicki Minaj, Elle's April cover girl, received something they're generously calling a "makeunder" (although it's not exactly like she just rolled out of bed with that lipliner on), and tells you to be Like A Boss, always, all the time. Advertisement Sponsored "My advice to women in general: Even if you're doing a nine-to-five job, treat yourself like a boss. Not arrogant, but be sure of what you want - and don't allow people to run anything for you without your knowledge. You want everyone to know, Okay, I can't play games with her.

[NYDN, image via Elle] Advertisement Nicki also bugged out on American Idol after her favorite contestant, Curtis Finch Jr., was eliminated. [Daily Mail] Nobody's more distraught by the possible Miley Cyrus/Liam Hemsworth split than her parents, Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus. They're worried about Miley being single during this rebellious, partying phase of hers. "They know Liam's a good influence on her, he's very stable [and] extremely disciplined. Without him around to keep her on track who knows how wild she could get." What about the positive influence of her best friend Leslie? She's just being Miley, guize!Related: judging by that picture, she and Justin Bieber have fused together to become one major sizzurp-sipping l'enfant terrible. [Entertainmentwise] Women in New York and Long Island are taking their Kate Middleton emulation a step or two further than buying the same $55 Topshop dress: they're bringing photos of the princess to rhinoplasty offices in droves and requesting the same schnoz as the Dutchess of Cambridge. Advertisement Advertisement Says a 22-year-old NYU student: "When I saw Kate's nose, I just knew it was the perfect nose for me. Other celebrities had parts of their noses that I wanted, but Kate's nose had it all. The bridge swoops. The tip doesn't fall when she smiles. And it's feminine." Can Kate Middleton's Nose Have It All? Let's write a bunch of trend pieces about it.No but seriously, everything about this is fucked up.

He told TMZ: "My post was only up for a few minutes but I realized right away that what I said at the end was wrong and distracted from what I was trying to say.

"The Vampire" is a reworking of "Shadow of Death" from Tomb of Terror #7 (Jan '53), which was reproduced at tHoIA.
Also at Karswell's 'blog, "The Last Word" from Tomb of Terror #2 (Jul '52), which was the source for "Horror in Wood".

That splash is all Fraga. He banged 'em out pretty fast by this time. This exact story was drawn by him AGAIN with the year! (I don't recall if this one is first or second, but there's a sidebar in the book about it...)

Thanks, Mike. You would know better than I. Even though it's all Fraga, doesn't that woman in the splash look like Casadei or am I nuts?
In your great book, I couldn't be sure which Fraga Vampire was the story here. WT Vol5 No5 (this issue) wasn't listed as a source in any of the index listing. Of course, the eyes aren't what they used to be. Maybe I missed. I thought perhaps I had an un-indexed story or story version.

JACKSON — A family physician tells lawmakers that expanding Medicaid would help thousands of "working poor" Mississippians who don't receive health insurance coverage through their jobs.
Dr. Tim Alford of Kosciusko says this includes cashiers, clerks, truck drivers, pulpwood haulers and others.
Alford told a Senate panel Tuesday that uninsured people often go without primary care, and diseases such as diabetes escalate to dangerous levels.
Senators also heard from uninsured residents, including Jackson child care worker Rene Trevilion. The 42-year-old says she has had chronic, severe back pain since giving birth to her youngest child 12 years ago. She says she can't afford therapy to improve her condition.
Republican Gov. Phil Bryant says Mississippi can't afford Medicaid expansion, even with the federal government paying most of the cost.

Credit Rating Agencies in Capital Markets: A Review of Research Evidence on Selected Criticisms of the Agencies
Carol Ann Frost
University of North Texas
March 15, 2006
This study assesses the validity of widespread criticisms of the large, nationally recognized credit rating agencies (CRAs). The criticisms focus on these CRAs' (1) disclosure practices (such as related to the assumptions underlying their ratings decisions); (2) potential conflicts of interest; (3) alleged anticompetitive or unfair practices; and (4) diligence and competence. This paper focuses on two questions. First, to what extent does empirical evidence support the criticisms? Second, what additional evidence might be useful?
Although little rigorously-gathered empirical evidence supports the criticisms, the absence of such evidence does not indicate that the criticisms are invalid. First, powerful tests related to potential conflicts of interest and alleged unfair practices are exceptionally difficult to design. Second, criticisms related to the adequacy of CRAs' disclosure practices have not yet been, but could be, investigated by empirical researchers. Third, many criticisms, particularly those focusing on the adequacy of CRAs' disclosure practices, diligence, and competence, are based on subjective benchmarks that are difficult to quantify (and that themselves are open to question).
Empirical evidence does support the view that the large CRAs' dual roles of (1) providing timely information to market participants; and (2) serving regulatory and contracting functions, create conflicting incentives. Note, however, that the costs of these conflicts may be less than those of other alternatives. Researchers should further investigate how conflicting incentives affect CRA practice, and develop and test models of how CRAs optimize across their conflicting rating goals. Researchers have many other opportunities to make important contributions. For example, further study of factors that influence characteristics of credit ratings, such as timeliness, stability, and accuracy, is warranted.

Aftermath: The Dion Phaneuf Trade
Steve Dangle
July 13 2012 12:28PM
Earlier this week it was reported that Niklas Hagman had signed a deal to play in the Kontinental Hockey League. I couldn't help but think to myself, "LOL, Nik Hagman. I remember that guy." After that, I thought two more things:
- Did I really just say "LOL" in my head?
- Wasn't he part of the Phaneuf trade?
And that was the thing. I actually half-forgot Niklas Hagman was in the trade that brought the Leafs Dion Phaneuf. As a matter of fact, who the hell was even in that trade? It was almost 30 months ago. That's almost two and a half years – January 31st, 2010!
Let's take a stroll down memory lane, and play a little "Where are they now?" with the Dion Phaneuf trade.
Who the Flames Got:
Niklas Hagman
Hagman was a Cliff Fletcher 2.0 signing by the Leafs over four years ago in the summer of 2009. In fact, he has the honoured distinction of signing a contract with Toronto on the exact same day as Jeff Finger. After a respectable first season with the Leafs (22G, 20A in 65 GP), Hagman had already earned himself another 20-goal campaign before being traded to Calgary after 55 games. His production dropped from 0.6 to 0.4 points per game, and he registered just five goals on a Flames team desperate for offence. The next season in 2010-11, he failed to score at least 20 goals for the first time in three seasons, and posted his worst goal and point totals since 2005-06 with Dallas. After just eight games in 2011-12, and being waived by Calgary for the third time, that was it for Hagman as a Flame. Anaheim claimed Hagman off of re-entry waivers, and Calgary lost one of the four assets they acquired from Toronto in the Phaneuf deal for nothing in return.
Jamal Mayers
Another "Trader Cliff" acquisition, the Maple Leafs acquired Mayers from the St. Louis Blues just prior to the 2008 Entry Draft for a third round pick. Don't feel too bad, because it was the same third round pick the Leafs got in exchange for Chad Kilger, who ended up never even playing a game for Florida. After being dealt to the Flames, Mayers contributed one goal, five assists and six points in 27 games, then left Calgary for unrestricted free agency. Once again, Calgary got nothing in return for one of the players they traded for in the Phaneuf deal.
Ian White
A Leafs fan favourite, Ian White made it to the NHL the good old fashioned way: Hard work. After sitting for almost ten games as a healthy scratch, the defenceman was inserted into the lineup as a winger and ended up scoring a goal. He eventually earned himself a permanent spot on the Leafs' blueline and became one of their better defenceman; granted their defence was even more terrible then than it is now. White turned out to be a decent acquisition for Calgary, and filled in well for a Flames team that was now sans Phaneuf. The problem? The next season he was traded after just 16 games. The trade was Ian White and Brett Sutter to Carolina in exchange for Anton Babchuk and Tom Kostopoulos. Once again, the Flames were without a player they acquired in the Phaneuf trade, however at least this time they were able to flip him for other assets. Just Calgary's luck though, after signing Babchuk to a two-year contract extension last summer, he played just 23 games this past season due to injury. As for Kostopoulos, he is currently an unrestricted free agent.
Matt Stajan
Once upon a time, Stajan was the golden boy of Toronto. A second round pick with promise, Stajan was burdened with being Toronto's future at center after the departure of Mats Sundin (I don't wanna talk about it). Despite relatively decent production, somebody in the Leafs' management decided "Holy crap this is the guy we're playing with Phil Kessel? Peace!" and dealt him to Calgary. Darryl Sutter must have really liked what he saw, because he signed Stajan to a four-year contract extension with a $3.5 million cap hit. After putting up a disappointing 31 points in 76 games in 2010-11, Stajan put up a career low 18 points in 61 games in an absolutely snake-bitten 2011-12 campaign (unless you count the one goal he scored in the one game he played in 2002-03). Guess what? Stajan is the only guy the Flames have left from the Phaneuf deal! Sorry Jay Feaster, but Darryl Sutter was a brutal GM in Calgary before it was cool. "I'm going to go win a Cup with the Kings. Enjoy Matt Stajan. Sincerely, Darryl."
Is Matt Stajan going to stay a Flame? Despite his $3.5 million cap hit, Stajan made $4.5 million in each of his first two full seasons with Calgary. This means his salary for the final two years of his deal will pay him $2.5 million instead, and perhaps make him a bit more easy to deal. The question is, who's saying "I need me some Matt Stajan!"
Who the Leafs Got:
Fredrik Sjostrom
The speedy swede and former first round pick might have been the strangest part of this trade. It has been said that the final shove that got this deal done was the Leafs including Mayers and the Flames including Sjostrom. I don't understand the logic there. I can't see Brian Burke going, "Darryl, I want you to give me the former crown jewel prospect of your franchise so he can come and become the captain of my team, but I'm not letting that happen until you agree to swap borderline fourth-liners." Looking at Sjostrom for Mayers straight up, the Leafs win (not that it matters). Sjostrom played 85 games in just over a season with Toronto, while Mayers played just 27 games in an unsuccessful playoff push.
Keith Aulie
There was a time where it looked like Keith Aulie would become the best player in the Dion Phaneuf trade. The hulking defenceman impressed in his rookie campaign with the Leafs, showing defensive progress while drilling opponents in the process. Remember that time he tagged Scott Hartnell?
Then things took a turn for Aulie. After a less than stellar exhibition season, Aulie failed to make the 2011-12 Leafs roster out of camp. To make matters worse, he looked like a middle-of-the-pack defenceman on the AHL's Toronto Marlies, too. After just 17 games at the NHL level in 2011-12, Aulie was dealt to the Tampa Bay Lightning for the 29th overall pick in 2009, Carter Ashton. Maybe Aulie fit in a little better with the the defensively struggling Lightning (not that the Leafs were a brick wall), as Aulie played 19 games with Tampa Bay to end the season, followed by a Calder Cup-winning run with the AHL's Norfolk Admirals, ironically defeating the Leafs' Toronto Marlies in the final. Despite losing Aulie, the Leafs acquired a former first round pick in Ashton, and a prospect two years younger than Aulie. Unlike Hagman or Mayers, the Leafs were able to flip an asset for another asset, and more importantly, one that could be a part of their future.
Dion Phaneuf
Since they call it "the Dion Phaneuf trade," the Leafs' success in this deal hinges on his performance, unless Carter Ashton turns into a stud. Phaneuf's start in Toronto saw him struggle to generate offence, but a few big hits and some fights later, fans were still titillated by the high-octane defenceman. During the offseason that followed the trade, the Leafs named Phaneuf their first captain since Mats Sundin's departure (still don't wanna talk about it). A combination of a continued lack of offence and a freak injury that saw Phaneuf suffer a deep laceration to his leg from a skate, and the infection that followed, plagued his inaugural season as the Leafs' leader. Whether is was a full recovery from his injury several months later, or a change of scenery with Tomas Kaberle leaving town for the Boston Bruins, Phaneuf, along with the rest of the team, caught fire in an unlikely playoff push that ultimately came up short.
Last year in 2011-12, Phaneuf enjoyed a full 82-game season, scoring 12 goals and 32 assists for 44 points. His offence was back. The issue: Defence. Miscalculated pinches, getting beat wide, and lost battles in front of the net haunted Phaneuf on a team that, as pretty much always, can't seem to keep the puck out of the net. Can new head coach Randy Carlyle fix that? Well see.
So who won the trade? I think I've made my opinion pretty obvious. Ian White, Matt Stajan, Jamal Mayers, and Niklas Hagman scored a combined 41 goals in 340 games in Calgary. That's 0.12 goals per game. Matt Stajan, the most productive of all four former Leafs traded to the Flames in that deal, and the only one of them who's left, has 17 goals in 164 games in Calgary. The most hilarious stat in there is Dion Phaneuf has more goals than any of the four guys dealt to the Flames with 22.
Does this mean the Leafs are the runaway winners? Not really. They still haven't made the playoffs with Phaneuf, and despite his much-improved production, he still has some pretty glaring weaknesses for a defenceman with a $6.5 million cap hit through the 2013-14 season. Then again, what would Matt Stajan be in Toronto except for another center getting a crazy amount of criticism for a role he was forced into and probably shouldn't be in anyway? The Leafs already have Tyler Bozak for that, and they got him as a free agent. Again – asset management.
It's hockey. You just never know. Maybe after a crazy, breakout 100-goal campaign, this will be known as the Matt Stajan trade.
After reading some of the hilarious comments on this blog and talking to @Kent_Wilson and @ACatNamedFelix on Twitter, I realized I neglected to mentioned the Leafs actually freed up a roster spot with this deal. They ditched four (extremely expendable) contracts in exchange for three, so if you want to split hairs, the Leafs got Phaneuf, Ashton, and a free agent signing in that deal. Then again, that roster spot may have been used for Brett Lebda or Colby Armstrong, so, uh... never mind.
July 13 2012, 01:35PM
Be honest, you were thinking: "I wonder how big his forehead actually is?"
July 13 2012, 06:12PM
"Does this mean the Leafs are the runaway winners?"
Yes. Yes it does. Phaneuf and Ashton for Stajan and Babchuk is essentially how it breaks down in the end. Stajan and Babchuk total $6 million in cap hits; almost as much as Phaneuf's. It's been said that the Flames would have been better off trading Phaneuf and Aulie for nothing because of the negative value of the contracts they now have (and because Stajan and Babchuk have been terrible in Calgary). That's brutal.
Leafs win.
You missed the other aspect of the Phaneuf (almost 3 way) trade. On the same day, the Leafs traded Toskala+ Blake for Giguere. Toskala never played for Ducks as he was in "transit" to Calgary who were near the cap ceiling and wanted to save salary and have some cap cushion. And so the flames completed the 3 way trade (Toskala for McElhinney) on the last day of the trade deadline March 3, 2010.
In Calgary, Toskala put up a respectable SV% and later Toskala declined to sign the flames offer for a backup role in favour of holding out for a starting NHL role. Calgary came up empty handed as Toskala disappeared into the SEL while McElhinney continued as a serviceable backup goalie.
Great article, lacked Elisha Cuthbert mention/photos
One extra detail to add: Hagman, after being claimed off of re-entry waivers this past season, scored the game-winning shootout goal (8th round) against the Flames that helped give Anaheim a crucial win and put his former team that much further away from the playoff cut line. He was still on the Flames payroll at the time. (insert laugh track here)
Every Toronto GM should just have a red telephone on his (or her, it could happen) desk that goes straight to the Calgary GM. If things start going poorly, just call up the Flames and swing a deal to send today's Leeman over for whatever Flame is playing like Gilmour.
Oh, and don't forget, Sutter gave Stajan a modified NTC. If he wasn't hard enough to trade already...
"Does this mean the Leafs are the runaway winners?"
Yes. Yes it does. Phaneuf and Ashton for Stajan and Babchuk is essentially how it breaks down in the end. Stajan and Babchuk total $6 million in cap hits; almost as much as Phaneuf's. It's been said that the Flames would have been better off trading Phaneuf and Aulie for nothing because of the negative value of the contracts they now have (and because Stajan and Babchuk have been terrible in Calgary). That's brutal.
Leafs win.
Enjoy Dion Phaneuf. Worst $6.5 spent in hockey today. Whatever it took to get rid of him was worth it. I'd take Stajan over Phaneuf any day. You can't win with him on your team. You can hide Matty on the 4th line. Your stuck with Dion playing tough minutes and losing every battle. He's just terrible. Terrible. Sometimes there is no winner.

Allocating Business Profits for Tax Purposes: A Proposal to Adopt a Formulary Profit Split

The current system of taxing the income of multinational firms in the United States is flawed across multiple dimensions. The system provides an artificial tax incentive to earn income in low-tax countries, rewards aggressive tax planning, and is not compatible with any common metrics of efficiency. The U.S. system is also notoriously complex; observers are nearly unanimous in lamenting the heavy compliance burdens and the impracticality of coherent enforcement. Further, despite a corporate tax rate one standard deviation above that of other OECD countries, the U.S. corporate tax system raises relatively little revenue, due in part to the shifting of income outside the U.S. tax base. In this proposal, we advocate moving to a system of formulary apportionment for taxing the corporate income of multinational firms. Under our proposal, the U.S. tax base for multinational corporations would be calculated based on a fraction of their worldwide incomes. This fraction would be the sum of (1) a fixed return on their expenses in the United States and (2) the share of their worldwide sales that occur in the United States. This system is similar in significant respects to the current "residual profit split" method of the U.S. transfer pricing regulations and the OECD Guidelines, as well as to the current method that U.S. states use to allocate national income across states.

Title: Between Shades of Gray
Author: Ruta Sepetys
Details: Hardcover, 338 pgs.
Published: March 22nd, 2011 by Philomel Books (Penguin)
Lina is just like any other fifteen-year-old Lithuanian girl in 1941. She paints, she draws, she gets crushes on boys. Until one night when Soviet officers barge into her home, tearing her family from the comfortable life they've known. Separated from her father, forced onto a crowded and dirty train car, Lina, her mother, and her young brother slowly make their way north, crossing the Arctic Circle, to a work camp in the coldest reaches of Siberia. Here they are forced, under Stalin's orders, to dig for beets and fight for their lives under the cruelest of conditions.
Lina finds solace in her art, meticulously—and at great risk—documenting events by drawing, hoping these messages will make their way to her father's prison camp to let him know they are still alive. It is a long and harrowing journey, spanning years and covering 6,500 miles, but it is through incredible strength, love, and hope that Lina ultimately survives. Between Shades of Gray is a novel that will steal your breath and capture your heart.
Between Shades of Gray is a novel that will steal your breath and capture your heart.
That says it so well. I finished the book yesterday and when I think back I find myself with tears in my eyes and a catch in my throat. This isn't just another World War II book. This isn't about Hitler and his rein of terror, but it's just as horrific. And this is stuff that we didn't learn about in school (at least most schools). This is the untold story of some of the horrific things that Stalin did. And I think knowing that this is not a terribly well known thing made the story touch me even more. Knowing that those people went through all that and then the ones that survived couldn't even tell the world of the horrors they suffered.
This book was full of pain and heartache and suffering, but it was full of incredible strength and determination. Of bravery, and love and compassion. This book had it all. It even had romance, though it didn't get much of a chance to play out, we felt it and saw it and knew how they felt about each other.
The first half of the book was excellent but it was the second half that really got to me. That really had me crying. Especially toward the end. I can't even imagine! The things these people went through, it's really stuff of our nightmares. And it really happened!
I could probably go on, but really all you need to know is this~ get this book, and read it!

Virgin Blue Flying High After a Year of Operation
Virgin Blue Airlines, Australia's only low fare carrier, took to Australian skies 12 months ago today, introducing Australian travellers to sustainable low fare air travel and challenging the long standing "fat cats" airline duopoly.
After a year of fending off fierce competition, a record low Aussie dollar and high jet fuel prices, Virgin Blue has positioned itself as a profitable long term player in the domestic market, flying in the face of those who predicted the airline would never get off the ground.
Not one to miss a good party, Chairman, Richard Branson, arrived in Australia today to join his Virgin Blue team members in celebrating the milestone at a traditional aviation "hangar party" this evening.
Richard Branson said, "This time last year we probably took the greatest risk in Virgin Group history, launching Virgin Blue in an aggressive, unpredictable market and committing ourselves to $1.1 billion of new aircraft. There were so called industry experts who said Blue wouldn't get off the ground, then they said it wouldn't last….those people underestimated the power of the travelling public who were fed up with being ripped off.
It is clear to us today that we made the right decision breaking in to the previously uncompetitive domestic market and that is reflected in both an over 30% passenger increase on the routes we fly*, as well as Qantas's leaner financial results."
Virgin Blue posted a modest $500,000 trading profit in its first 7 months of operation, giving the airline confidence to move on to the highly competitive Sydney-Melbourne route but more importantly, proving the desperate need for a low fare airline throughout Australia.
Virgin Blue launched at 9.10am on Thursday August 31 last year, with one aircraft and one route (Brisbane-Sydney). The airline now operates 9 aircraft on 9 routes around Australia and is growing at a steady pace, today announcing plans to begin direct services between its home base Brisbane and Darwin in 2002.
The airline initially launched just before the Sydney Olympic Games period as a leisure service and is now positioning itself as a business product, with increasing routes and frequencies and an on-time performance priority.
Brett Godfrey, Virgin Blue Chief Executive said, "12 months ago the entire team shared a clear vision, and they've risen to the challenge to make the vision a successful reality. We've helped make air travel more affordable and more enjoyable and I am confident the next 12 months will be even more successful."
Richard Branson will arrive in Brisbane later this evening.
"I vaguely remember last year's great launch party and I have no doubt tonight's celebration will be just as memorable", he laughed.
Since August 31 2000 until end of August 2001, Virgin Blue has flown a total of 13,083 flights, the equivalent of flying 340 times around the world.
Virgin Blue operates the most modern, technologically advanced aircraft in Australia today, with an average age of less than 5 years, compared with Ansett's average fleet age of 11.7 years and Qantas with an average fleet age of 10.8 years. (Salomon Smith Barney 2001 Fleet handbook)

Officials say it's too early to say what effect Simpson's death will have on America's Cup races.
SAN FRANCISCO – Artemis Racing CEO and veteran American sailor Paul Cayard warned that the new class of super-charged yachts slated for this year's America's Cup were prone to capsizing.
"It will be a miracle if we get through the summer without it happening to somebody," Cayard told Wired Magazine in a story posted online Thursday. "We're going to start pushing harder, we are going to race, and those kinds of boats — catamarans — tip over."
Little did he know it would have deadly consequences.
On Thursday afternoon during a training run in San Francisco Bay, Swedish-owned Artemis lost one of its own.
Andrew "Bart" Simpson, a two-time Olympic medalist, was killed when he was trapped underwater for more than 10 minutes when the vessel capsized. Efforts to revive Simpson, 36, were unsuccessful, and he was pronounced dead a short time later. Like all crewmen, Simpson was carrying an oxygen canister but it was unclear if he was able to use it.
Details are still emerging, but according to race officials, the AC72 class of catamaran "nosedived" and then broke into pieces during a difficult but not unusual sailing maneuver.
Officials said winds were blowing between 15 and 20 knots (17 to 23 mph) when the boat tipped over, far less than when Oracle's $10 million boat capsized in 25-knot winds in October, and strong tides swept it four miles past the Golden Gate Bridge.
"It wasn't an extreme day yesterday," said America's Cup Regatta Director Iain Murray during a Friday press conference at the America's Cup headquarters in San Francisco.
Artemis was practicing with the Team Oracle USA boat.
Murray said Simpson, a strategist for the Swedish team, was on the windward side of the yacht and appeared to get trapped under solid sections of the boat.
"Of course we need to look at what happened and understand the consequences," Murray said. "We take the safety of our sport very seriously and we respect the ocean at all times," he added.
Another sailor, identified as Craig Monk of New Zealand, received minor injuries in the incident.
The fatal accident is likely to bring into focus the debate about the speedy and risky multi-hull class of yachts. The catamarans can travel up to 40 knots (46 mph) and sailors typically don helmets and other protective gear due to the speed and dangers involved.
Stephen Barclay, CEO of the America's Cup Event Authority, said officials would conduct an investigation into Thursday's accident. Officials said all training for the America's Cup has been suspended until at least Monday.
Barclay said it was too early to say what effect Simpson's death would have on the America's Cup races, which run from July to September.
"Nothing is off the table," he said.
Murray will oversee the investigation as he did when the Team Oracle boat capsized and splintered seven months ago. No one was injured, but the rough waters destroyed the 131-foot wing sail. An investigation found that high winds combined with an ebb tide created unusually rough sea conditions. The boat capsized on the team's eighth day of sailing.
Artemis is one of three teams entered in the Louis Vuitton Cup, the series of races that will begin in July and determine the challenger that will face the defender, Oracle Team USA, in the America's Cup in September. The others are Luna Rossa of Italy and Team New Zealand.
Traditionally contested in slower monohull yachts, that shifted in 2010 when Team Oracle owner Larry Ellison and the Golden Gate Yacht Club won the Cup back using a sophisticated multi-hull craft employing a winged mainsail.
As defender, the team elected to use 72-foot catamarans with the same sail technology, which allows the boat to skim across the water.
During Friday's press conference, Murray and Barclay were peppered with questions about the balance between creating a daring, fan-friendly spectacle versus safety aboard the AC72s.
"These boats are fast," said Barclay. "We all know that."
Michael Rogers, captain of Adventure Cat, a sailing catamaran charter company in San Francisco, said the America's Cup sailors were top-flight and that the conditions in the bay yesterday were "average."
"It seems that it was a structural issue," the 25-year sailing veteran said.
Rogers said even his largest 65-foot catamarans move nothing like the America's Cup class of yachts.
"We're like a minibus as opposed to a Formula 1 race cars," he noted.
Tributes and condolences poured in from across the sporting landscape for Simpson, who is survived by his wife, Leah, and two children.
The British Olympic Association called Simpson a "treasured and accomplished member" of its teams.
Sir Ben Ainslie, the four-time Olympic gold medalist and helmsman for the Oracle team, grew up competing with Simpson.
"This is such a tragedy," he said in a statement. "Andrew was such a wonderful husband, father, friend and one of the nicest people you would ever meet. The only solace I can find is that he died doing something which he loved. I have such fond memories of growing up sailing together as kids and then as adults. I will miss him so much. My thoughts and prayers are with Leah, their two boys and their family."
It was the second time a sailor has died during training for the America's Cup, the longest-running major international sporting event. In 1999, Martin Wizner of the Spanish Challenge died almost instantly when he was hit in the head by a broken piece of equipment.
No deaths have been recorded during the actual racing since its inception in 1851.
Simpson and his partner Iain Percy won an Olympic gold medal for Britain in 2008 in the Star class of sailing. The duo was expected to repeat in London in 2012 but was upset by a Swedish team and settled for silver.
Artemis Racing has had its share of upheaval in the buildup to the 34th America's Cup. Late last year, skipper Terry Hutchinson of Annapolis, Md., was released. He was replaced by Nathan Outteridge of Australia, who won a gold medal at the London Olympics. Officials said Outteridge was at the helm during Thursday's accident.
The team has had technical problems, as well. Last fall, Artemis said the front beam of its AC72 catamaran was damaged during structural tests, delaying the boat's christening. A year ago, Artemis' AC72 wing sail sustained serious damage while it was being tested on a modified trimaran in Valencia, Spain.
While early speculation is centered on whether the problem was with the boat itself, either faulty engineering or faulty construction, Barclay cautioned that too little was known to make any assumptions.
Four-time America's Cup winner Dennis Conner of the USA, reached by phone in San Diego, called it "tragic" but would not say if the new class of yachts had pushed past reasonable safely limits.
Either way, Conner concluded, "It's not good for sailing."

Posted on 10/16/2011 2:28:38 PM PDT by ConservativeChris
LAS VEGAS (CBS Sports.com) IndyCar driver Dan Wheldon has been seriously injured in a massive 15-car wreck has sent cars flying through the air early in Sundays Las Vegas Indy 300.
Paul Tracy, who was involved in the wreck, said a team of doctors were working on Wheldon, but there was no word of his injuries. A helicopter lifted off from the speedway, but there was no indication if Wheldon was onboard.
Pippa Mann also appeared to be shaky as she was helped to an ambulance.
The wreck coming out of Turn 2 on the 12th lap left Townsend Bell upside down, smoldering cars strewn all over the track and debris nearly halfway up the straightaway of the 1.5-mile oval.
Wheldon was in line to win $5 million had he won the race.
I saw it. Hope Dan Wheldon is ok. Doesn't look good.
Been watching, they now say that Wheldon WAS on the helicopter, no other info coming out. His car was flat, when they took it off the track.
Channel surfing and came upon this race and they said it had been black flagged at that point for an hour and 15 minutes. Sooo I Just went on Utube and watched a slow motion from above. Oh My!
As bad a wreck as I've ever seen.
Prayers to all involved.
I've never seen anything like it. I thought sure someone had died when they put the yellow tarp over that one car.
I thought the same, awful wreck.
Saw the replays of wreck. Weldon and at least one other were airborne. Very nasty.
Internet ripe with the worst possible news about Dan Wheldon, his condition is still officially unkown-unconfirmed.
Prayers.................ABC just filling air time until some word about race and most importantly the conditions of all drivers, Dan Wheldon being the most worried about...
Yeah just don't believe any of the BS on twitter right now. Praying for Dan
Drivers leaving meeting, per ABC no interviews by drivers...
He died.
Oh, dear. He died.
Dan Wheldon has died, Ending race, in Dan Wheldon's honor.
Just announced he's dead.
Dan has been lost. RIP. Prayers for his family and friends.
I saw some speed channel discussion yesterday and they talked about the danger of this field size and this track. I haven't seen a list of everyone involved, but it seems that Weldon is the only serious injury at this point.
Just watching ABC.....they announced that Dan has died.
Very sad.
His wife, kids, and sister were at the hospital.
Prayers needed for those left behind.
Just heard, so tragic..saw the crash on TV, it did not look survivable. Prayers to his family during this very difficult time
Very sad. The way Tony Kanaan was breaking up it just seemed a lot worse than expected.
God bless all who challenge the limits because by doing so not only do they thrill us but the technology they pioneer frequently becomes our own safety nets.
Video on you tube of wreck. Worst I have ever seen. People tend to forget with all the safety advances, this is a very dangerous sport
Very Very sad.
It is a very dangerous sport. The last crash I remember was Dale Earnhardt..seems like only yesterday that happened..now unfortunately history has repeated itself. Two little boys lost their Dad today, so tragic
"That means that there is almost no room for failure by driver, pilot or machine"
One driver got a LITTLE goofy,(moved in like a foot) and all hell broke loose.
Playing Amazing Grace during the Five Lap tribute for Dan Wheldon....
Yeah I saw it, it was a nice tribute
I think they should stop running indy cars on NASCAR tracks. Very dangerous...

LOVELAND, Ohio -- Residents of this eastern Hamilton County, Ohio, community are in an uproar over plans to open an indoor gun range just 100 yards away from more than 1,000 students in two Loveland, Ohio, elementary schools, an issue especially controversial in light of last week's massacre at a Connecticut school.
The proposed range is across the block from Loveland Primary School, which educates about 500 students in grades 1 and 2, and the attached Loveland Elementary School with about 700 third and fourth graders.
"My concern is we keep our children and our community safe," said Valerie Kincaid, 44, who has two children in the school district. "I actually grew up with gun safety and guns in the house. I am not a person who thinks law abiding citizens shouldn't have access to guns for hunting or public protection as long as they follow the laws and are not a danger to others or themselves. I even went to gun ranges with my dad, but I never saw one located so close to a school.
FULL COVERAGE: Sandy Hook school shooting
Kincaid and others spoke out against the proposal at Loveland City Council's meeting Tuesday. City leaders explained the gun range was legally permitted at the proposed site, a vacant storefront.
"There have to be other appropriate spots around Loveland or the general region here," Kincaid said. "I guess it raises the question just because you legally can do something, maybe you should ask the deeper question: Is it the right thing to do at that location?"
City officials say they understand how emotional the issue is.
"It's just unfortunate," said Assistant City Manager Gary Vidmar, "but we understand the sentiments and we are willing to listen to folks."
While there is nothing in the zoning code that would stop the range from being built that close to a school, the developer involved, Steve Ling, has not submitted any formal proposals, Vidmar noted.
"The business owner may consider another location and may consider other options but that is by his choice at this point," Vidmar said.
Ling did not respond to a request for comment.
Heather Higdon, a spokeswoman for Loveland schools, said the district will not comment on the issue or even explain, at least at this point, how students would be kept safe should the range open.
In 2005, Loveland residents voted overwhelmingly in favor of allowing indoor shooting ranges within the city limits, Vidmar said.

5 Great Holiday Card Photo Ideas
1. No cheese, please
It seems that most kids (and some adults) naturally say "cheese!" whenever they see a camera. But getting the best image sometimes involves not only not smiling, but pretending the camera isn't even there. Try playing a game that you know makes the kids laugh, having a tickle war, or just sharing a quiet moment with each other.
2. Get in close
Try to get everyone in the photo touching or making a connection in some way. You want everyone to look like one unit. Take the photo below, for example. Just moving their faces closer to each other and having them all embrace each other made the photo look so much cozier!
3. Get on their level
When you're taking photos of young kids, try getting down on the floor and experiencing the world as they see it. Not only will your photo be more visually interesting, but your subject will be able to connect with the camera much more naturally than when you're looking down on them.
4. Focus on the background
Well, not literally, but you want to make sure the background complements your image and isn't distracting. When looking for possible locations, a brick wall, wooden fence, or some other textured surface will make a great backdrop & add subtle interest to your photo. If your background seems too busy and switching locations isn't an option, try moving your subject further away from the background and closer to the camera. It will place more focus on the person you're photographing and blur out what's behind them.
5. Leave space around the edges
For maximum usability, try leaving a decent amount of space around your subject(s). This will allow you to have art or text overlaying your photo if needed. It's no fun to find a holiday card you love, but not have enough space around the edges of your photo to use it!

My basement is unfinished but has a square cut out in the concrete for a toilet. An ABS pipe is about 10" down under some rock. If I am going to install a toilet how is it done. Can you just bring the pipe straight up at a 90? There is a seperate drain coming out of the floor for a shower I am assuming but not interested in shower at this time. Thanks.
