CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - Amen is perhaps one of the most common words on a Christian's lips. It is a direct transliteration--not translation--from the Hebrew word אמן, amen, a word the Greek Scriptures themselves transliterate: ἀμὴν, amēn.
We generally tend to see the word as a clausula, a caesura, a period, a seal at the end of our prayers: ". . . but deliver us from evil, Amen." ". . . now and at the hour of our death, Amen." ". . . is now, and ever shall be, world without end, Amen."
In this sense, the word might be translated something along the lines of: "So be it," or "Let it be so," or "Be it firm," or "Be it so established."
Not only do prayers end with "Amen," but so does the Catholic Creed.
Along these same lines, the word Amen is the last word of the Bible, as if it were a knot tying together the last lines of the book of Revelation: "The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people. Amen." (Rev. 22:21)
We might get the impression, from its use at the end of prayers, creeds, and scripture, that the word Amen is static, that it acts sort of like a bookend, a final twist, a knot. But this would be a big mistake. Despite its common use, it is therefore a word worth exploring in this series on the three sacred languages, Tres Linguae Sacrae.
The word Amen is not static. It is in fact dynamic, because it is a two-way, double-faceted, word. It is a two-arrowed word. One might even say that, at the Annunciation, it became an "incarnate" word. That's why Blessed John Paul II, in his Encyclical Ecclesia de Eucharistia, tied the word "Amen" to Mary's Fiat: "[T]here is a profound analogy between the Fiat which Mary said in reply to the angel, and the Amen which every believer says when receiving the body of the Lord." (No. 55) It is a word that, when uttered in faith, is a word spoken by two people--God and man--and at the same time.
The dual nature of the word Amen is expressed, for example, when Amen is used in reference to the Creed. There, it takes a meaning more along the lines of "I believe!" "Thus the Creed's final 'Amen' repeats and confirms its first words: 'I believe,'" says the Catechism of the Catholic Church. "To believe is to say 'Amen' to God's words, promises, and commandments, to entrust oneself completely to him who is the 'Amen' of infinite love and perfect faithfulness."
The Catechism continues: "The Christian's everyday life will then be the 'Amen' to the 'I believe' of our baptismal profession of faith." CCC � 1064.
As the Catechism explains, Amen "comes from the same root as the word 'believe,'" that is to say the Hebrew word אָמַן, aman. The Catechism continues: "This root expresses solidity, trustworthiness, faithfulness, and so we can understand why 'Amen' may express both God's faithfulness towards us and our trust in him." CCC � 1062 (emphasis added).
It is therefore a two-way word, a mediatory word, an "I-Thou" word, a word which of itself and in itself is a simultaneous dialogue between God and man: "I" speaks to, or believes in, "Thou" and "Thou" speaks to, or reveals himself to, "I," and at one-and-the-same-time. It expresses at one-and-the-same-time God's fidelity and our fidelity in that fidelity.
The Roman Catechism also known as the Catechism of the Council of Trent observes that it is important that we should know "why we close our prayers with this word, and what it signifies, for devotion in concluding our prayers is not less important than attention in beginning them."
The Roman Catechism suggests that the Amen we use at the end of our prayers, though we certainly utter it, is not so much our prayer or its closure, but God's response. Amen, which may be translated "know that your prayers are heard," says that Catechism, "has the force of a response, as if God answers the suppliant, and graciously dismisses him, after having favorably heard his prayers."
This is dramatically symbolized in the Communion rite of the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, where the server--who symbolizes the people--recites the entirety of the Lord's Prayer except the Amen. The priest--who stands in persona Christi, in the person of Christ--responds to the server's recitation with the Amen.
Taking this insight to heart, when we say Amen at the end of our prayers, especially the Lord's Prayer or the great Eucharistic Amen, we might say that it is more along the lines of God speaking to us, and not so much as us speaking to God.
This mediatory aspect of the word Amen is particularly vividly expressed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church which draws on St. John's Revelation, where Jesus is referred to as "the Amen." (Rev. 3:14)
"Jesus Christ himself is the 'Amen.' He is the definitive 'Amen' of the Father's love for us. He takes up and completes our 'Amen' to the Father." CCC � 1065 (emphasis added).
Again, we have here a two-way theme: the "Amen" is Christ, both true God and true man, the mediator between God and man. We say Amen, but Christ the Amen completes and perfects and takes it to the Father. It is in this manner that St. Paul uses Amen in his second letter to the Corinthians: "For all the promises of God find their Yes is in him [Jesus]. That is why we utter the Amen through him, to the glory of God." (2 Cor. 1:20)
One can say that this meaning of Amen becomes literally and really true in our worthy reception of the Body and Blood of Christ in communion, what might be called our personal Eucharistic Amen. The priest or extraordinary minister offers to us "The Body of Christ"--that is, the Body of Jesus the Amen--or "The Blood of Christ"--the Blood of Jesus the Amen--and our answer is, "Amen!"
Jesus, the Eucharistic Bridegroom, stoops down from the heavens physically and spiritually to consummate as it were a marital union with us, who are his Eucharistic brides. This is the meaning of communion--a repair of disunion, a bringing together of what originally was one but has become separate. "For he who has become your husband is your Maker; his name is the LORD of hosts; your redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, called God of all the earth. The LORD calls you back, like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, a wife married in youth and then cast off." (Isaiah 54:5-6)
"Yes indeed," Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI observed at a Sermon at the Mass of the Lord's Supper, "the Eucharist is more than a meal, it is a wedding-feast." "Certainly, through this gift of his love," that is found in Jesus giving himself to us in the Eucharist Benedict XVI continued, "he transcends all distance and makes us truly his 'partners'--the nuptial mystery of love is accomplished."
My individual Eucharistic Amen is par excellence a word for two, a word which makes partners, even a marriage, of God and me. "This is a great mystery, a great sacrament, but I speak in Christ and the Church." (Cf. Eph. 5:32) At this moment of consummation, of communion, Jesus and I are like Tobias and the beautiful, but demon-haunted Sarah, who together prayed before their nuptials and together ended their prayer with "Amen, amen." (Tobias 8:8). Jesus, in giving himself to me, is Tobias. I, in receiving the Lord who gives himself to me, am Sarah. I might be sure, that in my Eucharistic Amen, Jesus and I are together, saying "Amen, amen."
Jesus, the Amen, gives himself to me, we say Amen together, the Amen being more Jesus' response than my prayer, and I become--by grace--Amen. This Eucharistic Amen is the ultimate in divine and human dynamism and divine and human union. It is no wonder that Blessed John Paul II found in that Eucharistic Amen an analogy to Mary's Fiat. "Be it done to me according to your word." (Luke 1:30-35)

great location and service bathroom needs updateByBukov January 17, 2015 The hotel is nice and comfortable, very comfortable bed and pillows but the bathroom is out dated and looks worst for ware. The staff nice and friendly and helpful. great location but parking is expensive and this is a bit of an issue for me when considering future stay. It was OK for a couple of nights but would not like to pay $18 per day if staying for a week, would consider other hotels with free parking.

Reverting to a Previous Version...
by John.Wilkinson - 1/12/09 8:02 PM
In Reply to: READ ME: Windows 7 Tips and Guides... by John.Wilkinson
Given that some people may be looking to remove Windows 7 from their systems I would like to offer a few notes:
1.) Microsoft does not support downgrading Windows, so if you wish to revert to Windows XP/Vista you must format the drive, which means you will lose all personal files and settings. Please back everything up before reverting.
2.) Most manufacturers are no longer shipping recovery system CDs/DVDs with new computers, so if Windows 7 was preinstalled I would strongly recommend burning the CDs/DVDs yourself from the hidden partition the manufacturer created on your hard drive. To do this you should find an option in the Start Menu along the lines of burning system restore discs. Without these discs you will be unable to reinstall Windows 7 at a later date, if you so choose.
3.) Many people have reported being unable to install a previous version of Windows on the same drive/partition as the current installation. If you find yourself unable to reformat or delete the partition using the Windows CD/DVD, you can use the free utility DBAN to wipe your hard drive and give you a clean start. If creating a bootable floppy or flash drive, please note that you need to run the executable you download in order to create the bootable diskyou cannot simply copy the .EXE onto the disk. On the other hand, if you are creating a bootable CD/DVD please note that you must burn the ISO as an image file, not just as a data file.
4.) If Windows 7 was preinstalled, understand that the computer manufacturer most likely will not support your installation of XP/Vista, meaning they will neither provide full technical support nor provide all of the required drivers. Make sure such drivers are available from the third-party manufacturers (ATI, Nvidia, Realtek, C-Media, Lucent, etc) before reverting to XP/Vista.
5.) Please note that if you have an OEM copy of Windows XP/Vista from another computer you may not install it on your new computer. OEM and otherwise preinstalled copies of Windows are tied to the specific computer and cannot be legally moved. You can only transfer the license to the new computer if it was a full retail copy.
6.) You may also consider dual-booting Windows 7 with another operating system, such as Windows XP or Windows Vista, letting you switch back and forth between the two at will. Have a look at the other tips in this thread to get started.
If you have any additional questions concerning reverting to a previous version of Windows feel free to ask.

On this Thanksgiving Day I am in transition. I'm settling into my new Houston digs in preparation for my fresh adventure with Quilts Inc. while still consulting for Quilting Arts and preparing for the next season of "Quilting Arts TV."
Choosing the right machine quilting pattern for your piece is as important as the thread and fabric selections.
After a whirlwind couple of weeks that involved traveling to Chicago for the CREATE mixed-media retreat, Cleveland to tape Season 9 of "Quilting Arts TV" (and to visit my favorite museum), and a quick trip to California to help a friend celebrate a special milestone, I've finally been able to settle in back home and take stock.
Just as the summer is winding down (sniff!), so is the celebration of 10 years of Quilting Arts Magazine. It's not a sad ending, though, because it's been really gratifying to revisit all the talented artists we've worked with and all the gorgeous artwork that has come through our offices and into our pages.
I'm going to ask you a question and I want you to give me an honest answer. When choosing among items at a grocery store, have you ever selected one over the other based solely on how you could use the packaging to create surface design?
I just love to design my own fabric. Sometimes, I love it so much, I get all mushy.
That's when you'll find me whipping up resists in the kitchen using mashed potato flakes, oatmeal, or even rice cereal for babies.
Thread sketching? Love it! Using free-motion stitching with your sewing machine to create what looks like pen-and-ink drawings lends a real "hand of the artist" look to a quilt. The technique is also an effective way to add stitched imagery to fabric collages.
As you know, I am a surface design junkie. As you also know, surface design is messy.So while I often take my beloved Bernina® on vacation with me, I'm not likely to lug my screens, Thermofax machine, paints, dyes, and soy wax with me.
Reports from Fashion Week earlier this year (how many of us knew the term "fashion week" before "Project Runway" came on the scene?) showed that color, graphic design, spots, and fabric that seems to move would be hot this fall.
I was pulling laundry out of the dryer the other day when I spied something among the folds that looked black, fuzzy, and about the size of a quarter. I dropped the laundry basket and jumped back, convinced I had just seen a giant spider.
Finally, we've had a stretch of warm, sunny days and my spring flowers are starting to bloom. Local garden centers are awash with marigolds, pansies, geraniums, and herbs.
All of which has made me think about gardening and dyeing. Sunny, windless days are perfect for dyeing. But while I usually use commercial dyes on fabric, I've been thinking about natural dyeing from collected plants.
You might have seen this picture from my wrap up of "QATV" Season 8. Yes, I am vertically challenged and need a little boost in order to reach the pedal on the set's sewing machine. The Quilting Arts crew thinks it's funny to capture these little behind-the-scenes TV moments. And frankly, I do, too.
Every time I come back to our editorial offices back east I'm greeting with more Quilting Arts @10 anniversary postcards. I love it! We'll be featuring some in the next issue of the magazine, so watch for them.
There's an old joke, from well before my time, that is still around because it's a classic.
An elderly gentleman is walking down the street in New York City.
A younger man steps up to him and asks, "Excuse me, sir, but how do I get to Carnegie Hall?
I'm a fabric printing nut. I started with stamping, then added Thermofax® screen printing, and lately I've been churning out gelatin prints by the score. I couldn't tell you what I like best about printing-the graphic nature of the design, the thrill of pulling the paint through the screen, or the magic of lifting the stamp or screen to see what's revealed below are just the beginning. But one thing I definitely like is that while there are often happy surprises, there isn't a lot of guesswork.
Painting fabric is another story. How much paint do I use? What kind of brush? How do I keep the colors from bleeding into one another? How do I make sure my design shows up where I want it to? So many questions...they send me scurrying back to my printing tools.

Cross back into the States to begin the trip home
Got on the road jus after 7am this morning.. We were at the Sarnia boarder just before 10 o'clock and it was quiet busy so took us about 40 minutes to cross. The guy we had was surprisingly very nice and let us go rather quickly when he saw we had our green card already. We traveled up through Michigan, where the 3 Great Lakes meet. Lake ...

The Cow Jumped Over The Moon
No wait a minute, it should be The Deer Jumped Over The Mini. Yes, a deer jumped over the Mini as we were skidding down the highway. Thank you St. Christopher! (I have a St. Christopher medal clipped to my sun visor) So the deer in Michigan have no sense of time. Today I saw three deer along the highway in different places. The first ran across in front of us. I saw it soon enough to slow way down, so there was no excitement there. The second deer was just grazing along the shoulder ...
Lake of The Clouds
... deer, pristine woods, peace. Untouched by man, no man made structure anywhere from lookout to Lake of the Clouds. Park road took us next to Lake Superior shoreline, got out of the car-really pretty-calm and clear, clean water. Both surprised that each time we saw Superior it was as calm as a mill pond (unlike Lake Michigan which was windy most all the time).
I'm at camp
It's called the North Lakeland Discovery center, and it was at one point a summer camp for the area's youth. It is now used primarily for events. reunions, retreats, that sort of thing. The director signed the camp up on warmshowers, and luckily there is no overnight program today, so I get to stay in the bunkhouse, a large, clean, carpeted room with several bunks, lights, power and wifi!

Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel Drops Out of Heisman Trophy Race
After a 34-10 loss to LSU on Saturday night Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel has much to think about, with questions abounding regarding if – and really when – he will announce an intention to enter the 2014 NFL Draft. But while this will provide food for thought for the near future, one thing that the quarterback can cross off his wish list is winning the Heisman Trophy, as his performance on Saturday afternoon was absolutely awful.
Throughout the game Manziel was constantly hassled by LSU defenders, who made it their mission to hit the quarterback as many times as possible. This strategy worked to great success, as after cutting off the run game of Texas A&M they were able to get to the quarterback and subsequently block all of his passing lanes. For the night he completed 16 of 41 passes for 224 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, which was by far his worst game of the 2013 season.
On the whole of the season, Manziel has thrown for 3537 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and 13 interceptions, while running for an additional 665 yards and 8 touchdowns on the ground. This has contributed for 62.5 percent of the team's offensive touchdowns, 69.1 percent of Texas A&M's total offense and has made the quarterback the undoubted most valuable player in college football.
Unfortunately, the Heisman Trophy is not decided solely on personal statistics, but also relies heavily on the success of a player's team. For Manziel this will be a key stumbling block, as the loss on Saturday dropped Texas A&M to 8-3 in 2013 and effectively ended any chances of appearing in a BCS Bowl.
When this is compared to the three main competitors for the Heisman Trophy– Jameis Winston, AJ McCarron and Bryce Petty – there simply is no comparison. Winston, Petty, and McCarron are all but locks to play in BCS Bowls this season – two of the three will most likely play in the National Championship game – and therefore have a huge part of their resume filled that Manziel will be missing.
After considering the fact that only five out of the last 43 winners of the Heisman Trophy have lost three games or more, it becomes clear that their is little chance Manziel wins the award in 2013. When it is also considered that his statistical output does not significantly stand out from that of his competitors for the award, it is shown that these slim chances drop down to no chance, and that the quarterback is better off wishing he gets drafted high in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Canon EOS T3 w/ 18-55mm lens - refurb + 90 day warranty $349 FS

Reason: added product picture
We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
FWIW, the only camera I've had break is the one NEW one that came DOA. And I've had 10+ cameras in 6 years. In fact, I'd argue the refurb is less likely to fail, since it's been looked at a bit more than the new camera. And if the new camera fails, don't you have to pay to ship it back? Add that to your $40 premium. And factor in the opportunity cost of the weeks lost waiting for the camera to be fixed. In any case, a 10% savings is a 10% savings. Either buy is a good deal for a starter DSLR. |
I am newbie to DSLR and so far used PS only. Looking for DSLR camera, Most important thing I am looking for is to take pics of my 18 months old daughter indoor and outdoor with very low lights as that is the biggest concern I have with my Lumix point and shoot.
This looks affordable to me. Any advice? |

These flashes are great in my opinion: http://www.ebay.com/itm/310381911...149 An external flash should be one of the first things you upgrade, then get a few lens upgrades, then a new body down the road Good luck! |

I love this place! and we are repeat "Robins Placers" as it were. It is the last of the Bali lozman style villas to stay. Clean, relaxed, spacious, with awesome gardens and friendly staff. This is the ideal place to holiday with your friends and/or family in a home style set up. There are dozens of shops at the end of the long driveway that can provide whatever necessities you have forgotten to bring, and very good restaurants a short walk away. Robins Place is not for room service dependent, more so for those who would rather not be disturbed. I love the staff at Robins Place, as do the kids, and we alway look forward to reuniting with them on our next Bali holiday.

Great lock - but i'm too lazy ...
Great lock. I recommend it to anyone. Only thing is that it's a little heavy (which is good) and so most days I leave it at home and either use the ski-check or trust my luck amongst all the other loose boards stacked up against the lodge.

Application DetailsI applied through college or university. The process took 3+ weeks – interviewed at Comcast.
Interview DetailsHad phone calls with each member on the team. There were no technical questions, only behavioral and personal questions to see if we can be a good fit. They asked for location specifications, and I chose Denver, though they have interns all over, and especially Philly. I received an offer, and had to take a drug test. I accepted the offer and was glad I did. Large corporate company, but if you get on a good team, it is a lot of fun.

Interview Questions- I was a rehire back. The question was: Why do you want to return to Comcast. I answered that I stepped away to advance my career in a direction I thought would be beneficial and I see this step has given knowledge, maturity, professionalism that I can now advance within Comcast and not only help grow my career, but the company as well.

Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Comcast.
Interview DetailsInitially applied via Comcast job portal. A couple days later I received an email to a form asking me to list my skills, available times to be called, and to upload my most recent resume and transcript. Had the phone interview, about 20 minutes long. Mainly talked about things on my resume and cable technology. A week later the HR team contacted me to schedule an on-site interview. Talked with 2 HR employees, was asked a couple general (read easy) questions about my goals and past experiences. A couple days after that, I received an offer.

Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Comcast in January 2015.
Interview DetailsI applied online on the career page on comcast.com/careers. I was contacted by a recruiter and given a 15-20 min phone interview. This was about 6 days after I filled out the actual application. They told me about pay rate and benefits before I even got started with the interview. I was then sent a link to take an personality assessment. Pretty standard and included some scenario questions with video's. The same day I received a call to set up a in person interview :) I applied around the holiday so my interview was about 2 weeks later. The interview was at a central location that was no where near the store I applied for. The interview was at 10 and started promptly and they was a big group, about 30 people. We watched video's and went over benefits and perks then split into groups of 5 and did a short group interview, mainly about my last job likes/dislikes and relevant experience. It wasn't a very big room and there 6 different sets of group interviews going on around me and I could clearly hear everyone else. We there then told to wait and they came up with a cute excuse to let go about half of the group and the remaining were asked to stay for one on one interviews. My one on one interview was with my actual store manager. Asked about 5 questions about job relevance and experience. You must have an updated version of your resume because they will look at it for reference. They do background checks and drug testing. Do NOT lie on your resume and make sure your dates and time periods match up because the BG check does confirm your dates of employment-job history, criminal background and where you've lived. I did get offered a job and think it will be a good company to work for.

Three area schools were ranked in the Georgia Sports Writers Association high school basketball poll released Monday.
Little things matter, that's the simple truth.
Buford girls 73
Undefeated after four rounds in the duals portion of the Hall County Championships on Saturday, Flowery Branch needed a win over Chestatee to secure its second straight team title. With the score tied 6-6, the Falcons' 152-pound Hall County individual champion Ben Yu won by pin, beginning a stretch in which Flowery Branch won six of the next seven matches to beat Chestatee 50-13 and defend their Hall County team championship.
Auburn University commit Blance Alverson led Class AA's third-ranked Buford with 18 points in the Lady Wolves 52-47 win against fifth-ranked Gainesville on Saturday night at Gainesville High.
The East Hall High boys basketball team defeated McDonogh (La.) 78-49 on Friday in the Playground Shootout in Fort Walton Beach, Fla.
It's said that quality matters more than quantity and Johnson's Devaris Finch is a living example.
Flowery Branch High's wrestling team certainly dominated the lightweight divisions in the individual matches of the Hall County championships. Whether that translates into a repeat team title for the Falcons will be determined today at East Hall.
The West Hall High girls basketball team fell victim to a second-half rally in a 36-31 loss to Creekview on Friday in Canton.
It may be easier for fans in attendance if the coaches at the Hall County Championships this weekend wear name tags.
The North Hall High girls basketball team defeated East Jackson 53-30 on Tuesday at Philips Arena in Atlanta.
In a year in which three teams reached the second round of the Class AAA state playoffs, two reached the quarterfinals and one reached the state title game, Region 7-AAA can now officially be called one of the top football regions in Class AAA.
Led by freshman Kanler Coker's 25 points, North Hall beat East Jackson 66-62 on Tuesday night at Philips Arena.
The East Hall boys basketball team fell in the finals of the Playground Classic Holiday basketball tournament 65-58 against Mandeville High (La.) on Tuesday night in Fort Walton Beach, Fla. Charles Perry led the Vikings (6-4) in scoring with 12 points. Dustin Duckworth and Kymmon Woods each finished with 11 for East Hall. Woods and Duckworth were named to the All-Tournament team. East Hall plays host to Johnson on Jan. 13.
A ceremony five years in the making is finally happening.
Hunter Konuszewski hit a 3-pointer as time expired to lift Flowery Branch's boys basketball team to a 57-56 victory over Lanier on Friday in Sugar Hill.
Colin Monaghan has made plenty of individual accomplishments in the swimming pool, and he has lofty goals for his future.
All-Area Boys Cross Country First Team
Ten of Commerce's wrestlers went undefeated throughout the Tigers' romp to a second straight state team duals title in Class A this weekend at the Macon Centreplex.
Ty Cockfield scored 46 points, including 26 in the fourth quarter, to lead Johnson to a comeback 82-76 win over Apalachee that keeps the Knights undefeated.
Jake Shewbert completed quite a change of fortunes individually at the state cross country meet on Nov. 8.
Jenna Gearing knew nothing would come easy in 2014.
The Flowery Branch girls swimming team closed out its seventh straight Hall County championship in style Friday, sweeping the top two spots in the meet-capping 400-yard freestyle relay at Frances Meadows Aquatic and Community Center.
Banks County's Austin Venable scored his 1,000th career point as the Leopards defeated West Hall 76-48 on Friday in Homer.
When Buford's girls need a shot of energy into the offense, the ball automatically goes into the able hands of senior guard Camille Anderson. Although she's a versatile weapon, scoring is where her skills were most apparent against North Hall on Friday.
Flowery Branch's swimmers haven't grown complacent during their ongoing run of success at the Hall County championships.

If you are in the middle of a TDD iteration, how do you know which tests fail because the existing code is genuinely incorrect and which fail because either the test itself or the features haven't been implemented yet? Please don't say, "you just don't care, because you have to fix both." I'm ready to move past that mindset.
My general practice for writing tests is as follows:
First, I architect the general structure of the test suite, in whole or in part. That is - I go through and write only the names of tests, reminding me of the features that I intend to implement. I typically (at least in python) simply start with each testing having only one line: self.fail(). This way, I can ride a stream of consciousness through listing every feature I think I will want to test - say, 11 tests at a time.
Second, I pick one test and actually write the test logic.
Third, I run the test runner and see 11 failures - 10 that simply self.fail() and 1 that is a genuine AssertionError.
Fourth, I write the code that causes my test to pass.
Fifth, I run the test runner and see 1 pass and 10 failures.
Sixth, I go to step 2.
Ideally, instead of seeing tests in terms of passes, failures, and exceptions, I'd like to have a fourth possibility: NotImplemented.
What's the best practice here?

A U.S. arena tour of "Jesus Christ Superstar" — headlined by music stars such as former Destiny's Child Michelle Williams as Mary Magdalene and ex-Sex Pistol John "Johnny Rotten" Lydon as King Herod — has been scrapped. That includes the Aug. 1 show scheduled for the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
The tour of the famed Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice musical — which also featured Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd as Judas and 'N Sync alum JC Chasez as Pontius Pilate — was set to hit 54 cities, beginning in New Orleans June 9.

Regulatory Update, October 2009
10. Your CFO is also your compliance officer and he/she lacks significant compliance experience.
9. Your firm's compliance manual has not been updated in years.
8. Your firm's marketing materials are not being reviewed, approved and retained by a qualified person.
7. Your firm does not have a documented policy and procedures governing the giving and receiving of gifts and entertainment.
6. Annual compliance training requirement? We're required to have compliance training every year?
5. Your firm has not had a thorough, well-documented annual compliance review as required by the Investment Advisor's Act.
4. You consider private equity to be "low risk" so you're hesitant to invest in an effective compliance program.
3. A successful independent review of your compliance program bolsters your standing with pension fund investors.
2. You think your firm is in compliance but it sure would give you peace of mind to have your compliance program validated by an independent compliance consultant.
And the #1 reason why your firm needs a compliance consultant is. . .
1. If your firm is ever involved in a regulatory scandal, you can kiss your hard-earned reputation good-bye.
The rule also prohibits fund advisors from paying third-party placement agents, solicitors, finders or similar parties to solicit a governmental agency. Governmental agency's would apparently include state universities' endowment funds.
Investment advisers who "pay-to-play", either directly or indirectly, are prohibited from receiving compensation for its advisory services for that governmental entity for a period of two years after the advisor or certain of its executives or employees make such a payment.
The public comment period closed on October 6 with more than 80 comment letters posted on the SEC's website. A number of state plans, including Connecticut, Wisconsin, South Dakota, and Missouri have submitted letters opposing the ban on the use of placement agents. A final rule is expected prior to year end.

Millions being left on table by N.C. businesses
- Lee Weisbecker
- Staff Writer- Triangle Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
RALEIGH – So far, it's the business tax break with few takers.
Owners of an estimated 250,000 small businesses across North Carolina beginning this year were given the green light to exempt their first $50,000 in business income from their state tax liabilities.
Yet, in the first six months of the year, business owners making quarterly estimates of their 2012 taxes and paying early, largely haven't been taking it.
In fact, say General Assembly fiscal researchers, an estimated $150 million, or nearly 32 percent of a $465 million revenue surplus that was sitting in state coffers as of June 30, is money that could have been claimed under the exemption but wasn't.
"Much of the surplus was attributable to the delay in taxpayers taking advantage of the $50,000 business exemption," says legislative economist Barry Boardman. "We expected to see companies begin to take it in April and June. They did not. They appear to be in a wait-and-see mode."
April and June would have been the first opportunity for businesses making quarterly tax estimates to write down their taxes.
The 2011 General Assembly passed the exemption as a stimulus measure. UNC-Chapel Hill researcher Brent Lane, who studied the proposal in various drafts, predicted the legislation could create as many as 3,600 jobs, though finding credible verification of such an outcome would be difficult.
The exemption applies only to so-called "pass-through" businesses – sole proprietorships, S corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies whose shareholders include business income on their personal income taxes. C corps don't qualify for the deduction.
Moreover, the deduction can't be taken on "passive" income – from rental property for example – and applies instead to revenue generated by active management of a company.
A married couple operating a firm can deduct up to $100,000.
The very existence of the deduction has received scattered and mixed attention. It made headlines when it was passed at the end of the 2011 legislative session. In 2012, it came under critical scrutiny from various groups, which dubbed it an example of unwise corporate welfare coming at a time when spending on public education was being cut.
Boardman says it's only been in recent weeks that his office has started receiving information requests about the exemption from accounting firms. It's expected that between now and April, more businesses will start taking the break on their quarterly estimates.
By April's tax deadline, state fiscal analysts estimate the state will forgo revenue ranging from $330 million to $345 million because of the exemption. In the meantime, the N.C. Department of Revenue is expected to release clarifying rules on how business owners can claim the exemption.
Making a quarterly tax estimate is a common practice among small businesses in the state, especially if owners think they will end up owing the government more than $1,000, says Lauren Massie, a tax specialist with Raleigh-based Simply Taxes.
In fact, adds Massie, "Penalties and interest may be imposed as a result of failing to make such estimated tax payments." She says that in recent weeks, she's been receiving more client inquires about the exemption.
