A coalition of 35 American institutions engaged in Jewish-Christian relations responded sharply this week to a recent article by Rabbi Hershel Schachter, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva University, that suggests the Catholic Church is missionizing in Israel and that Israeli rabbis who engage in dialogue with the Church are guilty of idolatry.
A statement signed by the leaders of the Council of Centers on Jewish-Christian Relations, an association devoted to "enhancing understanding between Jews and Christians," said Rabbi Schachter's essay contained "blatant inaccuracies" and "inflammatory language," and "promulgates a long list of glaring errors — errors that he would not tolerate in other's writings.
"Were a Christian to make similar errors about Jews," the statement said, "that Christian would rightly be understood as an anti-Semite."
The rabbi, a much-revered teacher, decisor and one of the most respected religious authorities in the Orthodox community, wrote a dvar Torah for the Torah portion of Re'eh (Aug. 18) on TorahWeb.org. In it he accused nameless Orthodox rabbis in Israel who educate Christians about Judaism as being guilty of "deepening and furthering avodah zarah (idolatry)" and conversion.
"It is very painful to see that there is missionary activity taking place in Eretz Yisroel," the rabbi wrote, noting that the Catholic Church rejected the modern Zionist movement a century ago because the Jews lost their "chosen" status when they did not accept Jesus as the messiah.
Several interfaith scholars said the content and tone of Rabbi Schachter's article suggested that he is unaware or dismissive of the sweeping changes in the Catholic Church since the Second Vatican Council, in 1965, seeking to do teshuvah — the Church's language — for centuries of anti-Semitic theology by changing its liturgy and teachings about Jews and Judaism.
"Rabbi Schachter writes as if the Church is still missionizing and has not accepted the Jewish nature of the State of Israel, which is not true," Ruth Langer, a professor of Jewish studies at Boston College and chair of the council, told The Jewish Week.
"My great concern is that the rabbi is propagating the notion that the Church is out to convert Jews, and he is not recognizing that it has undergone teshuva [repentance]," said Langer, adding that "a failure to forgive" undermines the positive changes made by the Church.
She and other scholars noted that the Catholic Church and many Protestant churches have no programs to missionize to Jews in Israel or anywhere else.
Explaining the nature of Jewish-Christian dialogue, the Council statement said: "An explicit precondition of interreligious exchange today is that conversion must not be the goal. Christians seek conversation with Jews in order to understand today's Judaism, not to entice Jews to baptism."
The statement added that Jews engage in discussion with Christians to better understand them, and themselves.
"We also avoid a demonization of the unknown, or, as in Rabbi Schachter's statement, a demonization based on past but not present realities."
The Council statement said that since 1967 the Vatican has not called for the internationalization of Jerusalem, that in 1993 it diplomatically recognized the State of Israel and that it is engaged in official dialogue with both the Sephardic and Ashkenazic chief rabbis of Israel twice a year.
Eugene Fisher, the former U.S. bishops' director of Catholic-Jewish relations, told The Jewish Week the rabbi's article "sounds like it was written by someone in the 1940s," and said he worried that "the very harsh language and false claims" of Rabbi Schachter's essay "can be disastrous in the long run" in terms of Christian-Jewish understanding.
Widely credited for reforming Catholic teaching on Judaism, Fisher noted that Christians are "a minority within a minority" in Israel and "when someone of his [Rabbi Schachter's] stature comes out with dangerous falsehoods, bad things can happen."
Rabbi Schachter is a leading disciple of the late Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik, a towering figure of 20th-century Orthodoxy in America who was opposed to interfaith dialogue on theological matters.
An official of Yeshiva University said that Rabbi Schachter takes part in the annual campus visit of senior pastors of the Catholic Church, and that the university promotes unity among Jews and fosters positive relations with all people.
The Jewish Week was unable to reach Rabbi Schachter for comment.
The Council statement said it is "tragic that Rabbi Schachter distorts and misrepresents" the encounter between Jewish and Christian theologians committed to a deeper understanding of each other's faith and beliefs.
"Throughout history Jews have suffered terribly from crude, hateful and false stereotypes that were spun by Christian polemicists," the statement said. "Neither Jews nor Christians dare repeat this moral and theological error in our day."
The Anti-Defamation League's national director, Abraham Foxman, said in a statement issued Tuesday that Rabbi Schachter "seems to know nothing about the different Christian denominations or the current state of Jewish-Christian relations, which have improved greatly over the last four decades," especially the Catholic-Jewish dialogue.
He said it was "troubling that a religious figure and university academic who is well respected in the Yeshiva world would publish such a distorted and error-filled text which promotes negative attitudes."
He called on the rabbi to public correct the errors.
Rabbi Schachter has been known to make blunt, politically incorrect statements in the past.
In 2008 he was pressured to apologize for a statement he made to a group of yeshiva students in which he appeared to advocate shooting the prime minister of Israel should the government "give away Jerusalem."
Four years earlier, women's groups complained that a talk he gave seemed to compare women to animals in expounding on the issue of reading from a ketubah at a marriage ceremony. He said the marriage would be valid "even if a parrot or a monkey would read the ketubah."

The Jewish Week feels comments create a valuable conversation and wants to feature your thoughts on our website. To make everyone feel welcome, we won't publish comments that are profane, irrelevant, promotional or make personal attacks.
Once again, The Jewish Week's yellow journalism attacks Rabbi Schachter. Even the most simple Google search reveals many sources that show that Rabbi Schachter is 100% correct:
Rome says it won't intervene in row between US bishops, Jewish groups over Catholic proselytizing.
Pope pushes for international status of holy sites
Vatican impatience with Israeli visa policy
Tensions mark Israel, Vatican relations
Israel Postal Company workers in Ramat Gan say no to handing out thousands of holy Christian booklets
Even right before R"H and Y"K, The Jewish Week sows the seeds of hate. Absolutely sickening.
It is very clear that Gary Rosenblatt misinterpreted the article Rav Schachter was trying to portray regarding the unfortunate situation that is going on in Israel with Misionaries. He also seems to have some sort of personal vendetta , since he mentioned other articles not pertaining to the subject. Mr. Rosenblatt do you enjoy bashing a Godol Hador ? You have shown the readers that you are obvious not qualified to commentary on any orthodox issues ! You don't deserve any respect or acknowlogence in anything you care to say !
It is very clear to me by reading you're article that not only did you misinterpret the article Rav Schachter wrote but there is some personal vendetta you have with him by bringing up past articles that The Jewish Week has published regarding this Rav. Do you get some type of pleasure in bashing a Godol Hador ? You are clearly an ignorant fool who takes a serious issue such as missionaries in Israel and distorts it into a serious accusation ! You should be banned on any further commentary regarding anything in the Orhodox world !
Read R Riskin''s articles on interfaith ecumenical dioalogue, his address at Yale, and his granting of covenantal status to Christian supporters of Israel, his equuation of all who he believes worship HaShem and their being different solely by virtue of their ritual practice, and then read Confrontation, Then read how Germany rewards supporters of BDS, has intellectuals who display amnesia of the Holocaust and now is engaged in debates over Bris Milah. Then read Confontation, and ask yourself-why aren't the views of Rav Schachter, one of the greatest Talmidei Chachamim of our generation and one of Rav Soloveitchik ZL's greatest talmidim far more accurate than the wishful thinking of R Riskin?
I am quite astounded that with all the latest in the US elections, turmoil in the Middle East, and economic strife in Europe, the Jewish Week decided to publish a criticism of a d'var torah. The fact that Mr. Rosenblatt took the time to publish a criticism of a d'var torah on an obscure d'var torah website could only mean one of three things: 1) he hates torah; 2) he hates Rav Schachter; or 3) he's bored. I hope it is 3).
Rav Schachter's opinion on Jewish - Christian relations isn't anything new, and neither is the Jewish Week's sloppy and lazy reporting.
Unfortunately, the author of this piece and the "diplomats" he quotes are way out of touch with the reality of what is happening in the Catholic Church today. See:
A response to Gary Rosenblatt:
I am deeply troubled and disturbed by your article. You paint Rav Schachter shlita, one of the gedolah hador of our generation. as a foolish man who does not think before he speaks. But it is you Gary, who are a fool, for our Rabbis teach us that one who mocks the scholars has no share in the world to come (Rambam, Mishna Torah, 6:11). Your naive claims that the church is doing teshuva and that we should promote interfaith dialogue are simply preposterous. I personally can attest to the sensitive and caring nature of the Rosh Yeshiva. Upon mentioning the plight of an Agunah in shiur, Rav Schachter often breaks down in tears. If I were you Gary, I would retract your ridiculous article and call Rav Schachter and ask for meichlah. Writing such an article degrading a talmid chachim, especially before Rosh Hashana, is a sure way to have yourself sealed in the book of rashaim.
It's ironic that in the sentence "He called on the rabbi to public correct the errors," they writer of this article erred by using "public" instead of "publicly."
Please don't make me laugh.They is like ants who mock a giant.
So, The Jewish Week and Gary Rosenblatt are at it again salivating at the possibilities of throwing dirt on an Orthodox Jew - let alone such a prominent one as Rabbi Schachter.
How much research did you do on the article? Did you check out the Council's assertions about the "modern" church? I give move credence to Rabbi Schachter's assertions because he knows the facts on the ground - what's really happening in Israel. It's one thing to say that the Church's policies have changed, and then see how they are actually implemented. I doubt that anyone attacking Rabbi Schachter knows what daily life is like in Israel.
Furthermore, asking Abraham Foxman for a statement about this is like asking Noam Chomsky to support Birthright Israel - you knew what his answer would be.
Furthermore, your gratuitous rehashing of previous canards was totally unnecessary. If, however, you really believe that it's important to mention them, at the very least you could have also mentioned that many knowledgeable people believe he was misinterpreted.
I have known Rabbi Schachter for over 50 years as a colleague and student and I can attest that not only is he great Talmudic scholar he is also a Tsaddik.
Jay, did you read Rabbi Riskin's reply to Rav Schachter's article? It's in tune with the long during which European organizations on Jewish-Christian
While I have not read Rabbi Hershel Schachter's article, I understand the debate over the halacha. I think the distinction can be made between Catholics and other christian groups such as evangelicals who are active in supporting the rights of Israel to keep Jerusalem whole and the claims (settlements) to the whole west bank meaning Judea and Samaria. What is more disturbing to me is the thinking of many American and Israeli Jews who do not support the biblical mandate made between Hashem and Abraham in terms of the covenant of the land. I believe we should accept the support of Christian groups who see this Torah fact. Trust me they cannot convert true Jewish believers.
"Rabbi Schachter has been known to make blunt, politically incorrect statements in the past." This is truly what makes the Rabbi so great. He tells it like it is, regardless of societal pressures. We need more leaders like him!
He's right, not wrong. No question that evangelical protestants have a missionizing agenda since they perceive that the messiagh will come when Jews are converted. I suspect that portions of the Catholic Church which have turned crazily rightward will have the same perception. Orthodox Jews getting in bed with the evangelical protestants and catholics need to beware of bedding down with a lion
Except that he's right. Christians in Israel are different than Christians in the US. Missionary work goes on all the time. Christian missionaries are constantly knocking on doors in Israeli neighborhoods and speaking in schools. There's nothing wrong about bringing this up.
In Rabbi Shachter's article, he spoke the truth. He should be commended, not criticized.
There's no need for interfaith dialogue. These interfaith people just want to feel good about themselves and their openness. Their dialogue doesn't accomplish anything substantial.
Everyone, including, Rabbi Shachter, knows the importance of having good relations with our non-Jewish neighbors. Interfaith dialogue is something else. We need to distance ourselves from anything that even might be avodah zarah (especially give the fact that according to some opinions, Catholicism is actually avodah zarah)
Kudos to Rabbi Shachter, my fellow Washington Heightser!
This Jewish-Christian organization knows little about the culture of orthodox Judaism. Torah Web is intended for internal consumption among orthodox Jews who all share the nuances and flavor of their rabbis' words. The Torah Web rabbis all share the reasonable expectation that their essays will not be dissected by non-orthodox Jews, and Christian theologians, strangers to our unique culture. These are free-flowing essays, not academic journal, peer-reviewed contributions. In my eye, the dvar Torah, which I happened to read at my Shabbos table for my family and guests, is accurate in the whole, and word for word. Bothersome is the disrespect shown to one of our rabbinic leaders. I would never talk that way about the Pope. We Jews, in turn, should not enter Churches, and pick apart the sermons of the priests and reverends - notwithstanding that the Vatican did not recognize the legal existence of the State of Israel until 1993, 45 years after its establishment by the United Nations. History is relevant.
If the TorahWeb material is meant for internal consumption, it should not be online.
if there are no Catholic missionary activities in Israel, why are there multiple articles (like this one and this one) on catholic web sites about catholic missionary activity in Israel??????
No missionizing? What planet are you living on? see, for example, this story about the Israeli postmen who refused to deliver the missionary materials
He is not alone in being "out of touch" with reality. I would expect more from the rosh yeshiva of an institution like Yeshiva University. Last week I went to a Chabad Shabbat dinner and the rabbi mentioned Russia and communism, as if we were still in the cold war. Rabbi Ovadia Yosef has made many comments about non-jews, Palestinians, Persians and so on. We have to hold our leaders accountable or the world will. We need leaders like Rabbi Abraham Joshua Herschel, who marched with Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1960's for Black civil rights. The right wing influence within orthodoxy is dangerous. It has caused the Modern Orthodox Movement to become reactionary. They refuse to be proactive and stand for what they believe in. Speak up!
I'm sure that Rabbi Schachter wishes that he had an opportunity to re-write his article and remove many of the extraneous comments that detract from the core matter I assume he wished to discuss. Namely, the halachic difficulty with displaying Israeli beit medrashim to visiting Catholic clergy. Although I don't claim to be an expert on the Rav's classic treatise, Confrontation, where he established the guidelines for communicating with other faith communities, I believe that Rabbi Schachter's hostility to this burgeoning inter-faith endeavor is consistent with the Rav's position. Unfortunately, some members of the orthodox community- both in the United States and in Israel - need to take a step back and recognize that dialogue should be limited to shared non-religious issues that can improve social conditions in each faith community. At the same time, Rabbi Schachter needs to recognize that publication of articles delving into sensitive topics such as this are better left off the internet.
There are still plenty of missionary groups out there whose goal is to proselytize and convert, Vatican statements not-withsdtanding. RABBI DR. BERNHARD ROSENBERG
Rabbi Rosenberg, I agree with you 100%. Some of us Jews naively think that the Christians (Catholics and Protestants) will give up their goal to convert everyone to Christianity, that includes Jews and even Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists. What planet are we living on? The only reason they don't push harder to convert people in places like India or the Middle East is they know they'd be severely injured or killed if they tried it. They're abusing the kindness of Israeli society, which is still , thank G-d, somewhat based on Jewish ethics, to missionize.
Do you really think Catholics are not missionizing in Israel? One goes to Hell if they are not batized. Baptism of other faiths is a Mitzvah. Wake up and smell the truth. Rabbi dr. bernhard rosenberg

Work the Shell - Displaying Image Directories in Apache, Part IV
With all of this tucked into the script, we can use a skeleton table to organize things neatly. In a rough form, it'll look like this:

 image	 image	 image

Dropping it into the script, the key block that both displays the image, scaled, and keeps track of when we need to produce a new row in the table is:
if [ $linecount -eq $maxperline ] ; then # new row of table echo "

" linecount=0 fi echo "" echo "" echo "
$name
($height x $width)	" linecount=$(( $linecount + 1 ))
Now, because I want to write a highly readable script, it's worth highlighting that the top section lets you configure the heck out of this:
maxsize=150 # max thumbnail size, in pixels maxperline=3 # max images per table row
Both of these constants can be tweaked as needed. The result? See Figure 1. Sweet!

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Gatemouth Moore
Arnold Dwight Moore (November 8, 1913 – May 19, 2004), better known as Gatemouth Moore and later Reverend Gatemouth Moore, was an American blues and gospel singer, songwriter and pastor. A graduate of Booker T. Washington High School in Memphis, he claimed to have earned his nickname as a result of his loud speaking and singing voice.[1] During his career as a recording artist, Moore worked with various jazz musicians, including Bennie Moten, Tommy Douglas and Walter Barnes, and had songs recorded by B.B. King and Rufus Thomas.[2]
Moore was born in Topeka, Kansas. His first billing in Chicago was as Gatemouth Moore at the Rhumboogie in early 1945 and later several times at the Club DeLisa (1946–1947 and 1948–1949), where suddenly, in the middle of singing his hit "I Ain't Mad at You Pretty Baby", he switched into a gospel song.[3]
In 1949, Moore was ordained as a minister First Church of Deliverance in Chicago and went on to preach and perform, as Reverend Gatemouth Moore, as a gospel singer and DJ at several radio stations in Memphis, Birmingham and Chicago.[1]
Moore holds distinctions as a survivor of the 1940 Natchez Rhythm Club Fire and as the first blues singer to perform at Carnegie Hall.[1] A brass note on Beale Street Walk of Fame was dedicated to Moore in 1996.[4] He was also featured in the The Road to Memphis segment (directed and photographed by Richard Pearce) of the Martin Scorsese executive produced 2003 documentary The Blues.
He died in Yazoo City, Mississippi at age 90.

When I visit the live site of a client, the site is displaying the admin bar from the WordPress end. Can anyone help?
When I visit the live site of a client, the site is displaying the admin bar from the WordPress end. Can anyone help?
Are you able the copy the your themes header code and place in in Paste bin so we can look at it?
It's worse than that. You should take the site offline asap until you get this figured out.
Yepp Looks like the site is compromised.
Not that bad really. 176 validation errors, http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3a%2f%2fwww.theiconcompanies.com%2fservices%2f and javascript errors.
You can turn off the admin bar but it is the backend at the bottom of the page that is wrong. Looks like all the links 404 there.
Have you tried:
- deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
- switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
- resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
- re-uploading all files & folders - except the wp-content folder - from a fresh download of WordPress.
Thanks all - I will give it all a try. I just got hired today for this, so I can see why it's a mess. Appreciate the help

The reason we stayed there is because, after looking at several hotels' rooms, we found this one to be not only affordable and clean, but also having newer furniture. The bathrooms are very small, but they are very clean. So it feels like one of the a 4-star hotels, even though it's only a budget hotel (I stayed in the Premier Suite). They have free internet access (WI-FI) in our room =)
The staff speak English, though some speak it better than others. They are very friendly and were able to help us find nearby F&B outlets. Overall, the hotel, which is relatively new, is a terrific deal. The furniture is very modern and clean. For the price, this hotel is much better than older, more established hotels, which look nice from the lobby but are shabby in the rooms themselves.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- i-Hotel, a boutique hotel, boasts of a very unique and distinctive classic contemporary theme. With our slogan "Your Ideal Place To Stay," our aim is to provide a 5 star service & accommodation at a very affordable pricing. Soft lighting, soothing and gentle furnishing & decor provide perfect relaxation in all 35 rooms. All rooms are fully installed with contemporary amenity and equipment to ensure you a relaxing stay with us. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Orbitz, Hotwire, Expedia, Agoda, Booking.com, Travelocity, Hotels.com and Priceline so you can book your i-Hotel reservations with confidence.

PET Project spreads mobility
Thanks to a small Spokane nonprofit, 1,220 people in 95 countries have received the gift of mobility.
Since 2005, Inland Northwest PET Project has been creating and distributing Personal Energy Transporters from a hillside shop in Colbert.
A PET is a hand-pedaled vehicle made of lumber and steel. The sturdy parts and solid-core rubber wheels provide transportation in terrain that would prove difficult for traditional wheelchairs to navigate.
Dick Carpenter, 72, founded Inland Northwest PET Project after reading a blurb about the international organization in the newspaper.
"I had cancer and lost my law practice," the retired attorney said. He glanced around the bustling shop. "God gave me this."
The motto of the organization, "Lifting people out of the dirt into a life of dignity and hope," appealed to Carpenter. And when he discovered that many of the PETs go to victims of land mines, he found he'd come full circle. Carpenter is a Vietnam veteran who used to train soldiers in the use of land mines.
Pictures and testimonials from PET recipients dot the walls of the shop. "Every one of these people has a story," Carpenter said. "And we want to hear them."
He pointed to a photo of Ernesto, a Guatemalan man who contracted polio at age 7. Forced to crawl for 37 years, Ernesto found new life when he received a PET. He built a traveling snack shop on his sturdy vehicle and is now a proud entrepreneur. It's those stories that keep the 40-plus volunteers Carpenter has dubbed PET-kin coming back.
The bright colors of the PETs in various stages of construction catch the eye. The Spokane shop is the only place in the world where Rainbow PETs are built. No two boards are painted alike, and an eagle stencil adorns the backrest of each device.
Carpenter proudly pointed to PET No. 1,000 – a red, white and blue star-spangled beauty that's ready for shipping. "Bright and cheerful is our theme," he said.
While the sub-assembly and packing take place at the shop, many of the volunteers work on their contributions at home.
Harvey Lochhead upholsters the seats at home but enjoys catching up with his fellow volunteers when he delivers them.
"This meets needs I have and meets the needs of a lot other people," he said, referring to his desire to stay active during retirement years.
Volunteers' contributions are varied. "We have a 90-year-old lady who paints for us," Carpenter said.
She's also donated dozens of stuffed animals that are packed with many PET shipments. Depending on destination, products are packed heavy or light. Boxes packed heavy are filled with clothing, magazines, stuffed animals and things citizens of Third World countries find useful, like wire hangers and pill bottles.
When Carpenter ran into a former girlfriend at a high school reunion, she wanted to help, too. "She knits," he said. He held up a soft wool cap. "She's probably sent a couple thousand of these at least."
Every PET is shipped with the tools and instructions needed for assembly, operator instructions and a small New Testament donated by Gideon's International.
"We ship out every two or three months," Carpenter said. The PETs go to several triage points, like MedShare in California, and are then sent overseas. Recently, Inland Northwest PET sent 17 vehicles to the U.S. Navy humanitarian effort Project Handclasp. The Navy distributed those PETs in Nigeria.
Retired engineer Maurice Feryn oversees the sub-assembly operations and helped perfect the PET's unique chain system. He tears up when he thinks about the outcome of their efforts.
"When I think about how easy it is for me to get in my car and drive up here," he said, then paused. "And then I think about the people who get these – how one PET can change a person's life."
While committed volunteers like Feryn donate their time, the materials needed to craft these vehicles are not cheap.
Local fabrication shops that used to donate steel have backed off. With the steel, wood and other materials, each vehicle costs $250 to build and ship.
Carpenter is blunt. "People can donate lumber or steel, but cash keeps the wheels turning."

Best in Arts of 2009

Because science continues to lag behind my imagination,the consciousness-splitting self-cloning device is years away from completion, making it very difficult for any one person to experience all of the art Albuquerque has to offer. That's why any "best of" list of mine is going to be incomplete, at best. Still, it's worth a look back. Here are just a few of the notable events, exhibits, people and organizations of 2009.

Question: In patients with meniscal lesions of the knee, what is the diagnostic accuracy of physical diagnostic tests?
Data sources: Studies were identified by searching MEDLINE (1966 to 1999) and EMBASE/Excerpta Medica (1988 to 1999) with terms describing knee joint, knee, menisci tibial, and effusion. Bibliographies of relevant studies were scanned.
Study selection: 2 reviewers independently selected studies that were published in English, French, German, or Dutch; reported the accuracy of ≥ 1 physical diagnostic test for the assessment of meniscal lesions of the knee; and used arthrotomy, arthroscopy, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the diagnostic standard. Studies were excluded if they did not have a reference group, included only persons with positive test results, pertained to cadavers only, or considered physical examination under anesthesia only.
Data extraction: 2 reviewers independently assessed the quality of study methods and extracted data on the spectrum of lesions, number of patients, patients' ages, duration of symptoms, prevalence, sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios.
Main results: 13 studies (2231 patients) were included. The index test and diagnostic standard were assessed blindly in 2 studies. 9 studies used arthroscopy and 1 study used MRI as the diagnostic standard. Verification bias (i.e., patients with an abnormal physical test finding had a greater likelihood of receiving the diagnostic standard) was present in most studies. The Table shows the ranges for sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios for the joint effusion test (4 studies), the McMurray test (11 studies), the joint line tenderness test (13 studies), and the Apley compression test (4 studies).
Conclusion: In patients with meniscal lesions of the knee, physical diagnostic tests have low diagnostic accuracy.

Recently saw this headline in Time:-
"Katy Perry Admits She's Nervous to Perform at the Super Bowl".
To me "nervous to perform" sounds a bit strange.
My feeling is that "nervous of performing" sounds better.
I had always believed that saying "thanks for that" without a following noun or phrase was intended as something of a put down.
I'm not referring to its use in the form "Thanks for that information" or "Thanks for that wine you sent", but to the situation(s) where someone had said something inane or pointless, or had told an uninteresting story or a somewhat obscure joke.
One would then say "Thanks for that" followed by the person's name.
Tim: "This one time, I broke a pen and then fixed it again."
Me: "Thanks for that, Tim."
But now the phrase seems to be in general use with no irony attached.
Instead of just saying "Thank you" some people are now saying "Thanks for that" with no further qualification.
I read recently that there are those who feel that the word "rack" in the phrases "rack one's brain" and "rack and ruin" should perhaps be spelled "wrack", while others maintain that either spelling is acceptable.
I replied to a letter from a solicitor and in return got a letter beginning "Thank you for reverting to us so promptly". I have never seen "revert" used in this way. Is it a legal usage (in any sense)?
I am a cab driver and pick up people from all over the country/world and take them where they want to go. Boring disclaimer aside; I hope to understand a word used by a southern man that unsurprisingly follows a strong Christian background through his adult life. As mysterious as the story may be if time were allotted to tell it, or was applicable in this forum, he constantly referred to me as "hand." Not sure if this coincides with his Christian background, i.e. "The hand of God", or it is a long lost southern slang with a more ambiguous meaning.
Which of the following are okay to you?
a) While roses are red, violets are blue.
b) Whilst roses are red, violets are blue.
c) While some roses are red, many are not.
d) Whilst some roses are red, some are not.
e) Roses are red, whereas violets are blue.
f) Roses are red, while violets are blue.
g) Roses are red, whilst violets are blue.
h) Some roses are red, whilst some are not.
i) Whereas most roses are indeed red, some are not.
j) While I loved my first wife very much, she did in fact become fat.
k) While my first wife did in fact become fat, I still loved her very much.
l) Whilst I loved my first wife very much, she did in fact become fat.
And thus what, to your good mind, is the rule?
And what a pain English is!
I'm trying hard to figure out the differences and proper usages of these three particular words (primarily putative vs. supposed). Can putative (-ly) be used in the same spots supposed (-ly) can? What's the nuance between them?
"William and Kate had earlier attended a civic reception hosted by Perth and Kinross provost Liz Grant, where they were gifted an ancient map of Strathearn."
So we are told by the internet news service in Britain today. What is wrong with 'they were given as a gift' ... or 'they were presented with the gift of ...'? "They were gifted [something]..." sounds to me about as attractive an expression as the noise of fingernails scraped down an old-fashioned blackboard. Am I too sensitive? Should I wear earmuffs and eye pads?
Then we are told that 'they also visited Glasgow's Emirates Arena, a key venue in this summer's Commonwealth Games.'
Now, can someone tell me what the difference is between a venue and a key venue? How on earth did this bizarre word 'key' come to be bandied about, a meaningless cliche word everywhere? Who thought it up? What is the history of its etymology? What does its inclusion into a sentence add to its meaning? I had a boss once who talked at meetings of his 'staff' for weeks in advance about he would give a 'key speech' somewhere, and his audience would fall into a state of despond and despair upon hearing of this, for we thought we might have to listen to this 'key' speech, or pretend to, when the time came, and we never could understand what was to be 'key' about it; neither before nor after its rather hysterical delivery. Can anyone tell me, what does 'key' in this context mean? To me it just sounded like a puffed up, self-important and pompous description by a poop of his imaginary high status in the order of things, and I cannot reconcile this notion of what 'key' means with its use as a description of a venue in the forthcoming games. Does it mean 'important' or 'main', for if so, why not say so in the first place?
The English language as it is being published in the press is crumbling around us, and this short glance at the news tonight, one item only, is enough to prompt this contribution to your pages.
The media in English speaking countries seems to be developing a tendency toward using a country's name as an adjective.
Syria crisis instead of Syrian crisis
France fullback instead of French fullback
Another is the anglicising of some country names and nationalities:-
Argentina becomes Argentine and Argentinians becomes Argentines.
In his entry on 'try and do', Fowler calls it "an idiom that should not be discountenanced, but used when it comes natural".
What interested me was his use of 'natural' as an adverb. Oxford Online gives the example 'keep walking—just act natural', which sounds OK to me, if idiomatic.
There are examples from Dickens and Walter Scott of 'comes natural' in dialogues, where 'natural' is being used as an adverb, but Fowler's use here sounds strange to me. Any thoughts?

"I'm just saying"

In 1826 it occurs in print here:
Hearings Before Subcommittee No. 3 of TheCommittee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives, Eighty-first Congress,
as "I'm just saying that this is ridiculous and unfair".
As a stand-alone sentence, possibly about 1936.

*The two pictures are similar, although not identical.

"ask the gays"

Technically the grammar is ok; it is just that by using "the" one almost tends to suggest that all gays are one homogenous group who think alike. There is a discussion about this here:
"enamored with" and "enamored by"
- email@example.com
- July 23, 2016, 9:36am
I'm not at all surprised that no one cited from Oscar Horace's second (1913) publication, "Word and Phrase Sources and Usage: Adjectival and Advebial Etymologies and Preposition Connectors," which he dedicated to his father, Horatio, and his daughter, Amelia.
Horace explains the French usages, as for instance ), "Je suis amoureaux d'Amelia.," of which the English translation is, "I am enamored of Amelia."
He was greatly surprised that, born of the English casual pronunciation of that phrase, an artisan created a tiny glazed bird he called the "Enamor Dove," to be used when words fail the suitor who wants her to be apprised of the depth of his love for her. (In marketing the artisan, at fairs, emphasized that the Enamor Dove exemplifies a a level of courtship that is far beyond the turtle dove stage).
Anyway, the Enamored Dove was oft-bought throughout the British Isles.
And, explains Horace, the product increased the popular usage of "I am enamored of."
Ultimately, Horace's 13 volumes of his word-usage explanations were replaced by more recent books authored by others beginning in the 1880s. Nothing replaced the Enamored Dove, and it was soon forgotten. Foolishly, Horace was against copyrighting and his volumes were not reprised. Libraries, always in need of shelf space, discarded the Horace 13 volumes or stacked them in their basement. Apparently, none of them now exists, either.
Luckily, a friend from Cambridge U, Divad Saratla, visited Washington, DC and was introduced at a party to a huge defensive lineman and they became fast friends. When David learned about his new friend's verbal deficiencies caused by dyslexia, he showed one of the Horace volumes to him, of which the football player became enamored. David gave to him all 13 of the Horace volumes.
I have no idea if any volumes are extant. After years of contacting the usual suspects (forgive me, Sam), and as I now unable to continue, I suppose that Horace's works, to the extent some still may exist, are lodging in a few private homes.

Speedwell - I understand "affected overcorrectness" and "we don't use accent marks in English." But it's nice to have a clear difference between "re-zoom" and "rez-oo-may," and the accents clearly eliminate any ambiguity.
Pled versus pleaded
- Allan Lolly
- July 19, 2016, 1:32pm
In court, it is common for attorneys and judges to state someone "pled guilty" in the past. I was a criminal prosecutor as well as defense attorney for years and I rarely heard the utterance, "pleaded," in oral discourse. I'm not sure what global marketplace carries more weight than daily use in the courtroom.
Hi all vs. Hi everybody
- John Kunal
- July 18, 2016, 8:41am
I have never understood why we address "Dear". I prefer using it only for personal mails only. Like family and friends. Refering to the discussion here may I suggest "Hello xyz team" on professional mails. Usage of "Hello all" is certainly not the correct way but a more assimilated and tolerated approach.
Is "much" plural?
- czachi prieto
- July 17, 2016, 6:38am
Past tense of "text"
- Melony
- July 14, 2016, 8:45pm
I can not bring myself to say "texted". It sounds grammatically incorrect. I use "text", in past, present and future conversations. It may not be correct, but I have not found anything to say what "is" grammatically correct. I will continue my way until it is proven wrong!
What is the word for intentionally incorrect spelling?
- Hestia
- July 12, 2016, 7:38pm
The word for an intentional incomplete sentence is ellipsis, and the word for 'writing in an accent' (ex: ya'll) is diction, if I remember correctly. Not sure if there is a term for intentional improper spelling, though...
