Avifile is a library that allows you to read and write compressed AVI files in most common video & audio formats (Indeo® Video, DivX, etc.) under x86 Linux. Compression and decompression are performed with Win32 DLLs. It includes a simple AVI player and a Video4Linux capture program. Currently it is under heavy development, and while some features (such as AVI playback) already work, some (audio compression) are not yet successfully implemented.
bttvgrab is a program for grabbing video sequences using a bt848-based frame grabber card (e.g. Hauppauge WinTV, Miro PCTV...). The goal of bttvgrab is to provide high-quality grabbing suitable for video recording. Currently, this is accomplished by trying hard not to leave out a single frame, and to catch temproary delays by buffering several frames. In the future, synchronized sound will be part of it. Then you can create mpeg movies using mpeg2enc, the output files will be prepared for that, so that the conversion can be done by a simple shell script.
mgadvd is a Matrox G200/Zoran 36700 hardware MPEG decoder driver for Linux. It allows you to play MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and DVD streams through the Zoran 36700 Vaddis III decoder (connected to the G200) with very low CPU usage. Supported DVD audio formats are AC3 (Dolby Digital) and PCM. Included is a player app called mzplay that plays DVD directly from the disc as well as MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video and audio (Layer II only) files.
Mjpeg tools is a suite of programs which support video capture, basic editing, playback, and compression to MPEG-1/2 of MJPEG video. The capture software allows MJPEG video streams in AVI, Quicktime, and movtar format to be produced using the Iomega Buz, Miro DC10+, Matrox Marvel, and similar hardware. The editing and playback tools are hardware independent, with support for hardware accelerated playback if present. The MPEG compression tools are based on MPEG Software Simulation Group's reference encoder with enhancements to provide far faster compression and significant quality improvements.

State Fair announces theme: 'Deep in the Heart of Texans'
Clap clap clap clap.
Clap clap clap clap.
Crews worked Tuesday to disassemble Fair Park's colossal cowpoke so he can rest a spell before next year's fair.
The State Fair pushed through to end Sunday with near record numbers after rain dampened the turnout on several big days.
Paul Lauder's image of a young contestant sleeping next to her pig at the State Fair of Texas caught the eyes of The Dallas Morning News photo staff, and was chosen as the grand prize winner of the Official State Fair of Texas Photo Contest, hosted by neighborsgo.
Crews worked Tuesday to disassemble Fair Park's colossal cowpoke so he can rest a spell before next year's fair.
State Fair of Texas visitors reflect on their favorite parts of this year's event.
Muriel Clayton has attended the fair for decades. She remembered its history Thursday, and a lot of her own.
Through innovation and attention to detail, he leaves a legacy of a cleaner, safer fair that attracts more people every year.
Code names, tarps and limited circles of trust were among the tactics keeping Tex from the public eye before his debut.
A fair obstacle course challenged their skills to promote the National Geographic Channel's show "Doomsday Preppers."
Citing the rainy weather, State Fair officials announced Monday that Columbus Day school tickets will be valid through Sunday, the last day of the fair.
After 25 years, the popular attraction and its beloved host, Steve Martin, are saying goodbye to the fans at the band shell.
But it's UT's fans who have the better part of celebrating the tradition this year.
As the Sooners prepare to meet Texas at the Cotton Bowl, some alumni have paid for an I-30 billboard to voice their displeasure.
Texas and Oklahoma fans show up for the Red River Rivalry game no matter the rankings.
Errol McKoy brought the Texas-centric event into the 21st century while maintaining its rural roots.
For more than 20 years, Glenn Smith has booked rising Texas performers and big names to play to the fair's crowds.
A reader attends and shows how to keep your head on straight when there's chaos all around you.
The State Fair of Texas officially wrapped up on Sunday, Oct. 20. Our photographers were there since day one, capturing the scene.
Did you know he has a waist size of 434 inches?
About 40 artists are in Dallas from China working on the Chinese Lantern Festival exhibit that will be displayed at the State Fair. The artists live together, eat together and work together seven days a week. Most of artists are part of two large families and their skills have been passed on from generation to generation.
With the determination to try "anything fried," eight GuideLive and Pegasus News staffers headed to the State Fair to say howdy to Tex 2.0 and stuff our faces.
The Week 1 winner: Nearly 100 photos were submitted to neighborsgo.com over the first weekend of the State Fair of Texas Photo Contest, and Melissa Sheehan of Dallas won with her photo of an owl flying low in front of the Texas Star Ferris wheel.
African birds run neck and neck in the Pan American Arena's latest attraction, which has quickly become a fan favorite.
He sold for a record $110,000, giving Saige Martin, 10, bragging rights over her brother, who raised last year's winner.
In the days before the unveiling, hours of preparation and effort went into making the State Fair icon's return a reality.
Dottie Love returned to Ennis with ribbons from the State Fair of Texas, "maybe $15" in winnings and some new friends after showing her miniature zebu cattle over the weekend.
Interactive graphic: We can rebuild him. We have the technology. He will be better than he was before. Bigger, stronger, with more features.
The first time I ever saw Big Tex, I must have been 2 or 3, and the dude scared the bejeezus out of me. If you want to know the truth, I still find him more than a bit creepy, like something out of Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone.
Sue Rainey, who has more than 700 ribbons, starts on her recipes over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays and refines them throughout the year.
Size isn't the only thing that makes these cattle different. The breeder considers them a part of her family.
I agree with foodie queen Cathy Barber: Some of the best shopping at the State Fair of Texas is in the Pioneer Brand General Store in the Food and Fiber Pavilion.
Although the fairgrounds offer ample parking, mass transit is likely to be the fastest option.
Since early in the year, workers at two companies in the San Antonio area had the task of re-creating the beloved icon.
The men and women, sworn to secrecy, sweated the details at facilities in San Antonio and nearby Boerne, determined to deliver the Big Tex of our memories.
His movements are more fluid, and his face has silicone skin with a more realistic jaw that drops under the ears.
Officials credit R.L. "Bob" Thornton, the State Fair president who later became Dallas mayor, with the Big Tex concept.
A year after fire destroyed the original statue, the new one wowed the crowd the first time he said 'Howdy, folks!'
Precautionary measures go beyond what state law requires, with multiple layers of inspections.
Officials had sought to block any glimpses until the unveiling Friday, but high winds forced them to drop the curtain early.
People who don't know why the State Fair's congenial cowboy is a big deal may never be able to understand, Jacquielynn Floyd writes.
There will still be a "welcome back" ceremony at 2 p.m. tomorrow, but State Fair officials unveiled Big Tex today after high winds threatened to tear the massive curtain around him.
Meet you at Big Tex again for a new year of fried food, livestock and midway adventures.
Fans will be able to see artifacts, historical documents, photos and videos, but no picture of the icon in flames will be shown.

'The City': Erin Kaplan gets the job done with or without Olivia Palermo
Kaplan, however, is quick to assure us that her co-star hasn't affected her day-to-day life at work as much as it may seem.
"My actual job at Elle hasn't changed at all, it's just kind of doing another job on top of that when we're filming," she tells Zap2it. "I'm making sure that I deliver on everything that I did before the show."
In fact, Palermo isn't around the Elle offices all that much. Though she's frequently featured on Elle.com in red-carpet photos, we'd be hard-pressed to find a piece she worked on as an editor, aside from her interview with Anna Sui that aired on "The City." When we ask whether Palermo is ever at Elle when the cameras aren't on, Kaplan says, "We're in two separate departments. She contributes to the Accessories department."
With her consistent refusal to compromise and her ever-condescending tone, Olivia may seem like a character fabricated for the purpose of the story. Kaplan says that's not the case: Olivia isn't any different on the show than she is in real life. "They obviously edit for dramatic purposes, but they never tell us to say anything. Everything you see us say and do actually happened as you see it."
Kaplan is the only cast member on "The City" who is seen only in the context of her career. MTV cameras never follow her home, out on dates, or to social events with her friends. "It's definitely a conscious decision on my part," she says. "We talked about having my family come on, and I just... I don't want to make this a sob story at all, but it's hard to hear negative feedback about yourself. As difficult as it is to hear about me, it would be that much harder to hear it about my family or my friends."
When a reality TV star claims to be protective of her personal life, we can't help but be a little skeptical. "I know it's a contradiction," Kaplan admits, "but I'm a very private person." In fact, Kaplan almost didn't agree to do the show at all. "I had a lot of hesitation about it. It took a long time for me to finally make the decision, but eventually, I decided it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in terms of my career."
Kaplan has always made her career a priority. Even before "The City," she was the youngest PR Director in the history of Elle Magazine. "Right now I definitely want to stay at Elle. We're celebrating our 25th anniversary in September," she says. That doesn't mean she isn't planning for the future.
Recently, Kaplan met with "The City's" matriarch, PR guru Kelly Cutrone, to discuss her future in public relations. "She gave me some advice," Kaplan says. "She told me about how she started her own company when she was young. She let me know where she came from and what she thinks I should do. I value Kelly and I'm envious of her career. I think she'd be great to emulate. You'll see what happens."
As for the rest of this season, Kaplan hopes she'll get a chance to break away from Palermo a bit -- and we don't blame her. "I knew going into it that I'd be tied to Olivia," she laughs, "so most of what you see is me dealing with her. But I've recently asked producers to show me working on my own a bit more. I mean, I understand it's a television show and it's meant to be entertaining, so they're not going to show me sitting at my desk sending out press releases, but I do much more than that, and I'm hoping to see it on the show this season."

i think your so great erin! i can't stand olivia at all!!! every time i watch the show, just the way she talks and everything about her is so fake and seems like she tries to act so smart but it just comes out like shes dumb!i really wish they would fire her and hire that girl you picked..she is so much more professional and just seems more classy especially for elle! olivia comes off as nervouse and very unprofessional!
Love watching you on The City. Only painful thing is watching you having to put up with Olivia. She should have been fired a long time ago!
Love Erin, can't stand Olivia! Olivia is a fake vindictive immature spoiled ... I think Erin handles her self superbly! I wish Joe would see the damage Olivia causes and that in many ways she is hurting the magazine. I won't buy the magazine or have anything to do with it until Olivia is fired! She's very vindictive and jealous of Whitney.

Tenma® 16~30 Watt adjustable soldering iron
I've used two of these over the last several years. Together with the 21-1025 conical tip, the wattage adjustment makes it very useful for the closely spaced pins of SMD chips and very small parts, as you can set the temperature to melt the solder without burning up the pads or components. However, you cannot leave it plugged in continuously on your bench, as the barrel heat will eventually degrade and crumble the plastic handle where the barrel is attached, and the fine point tip will gradually 'evaporate', leaving a blunt tip. When this one gives up and dies, I expect to replace it with the same model if it is still available.

Skies will become a little cloudy overnight, as temperatures drop into the 60's after midnight.
The forecast for Wednesday looks mainly cloudy, with a few showers developing during the day.
It still does not look like a complete wash-out for Wednesday, but plan on passing showers mainly in the afternoon and early evening.
Temperatures should still manage to recover to the upper 70's or lower 80's during the day.
After the weather moves through, skies will clear out for Thursday and slightly cooler weather will be in place for a few days.
Daytime highs will be in the lower 70's on Thursday, with a chilly morning coming on Friday. Low temperatures will dip into the 40's on Friday morning.
The weekend weather still looks good, as high pressure builds back over the state and plenty of sunshine returns. Highs will be in the 80's this weekend.

Parents of tweens, I know what your kids will want to go along with their new clothes and backpacks before school starts up in a few weeks: a cellphone.
Cellphones arent just for adults anymore
July 20
By STEVE ROSEN
The Kansas City Star
Or, if they already have one, a superfast upgrade.
Not too many years ago, kids had to wait until high school to get a cellphone. It was a rite of passage. But now more parents are providing tweens children ages 8 to 12 with wireless devices, and in such numbers that marketing experts call this age group the new growth market for cellphone carriers.
A study released earlier this month by the National Consumers League underscores this trend. The study found that nearly six out of 10 parents of tweens said their children have cellphones.
This survey clearly shows that the use of cellphones is now becoming more entrenched at an earlier and earlier age, said Graham Hueber, senior researcher at ORC International, which conducted the survey of 802 parents of preteens.
And the marketing efforts probably wont end with preteens. Need proof? Just stroll down any toy aisle and youre bound to see the pretend plastic trainers for little tykes.
I understand why parents are buying cellphones for younger children. Its a sign of the times. Working parents are always on the go, and so are their kids.
As the National Consumers League survey noted, most parents are arming their kids with phones for safety reasons and to be able to track their whereabouts after school and on weekends. Thats why I changed my mind a while back about whether pre-high-school kids needed their own phones.
Certainly, peer pressure plays into buying habits, the survey noted. If tweens see their friends talking on cellphones, theyll probably be asking for one.
While more families are providing cellphones for preteens, the cost of the service is catching them by surprise.
About a third of households earning under $50,000 and 23 percent of households overall said they are paying more for the phones than they had expected.
As a result, these parents said they are exploring ways to control costs, including switching to prepaid plans, putting limits on texting or deactivating the service.
Still, 92 percent of the parents surveyed said they are spending less than $75 a month for the service. Most preteens also are on their parents family plan.
Having that first phone is also an opportunity to introduce your child to budgeting. Its fine to let them pay part of the monthly bill.
If youre thinking of buying a cellphone for your son or daughter, the National Consumers League suggests going over these questions first:
• Why does your child need a cellphone? For emergency use? Entertainment? To communicate with friends?
• How much do you want to spend for the phone, and for the monthly service?
• Whats the policy on cellphones in school?
• Is your child mature enough to use the phone responsibly and avoid viewing or sending inappropriate content? (Consider filters that block content.)
• Is your preteen in the habit of losing things? Can he handle the responsibility of caring for a phone?
When you start shopping, take your youngster with you to see which phones and features he or she likes, said John Breyault, vice president of public policy, telecommunications and fraud at the National Consumers League.
But, Breyault said, the last thing you want to do is to buy the first phone you see. Study the market.

Comments On Mar 13, 2013:I usually wear an extra large but had to reorder an XXL in these gloves because they were too tight. I would rate these gloves as average as far as protection of the knuckles and overall fit. Not outstanding but okay.

LIBN web editor and noted boulevardier Henry E. Powderly II recently observed that eggnog is an alcoholic concoction one can drink with no fear of becoming inebriated.
"You throw up long before the alcohol can take affect," Henry said.
That might be unfair to the traditional Christmas comfort drink. But the editor/ bon vivant is dead on if you've ever had a warmish glass of white sugared glop speckled with brown dust and based on booze that should only be used to replenish the Sterno canisters under the casserole.
Punches made from a recipe of fortified wine – sherry or port – and milk with a beaten egg and spices have been consumed in northern Europe since a confused person mixed up his breakfast. When the tradition came to America in the late 18th century, rum replaced wine with happy results. The name could have derived from egg and "grog," another name we Yanks used for rum. But another idea might be that the drink got its handle from "noggin," a carved wooden mug used in taverns.
Eggnog came into its own during Colonial American winters. It became one of George Washington's favorite winter tipples. He devised his own variation which included heroic shots of rye whiskey, rum and sherry. (First in war, first in peace and maybe first to get legless at the Christmas party).
To come up with a couple of quarts of formidable and spicy eggnog which won't produce puzzled expressions but get your party off to a jolly start, try this tried and true recipe:
6 eggs
1 cup of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (grind it fresh and stop looking in the back of the pantry for that dented tin of whatever)
1/3 cup of dark rum — go for the good stuff such as Myers or Gosling's Black Seal
3/4 cup of brandy
2 cups whipping cream
2 cups milk
Beat the eggs unmercifully until they're highly frothed and then beat in the sugar, vanilla and toss in the nutmeg. Add chilled brandy, rum, cream and milk. Chill well and anoint each serving with more fresh nutmeg.
For those still averse to eggnog, LI Living asked a couple of local mixing magicians for their favorite holiday drinks.
Mike Flood, who presides at the Rein Bar and Bistro at the Garden City Hotel, has come up with a scrumptious alternative to the ubiquitous 'nog.
Mike calls this a Chocolate Egg Creme:
2 oz vodka ( he suggests Stoli)
1 oz dark creme de cocoa
a hefty squeeze of Hershey's chocolate syrup
2 oz whole milk
Shake with ice and pour into a frosted pilsner glass over ice. Top with a splash of club soda and garnish with chocolate shavings.
Not to be outdone, Alex Mouzakitis, who is a mixologist extraordinaire at the Babylon Carriage House is keeping spirits high by creating his Peppermint Patti:
Rim a martini glass with chocolate syrup and place in the freezer
Mix one part white creme de cocoa with a good helping of vanilla vodka and two dashes of Rumpleminz
Shake with ice until well-chilled
Remove martini glass from the freezer and add Godiva Chocolate Liqueur to the bottom of the glass and add the mixture.
Garnish with a mini-candy cane
For New Years, the good folks at Long Island Spirits in Calverton, who produce the only Long Island potato vodka, LIV (rhymes with five), suggest an all Long Island New Years cocktail:
2 oz LIV vodka
A bottle of 2005 Wolffer Estate Sparkling Brut, Blanc de blanc
Pour the LIV into a shaker filled with ice and shake it and your moneymaker vigorously
Strain into chilled martini glass and fill with champagne
Finish with a few raspberries
To brighten the year's longest nights, try what keeps conversation flowing all night in Ireland, a medicinal beverage called a Hot Whiskey:
2 oz good Irish whiskey, Jameson's, Bushmills or Tullamore Dew
one thick circle slice of lemon
3-4 cloves
a dash of sugar (optional)
In a mug or cup pour in the whiskey. Stud the lemon circle with the cloves, add to the mug and cover with boiling water.
Test your patience for a minute or two so the lemon and cloves can do their work.
Find someone to toast with. Count your blessings and 2009 will be off to a splendid start.
Got a favorite holiday recipe? Let us know.

The Aberdeen University/Civic Symphony and Northern State University College Choir with guest baritone Chad Shultis will perform Five Mystical Songs by British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams at its Feb. 26 concert.
The work celebrates the Easter season, and is very appropriate for this concert, which falls near the beginning of Lent. Timothy Woods prepared the 130-voice NSU College Choir for this performance. This is the largest college choir the university has fielded in many years.
The Easter holiday has been the inspiration for innumerable musical masterpieces, including such works as J.S. Bach's Easter Cantata and Saint Matthew Passion, Haydn's Seven Last Words of Christ, Rimsky-Korsakov's Great Russian Easter Overture, Richard Wagner's Good Friday Spell from Parsifal and Beethoven's Christ on the Mount of Olives, to name a few.
Vaughan Williams' Five Mystical Songs is a 20-minute choral/orchestral work based on the poetry of George Herbert. The five movements are titled Easter, I Got Me Flowers, Love Bade Me Welcome, The Call and Antiphon.
Herbert was a 17th-century poet and Anglican priest, and all of his poetry is of a religious nature. His contemporary, Richard Baxter, wrote of Herbert: He speaks to God like one that really believeth in God, and whose business in the world is most with God. Heart-work and heaven-work make up his books."
Williams himself was an agnostic, but that did not prevent him from composing this work. The songs were originally composed for voice and piano, and later transcribed by the composer for baritone, chorus and orchestra.
Williams, who lived from 1872 to 1958, drew the texts from Herbert's collection of poetry, The Temple: Sacred Poems, which Herbert wrote in 1633. Also at the concert, the orchestra will perform Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy. It is one of Tchaikovsky's most popular instrumental works and is considered his first masterpiece.
The concert begins at 7 p.m. at the Johnson Fine Arts center. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for seniors. All students are admitted free of charge. Tickets are available in advance at Engel Music in downtown Aberdeen and may be purchased at the door.

While the forum skin is being redone, I have two requests that I hope to get integrated. I will post them in two different topics, so they can be easier addressed and discussed.
Recently, several of the forums where I regularly participate receive large number of posts every day. It seems currently the forum lists 30 discussions by default.
Sometimes topics that have been posted or updated during the past 24 hours are three pages back! For each topic to view we have to click the Next button twice, as there is no direct link to page 3. Each topic we reply to is moved back to the top of the forum, so the oldest unanswered topic will always remain on page 3.
This wastes a lot of unnecessary time. So my request: can we have an option to increase the number of topics listed per page? By user, of course, not generally for everyone.
I have wondered for years why it is not possible to have the option to look back more than one page at a time. Other sites have this option, but perhaps it is too complex for Jive?
Sometimes I know that an anower is back 5 or 6 days, but to get there you have to press next 5 or 6 times.
Why not have the pages listed as 1 2 3 4 5 6 <previous NEXT > ?? That way you could jump up to 6 days at a crack.
I have suggested several times to implement something like this -common in other forums I frequent- in these forums, but without success:
This is particularly useful in lists extending for many pages.
And I don't understand Dave's "it's not possible". Other forums I frequent do allow one to vary the number of items per page.
Are you asking about the overview page: http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/forum_comments?view=overview
or the Discussions page: http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/forum_comments?view=discussi ons
Curt Y wrote:
In the drop down box if left corner you can select 15 30 50 items per page.
I have never noticed that! If I select 50, I get this URL
http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/forum_comments?view=discussi ons#/?per_page=50
and if I change ?per_page= to 100, I have the result that I wanted.
Thank you for that very useful observation!

Will Ritalin Become the Human Growth Hormone of Sports Concussion Testing?
by Irvin Muchnick' Apr. 18' 2011
Here�s a story you may be hearing a lot more about in six months or six years: National Football Leaguers � followed by college, high school, and youth league football players � soon will be gaming corrupt Pittsburgh Steelers/World Wrestling Entertainment doctor Joseph Maroon�s �ImPACT� concussion management software system by taking the amphetamine-family drug Ritalin before being retested to assess their recovery from head injuries.
According to one concussion expert I�ve spoken with, this has already started happening at the NFL level. And of course it makes perfect sense. Ritalin is the medication prescribed most notoriously for �hyperactive� kids and sufferers from ADD (attention deficit disorder), with the goal of improving mental focus. Inevitably, professional athletes and their handlers would seize on Ritalin�s ability to mask the fact that they hadn�t entirely �cleared the cobwebs� from recent blows to the brain. (The phrase in quotes was used last week in an admirably candid interview by Fox TV commentator Terry Bradshaw, 62, discussing how concussions during his own Hall of Fame career have proceeded to impair his quality of life.)
With the assistance of a doc with a promiscuous prescription pad � if not simply a friendly pharmacist who doesn�t need to get too rigorous about the whole script thing � a player who �got his bell rung� can ease the process of identifying whether the diagnostician in front of him is holding up three fingers or four. Which, in more technologically sophisticated form, basically describes the ImPACT program that Maroon and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center colleagues have successfully pushed on the sports establishment � aided by authoritative-sounding articles in journals such as Neurosurgery.
Yet somehow this same class of esteemed researchers went 74 years between the 1928 discovery of dementia pugilistica (�punch drunk syndrome� in boxers) and that of chronic traumatic encephalopathy in athletes in other contact sports. It took a Nigerian-born forensic pathologist, Dr. Bennet Omalu, to come across the latter almost inadvertently in autopsies of retired Steeler Mike Webster and others. Since Omalu wasn�t well-connected or sufficiently coached in how far he was supposed to go in his scientific conclusions, his follow-up articles on CTE got unofficially blacklisted from Neurosurgery until very recently.
Meanwhile, Dr. Maroon � pillar of the community, 70-year-old ironman competitor, supplement huckster � forges on. Two weeks ago he advised World Wrestling Entertainment star Edge that he should retire because of a damaged neck, eight years after WWE paid for the wrestler�s cervical fusion surgery. Last year non-star wrestler Charlie Haas had been advised by his own doctor to consider the same operation. But Maroon, according to Haas, then said naw, it was just a �stinger� (the broken neck�s analogy to a �rung bell�), and WWE quickly released Haas. These are all �independent contractors,� you see.
Though I�m hard on Maroon, I am somewhat sympathetic about the shortcomings of ImPACT. People who know a lot more about the subject than I do say it�s a decent tool. �I use it to scare players and their parents when they get complacent about a concussion,� a high school trainer explained to me. �ImPACT does establish a baseline of certain neurological functions, and it has value. But concussion management is still a subjective thing.�
The problem with ImPACT is that it was overhyped as a solution, at the expense of attention that should have been paid to more central considerations: prevention and unbiased, uncommercialized basic research.
The result, I fear, is that medical paraprofessionals like this trainer, and all of amateur sports in America, will find themselves in the same pickle with concussions that we already face with steroid abuse. (That�s assuming there is any more such a thing as an amateur sport � which anyone who last week viewed the PBS Frontline documentary on high school football might be led to question.) In recent decades, elaborate specialized cat-and-mouse protocols were set up to test athletes� urine, but the most ambitious and resourceful among them simply moved on to human growth hormone, which doesn�t show up in their pee-pee.
Ritalin potentially is the HGH of concussion testing. I didn�t expect ever to find myself typing the words �I feel for Roger Goodell,� but the NFL commissioner has a point when he jawbones for HGH blood testing during collective bargaining with the players association. Now, in order to demonstrate responsibility for the health of its athletes and, more importantly, the overall gross national mental health, the league will have to do more than cite the very limited ImPACT system, along with the very limited and inaccurately targeted $20 million in research the league has spent � mostly to bolster the clinical-corporate yes men epitomized by Joseph Maroon.

It was an hour-long route using public transportation that went through some of Clevelands more iffy neighborhoods at the time, but it was a trek Guy C. Fabe made nearly every school day.
Now a partner in the Cleveland office of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, where he focuses his tax work on publicly held, multinational companies, Mr. Fabe commuted each day to St. Ignatius High School from his home in South Euclid during the mid 1980s. The daily trips proved to be an adventure, he said.
I lost some hats along the way, Mr. Fabe said. I lost some coats along the way.
Its the kind of loyalty that Mr. Fabe, 37, of Munson, has shown throughout his career. Formerly an accountant at Arthur Andersen, Mr. Fabe said he had been determined to stay on at the now- defunct accounting firm, even as a mass exodus was ongoing following its implication in the Enron scandal in 2002.
But after a couple of months, it became apparent to Mr. Fabe that he would need to begin looking for a new employer.
