ThePaceLine.com - Coach Chris Carmichael Since the individual climbing abilities of the top riders are somewhat similar, the most critical task on Stage 16 may be avoiding having a bad day. If the scenario from the Stage 13 individual time trial last year had occurred on Alp d’Huez, Lance Armstrong would most likely have lost five minutes or more. He is in better condition this year, and he is not suffering from chronic dehydration either, so I expect him to finish in the top three on Stage 16 and ride faster than several of his main rivals in the process.

“I’m Very Frustrated Right Now.”:
I don’t want this to sound like a rant against teachers. It’s not. By and large, the people I work with are conscientious, creative, compassionate teachers who do well by their students. And the deck is stacked against them in many, many ways as we all know, even at my school which would be paradise for most. But maybe Alan hit a nerve the other day when he started me thinking about this stuff. I guess I’m pretty frustrated right now, too…”
So if one (me) were to take on the task of creating a weblog system for teachers (probably starting with manila and building a set of plugins and other things for schools, how could I get my time paid for? I know I have the skills to do it, and and understanding of some of the issues and needs related to schools, but I would need to not work on some paid projects to do it. Ideas?

Phish Scams Fooling 28% of Users:
“Etaipo writes “Anti-spam firm MailFrontier Inc has done some testing with consumers to see if they could differentiate between legitimate e-mails and phish scams. The results, to me, were pretty shocking. The company also has provided a similar test on its web site. Get an answer wrong, and we revoke your geek license on the spot.”"

Contitional HTTP request in PHP - Doc Alex
Summary: I propose a free library — only one function — to handle the different kinds of conditional requests (304, 412), HEAD requests, and cache management at client and proxy level. In RSS/ATOM mode, allows filtering by date the articles server side, to transfer to the client only the new articles. No modification in the PHP or HTTP server configuration is needed. There is no need to add any software client or server side. In order to use it, the library has to be included at the top of the PHP script with a require() and one function has to be called.
A proposed method for sending conditional headers back to browsers from php. After reading this it really looks like a clean and simple implementation of this need. Will definitely look at adding this to some of my more experimental projects. Also found cgi_buffer that looks promising as well
