| It would be a match made in QB heaven
Certain writers who shall go unnamed, such as me, could spin the game as Good vs. Evil: The Sequel, with Favre bringing his honest down-home-boy image against Shady Brady's suspicious Hollywood slickness. (Of course, Favre is a skilled media manipulator who cultivates the aw-shucks aura, and Brady does charity work for African development -- please don't spoil my narrative with these annoying qualifiers.) Merely the privilege of seeing two of the best-ever quarterbacks face off when both are playing at peak form would be worth the price of admission. Or, of the many multiples of the price of admission such a game would command on StubHub. TMQ Cheat Sheet .
Who you gonna call? Ghost Hunters
CORPUS CHRISTI A team of eight ghost hunters prowled the parapets flanking the Ritz Theater stage Saturday, some holding magnetic field meters while seeking a female usher's spirit that is rumored to have startled balcony patrons decades ago. The Gulf Coast Ghost Hunters also stalked the stage using parabolic microphones and infrared digital video cameras, trying to snare evidence of a stagehand spirit recently reported. "It looked like a man," said Cynthia Saenz, 51, a draftsman who was inside the former picture palace with renovators last week. "Then it just dissipated." Case manager Patrick Zapata and his brothers began investigating paranormal existence in 1992 by taking a cassette recorder and camera to cemeteries at night. "Being touched for the first time by something you cannot see is something I will never forget," said Zapata, 33, a bridge inspector for the state.
As Cavaliers wait for new players from trade, they sign 2 others to ...
James has not yet commented on the megadeal, which Cavs GM Danny Ferry said was necessary to give his team a shot at an NBA title. It was strange watching the Cavs exit the practice floor without any sign of Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden, Donyell Marshall, Ira Newble, Shannon Brown or Cedric Simmons. "I was sad to see those guys go," center Zydrunas Ilgauskas said. "We'll have to see how it all works out." The four newest Cavaliers must pass physicals before they can play. And even if they're cleared, they won't make their Cleveland debut until Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies. In the mean time, coach Mike Brown has to make due with what he's got. Fortunately, he's got James. "We do have LeBron," he said. "So that does help out." Browns understands it may take time for his revamped team to mesh.

But the expectations for Amazon's infrastructure service for uptime may be unrealistic. Amazon is not enterprise-ready–99.99 (52.6 minutes of downtime annually) or 99.999 (5.26 minutes of downtime annually). At least Amazon has a service level agreement. The SLA states that Amazon will "use commercially reasonable efforts to make Amazon S3 available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage (defined below) of at least 99.9% [8.76 hours of downtime per year] during any monthly billing cycle (the 'Service Commitment'). In the event Amazon S3 does not meet the Service Commitment, you will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below."
