The UTEP Miners and the Arizona Wildcats have reportedly scheduled a home-and-home football series for the 2017 and 2018 seasons.
Bret Bloomquist of the El Paso Times revealed the Pac-12/C-USA match-up yesterday, but did not have specific dates or locations for the series.
Arizona and UTEP have met 51 times since 1916. The Wildcats lead the overall series 38-11-2 and have beaten the Miners 12 straight times dating back to 1971.
The contest would be the first announced non-conference game for both schools in 2017. UTEP is also slated to visit Colorado State in 2018, while Arizona has no set games.
Arizona opens the 2013 season on Aug. 31 at home against Northern Arizona. UTEP has a bye the first week of the 2013 season, and will then host New Mexico on Sept. 7.
Football Schedules
Just another example of why Arizona has never even appeared in a Rose Bowl. Trying playing up in your competition. Schedule 2 BCS opponents every year and then your players will have to play up to their level. I'm not a fan of Arizona but this is an outside eye looking at the program.
Have to agree,UTEP isn't a team that causes anyone to buy tickets for…
UofA and UTEP has a history of being rivals, so why shouldn't play one another? Another thing, UofA will get into the Rose Bowl! Go Catts!
I am glad Arizona is playing UTEP again. I miss the old WAC. Hopefully, there will be more games in the future.

I'm working with a child class of the 2011 theme and I can't get the <--nextpage--> tag to work. I've tried adding
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?> into page.php where it ought to go (between

Does anyone have any advice?
PS: I'm not looking for a plugin fix. Unless I'm completely off, this should be a one- or two-line fix that shouldn't require that heavy lifting.

It is easy to see that
However you can prove in similar way that
The inner one is redundant, the outer one of course not.
The outer one is not redundant, because the square root of a number x only results in an integer if x is a square number.
The inner one is redundant, because the square root for any number in the interval [x,x+1[ (where x is an integer) always lies within the interval [floor(sqrt(x)),ceil(sqrt(x))[ and therefore you don't need to floor a number before taking the square root of it, if you are only interested the integer part of the result.
Intuitively I believe the inner one is redundant, but I can't prove it.
You're not allowed to vote me down unless you can provide a value of x that proves me wrong. 8-)
Edit: See v3's comment on this answer for proof - thanks, v3!
The inner floor is redundant
The inner floor is redundant. A proof by contradiction:
Assume the inner floor is not redundant. That would mean that:
for some x and d where floor(x) = floor(x+d). Then we have three numbers to consider: a = sqrt(x), b = floor(sqrt(x+d)), c = sqrt(x+d). b is an integer, and a < b < c. That means that a^2 < b^2 < c^2, or x < b^2 < x+d. But if b is an integer, then b^2 is an integer. Therefore floor(x) < b^2, and b^2 <= floor(x+d), and then floor(x) < floor(x+d). But we started by assuming floor(x) = floor(x+d). We've reached a contradiction, so our assumption is false, and the inner floor is redundant.
If x is an integer then the inner floor is redundant.
If x is not an integer then neither are redundant.
The outer floor is not redundant. Counterexample: x = 2.
floor(sqrt(floor(2))) = floor(sqrt(2)) = floor(1.41...)
Without the outer floor the result would be 1.41...
If the inner floor were not redundant, then we would expect that floor(sqrt(n)) != floor(sqrt(m)), where m = floor(n)
note that n - 1 < m <= n. m is always less than or equal to n
floor(sqrt(n)) != floor(sqrt(m)) requires that the values of sqrt(n) and sqrt(m) differ by at least 1.0
however, there are no values n for which the sqrt(n) differs by at least 1.0 from sqrt(n + 1), since for all values between 0 and 1 the sqrt of that value is < 1 by definition.
thus, for all values n, the floor(sqrt(n)) == floor(sqrt(n + 1)). This is in contradiction to the original assumption.
Thus the inner floor is redundant.

Old High Church
Despite its Celtic roots, the present church building mostly dates back to the 18th century, although parts of the Bell tower from the 14th century remain, and is notable for its restored Willis Organ and Iona marble chancel. Along with its long history of worship, the church was also used as a prison and execution ground after the Battle of Culloden in 1746. Regular Sunday services are held in the Church year round.

Peristaltic Pump
More compact and with lower feed capability than the Flex-Pro A3 and A4 units, the A2 peristaltic metering pump is suited for smaller-capacity municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment applications. Features include self-priming, a one-button prime mode, a degassing design that eliminates gas and air accumulation in the pump head, and a maximum feed of 33.3 gal per hour.
Protecting Our Resources
Harvesting and reusing rainwater is not only a way to supplement water supplies, it also helps protect vital water resources from pollutants that storm water runoff carries into them. As concerns about water pollution and the impending global water shortage grow, it is increasingly important for everyone to take part in conserving and protecting drinking water supplies.
The Keys to a Healthy Pump
The initial purchase price of a pump is just a small part of its actual life-cycle cost. Whether your pump application is municipal, commercial or industrial, the long-term costs can result in a much larger investment. Luckily, there are steps you can take to minimize this investment and increase your pump's life expectancy by following proper installation and maintenance procedures.

Stayed here pre and post a Jordan tour as it was our tour groups hotel choice. From reading the reviews I was a bit hesitant about staying here but upon arrival it was better than I expected. The rooms were clean, spacey and the staff were friendly and were happy to recommend good restaurants. Yes it isn't in the centre of town but Amman is so spread out it didn't matter...it was only 2-3JD for a taxi downtown! Breakfast was decent and there is a general store, pharmacy and ATM just outside the hotel. I recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a bit more than budget but nothing too flash...and besides there is too much to see in Amman anyway!

I maintain several different WP blogs and have come to really love the platform. My primary business website is NOT based on WP, but does have a WP blog associated with it (the blog is at http://www.scraster.com/blog). I'd like to move the HTML website to WP and have the blog and website live on one install/DB, but I can't figure out how to do it without totally spilling my Google juice!
I have worked very hard to attain my high page rankings for my target keywords with both my website and blog. Does anyone have any idea of how I can move them both to my domain's root and retain as much of my hard-earned Google rank as possible? Thanks very much.

Campus Food:
The staff can be very very rude.
Campus Housing:
It's not the best but it's ok
Campus Food:
Meal plan locations are terrible. Food trucks are great though, and a better value. So is the food court by the tech center.
Campus Housing:
Liked temple towers, thought it was spacious and a very good deal, especially because it came with a full kitchen with lots of space. 1300 was not a good deal, it was very crowded, layout of bedrooms was not space efficient in some cases (was in a double suite, not apartment style), the thermostat didn't work and I hated that you couldn't manually unlock doors because I would routinely get locked out of my bedroom while in the bathroom.
It is the end of April and yet I am a returning student still awaiting my finical aid package. I submitted my fasfa on January 26th, yet the only feed back I get from Temple is that I need to submit my fasfa or it has not been processed yet. In addition they do not incorporate off campus housing on a tuition bill to ease the process of getting a loan, even though they do not have nearly enough on campus housing for students.
Campus Food:
The food is absolutely terrible. Half the time you swipe into J&H and they hardly have any food out and you can't get your meal swipe back so you're stuck eating pizza and burgers that give you a terrible stomach ache. It is way too overpriced for the quality of food we receive and next to impossible to eat a meal without having a stomach ache after.
Campus Housing:
Some dorms on this campus can be nice, I unfortunately got put in the oldest building on campus that is still in operation. The security is relatively tight, which is appropriate because we are in a high crime rate area. The cost is not worth the living conditions it is $7000 and we deal daily with uncleanliness, bugs, not functioning heat/ air conditioning. The housing process is difficult and not guaranteed even for freshmen.
Campus Food:
There are so many options that even went I want to comnplain I don't let myself. J&H sucks. Morgan is really good. The sac is good for lunch. The worst part about it is the staff-- they aren't very nice.
It's not that hard to get a scholarship from temple.
Off-Campus Housing:
There are always apartments available for rent or sublet. Doesn't matter if you're one person or 5 people. You want to stay as close as you can to campus for safety reasons but the prices go up a lot the closer you get.
Off-Campus Dining:
I usually end up going to the pizza place a block away from me. They're open super late night on the weekends too!
They aren't strict about much from my stand point. If you get enough underage's you could get kicked out, however cops don't usually give many out they just tell everyone to go home.
Party Scene:
There is always a party somewhere on campus no matter the day of the week. Someone is always turning 21 or having a birthday so there will always be a celebration. But most of the time people just have parties because they can.
The financial aid office does not know what they are doing and the line is always extremely long.
Campus Food:
Because it is a city school, there are around 30 food trucks and many restaurants to eat at.
Campus Housing:
I do not, nor have I ever lived in campus housing. Strictly because of the price. I live in an off campus apartment because it is cheaper for me.
Off-Campus Housing:
I'm living on campus but there are many nice off-campus housing which are walking distance from school
I feel comfortable walking around campus and feel safe.
Campus Food:
I do think it is a waste of money sometimes when the meals don't carry away when I don't use them.
Campus Housing:
Living on campus is convenient because I can easily get to classes by walking. I live in a dorm which just built last year so the facilities are brand new. Therefore living condition is good but social atmosphere can be distracting since some students would violate the rule and bring alcohol in the dorm
Off-Campus Housing:
There are a bunch of places that a student can live in but steer clear of University Village. I lived their my first year and I hated it. It was loud, dirty, and the building itself was falling apart.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are a lot of off-campus dining places that taste really good. Cosi is one of my favorites. The only downside is that most of these places are on Broad St which can be a little dangerous at times.
It really depends on what day and what people are currently working. Some professors are very focused on honor but many professors don't really care. Parties are not usually broken up because there are always parties on the weekends. I believe that their policy is basically, everything is cool because its your/your parents' money. But if you have an emergency call 911.
Party Scene:
Most of the parties are loud with a lot of drinking and smoking, but most of the people are well-mannered and going to a party is apparently very good at releasing stress.
It is very difficult to talk to a financial aid adviser and often times they get confused as to a possible solution. The best tip I can give is to do a lot of research on your own and only go to the office if absolutely necessary.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Overall, Temple has its ups and downs, but students seem to love it all the same. On the downside, there can be some head-butts with tyrannical teachers, unfriendly cafeteria workers, and the always-frustrating financial aid office. Housing can cause an enormous hassle, and those commuting have to battle with parking or public transportation. Some people don't feel as though they are prepared for the real world once they leave campus, but others say it's been an incredible learning experience. Those students that love their experience at Temple all have their own reasons. Some love the atmosphere and found it to be a lot of fun. Others found it to be a great place to grow up and discover themselves. Lots of students take away more from living in a big city than they do from the University. But one thing it seems most students agree on is that the people at Temple University are what really make it a worthwhile experience.
In general, students coming to Temple have big expectations, from both the school and the city. Those that graduate either feel that Temple met their expectations, or if it didn't, then it was their own fault for not pursuing more opportunities while they were there. Most students feel that Temple provides them with the opportunities that make their college experiences excellent—as long as they are willing to make use of them.

[LINK] "Reporting Srebrenica: Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil"
Transitions Online hosts an article by one Antonela Riha looking at how the Serbian mass media chose not to cover the massacres following the fall of Srebrenica, and why.
[B]y merely browsing the most influential dailies and weeklies, such as Politika, Vecernje Novosti, Politika Ekspres, Nasa Borba, NIN, Vreme, Duga, and Intervju, as well as news programs (Dnevnik) produced by TV Belgrade, it becomes clear that the majority of media in Serbia did not pose any questions or investigate the events in the war regions. For them, Srebrenica was merely another episode of the war in which victims were taken for granted and were no longer counted.
Serbian public broadcaster RTS took literally what Milosevic said about being interested only in achieving a "just peace" and having nothing to do with the Serbs across the Drina River. The most popular TV show of the most powerful media house, TV Belgrade Evening News at 7:30 (Dnevnik), did not include a single video from Srebrenica or any other war zone until 30 July.
On 11 July 11, TV Belgrade commenced its news program with a report on the visit of Prime Minister Mirko Marjanovic to some harvesters. It was only on the following day that TV Belgrade viewers would learn that something was going on some 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the Serbian border: in the 11th minute of the news they could hear Yasushi Akashi, special UN envoy to Bosnia and Herzegovina, saying the UN was not going to intervene in Srebrenica, and UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali saying UN peacekeepers were not going to retreat from Bosnia.
For days, several minute-long packages were broadcast in the middle of the news, with international officials announcing various peace solutions and a conference of the major outside powers leading the negotiations, with images of EU envoy Carl Bildt, Akashi, and another UN envoy, Thorvald Stoltenberg, sharing the settee with Milosevic. There were no sound bites from any of the players, with only statements being read to viewers.
Nor was there a single statement from or footage of a Bosnian Serb official, either soldier or civilian. The only frame showing Srebrenica that was broadcast during those 20 days was a video playing in the background of a TV comment by Tatjana Lenard on 23 July that featured the landscape of the town and UN vehicles, which could have been filmed at any time.
[LINK] "Germany set to recognize genocide in colonial Namibia"
Al Jazeera reports on the noteworthy impending recognition by Germany of the campaign waged againdt the Herero of then-German Southwest Africa as genocide.
German authorities are set to officially recognize as "genocide" the colonial-era crackdown in Namibia by German troops more than a century ago in which over 65,000 ethnic Hereros were killed.
Talks with Namibia on a joint declaration about the events of the early 20th century are ongoing, and it isn't clear when they will be concluded, German Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer said Friday.
The basis for the German government's approach is a parliamentary motion signed three years ago by Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, stating that "the war of destruction in Namibia from 1904 to 1908 was a war crime and genocide," Schaefer said. Steinmeier was an opposition leader at the time, and the motion didn't pass.
German Gen. Lothar von Trotha — who was sent to what was then South West Africa to put down an uprising by the Hereros against their German rulers in 1904 — instructed his troops to wipe out the entire tribe in what is widely seen as the 20th century's first genocide, historians say.
On Oct. 2, 1904, Trotha issued a proclamation: "Within the German boundaries, every Herero, whether found armed or unarmed, with or without cattle will be shot. I shall not accept more women and children. … I shall order shots to be fired at them."
Rounded up in prison camps, captured Hereros and as well as members of the Nama tribe died from malnutrition and severe weather. Dozens were beheaded after their deaths and their skulls sent to German researchers in Berlin for "scientific" experiments.

when you unrar the files you usually end up with the files in a folder inside another folder. make sure there is only one folder holding all your skin files.

2008 Juan Williams, Thy Sin Is… Timothy Egan's?!
posted by January 17 at 9:05 AMon
I recently criticized Juan Williams for not identifying HRC supporters as such when they were asked to comment on Obama's campaign. Now the New York Times' Timothy Egan has committed the same sin:
When [voters] see black this or black that even a positive black first its trouble.
I say this from the experience of having followed as a reporter two of the most talented African-American politicians in the land Norm Rice, the former Seattle mayor, and Ron Sims, the chief executive of King County, the 12th most populous county in the United States, which includes Seattle. In their earlier campaigns, race was not a factor because people were too nice, in our Northwest, Scandinavian-liberal tradition, to bring it up.
And so it seemed reasonable that both men could step up. Rice ran for governor, and so did Sims, in separate open elections. Rice lost to a man who became Americas first Chinese-American governor. Sims lost to a woman.
In both cases, barriers were broken. But the ceiling seemed to remain only for blacks. What happened to them is what could lie ahead for Obama.
Hes got to stay away from race, said Sims when I spoke to him this week. Hes got to stay away from it. Race remains the one thing a black cannot talk about openly in a political campaign in this country.
Sims endorsed Hillary Clinton in September.
Besides that, Egan's tale seems like a radical oversimplification of the Gregoire-Sims primary race. Remember, Sims broached the sacred income tax question? But in any case, identifying Sims as a Clinton supporter would have sufficed.

In theory, the Honda Fit's second row — with bottom cushions that fold up for added storage on the go — sounds like a winner. After driving a Honda Fit for the summer and loading the backseat with my two school-age boys and all their stuff, it's a wannabe neat-freak's nightmare.
As one of the judges in Cars.com's $16,000 Subcompact Shootout, I was impressed with the Fit's ability to carry cargo of all sizes; the flip-up cushions allow the Fit to haul taller items, like a kid's bike. The rear seats are hinged at the seat bight, where the back and bottom cushions meet, and the front of the bottom seat cushion is supported by foldable metal legs that remind me of a lawn chair.
It sounds great, but it's that design that has caused all sorts of problems in our family car, which serves as a rolling locker room for my baseball-playing son and his father (the coach).
In many backseats, there's no storage space under the bottom seat cushion. In the Fit, the space is oddly shaped — so far, I haven't found a bin that will fit securely under the seats — and it seems to create a black hole for kids' stuff.
Here's what I found in our Pit of Despair (as I like to call it) in one end-of-summer cleaning:
On the plus side, when my boys were thirsty while in the car recently, they dug around in the black hole and managed to find an unopened bottle of Gatorade. Maybe the Pit of Despair serves a purpose occasionally.

Pre-treatment of plants with foliar sprays of 0.2, 0.5 and 2% phosphite restricted colonisation by Phytophthora cinnamomi in inoculated stems of Adenanthos barbiger and Daviesia decurrens, and led to a reduction in the isolation of P. cinnamomi from these stems in comparison with unsprayed plants. In plants treated with 2% phosphite, P. cinnamomi was not isolated from D. decurrens but was isolated from 22% of the stems of A. barbiger. In Xanthorrhoea preissii, colonisation by, and isolation of, P. cinnamomi from inoculated roots was not significantly affected by pre-treatment of the foliage with 0.2, 0.5 and 2% phosphite. Very low concentrations of phosphite were detected in the roots of X. preissii (maximum mean of 2.2 μg/g dry weight), in comparison with the phosphite concentrations measured in the foliage of A. barbiger and D. decurrens plants treated with phosphite (maximum means of 80 and 871 μg/g dry weight, respectively). Treatment with 0.2% phosphite resulted in minimal phytotoxicity in each of the three species, whereas treatment with 2% phosphite led to the development of severe phytotoxicity symptoms. This study indicates that phosphite has potential for the management of P. cinnamomi in native plant communities.

Asian Pork Patties
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 12 mins
This recipe - by Rodney Dunn - is from the March 2001 issue of the 'Australian Good Taste' magazine. I have made these patties - served as a first course - with the chillis for guests who like hot and spicy food (and they've loved them) and for myself minus the chillis! Some useful conversions: 350g = a tad more than 11oz.; 50g = approximately 13/4oz.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 350 g ground pork (for Americans) or 350 g pork mince (for Australians)
- 1 small carrot, peeled, coarsely grated
- 50 g green beans, topped, thinly sliced
- 1⁄2 red onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 egg (optional)
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 long green chili, halved, deseeded, finely chopped
- 1 lime, juice of
- 1 teaspoon caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon peanut oil, extra
- 1 butter lettuce, leaves separated, washed, dried
- Place the ground pork/pork mince, carrot, beans, onion, coriander and 1 tablespoon of the fish sauce and optional egg (if using) in a bowl; use your hands to mix until all the ingredients are well-combined; divide the mixture into 12 portions and use your hands to shape each into 2cm-thick/3/4", round 5cm/2" patties.
- Heat the oil in a large pan, preferably non-stick, over a medium-high heat; add half the patties and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until they are golden-brown; transfer the cooked patties to a plate, cover loosely with foil and set aside; repeat with the remaining patties.
- Meanwhile, place the chilli, lime juice, sugar, extra oil and the remaining fish sauce in a small bowl; stir to combine and set aside.
- Place lettuce leaves on the serving plates; top with the patties and drizzle with a little of the lime mixture; serve with the remaining lime mixture.

Taste great.
I made these as an appetiser for a tasting night. Really delicious little babies!!!
Delicious and inspired little patties! I served this as a main course, although I originally intended them as appetizers. They can go either way. Made as directed and loved how all the flavors came together. Since DH only eats iceberg lettuce (I personally would have preferred the butter lettuce!) and since I served as a main course, I shredded the lettuce. Oh, and I did use the egg since I'm an egg person! Thanks, BlueMoon DownUnder! Made for PRMR.

On the Set: Adam & Eve's
On the Set: Adam & Eve's
James Avalon shoots latest vignette-based title
Posted Jun 04th, 2007 00:00 AM by
Marc Star
We're high atop the mountains overlooking Porn Valley and Paola Rey is on fire. Literally.
While Derrick Pierce is busy with his face in between her legs, Paola leans her head back, letting her flowing brunette locks brush against the candles resting on the table behind her. Instantly the mix of hair products and candle flame ignite into a crackling flash of orange-red fire.
Paola jumps up, throws her head forward, sending her mane up and over, extinguishing the small blaze through the air and leaving little more than a puff of smoke cascading briefly over her.
"Oh my god," Paola calmly exclaims. Her quick reaction has kept the singeing to a minimum. And after a quick trip to the make-up chair, Paola is back on set without any noticeable damage — as if nothing had happened.
Shortly after, the only sounds echoing through the hilltop mansion are Paola's howls as Pierce bangs her forcibly enough to make the house shake.
Paola's scene is just the warm-up, however, because the main event is Adam & Eve contract star Ava Rose. The movie is James Avalon's
and Ava is getting ready for a three-way with Faith Leon and Marco Banderas.
Shortly after Paola's scene ends, Paola is busy giving Banderas a big hug ("You didn't tell me it was Marco the Spanish guy!" the Brazilian ex-pat excitedly says) Ava Rose is coming down the staircase in little more than a bra and panties that seem to disappear into her healthy backside and James Avalon is explaining to me the premise of
"This is a lingerie, light fetish movie about beautiful women, changing lingerie, teasing and seducing guys," Avalon says. "Everything is visually erotic, from the first moment of each scene all the way through to the end. It's a nice gradual build to some hot sex. And we've had some hot sex."
Hot, perhaps, is an understatement considering the brief drama during Paola's scene.
is a vignette-based title and it is the final movie of Ava's one-year contract with Adam & Eve.
"It's my first vignette movie since signing with Adam & Eve," Ava adds after sauntering over. "And I'm really looking forward to working with Faith and Marco."
Prior to signing with Adam & Eve, Ava had only been in the business for roughly six months, beginning in February of 2006. She made her way to Porn Valley from Alaska with a brief stop in Nevada where she worked at a sporting goods store and stripped on the weekends. It didn't take long for this gonzo newcomer to get noticed and become one of the fastest rising young stars in the business. In July 2006, Adam & Eve snatched her up and next month she will be re-signing with the company for another year.
"I do not want to go back to gonzo," Ava says. "I like living the contract life. I don't want to be over-shot."
When Ava talks about her career in porn, she does so humbly, almost as if she is surprised that anyone would be interested. But judging by the way her career has gone, there is more than a little interest.
"I never thought I would ever get into porn or stripping or anything like this," Ava says. "I always felt I was too shy. But once you reach this point you just go for it. And I've gotten a lot further than I expected."
"Ava is a lot of fun to work with," Avalon adds. "She is really good natured and laid back."
Banderas makes his way over to Avalon to show him the outfits he has brought to set. Avalon chooses the grey suit with the white shirt and I ask Banderas how many times he's popped today.
The last time I saw Banderas he was finishing up a marathon, five-scene, six-pop day.
"I did one scene already today," he tells me.
"That's it?"
Banderas heads upstairs to change into his suit and Ava adds, "Marco is insane. That guy can go and go and go again."
Soon, the lighting is rigged on set and Ava, Faith and Marco are all lying on the bed in the master bedroom getting ready for their scene. Avalon heads upstairs, walks into the bedroom and gives the performers one very important instruction.
"Okay," Avalon tells them, "nobody catch on fire."

The Doctor: What?
Rose: So I could come back. (The Doctor grins) Shut up. Anyway, suddenly it started to work and the dimensions started to collapse. Not just in our world. Not just in yours, but the whole of reality. Even the Void was dead. Something is destroying everything.

Any autonomic system must implement mechanisms to automatically capture the most significant information about the internal state and also adapt the monitoring system to internal and external conditions. We refer to these activities as self-inspection and we consider them in the context of Internet-based services that are subject to workloads characterized by burst arrivals and heavy-tailed distributions. The large majority of the mechanisms driving these systems must take fast decisions on the basis of past and/or present load conditions of the system resources. In this context, self-inspection requires an adequate representation of the load behavior of the system resources that makes it possible to perform good actions under soft real-time constraints. In this paper, we show through a large set of experiments the need of basing load analyses and decisions on linear and non-linear models, such as the exponential moving average and the 90-percentile models. All the considered models are applied to a multi-tier Web-based system that is instrumented with suitable self-inspection mechanisms at operating system level. However, the results can be extended to other Internet-based contexts where the systems are characterized by similar workload and resource behaviors.
