An Efficient Network-based Formulation for Sequence Dependent Setup Scheduling on Parallel Identical Machines
2013, Mathematical and Computer Modelling
B. Anderson, J.D. Blocher, K.M. Bretthauer, M.A. Venkataramanan
This paper compares the efficacy of a newly developed network-based mixed-integer programming (MIP) formulation with three existing formulations for the sequence dependent setup scheduling problem with earliness/tardiness penalties. This research shows that the new model is more efficient in terms of computation time for larger multi-machine problems than the existing formulations of these problems. The mixed-integer nature of the formulation allows companies to solve this class of problems with any one of many commonly available integer programming software packages. The presented MIP formulation provides a unique and useful method of conceptualizing and modeling a practical, yet difficult, problem within industry.

CENTENARY, Ohio — The streak continues.
The Eastern volleyball team claimed its 10th straight victory over host Gallia Academy Wednesday night following a hard-hitting 25-21, 25-16, 17-25, 25-20 decision in a non-conference matchup in Gallia County.
The visiting Lady Eagles (9-1) — winners of seven consecutive contests — trailed 1-0 in the opening game, then never trailed again en route to a commanding two-games-to-none lead in the match. The Blue Angels (6-5) rallied to take Game 3 by eight points, but EHS broke away from an 8-all tie in the finale to wrap up the 3-1 match decision.
Both teams recorded over 30 kills and at least nine blocks in the contest, as GAHS posted 34 kills, nine blocks and had five aces in the setback. Eastern came away with 31 kills, 12 blocks and 11 aces in the triumph.
There were four ties and five lead changes in Game 1, with the Lady Eagles claiming their largest lead of the opener at 12-5. Gallia Academy rallied to knot things up 16-all, but the guests countered with a 9-5 run to secure the four-point decision and a 1-0 match lead.
Eastern never trailed in Game 2 and led by as many as nine points, which happened on the final point — allowing EHS to earn a 25-16 win and a 2-0 match advantage.
The Blue Angels retaliated with an early 4-0 cushion and never trailed in Game 3, as the hosts extended their lead out to as much as 23-14 before claiming a 25-17 win — cutting the match deficit down to 2-1.
Both teams battled through four ties and five lead changes in Game 4, but Eastern took the final lead of the night at 9-8 and never looked back. EHS twice led by as many as six late in the finale and Gallia Academy was never closer than 11-10.
Lindsay Wolfe led the EHS service attack with 10 points, followed by Erin Swatzel and Maddie Rigsby with nine points apiece. Jordan Parker added eight points, while Kelsey Johnson and Katie Keller each contributed five points to the winning cause. Kaitlyn Barber also had four points for the Lady Eagles.
Rigsby led the guests with four service aces, followed by Wolfe with three. Johnson, Keller and Swatzel also added two aces apiece for the Eastern.
Kassie Shriver led GAHS with 12 service points and four aces, followed by Micah Curfman with seven points. Haleigh Caldwell, Jenna Meadows and Maggie Westfall each had six points in the setback, while Chelsy Slone chipped in four points and one ace.
Parker and Swatzel led Eastern with 10 kills apiece, followed by Rigsby with nine kills. Keller led the guests with five blocks, while Parker and Swatzel respectively contributed three and two blocks. Parker had a team-best 47 digs, while Wolfe dished out 29 assists.
Westfall led the Blue Angels with 15 kills, followed by Caldwell with 11 and Curfman with four kills. Slone recorded a team-best four kills to go along with two kills. Brooke Pasquale led the hosts with 16 digs, while Shriver handed out a game-high 32 assists.
On Tuesday, Eastern extended its Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division winning streak to 36 consecutive matches following a 25-8, 25-14, 25-15 decision over host Belpre.
Parker led the Lady Eagles with 15 kills, followed by Swatzel with 10 kills. Cline had a team-high 17 digs, while Wolfe led the passing attack with 26 assists.

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
Generously salt and pepper the chuck roast.
Heat the olive oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the halved onions to the pot, browning them on both sides. Remove the onions to a plate.
Throw the carrots into the same very hot pot and toss them around a bit until slightly browned, about a minute or so. Reserve the carrots with the onions.
If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the very hot pot. Place the meat in the pot and sear it for about a minute on all sides until it is nice and brown all over. Remove the roast to a plate.
With the burner still on high, use either red wine or beef broth (about 1 cup) to deglaze the pot, scraping the bottom with a whisk. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway.
Add in the onions and the carrots, along with the fresh herbs.
Put the lid on, then roast for 3 hours for a 3-pound roast. For a 4 to 5-pound roast, plan on 4 hours. The roast is ready when it's fall-apart tender.

Lost in Shangri-La: A True Story of Survival, Adventure, and the Most Incredible Rescue Mission of World War II
Lost in Shangri-La: A True Story of Survival, Adventure, and the Most Incredible Rescue Mission of World War II (Hardcover)
Indie Next ListMay 2011
May 13, 1945. Twenty-four U.S. soldiers stationed in Dutch New Guinea pack into a C-47 for a sightseeing trip over a lush, mysterious, newly discovered valley. Unable to navigate the dense tropical clouds and steep mountain faces, the pilot crashes the plane deep in uncharted jungle. Only three injured passengers, including a WAC, survive. How they attempt to save themselves while caught between Japanese troops and hostile headhunters, what happens when they encounter a Stone Age tribe that had never seen white men or women, and how they are finally rescued is at the heart of this amazing true story. -- Lisa Howorth, Square Books, Oxford, MS
On May 13, 1945, twenty-four American servicemen and WACs boarded a transport plane for a sightseeing trip over Shangri-La, a beautiful and mysterious valley deep within the jungle-covered mountains of Dutch New Guinea. Unlike the peaceful Tibetan monks of James Hiltons bestselling novel Lost Horizon, this Shangri-La was home to spear-carrying tribesmen, warriors rumored to be cannibals.
But the pleasure tour became an unforgettable battle for survival when the plane crashed. Miraculously, three passengers pulled through. Margaret Hastings, barefoot and burned, had no choice but to wear her dead best friends shoes. John McCollom, grieving the death of his twin brother also aboard the plane, masked his grief with stoicism. Kenneth Decker, too, was severely burned and suffered a gaping head wound.
Emotionally devastated, badly injured, and vulnerable to the hidden dangers of the jungle, the trio faced certain death unless they left the crash site. Caught between man-eating headhunters and enemy Japanese, the wounded passengers endured a harrowing hike down the mountainsidea journey into the unknown that would lead them straight into a primitive tribe of superstitious natives who had never before seen a white manor woman.
Drawn from interviews, declassified U.S. Army documents, personal photos and mementos, a survivors diary, a rescuers journal, and original film footage, Lost in Shangri-La recounts this incredible true-life adventure for the first time. Mitchell Zuckoff reveals how the determined triodehydrated, sick, and in paintraversed the dense jungle to find help; how a brave band of paratroopers risked their own lives to save the survivors; and how a cowboy colonel attempted a previously untested rescue mission to get them out.
By trekking into the New Guinea jungle, visiting remote villages, and rediscovering the crash site, Zuckoff also captures the contemporary natives remembrances of the long-ago day when strange creatures fell from the sky. A riveting work of narrative nonfiction that vividly brings to life an odyssey at times terrifying, enlightening, and comic, Lost in Shangri-La is a thrill ride from beginning to end.
About the Author
Mitchell Zuckoff's honors include the 2000 Distinguished Writing Award from the American Society of Newspaper Editors. His book Choosing Naia: A Family's Journey was a Boston Globe bestseller and won the Christopher Award.

TRENTON — A Jones Senior junior starting on both sides of the ball is ready to step up like it's his last season.
Glen White Jr. has been part of the Trojans' varsity squad since his freshman year and said it's going to take hard work and leadership to win games and possibly return to a championship stage.
He said the Trojans has plenty of both.
"It was fun, but we lost," White said about Jones Senior's NCHSAA 1A championship game run in 2011. They fell 21-6 to Murphy in the title game in Raleigh.
"When we went to state, I was up there; I started on defense," he said. "I decided I was going to step up this year."
He said the team's overall goal is to "try and get back this year."
White will start on both sides of the ball as quarterback and linebacker this season. He started playing football in New York before relocating to Trenton in the sixth grade. The three-sport participant said athletics kept him out of trouble growing up; he also plays basketball and runs track.
But football is his favorite.
"I just like it better than any other sport," White said. "It's physical and you can take your anger out."
Around Jones Senior, he said one of the few activities include playing sports.
Jones Senior opens its season Friday against Kinston, which won the 2A East Regional Championship in 2011. The Trojans' loaded schedule features several other teams with championship experience, including defending 3A champion Havelock, defending 1AA champion Southwest Onslow and Wallace-Rose Hill.
The Coastal Plains 1A, Jones Senior's conference, added two new teams this season in Pinetown Northside and Chocowinity Southside.
"We still play Southwest Onslow," White said about the additions, "and Pamlico is still going to be a big rivalry."
Although White has another year remaining under his belt, he said will push everyone else to work this season.
"(I'm going to) go at it like it's my last one," he said. "Take it one game at a time and just go out there and try to win and work hard."

The award-winning Litter-Lifter scoop is the fastest and easiest scoop for cleaning clumping litter boxes. The special wedge-shaped Peaked Blades (see image) don't pick up clean litter... they only LIFT out waste! This eliminates shaking and sifting clean litter over and over again. The Litter-Lifter glides through the full length of the litter-box without stopping to unclog clean litter.
The basket shape of regular scoops plus the weight of clogged sand trapped in the tines makes for heavy work. The Litter-Lifter is light and easy to use - it does not break up clumps because it gathers only waste from the bottom of the litter pan.
The biggest advantage is that the Litter-Lifter does not scatter clouds of litter-box dust like other scoops. The clean litter remains in the box- the Litter-Lifter moves through the litter-box and catches fragments that are trapped in the wedge-shaped columns.

I think it's sickingly sweet and cloying.
Thread: basenoters hating on 1 million
1 million is one of my top 10 designer scents, no question. it's one of my few perfect scores in the designer industry. i like it a lot, for many reasons.
i know a lot of people on basenotes don't like it, but i've noticed an overall change of attitude in the past few years. i'm not calling out specific people, but just observing a demographic (fragrance collectors).
in 2008-09, 1 million was praised at niche-status since it didn't sell in the US yet. then as it did, the hype train went to a screeching halt and now many people have been opposing 1 million in the most pretentious manner possible, associating it to frat-houses and wanting to be above it.
nobody likes to be alone, and some would rather flip-flop to accomodate the majority than to be alone. i've largely learned to avoid doing this, but sometimes i'm not perfect either. and i bet you've done something like that recently before. yes, yes i know you say you never do it. but you did.
if you dislike 1 million genuinely, i wholeheartedly respect your opinion. it's not for everybody. but i've just seen so much hypocrisy. i know i've been critical of him, but robes08 did dedicate an entire video to this topic and i agreed with most of what he said.
my biggest complaint is the one about perceptions of versatility. at first, basenoters and youtubers were proclaiming this as a fragrance you could wear anywhere. but then as more and more comments started coming in, describing this as a club fragrance and seeing this as a club-only fragrance, the frag comm (like the zombies they can be sometimes) changed its attitude under pressure.
1 million had a one word association to it that just stuck "club-scent". people assert this claim so dogmatically, yet it was not god-given nor inherent in the universe, but invented by people. i, PERSONALLY (but not objectively), feel that 1 million is suitable for daily wear. i just see the citrus and the heavier and spicer accords as a perfect duality between youth and maturity, smoothed out by cinnamon.
I agree that it's a powerhouse (you have to be very careful) but 1 full spray in the winter and 1 light spray in warmer weather is perfect. yes, you will be noticed, but you won't choke anybody if you keep it to 1 spray max (unless your skin doesn't project very well). it took me time to understand that it is the application that matters, but it does. while it isn't as versatile as ysl l'homme or millesime imperial, it is something that can be safe and pleasant if you are careful with the trigger.
it is a modern scent, so after it rides out its popularity wave (when that will be, i dont know) , maybe people will appreciate it again, for it's exclusivity.
I think it's sickingly sweet and cloying.
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
My one sampling of this one had be scrubbing within 30 minutes.
being new here my opinion most likely counts for very little (I stalked on basenotes for ages and learned alot but only recently joined to participate in a split)
When I first tried 1 Million in store on a test strip I really wasn't very impressed and pretty much just blew past it without a second thought, But I had heard good things so one night after work as I was about to head home I stopped in a decided to give it a try on my skin and it became a completely different beast once on my skin and I instantly changed my tune. The next day I went out and bought a bottle and have been enjoying it ever since.
Whilst I agree it works well as a club scent because a couple of sprays definitely has the ability to project and cut through the other competing smells in a club it is also able to be worn on other occasions, I wore it to work just the other day. We've had a lot of bush fires here in Aus recently and I woke the other day to the overwhelming smell of smoke in the air and it was just the right amount of sweetness to offset the smoke. I agree though for everyday where you need to go easy on the trigger otherwise it can become cloying.
I only like its drydown. Also, its parfum version (Absolutely Gold) is much better blended.
I personally have always been OK with it.
yea 1 million has the same amount of projection as aventus, more or less
while i agree aventus is slightly a little more safer (as its less sweet), both matter in the application.
noirdrakkar - shouldn't you be stoked that less people wear it?
Sure, it's still one of the best-selling mens scents, doubtless worn by many, but even if 400 BN members dislike it (regardless of their motivations for disliking it) that's 400 less people wearing, and possibly over-applying* a scent you really like.
Now I know that wanting a fragrance to be 'less popular' is viewed as kinda pretentious, and fragrance should primarily be worn for yourself, but there remains the possibility of being written off as 'generic' if you're wearing the same frag that every other person in town is.
Besides, it's not like 1Million needs extra sales to save it from being discontinued, and do you really mind if people on a forum who you've never met think a little less of you for liking a fragrance?
*Not that I'd accuse a BaseNoter of overapplying
I think 1 million smells pretty good but I don't intend on getting a bottle. My sister loves the scent so I find it a little weird to wear.
I didn't like it at all, way too sweet and fruity and odd for me.
People's opinions may have changed based on the people they know who wear 1 million... Rather than the scent itself.
If you see a lot of people that you dislike... Wearing a certain scent... You might have a negative view of it after that. That's just how most people are.
i did like it back in the fall. i take that back. i REALLY liked it in the fall. but since starting to work at macys at the suit section, ive had to measure many people who way overapplied 1 million over the past six months. this killed it for me. not the scent or anything about the fragrance itself, just the amount of people who overused it and who i have gotten into close proximity. your liking, and finding something you consider so great, i applaud. but i cannot like it myself anymore.
I bought, it rocked it for a bit, got rid of it, decided to give it another whirl and bought another bottle, wore it for awhile and haven't worn it much since. It's not that I don't like, but I find it to be kind of attention-whorish, as in it demands attention and has little to no subtlety about it, which I suppose is potentially desirable in certain scenarios and why I keep it around.
First time I was able to try it was this past summer. I loved it and immediately ordered a bottle. And while some might not like it from the start, I wouldn't find it odd if others developed an aversion to it over time. I once enjoyed Acqua di Gio, yet I can't stand it today.
and THIS.
Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!
"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
I dont mind to smell its sillage from far but when I tried to wear it, even few dabs were so ****** cloying, synthetic and bubble gum sweet that I had to wash it away after 1 hour.
+when I smell fragrance on some males (rare occassion) in 4 of 5 occasions, its 1 million. 1 million in my country is probably what Acqua Di Gio is in USA. Absolutely overplayed.

2. Lalique Encre Noire
3. Creed Millesime Imperial
TOP 3 cold weather:
1. Dior Homme
2. Eau Des Baux
3. L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme Extreme
First time I smelled it (not that long ago), it blew my mind. Bought a bottle instantly. I love it, but rarely wear it because it is so young and loud.
If 1 Million were a Frederic Malle creation, and no high school kid ever heard of it, it would probably get plenty of love here.
If you like it, wear it. I personally don't and won't. I consider it a bubblegum headache machine. I don't like hotdogs either, but don't sweat that many do (though I can't figure out for the life of me why ).

I first test smelled this fragrance a couple weeks ago. I think it's legit to call out our tendency to give more respect to artisanal houses and offbeat fragrances over mainstream and popular ones. I found 1 Million to be pleasant enough but rather unexciting and nondescript. I can't see myself ever seeking to wear it, but if I were stranded on an island and there was just one of those gold colored bottles there, I would probably use it. Some of the appeal of a fragrance is its originality and variance from what is commonplace. This appeal is, by definition, lost when a fragrance becomes popular. There is relativity, sensibility and taste are not absolutes.
I don't think it's hated, but rather in that Joop! Homme category. The niche crowd won't deal with the ingredient quality and those who like the rich, natural, complex, balanced scents will have little or no use for it. Those who wear such scents as 1 Mil regularly are much more likely to be out partying rather than typing up posts for fragrance forums. LOL.

I do not agree with it not being niche quality, so it gets no love.
When I started into fragrance this was one of the many hyped up smell that I never heard of and pretty much told I needed to get my hands on this, which I did then Bam! I could not figure out How in the hell is this considered great Great? It smells rancid!
Nice post noirdrakkar. This is a great example of how snobbish some of us have become here on BN. The quality of a fragrance should not be determined by its popularity. Luckily for me, I rarely smell fragrances on other guys, unless they apply them heavily. I happen to love the smell of 1 million, and it is my girlfriend's favorite, so it's an easy decision for me. Sure, it will become cloying and obnoxious as it screams, "attention whore" with over-application, but every fragrance does that; apart from the select few which cannot possible be over applied (gucci pour homme II, D&G The One). As with everything in life, all things in moderation. As with 1 million, it is easy to fill a 2ml splash vial every now and then and apply it manually with the desired amout. A little of this stuff goes a long way and when you apply a small amout to the neck, it will be difficult for anyone besides you to smell it unless they were very close to you. The popularity of a fragrance shouldnt deter you from enjoying it for yourself, or skew your perceptions of its quality based on the few who abuse its power. If YOU like the smell, then wear it proudly as often as you want. If YOU dont like the smell, then pass on it without looking back.
At my age, It feels like I'm committing a felony wearing it.
Your nostrils, which will dilate immesurably in unspeakable contentment, in motionless ecstasy, will ask nothing better for space, for they will be full of fragrance, as if perfumes and incense; for they will be glutted with complete happiness, like angels who dwell in the peace and magnificence of pleasent heaven.
(From Maldoror by Comte de Lautreamont)
one million is a great scent... haters that's just another matter...it's not beautiful what is beautiful is beautiful what you like!
sailing the Oceans of Boredom...
I found it to be absolute toilet way before I joined BN, so my opinion was not dictated by the Basenotes hivemind
I think it could have been a good frag with the notes listed, but it seems so distorted by poor balancing of the notes or low quality of ingredients. Perhaps it is because each of the three perfumers it took to create it, wanted to tweak it to their own liking or put their mark on it.
Or maybe all the money went to marketing and designing that shiny tacky trinket, instead of quality ingredients and wages for the perfumers
This of course being me subjective opinion and feelings towards the scent.
I actually really enjoy it, but hate that every guy in my area wears this.
The sense of smell, like a faithful counsellor, foretells its character.
In spite of the common outlook on this scent, I actually enjoy it and hardly care about the hype, the negative image etc., as long as I like its notes.
I don't think it's overly sweet like many others, actually, it has some spicy notes and leather in there, for sure. It's a good "fun" scent, like Magnetism, or Joop!. I see all of these as "clubbing" scents. Nice if you wanna be noticed for sure, but not very versatile. Regardless, a work of art imo, and a groundbreaking fragrance.
My Ultimate Top 5:
Fahrenheit (1988)
Paul Smith Man (2009)
Burberry London (2006)
Prada Amber pour Homme (2006)
Arpege pour Homme (2005)
Clearly with packaging like this it's for a very specific audience which doesn't include me. I do not like loud, shiny things.
The fragrance? It's loud, sweet and really nothing special at all. While I don't find it disgusting like some others do, I would just never spend my money on something like this.
One of the reasons it's labelled a club-scent is because many people who go clubbing wear it and indeed, one need only spend a few minutes inside a club to notice that many guys wear it for such occasions. Guys desperate to get noticed. Guys who wear gel in their hair and necklaces outside of their shirts.
It was a scrubber for me as I too found it way too sweet and cloying as mentioned by others. Its popularity, however, plays no role in my dislike. It wasn't for me, but as long as you like it, its all good.

i bought a 20ml bottle over a year ago and still have 18ml left lol,i think it's just ok 5/10..
1 Million is an attention whore. It screams attention whore in every way. I'm sure some people could wear it properly and not over spray, but putting something in the hands of someone who is used to spraying 6 to 8 sprays is like marketing pepper spray as a cologne. It's one of the sweetest fragrances you can put on which makes it polarizing. I think it does get bashed a lot on here, but if you like it then it shouldn't matter.
I kind of agree with you Noirdrakkar.
I don't wear it myself but as far as big hype, in yer face recent frags go I think it has to be number one.
Most people I know who have bought a scent recently have bought this one because they loved it and liked the fact that it "didn't smell old fashioned".
I sometimes wonder how I would feel towards it if I hadn't had a Basenotes education for the last year or two. (And if I wasn't in my forties).
Anyway my scent of the day is Worth Pour Homme.

It's to loud and sweet for my taste too.
I have no objections to the actual fragrance.
I have problems with the association of this fragrance. It's way too common and some of the people that I have seen wearing this have put me off big time.
Saying that, I may still one day decide to buy!
All the haters have spoken on my behalf.
One Million is a victim of its own success. It is not the most natural smelling fragrance, yet it is a good fragrance which is loved by millions of teenagers and mature men throughout the world.
I actually haven't sampled it, even though I guess I've had the possibility several times the last year. Some of the reason for that is definitely the reviews stating that this is a sweet and cloying fragrance.
At the same time, I'm pretty into the whole bottle-design and looks of my collection, and I'm wondering if I would even have it in my collection due to the looks. I know, judging the book by its cover is a terrible decision, but still, is it something in it when it comes to that beyond horrible package of a god damn gold bar?
I also associate it with people I really don't care for all that much. I'm not into the whole "clubbing" scene, and got fed up by it way back when I did some dj'ing here and there (just a couple of gigs, nothing major). For me, the clubbers often (but obviously not always) tend to be somewhat simple-minded in their likes and not likes. I'm pretty sure I don't want to be "one of them".
I should really try it out just to see if I like it, but I'd probably still try to find something similar with niche qualities rather than go for 1 million. Why? I tend to like those "last" 10% improvements a niche fragrance often brings over the designer equivalent (hello CW vs GIT etc).
I like the topic and the op's observations though, and I'm pretty sure lots of readers will develop a disliking to something if it's bashed enough, regardless of that being the truth about the fragrance or not. After all, it's all in the eye of the beholder, not Luca Turin or respected Basenoters.
Never smelled it. Also never understood why some people are obsessed with the opinions of others. If you like the scent, great! Otherwise, it looks like one has an issue with being accepted...

There are those who don't like it b/c they truly don't like the smell, fair enough. BUT there are always those who don't like it b/c it is popular with the common man. I like and own it. I get more compliments with it than from GIT.

I bought it when it first came out in the UK, enjoyed it for a bit but then a few years later stopped wearing it altogether.
I'm far from a fragrance snob, I don't own a single niche fragrance and I think the only one I've bothered to try is GIT. However the fact that every single little 16 year old kid is dousing themselves in 1 Million these days renders it unwearable for me. I don't care if that seems shallow that I associate what is/was an exciting youthful fragrance with a certain type of person but that's all it has become for me.
Perhaps in 10-20 years I'll sample it again and enjoy it, but when I see the type of people who attack everyone's personal space at clubs with this stuff I just can't enjoy it any more.
The sweet, almost butterscotch like note in this one is just a bit too prominent. Odd, as I think that same chemical is in one of my absolute favorites, Harrods Oud Patchouli, but there it feels more integrated to me.
I'm not calling out anyone in particular or pointing fingers, but I do sense the community as a whole, especially many of the big blogs, automatically give the short shrift to many scents based on the brand/heritage of the scent in question. Of course, their readership expects - dare I say almost demands such. I see so many scents slagged before they are even released if they come from a less prestigious house, and people lamenting things like the presence of a note du jour (eg: pink pepper) listed in the scent, while at the same time a Lutens or some other highly regarded brand launches with the same note, and everybody fawns over it and says things like "Oh, it sounds so interesting!"
The fragosphere, in general, is a huge echo chamber.

I have never "not worn" something I like simply b/c "kids" wear it. I generally only apply so that I can smell it, so I don't worry if others smell it on me, or others are wearing it. While not the longevity or complexity of a niche, it serves me well. Funny thing...I spent some time looking at wardrobes of some of those complaining that it was "sickly sweet" and they never wear sweet. Many of those same complainers own and like "sickly sweet" niche so...?

There's always a herd mentality within every community. Why should Basenotes be any different? It takes a strong individual to take a stand because he truly believes in it, not because it is expected of him. You love 1 Million and that should be the end of it. Why bother trying to influence a herd? Or does it get lonely being one of the few BNer who loves it?
Personally, I don't care for it. It's just not my preferred style. Clearly personal preference has nothing to do with what the rest of the herd think.
For all of you in Europe and elsewhere in the world, I understand whole heartedly why you would never wear or buy 1 Million. It has the same popularity in Europe as Acqua di Gio has in the United States. Now, I still rarely smell AdG on other guys, but guys in my area dont seem to wear fragrances all that often. The beauty with 1 Million here in the U.S. is that the target audience is males between ages 16 and, say, 25. This demographic will most likely not want to spend $60-$80 usd for a fragrance unless they are plugged into the fragrance community. We are still rockin' axe body wash, deodorant, and body spray. Thats all I really smell. So yu think way too many people have it, but go through an entire day at school or work or the gym, and tally the number of times you actually smell 1 million on another male. I would be suprised if it hit even 3 because I have only smelled it once in the past two years.
I think its one of the more cheap chemical smelling scents out there, Its very well targeted to a certain demographic (15-25) where its primary function is to be loud and noticable and obvious.
Its pretty much the antithesis of everything I'd look for in a fragrance in my early 30's and I don't find it a pleasent smell.
Never have (knowingly) smelled it. Too popular and disliking the bottle I have no urge to try it.
Also have not tried Acqua di Gio, Armani Code, The One, most Boss/Calvin Klein, etc...I'm stubborn like that lol.
I don't like or dislike the fragrance. What I really don't understand is the hate toward any perfume that results in rude rants about a particular fragrance or house. Hate is ugly. Expressing that hate in the worst possible way in any forum is simply a cry for attention. Does anyone really think that getting rude is really going to elevate your own status? Methinks not. If you don't like something, review it and tell us why. Leave the rudeness at the door. Just my opinion...

If you like 1 Million, enjoy it. You don't need basenotes approval. I like Corduroy by Zirh. I don't see THAT getting any love here, nor do I care. Why is there so much need for groupthink?
When I first started coming to basenotes last year, any question about which fragrances to try for going on a date seemed to be answered with Pure Malt and 1 Million. I never found Pure Malt locally, but when I sampled 1 Million I was blown away by how sweet it was. Way too sweet and way too loud for my tastes.
I think that 20 years from now, the fragrance community will look back on this era and think of hyper sweet scents with cheesy looking bottles as the parachute pants of perfumes. Way too loud, way too desperate for attention. There's a difference between wanting to smell good and needing to use one's scent as a bullhorn.
On the other hand, viewing scents like 1 Million and Gucci Guilty from a marketing standpoint, I think they're both sheer genius. They reinvigorate a brand with an influx of attention and younger customers.
Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!
"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
It's become a victim of it's own success in certain circles. Sure it's still a top seller but so are these cheap and tacky chinos I see everyone wearing around my age here in the UK, the majority think they serve a purpose and look good in them, but personally I can't stand them just like I can no longer stand 1 Million.
A better example (and one perhaps the US reader can identify with) would be RL polos. Seen as somewhat exclusive and fashionable for a number of years then preppy pre-teens get a hold of their parent's wallet and suddenly that's what the brand is more often than not associated with (For people the same age as me anyway).
It's just such an obvious fragrance, and personally whenever I smell it on someone now I just see a walking cliche, the same obnoxious 16 year old kid violating everyone's personal space.
Well, LBI, if I had zero concern about the opinions about the community, I wouldn't be here posting at all. And that applies to everyone here as well.
I think this is more representing of the overall attitude of niche vs designers. There are plenty of people who genuinely dislike 1 million (or have distanced themselves from it). But unfortunately, many people shift their opinion based on what the niche community programs them to believe.
I may like One Million because I'm younger. I'm 21. I'm more open minded than most of my age demographic, but in the end, I am younger. I don't know if I'll be wearing this when I'm 40, but for now, I see it as a masterful fragrance.

Peeking inside DoD's next version of Better Buying Power
Thursday - 9/20/2012, 3:54am EDT
Two years after the Pentagon introduced a package of acquisition improvement directives to the vast community of professionals who buy products and services for the Defense Department, some of the key tenets have taken hold and produced real results. Others have proved unproductive, according to the Pentagon's top acquisition official.
Frank Kendall, the undersecretary of Defense for acquisition, technology and logistics, in a wide-ranging interview on progress made through the department's Better Buying Power initiative, told Federal News Radio that concepts such as "should cost" management and affordability caps have made a genuine difference in getting more value from the Pentagon's contracting budget.
But among the two dozen areas DoD targeted in its 2010 Better Buying Power guidance, elements exist that haven't worked precisely as planned. Some will be abandoned and others will be revamped in a 2.0 version of the guidance due for release sometime in the next month, Kendall said.
|Why the DoD acquisition
process was rated More Progress Needed
Reason #1: Better Buying Power Initiative introduced
Reason #2: DoD sets affordability caps for individual programs so cost and schedule are fixed and the requirements meet those variables
Reason #3: DoD still faces struggles on path toward 'better buying power'
(More primary source material available on The Obama Impact Resource Page)
For these and other reasons, Federal News Radio has rated the Obama administration as more progress needed in delivering on expectations for support of federal employees. The rating is part of our special week-long multimedia series, The Obama Impact: Evaluating the Last Four Years.
"The whole idea of Better Buying Power was to implement a philosophy of continuous improvement. We made a number of attempts to get better results out of the acquisition system, and they were policies we thought had a lot of merit. We've had some successes, we've had a few things we didn't get the implementation quite right on, and we've had a few things we probably could drop."
The changes Kendall intends to make will include a more refined view of the department's push toward fixed-price incentive fee contracts, a vehicle the Pentagon thought was underutilized when the 2010 guidance was first drafted.
"We were concerned at the time that there might be an overreaction to that, and it turned out we were right," he said. "A lot of (contracting officers) leapt onto that as the schoolhouse solution because they thought it was the approved type of contract. But we always wanted people to think carefully about the right kind of contract to use in any given situation. We have a range of contract types for a very good reason. We have a lot of different types of situations. So we're going to moderate our guidance a little bit on that."
Additionally, Kendall said, plans to implement a preferred supplier program across the Defense Department have gone back to the drawing board.
Under a pilot program the Navy was testing at the time, after firms had won a contract, they could get favorable treatment with regard to special award fees and other considerations if they had shown a consistent record of "delivering quality products and services, robust subcontracting management, cost containment, and on-time delivery."
Frank Kendall, undersecretary of Defense for acquisition, technology and logistics
Applying the original Navy concept to the rest of the Defense Department proved unworkable, Kendall said.
"We could never agree on how to do it and how to measure and reward better performance," he said. "I think it's still an important thing to do, but we've had to retrench a little bit. We've handed it back to the Navy to take a leadership role on that one. We're further along than when we started, but we still have a ways to go."
But Kendall said other aspects of Better Buying Power have clearly paid off.
One central theme of the initiative was "should cost" management, the idea that acquisition managers should exploit every opportunity to squeeze unnecessary and unproductive costs out of their programs rather than assuming that the cost and schedule overruns that have plagued defense programs for years are an immutable characteristic of defense acquisition.
"The basic philosophy here was that we should not just accept the independent cost estimates as a self-fulfilling prophesy and assume that we'd spend to those levels," he said. "We should look at opportunities to reduce cost well ahead of time, and I think that idea has gotten across to the workforce now. It took a long time, but I think we've gotten a lot of success with that."
"From there, we can force the design to fit into that basket. We have to think not just the cost of the product itself, but the cost of that product across its entire lifecycle," he said. "What we started doing two years ago was to impose cost caps on our products for affordability reasons. We did that not just based on the cost of a product that people wanted to buy, but the amount of money available to buy any product. I think implementing affordability targets, both for production and sustainment is one of the things that's been fairly successful."
Kendall called out several specific programs as evidence that the Pentagon's emphasis on cost control has resulted in savings it wouldn't have otherwise seen, including recent multi-year purchases for MH-60 helicopters and the Navy's ongoing effort to trim its requirements and costs for the submarine that will eventually replace the current Ohio-class.
"But going forward, our task is going to be to actually enforce those caps," he said. "The operational and requirements communities in particular are going to have to accept the fact that they have to trade away some requirements that they'd like to have. That's going to be difficult for them. I think we've made progress there, but the most difficult work remains to be done."

In Emerald Cities: Urban Sustainability and Economic Development (Oxford, 2010), Joan Fitzgerald, Interim Dean of the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs, Northeastern University, argued that the key to urban climate change planning in the U.S. was to connect it to local economic development strategies. She examined opportunities in green building,energy efficiency, renewable energy, transportation and waste management. Almost three years later, the promise of green jobs has been a disappointment. Were the numbers exaggerated? Was our policy wrong? Or does real green growth potential exist? Fitzgerald examines these questions and reports on places and sectors where green economic development is real.

Club competitions
National team competitions
Greece concluded their improbable EuroBasket run with a convincing 78-62 victory over Germany to win the 2005 EuroBasket gold medal.
In front of a raucous pro-Greece sold out crowd of 20,000 at the Belgrade Arena, the Greeks used their trademark of teamwork, solid defence and strong outside shooting to claim their first gold medal since 1987.
Greece are commemorating the national team's EuroBasket 2005 gold medal triumph in Belgrade by issuing a series of stamps to recognise the achievement.
The stamps are being printed to highlight the latest feat and will be unveiled at a big ceremony in Athens on Monday.
As the dust settles on EuroBasket 2005, and basketball players return to clubs in Europe and North America to begin preparations for the new season, spare one last thought for the gold-medal winning Greeks, the side that had the most important of ingredients for victory in Belgrade.
Humility, modesty, there is no "I" in team - whatever you want to call it - the Greeks had it.
Team spirit, a commitment to defence and the excellent leadership of the legend, coach Panagiotis Yannakis, were an unbeatable combination for Greece at the EuroBasket.
According to shooting guard Nikolaos Chatzivrettas, Greece had them all in abundance in Belgrade.

- How to Read a Study Record
Gestational diabetes (GDM) is a condition that manifests as high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) during pregnancy in previously healthy women. It develops as a result of increased maternal body's resistance to insulin - a major hormone that allows for utilisation of glucose (sugar taken in with food) within cells. It was found out that GDM occurs more frequently in overweight women but also in women with a history of certain conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Usually, GDM disappears after pregnancy is completed but it is associated with some serious hazards for women and her unborn child, if untreated properly. Diet is a first-choice treatment but sometimes insulin therapy must be initiated if keeping a diet alone is not enough to maintain blood sugar within recommended values. Insulin therapy is effective but it requires several injections during each day and insulin is a strong acting hypoglycemic agent that may induce rapid falls in blood sugar, also dangerous for mother and unborn child.
In the investigators study, the investigators would like to investigate if metformin that is a commonly used hypoglycemic drug can be effectively used for GDM treatment. Metformin has been used successfully for a long time to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus and PCOS and, according to current data, it is not dangerous neither for mother nor for baby when used during gestation.

12 children per minute will die of hunger related causes.
20.8 children a minute
12 children
12 children under 5.
Each minute.
12 children under five die every minute
12 children under 5 die every minute.
(and that is just hunger)
Twelve die 12 every minute from hunger.
Twenty every minute from poverty-related causes in general.
12 children
(12) Twelve children die every minute.
12 children…WAY too many. Makes me wish they would spend the stimulus money another way.
Amen Sonya–the stimulus money could save the lives of over 2 million kids
10 children die every minute.
Okay so I'm pretty much the last person to get to answer today (my kids have had the stomach bug for the past week….interesting timing…makes me appreciate what we've been blessed with…that they aren't going to die from a virus we casually just shrug off, "Oh it will run it's course…" when millions of children die from illnesses less severe).
I'm going to go with 12 also.
The answer is:
Six. More than 9 million children under age 5 die every year, and malnutrition accounts for more than one-third of these deaths. Most of these children live in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

- Marginalization occurs when the individual cannot change and the culture is not open. Here's the environment in which gangs thrive because no one goes unclaimed for long.
- We're not aware of our own culture the way a fish doesn't know from water.
- Culture tends not to explain itself.
- We all act normal and natural; it's just that normal and natural vary by culture.
- Make an assumption of positive intent.
- Build a bridge by connecting with another's sense of values.
- The Art of Intercultural Competency
- know as much about the other

- Match the borrower. Users submit orders using their email address. If their email address matches an email address in the borrower table, the user's name and address automatically fill. If the email address does not match an email address in the borrower table, they may still be a valid borrower but used a different email address on the online form. Use the Borrower ID drop-down list to match the request with a valid borrower. If the user is a new borrower, follow the guidelines for setting up new borrowers.
- Print Fulfillment List and gather materials. The Fulfillment List shows all the items and their shelf location. Use this list to gather the materials. Many items have multiple copies so take care to match the ID on the list with the ID on the item.
- Turn the request into a loan. Click the button to turn the request into a loan. The database creates a new loan and inserts the borrow information. Notice the loan references the online request number so you can always tell what loans originated as online requests.
- Add the materials to the loan. Add the materials to the loan as you normally do by scanning the item's bar code label. The database will alert you if you add an item that is not on the request.
- Print the receipt.
- Print a borrower label.
- Assemble and stage for shipping. Package the materials and receipt in a shipping envelope. Affix the borrower label.

Here are the areas within the WordPress administration and which roles can access them.
|Conference Rooms
|Knowledge Base
These are the stock WordPress roles and how we're using them.
Administrator - Full access to everything. Dean's Office communications staff and IT will share the credentials to the sole administrator account.
Editor - Can create and publish their own posts plus edit and publish other people's posts. Can view analytics data plus work with Conference Rooms, Documents and the Knowledge Base. This role is assigned to Dean's Office communications staff.
Author - Can create and publish their own posts plus edit and publish other people's posts. These are key contributors in the various units.
Contributor - Can create their own posts and submit them for publishing. This is the majority of GPS staff.
Subscriber - Can read posts and make comments. We're not using this role but it may come in handy if we want to grant access to someone outside GPS (Robert Jones office? General Counsel's office?)
To the tune of Folsom Prison Blues:
I hear that Chip's retirin'. He's biking down the road.
And we're just trying to pay him all the thanks he's owed.

Greg Miller spoke at a recent web standards meeting. Funny guy, which you wouldn't expect from the Manager of PCI DSS Compliance. I guess you need a sense of humor to marry the vast accounting network at the University with the willfully misleading banking industry while abiding heaps of regulations and consumer protections.
What I Learned and I Hope I Got This Right
- DSS = Data security Standards.
- PCI = a counsel consisting of VISA, MC, AmEX and Discover who set policy for credit card authorizations. The counsel owns the credit card number and the associated data regardless of the issuing institution.
- Wells Fargo Merchant Services is the University's Merchant Bank with whom we have an entitlement account.
We must be PCI compliant always always always or we can be hung out to dry. A single breech or incident, no matter how minor, must be reported by law. Law also dictates the consequences and remedies. You must hire an independent Quality Security Assessor. You must notify card holders. You must track down the 20% of card holders who may have moved. You must pay two years of credit monitoring. IOW, it adds up fast!
My Take-Aways
- I will not touch a credit card or someone's credit card info.
- I will use Authorize.net for online credit card transactions.
- I will not use Pay Pal or this funky Square Up thingy.
- I understand that EFTs are bad because transactions don't come with data indicating what UofM account the funds should be deposited into.
- For event registrations I will use RegOnline or CCE who are entitled to their cut and may not meet every last need I have.
- I will trust that the University responds to trends and consumer expectations but has to balance risk and regulations.

It's the No. 1 rule in bodybuilding: Don't short-change yourself on your protein intake. Why? Protein not only creates energy, but promotes muscle synthesis and recovery after workout. As a general rule, you should be eating about 1 gram of quality protein per pound of bodyweight. Because this macronutrient is essential to every bodybuilder's arsenal, but can sometimes be hard to intake in large enough quantities, it's no surprise there are dozens of types from which to choose. Among hardcore athletes, whey protein has long been favored for its anabolic power and potency. Studies show that whey protein found in ProSource's NytroWhey Ultra Elite, MuscleTech's Nitro-Tech Hardcore Pro Series and Optimum's 100% Gold Standard Whey is easily digested and utilized by the body, rich in amino acids and can boost the immune system. For bodybuilders looking for even-faster alternative protein sources, the new whey hydrolysate formulations consisting of partially digesting whey protein aminos designed to spur anabolism almost immediately upon digestion, are an excellent choice. BioQuest's MyoZene Ultra Pro and MuscleTech's premium proteins offer plenty of rapid action bang for your buck. Other products? protein sources include egg albumin, calcium caseinate and milk protein isolate. With so many quality options on the market, your decision may simply come down to your palate the competition for gourmet, milkshake-like flavors and consistency is equally fierce.

OXFORD, Ohio – Nathan Williams turned in a dominant start, finishing one out shy of a complete game to help the Miami University baseball team top Bowling Green 3-1 on Saturday.
Saturday's result clinches a series victory for the RedHawks while improving them to 22-24 this season and 12-8 in Mid-American Conference play.
The Falcons (20-22, 10-10 MAC) had a runner at third with two outs in the first after Jeremy Shay was hit by a pitch, stole second and advanced to third on an errant throw. Williams kept BGSU off the board however by inducing an inning-ending fly out.
Miami jumped on the board two batters in. Steve Sada opened the frame with a well-placed single to center and Dan Walsh pulled an RBI triple down the first-base line to put the Red and White on top 1-0. A promising start to the inning was quelled when Chad Sedio's sinking line drive was caught by Shay at first base with Walsh anticipating the ball hitting the ground and trying to score. That resulted in a line drive double play to hold MU to just the one run in the opening frame.
T.J. Losby's RBI double to right center tied the score at 1-1 in the top of the fourth. With the go ahead run in scoring position, Williams avoided further damage by forcing Patrick Lancaster to fly out and fanning Brandon Howard to send it to the bottom of the inning.
The RedHawks manufactured a run in the bottom of the fifth. John Crummy was hit and Matt Honchel followed with a single to put a pair of runners aboard with nobody out. After fouling off two bunts, Scott Slappey dropped a sacrifice down successfully to move both runners up. Ryan Elble then did his job by lofting a sacrifice fly to center field that plated Crummy to put Miami up 2-1 after five innings of play.
Both teams threatened in the sixth. Shay drew a one-out walk and Lancaster singled with two down, but Williams retired pinch-hitter Greg Basalyga on a fly out to keep MU in front. In the RedHawks' half of the frame, Walsh reached on an error while Gary Russo drew a one-out walk, but a pair of groundouts prevented them from scoring.
Miami finally stretched its lead on a confusing play in the bottom of the seventh. Honchel led off the frame with a single and advanced to scoring position on Slappey's bunt. Elble came up and launched a fly ball deep to right field that bounced off the top of the wall. Initially, the play was ruled a catch by Jesse Rait in right with a force out at second to end the frame. After conversing as a group, the umpires ruled that the ball bounced off the top of the wall for an RBI triple that put the Red and White on top by a 3-1 count.
After cruising through the eighth inning on eight pitches thanks to a double play ball, Williams attempted to finish what he started in the ninth. The junior right-hander made quick work of Lancaster and Basalyga, striking both out to get within one batter of a complete game victory. Andrew Kubuski beat out an infield single into the hole to bring the tying run to the plate and Logan Walker drew a four-pitch walk to put the tying run aboard. That ended Williams' afternoon and brought freshman Brad Schwartz to the mound. Schwartz took on pinch hitter Matt Smith and dispatched him on his second pitch by forcing a groundout to second to pick up his first-collegiate save and deliver the RedHawks a series-clinching victory.
Williams ended up pitching 8.2 innings and allowing just one run on four hits. He struck out seven batters while walking three to move to 4-6 on the season. Honchel went 2-for-3 to top the RedHawks' in hits while Elble drove in two of their three runs.
Miami tries to finish off a sweep of Bowling Green in its home finale on Sunday at 1 p.m. Sunday's game is senior day and the RedHawks will honor Alex Brown, John Crummy, Charlie Suich, Seth Varner, Dan Walsh and Charles Zubrod prior to the contest.
