The ombudsman states in a report that the European Commission did not take into account a meeting during which an unnamed Dell representative told EC investigators in 2006 that AMD processors were problematic due to "very poor" performance. It's impossible to find out what, exactly, the Dell representative said however, because the EC did not keep a written record of the meeting. When Intel asked for a record of the interview, the EC denied the meeting ever took place.
Intel is currently in appeal to the EC's decision, but this evidence most likely won't weigh up against the rest of the evidence. Still, all this does raise a point that often gets overlooked: Intel has not been tried in a court of law in Europe - nor has Microsoft, for that matter. These fines are administrative proceedings, during which the defendants do not get proper means to actually defend themselves.
While it's a good thing that the European Union tries to combat companies like Intel and Microsoft, these things should take place in a proper court of law - not in a few back rooms in Brussels (or Strasbourg), lacking any form of transparency. The idea of the EU fining companies without those companies having the means to defend themselves doesn't really sound very fair to me.

Given the fact that a typical virtualization host system has abundant CPU and memory resources available, let's talk about minimizing hypervisor involvement in disk writes and assuring that your database has enough resources to handle whatever we're going to throw at it. By following the following recommendations, you can relax about database issues on virtual platforms.
First, we need to minimize the involvement of the hypervisor in making writes to storage. There are two ways to accomplish this: we can either allow the virtual machine exclusive access to the raid datastore, or we can give the database virtual machine a Raw Device Mapping (RDM) to the storage. Giving the VM exclusive access to the datastore is just that, we create a datastore on top of the physical array or LUN, and we provision all the available space into in a single disk. This minimizes hypervisor involvement in storage I/O because there are no other virtual machines using the array. The second option is to grant the virtual machine a Raw Device Mapping. Raw device mappings in vSphere allow a particular virtual machine unrestricted and exclusive access to an underlying storage medium. In short, the RDM prevents nearly any interference by the hypervisor in storage utilization. For moderately utilized databases, the first method is probably sufficient, but if your database is a monster, then RDMs are your only option. RDMs require additional configuration and zoning or masking to implement on the storage side, but VMware makes it easy to allocate them to a virtual machine.
Finally, we need to make sure your database server has the CPU and memory resources necessary to do its job. In VMware, we can do this with simple CPU and Memory reservations. Windows Perfmon and VMware capacity planner are both great for getting a starting point for what's required on a physical database server, and the next step is just to set a reservation for disk and CPU commensurate with your sample data. If you're really dead set on giving exclusive CPU access to your database server, set affinity for the server to a particular core or cores and unset affinity on all other virtual machines from that core or cores; this prevents any other machines from using that CPU and guarantees exclusive access.

How much money do students need? What is covered by program fees? What items will students need money for?
- Most meals will be at the students expense
- Euro - students can cook in their apartments (average cost is $150/week)
- Asia - Limited breakfasts at hostels and hotels; breakfast and dinner with host family; other meals at your expense
- HonduraServe - Most meals are covered; may want money for snacks and drinks.
- Laundry expenses covered in Vienna and with host family in Japan
- Not provided while traveling
- HonduraServe - the hotel will do laundry. Allow about $20-25 for the two weeks.
Communication (see page on Communication)
- Internet provided in Vienna and at Ibaraki Christian (possibly with host family as well)
- Not covered - Expenses at Internet cafes; telephone cards and calls; postage.
- Limited Internet available (may be a fee) on HonduraServe.
- Euro - All expenses during free travel periods are not covered by program fees; extra sites and activities not required as part of the program are at the student's expense
- PacRim - Extra sites and activities not required as part of the program are at the student's expense
- HonduraServe - Need limited amount of money for souvenirs, personal items, etc.
How is the best way for them to get money in another country? Most students and parents have lots of money questions concerning their study abroad trip. There are no perfect solutions and things change often, but here are some recommendations based on former study abroad experiences:
- Debit cards are the best way to get cash almost everywhere.
- ATMs are common everywhere and can be used to withdraw cash in local currency.
- You get the best exchange rates through debit cards.
- You may have foreign ATM and international transaction fees, but these usually are offset with the good exchange rate.
- Can track money through online banking.
- Make sure you only have a 4-digit PIN number.
- Visa check cards are the best because they can be used anywhere a Visa card is accepted
- Some countries have started to use a chip and PIN system for bank cards and may not be able to accept an American debit card.
- Virtual credit cards are a good backup to a debit card.
- Cash advances from a credit card can be expensive and you must have a PIN number to withdraw from a credit card.
- Can be used everywhere credit cards are accepted
- Must be paid on time so you need someone to pay the bills.
- Visa gift cards can be a handy backup.
- Cannot be used to withdraw cash.
- Used to pay for souvenirs, travel reservations, etc., anywhere a Visa is accepted.
- Most banks are providing these free for their customers. They also can be bought in stores, but there is a fee. They can be loaded with any amount.
- You may want to put small amounts ($50-$100) on several cards and take them out one at a time. That way, there is not a huge loss if one is lost or stolen.
- Traveler's checks are not as widely accepted as before.
- You may only want to carry a few hundred dollars in traveler's checks for emergencies.
- American Express is usually the best.
- These are somewhat harder to use these days.
- American cash
- You get the worst rates exchanging American cash into foreign currency. It is not recommended.
- You only need a small amount of cash for U.S. airports.
Note: For HonduraServe, you will exchange money at the airport upon arrival. Bring U.S. cash (typically $50-$100).
Keep these things in mind:
- Have multiple sources for getting cash. If one doesn't work one time, you'll always have a backup.
- Make sure your student can access their account online to check balances, move money, etc.
- Be careful about putting large amounts of cash into your bank account. Your debit number in the wrong hands can wipe out your whole account. Having a backup savings account and moving money as needed would prevent that.
- Having someone monitor your account while your student travels is a good idea to keep an eye out for fraud.
- Another backup idea is to open a second bank account at a different bank and get a debit card for that bank. Keep enough money in it to cover emergencies. For some odd reason, sometimes foreign ATMs will reject one card and then accept another one from a different bank. Also, if your student has a card stolen, it takes several weeks for a replacement to be sent to them. Having a backup means they can still get cash.
- On occasion, foreign ATMs will "eat" a student's card. This is usually because they put in the wrong PIN or are trying to withdraw over the limit. There is no way to get it back and a new one must be ordered and sent to them. Having a backup card or backup account will ensure that students still have a way to get cash.
- Call your bank or credit card company to tell them your student will be traveling overseas.
- Money, credit cards, etc., should be kept in a travel wallet. Only take out a day's worth of cash.
- Students should learn the exchange rates and understand them.
- Students can only bring back $800 worth of souvenirs before they will be taxed.
- It is best for students to have a budget and stick to it.

Seacoast racked by blizzard, high tide
By JASON SCHREIBER
Sunday News Correspondent
Rocks of all sizes washed onto Route 1A in North Hampton at the time of high tide Saturday. (JASON SCHREIBER/Union Leader Correspondent)
Saturday morning's high tide created headaches for coastal residents and highway workers alike as a 10-foot tide and storm surge, kicked up by the ferocious blizzard, hurled water, rocks, lobster traps and other debris over seawalls onto Route 1A.
The storm also caused additional flooding in marsh areas.
Portions of Route 1A from Hampton to Rye were littered with debris, forcing highway crews to bring in bucket loaders and other equipment to clean up the mess.
A barrier made of rocks and sand constructed to protect against coastal flooding on Route 1A was partially washed away along areas of North Hampton and Rye.
Also, sections of Route 1A were closed because of the debris and flooding.
"We're trying to keep onlookers out of there so the crews can get it cleaned up in a timely fashion," said Rye police Cpl. Mark Webster.
Hampton Police Chief Jamie Sullivan said the floodwaters were slow to recede because they were blocked by snow banks and clogged drains.
Plow trucks were used to push the water off the roadways before it froze.
However, Sullivan said it didn't appear that any roads in Hampton were damaged by the flooding.
As crews cleaned up, Kalley Mihalko, 31, took several breaks while digging her Cadillac CTS out of a snow drift at least 3-feet deep.
Mihalko, who lives on Ocean Boulevard in Hampton, said she's never seen so much snow from a storm.
"The wind was whipping through here. It was pretty intense," she said. "This is the worst storm I've ever seen."
By Saturday afternoon, dozens of other vehicles remained buried under massive drifts along Hampton Beach, where snow continued to swirl in the mean winds.
Althought the blizzard was intense, Hampton Fire Chief Chris Silver said firefighters had an "uneventful" night because people stayed off the roads during the worst of the storm.
Firefighters made a few runs early Friday night, but Silver said they "never went anywhere" after midnight.
"People actually stayed home, which was a good thing," he said. "I think this is the kind of event where people are being smart. They knew it was going to be a significant event," he said."

Manchester Crimewatch: City man accused of pulling girlfriend by the hair
January 24. 2014 10:48PM
MANCHESTER — Michael Laduke, 31, of 286 Concord St., Friday asked a Circuit Court-Manchester District Division judge for personal recognizance bail.
Laduke is accused of assaulting his girlfriend, shoving her against a wall and blocking her from leaving, grabbing her by the hair and pulling her backwards, taking her cell phone when she tried to call police and screaming profanities at a police officer telling him to quiet down.
A police prosecutor requested $1,000 cash/surety bail for Laduke on the misdemeanor charges of false imprisonment, simple assault, obstructing government administration and disorderly conduct.
Laduke told Judge William Lyons: "It's going to cost me my job." Lyons met Laduke halfway, setting bail at $500 cash/surety. Trial was set for Feb. 6.
Says the car broke down
Jessica Engel, 29, of 37 Nashua St., also asked for personal recognizance bail Friday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division. Engel was arrested on a warrant for failing to appear in Circuit Court-Exeter District Division on a felony charge of possession of a narcotic.
Engel said it wasn't her fault. "I showed up three times," said Engel. On the fourth court date, she said, the person who was driving her to the court had car trouble. "The car broke down on the way," she said.
The Exeter court set $1,500 cash/surety bail on the warrant, but Lyons reduced the bail amount to $1,000 cash/surety. He said he wouldn't set personal recognizance, given the failure to appear. The probable cause hearing will be Feb. 6 in Exeter District Division.
Bail request denied
A Weare man, who said he is trying to change his life, Friday asked Lyons for personal recognizance bail.
A police prosecutor requested $5,000 cash/surety bail for Samuel King, 24, of 2 Depot Road, who was charged with felony possession of a narcotic (heroin) Thursday after the vehicle in which he was a passenger was stopped for suspicious behavior.
The prosecutor said King's criminal record goes back to 2008. It includes convictions for felony criminal mischief and drug possession with intent to distribute.
The prosecutor said King also waived a probable cause hearing on felony charges last year. King was indicted by the September Hillsborough County North Grand Jury on charges of felon in possession of a dangerous weapon, possession of a controlled drug (oxycodone) with intent to sell, sale of a controlled drug and witness tampering.
Bail was not set after King's arrest Thursday because he was subject to a 72-hour probation hold. Noting King was arrested on the drug felony while on probation, Lyons set bail at the amount requested by the prosecutor.
He said King's lawyer could revisit the bail at the probable cause hearing, set for Feb. 6.
Trial set for March 5
Jerry Merritt, 28, of 477 Dubuque St., pleaded innocent Friday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to misdemeanor charges of simple assault, attempted simple assault and criminal mischief. Trial was set for March 5.
Merritt is accused of grabbing his girlfriend around the neck and pulling her hair, attempting twice to punch her in the face and damaging her vehicle by punching it.
Bail was continued at $2,000 personal recognizance, with conditions that include a ban on contact with the alleged victim and on going to a specific Ministerial Road address in Bedford.

It's easy to consider a massage when you're in pain or feeling tense. Have you thought about the importance of regular bodywork for maintaining healthy muscles and overall well-being? Whether you are athletic, or just do strenuous activities like gardening or managing small children, adding a monthly massage into your health plan will help you meet the challenges a demanding lifestyle brings on. Not only will massage help you relax and de-stress, you get the added benefit of improved circulation and a boost to your immunity.
There are countless benefits massage therapy can bring to your daily life. Some of the general benefits include:
The two most common massages for relaxation and stress relief are the Relaxation/Swedish Massage and the Deep Tissue Massage. Both massages are offered at all of our LaVida Massage Centers.
Swedish Massage is probably the most common of all massage therapies. The therapist will use a variety of strokes and pressures, as well as a movement of the joints. The four strokes most commonly used in this type of massage are: Effleurage (a smooth, gliding stroke to relax soft tissue), Petrissage (the squeezing, rolling or kneading that follows Effleurage), Friction (deep, circular movements that increase blood flow) and Tapotment (short, alternating taps done with cupped hands, fingers, or the edge of the hand). This combination of movements relieves muscle tension and can be both relaxing and energizing. Swedish Massage is a great introductory massage for anyone who is new to massage and simply wants to feel better.
If you are experiencing soreness after a workout, slept wrong, feeling knotted from sitting at a desk all day, or just have some "trouble spots" from everyday activities, a Deep Tissue Massage may be just the solution. Deep Tissue Massage involves slow deliberate strokes that focus pressure on the layers of muscles, tendons, and other deep tissues under your skin. This massage, though less rhythmic than others, is ideal for pinpoint areas that need a little more attention. It can be an ideal addition to your regular therapeutic massage routine or used throughout the year when you are experiencing extra stress or conditioning.
LaVida Massage offers member discounts for clients who want to incorporate regular massage therapy and skin care services in to their healthy lifestyles. For more information on the benefits of becoming a member click here.
It's always the right time for a massage! When you feel good, it shows. Our regular clients experience a brighter outlook, a more relaxed disposition, and have more energy to get things done. Call LaVida Massage and schedule a massage today!
As our guest, we want to share our
practices and procedures so you feel
completely comfortable at your local
LaVida Massage Center and
throughout your session.

CDM is a minimalistic, yet full-featured replacement for login-managers like slim, kdm, gdm and qingy that provides a fast, dialog-based login system without the overhead of the X Window System or the instability of qingy. Written in pure bash, CDM has no other dependencies, yet supports multiple users/sessions and can start virtually any DE/WM.
A package is available in the AUR.
You can configure CDM by editing Template:Filename. It is fully documented and should be relatively easy to figure out.
At least these should be edited before you start using CDM:
wmbinlist=(awesome openbox-session startkde startxfce4 gnome-session) wmdisplist=(Awesome Openbox KDE Xfce Gnome)
Add whatever WM/DE you have.
If you typically start your WM from .xinitrc you can enable the usexinit option in Template:Filename. You can also start your WM from a script, by including the path in your binlist, like so:
/etc/inittab or /etc/rc.conf
After installing CDM and configuring it to your liking, you should edit Template:Filename or Template:Filename to make sure no other display managers get started.
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon #x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon #x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon #x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null
They should all be commented.
DAEMONS=(... !gdm)
gdm (or kdm, or xdm, ...) should be disabled or removed from your DAEMONS array.
CDM itself will start automatically, hence there is no need for further configuration in this respect.
Themes are located in Template:Filename, and can be switched via your Template:Filename.
The theme syntax is fairly self explanatory, the best way to start a new theme would be to duplicate and edit an existing theme.
Starting X
Login to the console and select your prefered session (or console, if allowed) from the menu.
Additional users may be logged in by switching to tty1 (ctrl+alt+f1). If the user is already logged in, CDM will automatically activate their pre-existing session.
Own commands
If you want to add entries like shutdown which needs parameters you have to save the command in an executable script and add the script with full path to the wmbinlist array. E.g. shutdown:
- /script/shutdown
#!/bin/bash shutdown -h now
- /etc/cdmrc
wmbinlist=( ... /script/shutdown ... )

The Clinical and Cellular Biology Section aims to study clinical conditions at a cellular level. Specific research projects include studies of patients with extreme forms of insulin resistance—for example, individuals with mutations in the insulin receptor, autoantibodies to the insulin receptor, and other related problems. Also of scientific interest are studies in patients with lipoatrophy, including genetic and acquired syndromes. These studies involve genetics, lipotoxicity, insulin resistance, and other related problems. Research includes a major clinical trial to determine the effect of leptin therapy on reducing insulin resistance in patients with complete lipodystrophy and extreme forms of insulin resistance. The Section's work also involves investigations of organic hypoglycemia, including the diagnostic value of proinsulin in insulinoma and studies of the diagnosis, localization, and treatment of benign and malignant insulinoma.
Ranganath Muniyappa, M.D., Ph.D.
The Clinical Endocrinology Section conducts clinical protocols. Studies include the evaluation of treatment interventions for diseases of the pancreas and thyroid and pituitary abnormalities.
Alexxai V. Kravitz, Ph.D.
The Eating and Addiction Section focuses on a large contributor to obesity—increases in food intake. Americans consume about 25 percent more calories than they did 30 years ago. To determine why people have such a difficult time eating less, investigations concentrate on understanding how diet affects reward circuitry in the brain. Of particular interest is the idea that certain diets can alter and impair neural circuits that regulate reward processing and food consumption, similar to how drugs of abuse impair these circuits in people with addiction. Studies use a variety of approaches to examine this hypothesis, including behavioral testing, in vivo electrophysiology, and optogenetics.
Marc L. Reitman, M.D., Ph.D.
The Energy Homeostasis Section is interested in elucidating the mechanisms underlying energy homeostasis and how they impact obesity and diabetes. The major focus is on using mouse models coupled with genetics and pharmacology to understand regulation of metabolic rate and body temperature. Examples of specific research topics include brown adipose tissue, drug treatments for obesity, the role of environmental temperature, uncoupling, lipodystrophy, leptin, BRS-3 (bombesin receptor subtype-3), and melanocortins. Another interest is in using the NIH Clinical Center's Metabolic Clinical Research Unit, with its state of the art clinical facilities, including room calorimeters. Ideally, mouse experimentation will generate hypotheses for the clinical setting and clinical observations will spur investigations in mice.
Kong Y. Chen, Ph.D.
The Energy Metabolism Section focuses on the dissection of the components of energy expenditure in humans and an understanding of their roles in contributing to body weight regulation. The three classic components of energy expenditure are resting, thermic effect of food, and physical activity. Recently, the recognition of brown adipose tissue in adult humans confirms that the facultative component of energy expenditure may be important as a potential source for elevating energy expenditure to counter-balance food intake. Clinical studies are conducted using state-of-art whole-room indirect calorimeters at different environmental temperatures to define the capacity of nonshivering thermogenesis in lean and obese adults. These studies are also conducted using pharmacologic approaches to dissect its mechanism in humans.
Sushil G. Rane, Ph.D.
The Regenerative Biology Section developed mouse models to study cell cycle regulators (particularly Cdks) in pancreatic development and disease. A scientific focus is examining the mechanisms of islet growth and the pathways that lead to increase in beta-cell mass. Other projects investigate cell cycle regulators in obesity, diabetes, and their complications. Studies examine how cell cycle molecules and the downstream pathways become deregulated during the pathogenesis of obesity and diabetes. Of particular interest is the role of Cdk activity in the regulation of adipogenesis, muscle development and function, glucose homeostasis, glucose tolerance, and energy balance. Research in this Section also includes studies on TGF-β superfamily signaling, which is implicated in pancreatic development and pancreatic diseases associated with diabetes and obesity. These investigations use a variety of approaches—mouse models, primary cells, established cell lines, and human samples—to study the role of the TGF-beta superfamily in obesity and diabetes, particularly in the regulation of insulin gene transcription and beta-cell function.
Anne Elizabeth Sumner, M.D.
As the worldwide epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, collectively known as cardiometabolic disease, disproportionately affects people of African descent, the Section on Ethnicity and Health is working to identify the earliest determinants of cardiometabolic disease in African Americans and African immigrants to the United States. Our research is specifically designed to determine predictors of cardiometabolic disease in people of African descent so that the most effective screening tests can be identified. Screening tests have enormous public health significance because they can lead to the initiation of an intervention at a time when outcome can be positively affected. Currently, screening tests for cardiometabolic disease rely on markers of insulin resistance. But the development of cardiometabolic disease requires both insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. Work in this Section suggests that hyperinsulinemia may be an earlier trigger in people of African descent than insulin resistance. Therefore, we are undertaking studies to rigorously identify the balance between insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. We will use this insight to develop screening tests that are effective in people of African descent and thereby achieve interventions that lead to a decrease in health disparities, reduced health costs, and enhanced lives. While our work focuses specifically on people of African descent, the principles of investigation are broadly applicable.
Michael Krashes, Ph.D.
The Section on Motivational Processes Underlying Appetite focuses on obesity and dissecting the neural systems controlling food intake beyond metabolic need—including higher-order cognitive factors. Using rodents as a model, research examines how the rodent brain integrates peripheral senses, internal states, and experiences to orchestrate feeding. Investigations include studies of the neural systems that underlie the detection (both external and internal) and memory of stimuli associated with the acquisition of food. The long-term goal is to bridge homeostatic satiety signals emanating from the hypothalamus with those higher-order networks controlling food-seeking behavior using a combination of genetic and molecular tools to functionally unravel these circuit mechanisms. Of interest are the neuromodulatory networks through which distinct subsets of hypothalamic neurons differentially influence specific downstream target cell types and synapses to guide motivational behavior and learning and memory processing aimed at obtaining food.
Kristina Ingeborg Rother, M.D.
The Section on Pediatric Diabetes and Metabolism conducts clinical protocols. These studies examine the effectiveness of potential treatments for diabetes in youth.In the Section on Pediatric Diabetes and Metabolism, we conduct clinical studies on the pathophysiology and management of obesity and diabetes among youth. Our studies focus on artificial sweeteners and their effects on hormones, satiety, intestinal health (microbiome) and their interactions with food and medications. We also investigate lifestyle and psychosocial interventions in type 2 diabetes, and effects of bariatric surgery on incretin regulation. Additional topics of interest include the endocrine features of autoinflammatory diseases associated with lipodystrophy, e.g., dermatomyositis and CANDLE syndrome.
Rebecca J. Brown, M.D., M.H.Sc., Lasker Tenure Track Investigator
The lab conducts translational and clinical research in insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome, focusing on pathophysiology and clinical therapeutics for rare disorders of severe insulin resistance, including lipodystrophy and genetic or acquired disorders of the insulin receptor. We apply what is learned from rare diseases to improve understanding of common disorders of insulin resistance, such as type 2 diabetes and the polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Lynnette K. Nieman, M.D.
The section on translational endocrinology conducts clinical trials to better understand disorders of cortisol excess and deficiency, such as Cushing's syndrome, glucocorticoid resistance and adrenal insufficiency. Cushing's syndrome is viewed as a model of obesity, and investigates the mechanisms by which cortisol may induce weight gain. Adrenal insufficiency is studied from the perspective of permanent disease (such as autoimmune adrenalitis) as well as reversible disorders of secondary adrenal insufficiency, such as occur after recovery from Cushing's syndrome. These models may suggest new ways to treat obesity as well as the problem of exogenous pharmacologic use of glucocorticoids. The section collaborates with others in NCI (glucocorticoid receptors; endocrine and thoracic surgery), NINDS (neurosurgery), members of the Metabolic Clinical Research Unit, Clinical Endocrinology Section, Biomedical and Metabolic Imaging Branch (BMIB), as well as with colleagues throughout the world.
Aaron M. Cypess, M.D., Ph.D., M.M.Sc.
goal of the Translational Physiology Section is to integrate a
combination of in vitro, rodent, and clinical models toward finding
treatments for obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic diseases. The
principal area of interest is the physiology the principal organs
regulating metabolism such as fat, skeletal muscle, liver, and
myocardium. One focus is on human brown adipose tissue (BAT), with the
purpose of addressing three fundamental unknowns: (A) the extent to
which human BAT contributes to interventions that increase energy
expenditure; (B) the intracellular responses of human brown adipocytes
to adrenergic stimulation and how these could impact whole-body glucose
and triglyceride flux; and (C) how activated human BAT interacts with
other organs in regulating metabolism. The Section collaborates with
multiple groups on campus, such as members of the Metabolic Clinical
Research Unit, Positron Emission Tomography Department, and the Clinical
Laboratory and Mass Spectrometry Cores, as well as with colleagues
throughout the world. Current projects include the use of β3-adrenergic
receptor agonist drugs to activate and grow human BAT; the study of
immortalized human adipocytes to determine how glucose is utilized by
brown and white fat; and the leveraging of clinical samples for use in
omics technologies to identify brown adipokines and how the regulate
whole body metabolism.

Athletic Training
At What Age Should You Begin Lifting Weights?
How old should you be to start lifting weights? My son is 12 and I think he's too young.
I think that weight lifting at any age should be supervised and well thought out. I would encourage your son to use his body weight for most of the movements that he would do in the weight room. For example, he could do:
- step lunges with high repetitions (3x20)
- body weight squats 3x20-25 repetitions
- single leg squat 3x15
- calf raise of the edge of a stair 3x35
- push-ups 200 reps a day
- sit-ups 200-300 reps a day
- bench dips 3x12
- chin-ups 3x12
- pull-ups 3x12
Bicep curls would be the only free weight exercise I would look at doing: 3x12 with 15lbs.
All of the exercises I gave you will provide total body strength. Bicep curls are optional because the other upper body exercises will develop his biceps.
Hope this helps - good luck.

A Philadelphia police officer and a former cop have been charged in an alleged loan-sharking scheme.
Federal prosecutors say 46-year-old Gary Cottrell, a former officer in the 14th District, was involved in an extortion scheme that involved making high-interest loans to others, including 46-year-old Cheryl L. Stephens, an active 18th District officer.
An indictment against the pair was unsealed today.
The indictment says that Cottrell, who was a police officer from December 1996 to June 2011, ran a business in which he extended credit, in amounts ranging from several hundred to several thousand dollars, to borrowers.
He required borrowers to repay the amount owed, plus interest. That interest rate, according to prosecutors, was $25 for each $100 borrowed, and had to be repaid within in four weeks.
The interest rate on Cottrell's loans was higher than the legally enforceable rate of 25 percent per annum, prosecutors say.
The indictment alleges that Cottrell would use force and threats of force to collect money.
Stephens is accused of falsely testifying that Cottrell didn't charge her interest on a loan and didn't tell her to deny paying interest when she spoke with law enforcement officials.
Cottrell faces charges of making an extortionate extension of credit, collecting an extension of credit by extortionate means and obstruction.
Stephens faces charges of making false statements. The 10-year veteran has been suspended with intent to dismiss, the police department said.
Separately, Cottrell is also facing allegations of participating in an insurance-fraud scheme that cheated insurers out of millions of dollars during a four-year span.
In that case, he is accused of acting as a "wreck chaser," traveling around Philadelphia to refer accident victims to a collision center, and pocketed kickbacks from that center.
Records show that he is slated to go to trial in December in that case.

Dior Homme Intense
A*Men Pure Malt
Hi guys, what's in your opinion the fragrance for men in their late twenties that is modern with good sillage, projection and longevity, not offensive and most importantly for winter?
Dior Homme Intense
A*Men Pure Malt
Original A*Men / Angel Men, Pure Havane, or Pure Malt, by Thierry Mugler
Bogart Pour Homme by Jacques Bogart
Hermes Vetiver Tonka, YSL La Nuit De L`Homme, Dior Homme Intense, VC&A Midnight in Paris -- are all good introductory fragrances IMO
Selling: Atelier Cologne Gold Leather | CH Men
Burberry London
Very many. I'd single out Chanel Egoiste (the regular one), warm sandalwoody with some candied fruits. Or Caron Yatagan, dark woody.
Angel Men was the one to come to mind when I read the topic title. If you can't stand the top or think it's offensive, the currently still available Angel Men Pure Leather might be up your alley.
Amouage Jubilation XX5

Thanks, I'm shooting for Pure Havane, i heard that Pure Leather is almost the twin of the original A*men.

Pure Havane
L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme
Pure Havane. Had this on today , great stuff , honeyed cherries with a touch of tobacco . Longevity was 6-8 hours , with good projection in the first 4 hours.
Other great ones : YSL La Nuit , L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme , Dior Homme Intense , Fahrenheit ( it may be old , but it's timeless ) , Le Male Terrible ( not the original one ) .
I would've said Burberry London but you mentioned that you want good longevity and projection .
+1 on Midnight in Paris
Also very winter-appropriate:
Chanel Allure Homme
YSL Body Kouros
Eau des Baux by L'Occitane (Tobacco Vanille "Lite"). If you have the $$$, Tobacco Vanille itself, or get in on one of the various splits in the splits forum.

Dior Homme or Homme Intense, Burberry London, Chanel Allure Homme
Midnight in Paris EDP
Burberry London almost wins this contest, but longevity is an issue. I bet it would last longer if you paired it with the Burberry London shower gel though.
Angel Men, but try before you buy.
Pure Malt (projects almost as well as A*Men, but does not last as long).
A*Men/A*Men Flanker
