This is a good thing. ITER is a complete waste of money. Look at Lawrenceville Plasma Physics. Their Focus Fusion Indiegogo campaign (http://goo.gl/Cmjhw3) can't even get 200k in funding so that they can prove within the next year on whether their technology is scalable enough to commercialize. ITER, on the other hand, says they will commercialize in another 30-50 years. Their numbers are useless and this is after throwing billions at them per year. There are more promising fusion research projects out there that don't need billions per year to waste.

First of all you probably won't get huge results from exercise only at work, but following your criteria, here is what I would recommend: Use a timer of some sorts. I don't care if it is a manual one on your desk or if it is on your phone. Set the timer for every 30 minutes. When the timer goes off you do as many exercises as you can. Start off with pushups and alternate between narrow, medium and wide grip. After the set up pushups are done (don't worry it won't take more than 60 seconds), move onto the next exercise. Before I got serious and started doing weight training with my power rack, I would walk out the front door to the fire escape and do pullups (while wearing lifting gloves) off of it. If you can do pullups while at work this is awesome. Another great exercise to alternate with is wall squats. They won't replace weighted squats but you can feel the burn if you hold it for a few minutes. There are a lot of exercises you can do for minor muscle groups but since you won't be doing that many sets, I recommend sticking to the big, compound muscle exercises. Just make sure that you don't neglect your core. If time is an issue at work, alternate between exercises every 30 minutes. Like I said, your greatest adversary here is your state of mind. If you want to see real results, I recommend starting a fitness program at home. I did p90x at home for about 6 months and got good results. But I got bored with it and am now using a power rack for bench press, squats, deadlift, etc.

Man Swallows USB Flash Drive Evidence 199

SlideRuleGuy writes "In a bold and bizarre attempt to destroy evidence seized during a federal raid, a New York City man grabbed a flash drive and swallowed the data storage device while in the custody of Secret Service agents. Records show Florin Necula ingested the Kingston flash drive shortly after his January 21 arrest outside a bank in Queens. A Kingston executive said it was unclear if stomach acid could damage one of their drives. 'As you might imagine, we have no actual experience with someone swallowing a USB.' I imagine that would be rather painful. But did he follow his mother's advice and chew thoroughly, first? Apparently not, as the drive was surgically recovered."
