Dr. Mehmet Oz discussed metabolism-boosting diet tips to enhance weight loss on Wednesday's episode of the Dr. Oz Show. Dr. Oz's guest was celebrity nutritionist Haylie Pomroy, whose clients include Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon, and Robert Downey Jr.
Pomroy said you can rev up your metabolism and accelerate weight loss by switching up your diet every two or three days. This confuses your body so it burns more calories. Recent studies suggest alternating calorie intake is better for weight loss than eating the same amount of calories every day.
Another way to boost your metabolism is to make sure you don't under-eat. Dr. Oz said one of the biggest mistake dieters make is to starve themselves, which only ends up slowing down your metabolism, resulting in less weight loss. When you drastically cut calories, your body compensates by reducing your metabolism.
Pomroy said eating enough protein and healthy fats also help your body burn more fat. Her suggestions echo recent scientific findings indicating that a high-protein diet effectively promotes weight loss by suppressing appetite. According to a new study from the University of Sydney, baboons who consumed a high-protein diet maintained their weight even when they ate more calories, underscoring the weight loss benefits of protein.
The latest study confirms similar research published in the biology journal, FASEB, which monitored 39 adults on a calorie-restricted diet with varying levels of protein. After 31 days, the group that consumed twice the recommended daily amount of protein lost more weight than the low-protein group while maintaining lean muscle mass.
Finally, one proven way to ensure a faster metabolism is to exercise. While cardio exercise burns a lot of calories, strength-training exercises like weight-lifting may better enhance weight loss by helping you build lean muscle mass. The more lean muscle you have, the higher your resting metabolic rate will be, say fitness experts, so you burn more calories even when you sleep.

I am a pond made of teeth and wise hair. I am a factory where men draw faces on paper plates all day long, black ink for stubble, lots of little black lines. Here is my face. I am eating off of it in a room the size of an airplane hangar. I move a piece of toast and there is my fake eye. I have a piece of bacon and there is my triangle of a nose. The factory itself does nothing but spill red smoke from its yellow eyes. Meaning: the dead have no idea who is feeding them. Yet they keep being fed, over and over. The end of each brings a new kind of starving. The hunger is another factory. It builds itself.

Halfway between the family nest and your fabulous future may very well be a dorm room. Smaller than a walk-in closet in a new suburban home, it often comes with a roommate, not enough storage space and the most generic furniture the university can buy. On the upside, there are no parents down the hall, and short of spray-painting the walls, you can decorate it any way you want.

- "[Real Madrid has] a great recipe but it's got to bring the bun out of the oven. It's got to be a nice cake in the trophy room this year."
Anyone who has been following AFR long enough knows that we're Ray Hudsonites. His commentating, poetry, and nonsensical blasts of ecstasy create analogies that perhaps should never be brought into existence, but we enjoy every second of it. So it was wonderful to find that an artist and fellow Hudsonite dedicated a few hours into a Tumblr that brings some of his most vibrant imagery into comic-form.

Interpersonal Psychology - not recruiting for 2014
This is the first MSc programme in Interpersonal Psychology in the UK. This unique and innovative programme explores the psychology behind our interpersonal relationships.
|Parkgate Road Campus, Chester
|1 year Full-time / 2 years Part-time
|Start date
September 2014
Why study Interpersonal Psychology at Chester?
Many people value their interpersonal relationships more than other aspects of their lives. We will explore our interpersonal psychology, examining the complex factors that contribute to harmonious or less optimal relationships. We will also explore how we may promote good interpersonal relationships in a range of settings.
Our lecturers provide a broad range of expertise relevant to interpersonal psychology, ranging from social psychology to positive psychology; from evolutionary psychology to workplace psychology; from child psychology to communication psychology. We will draw on a range of relevant methodologies to explore key questions in interpersonal psychology. We encourage the use of social networking and communication technology to enhance the exchange of ideas during the programme.
The programme is aimed at graduates of psychology and related disciplines from the UK and overseas who wish to develop their understanding of interpersonal psychology. It is also aimed at people who work in professions in which interpersonal behaviour plays a large role (e.g. management, human resources, business, education, social care, healthcare, services), who wish to enhance their understanding of this aspect of their work. The programme is also suitable for people who may be interested in pursuing further research in interpersonal psychology.
Time commitment:
We currently schedule our teaching on Wednesdays to enable students to study via day release. You will be required to study independently in addition to scheduled teaching hours.
The programme in Interpersonal Psychology has a number of attractive features:
Throughout the course you will receive dedicated, expert teaching in lectures, seminars and workshops that are only delivered to postgraduate students. In this way we will give you the attention and focus that you deserve and deliver the material in ways that are appropriate for your level of study.
This programme is structured on a semester basis. You will complete three modules in each of the first two semesters and your research dissertation in the final semester.
In this semester you will start your journey with some training in research methods and skills, and cover one of the key specialist areas of this course.
In the second semester you will take three further modules on the course, developing your research and transferable skills along the way.
In the final semester you will work with one of our expert supervisors on your own research project (PS7112 Dissertation). This allows you to develop your knowledge and expertise in an area that particularly interests you. Your supervisor will guide you in this process, providing advice on how to design your study, collect and analyse your data and effectively write up your dissertation. You are likely to start preparing for this module in Semester 2, and then carry out your project in Semester 3.
Assessment on this programme will be entirely through coursework, using a range of formats. These will include essays, critical reviews, a simulated consultancy report, reflective writing, research reports (both qualitative and quantitative) and presentations (individual, group and by poster). Formative feedback will also be provided in relation to group discussions that are held within seminars and workshops and that will encourage students in their use of critical reflection. The assessments have been designed with an aim to embedding professionally-relevant transferrable skills, which may enhance your employability or career development.
The programme will be relevant to individuals wishing to update their knowledge base as well as updating skills and acquiring new ones, to those taking an MSc as a precursor to doctoral research, and those seeking careers in research, policy or practice.
Graduates from this programme will be equipped with an excellent set of transferable professional skills. The knowledge and understanding gained in the interpersonal psychology modules is relevant to a range of careers that involve interaction with people. People skills are further enhanced by the use of interviews and team work in the programme. The research methods and skills modules promote an understanding in advanced research methods (both quantitative and qualitative), techniques for supporting research and the development and management of research. All modules will enhance your cognitive skills through critical awareness and evaluation of advanced social scientific literature as well as problem solving. Your written and oral communication skills are also developed throughout this programme, as are your Information Technology skills. You will also develop self-awareness and insight into professional and ethical issues relevant to a range of careers.
In all, the programme aims to enhance your employability in a range of careers. The skills are particularly relevant to those in careers that involve a large element of interaction with people, who work in professions in which interpersonal behaviour plays a large role (e.g. management, human resources, business, education, social care, healthcare, services), who wish to enhance their understanding of this aspect of their work.
The programme is aimed at graduates of psychology and related disciplines from the UK and from overseas who wish to develop their conceptual understanding of interpersonal psychology. It is also aimed at early and mid-career professionals working in many business or service-related fields. Finally it is aimed at individuals wishing to develop skills in research methodologies and in undertaking applied research.
Candidates will normally possess an honours degree in Psychology (minimum 2.ii) or other related discipline. Exceptionally, consideration will be given to those with commensurate professional qualifications or experience, where there is evidence of ability to carry out research at postgraduate level. Where appropriate, applicants will be interviewed by a representative of the programme team. Applicants whose first language is not English must have an appropriate level of English proficiency certification before applying (e.g., IELTS, TOEFL).

A story of 'triumph over tragedy
PETERSBURG - Kemba Smith's story of 'triumph over tragedy' was chronicled nationally long before her prison sentence was commuted by (then) President William Jefferson "Bill" Clinton.
Recently, she traveled to the Petersburg City Public School System to share her story with high school, junior high school and middle school students. During her trip, Kemba stopped for 'lunch and conversations' with the Total U Protégés, their mentors and many other members of the Petersburg Chapter of The Links, Incorporated. Her emotional accounting of innocence lost, blind trust and ultimate faith in the 'system' kept her audience spellbound. The mentoring protégés were both educated and in awe of this strong young lady of faith who tried to steer them from the horrible life she endured in the name of love.
As a token of the Links commitment of mentoring, an autographed copy of Kemba's book was presented to each protégé by her mentor. This service to Youth Umbrella Mentoring Program pledged a four-year commitment to enhance the educational, cultural and social environment of a select group of fifteen ninth grade students in Petersburg, Virginia

A Game of Tag
Post the rules, answer the questions the tagger set for you, tag 10 people and send them your post, let the person know you've tagged them.
1. Favorite movie?
Erm, I'm bad at keeping track. Megamind? The Lorax? I have a thing for movies with sympathetic villains as the main characters. If they made a Loki spinoff movie, that'd be awesome.
2. Current obsession?
Danny Phantom. There's a Phantom Rewatch revival thing going on right now so there's all these lovely artists and fic writers coming out of hiding for it.
3. Your most played song?
By my itunes' count it's 'Into the Dark' by Death Cab for Cutie but its glitched up so many times I know that's not right.
4. What's something you are sick of?
Talking with the college administration and making sure all my stuff's in order for the fall semester.
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
Alexander Rybak. He's adorkable and I love to hear him play the violin. Also Tom Hiddleston is very sweet.
6. What fictional character you have cried for?
A shorter list would be what fictional character I haven't cried for.
7. What country you would love to visit?
England. If only to get a picture with one of the decommissioned Tardis's. I think Chef Ramsay's main restaurant shut down so I'll never be able to eat there even if I did make it to England.
8. Sweet or sour?
Sour. Pickles are great. I like sweet things but I can't stand too much.
9. Ever had a pet?
Lots. We lived on a small farm for a long time so I had all kinds of animals. Right now we have dogs, rabbits, and chickens all living in peaceful harmony.
10. What's your best friend like?
One's silly and you can hear her laughing a mile away, but she's pretty cool and really fun to have around. The other is stubborn and kind of lazy in trying new things, but she humored me in most of my obsessions and is really fun to talk to and go to the theater with.
My questions:
1. What color do you hate the most?
2. You're dropped straight into the world of your favorite show/movie/game. Where are you and what would you do?
3. If you could shape shift into any ONE animal what animal would you want it to be?
4. One thing you absolutely can't stand?
5. Favorite comfort food?
6. You have one whole day with a celebrity of your choice. What's the first thing you'd do?
7. What was the song you last listen to?
8. Favorite game you played as a kid?
9. Would you rather live where it's always too cold or always too hot?
10. "All of time and space; everywhere and anywhere; every star that ever was. Where do you want to start?"(Doctor invites you along in the Tardis. Where and when would you chose to go? )
- fivebrights said: Sympathetic villains, Danny Phantom, a taste for pickles, and a celebrity crush on Alexander Rybak? You're amazing.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
While in most FPSes I've prefered the "run and gun" type of play over the "sneak and stealth" type... in WoW I've never much been attracted to Rogues, either.
I rolled one to make an Alliance twink (and fight the power!) and I found I enjoyed it a lot.
Furthermore, my main is a Priest. I was the main healer for my guild at level 60, but haver since (post-TBC) stuck to shadow.
I think EVERYONE who plays WoW should try 2 of the 3 roles (tank/DPS/healer) because you won't know ANYTHING about aggro until you do. As a healer I could tell if the tank was doing enough for me to heal him properly and as a DPSer I can tell if other members in my party are aggroing too much, too quickly.
I think overall you'll become a better player on your main if you try out an alt. "Walk a mile in his shoes..." kinda stuff.

Not that Mike Huckabee is going to be the Republican nominee, but he's put on an impressive showing tonight. His resiliency really seems to me to underscore how moribund orthodox conservatism is at the moment. On the one hand, John McCain is apparently going to win the nomination notwithstanding the fact that he's loathed by a significant swathe of conservative elites. And then on the other hand, Huckabee who's loathed by an even wider swathe of conservative elites keeps hanging around. He doesn't have the money or the policy substance necessary to break out of his niche, but his constituency — an important part of the GOP base — loves him and doesn't care what anyone says about it.

I have spent pretty much my whole uni break so far watching Dragon Ball Z, and I have had the most ridiculous amount of fun doing so. Seriously. And I don't even have nostalgia to colour it all childhood-y! This is the first time I've ever watched it through. I have the amazing TeamFourStar to thank, because they got me into it. In fact, I watched all of Abridged before watching any actual DBZ. Thanks for a new love/fandom, guys!

Noble today unveiled its latest supercar, the new M15. The 455 hp M15 accelerates from 0-60mph in less than 3.3 seconds and 10-100mph in less than 8 seconds.
"We're delighted with this new car's all-round skills and the I reckon there's not a car in its class to touch it dynamically. After all, it's still a Noble!"
With a 455bhp version of the tried and trusted three-litre twin turbo engine Noble has come to rely on, this is also the quickest car ever to emerge from Barwell, Leicestershire. With the complementary figure of 455lb/ft of torque, all in a car that weighs slightly more than 2645 lbs, the M15 is devastatingly fast.
The M15 accelerates from 0-60mph in less than 3.3 seconds and 10 100mph in less than 8s. It keeps going all the way to 185mph, too, and has been tuned for rapid acceleration throughout the range rather than an easily achievable 200mph top end speed.
Supreme cornering skills and a confidence-inspiring chassis are part the DNA and, in this respect, the M15 promises to be the best yet. The spaceframe chassis with integral rollcage is 57 per cent stiffer than the M12 that has won plaudits throughout the world and intensive development has ensured that the fabled Noble handling on the limit is even better than before.

Jennie Linn McCormack was not interested in becoming a poster child for illegal abortion when she made the decision to get RU486 (the "abortion pill") off the Internet and induce an abortion. She thought she was 12 weeks along and she made her decision out of sheer necessity. But now, having been charged for a crime (the charges were later dropped), she has inadvertently become a huge story in the abortion debate.
Already a mom of three, McCormack's boyfriend and father of her fetus had just gone to jail. She was unemployed and living on $250 a month in child support for one of her three kids. It wasn't an ideal time to fall pregnant. So when she did, she decided to ask her sister to get RU486 on the Internet. She thought she was 12 weeks pregnant, but she was more like 20, thus making it a later term abortion. Because she was in Idaho and a friend reported it, she went to jail.
Idaho has a law dating back to 1972 that makes it a crime punishable by five years in prison for a woman to induce her own abortion. Though she was eventually released, her mug shot was in the paper and her anonymity destroyed. All because she made a difficult choice favoring her three living children.
At first glance, McCormack isn't very sympathetic. At the very least, she should have seen a doctor to confirm how far along she was and then she could have pursued legal means of termination.
But the fact is, she was living well below the poverty line with three children, including one 2-year-old to care for. Her access to abortion was limited, so even if she could have afforded the babysitter, she would have had to make the 2.5-hour drive to Salt Lake City to get the abortion; the mandatory waiting period would have meant she had to do it twice. She also had no computer, no car, and no sitter. So how was she supposed to deal with it?
We can argue all day long about whether she was making the right choice, but, in the end, it's no one else's choice but hers. She was thinking of the living, breathing children she had to feed on the outside of her body. No one can fault her for trying to take care of them the best she could.
But no one is talking about them. They are all talking about the fetus she aborted. It's unconscionable and really the height of hypocrisy. Pro-lifers want us to believe they care about children, but no one is really questioning whether arresting these three children's mother was the best option for them.
She may very well have found people willing to house her and feed her through her pregnancy. But after that? Then what? McCormack made a brave choice and a loving one for the children she had, and she is being vilified for it. It's simply outrageous.
Do you think she should be in trouble?
Image via World Can't Wait/Flickr
If she was that poor and couldn't care for the children she already had, why didn't she use BIRTH CONTROL?
you can ask the why's and how's all day long but it doesn't change what happened. she did what she needed to do and why does it matter WHO induces an abortion as long as the mother wants it done. she would have figured out how to do one way or another she chose a "safer" method than some women do.
Birth Control is not something that works 100% of the time. I was on Birth control when I got pregnant with my third, sometimes, things, simply, happen.
If she was really doing it for her children wouldn't she have aborted a little earlier? Like at 6 or 8 weeks when she very first found out? If I was in her situation and knew I couldn't care for the baby I would either put it up for adoption right then or abort ASAP I surely wouldn't wait around for the poor baby to get any bigger.
Its her body.......I'm tired of people trying to control what we do to our bodies!!!
She shouldn't be in jail that's just ridiculous.
@WhitneySM she probably couldn't afford to get birth control....and even if she had been taking it she still could have gotten pregnant. I'm 29 weeks pregnant and I had the Nuva Ring in when I conceived.
@GigantaursMommy - Maybe she didn't know she was pregnant....my mom was 4months pregnant with my little brother when she found out. She was still having her period.
She broke the law. Period. If she were truly thinking about her children, she wouldvhave 1) Not gotten pregnant in the first place or 2) Gotten a legal abortion or 3) Placed the baby up for adoption.
She isn't being punished by "pro-lifers", she's being punished because of her own decision to break the law.
Obviously when one is unemployed and in poverty, birth control is not always affordable. I do agree that she should have made that decision sooner but it is absolutely ridiculous to put her in jail and take her away from her other children for it.

Back when Top Gear conceived the idea of the "Reasonably Priced-Car," they would sit around planning on inviting some of the world's most famous celebrities, often cracking at the thought of seeing Tom Cruise sitting behind the wheel of a "crappy Korean hatchback".
Years and years after that, Top Gear finally got its wish when both Cruise and Knight and Day co-star Cameron Diaz dropped by the show to promote their new movie, which is scheduled for release in the UK on August 6.
Not only did they drop by, but Top Gear's dream scenario of Cruise – and Diaz – driving a Korean car also came to fruition when the pair each took turns behind the wheel of a Kia Cee'd to set their lap times for the "Reasonably Priced Car" challenge. And yes, Diaz also tried to take off the Stig's helmet in a photo shoot, knowing full well that if she were successful, she would have been more famous than Cruise will ever be for being the person to unearth the identity of the enigmatic test driver.

UPDATE: I had a phone conversion with Brett Shearing, Business Development Manager at Commission Junction, who told me the search marketing services will only be offered to their vendors. UPDATE
Seems affiliate marketing giant Commission Junction wants to start offering search marketing services, according to an email I received today.
It states they have been offering this to an exclusive group of advertisers for the past three years.

Hello again newgrounds! Over xmass I had 2 spare days and decided to do this silly animation about Butter Notch. For those of you not in the know ButterNotch is an idea that the yogscast and others came up with when chatting in a live stream. They were talking about an occasion when Notch was in an interview and brought up the lack of butter currently in Denmark. (There having a butter shortage.)
Weird, obscure, and dumb I know. However I haven't touched flash since my last flash here on newgrounds and I really thought I'd like to keep at it. (Improve through practice and whatnot.)
Also HUGE thanks to Adam-Beilgard for doing my audio! Your the best man. /brohuguntillitgetscreepy
P.S. If anyone knows why I had such a hard time with file size please let me know it took me forever to mess with it to get it under the 10 mb limit.

I don't really get it. Pretty funny cartoon, I guess...this kind of humor doesn't appeal to me, though. How did a fairly obscure fellow outside the internet rubbing butter on his stomach beat out countless months of blood, tears, and sweat? Not to say that the artist here didn't work really hard...but....it's just.....jesus.

Filmmaker Peter Farrelly didn't know much about Atlanta before he and his brother Bobby Farrelly started making movies here.
"I didn't know Atlanta from a hole in the wall," said Farrelly, who with his brother shot the comedy Owen Wilson-Jason Sudeikis buddy comedy "Hall Pass" here in 2010 and may return this fall for "Dumb and Dumber 2″ with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels (not to be confused with "Dumb and Dumberer).
"It's still up in the air right now," he said. "But I guarantee we'll be back."
For now, the Farrelly brothers are promoting their made-in-Atlanta "Three Stooges" movie, set for an April 13 release.
"It's the most pressure I've had since my honeymoon," Farrelly quipped, referring to the pressure of creating a modern version of the beloved comic trio. "There's a lot of people saying it's sacrilege to do a movie about the Three Stooges. Our take was it's sacrilege that so many kids don't know the Three Stooges."
You can introduce your kids to the slapstick classic with a "Three Stooges" themed game that's part of an Easter event happening from 1 to 4 p.m. today at Atlantic Station. Festivities include face painting and photos with the Easter Bunny. The Stooges' "inflatable wrecking ball game" will give you a shot at winning posters and passes to an advance screening. It's free and open to the public.
The movie stars Sean Hayes, Will Sasso and Chris Chris Diamantopoulos as Larry, Curly and Moe; along with Jennifer Hudson, Sofía Vergara, Jane Lynch, Larry David and a cameo with some of the "Jersey Shore" crew. You'll be able to spot local landmarks in the movie, including Stone Mountain Park (transformed into a zoo for the film), the Atlanta Civic Center and downtown streets.
"I love the city, love the restaurants, I love the people," Farrelly said. "I swear, right now I am wearing an Atlanta Braves T-shirt."

Met those guys. Nicest dudes in the history of the film industry.
I visted the set of Hall Pass back in 2010, which I was reluctant to do but they were filming at a country club my parents are members of, and after meeting a few people I'm all of sudden talking to Bobby Farelly. He's talking to me like I'm one of his actors.
Then I meet Peter and he's like, "Why don't you just hang out and get something to eat? Come back tomorrow."
People in film, directors in particular… no, actually everybody in the film industry, gigantic a-holes.
Across the board. People who act like they're doing the Lord's work making some straight to video piece of crap.
The Farelly brothers are down to earth cool dudes.

My 93 year old father in law saw the Three Stooges live in a USO-type show 70+ years ago, and talks about it from time to time, so I plan to take him to the movie. (His first movie in about 20 years, too.)

My earliest memory of classical music was Curly lip-syncing Strauss's "Voice of Spring." If you remember the original Stooges shows were not GWTW either, nor even "Duck Soup." Unique humor, as American as the Pythons are British.

As a Stooge fan I can endorse what I've seen so far. Here's hoping the whole movie lives up to the trailers. Looks like an faithful reproduction of the Stooge spirit.

New Jersey Celebrates Rider University Solar Farm
New Jersey celebrated the launch of a new solar farm at this week's ribbon cutting ceremony at Rider University. RGS Energy, formerly Alteris Renewables, recently commissioned the university's 0.74 megawatt (MW) solar installation. The ground mounted solar array, located on a 3.2 acre field on the Mercer County, NJ campus, is comprised of 2,640 solar panels.
The pv system is grid-tied, so the power is not only utilized by the university, but is used by the local community as well. The solar panels are expected to produce enough energy to supply power for about 125 homes.
PSE&G, the local utility provider, owns the pv system and provides the university with a leasing agreement. The university will earn income depending upon how much energy the solar array produces.
"The Rider University solar project shows how the benefits of solar power extend far beyond just producing clean, carbon-free electricity," said Al Matos, PSE&G's Vice President of Renewables and Energy Solutions. "Solar 4 All lease payments can unlock the value of unused parcels of land like this one while also creating good jobs, helping solar-related businesses take root and developing the New Jersey solar market in a cost effective way."
Andew Kern, Director of Project Development for Alteris' NJ commercial solar program, was a guest speaker during the ribbon cutting ceremony. He explained "as an alumni I was personally invested in working with my alma mater to bring this project to fruition. The solar installation will benefit the University and its community for years to come."
The new 740 kW solar installation is one of the university's many green initiatives that include food waste and techno-trash recycling, a bee hive and a community garden. "This project further demonstrates Rider's continuing commitment to sustainability as well as the spirit of collaboration with other green organizations such as PSE&G," said Mike Reca, Rider's Associate Vice President for Facilities and Auxiliary Services. "It is also important for our local and regional community to develop and utilize energy alternatives such as solar power."

Some tips from a CEO who nearly lost his job. (Hint: crying helps.)
What corner of Bushwick do you have to choose to get an NYC luxury apartment for $4,500?
What is the price of a cup of coffee at McDonalds or Dunkin Donuts or local equivalent in each of those cities? How do transit costs compare? Would eating local food in the sense of the food most middle class people eat in each of those cities change the cost of food?
I'm a little skeptical about some of these prices, both up and down. 4500 is right about the price of an apartment in the city. There simply aren't any at that price that could be called "luxury." Also, these prices for jeans are pretty extreme. Last pair I bought in Manhattan was about $65.00 (Levis). Do they mean "Designer" jeans? If so, those could be any price.
I can assure you that the examples for Moscow are about double the actual price. I am not sure who is doing these calculations.
Who does the research at WSJ?
I have lived in Japan for 12 years and I have never paid that much for a coffee. NEVER!
There is a Startbucks on every corner and the coffee costs the same as everywhere else.
Few places charge over $6 USD for a regular coffee in Tokyo (upscale hotels and restaurants are the exception). Tokyo gets an unfair reputation for being expensive. Prices for food/clothes/etc may not be as cheap as the US but they can still be very reasonable.
Many expats go through the "I'll pay anything to get a taste of home" phase, but then they learn the ropes. You can get coffee in Hong Kong, New York, and just about anywhere for around $2 dollars. There are a lot of expats who live in smaller cities where the cost of living is dramatically cut .
Yet another sensationalist piece…
The average price for a cup of coffee in Tokyo is 350 Yen or 4.40 USD. That is close to 1/2 of what the study is claiming. The rent of 4,848 is a bit on the low side, but pretty close. The movie ticket price is accurate. Blue Jeans can be 10 dollars to 1000s of dollars. Not sure how the price that one out.
No. 33: New York
Rent for two-bedroom luxury apartment: $4,500
Movie ticket: $13.25
Pair of blue jeans: $54
International newspaper: $2.50
Cup of coffee: $4.40
for me, the most important cost/standard of living factors are standard housing, not "luxury" housing, a lack of pollution including smoking, the quality and cost of health care, a lack of litter, a lack of crime, and access to parks and nature. i don't drink coffee, i read newspapers online mostly for free, i don't go to movie theaters, and i rarely buy new clothes including blue jeans and when i do buy them they are generic label.
maybe the list needs to be revised.
I would be curious to know who and how the data was collected as it feels plain wrong. I lived in Tokyo many years and never paid that much for a coffee . At Doutor (the local Dunkin Donuts) it costs less than $3. Regarding clothes, if you don't go to department stores in Ginza, but go to brands like Unicqlo you will pay half the price mentioned for a pair of jeans. Regarding food it is also misleading to compare the price of a pound of cherries, there are imported and extremely expensive but you can eat local fruits like nashi (kind of pears). In every neighborhoods there are always small supermarkets will local products such as fish and vegetables very affordable. Renting apartments in Tokyo depends on the location of course so you can get a two or three bedroom apartment for $2,500 if you don't look for expat condos and apartments,
In Japan I pay Y350 for a very nice cappuccino. That's less than $4.50. And every place gives you the 11th coffee free which is worth another 9-10% discount. If you want to drink a latte at the Peninsula hotel in any city it's probably 10 bucks. Tokyo is expensive but it's so inefficient that it's easy to find cheap alternatives. I find London much more expensive. There don't seem to be any side streets offering a better deal for most goods so no way to really cut corners.
This survey is incredibly flawed and WSJ should know better than to just pump out a survey as if it were fact without even mentioning the most important factor in the entire survey: CURRENCY! "Can you imagine paying $8.29 for a cup of coffee in Tokyo? No, because you'd be spending the Japanese Yen you morons! And while 650yen ($8.29) "coffees" do exist, they are usually the highest-end cappuccino you'll find in an Italian style specialty cafe in central Tokyo rivaling any coffee in Rome (the best spot for a good espresso based coffee, Bear Pond, charges more like JPY350 (~$4.43) . Out of all the expats I know here, the vast majority are paid in local currency (JPY), so there really is not the same shock that the western media loves to display the prices of Tokyo when quoting in US Dollars. It really shows this newspaper's ignorance to the fact that the US gov't has destroyed the global purchasing power of the dollar throughout the financial crisis and THAT is the real story here. Buy a clue and write something about it….
I can't imagine paying $54 for a jeans. Last time I checked, there was still an Old Navy or two in NYC. It makes me think the rest of the cited prices are silly, too.
I agree with the other commentators, these prices are dead wrong. Everyone in the US thinks Tokyo is outrageously expensive, but it's not as bad as the media portray. An American sized 20oz. coffee might be expensive, but I wouldn't know because I always got a small cup for a reasonable price. And apartments are expensive, but the starting price for a studio is cheaper in Tokyo than San Francisco because they're smaller.
This article is pretty silly. As many other people have already mentioned, you can get coffee for a lot cheaper than $8.29. And if you're willing to "go native" and drink green tea instead, you'll save yourself a boatload of money. And "international newspapers" – does anyone seriously buy a physical newspaper from another country? Talk about a waste of money when everything is available for free online. As for movies, fast Japanese internet makes it trival to "acquire" them in HD for free after they've been released on Bluray & DVD.
What's really a concern in Tokyo is how much you spend on rent and transportation (though the latter is often paid for by one's employer). As a foreigner, most landlords will refuse to rent to you (don't bother complaining about racial discrimination, you're not in America), meaning those that do rent to foreigners charge a premium. Although Tokyo has a great public transportation system, it can get pricy, particularly when going outside of your designated "commute route", for which you can get a discount. If you're willing to bike, though (free exercise when gym membership is another cost you should try to avoid), you can multitask and save money.
Everyone who commented about the outrageous prices for common goods is right, but we need to look at the context of the survey, which is done for expatriate assignments for multinational companies. They typically ship a senior manager who doesn't speak the local language to a remote (for them anyway) location for two to three years. Due to language and cultural barriers, they seek premium good and services in foreigner ghettoes that were available to them at home for much less cost.
Those of us who've gone "local" or "native" don't have those same experiences, especially if our spouse is a native of our resident country. We have the inclination and skills to find what we want for less money, especially if we've replaced our morning latte with tea.
I agree with Odd's comment that the piece is sensationalist. The journalist and editor really need to bend over backwards to make it clear where these prices come from. I'm certainly not paying US$6.83 for a cup of coffee.
Who pays $4.40 for coffee in New York?
Really who pays $4.40 for a cup of Starbucks in NYC.
Anyone living in new york would know that there are cheaper (and equally good) alternatives to $4.40 coffee. Same for a pair of jeans and a 2 bedroom apartment.
In #16 Shanghai, where I live, the "Mercer's international basket of goods and services" is almost certainly overwhelmingly dominated by the "luxury two bedroom apartment" — almost certainly in one of the developments which furnish serviced top-end units to the employees of foreign companies. Those of us without stratospheric housing allowances (I work for a non-profit) pay about 25% of that (probably in a less trendy neighborhood), may walk to work, shop at Carrefours rather than the International Finance Center, and generally have a cost of living much lower than the expat lifestyle requires. http://notesonlifeinchina.blogspot.com/2011/07/real-cost-of-living-in-shanghai.html
I agree with Mark in Hong Kong! I think the journalist who wrote this aritcle has just taken very-very approximate prices! The majority of expats don't pay these prices for living in any country…

i live in japan for 17 years and i payed only 2.00 for a cup.
The real question is: if you're an expat, would cost influence your next decision…? And if so, where would you really want to live next…?

A weekend shake-up at EnergySolutions Inc. has toppled the two top executives and left Utahns and investors wondering what's next for the homegrown nuclear-waste company.
Many Utahns hadn't yet brushed their teeth Monday, when the Salt Lake City-based company announced Val John Christensen had resigned on Sunday as the company's president and chief executive officer and a new leader, money-management industry veteran David Lockwood, had taken over. EnergySolutions' board also replaced Chief Financial Officer William R. Benz with Gregory Wood.
Papers filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said Christensen will remain a strategic adviser at a consulting fee of $25,000 a month. He and Benz also will receive severance payouts — $3 million for Christensen and $1,085,400 for Benz.
In addition, the board warned investors EnergySolutions' annual earnings probably will fall short of previous projections.
Monday's news sent the company's stock plunging as shares fell by nearly 55 percent, closing at $1.62.
"The board determined that the time is right for new leadership so that the company is positioned to take advantage of its full, long-term potential in a changing industry environment," board chairman Steven R. Rogel said in a news release.
This seismic shift — coming two years after a similar high-level management change — spurred questions about the future of the company's hazardous waste sites.
For Utahns, the biggest concern centers on the mile-square landfill for low-level radioactive waste in Tooele County about 80 miles west of Salt Lake City.
The burial ground for more than 97 percent of all the contaminated waste that has gone to the nation's five low-level disposal sites, the Utah operation has been the company's rock-solid performer for two decades.
EnergySolutions spokesman Mark Walker said the management changes would have no effect on the landfill, including the prospect of accepting higher-hazard waste, blended waste and radioactive waste generated from foreign countries.
"Operations," Walker said, "will remain the same."
Once the site is filled up — or if the company shuts down — EnergySolutions has financial assurances totaling about $100 million to cover the costs of closing the landfill and maintaining it. Such a long-term arrangement is essential because of the future risks posed by the radioactive and other hazardous wastes at the site.
But as recently as last fall, Utah's Radiation Control Board suggested that the question of who owns the site itself — and any associated liabilities — still needs to be resolved. While the nation's four other radioactive waste sites are owned by either state or federal governments, the EnergySolutions property is owned by the company under an exemption granted by Utah regulators.
"The Legislature," the radiation board concluded, "should consider the ambiguities created by the present exemptions from the land ownership requirements of Utah rules, as they relate to long-term responsibility for monitoring and maintaining the closed and stabilized facility."
Rusty Lundberg, director of the Utah Division of Radiation Control, said addressing the site's long-term ownership is a policy decision for state lawmakers. In the interim, taxpayer interests are protected.
"We're very confident in the amount of funds available for closure and post-closure maintenance and monitoring of the facility," he said, "if EnergySolutions is in default or is financially insolvent."
The Healthy Environment Alliance of Utah said regulators should take note of the latest twists and stop EnergySolutions from expanding blended-waste operations.
"If the company has to go out of business, it's the people of Utah who will be responsible for this massive nuclear waste dump," said HEAL Policy Director Matt Pacenza. "There's no way that state officials should greenlight dangerous and unconventional nuclear waste to come into the state, especially while EnergySolutions' financial position is so precarious."
The company trimmed its 5,000-plus worldwide workforce in February. At its company's Tooele County landfill, EnergySolutions now employs about 200 workers, down from more than 400 in 2006.
Outside of Utah, investors and industry analysts remained jittery about the EnergySolutions shake-up. They have been watching intently for more than two years, since the board ousted CEO Steve Creamer.
The longtime Utah businessman, who once advocated a high-level nuclear waste site near Canyonlands National Park, led the purchase of the Tooele County landfillby investment groups in late 2004 and used the disposal site as the foundation for a vastly expanded nuclear conglomerate with waste cleanup, treatment and disposal projects primarily in North America and Europe.
But, barely two years after Creamer took the company public, Christensen, a former Franklin Covey executive, took over as CEO and promised to polish EnergySolutions' public image and boost its bottom line.
Walker pointed Monday to a recent Dan Jones opinion survey of registered voters that showed Utahns have more confidence in the company than ever, with 72 percent reporting a favorable view of EnergySolutions. It is a sign, he said, that a dogged outreach campaign — many of the ads featuring Christensen — has worked.
But investors instead saw eroding performance.
Lockwood, the new CEO, immediately reached out to them with a 7 a.m. Monday conference call.
He conceded the company's earnings will fall below projections. Instead of the $150 million to $160 million estimated last month, Lockwood said, the company now expects earnings of $130 million to $140 million.
"Our board is focused on maximizing shareholder value," said Lockwood, adding that the company is rethinking its growth path and profitability. "We know we have years of work ahead of us."
He noted the company has not seen the returns expected on its ZionSolutions nuclear-cleanup project in Illinois and is absorbing higher-than-anticipated costs. Then, on Friday, a trade publication called the RadWaste Monitor reported part of the company — probably the government-projects group — might be up for sale.
That news followed the company's failure in March to persuade the U.S. Energy Department to reconsider awarding another company a $121.2 million contract to clean up the Atlas uranium tailings outside of Moab. EnergySolutions' earlier work on that $1 billion project had given the company bragging rights for removing millions of tons of contaminated tailings from the edge of the Colorado River.
In New York, a federal court is hearing a class-action lawsuit brought against EnergySolutions by investors who accuse the leadership of misleading them after the initial public offering in November 2007.
Al Kaschalk, a financial analyst with Wedbush Securities Inc., has been bullish on the company but lately rated its stock "neutral."
"It's very clear," he said, "there's a lot of work to be done."
Whether Lockwood and Wood are the team to lead that effort, Kaschalk declined to say. But he did mention a concern industry insiders have raised: Shouldn't the leaders of a waste company to have a waste-industry background.
Charles Judd, a vocal critic who once ran the Tooele County site, also wondered whether the new managers would be sensitive enough to locals.
"Back when I was involved in the company," he said, "we thought it was important to keep local ties, especially with Tooele County."
Twitter: @ judyfutah
What about the Jazz arena?
No changes are in the works for the EnergySolutions Arena name.
The company landed naming rights for the home court of the Utah Jazz in 2006, and that contract has another four years, according to spokeswoman Linda Luchetti of the Larry H. Miller Group.

HHS Unveils National Quality Strategy
The Department of Health and Human Services on Monday unveiled a three-pronged National Quality Strategy that calls for developing patient-centered care, reducing costs, and improving general public health by supporting "proven interventions" that address unhealthy behavioral, social, and environmental issues.
The strategy was called for under the Affordable Care Act and marks the first effort to create national aims and priorities to guide local, state, and national efforts to improve healthcare, the Department of Health and Human Services said.
"The Affordable Care Act sets America on a path toward a higher quality healthcare system so we stop doing things that don't work for patients and start doing more of the things that do work," said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. "American hospitals, doctors, nurses and other healthcare providers are among the best in the world. With this ground-breaking strategy, we are working with local communities and health care providers to help patients and improve the health of all Americans."
While promoting quality care that is focused on patients, their families, and communities, the strategy also will reduce administrative burdens and facilitate care collaboration for doctors and other providers, HHS said.
To deliver on its goals of improving care, reducing costs, and improving public health, the strategy identified several "priorities." They are:
- Making care safer by reducing medical errors.
- Ensuring that patients and their families are engaged as partners in the care.
- Promoting the most effective prevention and treatment for leading causes of mortality, starting with cardiovascular disease.
- Working with communities to promote best practices for healthy living.
- Making healthcare affordable by developing new delivery models.
HHS said the strategy was developed both through evidence-based results and in collaboration with stakeholders, including federal and state agencies, local communities, provider organizations, clinicians, patients, businesses, employers, and payers.
The National Quality Strategy will be an evolving guide, and HHS said it will continue to work with stakeholders to create specific quantitative goals and measures for each priority. Different communities have different needs and assets, and the strategy will them to take different paths to achieving these goals, HHS said.
