We could all use a faster metabolism when it comes to weight loss.
Follow these simple steps to speed up metabolism.
----------------------------------------------------------
1.Don't skip breakfast. While you sleep your body goes into energy conservation mode by slowing your metabolism. Eating first thing will help speed up metabolism by giving it a good kick start. A good breakfast consists of complex carbohydrates like oatmeal or whole grain bread, egg whites, and fruit like bananas.
2.Eat 5-6 meals a day. You don't need to eat more food just more frequently. By doing this your body knows that its energy source is steady and will burn more calories instead of storing it as fat for later use. This is a key factor in speeding up your metabolism.
3.Change what you eat. Just as eating more frequently will speed up your metabolism so will what you eat. Eating foods high in sugar content will cause your blood sugar to spike forcing your body to store it as fat. Try to eat more whole grain foods, fruits, and vegetables. Make sure to also balance your meals with protein (like egg whites and lean meats) and healthy fat (essential fatty acids found in nuts and fish).
4.Drink Green Tea. Green tea has amazing fat burning properties. Numerous studies have shown the positive effects it has on increasing metabolism. You will find green tea in many diet pills because of this.
5.Exercise. Ok, that's obvious but most people don't do it. If you aren't exercising start by doing something whether it's walking the dog or playing with the kids. You need to move your body to speed up your metabolism and burn calories.
6.Interval Training. Have you ever noticed that some people do a ton of cardio but stop losing weight after awhile? That's because their metabolism has stabilized. Your body's metabolism will quickly adapt to it's environment. To fix this use interval training by starting off at a slower speed and kicking it up to high levels then back down. There are many ways to do this. The key is to push your body to different levels. If you do it right you can really speed up your metabolism and burn a ton of calories.
7.Weight Training. By building more muscle your body's metabolism will speed up to support that new muscle, causing you to burn more calories. Women shouldn't fear weight training you don't have enough testosterone to bulk you up. If you really want a faster metabolism weight training is a must.

Radiation levels up to ten times higher than normal in Tokyo
Terrified residents began to flee Tokyo today as a nuclear power plant destroyed by the tsunami threatened to send a cloud of radioactive dust across Japan.
The Fukushima Dai-ichi plant suffered a third reactor explosion overnight and another reactor on the site caught fire.
Radiation levels are soaring across the country this afternoon as radioactive material is spewed directly into the atmosphere - while emergency crews fight to avoid a catastrophic meltdown.
Levels of radiation were ten times higher than normal in the capital today, as experts warned that people in Japan could face an increased cancer risk even if the crisis does not deteriorate.
The situation is worse for 140,000 people who live within an 18-mile exclusion zone around the plant. They were today ordered to stay indoors or be exposed to a dangerous level of radiation.

Why, Where, How, and When We Might Leave Our Home Planet
Humanity may have millennia to find a new home in the universe--or just a few years!
Earth won’t always be fit for occupation. We know that in two billion years or so, an expanding sun will boil away our oceans, leaving our home in the universe uninhabitable—unless, that is, we haven’t already been wiped out by the Andromeda galaxy, which is on a multibillion-year collision course with our Milky Way. Moreover, at least a third of the thousand mile-wide asteroids that hurtle across our orbital path will eventually crash into us, at a rate of about one every 300,000 years.

Biggest Full Moon in 19 Years
On March 19th, the moon will be closer to Earth than it's been since 1992. The full moon that night will appear about 14 percent larger and significantly brighter than usual, but despite the brightness, the supermoon has a dark side. Supermoons have been linked to massive natural disasters in the past, from earthquakes to floods--but that connection is typically touted by astrologists. Astronomers and scientists, with typical drollness, say a catastrophe is unlikely.

How Does Nuclear Radiation Do Its Damage?
Ionizing radiation—the kind that minerals, atom bombs and nuclear reactors emit—does one main thing to the human body: it weakens and breaks up DNA, either damaging cells enough to kill them or causing them to mutate in ways that may eventually lead to cancer.
After last earthquake and tsunami in Japan, four nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant are now damaged and releasing radiation. Workers trying to keep the reactors from getting worse are themselves being exposed, while the Japanese government has called for anyone within 20 kilometers of the plant to evacuate.
Nuclear radiation, unlike the radiation from a light bulb or a microwave, is energetic enough to ionize atoms by knocking off their electrons. This ionizing radiation can damage DNA molecules directly, by breaking the bonds between atoms, or it can ionize water molecules and form free radicals, which are highly reactive and also disrupt the bonds of surrounding molecules, including DNA...

Gravity satellite's Potato Earth & Virgin Oceanic ocean explorer
Gravity satellite yields 'Potato Earth' view
It looks like a giant potato in space.
And yet, the information in this model is the sharpest view we have of how gravity varies across the Earth.
The globe has been released by the team working on Europe's Goce satellite.
It is a highly exaggerated rendering, but it neatly illustrates how the tug we feel from the mass of rock under our feet is not the same in every location.

Sir Richard Branson may have already branded his Necker Nymph aero submarine with the "Virgin Oceanic" moniker, but he's now finally taken things to the next logical (and ambitious) step. He's just announced a new, full-fledged venture of the same name, which promises to do to nothing short of dive to the deepest part of each of the Earth's five oceans -- all within the next two years, no less.

Trying on the headsets that can read your mind
"Burn, burn!" I think, as I glare at the laptop in front of me. "Hurry up and burn!" No, I've not had a tech-support meltdown – I'm trying out MindWave, the latest device from brain-computer interface (BCI) firm NeuroSky, based in San Jose, California. On screen is a virtual barrel of gunpowder that I'm attempting to ignite by concentrating my attention, but I'm finding it hard to link my thoughts to fanning the animated flames.
"I sing a song in my head," suggests Tansy Brook, head of communications at NeuroSky – thinking of the lyrics helps her concentrate. She explains that it can take some time to train your thoughts to the system, but I really have no idea what I should be thinking about.
The device reading my thoughts is a lightweight headset with a band that reaches halfway across my forehead, at the end of which is a single electroencephalogram (EEG) sensor that Brook says is nearly as accurate as medical-grade devices, but at a fraction of the cost. It detects the strength of my beta and alpha brainwaves, which correspond to my attention and relaxation levels, and transmits them wirelessly to the laptop.

Researchers Succeed in Quantum Teleportation of Light Waves
In a real-life use of Schrödinger's theoretical paradoxical cat, researchers report that they were able to quickly transfer a complex set of quantum information while preserving its integrity. The information, in the form of light, was manipulated in such a way that it existed in two states at the same time, and it was destroyed in one spot and recreated in another. The new breakthrough is a major step toward building safe, effective quantum computers.
No felines were harmed in the making of this experiment, which actually studied wave packets of light that existed in a state of quantum superposition, meaning they existed in two different phases simultaneously. This phenomenon is described in Erwin Schrodinger’s quantum mechanics thought experiment, in which a cat is simultaneously dead and alive, depending on the state of a subatomic particle.
In this experiment, researchers in Australia and Japan were able to....
