Most metazoa use hexose transporters to acquire hexoses from their diet and as a transport form for distributing carbon and energy within their bodies; insects use trehalose, and plants use sucrose as their major form for translocation. Plant genomes contain at least three families of mono- and disaccharide transporters: monosaccharide/polyol transporters that are evolutionary closely related to the yeast and human glucose transporters, sucrose transporters of the SUT family, which similar to the hexose transporters belong to the major facilitator superfamily, but share only minimal amino acid sequence homology with the hexose transporters, and the family of SWEET sugar transporters conserved between animals and plants. Recently, the genome sequence of the spikemoss Selaginella has been determined. In order to study the evolution of sugar transport in plants, we carefully annotated of the complement of sugar transporters in Selaginella. We review the current knowledge regarding sugar transport in spikemoss and provide phylogenetic analyses of the complement of MST and SUT homologs in Selaginella (and Physcomitrella).
A hallmark of vascular plants is the transport of sugars and nitrogen from places of synthesis to sites that depend on external supply (Giaquinta, 1983). Green tissues engage in photosynthesis, produce sugars and assimilate inorganic nitrogen, and export excess to support non-photosynthetic tissues such as roots and reproductive organs. Key features include roots or root-like structures necessary for nutrient acquisition and vascularization of the sporophyte to bring nutrients from the root or root-like structures to the leaves and to transport photoassimilates to the root.
While most animals use glucose as the major transport form for carbon skeletons and energy between organs, many higher plants use the disaccharide sucrose for long distance translocation. In addition, plants also contain homologs of the human and yeast hexose transporters, most probably for either transport in and out of the vacuole as well as import of hexoses derived from extracellular metabolism via invertases. Moreover, members of the hexose transporter families in both plants and animals (solute transporter family SLC2) specialize in the transport of polyols. Importantly, as far as it has been tested, both animal and plant sugar transporters can transport a wide spectrum of other compounds such as secondary metabolites as well (for recent reviews, cf. Kühn and Grof, 2010; Ayre, 2011). Interestingly, insects have specific trehalose transporters that are used to transport this disaccharide between cells (Kikawada et al., 2007; Kanamori et al., 2010). Animals also have SUT sucrose transporter homologs (solute transporter family SLC45). The Drosophila homolog SCRT transports sucrose, is potentially located in intracellular melanosomes, and mutation leads to increased lethality. SRCT has been implicated in an essential role in transporting sucrose as an osmolytes as or as a nutrient (Meyer et al., 2011). Mutations in the mammalian SLC45 homologs lead to oculocutaneous albinism suggesting a critical role in melanosomes (Newton et al., 2001).
Here we will focus on the complement of sugar transporters of the SUT and MST (STP/ERD6) families of sugar transporters in one of the earlier land plants, Selaginella, the genome sequence of which has recently been published (Banks et al., 2011). The Selaginella genome also contains homologs of the recently identified SWEET transporter family, which will be reviewed independently (Chen et al., 2010, 2012; Sosso et al., in preparation).
Selaginella as a member of the lycophytes is part of an ancient lineage of vascular plants that had arisen ~400 million years ago (Banks, 2009). In angiosperms, which have attracted most of the attention for nutrient distribution so far, we have been able to identify many of the key transporters for organic carbon and reduced nitrogen. Sucrose is a dominant transport form for carbon and energy in many angiosperms, and the transporters for loading the phloem and for import of sucrose into the seed have been identified (Riesmeier et al., 1992). Interestingly, plants also have transporters for monosaccharides and sugar alcohols (Lalonde et al., 2004; Büttner, 2010). Their role is not always fully clear, thus an analysis of Selaginella as a representative of an ancient vascular plant may help shedding light on the evolution and function of these diverse transporters. Still not all parts of the angiosperms sugar transport engine are identified; major missing components include the efflux transporters required for nectar production, sugar efflux from roots into the rhizosphere, and efflux from the seed coat.
Besides sucrose, nitrogen is quantitatively the most relevant mineral nutrient. We also analyzed the Selaginella complement of genes for transporters involved in cellular uptake of ammonium, urea, and the translocation of amino acids (DeMichele et al., submitted; Wipf et al., submitted).
Bryophytes and Pteridophytes have been shown to contain glucose, fructose, and sucrose (Allsopp, 1951). Selaginella kraussiana and Selaginella caulescens do not seem to contain significant amounts of sucrose but rather trehalose. Interestingly, the genome of Selaginella moellendorffii contains homologs of both the monosaccharide and sucrose transporter families from Arabidopsis known today.
Physcomitrella growth seems unaffected by the presence of 0.5% glucose (Allsopp, 1951). However, this sugar could not be used by the moss as an alternative carbon source when photosynthesis was blocked by DCMU, nor did they grow in glucose in darkness, while Ceratodon showed some growth on glucose and sucrose (Allsopp, 1951). The ligule of Selaginella kraussiana has been shown to take up 3H-glucose (Sigee, 1976). Trehalose appears to be a dominant sugar in many Selaginella species (cf. ref. in Allsopp, 1951). The desiccation-tolerant Selaginella lepidophylla contains very high trehalose levels and a very high activity trehalose-6-phosphate synthase as compared to other plants, potentially suggesting that trehalose accumulation may be related to the resurrection phenotype (Van Dijck et al., 2002). Trehalose transporters have been identified in insects, where they function as facilitators and belong to the hexose transporter family (MFS; Kikawada et al., 2007). Plant trehalose transporters have not yet been characterized, however since the monosaccharide transporter family has not been analyzed systematically for trehalose transport activity, members of this family are prime candidates for such a function.
Analysis of the ubiquitous monosaccharide or hexose transporters as well as sugar alcohol transporters in Selaginella moellendorffii revealed the presence of at least 26 alleles (Figures (Figures1A–G;1A–G; Figure S1 in Supplementary Material provides full tree), while 54 homologs were found in Arabidopsis (Lalonde et al., 2004; Büttner, 2010) and 60 in rice. Moreover, the Selaginella monosaccharide transporter proteins are highly similar to their homologs in Physcomitrella patens (Johnson and Thomas, 2007). To be able to perform a direct comparison, the annotation in Physcomitrella needs to be improved, since in many cases the start codon is not correctly assigned, putative sequencing errors have lead to apparent frameshifts, and intron locations are in several cases probably not correctly assigned. The Selaginella annotation carried out in this project and the resulting improved gene models available for the Selaginella sugar transporters will be useful to improve the Physcomitrella annotation. Close homologs are also found in green algae such as Chlorella and Chlamydomonas, as well as in cyanobacteria, fungi, and in the animal kingdom including the important human GLUT glucose facilitators (HGNC Solute Carrier Family Series SLC2)1.
The putative monosaccharide transporter genes can be divided into seven subclades (Figures (Figures1A–G;1A–G; Table Table1;1; Figure S1 in Supplementary Material). The MSTs (STP/ERD6-like transporters) typically function as high affinity monosaccharide proton cotransporters in plants, here called MST (monosaccharide transporters) since they transport pentoses and various hexoses (Büttner, 2010). Three groups of transporters have been identified that play roles in vacuolar transport: (i) vacuolar ERD6-like transporters that function in facilitative transport of monosaccharides across the tonoplast membrane (Yamada et al., 2010); (ii) VGT-like transporters, that in Arabidopsis also localize to vacuolar membranes and function as a hexose transporters (Büttner, 2010); and (iii) TMTs, characterized by extended loops, that also function as vacuolar monosaccharide transporters (Wormit et al., 2006). pGLTs are plastidic glucose transporters (Weber et al., 2000), while INT-like transporters transport inositol (Schneider et al., 2008) and PLTs transport polyols (Reinders et al., 2005).
Consistent with sugar alcohols being involved in resurrection, there are both inositol and polyol transporter homologs in Selaginella. All three types of vacuolar monosaccharide transporters are found as well as plastidic glucose and Mex1-like maltose transporters (unpublished results). The overall composition is similar in Selaginella as in monocots such as rice, although we find a lower number of MSTs in Selaginella. Arabidopsis is characterized by a larger number of ERD6-like transporters compared to monocots and Selaginella.
To our knowledge, sucrose transport has not been studied in detail in mosses. Yet, sucrose can be used in media for axenic culture of mosses. For many higher plants, sucrose is the dominant form for sugar translocation. Sucrose, a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose [α-d-glucopyranosyl-(1↔2)-β-d-fructofuranoside] has a low viscosity even at high concentrations (soluble to several molar), has no reducing end, and is thus considered more inert than glucose, the major transport form in animals. Sucrose is produced in the mesophyll cells of plant leaves (as well as other organs) by the combined activity of sucrose phosphate synthase and sucrose phosphate phosphatase or by sucrose synthase. Sucrose is exported into the cell wall space by SWEET sucrose uniporters (Chen et al., 2012) (Giaquinta, 1983). Extracellular sucrose is then loaded into the long distance transport system of higher plants, the phloem, with the help of secondary active transporters in the membrane of the sieve element companion cell complex. The first sucrose transporter gene SUT1 was identified by expression cloning from spinach and potato leaf cDNA libraries in an engineered yeast strain (Riesmeier et al., 1992, 1993). Interestingly, the sucrose transporter also mediates transport of the disaccharide maltose and a variety of glucosides (Sivitz et al., 2005). SUT1 has an affinity for sucrose in the low micromolar range (around 1mM). SUT1 is essential for sucrose export from the leaves of potato and tobacco as shown by antisense repression (Riesmeier et al., 1994; Bürkle et al., 1998). The Arabidopsis homolog was called SUC2 and null mutation in SUC2 is lethal (Gottwald et al., 2000). Two more distantly related sucrose transporter homologs SUT2 and SUT4 were functionally characterized in the yeast expression system and shown to also transport sucrose and maltose (Barker et al., 2000; Weise et al., 2000). All three transporters have been localized to enucleate sieve elements (Kühn et al., 1997; Barker et al., 2000; Weise et al., 2000). A recent proteomic analysis identified the barley SUT4 homolog in the tonoplast membrane (Endler et al., 2006). AtSUT4/SUC4-fusions also localize to the tonoplast (Schneider et al., 2012) and contribute to export of sucrose from the vacuole (Schulz et al., 2011). SUT2 and SUT4 are low affinity sucrose transporters in Solanaceae and Arabidopsis. SUT2 is characterized by an extended central loop that contains conserved domains CCB1 and CCB2 (Lalonde et al., 2004). In tomato, LeSUT1 and LeSUT2 inhibition affects tomato fruit development, while the potato SUT4 appears to be important for a variety of functions flowering, tuberization, and shade avoidance response (Hackel et al., 2006; Chincinska et al., 2008). In poplar, RNAi (RNA interference) inhibition of the SUT4 paralog PtaSUT4 has been shown to affect the leaf/stem biomass ratio, implicating the vacuolar sucrose transporter SUT4 in sucrose partitioning, and biomass allocation (Payyavula et al., 2011). Such a evolutionary conserved role in biomass allocation is supported by similar findings in rice for the SUT4 family member OsSUT2 (which belongs to the SUT4 clade; Eom et al., 2011). Note that the nomenclature of sucrose transporters in Arabidopsis may differ. SUT1 and SUT3 are paralogs in tobacco (Lemoine et al., 1999) the corresponding genes in Arabidopsis are called SUC2 as well as SUC1, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. SUT2 has been called SUC3 and SUT4 has been called SUC4.
The genome of Selaginella was analyzed for the occurrence of sucrose transporter homologs (Table (Table1;1; Figure Figure2;2; Figure S2 in Supplementary Material provides full tree; Table S1 in Supplementary Material). Close homologs were identified in Physcomitrella; the haploid Selaginella genome encodes five sucrose transporter genes. The Selaginella SUT genes fall into two clades, SUT2 and a branch close, but clearly distinct from the SUT1 and SUT4-like clades found in higher plants (Lalonde et al., 2004). One member falls into the SUT2 clade and was named SmSUT2L1-1 (the allele from the second haploid line was called SmSUT2L1-2), as well as four genes in the SUT1/SUT4 branch (here named SUT4L1, SUT4L2, SUT4L3, SUT4L4). This classification is supported by similarities in the intron structure and the presence of an extended central loop containing a conserved CCB2 domain in the Selaginella and higher plant SUT2s (the CCB1 box is not conserved between Selaginella and Physcomitrella and all the other candidates containing this longer central loop). Monocots also do not have a SUT1 homolog, which is interesting since this transporter is essential for several dicots. Monocots have two types of SUT2, one with and one without a central loop. While it is conceivable that the mosses/spikemosses had lost one of the two. However, based on the distance to the higher plant SUT1 and SUT4 clades, it is more likely that this is an ancestral clade and that SUT1 and 4 evolved from this ancestral clade. We therefore named the clade moss SUT1/SUT4 clade.
Distant SUT homologs have been identified in fungi (Reinders and Ward, 2001). The Schizosaccharomyces pombe homolog was shown to function primarily as a maltose transporter, but also can transport sucrose (Reinders and Ward, 2001). Homologs also exist in the animal kingdom, e.g., medaka and mouse, which are directly or indirectly involved in melanin accumulation (Fukamachi et al., 2001). Interestingly, no SUT homologs have been found in green algae, while glucose transporters are well conserved in algae (Caspari et al., 1994).
Despite the importance of trehalose for plants and its occurrence in Selaginella, we have not found homologs of the insect-specific trehalose transporter family in Selaginella or Arabidopsis (Kikawada et al., 2007; Kanamori et al., 2010).
Taken together, the haploid genome of the spikemoss Selaginella contains 5 sucrose transporter homologs as well as 26 hexose/polyol transporter homologs. In addition, Selaginella also contains homologs of the recently identified SWEET transporter family (Chen et al., 2010, 2012). Unfortunately, at present it is not possible to assess the physiological function of these transporters in Selaginella due to the lack of tools for gene replacement and transformation. However the genome of the moss Physcomitrella appears to contain a similar complement of transporters in the two families, and all necessary tools for analyzing the physiological function of these genes are available. It will however be necessary to carefully annotate the respective gene annotation in Physcomitrella before entering in to such an endeavor. The careful annotation performed here for the Selaginella genes can serve as guidance for improving the Physcomitrella annotation.
Selaginella moellendorffii genes for monosaccharide and sucrose transporters were obtained by blasting a set of Arabidopsis transporter homologs (see Table Table1)1) against the Selaginella genome sequence at the JGI website2. When necessary (and if possible), gene models were modified according to the available information (i.e., ESTs) and a new gene model was promoted. A list containing protein identifier numbers, sequences, and links to the JGI database of all Selaginella proteins included is presented as Table S1 in Supplementary Material.
Monosaccharide and sucrose transporter families were treated separately. Multiple sequence alignments were generated using MEGA 5.0 software (Tamura et al., 2011). The quality of the alignments was assessed and non-homologous sequences were removed at beginning and end of the sequences. The phylogenetic analysis was done using the maximum likelihood method and the consensus tree was inferred from 1000 bootstrap replicates. The analysis was done using only one Selaginella allele.
The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.

Considered one of Canada's most popular and successful female entrepreneurs, Arlene is an exemplary role model for moms in business; having recently founded You Inc, dedicated to serving, investing and promoting the advancement of entrepreneurial pursuits, Arlene was asked why there seems to be a such a strong prevalence of working mothers in the media recently and states, "Canadian women are strong, smart, and capable candidates for entrepreneurship - what we are seeing is a trend in today's busy society where mothers are able to fine tune their expertise and develop successful businesses that also work with their family life. That is not something easily done when working for someone else."
Arlene will be joined by an enviable roster of business leaders and mentors from across North America. Over 20 speakers and experts will share their greatest lessons, inspirations and best practices with hundreds of women who will travel from across Canada to hear, meet and learn from them. This year's speaker line-up spans all areas including business, marketing, accounting, work-life balance, health, nutrition and family expertise. Crowd favorites include: Dr. Joey Shulman; Wendy Bairos (Google Canada); Nancy Harris (Sr. VP SAGE); Eli Davidson (Author, Funky To Fabulous); Erica Ehm (Yummy Mummy Club); Jane Bradley (Parents Canada Magazine); Julie Cole (Mabel's Labels); Kathy Smart (Live the Smart Way); Paul Gaspar (UPS); Kim Wilson (CBC Kids) and more! Master of Ceremonies for the Gala Event will be 104.5 CHUM FM Host Amanda Logan.
The top 12 finalists were announced March 3rd, and now it's up to the well-rounded panel of expert judges to determine who the winner of the "Mompreneur® Award of Excellence" will be. The winner will be chosen based on a set of specific criteria including track record of success, innovation of business idea, opportunities for national and global expansion and impact on community.
Mompreneur® Showcase Group Inc, SavvyMom Media and Parents Canada Magazine, along with presenting sponsor Sage Group plc and contributing sponsors UPS Canada, SQUARE, and The Business Exchangehave teamed up to recognize and reward the country's top Mompreneur. The winner will be announced at the Annual Mompreneurs®

Impact of ice sheet induced North Atlantic oscillation on East Asian summer monsoon during an interglacial 500,000 years ago

Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 13, an interglacial about 500,000 years ago, is unique due to an exceptionally strong East Asia summer monsoon (EASM) occurring in a relatively cool climate with low greenhouse gas concentrations (GHG). This paper attempts to find one of the possible mechanisms for this seeming paradox. Simulations with an Earth System model LOVECLIM show that the presence of ice sheets over North America and Eurasia during MIS-13 induces a positive phase of the winter North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) like feature. The ocean having a longer memory than the atmosphere, the oceanic anomalies associated with NAO persists until summer. The signals of summer NAO are transmitted to East Asia to reinforce the monsoon there through the stationary waves excited at the Asian Jet entrance. The geopotential height shows clearly a mid-latitude wave train with positive anomalies over the eastern Mediterranean/Caspian Sea and the Okhotsk Sea and a negative anomaly over Lake Baikal. This reinforces the effect of the high-latitude wave train induced independently by the Eurasian ice sheet topography as shown in previous study. These features reinforce the Meiyu front and enhance the precipitation over East Asia. The results obtained from LOVECLIM are further confirmed by an atmospheric general circulation model, ARPEGE.

Alvin Toffler, Legendary Author of Future Shock, Dies at 87
Alvin Toffler, arguably the most influential futurist of the 20th century, died on Monday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 87 years old.
Alvin Toffler, arguably the most influential futurist of the 20th century, died on Monday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 87 years old.
There's a new bookstore in London that's touting itself as a haven for those who want to get away from information overload. Libreria has no wi-fi, and all tablets and phones are banned. But, without realizing it, this bookstore is demonstrating how the term "information overload" is all relative.
Will it be commonplace for people of the future to get their skin color artificially changed? Not just black or white or brown, but also orange and blue and grey? The 1972 documentary Future Shock, hosted by legendary director Orson Welles, imagined just such a world. "What happens to race?" Welles asks, when people…
In 1974, director Godfrey Reggio produced a series of public service announcements for the New Mexico Civil Liberties Union that were two parts "art house" and one part "makes u think." The ads are weird, for sure. But they're an interesting peek into the techno-reactionary fears of a country grappling with Watergate,…
In last night's episode of Continuum, the whole town of Vancouver goes bonkers. It's basically a total political/social meltdown, precipitated by the internetz. But really, all this madness is just various forms of future-shock, because the future is arriving ahead of schedule. Spoilers ahead...
The other day, we asked whether futureshock still exists — and depending on who you talk to, it's either everywhere or an obsolete idea. One of the people we wrote to didn't get back to us in time for our deadline, but when Mark Dery (inventor of the term "culture jamming" and noted writer about cyberculture) did…
It's been four decades since futurists Alvin and Heidi Toffler predicted a wave of "future shock," the sensation of panic and unease that happens when people are "overwhelmed by change." And, depending on who you talk to you, we're either in the middle of a huge epidemic of future shock, with people struggling to…
The shiny happy futurism of the 1950s gave way to much darker predictions for humanity in the 1970s. With energy crises, fears of terrorism and skyrocketing unemployment, it's really no wonder that Americans of the 1970s were often pessimistic about the future.
The 1979 book The Micro Millennium heralded the arrival of the microprocessor as a revolution that would forever change our lives. From the back cover of the 1981 paperback edition:
The August 3, 1970 issue of Time magazine profiles Alvin Toffler and his book Future Shock. An excerpt appears below but you can read the entire article here.
As I've asserted before, Future Shock is probably the strangest motion picture ever to claim the genre of documentary. While not altogether wrong about what the future holds, the film certainly presents its case in a rather dramatic and overstated manner. Case in point, "Babytoriums" of the future.
Below is a short clip from the 1972 paleo-futuristic documentary Future Shock. This segment focuses on the prospect of changing your skin color.
This clip from the 1972 film Future Shock depicts a man of the future starting his day with IQ pills and anti-depressant electrical shocks.
According to a review in The History Teacher, the movie Future Shock, hosted by Orson Welles, was shown on American TV in early 1974.

How to Apply
The MSc in Principles of Applied Neuropsychology examines the uses of neuropsychology in the clinical world. Studying the way the brain works is crucial to psychology and the understanding of human behaviour.
Neuropsychology is central to the debate about the spark of individuality each human shows. This course looks at social cognition and affective neuroscience, as well as studying the emerging field of the neuropsychology of psychopathology.
The course is an employability- centred extension to an undergraduate psychology degree. It is focused on Neuropsychology, but is suitable for any student interested in preparing for an eventual career as a professional psychologist.
Why study Principles of Applied Neuropsychology?
The course is an employability- centred extension to an undergraduate psychology degree. It is focused on Neuropsychology, but is suitable for any student interested in preparing for an eventual career as a professional psychologist.
Course structure
The course has four 30 credit core modules and a 60 credit dissertation module. These modules are Neuro- psychology, Social Neuropsychology of Mental Health, Neuropsychological Rehabilitation and Issues in Professional Practice. To gain the MSc you must complete all four taught modules and the dissertation module. There is also a Postgraduate Certificate, gained by successfully completing two taught modules, and a Postgraduate Diploma for the successful completion of four taught modules.
The course runs on one afternoon a week to allow you time to obtain relevant practical experience, should you wish to do so. You can study on a full-time or part-time basis, subject to a maximum of three years full-time or five years part-time for the MSc.
Issues in Professional Practice
This module introduces students to the principles of applied psychology and the processes of recovery and rehabilitation. It focuses on the core skills expected of a practitioner of applied psychology: assessment; formulation; intervention; evaluation; communication skills; and self- management skills. The embedded research skills in this module relate to the evaluation of clinical practice.
Social Neuropsychology of Mental Health This module includes a neuropsychological perspective on mental health problems. It features a series of lectures on psychosis, affective disorders, fear disorders, principles of cognitive behavioural therapy, and basic pharmacology. We also look at the relationship between psychopathology and criminality. The embedded research methods deal with applications to ethics committees, and performing a systematic literature review.
Advanced Neuropsychology
This module provides a clinical approach to degenerative disorders, ageing, communication disorders visual disorders, and childhood developmental disorders. The module focuses on the functions and dysfunctions of the frontal lobes, including the concepts of self and other. The embedded research methods include researching a patient population, and using test batteries.
Neuropsychological Rehabilitation
Neuropsychological rehabilitation exists to enable people to regain their footing in social and occupational spheres after brain injury. It does this in many ways, such as emotionally, functionally and cognitively. This module offers a broad theoretical perspective of the different methods of rehabilitation available for a range of disorders. We aim to provide not just theory but also guidance as to how you communicate that theory to patients, clients and other professionals.
This is the opportunity to investigate an area of neuropsychology of individual interest. As part of this module you are required to submit a 4,000–6,000 word paper, ready for publication in a specified journal, based on your research. You also have to demonstrate the ability to keep a detailed research log. The research undertaken by students must have a neuropsychological focus.
Course assessment
We have selected assessments with the aim to maximise experiences that will help with further study. For example, the dissertation element must be written in the form of a paper that is ready for submission in an established journal. In fact, we will encourage the submission of a research paper as the culmination of the Master's experience. We also offer assessments in less formal writing for magazines or newspapers. We aim to consolidate your literature searching skills, something that is crucial to get right for a PhD thesis and for writing grant proposals.
Teaching methods include lectures, seminars, individual tutorials, small and large group work, lab work and neuropsychological testing experience. There will be guest speakers from relevant employers as well as research talks from existing practitioners.

What students say...
Mark Brady, MSc Principles of Applied Neuropsychology
"MSc Principles of Applied Neuropsychology at Bath Spa University is unique in its course content. It teaches cutting-edge developments in theory and important practitioner skills using best practice approaches. It employs sophisticated assessments which prepare students for doctoral studies, and was ideal for me as I wish to pursue a career as a clinical psychologist. The course content was the principle reason for choosing Bath Spa University, but also the university is beautiful and easily accessible with relaxing learning environments. I particularly like the flexibility of the course; the fact we would frequently consider the implications of recent publications; the passion with which it is taught; and the availability of course tutors to discuss any queries about its content. The knowledge and experience gained on this course, alongside a greater sense of confidence in my understanding of psychological practice, will help with my application for a doctorate in clinical psychology."
Georgina Hughes, MSc Principles of Applied Neuropsychology, 2012
"I chose this course because I liked the range of modules available e.g. 'Issues in Professional Practice' was a particularly appealing module as this focused on teaching you the key skills and knowledge required to pursue a career as a Clinical Neuropsychologist. The lecturers are helpful and approachable and the campus is a small and friendly environment with great surroundings. I particularly like the variety of skills the course teaches you, for example you learn how to write in a range of different styles, for different audiences and publications. Since finishing I am working as an Honorary Assistant Psychologist within an Older Adults Mental Health team in the NHS. Studying for an MSc has helped me stand out from other graduates, which is highly beneficial due to psychology being such a competitive field."
Amy Jenkins, MSc Principles of Applied Neuropsychology
"I chose this course because I have a passion for, and interest in, the area of neuropsychology and to improve my chances of gaining a place on a doctorate course in Clinical Psychology. During the course links were made between clinical settings and what we were learning. The course structure was excellent with small class sizes, and the university has a beautiful location. On completing the course I successfully gained a full-time research position within the Cardiff University School of Medicine in an Alzheimer's disease project. The course will also help improve my chances of gaining a place on a clinical psychology doctorate course, or to gain entry to a graduate medical training programme. It is an excellent course, and if any graduates are interested in neuropsychology then I would strongly advise them to apply for a place. The lecturers are fantastic and incredibly supportive."

I'm sorry, but this just cracked me up If this isn't ironic, I don't know what is:
German newspaper apologises for gas advert in Auschwitz article
Updated: 07/Feb/2006 18:07
A German regional newspaper has issued an apology for publishing an advertisement for the "gas of tomorrow" on the same page as a story on the killing of Sinti people at the Auschwitz death camp.
The Landeszeitung Lueneburg said its editors had failed to notice that the bright red advert for a utility company entitled "Today, E.ON is taking care of the gas of tomorrow" was placed within an article about an exhibition recounting the death of the Sinti in the Nazis' most infamous camp.
"The linking of the subject of genocide in Auschwitz with this
advertisement was neither intended nor was it shrugged off. Unfortunately, it was a complete oversight," the paper said in the apology published on Tuesday on its website.
The paper said it had sent letters of apology to the Central Council of Sinti and Roma in Germany, the Central Council of Jews in Germany as well as to other victims' groups and to E.ON.
The Nazis killed an estimated half a million Sinti and Roma, often by gassing.
Insensitive? Probably. Hilarious? Hell ya

Con men are more appealing than run-of-the-mill villains, who want to take your money because they are stronger or more dangerous than you are. Con men want to take it because they're smarter than you are. And there is hardly ever a con man who isn't likable, because, after all, if he can't win your confidence, how can he take your money? Movies about con men are seductive because the audience is on both sides of the moral issues: We want to see justice done, of course, but at the same time we're intrigued by the audacity of this character who is trying to out-think his opposition.
You can see some of that seductiveness at work in David Mamet's "House of Games" (1987), where a woman psychologist grows fascinated by a con man and asks him to teach her some of the tricks of his trade. Does he ever. The con man is sweet and almost gentle as he devastates his victim. In a sense, he really does like her. In Stephen Frears' "The Grifters," there aren't any outsiders to be seduced, because the three central characters are all confidence tricksters. So they seduce each other.
The movie is based on a 1950s novel, but it's set in the present day. There are a few details that don't translate very well - today's con man probably wouldn't stay in a colorful fleabag hotel, but in a downtown executive suite - but the underlying story is universal. It involves the archetypal triangle of the lover, the loved one, and the authority figure who would separate them. The lover is Roy Dillon (John Cusack), a con man in his 20s, who isn't very good and pulls mostly small-time cons. The loved one is Myra Langtry (Annette Bening), who looks young and sexy but is probably older than she looks and certainly more dangerous than Roy realizes.
And the authority figure is Roy's mother, Lily (Anjelica Huston), who has been pulling cons since a very early age and considers everyone a potential victim. That list would certainly include her son.
Myra has knocked around the country a good deal, working as a sexy decoy for big-time con operators. Lily has an arrangement with a major sports gambling operation, and travels from one racetrack to another, placing large bets at the last minute to improve the odds.
Roy isn't in their league. He's still pulling nickel-and-dime stuff like walking into a bar and getting change for a $20 and then switching to a smaller bill. One day a bartender catches him at it and beats him up so badly that he almost dies.
It's in his hospital room that the two women meet, and unsheathe their claws. Roy doesn't realize it, but he's doomed right from the moment of their meeting, because for each of these women it is more important to win than to love, and poor dumb, sentimental Roy doesn't play in that league. He loves too easily, perhaps, and the movie suggests Oedipal possibilities long before the shocking final confrontation.
"The Grifters" is the first American production by Stephen Frears, one of the best new British directors. His credit list is short but distinguished: "My Beautiful Launderette," "Prick Up Your Ears," "Sammy and Rosie Get Laid" and "Dangerous Liaisons." All four films deal with labyrinths of passion, with characters deceiving others about the true nature of their loves. The story of "The Grifters" comes from a pulp novel by the recently rediscovered Jim Thompson, a poet of film noir whose books exist in a world of cynicism and despair, where characters put up a big front but are being gnawed inside by fear, guilt and low self-esteem. The screenplay is by another distinguished crime novelist, Donald Westlake, and for once here is a new movie that exudes the film noir spirit from its very pores, instead of just adding a few cosmetic touches to a modern chase-and-crash story.
The performances are all insidiously powerful. Cusack provides a sympathetic center for the film, as a kid with a burning ambition to be good at the con game, but with no particular talent and without the ruthlessness he will need. Anjelica Huston is Academy Award material as his mother, who had this child when she was a teenager and who has never fully accepted the fact that he is her son. And Annette Bening has some of that same combination of sexiness, danger and vulnerability you could see in Gloria Grahame in movies such as "The Big Heat" and "In a Lonely Place." One of the strengths of "The Grifters" is how everything adds up, and it all points toward the conclusion of the film, when all secrets will be revealed and all debts collected. This is a movie of plot, not episode. It's not just a series of things that happen to the characters, but a web, a maze of consequences; by the end, when Roy and his mother are facing each other in their last desperate confrontation, the full horror of their lives is laid bare.
Why do confidence operators do what they do? Why do they need to win our love and trust, and then betray us? In "The Grifters," it's pretty clear that they're locked into an old pattern of trust and betrayal that goes back to childhood, and that they're trying to get even. Poor Roy. He thinks he wants to be a great con man, and all he really wants is to find just one person he can safely love, one person who isn't trying to con him.

Comforting PresenceRate this encounter: Vicky - Sussex, England - July, 2008
My mother was in the hospital dying of cancer. Before she was admitted, she told me to make sure her bedroom curtains stayed open. This sounds strange but she hated having them drawn.
I had a dream a few weeks later. My mum said to me in the dream, "Shall I give you a gift?" When I woke up I thought, that wasn't my mum -- that was my grandmother.
When I went into mum's bedroom at the house, I found that her curtains were drawn and I knew that I had not done it! I then went to the hospital with my sister. Our mother said, "Where's my mum? She's been in and out all morning."
Later when I got home, I heard what sounded like a Geiger Counter and then I got this amazing feeling that the room was full of people! Some would say I was imagining it but I felt that it was my father and other friends and family who had passed on.
A few weeks later, we brought mum home to die as that was her wish. She was sleeping two hours before her actual death. I was taking a break with my sister when I saw a huge red orb -- just for a second. My sister also heard a clicking sound like a Geiger Counter.
I have since read that a red light is a death omen sometimes called a corpse light. I personally feel that it is an angel coming to take a soul away.
Soon after my mum's death, both me and my sister felt things like someone blowing on our necks. Sometimes, my sister felt someone playfully poking her in the ribs!
The only scary thing that happened was I started hearing scratching sounds in the walls. They seemed to go all the way around the room. This happened for about a week and it was something that I had never experienced before at that house.
I read somewhere that you can tell them to stop so I did that. I said, "Mum, if that's you, can you find another way of making your presence known as scratching noises just freaks me out!"
It stopped! I don't know if it was my mum's spirit or my mind making it happen as I was grieving. I have always experienced spirits, but to me this whole thing took away my fear of dying. I am positive that my deceased loved ones came to pick up mum's soul. I also think that they came to me that one time to comfort me.

I have studied the Bible for almost 50 years with over 30 of that in the ministry. It was my privilege to be introduced to Ariel Ministries at a prophecy conference in 1979. This was soon after I had left seminary where I had sat under the some of the same professors that Dr. Fruchtenbaum has studied with during his time at Dallas Theological Seminary and later some who had been his professors. Those some of them were critical of his stance on certain areas of prophecy they did not offer a better explanation of the issue. For almost 20 years I met a number of people, both scholars and those in the pews, who were aware of his teaching and they seemed to be mostly skeptical of his offering. In the last ten years there has been a major change in what I have been hearing. I have seen Dr. Fruchtenbaum's writings on many pastor's shelves and his writings quoted in many of the articles that I have read. It has been my privilege to host Dr. Fruchtenbaum in my home and the churches that I have pastored. For the last fourteen years I have served as the Protestant Chaplain at a California State Prison. Arnold has, on three occasions, delivered seminiars on the Word of God to the inmates at the prison. His materials are the most popular of all that they can obtain from the chapel libraries. Of all of the teachers I have been privileged to study under, Arnold has been to one that has opened my understanding of the Bible. I would encourage anyone who is serious aobut their Bible study to contact Ariel on the phone or at www.ariel.org.

After trying out countless churches in San Antonio, this is the one. The people are genuinely friendly and real. They share their ups and downs and support each other. Small groups meet for dinners, house gatherings, and time to know one another. The teaching comes straight from the Bible, section by section, not just words picked out here and there combined with one person's spin. Many in the congregation have spent their lives studying, even obtaining Bible degrees, in order to be more useful in the church and to teach others. Many opportunities here for community work and missions.
God is moving at Victory Temple in a mighty way. There is a fresh annointing of the Holy Spirit on Pastor Jubal Garcia (Freddie Garcia's son)....The vision of the church is to reach out to the unreachable and love the unloveable, just like Jesus did...Freddie Garcia humbled himself before God over 40 years ago and God has used this man to point countless men and women to Christ and the finished work of the cross and Christ has delivered them from the power of drugs(sin). There is NO match to the Power of Christ and that is what they teach at Victory Temple. Please come visit.....

Utopia, written in 1516 by Thomas More, is probably one of the most important books ever written. Why?. Simply because it influenced many people, and motivated many events: it made a difference.
Utopia means, literally, no place. The word didnt exist until More coined it in this book. He wanted to make a critic regarding the English society of his time, but needed to cloak it under a fictional mantle due to censure. Displeasing the king was very dangerous in Mores time.
What is this short novel about?. Well, More introduces us to an imaginary character, Raphael Hythloday, a traveler that has visited a distant country: Utopia. After meeting More, Raphael tells him about the country he visited, and afterwards More writes a book about what he was told.
To begin with, in that country community is more important that private aims, and that fact permeates all social and political life. There is no private propriety of the means of production, and everything belongs to everybody. Work is obligatory to all healthy men and women, and those who want to do nothing are punished with forced labor. There is no money, but everybody has what is needed to live well, although frugally. Thanks to the fact labor is well distributed, leisure time is available to all. As a result, men and women (equals in this society) can dedicate time to cultivate their minds.
Other important points that should be highlighted regarding Utopia, especially because they contrast strongly with the situation of Mores England, are that in this country all religions are allowed, and that there isnt an autocratic rule (a democratically elected assembly and different local governments are elected). All in all, equality prevails, and thanks to the above mentioned arrangements harmony is achieved.
Utopia was written a few years later that Machiavellis The Prince, but the differences between the two books are incredible. In Utopia instead of praising the power of princes More wanted to show clearly all that was wrong in English society because it was governed by a bad ruler. He didnt tell others to face reality: he asked them to criticize it, in order to improve it later. Thus, Moro established the essential traits of what was later known as the utopian method: to describe in other situation, with a prejudice of optimism, all that that we dont like in our society.
With Utopia Moro created a new way to mobilize energies, and showed options that had remained hidden from the eyes of those who werent happy with their societies. Behind the name of fiction, he gave politics new intruments of discussion, and opened to it novel ways of considering reality, in the light of what could/should be.
There is no politics without the idea that something better can be achieved, without the kind of imagination that allows us to think that something better is possible. Moro made that evident...
This book is highly recommended.

This paper will describe an on-going project at Bilkent University Library, Turkey, to create a series of instructional online videos aimed specifically at the so-called Net Generation (Generation Z) library users. These videos, which will be produced by doctoral students from the university's Communication and Design department in collaboration with the Library and will be uploaded to the world wide web. The videos seek to present basic reference and information problems in the form of short, informal dramatic exchanges between a student and a librarian, rather than using the formal pedagogical format of most traditional online tutorials.
