A type of cell plentiful in the brain, long considered mainly the stuff that holds the brain together and oft-overlooked by scientists more interested in flashier cells known as neurons, wields more power in the brain than has been realized, according to new research published today in Science Signaling.
Neuroscientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center report that astrocytes are crucial for creating the proper environment for our brains to work. The team found that the cells play a key role in reducing or stopping the electrical signals that are considered brain activity, playing an active role in determining when cells called neurons fire and when they don't.
That is a big step forward from what scientists have long considered the role of astrocytes ? to nurture neurons and keep them healthy.
"Astrocytes have long been called housekeeping cells ? tending to neurons, nurturing them, and cleaning up after them," said Maiken Nedergaard, M.D., D.M.Sc., professor of Neurosurgery and leader of the study. "It turns out that they can influence the actions of neurons in ways that have not been realized."
Proper brain function relies on billions of electrical signals ? tiny molecular explosions, really ? happening remarkably in sync. Recalling the face of a loved one, swinging a baseball bat, walking down the street ? all those actions rely on electrical signals passed instantly along our nerves like a molecular hot potato from one brain cell to another.
For that to happen, the molecular brew of chemicals like sodium, calcium and potassium that brain cells reside in must be just right ? and astrocytes help to maintain that balanced environment. For instance, when a neuron sends an impulse, or fires, levels of potassium surrounding the cell jump dramatically, and those levels must come down immediately for the brain to work properly. Scientists have long known that that's a job for astrocytes ? sopping up excess potassium, ending the nerve pulse, and restoring the cells so they can fire again immediately.
In the paper in Science Signaling, Nedergaard's team discovered an expanded role for astrocytes. The team learned that in addition to simply absorbing excess potassium, astrocytes themselves can cause potassium levels around the neuron to drop, putting neuronal signaling to a stop.
"Far from only playing a passive role, astrocytes can initiate the uptake of potassium in a way that affects neuronal activity," said Nedergaard. "It's a simple, yet powerful mechanism for astrocytes to rapidly modulate neuronal activity."
Nedergaard has investigated the secret lives of astrocytes for more than two decades. She has shown how the cells communicate using calcium to signal. Nearly 20 years ago in a paper in Science, she pioneered the idea that glial cells like astrocytes communicate with neurons and affect them. Since then, has been a lot of speculation by other scientists that chemicals call gliotransmitters, such as glutamate and ATP, are key to this process.
In contrast, in the latest research Nedergaard's team found that another signaling system involving potassium is at work. By sucking up potassium, astrocytes quell the firing of neurons, increasing what scientists call "synaptic fidelity." Important brain signals are crisper and clearer because there is less unwanted activity or "chatter" among neurons that should not be firing. Such errant neuronal activity is linked to a plethora of disorders, including epilepsy, schizophrenia, and attention-deficit disorder.
"This gives us a new target for a disease like epilepsy, where signaling among brain cells is not as controlled as it should be," said Nedergaard, whose team is based in the Division of Glia Disease and Therapeutics of the Center for Translational Neuromedicine of the Department of Neurosurgery.
The first authors of the paper are Fushun Wang, Ph.D., research assistant professor of Neurosurgery; and graduate student Nathan Anthony Smith. They did much of the work by using a sophisticated laser-based system to monitor the activity of astrocytes in the living brain of rats and mice. The work by Smith, a graduate student in the University's neuroscience program, was supported by a Kirschstein National Research Service Award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
Other authors from Rochester include Takumi Fujita, Ph.D., post-doctoral associate; Takahiro Takano, Ph.D., assistant professor; Qiwu Xu, technical associate; and Lane Bekar, Ph.D., formerly research assistant professor, now at the University of Saskatchewan. Also contributing were Akemichi Baba of Hyogo University of Health Sciences in Japan, and Toshio Matsuda of Osaka University in Japan.
Nedergaard notes that the complexity and size of our astrocytes is one of few characteristics that differentiate our brains from rodents. Our astrocytes are bigger, faster, and much more complex in both structure and function. She has found that astrocytes contribute to conditions like stroke, Alzheimer's, epilepsy, and spinal cord injury.
"Astrocytes are integral to the most sophisticated brain processes," she added.
The latest paper caps a remarkable run for the Nedergaard group. In two months the team has published a paper on adenosine in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a paper on spinal cord injury in the Journal of Neuroscience, and two papers in Science Signaling on communication between neurons and astrocytes.

YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan ? The Defense Department is seeking greater authority from the president to prosecute servicemembers who abandon their pets ? a perennial problem within the transient military community.
The Pentagon wants to broaden its current animal cruelty policy to include abandonment and to cover personal pets, not just ?public animals? owned by the military, said Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale.
Troops already can be charged with ?dereliction of duty? and ?conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline? for abandoning or physically harming their family pets, Breasseale said. But specifying the bad behavior in the Manual for Courts-Martial ? the rulebook for prosecutions under the Uniform Code of Military Justice ? would strengthen those cases and increase the chance of prosecution.
Pet abandonment ?is a kind of cruelty,? he said. ?It is a kind of abuse.?
Animal rights advocates have been urging the military to take action for years. But some fear the problem may get worse since a military-contracted airline implemented a breed ban in March.
Tiffany Jackson of the Okinawan American Rescue Society said she has personally rescued about 20 pit bulls in the past three years that were abandoned on the island. Now because of this policy change, she fears there with be more, she said.
All pets treated at military veterinary facilities are required to be implanted with microchips that include owner information, which are used to track down negligent pet owners, military veterinarians have said. The Defense Department, however, does not track statistics related to animal abandonment and abuse, according to Breasseale.
President Barack Obama is expected to rule on the Pentagon?s request this spring, Breasseale said. Military justice experts say the president likely will sign off on the proposal, as is typically the case for proposed changes to the courts-martial manual.
Altering the UCMJ itself is much more contentious, they say, because it requires approval from Congress.
The Military Justice Commission, an independent reform group co-sponsored by the National Institute of Military Justice, noted the pet abandonment problem and the need for military intervention in its 2009 report.
?Because this abuse and abandonment often takes place overseas and is beyond the reach of local civilian authorities, servicemembers can go unpunished for the conduct,? the report said.
The U.S. military community has become notorious for pet abandonment in places such as Germany and Hawaii, home to large military populations.
In Kaiserslautern, Germany, local shelters refuse to let Americans adopt pets for fear the animals will be ditched when their owners leave the country. Last year, the Hawaii Legislature even asked the military to step in.
?Members of the military and Coast Guard often relinquish their pet to a local shelter, or worse, abandon the animal because they have no one available to care for it,? according to the March 2011 resolution.
It asked the military to ?make resources available to improve opportunities for continual care for domestic animals? and work with animal shelters and rescue organizations to resolve the issue.
U.S. Pacific Command responded by forming a working group, but it determined that the programs and policies already in place were both ?comprehensive and effective,? according to a?PACOM statement emailed to Stars and Stripes.
But the abandonment problem persists, said Lt. Theresa Donnelly, who last year launched Hawaii Military Pets, a private organization that promotes responsible pet ownership.
Even the possibility of prosecution for abandonment ?will get people talking about the issue,? the Hawaii-based sailor said.
But the root of the problem is more societal, she said.
?There?s still an attitude that a pet is disposable,? Donnelly said.
Military pet advocates support the Pentagon push for more authority to punish troops who abandon their animals, but many contend the effort shouldn?t stop there. They say streamlining the military?s various pet policies ? which vary from service to service, country to country and base to base ? and creating a website to access that information is also necessary.
?But let?s not be angry at those who give up their animals,? Donnelly said. ?Let?s educate them on ways they can keep their pets and create a community where a pet is considered a lifetime commitment.?

This is a guest post by Ryan Kaupe.
Local Businesses Models are changing constantly when the uses of Social Media are bringing in new customers all the time. Business models that have a large, loyal fan bases that use templates that have mass emails to deliver new deals, products, and company information is a thing of the past.
Yes, there is a certain niche for this marketing strategy for older customers, but using New Media tactics (Facebook) to publicize every aspect of your small business is a much more effective tool.
Traditional Email vs Facebook Email
Email ? Emails are usually acquired from hand-written inquiries from customers or mass lists that might be targeted customers.
This tool is ineffective for two reasons:
1) Many people set up spam email lists or folders that enable most company information to be lost in the hustle and bustle of other spam information.
2) Sending empty information to mass email lists can be negative public relations for annoying potential customer.
Facebook - Setting up a Facebook business group for your business is ideal. Customers that are loyal and willing to find out more about your company can ?Like? the page and find out easily and quickly the information they want.
With Facebook being the most searched website on Google, it is the ideal platform for providing new exciting deals about your company. Customers that see a status update about your business see it as way less intrusive than a blanketed email.
You can also see from comments and ?likes? which products, picture, promotional ideas, and miscellaneous items your customers appreciate the best.
To acquire these ?likes? initially on Facebook, you will have to use the old model of email however. When first creating the Facebook page, there is an option to start inviting potential fans of the page.
At this stage, it would be an ideal time to use the old model of the email list to send one mass email to all customers to come to the Facebook page and use this model from now on. The only time I suggest employing mass email lists is to invite customers to the page.
Integrating New and Old Media
After this initial process, your company should put the Facebook group on every hard paper material employed ? business cards, flyers, and email templates should all have the Facebook Group link and the company?s logo attached.
Not only is this a great marketing tool, but also it provides the potential customer the satisfaction that your business is in the new media platform.
Interacting with the Customer
Facebook is also a great way to easily interact with masses of customers in a public forum. You can answer simple questions in comments or updates instead of employing old techniques of sending individual emails. This also shows customers in a publicized culture that you are willing to help the customer in any way and is a great public relations tool to have positive feedback.
If you are skeptical in using this business model it is totally understandable, but the changing culture on the Internet and how customers interact with businesses they use makes it essential to do so. If you don?t think you are technically capable to do these tasks, there are multiple marketing companies that offer reliable deals with setting up these business marketing tools.
Ryan Kaupe integrates Facebook and marketing tools for varies of people and companies. On his spare time he does speaking gigs to help older generations integrate their business platforms to a younger audience.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Mohamed Merah, the French gunman who killed Jewish children and French soldiers and then died in a firefight with police this month, was hardly an unknown quantity to intelligence and law enforcement officials on both sides of the Atlantic.
Merah made two trips to Afghanistan between 2010 and 2012, and was detained by U.S. forces during the first. He had a record of moderately serious criminal activities in France. He was even interviewed by France's domestic spy agency, the Central Directorate for Domestic Intelligence, or DCRI, in November 2011, following his trips to South Asia.
With so many red flags, how was he able to roam the streets freely - and assemble a formidable cache of weapons - in France?
U.S. officials have declined to say why Merah was detained in Afghanistan or what happened to him then, although at some point he was sent back to France.
U.S. officials certainly had enough intelligence about his visits to militants in Afghanistan to put him on the "no fly" list, the most restrictive of a set of U.S. databases designed to monitor and control potentially dangerous suspects.
Being on that list, Merah would have been barred from boarding planes that take off and land in the United States, as well as aircraft that overfly U.S. territory.
Merah's case is just the latest to demonstrate the limits of intelligence gathering and analysis, and the use of that information against potentially, but not actively, violent suspects living in a democratic society, say current and former U.S. and European officials and private experts on counter-terrorism policy.
"The ability of Western law enforcement or intelligence services to prevent terrorist attacks from fellow citizens who have settled back home without acting on their intent to attack is fraught with complications and limitations," said Juan Zarate, a former senior adviser on counter-terrorism issues to former President George W. Bush.
LEGAL LIMITS, LOW PROFILE
"For all the concerns about law enforcement overreach after 9/11, the reality is that the detention of suspect citizens absent an overt act of criminality - merely based on associations or speech - is not legal," he said.
Zarate noted that while legal systems in France and Spain give authorities "much more flexibility" to pick up and hold suspects on looser evidence of involvement with militants, "there are still limitations dictated by law and democratic practices."
Zarate recalled another case of a "lone wolf" militant with many parallels to Merah's. In 2009, Carlos Bledsoe killed an Army private and wounded another soldier outside a military recruiting office in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Before then, Bledsoe had traveled to Yemen. There, according to testimony by his father to a U.S. congressional committee, he was arrested for overstaying his visa and held in a political prison, where he was interviewed by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.
"He returned home, was monitored, but ultimately woke up one morning and decided to kill Army recruiters," Zarate said.
Jean-Louis Bruguiere, a former magistrate who was France's top counter-terrorism investigator and still consults for security agencies, told Reuters that as he understands the case, Merah's engagement with militants in Afghanistan prompted French authorities to deem him potentially dangerous upon his return.
Back in France, however, he did not conspicuously hang out with people suspected of planning violence. This made it legally difficult for French authorities to detain him, Bruguiere said.
The French government has said there is no evidence Merah was formally a member of any radical Islamist group.
After events such as the September 11, 2001 al Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington and the July 7, 2005 attacks on London's transport system, U.S. and allied spy agencies allocated significant new resources to monitoring the activities of young men, often from Middle Eastern or South Asian backgrounds, who travel from the West to Afghanistan or Pakistan.
Some U.S. officials said one of the reasons Merah was on the no-fly list was that the rules for putting names on that list were relaxed following the latest in a series of intelligence and legal glitches related to counter-terrorism that date back to before the September 11 attacks.
Investigations by Congress and an official inquiry known as the 9/11 Commission, revealed that the CIA had tracked two future September 11 hijackers to a meeting with suspected militants in Malaysia in January 2000. After that, the two suspects traveled to the United States and lived for months in San Diego. But due to fumbling and misjudgments involving the CIA and FBI, U.S. agencies only launched a manhunt for the men a few days before the attacks, at which point it was too late.
After post-attack inquiries, the United States instituted aggressive new programs to collect intelligence and created a new National Intelligence Director's office and, under its auspices, a National Counterterrorism Center to improve analysis and foster more information-sharing among competing agencies.
Efforts by the United States and its allies to dismantle al Qaeda's central command and kill its leaders over the years became more effective, culminating in the U.S. commando raid in May 2011 in which Osama bin Laden was killed.
But as intelligence agencies moved towards greater centralization and coordination, militants took the opposite tack, creating al Qaeda affiliates and "franchises" in venues such as North and East Africa and Yemen.
Later, leaders of the decentralized militant networks, such as U.S.-born, English-speaking preacher Anwar al Awlaki, encouraged followers to radicalize themselves and embark on whatever violent militant gestures were within their capabilities. According to the new al Qaeda ethos, even failures could be deemed successes if they produced publicity.
Awlaki was killed in a U.S. drone strike in September 2011.
PROLIFERATION OF MILITANT FACTIONS
The proliferation of militant factions, and the atomization of al Qaeda's central command, created new challenges for Western security agencies which made their jobs more difficult.
In Britain, for example, an intelligence collection operation called "Operation Crevice" which began in 2003 targeted a group of British suspects with links to militants in Pakistan. Over time, this produced a database of more than 4,000 telephone contacts involving dozens of individuals with whom the principal intelligence targets had been in contact.
On July 7, 2005, two of the people who had been in contact with some of those principal targets were part of a four-man cell of suicide bombers who attacked London's subway and bus system, killing 52.
However, British authorities, including the principal domestic spy agency MI-5, did not realize they had intelligence in hand on the two suspects until after the attack as they had never called enough attention to themselves before for British intelligence to deem them high-priority surveillance targets.
The case of the failed Christmas Day 2009 bombing of a U.S.-bound aircraft also demonstrated that, in the face of a fragmented militant movement, intelligence improvements instituted by U.S. agencies were not foolproof.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a Nigerian-born militant who allegedly became radicalized by al Qaeda operatives while studying Arabic in Yemen, managed to board a Detroit-bound airliner with a bomb hidden in his underpants, even though U.S. intelligence agencies had collected direct and indirect clues that he might pose a threat.
His father, a wealthy businessman, warned the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria before the attempted attack that his son was involved with Islamic extremists in Yemen. Other fragmentary intelligence reporting, including telephone intercepts, suggested that Awlaki, or people close to him, were discussing using a Nigerian in a possible attack plot.
NEEDLE IN A BARN FULL OF HAYSTACKS
But at the time, intelligence officials said, U.S. and allied agencies were trying to trace and sort through "tens of thousands" of email account holders who had been in contact with Awlaki in Yemen, the spy equivalent of looking for a needle in a barn full of haystacks.
Ultimately, the scraps of intelligence U.S. agencies had on Abdulmutallab and his plot were not assembled until after he failed to ignite his bomb as his flight began its descent in U.S. airspace. He was subdued by passengers, convicted, and jailed for life earlier this year.
While their literary exponents and political opponents portray spy agencies as both omnipotent and omniscient, current and former counterterrorism officials say the case of Mohamed Merah is just the latest chapter in what is likely to be a continuing run of intelligence misses and near-misses.
Merah's actions, said Bruce Riedel, a former senior CIA analyst who has advised President Barack Obama on counterterrorism policy, are "straight out of the new al Qaeda strategy of smaller attacks using Western citizens who get training and indoctrination in Pakistan and then go kill the targets of the global jihad ? Crusaders and Zionists.
"These attacks," he said, "are extremely difficult to preempt because the plot is so small you can't get inside of it."

MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) -Two goals from Aldo de Nigris helped reigning champion Monterrey beat fellow Mexican side Pumas UNAM 3-0 on Wednesday in the CONCACAF Champions League semifinal first leg.
Hector Morales got the first goal in the 7th minute, with de Nigris adding his double in the second half. Chilean international Humberto Suazo set up all three goals.
The second leg is scheduled for next Wednesday in Mexico City, with the final to be against either Mexican side Santos Laguna or Toronto, who drew 1-1 in their semifinal first leg.
Morales opened the scoring early, back-heeling in a low cross from Suazo, as hosts Monterrey put pressure on Pumas early in the game.
De Nigris broke free at the backpost in the 60th to nod in Suazo's cross and extend Monterrey*s lead to two goals.
De Nigris added his second in the 72nd, turning a defender and slotting a left-foot shot into the corner of the net from inside the area, after being put through by Suazo.
In Toronto, the hosts were held to a draw, giving Santos Laguna the edge heading into the home return leg.
American Herculez Gomez scored for Santos in the 30th minute. It was his ninth of the season and fourth in this competition.
Miguel Aceval equalized for the Canadian club in the 37th minute but the hosts could not find a go-ahead goal despite having a man advantage in the closing minutes.
The winner of the CONCACAF Champions League participates in the Club World Cup, scheduled to be held in Japan in December.

Even if you are buying your home only for yourself, you should have someone go with you to look at the house, preferably someone with home buying experience. This person can be very helpful in noticing issues in the house that you missed. A second opinion might be valuable, especially when asking the realtor questions.
When you officially decide to purchase a home, don?t forget all the other options that are available. It takes a while to find the right property for your goals and strategy.
If you made the seller an offer that was rejected, they may still find some way to make the home affordable so you buy it. They might offer to make certain repairs to the house, or even pay your closing costs.
If you are interested in a rental property, make inquiries regarding who is responsible for the gardening before you sign the lease. Some rentals require the tenant to perform yard duties. Often times, if the landlord provides the landscaping, they will work the cost of the service into your monthly rental payments.
If you want to purchase a foreclosed home, be aware that it will most likely need repairs. Most foreclosed properties are in need of repair, because they have not been maintained for a very long time. If you are buying a foreclosed home, it will probably need new heating and air conditioning systems, as well as pest control services.
You must research the neighborhood of a home before you buy. If you find that this neighborhood does not correspond to your needs, this home is not a good choice for you. It?s essential to research the neighborhood, so you truly understand what you are buying into.
A good tip before buying in a neighborhood is to look at the registry for sex offenders in that area before you sign the contract. Do your own research on finding sex offender data around the area of your new home. Don?t expect a real estate agent to volunteer that information, especially if the area might not end up being the safest to live in. Give yourself some peace of mind by checking for yourself.
Prioritize your goals when negotiating your real estate deals. Make sure you include every issue under negotiation, including whatever expectations you hold for each. The strength of your desire on an issue can help you establish your highest priorities. You cannot get everything that you want when you negotiate. Flexibility is key to getting the things you really do want.
From the information laid out here, you have probably learned something that you can benefit from when you are purchasing real estate. Anyone you help could always help you back in future.

Lee Hirsch's Bully can't help but move you. It's an important and powerful film, one that should be required viewing for kids of any age - and their parents.
With luck, The Weinstein Company will prevail in its battle against the R-rating conferred upon the film by the myopic and narrow-minded MPAA ratings board. The rating supposedly is based on the fact that several kids in the film are captured on film saying the word "fuck." Needless to say, kids of all ages have heard it - and are probably using it regularly, whether their parents know it or not. Who is the MPAA protecting?
Hirsch's film examines the cases of a half-dozen different kids around the country. And, while the right-wing crowd undoubtedly expects the kind of bullying that leads to teen suicide to be a product of the godless urban environment of the East and West Coasts, Hirsch's camera takes viewers to such urban hubs as Sioux City, Iowa, and Yazoo County, Miss. He films in Georgia, Oklahoma - hey, the kids in this film are mostly smack dab in the middle of the Bible Belt.
The film starts on a heart-breaking note in Murray County, Ga., with the parents of a teen named Tyler Long, who hung himself at 17. As his parents note, he never came home bloodied or the victim of obvious physical violence. And yet he suffered severe enough abuse from his peers that he finally ended his own life.
Hirsch checks in regularly with an Iowa 12-year-old named Alex, whose classmates are so blas? about the kind of cruelty they visit upon him that they regularly choke and punch him on the school bus in front of Hirsch's camera. Alex, bespectacled and gangly, protests, but to no avail.
The film hop-scotches around the South: to a small Oklahoma town where a 16-year-old gay teen is vilified by classmates and even neighbors; to Yazoo, Miss., where a 14-year-old girl is jailed for taking her mother's gun on the school bus and threatening her tormenters; and back to Oklahoma, where a pre-teen talks about his own history of bullying and how he changed his ways - only to see his best friend kill himself because of the bullying of others.
It also returns to Tyler's parents, as they struggle with the local school administration to get bullying taken seriously. But that is the most depressing part of the film: the inability of the schools to find an effective method to stop the abuse (and the apparent absence of the parents of bullies in the process).
At one point, Hirsch captures a vice principal at Alex's middle school, forcing two boys to shake hands after a playground altercation. One boy easily sticks out his hand when told to shake and make up; the other sullenly offers first his left hand, then a half-hearted right hand after being admonished by the vice principal.
But as she scolds the less-eager lad, you realize that he, in fact, is a long-time victim of the other boy - who obviously knew he was getting off easy with a handshake. The victim stands his ground with the vice principal, who actually tries to equate his refusal to shake hands with the constant physical and verbal abuse the victim was suffering. The same administrator can only offer platitudes and a weak "We'll take care of it" when Alex's parents confront her with Hirsch's footage of Alex being stabbed with pencils and punched on the bus.
Ultimately, of course, it's as much about the parents of bullies as the teachers and administrators - and no one is apparently doing anything meaningful. So it's up to the parents of the victims to use the Internet to start a nationwide anti-bullying campaign - which one despairing pair of parents (of another child who committed suicide) take up with a vengeance.
Hirsch's film is never sensational or manipulative - just truthful. If it's unlovely, well, pretty camerawork and slick production values go by the wayside when you have this kind of access to raw reality.
Ultimately, Bully is about having the courage to stand up to bullies - whether they're in your child's school or handing out ratings at the MPAA.
