1. Scope of Invention
This invention relates generally to combination fluid and air body support cushions and mattresses, and more particularly to such a device having an air chamber and a uniquely structured upper water layer positioned atop or against the air chamber for beneficial body support while minimizing sloshing and uneven distribution of water in the water layer.
2. Prior Art
Several air mattress and inflatable mattresses and body supports are known to applicant as described in the following U.S. patents:
U.S. Pat. No. 3,766,579 Shields
U.S. Pat. No. 4,945,588 Cassidy et al.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,638,518 Barbulla
U.S. Pat. No. 5,555,580 Hsia
U.S. Pat. No. 4,882,800 Schueler
U.S. Pat. No. 4,901,386 Lane
U.S. Pat. No. 3,803,647 Reswick
U.S. Pat. No. 5,072,469 Boyd
U.S. Pat. No. 5,107,557 Boyd
U.S. Pat. No. 5,845,353 Chow
U.S. Pat. No. 5,727,269 Chung
U.S. Pat. No. 3,712,674 Ando
U.S. Pat. No. 4,391,466 Smith
U.S. Pat. No. 4,738,486 Surber
U.S. Pat. No. '579 water bed invention by Shields teaches a water bed comprised of both air beams acting as a supporting framework and an air mattress positioned within that framework, the air mattress supporting a water envelope positioned thereupon. Cassidy, in U.S. Pat. No. '588 also teaches an air/water mattress having a lower water chamber and a coextensive upper air chamber and a complex inflation system therewith.
In U.S. Pat. No. '518, Barbulla discloses another waterbed mattress structure comprised of a plurality of water chambers surrounded by stiffening air chambers at the boarders thereof. Hsia, in U.S. Pat. No. '580 shows still another waterbed with inner communicable air chambers alternately spaced between generally coextensive elongated water chambers.
In U.S. Pat. No. '800, Schueler discloses a flotation mattress having an enclosed inner area divided into three sequential sections, each of which includes alternating water columns and ventilation chambers. An adjustable water mattress is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. '386 invented by Lane having an air chamber contained within a liquid filled bladder and an upper foam layer for body support.
The remaining above listed U.S. patents are substantially more diverse from the structural teaching of the present invention which is directed to a personal support cushion which may be utilized in and of itself atop a support surface or as a flotation device in water or as a seat section of a lounge chair floatable in water or supported atop the ground.
The following additional U.S. patents also disclose combination water/air body support structures. However, none of these disclose the unique features of the upper water layer of the present invention which substantially reduces the sloshing and/or pooling or collecting of water so as to distort the otherwise uniform thickness of the upper water-filled layer. Those additional patents are as follows:
U.S. Pat. No. 5,044,030 issued to Blaton
U.S. Pat. No. 5,642,544 issued to Munoz
U.S. Pat. No. 4,876,756 issued to Vaccaro
U.S. Pat. No. 4,724,560 issued to Christie
U.S. Pat. No. 4,389,742 issued to DeWitt
U.S. Pat. No. 4,247,963 issued to Reddi
U.S. Pat. No. 4,405,129 issued to Stuckey
U.S. Pat. No. 1,371,919 issued to Mahony
U.S. Pat. No. 5,598,593 issued to Wolfe
U.S. Pat. No. 5,604,945 issued to Fisher et al.
This invention is directed to a fluid-containing air cushion including an air chamber including an air fill valve and a water-filled layer connected atop or against, and at least partially coextensive with, the air chamber, the water-filled layer defining a body support surface. The water-filled layer includes a water fill valve and an array of individual spaced fluid pockets each of which is separated from, but in fluid communication with, the water-filled layer itself by a small fluid flow port whereby water flows into each of the fluid pockets through the port and is substantially maintained within each of said fluid pockets, preventing substantial sloshing and uneven distribution of water within the water-filled layer which may be oriented horizontally at an angle and be flat or arcuate.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a simple, yet unique and effective personal body support cushion for an individual which takes advantage of the lightness of an air chamber support while also providing a uniquely configured water filled upper layer positioned directly atop the air chamber for making supportive contact with the body of the user.
It is another object of this invention to provide a fluid-containing air body support cushion utilizing an air chamber and a water-filled layer generally coextensive with a portion of the air chamber and which substantially prevents the sloshing and pooling of water within the water-filled layer, even when angularly oriented to horizontal or arcuate in form.
In accordance with these and other objects which will become apparent hereinafter, the instant invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a generic embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged top plan view of a portion of another embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 3 is a section view in the direction of arrows 3—3 in FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a section view in the direction of arrows 4—4 in FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 is a section view in the direction of arrows 5—5 in FIG. 2.
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of yet another embodiment of the invention in the form of an overstuffed chair.
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of still another embodiment of the invention in the form of an elongated chaise lounge.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a generic example of the invention is there shown at numeral 10. This embodiment 10 includes an inflatable lower air chamber 12 atop which is positioned an upper water-fillable layer 14. The lower air chamber 12 is of a conventional nature formed of flexible air-tight material and having an air fill valve 24 formed into a surface thereof, while the upper water layer 14 also includes a water fill valve 26 formed in a top panel thereof. The upper water filled layer 14 is formed of a portion of an upper layer 28 of the air chamber 12 and a top panel 20 which are sealingly connected along the margins thereof to the upper layer 14.
The upper layer 14 includes an array or a plurality of individual pockets 18. Each pocket 18 is formed by the sealing connection between the upper layer 28 of the air chamber 14 and the top panel 20 along any desired shape defining a mostly closed or sealed perimeter 16 of each of the pockets 18. Only a small port 22 remains unsealed.
By this arrangement, as the upper layer 14 is filled with water through the water valve 26, water enters into each of the pockets 18 through port 22 in the direction of arrow A. Once the entire upper water-filled layer 14 is filled as desired and the valve 26 sealed, as the device 10 is used, normal movement and motion both of the entire device 10 and as it is used to support the weight of a user's body will not easily cause the water to slosh or flow from each of the water filled pockets 18. Therefore, the sloshing or pooling of water within the relatively thin upper layer 14 is substantially eliminated and maintained in a generally uniform thickness of water in the upper layer 14. A thickness ratio between the lower air chamber 12 and the upper water-filled layer 14 is preferable, in the range of up to about 10 to 1.
Referring now to FIGS. 2 to 5, another embodiment of the invention is there shown at numeral 30 and includes a lower air chamber 42 defined by air tight flexible plastic sheets 44 and 48 adhered together to form the air-tight structure of the lower air chamber 42. In this embodiment 30, each of the pockets 38 (only one shown) of the upper water filled layer 32 which are positioned directly atop the air chamber 42 have a common flexible air-tight and water-tight panel 48 positioned therebetween. The perimeter 36 of each of the pockets 38 is formed by the heat-sealing connection to define perimeter 36 between the upper panel of the air chamber 42 and the top panel 38 of the upper water layer 32 in any desired ornamental configuration. Only a small portion of this sealed perimeter 36, which defines each of the pockets 38, is left unsealed to define a water port 40 into which, and out of which, water may flow in the direction of arrows B in FIG. 3.
By this arrangement, after the upper layer 32 is filled with water, all of the pockets 38 are also filled with water as water pressure is slowly equalized. Thereafter, the water is very slow to flow from each of the pockets 38 depending upon the size of the water port 40. Therefore, during use of the device 30, whether it be as it is moved or rested upon, the water within the upper layer 32 will not easily slosh or flow out of the pockets 38 so as to cause excessive pooling within the upper layer 32 which would result in a non-uniform water layer thickness and uneven body support.
Alternate embodiments of the invention are shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. In FIG. 6, an oversized floor-supported chair is there shown at 50 and includes air chambers 52 and 54 as shown. Each of these air chambers 52 and 54 include air fill valves 62 and 66 and also include an upper water-filled layer 56 and 58, respectively. Each of these upper layers 56 and 58 are water tight and are filled through fill ports 60 and 64, respectively, and further include individual pockets 60 and 62, respectively, which are formed by heat sealing the perimeters thereof over all but a small portion thereof to leave a water flow port allowing water to flow into and out of each of these pockets 60 and 62 respectively, as previously described.
In FIG. 7, an inflatable chaise lounge embodiment of the invention is shown generally at numeral 70 and includes an air chamber 72 defining the lower portion of the chaise lounge 70 and an upper water-filled layer 74 substantially thinner than that of the air chamber 72. Again, a water fill valve 78 is provided to fill the upper layer 74 and the individual ported pockets 76 as above described. An air valve 80 is provided for inflating the air chamber 72.
Note importantly that both of the embodiments 50 and 70 in FIGS. 6 and 7, respectively, include portions thereof wherein a segment of the air chamber is not below, but rather along side the water-filled layer. The broad aspect of the invention facilitates this side-by-side arrangement of air chamber and water-filled layer. The pockets prevent or greatly inhibit water flow from each of the pockets through the corresponding port so that the overall thickness of the water-filled layer is maintained rather than pooling by gravity or body presence.
While the instant invention has been shown and described herein in what are conceived to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is recognized that departures may be made therefrom within the scope of the invention, which is therefore not to be limited to the details disclosed herein, but is to be afforded the full scope of the claims so as to embrace any and all equivalent apparatus and articles.

As it spends a third week atop Billboard's Adult Pop Songs radio airplay chart, Adele [1]'s "Rolling in the Deep" claims the mark for most weekly plays (4,780) in the Nielsen BDS-based list's 15-year history.
All 90 reporters on the Adult Pop Songs panel played the song in the chart's May 9-15 tracking week, an average of 53 plays per station.
Here is a look at the songs with the most weekly spins since the chart launched the week of March 16, 1996:
Plays, Title, Artist, Chart Date
4,780, "Rolling in the Deep," Adele, May 28, 2011
4,435, "Raise Your Glass," P!nk [2], Jan. 22, 2011
4,345, "F**kin' Perfect," P!nk, April 23, 2011
4,281, "Firework," Katy Perry [3], Feb. 19, 2011
4,273, "Misery," Maroon 5 [4], Oct. 16, 2010
(The chart's reporter panel has expanded in recent months, spurring higher plays totals for titles on the 40-position tally).
As it reigns atop Adult Pop Songs, "Deep" scores Airplay Gainer honors on Pop Songs, where it climbs 6-3, and Adult Contemporary (13-9).
"Deep" concurrently bows at No. 34 on the Rhythmic airplay chart, marking a rare appearance on the survey for a song with rock elements. Having previously topped the Triple A adult alternative ranking for 14 weeks, "Deep" is just the fourth song by a solo female to have showed on Triple A and Rhythmic. The previous three charted more than a decade ago: Alanis Morissette [5]'s "Ironic" and "You Learn" (1996) and Natalie Imbruglia [6]'s "Torn" (1998).
Adele's 'Rolling In The Deep' Tops Hot 100 [7]
"Deep" ascended to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 last week (2-1), as parent album "21" racked a seventh week atop the Billboard 200. The set has sold 1.6 million copies since its February release, making it the year's top-selling album by an almost two-to-one margin over runner-up Mumford & Sons [8]' "Sigh No More" (783,000 since the beginning of January).
All charts will be refreshed Thursday (May 19) on Billboard.com.

Description: The new XTD irons feature the industry's first-ever cross-cavity design, combined with Cut-Thru Slot Technology, to create distance through technology instead of strengthened lofts.
"As opposed to the standard practice of strengthening irons lofts, we're providing distance while retaining optimal ball flight. And by integrating thinner faces and Cut-Thru Slot Technology into irons, we're making it much easier for players to produce higher, longer, straighter and more consistent shots." - Justin Honea, Sr. Director of R&D
An industry-first cross-cavity technology helps keep errant-struck shots on their proper path. Constructed for players of all skill levels, XTD irons boast a center of gravity (CG) moved off the face to generate gear effect similar to a hybrid. The result is corrective spin to straighten off-center hits. After contact, a face impact damper dramatically decreases vibration. Direct pressure on the back of the face produces the crisp sound of a forged iron, while some competitors use a simple badge. This also encourages players to drive through the shot.
The XTD series houses the company's thinnest cast-iron face to date, promoting maximum deflection and ball speed. Adams remains committed to finding greater distance through technical advances, while retaining proven design characteristics, such as a 28° loft on a 6-iron. Club engineering promotes ideal launch angles throughout the set, with explosive height off of the face, penetrating ball flight and more preferable descent in attacking the pin.
Players will immediately take note of the improved alignment on XTD irons. Framed scorelines include a polished finish to set the club on its correct line at address.

Ontario's Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) has confirmed technical issues that forced the cancellation of a province-wide online trial of the literacy test last week was due to an "intentional, malicious" cyberattack.
The online secondary school literacy test was scheduled for Thursday, but students and educators weren't able to access the system.
UPDATE: DDoS attack confirmed as caused of October 20 online #OSSLT technical issues: https://t.co/rEDI6lfneG
— EQAO (@eqao) October 24, 2016
"An extremely large volume of traffic from a vast set of IP addresses around the globe was targeted at the network hosting the assessment application," a statement read Monday.
"The impact of this DDoS, initiated by an unknown entity or entities, was to block legitimate users' (i.e., school boards', schools' and students') access to the EQAO test application."
Thursday's online test was a "voluntary trial to test the system's readiness" before the test scheduled in March.
The DDoS attack began just before 8 a.m. ET, the office said.
EQAO said students' personal information wasn't compromised during the attack.

Several biomarkers have been individually associated with vascular brain injury but no prior study has explored the simultaneous association of a biologically plausible panel of biomarkers with the incidence of stroke/TIA, and the prevalence of subclinical brain injury.
In 3127 stroke-free Framingham Offspring (59±10 yrs, 54%F), we related a panel of 8 biomarkers assessing inflammation(C-reactive protein[CRP]), hemostasis(D-dimer and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1), neurohormonal activity(aldosterone-to renin ratio, B-type natriuretic peptide[BNP] and N-terminal pro-atrial natriuretic peptides) and endothelial function (homocysteine and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio[UACR]) measured at the 6th examination(1995–98) to risk of incident stroke/TIA. In a subset of 1901 participants with available brain MRI (1999–2005), we further related these biomarkers to total cerebral brain volume (TCBV), covert brain infarcts (CBI), and large white matter hyperintensity volume(LWMHV).
During a median follow-up of 9.2 years, 130 participants experienced incident stroke/TIA. In multivariable analyses adjusted for stroke risk factors, the biomarker panel was associated with incident stroke/TIA and with TCBV (p<0.05 for both), but not with CBI or LWMHV (p >0.05). In backwards elimination analyses higher log-BNP (hazards ratio [HR] 1.39/SD, p=0.002) and log-UACR (HR1.31/SD, p=0.004) were associated with increased risk of stroke/TIA and improved risk prediction over using the Framingham stroke risk profile alone; using <5%, 5–15% or >15% 10-year risk categories the net reclassification index was 0.109;p=0.037). Higher CRP (β=−0.21/SD,p=0.008), D-dimer(β==−0.18/SD,p=0.041), tHcy(β=−0.21/SD,p=0.005), and UACR(β=−0.15/SD,p=0.042) were associated with lower TCBV.
In a middle-aged community sample, we identified multiple biomarkers that were associated with clinical and subclinical vascular brain injury and could improve risk stratification.
Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death and is a major cause of long-term disability in America. In spite of progress in acute treatment protocols, prevention remains the most effective approach to reduce the personal and public health impact of stroke.1 The advent of sensitive brain imaging techniques has established that the burden of cerebrovascular disease is far greater than that of overt clinical disease.2 In large population–based studies, the MRI findings of subclinical brain injury: presence of covert brain infarcts (CBI), larger white matter hyperintensity volumes (LWMHV), and smaller total cerebral brain volumes (TCBV) are common, with CBI prevalence ranging from 11% in younger subjects (<age 65 yrs) to 28% in older subjects.3,4 Although these subclinical findings do not cause abrupt clinical symptoms, they are often associated with subtle consequences such as cognitive decline5 and motor function impairment,6 and have been associated with an increased risk of subsequent stroke.7
Vascular risk factors have also been implicated in subclinical brain injury,3,8 but the underlying pathophysiological pathways remain poorly understood. Several individual circulating and urinary biomarkers9–23 have been identified that lie along biologically plausible pathways that could lead to vascular brain injury. However, to our knowledge, the relative contribution of these biomarkers from distinct biological pathways to an increased risk of both covert and overt vascular brain disease has not been explored. We hypothesized that select biomarkers will be associated with the presence of covert and/or with the incidence of overt vascular brain disease in a large community-based, middle-aged cohort. We tested this hypothesis by relating a panel of 8 biomarkers (inflammation (C-reactive protein[CRP]), hemostasis (D-dimer [DD] and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1[PAI-1]), neurohormonal activity (aldosterone-to renin ratio, B-type brain natriuretic peptide [BNP] and N-terminal pro-atrial natriuretic peptides [NT-ANP]) and endothelial function (homocysteine [tHcy] and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio [UACR])) to incident stroke/TIA prospectively, and to prevalent subclinical brain disease in a large middle-aged community-based sample using a conservative statistical approach that minimized multiple testing.
In 1971, the Framingham Offspring Study was initiated with enrollment of 5124 individuals who were either offspring of the Original Cohort participants or spouses of the offspring.24 These participants have been assessed every four years, are currently undergoing their 9th examination, and remain under surveillance for incident stroke and TIA. Of 3532 participants who attended the 6th examination cycle (1995–1998) at which biomarkers were measured, 3209 had biomarker information available, the remainder either did not undergo phlebotomy, or had inadequate sample volume. When compared to those without biomarkers data (n=323), the participants with available biomarker measures were younger, and less likely to have diabetes mellitus or prevalent cardiovascular disease. (Supplemental Table 1).
We considered two study samples for the present investigation (Supplemental Figure 1). Among the 3209 participants with biomarker information, after excluding those with prevalent stroke (n=72) and those without subsequent stroke/TIA follow up information (n=10); 3127 participants (59±10 yrs, 54%F) were eligible for investigation of the association between the panel of biomarkers and incident stroke/TIA (Study Sample 1). All participants who attended the 7th examination cycle were invited to undergo brain MRI (1999–2005). Of the 3209 who had biomarker information from the 6th Offspring examination; 33 died prior to the start of the MRI study, 63 were excluded for prevalent dementia and 10 for prevalent stroke at the time of MRI; 1173 persons either declined MRI or had a contra-indication. After additionally excluding persons with another neurological illness (such as multiple sclerosis or brain tumor) that could affect MRI measurements, persons with a serum creatinine >2.0 mg/dL and those with missing covariate data (n=29), 1901 participants (58±10yrs, 54%F) with both biomarkers and brain MRI measures available were eligible for investigation of the association between the panel of biomarkers and subclinical brain disease (Study Sample 2). Baseline characteristics comparing persons who were in our MRI study sample with those who had biomarker data but were not in our brain MRI analysis sample are shown in Supplemental Table 2.
We assessed 8 independent biomarkers from biologically plausible pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of overt and covert vascular brain injury. Plasma concentrations of each biomarker were routinely measured on previously frozen (stored) blood samples drawn in the fasting state from persons who attended the 6th examination cycle and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio was assessed in stored urine samples. All measurements were performed using previously reported methods specific for each biomarker;25 high-sensitivity CRP levels were determined by Dade Behring BN100 nephelometer; plasma BNP and NT-ANP were measured by high-sensitivity immunoradiometric assays; D-dimer and plasma PAI-1 antigen were determined using a commercially available ELISA; serum aldosterone was measured from extracted and fractionated serum using a radioimmunoassay; direct plasma renin was measured by immunochemiluminometric assay; and total plasma homocysteine was measured using high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorometric detection.23 The average interassay coefficients of variation (CV) for each biomarker were as follows: CRP (2.2%); D-dimer (11.7%); PAI-1 (7.7%); aldosterone (4.0% for high concentrations, 9.8% for low concentrations); renin (2.0% for high concentrations, 10.0% for low concentrations); BNP (12.2%); NT-ANP (12.7%); and tHcy (9%). UACR (mg/g) was assessed on a morning urine specimen as a ratio between urinary albumin measured using immunoturbidimetry and urinary creatinine measured using a modified Jaffe method. The average interassay CVs for these two UACR assays were 7.2% and 2.3%, respectively.
Although the biomarkers were not measured at the same time as the initial brain MRI, we chose the 6th examination cycle as our baseline since (i) the entire panel of biomarkers was available at that examination, (ii) this design increases the follow-up period available to study the risk of incident stroke/TIA, and (iii) MRI changes accumulate over time, hence prior rather than concurrent levels of biomarkers are more likely to be related to MRI markers of subclinical disease.23
Our stroke surveillance and protocol for determining the diagnosis and type of stroke have been previously published, all clinical events were ascertained by 2 or more neurologists at a consensus review.26 Stroke was defined as an acute onset focal neurological deficit of presumed or definite vascular etiology, persisting for more than 24 hours. A TIA was defined clinically as a focal neurological deficit lasting for ≤24 hours. We also utilized the data on clinical features, imaging studies and other laboratory criteria, noninvasive vascular studies, cardiac evaluations for a source of embolus and, when available, information from autopsy studies.
MRI acquisition, measurement techniques and inter-rater reliability have been described previously.27 Briefly, the images were analyzed by operators blinded to the participant's demographics, exposure to stroke risk factors, and plasma biomarker levels. Brain volume was determined by manual delineation of the intracranial vault to determine the total cranial volume (TCV) followed by subsequent mathematical modeling to determine total brain parenchymal volume (TCB). Total cerebral brain volume (TCBV) was then computed as a ratio of TCB/TCV; representing a measure of brain parenchymal volume corrected for differences in head size. The volume of abnormal white matter hyperintensity was determined according to previously published methods.27 The participants were categorized as having large WMH volumes (LWMHV) if the log-WMH volume/TCV was more than 1 SD above the age-adjusted mean in this cohort.The presence or absence of covert brain infarcts (CBI) was determined manually by the operator, based on the size (>3 mm), location and imaging characteristics of the lesion.
Previously described and validated components of the Framingham Stroke Risk Profile (FSRP) were used as baseline covariates.26 These include age, sex, systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive therapy, diabetes, smoking status, history of cardiovascular disease(CVD), and the presence of atrial fibrillation(AF).
All biomarkers that displayed skewed distribution were log-transformed to normalize their distributions. An age-adjusted Spearman correlation coefficient was calculated for each pair of biomarkers. The biomarker panel was related to the risk of incident stroke/TIA using Cox proportional hazards techniques and to subclinical MRI measures using linear (for continuous measures) or logistic (for binary measures) regression analyses. We used a 2-step analytical approach to minimize false positives due to multiple statistical testing. First, for each outcome, we used multivariable regression analysis to perform a global test of significance to examine whether the entire set of biomarkers was related to a given outcome. In this step, we tested whether the set of 8 biomarkers (denoted m1-m8 below) was associated with stroke/TIA risk using a 8 degree of freedom likelihood ratio test (LRT) of the null hypothesis H0: βm1 = βm2…=βm8 = 0. The LRT chi-squared statistic was obtained by comparing likelihoods from two models: (i) with covariates only and (ii) with covariates plus 8 biomarkers. Subsequent analyses were performed only if the global P value was <0.05. If the biomarker panel was associated with the outcome of interest, then as a second step, we performed a stepwise multivariable regression with backward elimination to select a final parsimonious set of informative biomarkers associated with the outcome of interest using a p <0.05 for retention in the final model. For clinical stroke/TIA we also assessed the incremental utility of the identified individual biomarkers in predicting stroke/TIA risk by calculating net reclassification improvement (NRI) using a more conventional logistic approach and a novel approach that allows for differences in survival times.28,29 We used clinically meaningful risk categories of <5%, 5–15% and >15% 10-year stroke risks,26,28 defined a priori as risks experienced by the average person, at the baseline age of the current sample, in the presence of zero (low risk), one or two(intermediate risk), or more than two (high risk) of the stroke risk factors included in the Framingham stroke risk profile.26
All analyses were adjusted for age and sex, baseline cardiovascular covariates and serum creatinine. For the MRI analyses, we additionally adjusted for the time interval between baseline examination and time of MRI acquisition. Finally we compared the magnitude of the association of specific biomarkers with TCBV to the impact of chronological age by dividing the regression coefficient for the biomarker by the regression coefficient for age, estimated using linear regression models.
The baseline clinical characteristics and biomarkers levels are provided in Table 1 for the two study samples. The median follow-up period for stroke/TIA was 9.2 years (range 0.5–11.9 years), and the median time interval between biomarker and subclinical brain MRI measurements was 3.5 years (range 1.3–10.2 years). Pairwise age-adjusted Spearman correlations among selected biomarkers as well as of selected biomarkers with clinical covariatesare presented in Table 2. The highest age-adjusted correlations were observed for BNP and NT-ANP (r=0.60, p<0.001), CRP and D-dimer (r=0.33, p<0.001), and CRP and PAI-1(r=0. 29, p<0.001).
We observed 130 incident stroke/TIA events in the 3127 participants; of these 77 were strokes and 53 were TIA events. In multivariable analyses adjusted for traditional stroke risk factors, the biomarker panel was associated with increased risk of stroke/TIA (global P=0.001). Upon backwards eliminations, only two biomarkers, BNP (p=0.002) and UACR (p=0.004), were retained in the final model. Higher BNP and UACR were each associated with an increased risk of stroke/TIA (HR 1.39 per 1-SD increment in log-BNP, p=0.002 and HR 1.31/SD increment in log-UACR, p=0.004). Adding these biomarker data to risk assessment models based on traditional stroke risk factors alone (as identified by the Framingham stroke risk profile) resulted in improved risk prediction. When the risk was reclassified into clinically meaningful risk categories of <5%, 5–15% or >15% 10-year risks, we observed a modest improvement in the discrimination of events with an NRI=0.109 [0.008–0.211]; p=0.037 using a conventional logistic model and an NRI=0.109 [95% CI: 0.008–0.211] allowing for differences in survival time(details in Supplemental Tables 3 and 4 and in Figure 1).On secondary analyses, we found a similar association of higher BNP and UACR with an increased risk of stroke alone (HR 1.28 per SD increment in log-BNP, p=0.04 and HR 1.34 per SD increment in log UACR, p=0.009).
We further examined the association between the same biomarker panel and three measures of subclinical brain injury (TCBV, CBI and LWMHV). Mean TCBV and LWMHV (these are expressed as ratios over intracranial volume) were 79.4 and −3.0, respectively, and the prevalence of CBI was 11% (Table 1). In multivariable analyses, the biomarker panel was associated with TCBV (global P<0.001), but not with CBI or z-LWMHV (global P>0.05). Using backward elimination models, adjusted for traditional stroke risk factors, time to MRI acquisition and serum creatinine levels, four biomarkers were significantly associated with lower TCBV: higher CRP (β=−0.21/SD, p=0.008), D-dimer (β=−0.18/SD, p=0.041), tHcy (β=−0.21/SD, p=0.005), and log-UACR (β=−0.15/SD, p=0.042). The impact of a single SD unit increase in plasma CRP or tHcy levels on TCBV was exactly equivalent to one year of brain aging, whereas one SD unit increases in D-Dimer and log-UACR levels corresponded to 9 and 7 months, respectively, of brain aging.
In our community-based, stroke-free middle-aged sample, we investigated a panel of eight biologically plausible biomarkers for association with clinical and subclinical vascular brain injury. In recent years, a large number of biomarkers have been individually associated with the risk of cerebrovascular disease. These biomarker levels are often correlated or interact with each other in complex ways reflecting the actions of interrelated biological pathways. It is essential to identify a parsimonious set of maximally informative markers and to assess their relative contributions to risk prognostication if we are to improve upon clinical risk prediction scores in a practical and cost-effective manner. We observed that the overall biomarker panel was associated with risk of stroke/TIA and with smaller brain volumes. We further identified that higher BNP levels and albuminuria were associated with the risk of initial incident stroke/TIA and addition of these biomarker data resulted in a modest improvement in categorizing stroke risk among participants. Albuminuria (but not BNP) was also associated with smaller total brain volume, as were higher CRP, D-dimer and tHcy levels.
To our knowledge, this is the first study to relate a large biomarker panel to both clinical and subclinical vascular brain injury. Our findings concur with prior observations that abnormalities in multiple biological pathways affect the risk of incident cardiovascular events (including stroke/TIA) and death.25,30 They confirm and extend to a middle-aged, community sample, prior reports describing associations of several of these individual biomarkers with the risk of stroke/TIA or of subclinical brain disease, respectively.
In previous reports we had observed that elevated plasma CRP9 and tHcy levels23 were individually associated with an increased risk of stroke/TIA and that elevated UACR was associated with a higher risk of all CVD events.31 Using a multiple biomarker approach to evaluate the risk of all initial CVD events (including stroke) in offspring, we had observed that BNP and UACR were associated with the risk of a major vascular event, but that study was underpowered to examine the outcome of stroke/TIA.25 Our present data extend those observations by demonstrating associations of BNP and UACR with the risk of incident stroke/TIA using a longer follow-up period and including a larger number of incident stroke/TIA events. We did not confirm in the present investigation our previously reported observation of an association of CRP and tHcy with incident stroke/TIA, most likely because the present investigation evaluated a much younger sample that was associated with lower mean values of these particular biomarkers, and hence was underpowered due to a smaller number of incident events. Interestingly, the effect size of the association between CRP and stroke/TIA in the present study was similar to what we had observed in the prior study but it did not reach statistical significance. In addition, in prior reports we have also observed that the mean tHcy levels were lower in the Offspring at the 6th Offspring examination (after dietary folate fortification was initiated) compared to the 5th Offspring examination, which was prefortification.32 Thus, lower levels of tHcy among participants included in the present study may have contributed to the lack of the association between tHcy levels and incident stroke/TIA.
BNP is a natriuretic peptide with diuretic and vasodilatory activities released by cardiomyocytes during hemodynamic stress and cleared by the kidneys.33 Elevated plasma levels of BNP have been observed in older patients, perhaps due to myocardial fibrosis and cardiac hypertrophy and/or secondary to renal dysfunction in otherwise healthy elderly persons, but also in persons with essential hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), diastolic dysfunction, AF and renal failure.33 As a biological marker, BNP is used for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF), and has been evaluated for the risk stratification of individuals with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS).34 Most of the cardiac conditions mentioned above have been associated with the risk of stroke/TIA,30 but an independent link between higher BNP levels and stroke/TIA risk observed in our middle-aged population after adjusting for blood pressure, cardiac and renal disease suggests there may be additional pathophysiological mechanisms. For example, an increased level of physical activity (which reduces stroke risk) may decrease BNP levels.35
Albuminuria has been associated with the risk of CVD events and the presence of subclinical vascular disease in other organs,25,36 but its role in cerebrovascular disease is less clear, and only a few cohort studies have evaluated the association of albuminuria or microalbuminuria (MA) with stroke as a primary end point.18–20 Our findings concur with these prior reports. While the underlying mechanism for this association is unclear, albuminuria is a known marker of glomerular endothelial dysfunction, has been associated with diffuse endothelial dysfunction in other vascular beds,37,38 and is a marker of cardiovascular target organ damage.
In prior reports we had demonstrated that the components of the FSRP and selected inflammatory markers are related to LWMH8 and to brain atrophy,11 respectively. We have also previously shown that elevated plasma tHcy levels are associated with an increased risk of CBI and smaller brain volumes.23 Our present findings, however, identify additional biological pathways that also may be involved in mediating brain atrophy.
Links between inflammation and brain atrophy, and between lower TCBV and poorer cognitive performance have been previously reported.11 However, the findings of an association between higher CRP levels and smaller brain volumes are novel. CRP is a marker of a chronic low-grade inflammation and a marker of endothelial dysfunction. As a part of an innate-immune system response, CRP deposits have been detected in brain micorovessels.39 Several cohort studies have observed increased CRP levels prior to clinical onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and/or vascular dementia but brain MRI measurements were not described in these reports.40,41 Our failure to find an independent association between CRP and TCBV in an earlier report could reflect the smaller sample size in that investigation and the use of a later baseline examination cycle closer to the date of MRI in that study because inflammation likely affects brain volumes over months to years. Further, it is possible that an association with CRP was obscured by a stronger association with a correlated inflammatory marker (IL6), which was included in the previous report11 but not in the current study (IL6 levels are not available at the 6th examination which served as the baseline). Since CRP is a commonly measured biomarker, we believe it could be a valuable contributor to a future multimarker panel for determining risk of cerebrovascular injury.
D-dimer (DD) as a marker of fibrinolytic turnover is present in very small amounts in a healthy population. Its role in activation of coagulation in clinical and subclinical brain infarcts remains controversial.13 Prior observations have suggested an association between hypercoagulability and brain atrophy in the elderly.12 In the same report increased levels of DD have been associated with white matter hyperintensities and Binswanger's Disease (BD).12 It is plausible that endothelial dysfunction and/or inflammation, might trigger an alteration in the hemostatic pathways within the brain microvasculature/parenchyma and accelerate microvascular ischemia. However, further experimental and human studies are required to define these interactions.
Our previous observation that higher plasma tHcy levels predispose to smaller brain volumes23 has been confirmed in this report. Homocysteine is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. As an excitatory neurotransmitter, it binds to the NMDA receptors and leads to oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction and inflammation and neuronal injury.42 Potential mechanisms through which tHcy could result in brain atrophy have been briefly discussed in a prior publication.23
Albuminuria is not only an indicator of renal microvascular disease, but may reflect diffuse microvascular disease, endothelial dysfunction and vascular damage (the Steno hypothesis).37,38 In a case-control study of patients with HTN, but no DM, microalbuminuria was independently associated with a higher prevalence of silent lacunar infarcts and greater carotid intima-media thickness.43 As confirmed in our report, albuminuria has been also associated with stroke and brain atrophy.18–21 However, the mechanisms underlying this association remains unclear. It has been suggested that with aging, endothelial dysfunction, intimal fibromuscular hyperplasia and lipohyalinosis in cerebral microvasculature might develop in parallel with vascular changes in the renal microvascular system.21
The absence of an association between the biomarker panel and CBI and/or WMH does not necessarily mean that such associations do not exist. It is plausible that, with the relatively younger age of our sample, we had limited statistical power to detect such associations.
The strengths of our study are the inclusion of a stroke-free, middle-aged study sample, their longitudinal follow-up with careful prospective surveillance of clinical events, availability of a range of biomarkers measured by previously validated methods, availability of baseline values for traditional stroke risk factors and availability of volumetric brain MRI measurements performed by radiologists blinded to clinical events and biomarker information. The limitations of our study are the predominantly white study sample which limits the generalizability of our findings to other ethnicities/races. At present, we have only a single-occasion measurement for each biomarker and single brain MRI measurements. Further, the subsetof participants who underwent brain MRI and also had biomarker data had a lower prevalence of vascular risk factors and was healthier thanthe rest of the Framingham Offspring; this could potentially bias our results. Finally we assessed the incremental prognostic value of BNP and UACR in predicting risk of stroke/TIA using the NRI and clinically reasonable cut-points, but recognize that changing the cut-points used to define low, intermediate and high-risk categories would vary the NRI computed.
In summary, alterations in several different biological pathways may underlie the pathophysiology of clinical and subclinical brain disease. Using a conservative multimarker approach we identified two biomarkers associated with the risk of incident stroke and four biomarkers associated with a smaller brain volume in a middle-age, stroke-free sample. Urinary albuminuria, a comparatively less well studied biomarker of cerebrovascular risk was associated with both outcomes. However, both BNP and UACR increased the risk for stroke/TIA, and offered modest improvements in accuracy of risk classification. These findings should be taken into consideration when building risk stratification models and may also point to novel, potentially synergistic preventive and therapeutic measures. Finally, the performance of such multimarker strategies in risk stratification for clinical and subclinical vascular disease requires further investigation, particularly in the current 'Omics' era as the number of putative biomarkers expands at an exponential rate providing both an opportunity and a challenge to develop improved, cost-effective risk prediction models.
Numerous biomarkers, representing various biological pathways, have been independently implicated in cerebrovascular disease, but their relative contribution to the prediction of clinical cerebrovascular disease is uncertain. In a middle-aged community sample, we used a multimarker approach to identify plausible biomarkers associated with clinical and subclinical vascular brain injury. This approach also permitted us to assess the contribution of each biomarker to clinical risk reclassification after accounting for standard vascular risk factors that comprise the Framingham stroke risk profile. In analyses adjusted for traditional risk factors, we observed an association between an aggregate panel of biomarkers including markers of inflammation (C-reactive protein[CRP]), hemostasis (D-dimer and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1), neurohormonal activity (aldosterone-to renin ratio, B-type natriuretic peptide[BNP] and N-terminal pro-atrial natriuretic peptides) and endothelial function (plasma homocysteine[tHcy] and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio[UACR]) and the risk of stroke/TIA as well as with MRI brain volumes. In further analyses, we identified that higher BNP levels and albuminuria were associated with the risk of stroke/TIA and addition of these biomarker data provided incremental information over clinical risk factors predicting stroke. We further indentified that albuminuria (but not BNP) was also associated with smaller brain volume, as were higher CRP, D-dimer and tHcy levels. Our findings are consistent with prior observations that alterations in several different biological pathways may underlie the pathophysiology of clinical and subclinical brain disease. However, whether the knowledge of BNP and albuminuria may be used to target individuals at risk of stroke for more intense primary prevention or monitoring requires further investigation.

Chimpanzees and Language
Here are various links about chimpanzees and language.
- Chimpanzeess can learn new languageThe article focuses on chimpanzee's ability to learn new languages. Topics include the research completed by scientist Katie Slocombe on how chimpanzee's learn language, the development of communication between chimpanzees, and how the transfer of chimpanzees from one area to another can prompt bilingual learning in chimpanzees.
- Aping languageFocuses on the discovery of lateralization of the planum temporale (PT) in the brains of chimpanzees. Implication that the PT has developed a special function; Conclusion of researchers that chimpanzees possess the same structures for language syntax and meaning as humans.
- Grammar Head-to-Head: Chimp vs 2-Year-OldThe article provides information on a study conducted by University of Pennsylvania linguistics researcher Charles Yang which involved an analysis of the speech patterns of children and compared them with transcripts of a signing chimpanzee named Nim Chimpsky. The study found that the chimp's language had patterns typical of learning a language through imitation and rote memorization, while the children were able to link words they have learned in new combinations by using basic grammar rules.
- Thinking like a chimpanzeeAn article is presented that discusses work from the Primate Research Institute in Japan on thinking and cognition in chimpanzees. Institute head Tetsuro Matsuzawa and other researchers examined chimpanzees' memory, learning ability, reception, and categorization skills. The article discusses the testing and experiments, noting the use of computers and the emphasis on language studies. Information is also provided on social relationships, verbal and nonverbal communication, aggression, and use of tools.
- Talking with handsThe article discusses the research on hand gestures as a means of communications for chimpanzees and bonobos or pygmy chimpanzees and its significance on the language development among humans. The research was made by scientists from the Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The research showed that primates are better at hand communication than facial expressions and that apes use the same region of the brain to think about gestures as people use in understanding words.
- Chimpanzee language: Communication gestures translatedFrom the BBC: Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees use to communicate.
- Communication among primatesAn interesting article about how primates communicate.

New York Incomes Disparity Still Maddeningly Out of Control
In case you were feeling a little too cheerful this holiday season, the Fiscal Policy Institute has a new report [pdf] to remind you about New York City's ever-widening income gap. According to the report, "if New York City were a nation, it would rank 15th worst among 134 countries with respect to income concentration, in between Chile and Honduras."
"Naked Capitalism" has more analysis on the report, which finds that the replacement of New York's historically broad middle class (no more manufacturing or mid-level corporate jobs for you, millenials!) by moderate- and low-paying service industry jobs, along with a poor redistribution of income through taxes, are just some of the factors that have caused New York's great income disparity. Some fun facts:
- "Wall Street, with its straospheric profits and bonuses, sits within 15 miles of the Bronx -- the nation's poorest county."
- Income in New York state has grown an average of 2.1 percent per year between 1980 and 2007, although incomes for the bottom half of the income spectrum generally declined, while those in the middle income range rose "but only at a fraction of the pace of total income growth." (In other words, the poor really do get poorer!)
- High-income residents pay a lot in city income taxes, but when sales and property taxes are included, they end up paying a "smaller share" of local taxes than the middle-class.

He was trouble, but Mickey Thomas is still best remembered for his FA Cup heroics
"Wayne Rooney's on a hundred grand a week. Mind you, so was I until the police found my printing machine."
Try telling Mickey Thomas that the FA Cup has lost its magic. Wherever the 53-year-old former Wales winger goes, people want to talk about that goal. Thomas was no ordinary football player. He was locked up in prison for nine months for selling fake ten and twenty pound notes; he was savagely beaten by his former brother-in-law after he was caught playing away with his ex-wife's sister; he scored for Wales when they beat England 4-1 in 1980, and he

How to Rig an Election
Confessions of a Republican Operative
By (author) Allen Raymond
With Ian Spiegelman
Format: Paperback
Checking availability...
How to Rig an Election by Allen Raymond
Book DescriptionFresh out of grad school, Allen Raymond joined the GOP for one reason: rumor had it that there was big money to be made on the Republican side of the aisle. From the earliest days of the Republican Revolution through its culmination in the second Bush White House, Raymond played a key role in helping GOP candidates twist the truth beyond recognition during a decade of crucial and bitterly fought campaigns. His career took him from the nastiest of local elections in New Jersey backwaters through runs for Congress and the Senate and right up to a top management position in a bid for the presidency itself. It also took him to prison. Full of wit and candor, Raymond's account offers an astonishingly frank look at the black art of campaigning and the vagaries of the Republican establishment. Unlike many "architects" of the political scene, the author takes full responsibility for his actions -- even as he never misses a trick. A completely original tale of the disillusioning of a man who enters politics with no illusions, How to Rig an Election is a brilliant and hilarious expose of how the contemporary political game is really played.
