Microarray analysis was used to identify genes whose expression in the mammary gland of Holstein-Friesian dairy cows was affected by the nonconservative Ala to Lys amino acid substitution at position 232 in exon VIII of the diacylglycerol-O-transferase 1 (DGAT1) gene. Mammary gland biopsies of 9 homozygous Ala cows, 13 heterozygous cows (Ala/Lys), and 4 homozygous Lys cows in midlactation were taken. Microarray ANOVA and factor analysis for multiple testing methods were used as statistical methods to associate the expression level of the genes present on Affymetrix bovine genome arrays (Affymetrix Inc., Santa Clara, CA) with the DGAT1 gene polymorphism. The data was also analyzed at the level of functional modules by gene set enrichment analysis. In this small-scale experimental setting, DGAT1 gene polymorphism did not modify milk yield and composition significantly, although expected changes occurred in the yields of C14:0, cis-9 C16:1, and long-chain fatty acids. Diacylglycerol-O-transferase 1 gene polymorphism affected the expression of 30 annotated genes related to cell growth, proliferation, and development, remodeling of the tissue, cell signaling and immune system response. Furthermore, the main affected functional modules were related to energy metabolism (lipid biosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation, electron transport chain, citrate cycle, and propanoate metabolism), protein degradation (proteosome-ubiquitin pathways), and the immune system. We hypothesize that the observed differences in transcriptional activity reflect counter mechanisms of mammary gland tissue to respond to changes in milk fatty acid concentration or composition, or both.

Integrative genomics approaches that combine genotyping and transcriptome profiling in segregating populations have been developed to dissect complex traits. The most common approach is to identify genes whose eQTL colocalize with QTL of interest, providing new functional hypothesis about the causative mutation. Another approach includes defining subtypes for a complex trait using transcriptome profiles and then performing QTL mapping using some of these subtypes. This approach can refine some QTL and reveal new ones.In this paper we introduce Factor Analysis for Multiple Testing (FAMT) to define subtypes more accurately and reveal interaction between QTL affecting the same trait. The data used concern hepatic transcriptome profiles for 45 half sib male chicken of a sire known to be heterozygous for a QTL affecting abdominal fatness (AF) on chromosome 5 distal region around 168 cM. Using this methodology which accounts for hidden dependence structure among phenotypes, we identified 688 genes that are significantly correlated to the AF trait and we distinguished 5 subtypes for AF trait, which are not observed with gene lists obtained by classical approaches. After exclusion of one of the two lean bird subtypes, linkage analysis revealed a previously undetected QTL on chromosome 5 around 100 cM. Interestingly, the animals of this subtype presented the same q paternal haplotype at the 168 cM QTL. This result strongly suggests that the two QTL are in interaction. In other words, the "q configuration" at the 168 cM QTL could hide the QTL existence in the proximal region at 100 cM. We further show that the proximal QTL interacts with the previous one detected on the chromosome 5 distal region. Our results demonstrate that stratifying genetic population by molecular phenotypes followed by QTL analysis on various subtypes can lead to identification of novel and interacting QTL.

AnnotQTL is a web tool designed to aggregate functional annotations from different prominent web sites by minimizing the redundancy of information. Although thousands of QTL regions have been identified in livestock species, most of them are large and contain many genes. This tool was therefore designed to assist the characterization of genes in a QTL interval region as a step towards selecting the best candidate genes. It localizes the gene to a specific region (using NCBI and Ensembl data) and adds the functional annotations available from other databases (Gene Ontology, Mammalian Phenotype, HGNC and Pubmed). Both human genome and mouse genome can be aligned with the studied region to detect synteny and segment conservation, which is useful for running inter-species comparisons of QTL locations. Finally, custom marker lists can be included in the results display to select the genes that are closest to your most significant markers. We use examples to demonstrate that in just a couple of hours, AnnotQTL is able to identify all the genes located in regions identified by a full genome scan, with some highlighted based on both location and function, thus considerably increasing the chances of finding good candidate genes. AnnotQTL is available at http://annotqtl.genouest.org.

A factor model to analyze heterogeneity in gene expression.

[Hide abstract]
Microarray technology allows the simultaneous analysis of thousands of genes within a single experiment. Significance analyses of transcriptomic data ignore the gene dependence structure. This leads to correlation among test statistics which affects a strong control of the false discovery proportion. A recent method called FAMT allows capturing the gene dependence into factors in order to improve high-dimensional multiple testing procedures. In the subsequent analyses aiming at a functional characterization of the differentially expressed genes, our study shows how these factors can be used both to identify the components of expression heterogeneity and to give more insight into the underlying biological processes. The use of factors to characterize simple patterns of heterogeneity is first demonstrated on illustrative gene expression data sets. An expression data set primarily generated to map QTL for fatness in chickens is then analyzed. Contrarily to the analysis based on the raw data, a relevant functional information about a QTL region is revealed by factor-adjustment of the gene expressions. Additionally, the interpretation of the independent factors regarding known information about both experimental design and genes shows that some factors may have different and complex origins. As biological information and technological biases are identified in what was before simply considered as statistical noise, analyzing heterogeneity in gene expression yields a new point of view on transcriptomic data.

La technologie des puces à ADN permet l'analyse simultanée du niveau d'expression de plusieurs milliers de gènes. Un des enjeux de l'analyse de ce type de données est de comprendre la structure de dépendance, qui rend compte des relations biologiques entre les gènes. En particulier, on s'intéresse ici à la modélisation du réseau de régulation des gènes impliqués dans le contrôle d'un caractère phénotypique. Dans un premier temps, on définit un cadre général pour la prise en compte de la dépendance par l'identification de facteurs latents, modélisant la variation commune à l'ensemble des gènes. On montre que l'introduction de ces facteurs dans les procédures d'analyse différentielle en améliore la puissance ainsi que la stabilité des taux d'erreurs. De plus, dans le contexte des modèles graphiques gaussiens pour la modélisation des réseaux d'interactions entre gènes, on présente une méthode d'estimation des corrélations partielles s'appuyant sur la réduction de la dimension des données par les variables latentes. La méthode est illustrée par son application à une étude visant à identifier les gènes impliqués dans le métabolisme des lipides chez le poulet (UMR INRA Génétique Animale de Rennes).

Genetic Analysis of a Complex Trait Using Transcriptomic Data: Contribution of Gene Regulatory Network Modeling

[Hide abstract]
The availability of genome-wide expression data to complement the measurements of a phenotypic trait opens new opportunities for identifying biologic processes and genes that are involved in trait expression. Usually differential analysis is a preliminary step to identify the key biological processes involved in the variability of the trait of interest. However, this variability shall be viewed as resulting from a complex combination of genes individual contributions. In other words, exploring the interactions between genes viewed in a network structure which vertices are genes and edges stand for inhibition or activation connections gives much more insight on the internal structure of expression profiles. Many currently available solutions for network analysis based on the Gaussian Graphical Model have been developed but an efficient estimation of the network from high-dimensional data is still a questioning issue. Extending the idea introduced for differential analysis by Friguet et al. 2009 and Blum et al. 2010, we propose to take advantage of a factor model structure to infer gene regulatory networks. This method shows good inferential properties and also allows an efficient testing strategy for the significance of direct gene interactions (partial correlations). We use the method in a study that aims at identifying the genes implied in fatness variability in chickens. We model the networks of genes controlled by genome regions known to be related to the fatness variability and analyze the modular structure thanks to the annotation available giving us new hypotheses about the causal mutations and underlying biological processes.

Hundreds flock to Workington motor show
Last updated at 20:15, Thursday, 26 April 2012
Hundreds of people visited Workington's first Urban Motor Show.
The event, organised by cnevents, part of CN Group which owns the Times & Star, saw West Cumbrian motor dealers bring the newest models to Workington town centre.
There was also entertainment and activities for all the family, but the stars of Saturday's show were the cars.
They were provided by some of the most trusted names in the business – Border Cars, Dobies Peugeot and Vauxhall, both of Lillyhall, Stan Palmer Honda, of Cockermouth, and B and H Motors, of Whitehaven.
Stephen McCullough, business development director for CN Group, said: "It was an incredible success.
"The town centre was absolutely heaving and local businesses probably benefited as a result of the huge interest people showed in the cars and the extra visitors.
"The car dealers who were involved reported that a lot of people were booking test drives for Sunday, so people were looking to buy."
The event was inspired partly by the success of a similar show in Whitehaven.
Mr McCullough added: "Bringing the cars to the people is a reversal of what has been done in the past. It seems to work well as there were a lot of healthy inquiries made about the cars being showcased."
Dean Adams, 32, sales executive for the Vauxhall dealership, said: "The atmosphere was buzzing all day.
"We really hope it comes back to Workington next year because it was a great day for us and for the town."
Ron Batty, dealer principal for B and H Motors, said: "We took a variety of cars down including the new Ibiza and spoke to quite a few people."

Hundley Goes 3-0 Over USC
Instant analysis: No. 9 UCLA 38, No. 19 USC 20
UCLA eliminated USC from the Pac-12 South race with a lopsided 38-20 win at the Rose Bowl. It marks the first three-game winning streak in the series for the Bruins since 1996-98.
How the game was won: After USC (7-4, 6-3 Pac-12) took a 7-0 lead, UCLA (9-2, 6-2) basically did whatever it wanted. The Bruins led 24-14 at halftime and extended the lead to 38-14 in the third quarter before coasting to the win.
Game ball goes to: UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley finished 22-of-31 for 326 yards three touchdowns passes to move to 3-0 in his career against the Trojans -- the first Bruins quarterback since Cade McNown with such a record. Hundley also rushed for a touchdown and passed McNown to become UCLA's career leader in total offense.
What it means: UCLA can lock up the Pac-12 South with a win against Stanford next week at home. It would be the Bruins' third appearance in the title game since it was introduced in 2011 -- the most of any Pac-12 team. USC could have clinched the division on Saturday with a win and an Arizona State loss to Washington State, but instead are no longer in contention.
Playoff implication: UCLA is a serious threat for a playoff berth. If the Bruins win out, they would be 11-2 (including a potential revenge win against Oregon). Would that be enough to convince the committee they deserve a shot? Who knows, but they would have to be seriously considered. Their résumé would include five wins against teams that are currently ranked by the committee and both losses are also to ranked teams. That compares favorably to, say, Ohio State, which has one bad loss (Virginia Tech) and counts Minnesota as one of its best two wins.
Best play: UCLA's Thomas Duarte caught a 57-yard pass from Hundley in the first quarter, which set the tone for the type of night it would be.
What's next: UCLA hosts newly bowl-eligible Stanford (6-5, 4-4) next week and USC will host reeling Notre Dame (7-4).
Brett Hundley totals 4 TDs as No. 9 UCLA wins 3rd straight over USC
PASADENA, Calif. -- Brett Hundley passed for 326 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for another score, leading No. 11 UCLA past No. 24 Southern California 38-20 on Saturday night for the Bruins' third straight victory in the annual crosstown showdown.
Devin Lucien, Thomas Duarte and Eldridge Massington caught scoring passes as the Bruins (9-2, 6-2 Pac-12) confirmed their Los Angeles supremacy and closed in on the Pac-12 South title with a one-sided romp over their biggest rivals at a festive Rose Bowl.
Paul Perkins rushed for 93 yards and a score for UCLA, which hadn't won three straight over USC since 1998.
After five consecutive wins down the stretch of a slow-starting season, UCLA can advance to the Pac-12 title game with a victory over Stanford on Friday.
Cody Kessler passed for 214 yards for the Trojans (7-4, 6-3), who struggled mightily against UCLA's inspired defense.

Mailbag: Humbug to Pac-12 pride
Follow me on Twitter. It's the first step toward making your life into an epic poem.
To the notes?
Luke from Tucson, Ariz., writes: Thank you to Kevin Gemmell for writing the following: "This league's coaches rarely talk about what's good for the conference. They want what's best for their own team -- national perception and conference pride be damned. And for the record, this fifth of the Pac-12 blog is just fine with that." I find a lot of writing in the blog is around the narrative of the Pac-12 winning a national championship. This seems reasonable considering it is the Pac-12 blog. However, I pose the question: How many people read this blog because they are fans of the conference and how many people read because they are fans of a team in the conference? I'd argue the latter is a much larger portion. The narrative pretending their is some sort of overall conference strategy where we all pull the rope to win a national title is a little silly. I'm an Arizona fan. If Oregon makes it to the playoff will I cheer for them? Yes. Is Oregon winning a national title one of my goals as an Arizona fan coming into the season? Absolutely not. Fans from 10 other teams in the conference feel the same way.Buffs fans don't care if OSU "flipped the script" and now ASU doesn't get to be part of a de facto playoff game against Oregon. Buffs fans want a conference W, and go to your blog for insight on how they get there. Same with me. If the Ducks win a national title I'll be happy for them and happy for the conference. But that's it, slightly happy.
Ted Miller: Interesting point, and this is a position I've heard before from Pac-12 fans. It's pretty much a big-city, pro-sports attitude, where a team has no notable, vested interests in the success of, say, its league or division. It also tends to mean you're a not an obsessive college football fan, in that obsessive college football fans follow the entire game nearly as much as their own team, see the constant trolling that goes on between the ESPN.com conference blogs.
I'm not going to tell you how to be a sports fan. That's entirely your call, and we appreciate you visiting ESPN.com. I do, however, have a position on this, which I'm sure shocks you.
First off, I think what Kevin is noting is that Pac-12 teams don't have any intention of laying down to further a rival's national title hopes, which should surprise no one. We both talk to coaches all the time about what's "good" for the conference. What these coaches want is the Pac-12 to receive the same deference as the SEC, and they'd prefer themselves and not their top rivals to be the conference's bell cow.
Of course their overwhelming interests are their own teams, which sign their paychecks, but they also understand a shared interest. That would include, for example, the Pac-12 playing a nine-game conference schedule while other conferences play only eight. Just about every Pac-12 coach believes that is a problem because it ensures the conference has six more losses in its collective standings every season, though it's more front and center for coaches whose teams presently have a national outlook compared to coaches who are just trying to win a conference game.
And you better believe there's shared interests in a conference with revenue sharing. When the Pac-12 got two BCS bowl teams, each team pocketed an additional $500,000, plus or minus, so Pac-12 rivals tend to be frenemies. That won't change in the College Football Playoff, when the Pac-12 getting left out will cost every conference team big money.
I view it as no coincidence that you got your feathers up, Luke, when an Arizona State loss at Oregon State was bemoaned as a lost opportunity for the conference to stage a Pac-12 championship game as a play-in contest for the inaugural College Football Playoff between a pair of highly rated teams. Of course, your emotional reaction to any sympathy for the Sun Devils, whose misfortune you surely were rejoicing about on Saturday, colors your position.
But this also comes down to a pretty straightforward cost-benefit analysis, something the SEC and its rabid rivalries picked up on before the rest of the nation: A rising (Crimson?) tide lifts all ships. While your emotions are almost entirely invested in loving your team and hating your top rivals, there's also the practical shared interest within Power 5 conferences of wanting to distinguish the conference as a whole, to look better top to bottom than the other four major conferences, to be first among so-called equals. Without the purity of an extensive playoff, as there are in pro sports, there's still a beauty contest going on every year in college football, and it's all about regional perceptions.
For example, Alabama fans were in a quandary when Auburn played Oregon for the national title. How could they possibly root for Auburn -- ever?! Many couldn't bring themselves to do it. But many did in the name of SEC solidarity. And the many who couldn't still salved their feelings when the Tigers won the title by saying, "Well, at least the SEC kept the national championship streak going."
I expect that to be the same for many in the Pac-12. Many Washington and Oregon State fans surely couldn't root for the Ducks to win a national title, but if that had happened there would have been a part of them that recognized the Pac-12 taking down the SEC as a good thing for the Pac-12 and, by extension, themselves.
This doesn't mean you begin every season rooting for your team and the Pac-12 in general on equal footing. But there is unquestionably a shared interest.
Let's say Arizona is approaching the end of the 2015 regular season and is ranked No. 6 in the college football rankings. You turn on the TV and see a pundit saying, "Arizona has looked great this year, but the Pac-12 is down. That's why you have to give the edge to a second SEC team getting into the playoff."
You'd probably find your self becoming more of a collectivist.
Caleb from Astoria, Ore., writes: If Utah wins out, UCLA beats USC, Stanford beats UCLA, and Arizona beats Arizona State, this leaves all five teams at 6-3 in Pac-12 play. Who would go to the Pac-12 Championship game?
Ted Miller: Utah.
Tiebreaker: The Utes and UCLA, with 3-1 records against the other four, would eliminate Arizona, Arizona State and USC. Then the Utes would win out because of their head-to-head win over UCLA.
Spencer from Indianapolis writes: This year the Pac 12 bowls have a new selection process. Do you feel like some of the better teams might slip to a lower bowl because of fan base, location, and so on? I feel like my Utes might slip down because they are not as big of a draw as others. I also feel like some other teams may slip down as well. Just wondering your thoughts on the process this year.
Ted Miller: If you are talking about major bowls outside the playoff -- the Peach, Fiesta, Cotton and Orange bowls -- the selection committee is also placing teams in those games based on its rankings, which means those old, annoying considerations -- such as selling hotel rooms -- won't play a predominant role in picking teams. That's unquestionably a good thing.
As for the Pac-12's existing bowl partnerships, those will be mostly the same. While the SEC, ACC and Big Ten have taken more control over the bowl selection procedure, the Pac-12 still has a rule that allows bowls to pass over a team as long as there is no more than a one-game difference in conference record.
So the, say, Alamo Bowl could pass over Utah in favor of USC, even though the Utes beat the Trojans as long as USC is no more than one-game behind the Utes in the conference standings.
But that's no different than any other year.
Aaron Tigard, Ore., writes: Hey PAC, Sad days here. With Marcus Mariota's latest transgression, how does this impact the team and his draft prospects? Based on the coverage, I have to imagine that Coach Helfrich has no option other than removing him from the team, posthaste. Will the CFP committee take this into account? As for "Menace" Mariota, is there an NFL team out there who will be willing to take a chance on a player who clearly has off-the-field issues? Should he even declare for the draft or should he transfer to Portland State for a year to rehab his image?
Ted Miller: Mr. Subtle immediately picked up on your facetiousness here. And I get it. Most folks speed -- ranging between sometimes and all of the time. Mariota is unquestionably a high-character guy, not in the sense that he's a great football player who hasn't been arrested and handles the media well but in the sense that he'd be viewed as a paragon of what a young man should be even without football. There are no naysayers to this. And snarky me has looked for them.
Yet let's not make light of driving 80 mph in a 55 mph zone. That's a bad thing. You'd feel differently if there had been an accident and someone who was obeying traffic laws had been injured. Considering that speeding occurs in 33 percent of all fatal accidents, this is not something to sniff at. Aggressive speeding is selfish and stupid and dangerous.
Of course, part of this is me being 45 and having two children. I've become a militant slow driver -- as in I never go over 10 miles above the speed limit. I also take a passive-aggressive joy in making tailgating speeders lives miserable. Pull up to my bumper to show me I'm going too slow for you? Well, I'll show you slow.
When you're in your 20s, you often think you're immortal and bad things only happen to other people. Or you are above the rules. After all, your life is so important and you are in a hurry and everybody needs to just get out of your way because you are late and that isn't your fault it's these slow drivers!
Mariota is a fine young man. He also needs to slow the freak down.

To mark IDC Herzliya's 20th anniversary, we spent a day following Prof. Uriel Reichman, IDC's founder and president, and Jonathan Davis, VP for External Relations, around its delightful campus.
A man who stabbed an Orthodox Jew in Geneva was found unfit to stand trial in Switzerland because of his clinical paranoia and "irrational fear of an international conspiracy."
A court in Geneva earlier this month found that the 22-year-old man, who was not named, was too "mentally ill" to stand trial for stabbing and seriously wounding a 32-year-old French Jew in 2011, the Tribune de Genève daily reported.
The attack occurred in the parking lot of Geneva's Natural History Museum while the victim, a citizen of France from Aix-les-Bains, was putting a baby carriage in the trunk of his car. His attacker stabbed him four times in view of the victim's family. The victim arrived in the hospital in critical condition and spent several weeks there recovering.
The defendant, who grew up in Britain, was arrested a year after the attack in the Netherlands and extradited to Switzerland at the end of what the CICAD, a Swiss watchdog on anti-Semitism, termed "a long investigation by the police."
The court declared the attacker unfit to stand trial based on a psychiatric evaluation that said he was a "paranoid schizophrenic suffering from visual hallucinations as well as hallucinated voices and fears of an international conspiracy." He will be locked up in an institution for mentally ill people who pose a serious risk to their environment, the paper said.
Johanne Gurfinkel, the secretary general of a CICAD, told JTA the defendant belonged to far-right circles. "The perpetrator of this act may have suffered from mental problems, but he clearly attacked his victim out of anti-Semitic hatred," Gurfinkel said.

HTC to follow LG with 3D smartphone
HTC has followed LG's lead by fitting its latest smartphone with a glasses-free 3D display. The HTC Evo 3D runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread with the latest HTC Sense UI sitting on top, all on a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. It features a dimension-boosting 4.3in, 540 x 960 - aka "qHD" - display, as well as twin 5Mp …
And how does this affect the battery?
When I look to replace my Android next year, I'll be looking for two things: NFC support, battery life.
Oh, and an alternative to the 32MB of Adobe crap that's required on my device.
It probably doesn't
Parallax barrier displays are currently passive - something sits in front of the pixels and masks odd pixels from one eye and even pixels from the other.
Biggest issue is it cuts the horizontal resolution in half and requires the user be exactly positioned to see the effect. I assume in phones that it wouldn't even enable the barrier except when you're taking a 3D picture or something so even if it consumed a small amount of power when enabled it wouldn't be used that often.
I'd be more worried about the stupid premium the phone would command for having 2 cameras on the back and a gimmick 3D effect.
I can't see this as being anything other than a gimick on such a small screen. Long term, no future for 3d smartphones in their current design.
HTC would be better off improving their dodgy touchscreen accuracy (on the HD7 I had anyway) and terrible screen performance in sunlight than messing with 3D.

Forever overshadowed internationally by the nouvelle vague, the decade-long Prague Spring, whence came Czech voices like Milos Forman, Ivan Passer, and Frantisek Vlácil, may be the most poignant of the New Waves: short-lived, vibrantly intimate, and dizzy with absurdist élan. From its forgotten corners comes this fascinating omnibus film: five shorts directed by movement powerhouses Jirí Menzel, Jan Nemec, Evald Schorm, Vera Chytilová, and Jaromil Jires, all based on semi-surrealist tales by national literary lion Bohumil Hrabal. (In 1994, Hrabal was still famous enough to warrant a detour for visiting President Clinton, and the two hit the local public house for a beer.) Generally anarchist and scaldingly farcical, the films look totalitarian life square in the eye, but they're also living testaments to the era's lovable, grungy Euro-slacker esprit. The standout chunkperhaps because it risks the bankis Chytilová's wicked, free-form comedy about an all-night beer café turned upside down by the appearance of a corpse, but all five films are compelling time capsules of defiance and love. Supplemented by a chatty booklet of background info.

Microsoft Buys Multi-Touch Pioneer Perceptive Pixel 85
from the it-sounds-very-sensitive dept.
Who took them away from you? There's plenty of phones with buttons, plenty of feature phones, and if you really want to get medieval, you can even find phones that can barely text. How about you stop trying to stifle things you don't understand?
Cause no one else would fail to see that using multi-touch on an 84" screen means waving both arms around.
Yeah, I'm failing to see that, especially since I'm watching it in use [youtu.be] and don't see the guy waving around both arms. With your use of the word "waving" you're trying to convey this wild flailing motion, but the actual interaction with the device seems as natural as what I would do on a chalk board.

All the news from the annual Google I/O event, including the latest on Android.
CNET editors choose the best GoPro models, action cameras and camcorders of 2014.
If you like GoPro's camera design and just want solid HD video, you might be able to save yourself $100 and get this instead of the $400 Black Edition.
Here I GoPro again on my own with a new Hero3+ Music edition, allowing musicians to attach tiny HD cameras to instruments and mic stands for live gigs and music videos.
Should I stay or should I GoPro? Stay right here and check out pictures of the new Hero3+ Music edition that attaches cameras to instruments and mic stands.
The insides are different, but the design of the Silver Edition looks identical to GoPro's Hero3+ Black Edition (pictures)
Though it lacks several bells and whistles of the Black Edition, and the video isn't quite as good, for $100 less the Silver edition still packs plenty of punch.
Though the updates might seem minor on paper, the GoPro Hero3+ is most definitely more than the sum of its parts, proving that it's still the king of action cameras.
The incremental update brings better Wi-Fi and battery life, a new lens, and a couple added shooting features.
The company that has become synonymous with action cameras, GoPro, has revealed a smaller and lighter model called the Hero3+.
BASE jumpers, snorkelers, and skate punks rejoice: The new models bring smaller size, better battery life, new video modes, and faster Wi-Fi.
Updating the software on your shiny new GoPro Hero 3 is a simple process, but one that takes a bit of time.

Just when you've stopped worrying, along comes Sir Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal, with teeming armies of deadly viruses, nanobots, and armed fanatics in Our Final Century.
Beyond the hazards most of us know about--smallpox, terrorists, global warming--Rees introduces the new threats of the 21st century and the unholy political and scientific alliances that have made them possible. He spells out doomsday scenarios for cosmic collisions, high-energy experiments gone wrong, and self-replicating machines that steadily devour the biosphere. If we can avoid driving ourselves to extinction, he writes, a glorious future awaits; if not, our devices may very well destroy the universe.
What happens here on Earth, in this century, could conceivably make the difference between a near eternity filled with ever more complex and subtle forms of life and one filled with nothing but base matter.
For many technological debacles, Rees places much of the blame squarely on the shoulders of the scientists who participate in perfecting environmental destruction, biological menaces, and ever-more powerful weapons. So is there any hope for humanity? Rees is vaguely optimistic on this point, offering solutions that would require a level of worldwide cooperation humans have yet to exhibit. If the daily news isn't enough to make you want to crawl under a rock, this book will do the trick. --Therese Littleton

Bruins Have Big Opportunity on Hand Considering Timing of Home-and-Home Series Against Maple Leafs (Video)
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 11/15/14
While the Bruins won their last time out, it wasn't the prettiest of victories. Then again, looking back at how this road trip has gone for the B's, any victory is cause for celebration. Boston has a chance to wrap up that road trip in Toronto on Saturday night, and when they get home, the Maple Leafs will be waiting there to play again. That rare home-and-home should give the team a great opportunity to capitalize on their rival's recent downturn in fortune and also could allow the B's to finally regain the momentum they've lost in the middle stretch of this season. NESN Nation's Dan Duquette is optimistic about the Bruins' chances at a ninth straight win against Toronto. See why in the above video. Join NESN Nation: In-game home page | Twitter | Facebook

Basic Inflatable EZ Bed 322 341
Love the convenience of this bed My guest have said it is very comfortable and they don't feel as if they are sleeping on the floor. When the kids want to play, I fold it up (sorry it folds itself up) and put it in the laundry room. I love this bed. March 7, 2014
Wonderful bed. I bought this after trying several other options for quest beds like fold out sofa, futon, air mattress. This bed is so very easy . It comes in a wheeled case for ease in placement. You plug it in and it self inflates/unfolds. The guests stated that it was very comfortable and it held the air for the entire visit. Just as easy to deflate and put away. March 6, 2014
I am amazed Received the inflatable EZBed in record time. Was amazed how it inflated and how it could be deflated to the original size. Great. March 5, 2014
Amazing item Love the Inflatable EZ Bed. Remarkable piece of equipment. March 5, 2014
Great for guests Bed was easy to put up and to store. Comfortable for adults and did not loose any air during use. March 4, 2014
Quality Inflatable Bed and truly EZ We've used this bed about 5 times for various company and they all raved at how comfortable it is. I use a fairly thick mattress cover to increase the overall comfort. It is very easy to inflate and deflate and is small enough to easily store until the next use. February 27, 2014
One of our better purchases We had bought two twin size deluxe Aerobeds and found them too wobbly. Guest to our home complained about them. After we got the EZ beds, our guests were wowed by the ease of inflation and deflation. Plus they provided plenty of support and provided a good nights sleep. Very Pleased February 26, 2014
Must-have Convenience The EZ Bed works just as advertised and it's a breeze to inflate and deflate. Space-saving and convenient, it's a real bargain. February 24, 2014
Great product This was an excellent purchase. We were looking for a spare bed for when guests are in town. The inflating and deflating features were incredibly easy. Love the way it rolls once back in its case, and is so easy to store. This was an excellent purchase and exceeded my expectations. February 17, 2014
Good purchase - better than an aerobed I downsized from a 4600 square foot house to a one-bedroom apartment, and I needed a bed for the occasional overnight guest/s. Because I like my living room sofa, I did not want to replace it with a sleep sofa. That left the Aerobed or the Inflatable EZ Bed. A friend sent me a link to the EZ Bed. I considered it for a few months and went back and forth about which do I buy. In the end, I wanted something that would be higher off the floor. I ordered the Twin size and slept on it myself when I had 2 guests - one slept on my bed and one on my sofa. The bed is great! It expands very easily, and collapses easily. The only drawback: the case is not small. But it fits in my bedroom closet. I would buy it again! February 17, 2014
Awesome Bed Great Bed. Easy to inflate and deflate. Comfortable to sleep on. It is helpful to put a mattress pad on it or a blanket. Helps with the cold of the mattress. February 14, 2014
Extremely happy with this purchase It was with a wing and a prayer that I bought and shipped two single beds to our son's home for my husband's and my use during our visit. They were honestly the best sleeping beds I have experienced. I am considering replacing my Sleep Number Bed here at home! Not only were they sturdy and comfortable, but the ease of set up and take down was remarkable. We used them for three weeks and neither of the beds lost air. Thank you so much for a great product. February 11, 2014
Best Investment I Ever Made This bed is better than any sleeper sofa or any inflatable bed. Amazing, you can setup with one hand in less than 10 minutes. Did I say AMAZING!!!! February 8, 2014
Works well, good value Purchased this to use when visiting my elderly mother in a retirement community. Space is limited, but this bed is very compact when stored in its case and not too bulky when inflated. Very easy to set up and take down and quite comfortable. February 4, 2014
Great purchase. So happy I decided to purchase this bed. it is easy to inflate, deflate and pack up after use. My guests loved it! So much so they are going to purchased for themselves. Highly recommend it. February 3, 2014
Incredible! I thought this might be nice when we saw it on line but it is so sturdy yet also compact. It comes in a zippered storage case that is part of the bed itself. You unzip, plug it in and it inflates. Very comfortable and a large twin. Then, when you deflate, it folds itself back up in the storage case. Zip it up and roll it away. It has a handle and rollers like a suitcase. It is just a little bigger than a large suitcase. We are very very pleased with it. January 30, 2014
Best Purchase Ever My mother-in-law received this bed as a Christmas gift so guests could stay at her smaller apartment. My husband and I loved how easily this inflatable bed was to set up and take down. We also liked the fact that it was off the floor. It folds up nicely in its own luggage like case. We decided to purchase two beds for ourselves to use when we travel as well as for our guests. We love them! Best purchase ever! January 28, 2014
love it! I bought this for my husband and I when my mother-in-law comes. We give her our bed and I was tired of sleeping on the floor. I took the advice of others and got a topper for it. We had a restful night. Was not like sleeping on other air mattresses, I didn't wake up when my husband rolled over. So easy to set up and take down. I did not have trouble with the sheets staying on as others had reported. January 23, 2014
Instant Guest Room We had been struggling with the problem of whether or not to add a fold out couch to my husband's small office when I saw this bed on the GrandinRoad website. I was convinced by the video and was not at all disappointed once the bed arrived. It is space saver and far superior to any of the blow up beds that sit on the floor. Another plus - it's fun to watch it inflate!!! January 21, 2014
Mixed feelings I have to say that this is a very cool product. It works exactly as advertised and it's incredibly easy. However, I found myself waking up very cold- from the mattress. I had plenty of blankets on but it was chilly from below. The next night I put two quilts under the bottom sheet and it was better- still not warm. However, it was a really cold week and the house was chilly. It may be lovely 75% of the year. I also would say that this is more of a one person bed. Two people make too much motion to sleep very well. January 21, 2014
Perfect I have waited to buy this for a very long time. My parents were visiting and they were sleeping on a mattress on the floor!! So I bought this bed and it set up beautifully, effortlessly and exactly as described. It went down just as easily. Just zip it up and roll it into the closet. Perfect. Money well spent. January 21, 2014
Guest loved it. Easy to set up but would like some way to tuck the covers in. Love the way it rolls and is easy to move from one location to another. January 18, 2014
Great Purchase This bed came just in the nick of time. We had tons of company for the holidays. The compact size is perfect for storing. Setting up this bed is done with the push of a button. Amazing to watch. Thank you! January 7, 2014
Great Purchase I was searching for a roll away bed for a month when I came across the EZ bed. I can not say how happy I am with this bed. It is so easy to set up and take down and it fits right back into the zipper bag for easy storage. My guest who used it over the holidays said how comfortable it was. I would strongly recommend this bed. January 7, 2014
Basic Inflatable EZ Bed Good purchase - have only used once, but it worked perfectly opening and closing. Guests who slept on it, said it was very comfortable. Very pleased with this purchase and would recommend highly. December 30, 2013
EZ Bed rocks! I have slept on many an inflatable bed and this one is by far the most comfortable and easiest to set up. I highly recommend this item. December 30, 2013
Great purchase! I purchased this as an extra bed was needed for family coming for Christmas. The inflation and deflation worked excellently plus the bed is comfortable. Storing is great as it takes little space. December 26, 2013
What to do with an extra college student Think of this as the bed in a closet. Its truly a push button and watch it go product. Much more comfortable than any air mattress, but not quite as compact. Overall great way to give the surprise college student an comfortable place to sleep! December 24, 2013
Great temporary bed for guests! This bed is great for guests in our otherwise overflowing house. My husband and I slept on it and let our guests have our bed. Definitely a fair trade. We are redoing a bedroom and it will be great during the construction since it is so EASY to set up and take down. Good price...far better than any others I've seen and free shipping. I always find something perfect from Grandinroad! December 22, 2013
perfect! Easy to inflate/deflate/store. Fantastic engineering--it's even fun to watch the bed take shape! Love it! December 22, 2013

How punctue proof?
Longwood, FL, USA
I have two cats with claws, obviously. They don't 'scratch' into things normally, however jumping on/off the bed I'm concerned they'll accidentally puncture this. Does anyone who has this bed have pets? If so, how deep a mattress cover should I buy to keep this bed 'safe'? I'd like to know if the bed material is thick and/or fairly puncture proof before I buy. Thank you.
