News Highlights:
- Survey outlines seven distinct personality types among American adults' connectivity habits
- Most Americans prefer screen time over face time when communicating with family and friends
- Highly connected personalities exhibit behavior patterns of extreme device and technology dependence and are more concerned about losing their mobile phones than luggage or car keys
Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications, today announced the results of the Broadcom Connectivity Study, a survey of 2,500 U.S. adults measuring connectivity trends across behavioral and demographic lines in today's digital life. The survey revealed seven distinct connectivity personality types among American adults, defined by two key dimensions: Connectivity, or the level of device and social media use, and Behavior, or how web-enabled devices and online platforms are used to connect to others. It also identified a range of characteristics of those with the greatest connectivity quotient. A full report on the survey findings can also be accessed here: http://blog.broadcom.com/connecting-everything/whats-your-connectivity-style-take-the-survey-to-find-out.
Connectivity Personality Segments
The Broadcom Study explored a wide range of behaviors and attitudes around how people use technology to connect. The survey uncovered that gender and age are the main drivers of connectivity – the highly connected are more likely to be female or a Millennial (ages 18-31), while the less connected tend to be male or a member of the Baby Boomers (ages 45-64) or Greatest Generation (65 and above). From sharing apps and content, to comparison shopping on a mobile phone, to purchasing a connected car, the survey revealed seven categories and preferences of American's connectivity personalities and behavior styles:
Always On: 8 percent of the U.S. adult population
This group uses technology mainly to create new content and proactively engage others. They are the most connected of all segments. This segment sees technology as a critical enabler of their relationships with others. This group is more likely to be early adopters of new technology, opinion elites (top 10 percent of the population engaged in civic and political activity), and are more likely than other segments to use technology to connect with people they want to know (19 percent) versus people they already know.
Live Wires: 35 percent of the U.S. adult population
This group is highly connected and tends to use technology to converse with others. They are the most likely group to say they use technology mainly to stay current with family and friends (69 percent). This group and Social Skimmers are most similar in device ownership – most own smartphones (68 percent) and many own tablets (38 percent) and web-enabled TVs (24 percent). This group is more likely to be employed full-time and in the Millennial age group.
Social Skimmers: 6 percent of the U.S. adult population
This high connectivity group is marked by ownership of many devices, use of many social networking sites, large online social networks, and the frequent use of technology to connect with friends and family. Although highly connected, this group primarily uses new technology to receive information, rather than proactively engage with others. As such, two-thirds (66 percent) say they have first found out about a breaking news story on social media.
Broadcasters: 8 percent of the U.S. adult population
Lower in connectivity than the highly connected, this group uses technology selectively to create new content and tell others what they are doing, as opposed to commenting in a more conversational fashion or initiating new engagement. This group is the least likely to be on social media -- three in five (60 percent) say they do not use it. Instead, this group prefers to connect using their mobile phones and three in four (76 percent) say they primarily make and receive calls on their cell phone.
Toe-Dippers: 27 percent of the U.S. adult population
This group is the largest of the three low connectivity groups and its members primarily use technology to converse with others. This group chiefly owns desktop (64 percent) and laptop (54 percent) computers, and nearly a quarter (23 percent) use a smartphone. They are the most likely segment to say that they prefer in-person contact when communicating with friends (43 percent), but even for this less connected group, a majority prefers to connect with friends using technology (57 percent).
Bystanders: 15 percent of the U.S. adult population
Bystanders are the least connected. Two in three (67 percent) own desktop computers but they have the lowest ownership of laptops (48 percent) and only about one in ten (12 percent) owns a smartphone. They use technology to connect with family and friends less than three (2.8) times each day, which is five times less than the national average (15.7). When they do use technology, they use it to receive information and are the most likely group to say they use technology primarily to keep up with news and current events (31 percent).
Never Minders: 2 percent of the U.S. adult population
This group represents a small segment of the U.S. population who are outliers; they do not use phone, text, or social media to connect to others. This group is apprehensive about using technology and is more likely than the other groups to say that technology makes them feel more isolated (47 percent). When they do connect, they are more likely to do so out of necessity. They are more likely to say they connect to tell friends and family what they are doing (22 percent), to get ahead at work (13 percent) and to not miss out on fun activities (13 percent).
Top Habits of Highly Connected People
The study's findings reveal the connectivity habits of the approximately one in ten (8 percent) who are the most connected – the "Always On" Americans. The Always On not only own more devices and are more active on social media than the average American, but also use technology to actively initiate conversation, whether by posting original commentary to the web, making many phone calls throughout the day, or sending picture messages to their friends. Demographically, the Always On are more likely to be female or Millennial, and are more likely to have children than other Connectivity segments. The most common connectivity habits of Always On are:
- Gear up for being on the go. Mobile devices are an integral part of the Always On lifestyle.
- The typical member of this group does not own just one device, but rather owns more than four different devices (4.1), which is more than one device greater than the national average (2.8).
- They lead the pack in virtually all types of device ownership, especially laptops (81 percent own them), smartphones (72 percent), DVRs (64 percent) and tablets (46 percent).
- But don't assume they own a desktop – only 62 percent do, the lowest level of ownership across the seven personality types.
- Keep your friends close and your devices closer. The Always On put a premium on technology that keeps them connected when on the go.
- Most Americans say that they are most concerned about losing their purse or wallet when traveling (52 percent), but the Always On are most concerned about losing their mobile phone (36 percent). The Always On would also rather lose their luggage, car keys or house keys than a cell phone or laptop.
- Half (51 percent) say they have lost their phone or Internet connection and have experienced "withdrawal symptoms," which is twice the national average (26 percent).
- Compared to the national average, more than twice as many Always On have been asked to put down their phone when eating with friends or family (37 percent).
- Stay in touch, from a distance. For most Americans, screen time is preferred to face time when interacting with others, but the Always On exhibit this behavior in the extreme.
- Three out of four Always On (76 percent) prefer to use technology, such as email, phone or text messaging, to connect to their friends rather than in-person communication; and two-thirds prefer to use technology to communicate with their co-workers (66 percent) and family (62 percent).
- By comparison, two-thirds of American adults favor remote technology over in-person contact when communicating with friends (65 percent), three in five favor it when talking with co-workers (60 percent) and half prefer technology when communicating with family (54 percent).
- Acquire affection from afar. The Always On prefer to connect to those they care about from a distance, and feel closer doing so.
- Nine out of ten (88 percent) Always On say that new technology makes them feel closer to family and friends, as opposed to feeling more isolated (12 percent).
- This is higher than any of the other segments, as well as 12 points higher than the national average (76 percent).
- 47 percent of the least connected among us – the 2 percent of Americans who do not use phone, text, or email to communicate – report that new technology makes them feel more isolated.
- Keep them posted. Always On have a behavioral preference for self-expression.
- While most Always On use technology to receive updates from family and friends, they are also more likely than any other group to primarily use technology to broadcast what they are doing (22 percent).
- Reach out. Always On use technology to make new connections.
- Most people use technology to stay in touch with people they know (91 percent). However, twice as many Always On are using new technology to connect to people that they want to know (19 percent), compared to the average.
- Plug in for a power lunch.
- The Always On are most connected at noon, when more than nine in ten (93 percent) are using a digital device.
- During the lunch hour, Always On are more likely than the other segments to be using their mobile phones (36 percent).

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

Haunted House is a 5 reel (non-progressive), 18-payline, Visionary-igaming Video Slot. It comes with a wildSymbol, scatter symbol, multiplier, free spin and has a maximum jackpot win of $62,500.
Halloween may come but once a year but that won't stop the ghouls and ghosts creeping out of the woodwork on Haunted House, a five reel video slot ViG. It includes a concoction of characters more likely to make you smile than scream, as well as on reel features which create more winning chances.
Speaking of winning, the right combination could gain you prizes up to $62,500; it sounds spooktacular to us!
Haunted House is populated by a classic cast of characters which brighten up its reels. The surrounding area is used for buttons, gaining access to the paytable and as another opportunity to illustrate the theme. You can see the haunted house upon the hill along with creepy trees and peeping eyes within the border area of the slot.
As already mentioned, there are a variety of classic ghouls and ghosts on the reels. These include Frankenstein, witches, werewolves, Count Dracula, the grim reaper, black cats and pumpkins. There's a selection of stone themed icons too which include 10, J, Q, K and A.
Auto plays are available to those with a trained eye. If you think you've missed them simply press the small button in the bottom right hand corner to access the auto play mode. There's also a mute button next to this if you want to quickly switch off the sound.
The pumpkin icon is wild when it appears on the second, third, fourth or fifth reels. It can substitute for a handful of icons but the 10, J, Q, K and A are excluded. All wins created are doubled though, so it's still a useful character to find on the reels.
Werewolves are mostly feared, but not here because two or more can gain you up to 100x your bet when they appear on screen. Check out the paytable for a full rundown of prizes.
Three or more haunted house icons will unlock the bonus game. You decide which windows to open to reveal bonus wins whilst trying to avoid the grim reaper. Don't worry if you find him a couple of times though because you'll be given 3, 4 or 5 lives matched to the number of triggering icons.
The wicked witch also unlocks a bonus feature and you'll gain 2, 4, 6 or 8 free spins when two, three, four or five icons appear respectively. Once this has happened the free spins play immediately before returning you to the regular reels.
The combination of entertaining graphics (there's so many cool monsters), features and betting options makes this an irresistible slot. Then there's the fact that it offers prizes up to $62,500. Surely the only person who could find this slot offensive is Van Helsing? Make your own mind up by playing it at any of the casinos listed below.

You love Paris. You also love to share the table with:
- Good company
- Good food
- Good wine
- A good cup of coffee
- A good cup of tea (yes, tea)
Perhaps you're also very far from home. And sure, it's the gourmet capital of the world...but where to go? With whom? This group is for anyone interested in meeting other people around the table, exploring restaurants, cafés and tearooms in the crowded, bubbling and beautiful city of Paris. We will try to find fine-dining places as well as family-restaurant treasures; spots with good coffee or the best quiet place to enjoy some underrated French tea; explore well-known places and discover some on our own!
You also may have been frustrated with other similar groups' frustrating cliquey or persistent preferential treatment for "legacy" members in waitlists which stifle the main purpose of Meetup groups by leaving little (if any) room for new interactions: we'll have none of that - let's work together to make the best of our common enthusiasm for socializing around the table and make a true Meetup community.

By Rick Pedraza
In an upcoming documentary, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin takes a swipe at what she calls "very scary" media coverage of her and her family, which she says exemplifies "a class issue" that explains the sympathetic treatment of New York Senate hopeful Caroline Kennedy.
The John Ziegler film, "Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected," will be released as a DVD next month and will feature a lengthy interview with Palin, who ran as the vice-presidential candidate of Republican presidential nominee John McCain against Democratic President-elect Barack Obama.
Palin "was assassinated by the media," Ziegler, who was a conservative radio talk show host before becoming a filmmaker, told the Washington Post.
Ziegler, who said Palin was "very concerned about appearing whiny" in the online documentary, said her speech to the Republican National Convention in September was "awesome" and "the fact that she's mocked is a travesty."
The portrayal of Palin in the press as "a diva or a whack job" was totally inappropriate, said Ziegler, pointing to a clip on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" of Palin impersonator Tina Fey saying, "I believe marriage is meant to be a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers," referring to the pending marriage of the Alaska governor's daughter. In Ziegler's film, Palin responds by saying, "Cool, fine, come attack me, but when you make a suggestion like that that attacks a kid, that kills me."
Other excerpts from the film that show Palin taking a swipe at the media include:
"What is the double standard here, why reporters would choose to believe lies, reporters especially not just taking one extra step to get to the facts," Palin asks. "Is it sexism? What is it that drives someone to believe the worst and perpetuate the worst, in terms of gossip and lies?"

Every year, when the Oscar nominations are announced, a considerable amount of time is spent debating who was snubbed. But for every film that was expecting to get nominated and didn't, there's a film that no one was expecting to get nominated and did. This is the story of those films. The movies you'll look back on and wonder exactly how the heck it ever got nominated for an Oscar.

We were joined on "The Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show" today by actor and comedian Dave Coulier.
Coulier is definitely best known for his work as Uncle Joey Gladstone on the '80s/'90s ABC-TV show "Full House."
We talked about a variety of topics, including how he references "Full House" during his stand-up comedy routines, his new TV show and Eric Zane's daughter even got to ask him a question.
We're breaking out our 20 Most Anticipated Games of 2015 to prove that the future is looking bright, and these titles are more than likely going to live up to expectations.

Think about when you look at photos of homes online: If the lighting is terrible, the quality is poor and the listing provides very few photos, don't you subconsciously associate these bad qualities with the homeowner or renter?

Simple question: How does jQuery know what display mode an element should use when using fadeIn?
What I mean, is that it appears to use the proper display mode for any element that I fadeIn, even when I set display:none
initially in my CSS - images are using inline, divs are using block, etc.
I looked into the jQuery source code on GitHub, but I couldnt locate what I was looking for.
Reason I ask is because I am making a little plugin myself, using fade (but with Animate, since there is more than 1 property that needs animation).

December 7, 2012 - I love this bracelet. I ordered it a long time ago and it is actually too big for my wrist so I use it as an ankle bracelet and never take it off. I just ordered several more to give as christmas presents. :)
August 5, 2012 - This one of my favorites and I love it.I wear it as an anklet and I have had many people ask me where I got this special piece of jewlery.It is very beautifully made and I will buy another one or maybe more to give as a gift to special people in my life.

EnvironmentDeath toll rises in Pakistan floods Officials issue warning of more downpour after monsoon rain and floods kill at least 58 across the country. 05 Aug 2013 15:31 GMT | Environment, Humanitarian crises, Asia, Pakistan Authorities say it will take more than two days to clear up after water flooded buildings and blocked roads [AFP]Monsoon rain and floods have killed at least 58 people across Pakistan and affected tens of thousands of others, officials have said, warning of more rain to come. "At least 58 people have died, more than 30 others were injured and 66,000 were affected by rain and flooding in Pakistan since July 31," Brigadier Mirza Kamran Zia, operations chief of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), said on Monday. Twelve people were missing, 2,249 houses were destroyed and 66,341 people have been displaced according to figures released by NDMA. Zia said floods were receding and people were returning to their homes, but he warned that more rain than usual was expected this month and next. 'More rain' NDMA chief Major General Muhammad Saeed Aleem said the recurring flooding was the result of global climate change. "Unexpected rains are global climatic change phenomena, but we can prepare and plan ahead to mitigate the disaster," Aleem said. "We are worried about central Pakistan this year, where more rain and flooding from hill torrents is expected," Aleem said. Flash floods following monsoon rain paralysed parts of the largest city Karachi at the weekend. Authorities in the city of 18 million people, said it would take more than two days to clear up after the flooded markets, buildings and blocked roads. Hundreds of cars were half-submerged after poor sewerage and drainage systems became blocked due to garbage. In the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, homes were swept away. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif sent three of his cabinet ministers to inspect damage in flood-hit areas. Pakistan has suffered devastating monsoon floods for the last three years, including the worst in its history in 2010 when catastrophic inundations killed almost 1,800 people and affected 21 million.Source: Agencies

This module is designed for students who have a graphics or scientific calculator. It gives some examples from the TI-84. So if you have a different calculator, some things may be a little different and you may need to consult your instruction booklet. There is a lot to learn about any calculator and it may take you some time to get to know how to use its many facilities. This module focuses on using it to do arithmetic. Even in this limited role, you will find it a powerful tool with many advantages. Depending upon your previous experience using a calculator, this module may take you more or less time than others.
Although this unit uses the TI-84 calculator in its examples, you should still be able to complete this unit by using any other graphic or scientific calculator.

Memorising the spelling of perennial, diminutive and scrupulous won Cantabrian Lily MacMillun a place in the final of this year's New Zealand Spelling Bee.
The Geraldine High School pupil came first in yesterday's semifinal in Christchurch by correctly spelling the word "perennial" in the final round against Villa Maria College pupils Jess Charlton and Hannah Warner.
Year 9 pupil Jess took out second place after tripping on the word "diminutive", while fellow year 9 pupil Hannah secured third after stumbling on "scrupulous".
The top three spellers will go to the national final in Wellington on October 18 to compete against 15 other finalists from around the country.
The winning speller will be crowned New Zealand's Spelling Bee Champion and will receive $5000 cash.
Organiser Janet Lucas said the spellers at yesterday's event were "really enthusiastic", but some felt the pressure.
"There were a few tears. It's really nerve-racking and tense," she said. "It's hard to know who's the most nervous out of the spellers and parents."
The nation's best spellers came from a pool of 200 entrants from year 9 and 10 classes.

BOSTON — Massachusetts transportation officials proposed multiple options, including new taxes and fees, to raise the $1 billion per year needed to maintain and update public transit as well as highways and bridges, reports the Associated Press.
The options, which were outlined in a report given to Gov. Deval Patrick, include raising the state's gasoline tax, sales tax or income tax, among other things. The report also called for a $13 billion capital investment plan over the next ten years to help pay for several longer-term projects, including expansion of the MBTA's Green Line. To read the full story, click here.
The campaign is similar to the one developed for subways, with the focus on reminding passengers that avoiding certain behaviors can ensure a faster and more pleasant ride for everyone. Reminders include step aside to let others off first; remove your backpack; and don't clip your nails on the bus.
While Founder Matt George is interested in connecting Capitol Hill, K Street and Dupont Circle, it's not yet clear if those will be the neighborhoods Bridj starts with. The start-up is encouraging interested customers to request specific routes on its website
The contract for 110 XN40 buses contains a firm order for 52 buses with options for an additional 58 buses and is valued at approximately $53 million dollars.
Des Moines Area Regional Transit's 60-foot low floor articulated buses will replace high-floor buses and include newly installed ramps, remanufactured power trains, transmissions, engines and brakes. It will also be equipped with two ADA compliant wheelchair lifts.
The agency rolled out real-time data on MetroRapid and MetroRail last year, receiving strong positive feedback from customers.
