It's been many years in the making, and today I'm excited to announce the launch of Mathematica Online: a version of Mathematica that operates completely in the cloud—and is accessible just through any modern web browser.
In the past, using Mathematica has always involved first installing software on your computer. But as of today that's no longer true. Instead, all you have to do is point a web browser at Mathematica Online, then log in, and immediately you can start to use Mathematica—with zero configuration.
Here's what it looks like:
This year, Wolfram is excited to be sponsoring the tenth anniversary of the annual Pygmalion Music Festival, which takes place in our hometown of Champaign–Urbana. If you aren't familiar with Pygmalion, it's a music festival held locally that brings together incredible musical artists, authors, and vendors in one amazing weekend. Of course, the music is always the focus, and to really get behind that, we've got a great way to interact with fans of both math and music.
We're bringing back our Alpha Albums contest with new song lyrics (collected in collaboration with LyricFind) from some of the bands that will be featured at this year's festival! What that means is that we take albums from the artists, enter a word cloud query request in Wolfram|Alpha for that album, and post the generated image in a tweet. From there, all you loyal fans will have one hour to submit your guesses via Twitter in an @-reply; at the end of the submission period, we will choose a random winner from the correct entries.

I have always seen the beauty of chemistry from a scientific standpoint: strange shapes, eye-catching patterns, giant explosions… But it was not until I came to Wolfram|Alpha that I began to appreciate just how sleek chemistry is from a programming perspective. Just a few lines of code are needed to create some of the most startling phenomena and give life to elegant theories. More »
In today's blog post, we will use some of the new features of the Wolfram Language, such as language processing, geometric regions, map-making capabilities, and deploying forms to analyze and visualize the distribution of beer breweries and whiskey distilleries in the US. In particular, we want to answer the core question: for which fraction of the US is the nearest brewery further away than the nearest distillery?
Disclaimer: you may read, carry out, and modify inputs in this blog post independent of your age. Hands-on taste tests might require a certain minimal legal age (check your countries' and states' laws).
We start by importing two images from Wikipedia to set the theme; later we will use them on maps. More »
Every four years for more than a century there's been an International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) held somewhere in the world. In 1900 it was where David Hilbert announced his famous collection of math problems—and it's remained the top single periodic gathering for the world's research mathematicians.
This year the ICM is in Seoul, and I'm going to it today. I went to the ICM once before—in Kyoto in 1990. Mathematica was only two years old then, and mathematicians were just getting used to it. Plenty already used it extensively—but at the ICM there were also quite a few who said, "I do pure mathematics. How can Mathematica possibly help me?"

supermassive black hole
Odd Black Hole Is Last Survivor of Its Galaxy
The Hubble space telescope has spotted a supermassive black hole floating on the outskirts of a large galaxy. The location is odd since black holes of this size generally form in the centers of galaxies, not their edges. This suggests that the black hole is the lone survivor of a now-disintegrated dwarf galaxy.
Black Hole Eats Asteroids, Burps Out X-Rays
The supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy may be constantly snacking on asteroids. A new study finds that an asteroid at least 12 miles wide falling into the black hole would account for the regular bright x-ray flares seen through telescopes.
Hubble Reveals Chaotic Heart of Milky Way in Infrared
Peer into the mysterious heart of our galaxy's center. Typically obscured by gas and dust, the central Milky Way is revealed in this new image taken by the Hubble space telescope.
Astronomers Weigh Heaviest Black Hole Yet
SEATTLE — The black hole in the nearby galaxy M87 weighs in at 6.6 billion suns, making it the local universe's heavyweight champ. "This is the biggest black hole in the nearby universe," said astronomer Karl Gebhardt of the University of Texas at Austin in a press conference today here at the American Astronomical Society […]
Baby Galaxy Hosts Monster Black Hole
SEATTLE — A tiny galaxy has been caught with a monstrously huge black hole at its center. The galactic oddity could be a transition case between young, small galaxies and stately spirals like our Milky Way, and suggests that galaxies grow around central black holes, not the other way around. Most large galaxies, including the […]
Galactic Smashups Leave Giant Black Holes Hungry
Colliding galaxies don't shake up enough food to feed enormous black holes lurking in their centers. A new study suggests that less violent events, like gravitational disturbances within the galaxy, are probably black holes' primary source of fuel. Almost every galaxy is centered on a supermassive black hole hundreds of millions of times more massive […]
Hyperfast Star Kicked Out of Milky Way
New Hubble observations suggest a dramatic origin story for one of the fastest stars ever detected, involving a tragic encounter with a black hole, a lost companion and swift exile from the galaxy. The star, HE 0437-5439, is one of just 16 so-called hypervelocity stars, all of which were thought to come from the center […]
Black Hole Found in Unexpected Place
Detailed Hubble images reveal a single supermassive black hole wandering away from its host galaxy's center where it belongs. The misplaced black hole is probably the result of a merger between two smaller black holes, but could also have been pushed by a jet of matter extending from the galaxy's core. Nearly every galaxy has […]

Classical Education
GUESTS: Victor Davis Hanson Author: Who Killed Homer? , [The Free Press, 1998] Professor of Greek, California State University Fresno Mary Lefkowitz Author: Not Out of Africa , [Basic Books, 1997] Professor of Classics, Wellesley College With a declining interest in ancient studies at universities, Classicists are worried that the ideas of traditional Western culture are being lost. The values of ancient Greece and Rome were once thought to provide the core of Western learning in language, ethics, philosophy and art. But many students on today's multicultural campuses find that Greek studies are dated and guilty of elitism, sexism and oppression. Join guest host Neal Conan for a look at the classics' place in modern education ...on the next Talk of the Nation, from NPR News

India's start-up scene has caught the attention of none other than Google (GOOGL).
According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Google Capital, a division of the U.S. search giant that invests in mid-stage companies, has decided to hire a partner to focus on India. The move marks the first expansion by the fund outside the U.S. Google Ventures, which invests in early stage companies, set up an office in London recently to focus on Europe
Why India? There are lots and lots and lots of people surfing the Internet. In fact, Google Capital partner David Lawee told the WSJ that with a population of 1.2 billion, India recently surpassed the U.S. in terms of Internet users.
Lawee said the company is in the process of hiring the partner, but is not sure when he or she will be on board, or which city in India they will be based in.
Google isn't alone in its desire to profit from India's growing Internet use. Alibaba (BABA) is looking to invest more in India. The country's largest e-commerce company, Flipkart announced in July it had raised $1 billion in new funding from Tiger Global Management, Singapore sovereign-wealth fund GIC and Morgan Stanley Investment Management. Amazon.com (AMZN) is investing $2 billion to expand its operations in India.
Russian search-engine Yandex isn't going to let Google take away more eyeballs without a good fight.
Yandex (YNDX) has asked Russia's anti-monopoly regulator to investigate how Google (GOOG) search is bundled as the default in the Android operating system, TechCrunch reports. Yandex shares were up 6.5% to $17.72 in U.S. trading as the ruble strengthens against the dollar. Google shares are up 0.2% today.
Last fall, analysts at JPMorgan pointed to data showing Yandex search traffic share in Russia declined to 59.5% in November 2014 from 60.1% in Oct 2014 and 61.1% in June 2014. JPMorgan assigned the decline to the then-recent release of a new version of Google's Chrome browser, "which automatically replaces user's search preferences with the Google search engine following the browser update."
JPMorgan has an overweight rating on Yandex, but changed its price target Tuesday to $24 from $45 and lowered its earnings estimate by nearly 1% for the current fiscal year, and down nearly 24% for the next fiscal year.
JPMorgan also lowered its U.S. target and estimates on Russian wireless telecom VimpelCom (VIP) to $5 from $7; the stock was recently trading at $5.25. JPMorgan lowered its VimpelCom earnings estimate by nearly 8% for the current fiscal year, and lowered its EPS estimate by 74% for the coming fiscal year.
Citing the deteriorating economy in Russia, Deutsche Bank reduced estimates for Russian internet company Yandex.
Analyst Lloyd Walmsley and team slashed fourth quarter and 2015 estimates for Yandex (YNDX) "despite solid search trends in the third quarter. They write:
Weak macro has been compounded by geopolitical turmoil, sanctions, slower growth globally, weakening foreign exchange, and falling energy prices. We trim our 2015 revenue growth outlook to 19% year over year (from 23% previously). We see downside risk to estimates on weakening oil prices but view this as increasingly priced in for Yandex. Two things should mitigate downside risk to shares:
- ad tech improvements that could unlock more budget
- headlines/potential for global Internet players, and Google (GOOG) in particular, to pull back in Russia as we approach the 2016 deadline for local data storage … leading to share gains for Yandex.
Deutsche estimates that Google generates less than $500 million in revenue in Russia, or 0.6% of gross revenue (vs. $1.3 billion for Yandex text-based ad revs in 2015). Walmsley doesn't think this will be a "near-term catalyst, but as the compliance deadline in mid-2016 approaches, we expect this to increasingly become a focus among investors."
U.S.-traded shares of Yandex are up 1.2% to $26.72 in recent trading. Deutsche's price target is $29, implying upside of 9%.
The potential push out of Google Glass has made more than a few investors nervous about Himax Technologies (HIMX). But Northland Capital Markets analyst Tom Sepenzis argues that those worries are masking other opportunities for the company's LCOS display business to flourish,.
The stock surged last year on news that the Himax would be the supplier to Google Glass. But worries of a push out until next year in Google's (GOOG) Internet-connected headgear sent Himax shares falling 27% over the last month.
But Sepenzis has raised his earnings estimates for 2015, and now forecasts per-share profit of 91 cents, compared to his previous estimate of 84 cents. He writes:
While much has been made about the potential push-out beyond calendar 2014 at Google with its Glass product, there is no confirmation of this supposition by Google, which has remained silent regarding its introduction plans. The recent partnership with Luxottica seems to suggest more marketing, manufacturing and distribution capabilities for the product, not less, which should help Himax looking down the road.
Sepenzis also points out that regardless of what happens with the Google Glass announcement, "there have been significant announcements in regards to virtual reality heads-up displays in recent weeks. He writes:
This includes the Facebook purchase of Oculus VR, the Microsoft purchase of VR patents and Sony's unveiling of its Morpheus headset. Additionally, it appears that a large Chinese Internet company is about to unveil a virtual shopping product that could ship this year. LCOS Estimates – We are ncreasingly comfortable with our estimates for LCOS displays, especially as most of the products being developed outside of Google are binocular, and require two displays, not one. Most of the shift in our 2015 estimates involves increased LCOS unit assumptions – we are moving from 4 million units to 6.5 million.
Himax rose 4.8% Tuesday to close at $11.35.

The play also adds a slight twist to the classic rendition. "The play will bring a more modern style to a traditional story" said Koppel. "For instance, Tybalt and Mercutio have their big fight over a stolen laptop in the parking lot of Safeway. Also, Juliet dies when she is hit by a car driven by a road-raging Romeo."

Barrow thug, 33, pinned mother against radiator in Kendal
Last updated at 09:36, Tuesday, 25 September 2012
AFTER assaulting his mum, swiping at a police officer with a plank of wood and threatening a cleaner with his own sweeping brush, a repeat offender has moved to Barrow in a bid to sort his life out.
Shaun Davis, of Egerton Court, Barrow, appeared at Furness Magistrates' Court yesterday to be sentenced for the offences of assault by beating, possessing an offensive weapon and common assault.
The 33-year-old pleaded guilty to all three charges last month.
Mrs Lisa Hine, prosecuting, told the court the offences happened in Kendal while Davis was living with his grandmother.
The first two happened on March 18 when the defendant and his mum, Dorothy Davis, got into an argument.
Davis ended up pinning his mother up against a radiator before leaving his grandmother's home.
Police found him outside, brandishing a large plank of wood, which was part of a banister.
He then tried to run away but, after he was caught, tried to hit the officer with the plank.
The third offence happened on May 8 at Davis' GP practice in Kendal.The court heard James Clarkson, a cleaner at the surgery, was a friend of Davis' girlfriend's ex boyfriend, and the two men knew each other by sight.
Mr Clarkson was at work when he heard someone say "oi", and became aware of someone stood uncomfortably close behind him smelling of alcohol. Mrs Hine said: "He was intimidated and scared and said his legs went like jelly."
Davis put his hand in front of Mr Clarkson's face, swore and told him he was going to kill him. He then grabbed hold of the cleaner's brush and told him he was going to knock him out.
Miss Jackie Partington, defending, said all Davis' offences happened at a time when he had a problem with alcohol.
She said Davis' mother admitted going round to where he was living, and provoking him – pushing him, grabbing his T-shirt and calling him "an absolute disgrace".
Of the incident with the police, she said, he had not approached the officer with the plank of wood, having in fact run away. He was so drunk he had been unable to make contact when swinging the weapon.
Of the incident in the medical practice, Miss Partington said, Davis said Mr Clarkson had called him an offensive name.
He had deliberately moved away from "old associates" in Kendal to start a new life in Barrow, she added.
Davis was sentenced to 84 days in prison, suspended for 12 months. He was ordered to pay £100 compensation to his mother, £100 to Mr Clarkson and £100 court costs.
Presiding magistrate, Dr Raj Rathi, said: "You have escaped an immediate custodial sentence by a whisker."

TD-Complete Submission
What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.14 / 5.00 4,549 ViewsBecause sports isn't the center of the universe. Well, not for me anyway.
Pretty enjoyable
I myself never really figured out what was so great about sports either. It guess it doesn't help that I'm bad at sports in general and it's hard for me to really work with a team. I will say that I am a fan of soccer which you happen to mention as well. The animation was alright in this one (not that it really matters to me) and it's funny to hear about Germaine's fetishes. Nudity can improve a lot of things, although there are nudist soccer games that do have shoes on, but I don't think they're used to kick groins. All in all, this was as good as any other of your work.

Pitch used for 1st semifinal was not ideal for T20: ICC CEO Last Updated : 06 Oct 2012 12:57:11 PM IST File Photo ICC CEO Dave Richardson on Saturday admitted that the strip used for the first semi-final between Sri Lanka and Pakistan was not "ideal" for T20 cricket but mentioned that pitch preparation is a difficult task in the prevailing climatic conditions in the Island nation.
Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram had also criticised the pitch at the Premadasa Stadium.
"Ideally, we need to ensure that a pitch doesn't change its condition from one innings to next one. Yes, the pitch used in the first semi-final wasn't an ideal wicket for T20 format as there was too much assistance to spinners," former South African wicketkeeper Richardson admitted on the eve of the final between Sri Lanka and the West Indies.
While Akram had accused Sri Lanka of trying to prepare a wicket that suits their spinners, Richardson tried to defend the curator saying that conditions were same for both teams.
"There was advantage for both the teams and Sri Lankan spinners took better advantage of the situation. Having said that, I spoke to the curator and he said that wicket was too dry to his liking. You have to accept that in this climate where it is so hot, to prepare a wicket is incredibly difficult," Richardson said, sounding a bit defensive.
The CEO did admit that BCCI's reluctance to accept the Decision Review System (DRS) is stopping them from introducing it uniformally but ruled out a chance in trying to force world's richest cricket body into accepting technology.
"Look, I believe in having discussions when someone sits across the table voluntarily. ICC can't run with a stick and coax them into accept technology. As of now, they have some in-principle problems in accepting the DRS and don't look like thinking any differently. What we now plan to do is to show them the improvements that we have had regarding the Ball-Tracking and Hot Spot technologies," Richardson told news agency.
As the discussion veered towards why India doesn't have an umpire in the ICC Elite Panel, Richardson said situation may change since BCCI has started doing its bit on that front.
"Earlier, the BCCI was happy to see that the umpiring aspect was taken care on its own but of late they have introduced some strong steps. They have started some performance related pathways for the umpires which means if they do well, they would be elevated to the next level. I am sure the efforts will bear fruit," he said.Post Your Comment (0 posted): - Watch Sunny Leone, Poonam celebrating Holi

It's the best but Low reward points I think the app can get more downloads if they increase the reward points a bit
User reviews
GOOD APP BUT STILL NEEDS FIXING A fun app been using it for a few weeks and lets u get a dollar now an then for your PayPal but their were some problems idk if their a limit on how much you can earn for day because once you start earning a lot of 5 points and start reaching limit they lower it to 3 points then if you keep going their will be time when u will stop earning. Like I'm ok if they lower point but at least let me earn something a point .Also if it keeps not giving the person points then app need bugs fix pronto .
WARNING!!! Referral: tdcole92 for bonus points starting up BE AWARE!: if you passed this from online glitches for money making apps and they tell you to use a code its ONLY so they make extra points off of you. YOU WILL ONLY GET 90 POINTS! but... Best way to earn extra bucks the fastest. Same rate as others but the different maker is the ways to earn make it way more fluent. It's just going to take time to get there and some dedication to the app to rack up. Also the only app I tried that's been instant redeem.
Great Awesome app... only down fall is they drop you to +3 points and newer apps are +10... when you upload your videos to it for people to award you with points...it's all in luck of draw... sometimes a video you upload is very funny and they say it inappropriate, then when you go to Newest videos, you will see the same video that you tried to upload, but its in someone else's name... thats another downside

Hair removal can be tricky, especially if the hair is somehow connected directly to your skin through some nefarious prank of nature. Vanquish skin vandalism with this Groupon.
The Deal
- $59 for two women's Brazilian waxes (a $118 value)
The Pretty Kitty
According to Tricia Hetherington, founder of The Pretty Kitty, the perfect Brazilian wax requires a specific technique that she's developed herself. That's why she personally trains each one of her aestheticians—no simple task, considering that she operates locations in California, Nevada, Texas, and New Jersey—to remove hair using soft wax formulated for sensitive skin. The process takes fewer than 15 minutes, and frees clients to wear the skimpiest of swimsuits and lingerie.
A chandelier casts a glow over the pink-toned interior of the newly opened Montclair location, where a wall stencil depicts a feline casting a sidelong glance. Within treatment rooms, aestheticians wax men's and women's bodies, leaving behind smooth, clean expanses of skin. Hygiene is of the utmost importance to The Pretty Kitty's specialists, who never double dip waxing sticks, reuse wax, or procure it from Madame Tussaud's castoff sculptures.
96% of 95 customers recommend

Can I overwinter this begonia?
I guess the first question is, is this a begonia? You can see it between the pink impatiens and the yellow-green coleus. From Sept 27 2009
I received it as a tiny plant in the spring and it has been a show stopper all year. It's so healthy looking, even after our first light frost, that I am starting to think I wan't to save it, but I have no idea how. Can any one offer detailed directions? Please keep in mind that I have NO houseplant ability or experience. Do I repot it? Feed it? Not feed it? What kind of soil do I use? I do have a south facing window, would that be appropriate it? If anyone can offer suggestions, I would be grateful for the help. Thanks!
Well, the flowers look like some kind of semperflorens begonia (wax begonia). You can winter it over by placing it in a sunny warm location or under lights. Let it dry some between watering. You can also take cuttings and start those for more plants (they root easily). Use a quality potting mix and you should be okay. A lot of potting soil has some slow release fertilizer in it and that should be fine to start with.
One thing I noticed on some semperfloren begonias indoors is they might get powdery mildew. This usually occurs in damp, cool conditions so if you can eliminate that you should be okay. If you can't then you might have to spray with some kind of fungicide (Neem oil is one option).
Once you move them back outdoors for summer they regain their beauty once again.
Here is my extra large blooming semp.
You don't have to cut it back at all but most times that encourages new growth and you get a chance to make new plants for a bit of insurance in case the mother plant dies (it has happened to me many times).
You don't have to feed it in winter as generally they need a rest. If it is actively growing then a slow release might be helpful.
Just clean it up when you bring it indoors - remove sick, old leaves, litter, look it over for pests, etc.
Where abouts should you cut to promote new growth?
My begonias, will post picture tomorrow, are planted in a huge planter with ground cover (didn't know at the time)completely over growing my begonias and spider plantlets. I live in Texas and this week is suppose to be in the mid 70's. Should I just leave them outside or should I dig them up and plant indoors?
My grandma gardens everyday, she told me the begonias will die and to just buy new ones next year. I would rather overwinter them but not sure what i should do?
Are they semps? If so, you can cut them back fairly hard. I have not cut any back to ground level but have cut them to an inch or two. You may be able to grow them outdoors year round depending on how cold it gets there (I had the one shown above come back after last winter). For insurance you can root the cut tops and grow them indoors for winter.
I'm with your grandmother when it comes to some begonias - treat them as annuals. If your begonias are hard to come by, then try to save them if you can. If they are common then compost them and buy new ones the next year.
Hcmcdole, here are a couple photos of my Begonias. Do they look like Semps? Let me know what you think I can do. And if I should prune it, where would be best? All the way to the soil?
I have them in a big pot with 2 spider plant babies (planted early spring '09)and ground cover that is taking over the whole pot!
Also this next photo is of begonias in my pool courtyard. Just thought I'd show. Too beautiful!
Yes, those are semps (short for semperflorens (always flowering) aka wax or fibrous rooted begonias).
I would cut them back to the first node or two but not all the way to the ground unless you want to take a chance. You should save a few tops (trim these kind of short too) and root them for a bit of insurance. Usually the tops will make a better plant in the long run.
Here is a pot of semps I saved from last year via cuttings. They looked like crap all winter but once moved back outdoors they regained their health and beauty. Of course the other begonias around them make them look kind of small.

Adobe today released for ">a new version of its ubiquitous Flash Player. Version 10 adds a number of new features including dynamic streaming that varies the bitrate of a video depending on network conditions. Very cool for those that want to be able to stream higher quality content to high-bandwidth users but still want to be able to deliver to those with less-than-stellar connections. Brightcove 3 (announced yesterday) supports this and I look forward to testing it out with some of our Network World videos. More importantly though, I hope the new version fixes some recent stability issues that have recently been plaguing my system and others: On Firefox 3, Flash videos become unresponsive after a while. The page will load, the Flash object containing the video will load, but press play and nothing will happen. Closing the tab doesn't help, the whole browser needs to be shutdown and restarted. Could be a Firefox issue too, but firefox_answers on Twitter claimed the issue was fixed in Flash 10RC (release candidate). I didn't want to install a beta product since I deal with a lot of with Flash-based applications for work, but now that Flash 10 is officially out I've got it installed. Fingers crossed that the intermittent crash (for lack of a better word) issue is gone.
Flash 10 is out - hoping it fixes stability issues
