LinkedIn said it expected between $US415 million and $US420 million in sales for the final three months, lower than the $US438 million expected by analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Its full-year revenue estimates, although revised upward to $US1.5 billion, also fell slightly short of Wall Street's expectations.
Its shares slid to $US236, down 4.5 per cent, in choppy after-hours trading.
LinkedIn's dizzying valuation – it is trading at about 158 times forward earnings, compared with Facebook's 70 times and Google's 23 times – has heightened scrutiny on whether the company can maintain its growth streak.
So far, chief executive Jeff Weiner has consistently beat quarterly top-line targets since taking the company public in 2011 at $45 a share.
In the third quarter, the company earned 39¢ a share, excluding certain items, exceeding the 32¢ expected by analysts. Monthly users rose to 259 million during the quarter, a 38 per cent rise from a year ago, LinkedIn said.
By making itself a popular tool for professional recruiters and job seekers who are willing to pay for its services, the company has enjoyed a steady stream of income and avoided the turbulence encountered by free, consumer-facing social networks such as
But Mr Weiner has signalled in recent months that LinkedIn could eventually reach a saturation point among white-collar workers, particularly in the US, and has sought new sources of revenue growth.
LinkedIn in July introduced ads called sponsored updates to its mobile apps. Earlier this year it acquired Pulse, a popular news reader app, for less than $US100 million.
But the company's aggressive push into mobile has not been without bumps. Security experts this week criticised a new LinkedIn feature called "Intro" which re-routes a user's emails through LinkedIn's servers, as a potential security risk.

Fast-flowing and narrow glaciers have the potential to trigger massive changes in the Antarctic ice sheet and contribute to rapid ice-sheet decay and sea-level rise, a new study has found.
Research results published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveal in more detail than ever before how warming waters in the Southern Ocean are connected intimately with the movement of massive ice-sheets deep in the Antarctic interior.
"It has long been known that narrow glaciers on the edge of the Antarctica act as discrete arteries termed ice streams, draining the interior of the ice sheet," says Dr Chris Fogwill, an author of the study and an ARC Future Fellow with the UNSW Climate Change Research Centre.
"However, our results have confirmed recent observations suggesting that ocean warming can trigger increased flow of ice through these narrow corridors. This can cause inland sectors of the ice-sheet -- some larger than the state of Victoria -- to become thinner and flow faster."

BEIJING – Chinese President Xi Jinping's crackdown on corruption has sown so much fear that many officials are doing anything to stay out of trouble, from dithering over approving big projects to seeking early retirement.
A small number of top executives under investigation at state-owned enterprises have even committed suicide.
Officials said Tuesday that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Communist Party's internal watchdog, is investigating Tan Li, the vice governor of the southern province of Hainan, for corruption.
Tan was previously the propaganda chief of Chengdu, the capital of the province of Sichuan — one of the power bases of Zhou Yongkang, the former security chief and Politburo Standing Committee member who is at the center of rumors about a corruption probe. An investigation of Zhou would be the first time in decades that such a high-ranking figure has been targeted in a formal inquiry.
While the campaign has been a hit with a public usually skeptical about such crackdowns, it is having an unintended consequence, said bureaucratic sources and officials at state enterprises. Those who are supposed to implement much-needed economic reforms and run the machinery of government are dragging their feet because they are scared of attracting unwanted attention.
One reason for the fear is that Xi's 18-month-old campaign shows no sign of faltering. It claimed its biggest scalp so far last week when the government said it would court-martial a former top army general for taking bribes, the most senior officer ever felled in a Chinese graft probe.
Another is that with corruption so endemic in China — especially in government procurement, the energy and construction sectors, and the awarding of land-use and mining rights — many officials know they could be next.
"The anti-corruption campaign is having a big economic impact. Local officials are no longer keen to launch investment projects — they are lying low," said a government official in the eastern coastal province of Zhejiang, where Xi served as Communist Party boss from 2002 to 2007. "People thought it would be short-lived, just like the others."
Some sources said large projects were attracting increasing public scrutiny on the Internet in China, even if there was no suggestion of graft, prompting officials to be cautious. A number of projects have been shelved in the past year, for example, after ordinary Chinese raised environmental concerns.
To be sure, the anti-corruption campaign is not the only reason some officials are unproductive.
Policy implementation has often been a problem in China. Any policy that could erode local government influence and reduce revenues might also face resistance, a key issue because Xi has pledged to allow market forces to play a decisive role in the economy by scaling back government intervention.
While there are no data to show the crackdown is hurting the economy, Huachuang Securities in Beijing estimates a separate campaign against official extravagance may have knocked 0.4 of a percentage point off China's growth of 7.7 percent last year.
The party's anti-graft watchdog said in March that money spent on meetings and official overseas trips fell by about 53 percent and 39 percent from 2012. That campaign has worried firms that supply premium liquor, expensive watches and luxury cars, as well as high-end hotel chains.
None of the dozen bureaucrats and state company officials interviewed wanted to be identified because of the sensitivity of the anti-corruption drive. But they gave similar accounts that illustrated how deeply the campaign is reaching into the bureaucracy.
One civil servant in Beijing said officials in her office were recently asked to fill out forms detailing not only the value of their assets but where their children and other close relatives lived, to see if any were abroad. Xi's campaign has targeted "naked officials," whose spouses or children live overseas. Those officials are sometimes suspected of using such connections to illegally move assets.
"There is an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty," said the civil servant. "Nobody is willing to do anything that may attract unwanted attention. This means little gets done around the office at the moment."
Xi kicked off his crackdown when he took over the Communist Party in November 2012, partly to try to improve the image of the party and government, tainted by the enormous wealth amassed by some officials.
Nevertheless, despite a few pilot projects for low-level officials to disclose their assets, any public discussion of the wealth of senior leaders remains off limits.
Xi reportedly also is purging senior officials suspected of corruption to put his own men and reform-minded bureaucrats into key positions across the party, the government and the military.
About 30 senior officials at the provincial and ministerial level or above have been put under investigation for corruption since December 2012, the official Xinhua News Agency said on June 30.
That was having a chilling effect, some of the sources said, adding some officials are seeking to retire early to avoid attention.
"Don't get into trouble and get arrested — that's their mentality," said Niu Bokun, an economist at Huachuang Securities in Beijing.
As Xi's anti-graft campaign gathers pace, there have been suicides among some senior figures under investigation.
The official China Youth Daily reported in April that of 54 officials who died from "unnatural causes" between January 2013 and April 2014, more than 40 percent killed themselves. Eight jumped to their death from a building, the paper said.
Executives at state-run enterprises in China are usually referred to as officials.
Bai Zhongren, former president of China Railway Group, fell to his death in January, following a corruption probe into the now-defunct railway ministry. The former chairman of Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Sanjing Pharmaceutical Co., Liu Zhanbin, died in a similar manner in May while being investigated for corruption.
In an apparent sign that top leaders know bureaucrats are keeping their heads down, Premier Li Keqiang pounded the table during a meeting with provincial officials in May, blasting them for not "doing a stroke of work," state media reported.
The following month, the People's Daily — the party's mouthpiece — issued three front-page commentaries slamming local officials for their slackness and for "avoiding the limelight."
"Local officials have adopted a 'wait-and-see' approach as the anti-corruption campaign intensifies," said Nie Wen, an economist at Hwabao Trust in Shanghai. "It's having a big impact on the economy."

Stats corner: Alvarez in rarefied air among Pirates sluggers
The Pirates' offense has picked up the pace in June, scoring the sixth-most runs among National League clubs after ranking ninth in April and May. No player better exemplifies the team's progress at the plate than Pedro Alvarez.
The 26-year-old third baseman got off to a wretched start, slugging just four home runs in April while falling well short of the Mendoza Line. Alvarez has rediscovered his power stroke since, hitting six homers in May and 10 in June. In his first at-bat Saturday, Alvarez tied Cincinnati's Jay Bruce for the most homers this month.
Alvarez has boosted his fly ball rate each month, and he's driving the ball nearly 50 feet farther in June than he did in April:
Going airborne
Good things happen when Pedro Alvarez hits the ball in the air (through Friday):
Month Fly ball Pct. Avg. distance
April 29.3 256 feet
May 36.4 296 feet
June 40.7 304 feet
MLB avg. for 3B 33.6 267 feet
Source: Trumedia Networks, BaseballAnalytics.org
Alvarez is taking to the air so often because he's no longer rolling over against "soft" pitches — curveballs, sliders and changeups. He hit just 14 percent of breaking and off-speed stuff skyward in April. He raised that to 20 percent in May and 39 percent in June.
Alvarez's 19 homers lead NL third basemen and rank behind only Miguel Cabrera (24) among all major leaguers. If he keeps going deep at this pace, he will break the Pirates' single-season record for home runs by a third baseman, set by Frank Thomas (35) in 1958.

Life expectation at what age? A male expectation at birth of 38-40
years seems at the top end of the range suggested by most studies for
later centuries, while a female average of 53-55 surely can't represent
expectation of life at birth (life tables suggest a male average only
two or three years shorter than females').
JC Russell estimated expectation of life at birth at 35.3 years among
532 male English landholders born c1200-75, suggesting infant mortality
around a fifth (ie those dying in the first year of life). Wrigley &
Schofield found a similar average expectation for the English
population of both sexes in 1540-1700.
An average age at marriage of 14 and 17 seems even more extraordinary,
bearing in mind that an average must encompass all those who married at
a later age: such a low figure suggests that almost everyone who was
ever to marry did so within a few years of puberty.
Later estimates suggest an average nearer the mid twenties, and I doubt
that the age would have been a decade lower four centuries earlier,
though it has been suggested that the nobility married young because of
the pressing issue of inheritance.
I'd still be interested to know more about the source of your figures.
The place? Sample size? A large degree of regional variation is of
course to be expected, and there's precious little material for the
period, so any data would be welcome.

In my Mathematical Equivalence of Comics, I introduced a a two-page example for the typical European page, using Achille Talon as a base. I've now updated the previously untouched pages with a rough translation so we can see what he and the brush salesman were talking about.
For the uninitiated, Achille Talon is a fat man in a buttoncoat who's a pretentious blowhard who thinks he's more sophisticated than he really is. There's no subject too outrageous or mundane that he won't hesitate to ramble on at length at, regardless of whoever is unfortunate enough to listen. Usually, his dastardly neighbor Lefuneste (Bitterbug in English) is often the intended victim of his rants, of which he delights paying back whenever he gets the chance, which is often. He also has a tendency to spout nonsensical words, such as his trademark "Hop" and "Bof", which I've taken the liberty of converting to "Yup" and "Bah". These kind of sounds are prevalent in multiple BDs, and usually require some imaginative writing to find an English equivalent. They're similar to Anime characters using "no da" from Fushigi Yuugi, and "nyo" from the Digi Charat mascots.
The TVtropes page has the following description of the character from the author which goes as follows: "he knows everything and improvises the rest of it. Apart of this, he's generous, petty, pacifist, aggressive, progressist, bourgeois, selfless, jealous, intrepid and a bit of a coward. In sum, honest and brave just like you and me..." His style of speech was a big influence on my way of talking, even though I couldn't understand a word he was saying. I could get the underlying tones of what he was talking about and implement my own interpretations of what he might've been saying.
However, despite its cartoonyness, it's held back by the multiple wordplay and French puns that litter throughout a typical work. The names themselves are more complicated than a typical Asterix comic, where the main character's name mostly remains the same. Achille Talon is a pun on Achille's heel. Hilarion Lefuneste is hilariously fatal/disastrous, and also describes his glasses as well. Virgule de Guillemets (Magnesia) translates to Virgule of the commas. It suffers a bit from being too French, and while its strongest point are the one-two page gags, there are also album-length stories that are weaker in execution. It requires complete mastery of French to properly give an accurate version, and can't simply be done with a simple google-translate check. In fact, there was a comic where an accountant complained to Achille Talon that the translation fees for his comics were twice compared to the usual rate. (Thanks goes to LeChatVert to helping out with the translation.)
Commercial distribution of this comic has been less than stellar, given its uphill struggle to present an unknown property to the wider world. Only one book, Magnesia's Treasure was released in English. This sample from the anniversary shows a rare example of the typical wordplay that's so prevalent in the comic. Can you spot the differences?
There was an animated adaption of the character, but he bore so little resemblance to the actual comic that they might as well have been two totally different properties. It had as much in common as the movie Constantine did with the comic Hellblazer. If their likeness hadn't been used without permission, it could've been sued for copyright infringement. If I'm going to do any future English versions of this comic, they're likelier to be the shorter, more slapstick ones than the overly verbose ones that Achille is best known for.
You're on your own here. I'm not helping you with this one, save that the last word is "ME!"
This is a site devoted to casting a spotlight on those comics in the Sunday pages that for one reason or another, were never collected. Also, I'll be paying attention to other comics worthy of wider recognition.

The compost to be one part turfy loam, one part peat or leaf mould, and one part rotten horsedung.
The earth must be composed of one half common soil, one fourth leaf mould, and one fourth sand.
It will be found that the leaf mould will smoke and burn, and will diminish in amount, while the sand and clay will not.
Plant this in September, in a soil, composed of two thirds common earth, and one third leaf mould.
Examine the sand, clay and leaf mould, comparing them as to color; are they light or dark, are they moist or not?
leaf mould is splendid stuff, but it takes a long time for the leaves to get mouldy, and it takes a great many, too.
The soil should be a mixture of one-half good sandy loam, one-fourth leaf mould or muck that has been left out all winter.
Take some forty-eight size pots, and mix a quantity of leaf mould with a sixth proportion of road sand, not sifted fine.
They are redolent of the soil, of leaf mould, of the good brown earth.
If the soil is of a strong loamy nature, add some leaf mould or rotten dung to it, and mix it up well together.

VI. KO. 34. CHICAGO, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1900. PRICE, 5 CENTS WHAT THE NEWSPAPERS SAT. It is interesting to note with what general approval and path faction the local dailies received the notification that racing is to be resumed at Washington Park this year. So far the Chronicle, always generously broadminded in respect to racing, is the only one that has treated the matter editorially bnt, with the exception of the Becord, the others have in their Bporting columns shown a high measure of appreciation of the importance of the event. The Chronicle's editorial deserves reproduction and is as follows: "The people of Chicago and the northwest are to be congratulated on the announcement in The Chronicle that Washington Park race track will be re-opened for a summer season cf racing from June 23 to July 21, giving a full month of sport, excluding Sondayd. .except, in 1898 Washington Park track has not been open for six years. Some bogus and sensational reformers caused so much trouble two years ago that the park was not opened last year. There is reason to hope that the spurious moralists will have less to say this year in regard to the legitimate and wholesome sports of the turf. "Honest horse racing is one of the grand, humane f ports of civilization. It prevails in countries where there is the greatest amount of Christian culture. The noblest beast in the service of man enjoys as much as his owner the glorious rivalry of animal instinct, nerve and muscle. Those who call it an inhuman or cruel sport do not know what they are talking about, it is as pleasant to the horse as it is to the mac. "In the palmy days of Washington Park track the racing seasons were among the most notable events of the northwest. Derby Day was an anniversary of the highest brilliancy and inter est. The processioHS along Michigan boulevard to the park were the most splendid displays which Chicago society could furnish. The club house balcony and the interior lawn were resplendent with exhibitions cf taste and expense in dress, in turn-outs and personal show. On these occasions a greater number of beautiful, best dressed women could be seen than at any other function on the American continent. The racing seasons at Washington Park tiack should never be suspended. "The Washington Park traik racing see sons promoted business in all departments. The attractions and reduced railroad fares b "ought to Chicago all the well-to-do people of the northwest whose circumstances permitted them to leave home. The racirg season was the family ehoppng season for Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota. All the marts of trade were scenes of activity. Whether times ware good or bad, the shops were filled with city and rural customers. Racing seasons made 'fin-h times.1 "The influence of the successful racing seasons at Washington Park track extended through a ride radius. It was felt in the horse markets and in every stable and pasture throughout the northwest. It stimulated stock raising on all the farms and ranches. The high price of the best horses for the road and the track increased the price of horses for general aervic. The very best horses being withdrawn from labor on the roads and in the fields, the next best commanded a better price. All the interests of farming, travel and trade in this section of the country are made more valuable by popular and successful racing seasons at Washington Park race track.'7 The Times Herald says : "The announcement that the Washington Park Club will revive the American Derby and give a race meeting of twenty-five days was the most pleasant piece of news that turfmen and follower* of thorough breds have received for two years. Thsre was general satisfaction among sportsmen yester day, for the reason that the Washington Park racjs are high class and naturally bring better horses to Hawthorne and Harlem, "Washington Park officials set to work at once preparing blanks and notifications to turfmen that the big events are open. Chicago owners, who have been compelled to go east with big stables te find racing that would pay for the expense incurred, will be enabled to operate at home for at least part of the season. Some of them have already expressed an intention to start their horses at Washington Park. "The meeting this year will be held on exactly the same dates as those of the first meeting ever given by the club. The first American Derby — that won by Modesty— was run June 23, 1884. ■"'r.rbi^jtca Park has taken tho best racing dates of the season, but they were willingly given up by Hawthorne and Harlem for the sake of the sport. Five Saturdays and the Fourth of July will come within the time se lected for the meet it g. "In the twenty-five days that racing will be in progress at Washington Park the club will pay to owners nearly $150. CCO in pnrseB and stakes. There will be no meeting in the west to compare with it. end there will not bs the slightest difficulty in filling the stakes with high-class- horses. It was learned yesterday that many owners have been holding off from entering cleewhere in the hope that Washington Perk would open." The Inter Ocean, traditionally a friend to racing, gives much space to the event and among other things, Fays : "The official announcement of the revival of Derby day and a season cf twenty-five days' racing at Washington Park was received with joyous acclaim by all lovers and patrons f the sport of kings, not only ia Chicago, but the country over. It means that Chicago is once more to resume its position as the center of horse racing, and that the world's greatest jockeys, guiding the best to be hid in the way of horseflesh in royal contests for royal prizes, will be seen here. It means the coning again of that great fete day of the people — Derby day— with its cavalcades of gay and costly equipeges stretching the length of Grand boulevard, and the revival of the scenes cf beauty and brilliancy, wealth and happiness, that have so oftrn in the past, with a few re-gre: ted interruptions, been witnessed annually on one of Chicago's rare June days. Ia the beautiful grounds where the golf ball and the tennis net have afforded the chief excitement for two years will flash again the copper and gold of Daly, the black ard red of Baldwin, the all scarlet of th j Morrises, the blue-dotted white of the Keene'e, the Eton bine cf Whitney— all the colors of all the great stables. "While it will necessarily take time away from the other lecal tracks including ours," said Mr. Meier, "we are mightily pleased to learn that the Washington Park track is to be opened. We have always been friendly to the Washington Park club, and will willingly give up our dates to it. Indeed, on making our arrangements we always provide for the contingency of a meeting at the South Side track. "The meeting will help ns in many ways, to say nothing of the good it will do in improving the sport, in character and quantity. It will bring west all the good horses and batter the cause of the racing and, naturally, the breeding of horses in every respect. It will increase the popularity of the sport and increase the patronage in number and character. No one can bid heartier welcome to the revival of Derby day and the reopening of Washington Park than we do. I have been trying to sea Secret ary Howard to tell him how welcome the news is to ns. I have cabled it to Mr. Condon in London and know he will feel just as I do." "Frank McEvoy, manager of the Hawthorne track, was equally well pleased with the Washington Park declaration, and said it would do more in the interests of good racing than anything he could think of. So far as Hawthorne is concerned, there will be nothing left undone to help make the south side club's season one of great success. Dates will be willingly resigned. The understanding between the folks at Hawthorne and those at Harlem is an amicable one, and, although no time-about schedule Iies as yet bsen arranged, thsy will be equal sufferers in the loss of days fr jm the calenders they had figured on for their respective meetings. "Derby day alone is worth close to $1,000,000 to traders and merchants in Chicago," said a club man who is of a calculating turn of mind. "I do not think it is any exaggeration to say that in the way of traps and togs and one thing and another that pretty near that sum is spent on Derby day preparations alone. Why, I've begun making preparations already, and I know that I didn't get away from the post (talking Washington Park already, see?) as soon as a lot of others. Society and clubdom has not had a chance for several years now. They weren't sure two years ego, as matters were a little unsettled in 1898; bnt everything is certain and sure for 1900, and I'll miss guessicg that I am ready to back if Chicago does not cut-Chicago itself in its racing display this year, and especially on Derby day and other great stake days." Bespecting American Derby possibilities The Tribnne says: "Assurances have been given the Washington Park club that a large number of the beet stables in the country will come to Chicago to compete for the American Derby and other rich stake honors. The club lias caref ally canvassed the situation and everything now seems to point to one of the most successful race meetings held in Chicago in recent years. It is asserted a great field will go to the post in the American Derby. Some of the famous horees of the three-j ear-old division are asserted to be sure entries and a sullic-ient number of these will enter to make it a great race. "Tho hotelkeepers of Chicago have promised to pa. '-port the meeting, and one hotel proprietor yesterday said he was willing to put up $5,030 to boom the meeting. They figure a big race meeting will bring them enough patronage to amply repay any such expenditure. "Regarding the batting part of the races the club m-;kes no announcement and will take no cognizar.ee of it. It is (aid the ciab has received assurances that its meeting will be allowed to go on withont hindrance.'' The solitary discordant note is this item from the Becord : "John Hill, Jr., added a supplementary announcement yesterday to that issued TuaBday night by the directors of the Washington Park Club. He said he 'would see' what could be done about the race meeting of twenty-five days, with the revival of the American Derby, announced by the club directory. Mr. Hill in late years has stood the dark shadow in the path of the club whenever a discussion of racing took place among the members. 'Now, I am not ready to talk,' said Mr. Hill yesterday, 'but of course you know that I have no love for the Washington Park Club.' As to what measures, if any, Mr. Hill would take to interfere with the sport planned he refused to state, saying he knew only what had been announced in the newspapers. 'It is quite probable,' ha added, 'that I shall visit President Hamill of the clnb CONTINUED ON SECOND PAGE. GOSSIP OF THE TURF. A cablegram from London to yesterday's Tri bune, says: "John Condon, who, accompanied by his wife and valet, came to London six weeks ago for the purpose of being treated by Professor Steias, the electrical expert on blindness, leaves for the continent at the end of the week, where he expects to remain another mouth. "Condon's sigit is not improved, and the results of the treatment were unsatisfactory, Steins is undoubtedly a wizard in electricity, and insists he can restore Condon's sight if he is given sufficient time. Condon, however, is of the opinion that while Steins may eventually discover a sure remedy for blindness, at present he is still in the experimental stage. "Condon shows a remarkable lack of discouragement, and Bays, that while on the continent be will visit another scientist in the curing of blindness at Wiesbaden, and if he is still nn-helped he will return to Chicago and continue to transact business through his secretary's eyes, as he hi3 done in the last couple of years. "Though be can distinguish only lights and a few objects, Condon has taken in all the sights of London, including the Abbey, the bridge, tower and theaters. He declared he had de rived great pleasure from his visit." John Huffman is wintering a small but select string of thoroughbreds at his farm, near Greenville, 111. Mr. Huffman has a mile track on his place, where he prepares his horses for early racing. What er Lou, the minaer of tho St. Louis Inauguial of '98, received his "prep" for that event at the Huffman farm. Mr. Huffman has nine horses entered in the St. Loais stakes. Sligo, by Hanover, who formerly raced in Brewer Schorr's colorf. :s now in Huffman's stable. Huffman haB also secured Sir Bobsrt and 8ir KingBton, two three-year olds that were in Col. W. L. Cassidy's stable last season. The only juveniles Huffman has entered in the local stakes are Ellis Glenn, a bay filly, br Van Baren, and Bed Prince, a bay gelding by the same sir?, A list of the horses that Mr. Huffman -thought well enough of to enter in the local stake events will be found balow: Sligo, br. h, 6. by Hanover— Kity L. Found, b. m, 5, by Buckmieter— cick Do. Tnlla Fonso, b. f, 4, by Fonso— Talla Blackburn. Van Hoorebeeke. br. g. 4. by Van Baren— Ella Gilroy.

Bed Prince, b. «. 2, by Van Buren— Loyal Princess.— St. Louis Republic. The Westchester Bacing Association has leased a fine Btretch of ground on the outside of the track, to be used as a schooling ground for the steeplechasers. A steeplechase course has been laid out with all the regulation jumpB, water jump included, and now. instead of cutting up the track field in their practice gallops, the timber toppers will have a place of their own to thunder over to their hearts' content. This is surely a move in the right direction, and is bound to cause the jumpers to show to mora advantage than they do with the insufficient schooling which they receive over the regular courses. "Jack" Joyner's foar-year-old Autumn is one* of the most promising horses now stabled at Morris Park. Hia long rest laat season is not believed to have impaired his speed, and he bids fair to stand a preparation and fit in season for the Westchester spring meeting. An* tnmn's stable companion, Ethelbert, is also wintering well. Page [2] DAILY RACING FORI AND I BE AMER1GAR THRF COSGRESS RECORD. I38DED EVERY DAY. OFEICIAL ORGAN OF THE AMERICAN TURF CONGRESS.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
I am a retina surgeon and get asked this question frequently.
What can you do about the floaters? Well, floaters don't go away, and they don't really get worse. Over time they tend to "sink" out of your central vision and you brain "filters" them out so you don't notice them so much anymore. They almost never cause significant visual problems except, of course, if they cause a secondary retinal detachment as discussed above. The only way to decrease or remove the floaters is with a major surgery called a vitrectomy. As a retinal specialist for almost 2 decades I've only done this procedure to remove floaters in a handful of cases.
Here is a video of the actual surgery to remove floaters:
If your vision is OK I would not recommend taking the risks involved with vitrectomy surgery to remove your annoying floaters. That being said, I did surgery just last week for the sole purpose of getting rid of floaters, but this patient was hindered in her job (commercial airline pilot) by the floaters -- they sometimes looked like small aircraft coming at her from the side :(
Does this make sense to you?
I hope this information was helpful for you. But I do work for tips so I want to make sure you are happy with me before rating me. If you have another question on this or a related issue feel free to fire away. And please let me know if the rating system gives you any troubles. Thanks in advance, Dr. Rick
We have been experiencing problems with the chat system for the last few days. Our engineers are working on it. However, I'll switch over to the Q&A system. This system works a lot like 'text messaging' but an email is sent to each of us anytime something is posted to this thread. We can continue to work on your question there..... :)
Please I need answers to these questons:
What are the risks of vitrectomy?
I have read that they do vitrectomy in Europe with success; any comments?
What about laser? It is also being done in the USA
Thanks in advance
Thank you Dr. Rick for your answer
I have accidentally pressed on "Block answers from this expert or something similar" last night which I did not mean it. Please accept my apology. I do appreciate your answer but I thought vitrectomy or laser should be something easy nowadays for treating floaters considering other more serious eye
disorders are being treated safely (please see my other follow-up questions).
Thank you again
Thanks for your reply (It does make sense).
Any comment(s) on laser treatment? Please check out "VitreousFloatersSolutions.com" or 'EyeFloaters.com".
Thanks for your reply (It does make sense).


text: Our Verdict As brilliant in action as it is on paper, this is the best LG TV we've yet seen For Well balanced, neutral colours with Blu-ray superb contrast great detail and motion handling super-slim looks Against Sound is weak Reviewed on 21st June 2010 The problem with direct LED backlighting (aka full array), is that it can add loads of depth to a flatscreen. Not here. LG has managed to cram a full panel of locally dimming LED backlights into a chassis measuring just 3.5cm in depth. The fancy tech doesn't end there; LG's also managed to find space for a Freeview HD tuner, four HDMI inputs, two USB sockets, plus full network and internet connectivity. Smart looks and performanceIt's a nice-looking screen, with its seamless frame and touch-sensitive buttons that light sequentially when you press the on button. Throw in menus with big, colourful icons and you've got a unit that's nice to look at whatever you're doing. More after the break Looking at menus, though, will only distract you for a while – if at all. You'll soon be sending the '8900 a Blu-ray picture. And this is where it starts to impress. Pop in Inglourious Basterds and the LED backlighting quickly proves its value by showing the opening titles with bright white text and an inky black background. And it soon becomes clear this LG offers one of the most neutral and consistent colour palettes around – the mountains are vibrant and organic, while skin tones have vitality without ever being ruddy. Close-up shots prove the LG is also right at the top of the pile for overall definition. It revels in retrieving the finest details and imperfections, and, while the TruMotion 200Hz processing isn't quite as impressive as that of its leading peers, it's only a smidge behind. Continuing to impressSwitch to Precious on DVD and the LG continues to impress, offering up one of the sharpest and most detailed upscaled pictures we've seen for a good while. It looks a little richer in its colour balance here compared to its Blu-ray performance. However, although this means it's not quite neutral, it does stop short of looking overblown, so proves to be a very minor niggle. And if you want to watch actual TV, the '8900 demonstrates impressive stability and detail, even with poor quality broadcasts, while BBC HD looks absolutely stunning. (We'd turn the motion processor off for Freeview.) The only fly in the ointment is the sound – which is lightweight and indirect, even by flatscreen standards. For those who use separate speakers, though, the LG is a superb choice.

Past Reviews
Off Broadway Reviews
There are benefits and drawbacks to getting two shows for the price of one. This is currently being demonstrated at the Midtown International Theatre Festival, on the 18th floor of 307 West 36th Street in Smash Studios, where Penny-4-Eyes Rock N' Roll Show offers two wildly different performances at the same time. One is the show that's transpiring onstage. The other is the one going on in the audience.
At least at the performance I attended, it seemed as if there were no rules: There was flash photography; one middle-aged woman was making a conspicuous spectacle of herself, bopping controllably in her seat when she wasn't gabbing with a neighbor or gesticulating wildly at the stage; people speaking (full voice) in at least two different languages; and, of course, there was plenty of that obligatory high-voiced, wailing wooping following every song and punctuating - at apparently random intervals - most of them in the middle.
All this suggests not only a spiritless support for what's happening onstage, but a disregard and disrespect for the performers and other audience members. At most shows, this would be unthinkable; here, it's almost appropriate, if still a bit distasteful as far as those of us who appreciate and adhere to proper theatregoing etiquette. But why should those rules apply? This isn't a musical, but a 60-minute wisp of an MTV pilot gone terribly wrong.
With music and lyrics by Jesse Cooper and concept and book by Cooper and Scott Brush, Penny-4-Eyes Rock N' Roll Show is supposedly a public therapy session for a troubled young girl named Penny (Christiana Anbri), who wants to work out frustrations about her self-absorbed mother (Lucia Giannetta) at the behest of her therapist (Lady Altovise). So Penny treats us to the story of her life - basically, she tried to kill herself after her parents' divorce - interspersed with songs that convey her feelings with contemporary rock music (played by a five-piece band).
Or something. The fragmented non-story is hard enough to follow, but the sound design (by Bo Osborn and Amaury Marchena) is so loud in the confined Smash Studios that most of the lyrics are unintelligible (the dialogue is a little better). This was, apparently, intentional - earplugs are provided free with every program, and using them is a very wise idea; why the volume can't simply be turned down is never explained, but that's the kind of thing you're just not supposed to question at a rock musical.
A even more pertinent issue is the content. While there is undoubtedly some musical value to be found in adolescent angst, the therapy frame here prevents numbers from attaining any sort of emotional foothold; these are songs that are being performed for an audience, not connecting directly to anyone's emotions. Given the lyrics, that would be difficult in any event - the sentiments are usually vapid (the song titles tell the story: "Leave It All Behind Me," "Running On Empty," "I Wanna Live"), and they and the book don't particularize Penny as a girl worthy of our attention.
At least two performances impress: Giannetta wows with a Gibraltar-size rock voice which in cadence and forcefulness nearly transcends the over-amplified pop glop surrounding it; Altovise's calling card is her personality, a warm and winning entrée into an otherwise poorly defined character that makes her fun to watch even if most of Altovise's work seems like an audition for Motormouth Maybelle in a bus-and-truck tour of Hairspray.
Anbri, though, is another matter. She doesn't lack for spunk, though most of it emanates from her sky-high hairdo (courtesy of Marie Bove Salon) and makeup; the combination makes her look like an anemic cross between Tina Turner and Cyndi Lauper. But though Anbri is not inexperienced (her program bio lists credits like Annie and Les Miserables), her voice is not suited to this role's stratospheric demands; in the higher, beltier sustained passages (of which there are many), her voice sounds unsupported, unhealthy, and just flat-out weak. I can't say whether Anbri is damaging her voice (let alone her hearing) with this role; I hope not, but there were times I seriously questioned her ability to survive the performance.
The audience, though, was on autopilot; nothing was going to stop it from having a great time. But I couldn't help but wonder, during the enthusiastic final ovation, if anyone knew why they were applauding, or even if they'd been able to understand what had been said or sung for the previous 60 minutes; they gave little indication of that during the performance. Maybe that's an immaterial concern, but the two young women - Penny and Anbri - working themselves to death onstage deserve better, even if the show they're in does not.
