	Tunnel vision - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The same view with tunnel vision from retinitis pigmentosa.
		Tunnel vision is a visual problem or symptom of another problem which produces loss of peripheral vision, as illustrated.
		Tunnel vision is a metaphor for narrowmindedness, particularly in describing those who pursue an investigation with their conclusion already decided and proceed by only accepting evidence that supports their conclusion and excluding any evidence that contradicts their assumptions.
	en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Tunnel_vision (237 words)

	Vision Aids for Impaired Peripheral Vision or Tunnel Vision
		The loss is circular, hence the term: "tunnel vision" to describe the person’s remaining, functional vision.
		The person has visual acuity correctible to 20/40 or better and sees clearly using his or her "central vision." If best corrected acuity is 20/70 or poorer, the person should go to a “Low Vision Clinic” and request that both problems be addressed: (a) the reduced acuity … and then (b) the reduced visual fields.
		If binocular vision can be established, for both direct viewing and for seeing through two, centered, parallel tubular FX devices, then the person may retain functionally better visual acuity with the two eyes than with either eye alone.

	Egypt: Tour Egypt Monthly: Tunnel Vision, About the Great Pyramid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		As Mark explained, the basic problem with the classical explanation was that Ma'mun’s tunnel is rather too accurate for comfort, it tracks into the pyramid in a direct line for the all important junction between the descending and ascending passageways.
		It is often cited that Ma'mun had to turn the tunnel sharp left to discover the original passageways, a fact that Ralph and Mark had in the back of their minds when they first visited the Great Pyramid.
		The only practical solution was to force a new tunnel from the junction of the descending and ascending passageways, horizontally through the core blocks of the pyramid and into the open air.

		In some cases, the tunnels are elaborate; media reports indicate that some have wood paneling, electricity, lighting systems, air ducts, communications equipment, rails, wagons--even elevators.
		Some of the tunnels are meant for more than smuggling: In one report, Israeli engineers expressed concerns that the tunnels would be used to transport captured Israeli soldiers.
		Tunnels can also be used for complicated attacks against Israeli military targets.

	Tunnel Vision?: The Future Role of Tunnels in Transport Infrastructure - 13 January 1997 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Firstly, and most importantly, the many benefits offered by tunnels in terms of reduced disruption, avoidance of conflict with activities on the surface, protection of sensitive environmental or cultural sites, can simply not be taken into account in the cost-benefit appraisal used in transport schemes.
		Thirdly, the greater engineering uncertainties in predicting the cost of tunnels means that decisions are often made on a ‘worst-case’ assumption, which may well include contingencies of 50 per cent.
		The report also looks at other aspects of tunnelling, including that of safety, and the various factors which contribute to costs and which might be amenable to further reduction.

		The tunnel we used was built in 1940 and has a 10 foot wide by 6.5 foot high test section, which provides comfortable room for a motorcycle.
		The NRC wind tunnel uses a 2000 horsepower DC motor to generate the airflow that blows past the bike, which is mounted on a balance to measure drag.
		Wind tunnel testing is essential to optimize drag, downforce and lift for different racetracks, and the top teams put every car in the tunnel for aerodynamic fine tuning, done on the spot by sheet metal artists.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| Will the Channel Tunnel Rail Link restore our faith in the railways?
		As for the Channel Tunnel itself, when it eventually opened (late and with a reduced service) in June 1994, its cost had risen to £10bn from the original £6bn, after endless contractor and financial troubles.
		Today, the tunnel operation remains crippled by debt, while the train line leading to it has only lately (with the 2003 opening of the high-speed leg through Kent) ceased being a source of shame by comparison with the network on the French side.
		A further, and crucial, factor has been that some of the key players in the construction project, including Bechtel, have agreed, in effect, to take on a waiver if there are delays and cost overruns, paying some of the costs themselves: this has concentrated their own minds, and reassured their insurers.

		Planners say the tunnel is a large part of the solution to the problem of the nasty stuff that has backed up into area basements during heavy storms and caused untreated sewage to be dumped into local waterways.
		The tunnel is expected to be completed in four years, said Bill Graffin, a spokesman for the district.
		A number of those working on the crews also worked on the deep tunnel system, the 17-mile storage system that opened in late 1993, the cornerstone of a plan that was to be a virtual cure-all for the problems of sewage contamination of area waterways.

		Let's not spend billions on a tunnel or an entirely new viaduct when the present structure can be brought up to modern safety and seismic standards and be serviceable for many, many years.

		As the new tunnel through Beaucatcher Mountain neared completion in 1928, the prospect of expanding eastward toward Black Mountain excited local business leaders – especially the Board of Trade, whose mission was to promote Asheville's image as a modern, progressive, "New South" city.
		Instead, it smacks of the kind of cloned franchises found in almost any medium-sized town or city in the nation and is scarcely recognizable as a distinct urban place in the mountains.
		And if Asheville once again embraces that same tunnel vision, the prosperous 1990s may eventually come to be seen as yet another funeral decade for this city.
