Foreign concept
Somewhere, today it is tomorrow. Along the way, we'll meet in the middle for a baseball game.
With a mere 13 hours separating Red Sox fans from their team, daybreak is going to come with a different sense of urgency come Tuesday, when Boston opens the 2008 season against Oakland at the Eastern time of 6 a.m. Hot dog omelets, anyone?
It could be worse, of course. A's fans and West Coast transplants are due to find themselves in front of the TV at 3 a.m. On vacation in Hawaii? Midnight for you.
All in the name of globalization. Isn't it neat?
There's something intriguing about watching a professional sporting event at odd hours, a reminder of the allure of sports on a worldwide scale, one that doesn't bow in the name of tri-state area Nielsen boxes or the 405 rush hour delay. Breakfast at Wimbledon in the early weekend hours. The World Cup at dawn. Waking up and seeing who won the Olympic downhill 14 hours before NBC decides to air it.
This, though? This? It's absurd, powered by greed, and a corporate spit in the face to baseball's most loyal fans. It's barely even an acknowledgement of the A's fans, many of whom will have no realistic way to watch their team on Opening Day tomorrow/tonight.
"Is opening America's most beloved sports season far across the sea such a terrific idea?" asks the San Jose Mercury News' Mark Purdy. "The answer: Sure, if you agree that selling MLB merchandise in Japan is way more important than, at the most eagerly anticipated time of year, giving home fans a chance to see, you know, their home team."
As if you needed further proof of the international phenomenon that the Red Sox have become, look no further than the Tokyo Dome, where the Sox are the Harlem Globetrotters to the A's Washington Generals. The Olde Towne Team no longer, Boston has officially become the New World Franchise, its logo a familiar sight at any corner of the globe, synonymous with the Yankees and Manchester United.
Opening Day still means something in baseball, whether it's just the renewed excitement of another season coming to birth, or all that rites-of-spring, everyone-is-in-first-place cheese. It's possibly the one American sport where we invest so much emotion and preparation into a game that means little to nothing by the time the season is in full swing. (Unless you're of the mind that Gil Meche's brilliant Opening Day outing last April in Kansas City really slowed the Red Sox down on their way to winning the World Series.)
It's day in, day out. By the time the end of April hits us, Opening Day is but a non-factor.
But it's ours, and it's special. Or, at least, it used to be. No other sport opens its season with the pageantry of baseball, but that has been snatched away from us by the marketing arms of the game. They're playing the first two games of Major League Baseball -- OUR national pastime -- in the Far East in order to drum up more T-shirt, hat, and stuffed Wally sales. Japanese fans will wonder what a "Youkilis" is, and buy his jersey out of novelty. You may not see Opening Day. But there could be a schoolyard in Nagano where a child is fully decked out in Red Sox whites, and forking over his parents' cash to MLB.com so he can watch the games online. Ask MLB which one they care about more.
While it's not exactly a revelation that they would care more about promoting their game than your interrupted sleep schedule, the question is whether they should care to this degree, denying both sets of fans any viable means of enjoying Opening Day on somewhat normal terms. Tomorrow morning will certainly be a special moment for Daisuke Matzuaka and Japanese baseball fans, who will have the chance to see their native son start the 2008 season in their backyard.
Good for them. But forgive us if we aren't a little jealous. They've stolen one of the most special days for one of our country's favorite sports.
Yes, there will be an Opening Day in Oakland, and another in Boston, and nothing will probably feel any different than had they not played these two games overseas. But then, why not just the exhibitions? What do the Japanese fans care if these games count?
Red Sox fans do. A's fans do. And yet, they are the ones who are inconvenienced the most.
Of course, you'll still be up at 6 a.m. watching, whether it be at a local diner, pub (open early...even in Manhattan), or simply the kitchen, in between trying to pack the kids' lunches and making sure the dog doesn't have an avenue to the postman later in the day. Some of us will watch walking the treadmill. Others will listen on their commute into the city, balancing a level of frustration between that Subaru that cuts you off and Julio Lugo's at-bats. Fans will adjust to the baseball clock, no matter what. No matter when or where.
Opening Day is special for a different reason this year, when the crack of the bat will come before the crack of dawn. Dig up an old box of Cracker Jack Cereal and get ready to watch the first pitch from the World Champs.
Tomorrow morning. Today in Japan.

I agree completely. It is always a special moment when the first pitch of the new season is thrown. It is really a shame that we will be denied the opportunity to see it this year, especially since this is our first chance to cheer our re-crowned World Champions.
Shame on you John, Larry, Tom. As you so often remind us, this team belongs to the fans of Boston, you are only temporary custodians. It would be nice if that statement was more than worthless lip service.

If MLB is so anxious to promote itself overseas, why not host the All-Star game there? Then all fans of all teams are inconvenienced equally. Wouldn't that be more fair?

Actually for a one time thing, this feels pretty special to me.
The Red Sox never open at home anyway.

As a former member of the US military who spent 6 years living in Japan, I am sure there are a lot (100k plus) of service members/family members that are pretty excited to have the opportunity to go see a live MLB game or at least watch one on TV at a reasonable hour (since the stateside games start anywhere from midnight to 8am over there) and not overly concerned that you feel "inconvenienced".

From the amount of whining, you'd think the team had been shipped to Mars. Get over it. Learn to share. It's not as if that many hometown fans get to actually see the team at Fenway anyway -- all the tickets are taken up by out of town corporate hacks.

It's probably a good idea to have games in Japan as an acknowledgment to the home of Matsuzaka and Okajima -- but by that logic, we ought to have the next ten or so seasons open in the Dominican Republic.

Maybe Papelbon can give him a little high cheese to go with that whine...
To quote the great philosopher John Cleese:
"It's people like you what cause unrest!"
I think it's a neat thing, as long as they can work out the effects on the players from jet lag... What aboput all the people [like me] who work a 2nd-shift job and can't watch the beginning of 90% of the games? Do you care about us Mr. Wilbur?

I concur with Diver519...for we New Englanders on the flip side of the Great Wall here in Beijing, the idea that we could actually come home after work, put our feet up, and watch the game live rather than catching a couple of innings over breakfast or seeing the game on delay will be a real treat.

Opening Day is no less exciting this year than any other year...if anything, it's an even bigger production than usual. I always have to Tivo the game anyway, because it's usually on during the day while I'm at work (and this is how it is for most people). No different this year. People need to quit whining over this and get excited, THE SEASON STARTS IN LESS THAN 9 HOURS

The team might as well be shipped to mars, this is the BOSTON Redsox, call me crazy but maybe they should start the year in BOSTON?! Say what you want, but no one needs to learn how to share, the hometown team should open at home.

When I see Real Madrid v. Barcelona open up in the Meadowlands, I could possibly be alright with this. Then again Beckham sold out. All I know is that I will be sleeping.

I am a recent Boston transplant in San Diego and work from 6 am to 3 pm. I went to bed last night at 8 pm so I could wake up at 2:50 am in time to catch the game at 3 am. I wouldn't miss it (although I had to leave for work -- albeit a few minutes late -- after Manny's 2-run double in the top of the 10th). Thrilled they came back, hung on and won...and looking forward to the same routine tonight/tomorrow. GO SOX!!!

I think Opening Day today was a lot of fun, and I looked forward to it for days. A little inconvenient, but somehow it seemed special. In my opinion, what is a lot worse than this is MLB's desire to air the World Series games so late at night. I have great memories watching the games in the afternoon (sometimes even at school on a black and white TV set up in front of the classroom). Back then MLB cared about the kids

I think opening the season abroad is one of the best things that can happen to baseball; it's time we Americans stopped whining every time we (or our sports teams) set foot outside the comfort of American soil. Frankly, when we played a team as numbingly stupefying as the Kansas City Royals last year I couldn't have cared less. This year we play a good team in an exotic location--what could be more exciting? Rather than longing to teach others about our wonderful sport we as American sports fans decide to flaunt our fear of all that is foreign. As an American die-hard Red Sox fan living in Europe, I really couldn't have cared less when I had to stay up from 0200-0500 for 14, let alone 2, games last October. We can invite the world to participate in baseball while retaining our national superiority in the game (such as through an honorable Team USA performance, not like 2006) or we can keep it to ourselves and pretend we play it better.

The Ethics of Extreme Porn: Is Some Sex Wrong Even Among Consenting Adults?
A report on a roundtable discussion about one journalist's experience watching the sausage get made at Kink.com.
My personal opinion is that if everyone freely consents (and is an adult, of sound mind, etc etc) then people can do sexually to each other whatever they want. If they want to be degraded or pooped on and people want to do that to them, have at it. It isn't my business. Just don't poop on me please, it ain't my thing.
But others go into a full tizzy at the idea that consenting adults might be getting their jollies by engaging in some wholesome Bay Area BDSM. It's an affront to god! It cheapens all of us! Honestly, they sound like people who fight against gay marriage.
This is an interesting piece though. If you have thoughts about how our culture condemns sex between consenting kinky adults, but gives a pass to rapist priests, rapist athletes, prison rape and military rape, well, then you should read this.
The Ethics of Extreme Porn: Is Some Sex Wrong Even Among Consenting Adults? - Conor Friedersdorf - The Atlantic
My generation doesn't treat consent as a lodestar merely because consent permits pleasurable sexual activity that more traditional sexual codes would prohibit. The ethos of consent is regarded as a lodestar because its embrace is widely seen as an incredible improvement over much of human history; and because instances when the culture of consent is rejected are superlatively horrific. The average 30-something San Franciscan has had multiple friends confide to them about being raped, and multiple friends confide about participating in consensual BDSM. Only the former routinely plays out as extreme trauma that devastates the teller for decades. Little wonder that consent is treated as the preeminent ethos even by many who suspect that transgressive sex like what Witt describes is ultimately unwise or even immoral.
Let us imagine that, 50 years hence, we have a society where the ethos of consent and attendant norms of sexual conduct have triumphed so completely that rape is as rare as cannibalism. Everyone would regard that as a civilizational triumph. Would it be a bigger or smaller triumph of sexual mores than a culture where consent was valued exactly as much or little as it was in 1950, but BDSM and kink, extreme or tame, was so widely rejected as to render it as rare as cannibalism? That I'd strongly prefer the former triumph explains why I cannot agree with Alan Jacobs when he writes of the San Francisco pornographers, "I do not believe that it is possible to be more uncivilized than they are, though one might be equally uncivilized in different ways."
I think rapists are far more uncivilized, and that every champion of consent, however myopic they are about other moral norms they ought to follow, are trying to build "structures of thought and practice that harness humankind's sexual instincts and direct them in socially up-building ways." Consent isn't, after all, entirely separable from other widely accepted norms of civilized behavior. Taking it seriously means refusing to watch certain types of porn (the hidden up-skirt camera, for example); it means being forced to conceive of every potential sexual partner as an autonomous individual with inherent worth and desires so important that they frequently trump yours; it means, in at least that one respect, treating other people as you'd want to be treated.
None of that means one must approve of the acts described in the San Francisco basement. I happen to think it doesn't in fact threaten civilization, that transgressive sex cannot, by definition, become the norm. Others may differ, and I'm just guessing there; but it is to say that, whatever you think of the porn shoot, the scattered, unconsensual sex that went down in the Bay Area that night was more worthy of condemnation, more uncivilized, more destructive and less moral.

Welcome to Wednesday @ The Punch
Today in 1988 the Soviet Union signed an agreement pledging to remove their troops from Afghanistan.
Most commented
John A Neve says:
:Watching this film gives a good reason why we should never become involved in Afghanistan. Brutality breeds brutality and that country does not like invaders, it's children killed or it's homes destroyed.
Men in uniforms don't sit well over there, "they all look the same to me", the fear nad hate will be a long time dying.
John says:
This movie (The Beast of War 1988) is a work of fiction, I have no doubt that the Soviet were very brutal in 1981 but so were the mujahedeen. What they did to Soviet prisoners and so called Afghan traitors is too horrific to describe here. This movie try's to deal with the nature of war as it self and does it well. It does not attempt deal with the politics of the conflict.
Gordon Akman says:
Why is it called an 'open thread' if it is about something. I don't have time to watch movies, mayne.
Peter says:
What is it with the growing Australian culture of "banning things"? You can't read a news paper today without someone suggesting we BAN stuff. I reckon over time we'll be worse than China. What do you reckon guys? Should we BAN the thread because someone might say something we don't like? Ban this Ban that, im bloody sick of it..

just got back from my local gamestop where i finished paying off my pre-order for L.A. Noire. went in and saw them rolling up posters and the guy asked me if i wanted one( they had a good amount of them) and so i said yea. put down 5 bucks on the 360 version and got the poster. one side is the teaser cover image that is shown up all over of the shadowed soldier with call of duty MW3 on the side of him in a white background. the other side is a time magazine cover showing some of the damage to new york. also has headlines about the russian president and his daughter, gen. shepard's funeral, damage to the east coast, and talks of tension in the UN and all over europe. also at the top it talks about interpol putting soap and price at the top of the wanted list. it's really cool so i'd suggest you go on down to your local gamestop and put down a pre-order if you haven't already and grab yourself a pretty cool poster. the poster is pretty big though so make sure you have space for it. lol :)
want a poster? get your pre-order on

"Bizonbaai" Bizonbaai by egonwegh
Bizonbaai Travel Guide: 5 reviews and 12 photos
The Bizonbaai (also spelled Bisonbaai) is a well-known nudist beach near Nijmegen. These pictures of fully clothed family members were taken in winter time.
A lot of tall stories (pun intended!) are being told about this place: the owner of the land, a farmer, supposedly earned a small fortune by asking entrance fees. No entrance fee is required nowadays...
That same farmer also lets his cows graze the meadows surrounding the beach. It is said that every now and then a cow dozes off and drowns in the water, but the farmer never removes the cadavers! (I think this must be some sort of urban legend intended to make people feel guilty about visiting this spot ...)
A prehistoric artefact dating back to the Stone Age, 2800 BC, was found under water back in the 1960s (Numaga 1965, p. 74) so apparently even our ancestors occassionally took a day off to visit this beach ...
Our local newspaper De Gelderlander - where would we be without it? - tells us the Bizonbaai is also one of only two places in the Netherlands where a subspecies of a plant called chaerophyllum ( I think it was "chaerophyllum aureum") can be found.
Opposite the footpath that leads to the beach lies Oortjeshekken, a small hotel and restaurant.
- In a nutshell:There's more to it than meets the eye ...

Yea, we're done here, hopefully. When were still blaming "the moronic left wing" for ...whatever, and the final defense of good ole Georgie is "Zimmerman was doing what I would expect from a Neighborhood Watch member...watching" (Really?? That's all he was doing?? No shooting, homicide, whatever? Thanks be to God). Yea, we're done. (memo to GD: No. Can't afford the trip from Pgh this year. Last time I was at RTNDA was Vegas in '08, and that was because of the Election coverage and I had a hand in a Murrow Award regional nomination. {We lost}. If you or others here go--I'm happy for you!!...Write back when you can...) |

So Trayvon "jumped out of the bushes"? At least that's the story we keep hearing. Because it's George Zimmerman's story. There is no other side, because there were no witnesses and Zimmerman killed the only other person who knows what happened. How convenient. The racist far right continues to try to assassinate someone who is already dead. Another theory to make Martin look like a thug who deserved to die. He may have been on his way to make "lean". He may not. In either case, he was walking home from a store after buying two perfectly legal products and did not deserve to be killed. The image that affected me most in this case was the tarp covered body of Trayvon. I don't see how anyone can look at that and not feel horrible at what happened and how Zimmerman got away with it. |

The only reason you continue to think Zimmerman "got away" with something is because you...like your left wing brethren...refuse acknowledge the truth of the incident. In fact...contrary to your assertion...there WAS an eye witness at trial, Jonathan Good, who placed Martin on top of Zimmerman and with that came de facto corroboration of Zimmerman's version of events. What is it in the left wing psyche that refuses to accept that? |

2oldcruztwit There were no bushes, Zimmerman lied. Zimmerman claimed to be looking for an address as his excuse for leaving his vehicle, something he was told he shouldn't do. If you watch the police video the day after of Zimmerman lying, er, telling his side of the story, you'll see him walking right by a house with a number on it that he passed before getting to the point of the encounter. Inconsistencies and lies. It's clear the prosecution and the Georgie fan juror allowed a murderer go free. |

The more you post about this, cruiser, the more you reveal how scanty your knowledge and understanding of crime, law, trials, evidence, testimony, jury responsibilities and the judicial system really is. However, you have inadvertently given us all a novel idea for getting kicked off a jury: In voir dire, make every answer political. What type of cereal are you having for breakfast? Are corn flakes right-wing, Cocoa Puffs and Trix (the cereals of color) left-wing? Given the various local, state and federal Grahams over the years, where do Golden Grahams stand? Cap'n Crunch -- left or right? Coffee: That's a cup of leftism for sure. But if I brew up this stuff from Cafe du Monde, is it a left-wing beverage because of Landrieu or a right-wing beverage because of Jindal? Hmm .... [mp, it's almost in my backyard -- won't need a room -- so I can't pass it up. Definitely will report back!] |

There are many versions being circulated by the left but few...if ANY...contain the facts presented at trial and corroborated by an eyewitness. But then, the far left ALWAYS thinks it knows better than anyone else, regardless of the facts. To them facts don't matter anyhow...only the media-hyped left wing narrative. They're like pit bulls...dumb as a box of rocks but aggressive and stubborn. |

A much needed break... TALLAHASSEE (The Borowitz Report)—Opponents of Florida's Stand Your Ground law are attempting to mobilize support for a new law called Don't Shoot Me for Absolutely No Reason. The proposed law, which faces major opposition in the Florida legislature, would make it illegal for people in the state to shoot each other for no reason whatsoever. "Under the provisions of Don't Shoot Me for Absolutely No Reason, you will be required to have an actual reason for shooting someone," said a spokesman for the measure, Harland Dorrinson. "This will be a first in Florida." The controversial bill has already drawn the ire of the National Rifle Association, which issued a statement today saying that requiring someone to have a reason to shoot another person would violate the Second Amendment. "If you force someone to have a reason to shoot someone, soon you will be taking away his right to shoot that person altogether," the N.R.A. said. "We are not in principle against the idea of having a reason to shoot someone," the N.R.A. continued. "But we believe you should be allowed to shoot the person first and have the reason second." Even if Don't Shoot Me for Absolutely No Reason somehow passes in the legislature, Florida Gov. Rick Scott said today that he would veto it, telling reporters, "Making people in Florida have a reason to shoot each other would fundamentally change our way of life." |

Ok, planning out a 4 week cycle of PP at:
At the end im planning on taking Nolva/Retain/Fenu.
Will these three be enough for proper PCT?
I dont need an AI do I?
How important would a natural test booster like powerfull be?
How do I go about my Retain dosing? I've heard 3 capsED for the whole PCT and also heard tapering 3/2/2/1 by week
Last cycle I ran was Xmass, just used Nolva. So I've never used Fenugreek before, how many mg per day would u recommend and how much does it aid in getting my libido back ASAP from the cycle? How much are my loads going to smell and taste like pancakes? G/f is going to have a rough couple weeks towards the end of cycle/beginnong of PCT i think

Jennifer Love Hewitt's outburst has been getting support from her peers.
Hewitt berated the media on her website for criticizing her bikini pictures. She says she is content with her figure but the unflattering comments she received will put young girls under more pressure to diet.
Actress Rosario Dawson expresses her agreement to People.com. "They'll make a whole story about it if someone gains five pounds," the Sin City star says. "I think there is a huge obsession with size-zero jeans, and it's just really scary. It makes me really nervous, because I don't know how in the world we're supposed to be that thin unless we're totally starving and drugging up."
The Devil Wears Prada star Anne Hathaway adds, "I don't think women should only be defined by their bodies and their weight. It's a cycle we've been in for some time, and I really don't like it."
Even model Petra Nemcova has her say, "There are different angles that everybody, even if you're in great shape, can look bad in a photograph. And printing these images is definitely influencing people's minds - the stars themselves, but also the people who are reading and looking at the images, the teenagers. It's definitely good that she spoke out."

Lire is a pluggable log analyzer. It has analyzers for over 25 log file formats, ranging from Apache WWW log files to iptables firewall logs and CUPS printing logs. Reports are generated in 9 different output formats, ranging from Excel 95 to PDF to HTML, optionally with included graphs.
SWISH stands for Simple Web Indexing System for Humans. With it you can index directories of files and search the generated indexes. Based on EIT's swish, this is a cleaner-compiling, enhanced version with better docs, better installation and configuration tools, more sample configurations, and a Web page to help manage index rebuilding. SWISH is used with w4ais as a Web-based front end.
w4ais is a gateway between a forms-capable Web browser and an indexing/search program, based on the old EIT wwwwais program. This new version is tested completely with swish 1.2 and above, and should still work with freeWAIS. This version allows easy and thorough customization of the search page look and feel, and includes help and various utilities to install and configure multiple interfaces for various users or sites on a single system.
The Internet Gopher Client is based on the UMN Gopher/Gopherd 2.3.1 code. Gopher is an Internet technology that predates the Web. It presents information as a virtual network-wide filesystem. Modern browsers such as Konqueror can display gopherspace as if it contained files on your local machine (trees, drag and drop, etc.), but the difference is that each file or folder in that tree may be on a different machine.

Since LBP Vita was pushed up for release in stores, I was curious as to whether or not the codes for the pre-order incentive would be as well... I just pre-ordered the game right before I purchased it in store so I would get the code,but as of yet I have not gotten an e-mail or a code on my receipt. I pre-ordered and bought the game yesterday September 20th. Everything went as it normally does return the pre-order and put it towards the game etc...
Any constructive comments/ help are appreciated!
Thank you,
Matt (Emby25)

Its easier to get preorder bonus codes by calling customer support and asking for the gaming department.
They can usually get you your code if they haven't run out in less than 30 minutes.
Its faster than waiting for the email
I was wondering the same, when will these codes be mailed out?
Hello all,
I'm sorry for not getting to this earlier. We tried to do some quick planning to get you your codes when you picked up your preorders for this title but the release date lift threw some of that off. However, since the "old" release date has since come and gone now (9/25) you should all be seeing your codes arrive via email now!
If for some reason you have not received your code and it has been over a day since you picked up your pre-order, feel free to send us the following information via private message to our Gaming-BBY inbox:
Message Subject: Game Title & Platform
Message Body: Include...
• Proof of purchase (Customer Service PIN from in-store receipt or BestBuy.com order #)
• Email address (the one you provided for the code)
We will then be able to investigate why you may not have received your code or why the one you received did not work and get back to you as quickly as possible.
Please note that any unsolicited private messages sent to Moderators for this issue will be forwarded the Gaming-BBY inbox in an effort to assist everyone promptly and in the proper order. Also, sending multiple messages does not increase response time.

The billionaire golfer will soon be a mere millionaire. He may be a cheater, but can we officially consider Elin a gold digger?
- Mean Betty, BettyConfidential.com
Well, well, well. It's appears as if the Tiger Woods "marathon" divorce proceedings are coming to a close. RadarOnline.com is reporting that Elin stands to walk away from her six-year marriage to the "sex addict" with a cool $750 million … or to put it another way, three-quarters of Tiger's estimated $1 billion fortune.
Now, Mean Betty is not fan of cheaters, especially when they betray not only their wives but their children … but, honestly pets, does that seem fair?
Tiger Woods, reprehensible though we may find his private life to be, worked his entire life to become the sports success he is today. It was a life full of an amount of dedication and sacrifice most of us can only imagine (personally, Mean Betty finds keeping perfectly manicured and highlighted taxing enough!) - and Tiger earned that money, fair and square, by working his you-know-what off.
Read: Mean Betty: Did The Situation Forget His Girdle?
Yes, Elin is the mother of his children, and of course they are entitled to a full share of their daddy's fortune … but six years? Three-quarters? Tell Mean Betty, dears, why is that reasonable?
Now, some of the divorce details make perfect sense to Mean Betty, primarily this little item: The Sun claims that Romeo Woods will only be able to introduce his children to a new woman if the two have married. Smart move on Elin's part, considering Tiger's taste in hookers girlfriends. No porn stars in the playroom, got that, Tiger?
In exchange, we are to be cruelly deprived of any juicy details from Elin, as she can reportedly never publicly speak out about Woods's affairs -- in any medium. The Sun's source claims, "The price of the huge sum is her silence: no interviews, tell-all books, or TV appearances about this for the rest of her life - even if Tiger dies first - or she'll lose the lot."
Both those items actually sound like what's in the best interest of the children, so Mean Betty gives her stamp of approval. But Elin Woods, dear, just what exactly did you do to earn $750 million in six years?

A previous blog drew attention to Glial (or Muller) cells that conduct light from the surface of the eye's retina to the photoreceptor cells. These cells provide a low-scattering passage for light from the retinal surface to the photoreceptor cells, thus acting as optical fibres. Their function was reported to "mediate the image transfer through the vertebrate retina with minimal distortion and low loss". New research in this area has increased knowledge of their functionality after constructing a light-guiding model of the retina outside the fovea. As a result, the "retina is revealed as an optimal structure designed for improving the sharpness of images".
Schematic of Muller cells funnelling light (source here)
These specialised cells do this in two ways: filtering out stray light and reducing colour dispersion. Stray light is a form of noise, so that the objects of interest are seen less clearly. It is found that the glial cells improve the signal-to-noise ration as light passes through them.
"The simulations showed that the Muller cells transmit a greater proportion of the former to the rods and cones below, while the latter tends to leak out. This suggests the cells act as light filters, keeping images clear. The researchers also found that light that had leaked out of one Muller cell was unlikely to be taken up by a neighbour, because the surrounding nerve cells help disperse it. What's more, the intrinsic optical properties of Muller cells seemed to be tuned to visible light, leaking wavelengths outside and on the edges of the visible spectrum to a greater extent."
The second mechanism relates to colour vision. "Just as light separates in a prism, the lenses in our eyes separate different colours, causing some frequencies to be out of focus at the retina". However, the glial cells have a diameter that is wider at the surface of the retina than at the cone photoreceptor at its base. The optical fibre structure of these cells brings significant improvements.
"Another notable result is that parafoveal color vision is less affected by chromatic aberrations. The longitudinal chromatic aberration spans the focal spot along the retina, where blue focuses before red. Thus both colors cannot be focused simultaneously on the cones. But with glial light guiding the configuration changes: Regardless of the volume of the focal spot, set by chromatic and monochromatic aberrations, the incidence angles are still within our analysis range of a few degrees. That means that they will still be guided by the same glial cell and lead to the same cone."
According to the report in New Scientist, these findings open up potentially fruitful areas for biomimetic research. "The new understanding of the role of Muller cells might find applications in more successful eye transplants and better camera designs, says Ribak." The human eye, which is already a remarkable example of functional engineering, continues to yield more evidences of exquisite design. All the more surprising, then, that Darwinians are persisting in their view that the eye should be listed among evolution's biggest "mistakes". An Editorial in New Scientist reaffirms the validity of this claim:
"Sure, sending light through Muller cells enhances vision, but that is not an argument for choosing to put the wiring in front of the sensors. It still creates a blind spot, where the nerves dive through the light-sensitive cells on their way to the brain. It would make much more sense to put Muller-like cells in front of the sensors, with the wiring behind. Rather than provide evidence in support of intelligent design, the new work is actually yet another example of evolution's extraordinary ability to create workaround solutions to problems arising from earlier iterations. Kenneth Miller, a biologist at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, and an untiring veteran of the creation-evolution wars, calls the Muller cells "a retrofit: a successful and highly functional adaptation made necessary by the original architecture of the retina, but a retrofit". The eye's structure, and the blind spot in particular, bears the unmistakable fingerprints of Darwinian evolution."
What we are seeing here fits what Thomas Kuhn called "normal science" in action. Darwinists never predicted the function performed by Muller cells, but once they were recognised, they are dubbed a "retrofit", with credit given to the amazing powers of mutation and natural selection (without any valid supporting evidence). This strategy is to Darwinism what epicycles were to the Ptolemaic cosmology. Actually, Kenneth Miller is retrofitting glial cells into the Darwinian model of the eye's evolution. He has to do this in order to save the theory in which so much intellectual capital is invested. But like the financial markets of today, crises will ensue. Just as commercial markets could not sustain high levels of debt indefinitely, so also Darwinism: they have borrowed excessively in order to sustain mutation and natural selection as viable mechanisms. When people look for substance, they find peppered moths and bird beaks. When they look carefuly, they find exquisite design - not tinkering evolution. All the Darwinists have left to defend their case is the blind spot - that is all that keeps them from the conclusion of optimal design.
Retinal Glial Cells Enhance Human Vision Acuity
A. M. Labin and E. N. Ribak
Physical Review Letters, 104, 158102 (April 2010) [4 pages] | DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.104.158102
Abstract: We construct a light-guiding model of the retina outside the fovea, in which an array of glial (Muller) cells permeates the depth of the retina down to the photoreceptors. Based on measured refractive indices, we propagate light to obtain a significant increase of the intensity at the photoreceptors. For pupils up to 6 mm width, the coupling between neighboring cells is only a few percent. Low cross talk over the whole visible spectrum also explains the insensitivity to chromatic aberrations of the eye. The retina is revealed as an optimal structure designed for improving the sharpness of images.

ITA with MW - I hate letting a babe go hungry, but in this case it may be absolutely necessary. Lesser of evils. Thanks for sharing with us about Ava - I know it isn't easy to do, but I'm glad to hear where you're at with her diagnsosis and treatment. FX she stays very healthy this winter and can wait until spring for the next surgery (then she'll be bigger and likely will be able to go a bit a longer between feedings as well- double plus!)
Carrie - trust your gut! - at least he didn't try to get you to switch to an expensive formula or something. Every breastfed baby I know ends up at least supplemented with formula when they get a reflux diagnosis. Hope the Zantac helps and Finn can be in a happier, more comfortable phase.
AFM: appointment went fine yesterday; heartbeat is good - I think she's lower than the doctor expected because he tried to listen closer to my belly button and he had to adjust several times. Had a cervical check (I know they are sort of pointless, but I was curious, since I can't seem to make sense of anything down there) - and I'm 2 cm, barely starting to efface (very thick he said), but cervix is anterior and he could feel the baby's head easily through the cervix.
For me, other than the barely effaced part, this is all good news, because with Gabe, even at 42 weeks when I went into be induced, I wasn't even at a 2. the MW never could get her finger through my cervix. (and doc did, easily) and I'm 39 weeks. also, he felt her head, and Gabe nearly always was floating or very close to it. so she seems to be able to engage properly and apply pressure to my cervix, which I don't think Gabe could, because he wasn't in a good position.
So all in all, I'll take it, and keep focusing. Mantra is "dilate, efface, and descend" I'm also taking the advice of one of the DDC people and just trying to relax and not spend/waste a bunch of energy walking and bouncing and doing things to bring on labor (outside the realm of normal things I'd do anyway). I am trying to have faith that it will start on its own (the active bit), and I will definitely know when it's happening, so I need to save my energy for the important things!
Looking forward to this weekend . . . I'm so ready to be done working! come on baby!

NHL Trade Rumors: Could the Philadelphia Flyers Target New York's Mark Streit?
By Mike in Philly ,
As most hockey fans already know, Chris Pronger will not be playing for the remainder of the season, and will most likely miss the playoffs as well. Even if Pronger can somehow get healthy before the playoffs, it's safe to say that the Flyers aren't going to sit around and wait. They need to make a move, and they know it.
Since the news that Pronger would be shut down for the season broke, there's been tons of speculation as to who the Flyers might try to acquire in his place. After all, it's just a matter of time before they snatch somebody up.
The most popular among Philly fans seems to be Nashville's Shea Weber, who most feel would be the perfect fit to replace Pronger now and for the future. While I'm sure the Flyers are considering it, it remains to be seen whether or not the Predators are even willing to move him. He's a restricted free agent at season's end, so there's no guarantee that he even signs with Philly after the season. On top of that, he'll likely command a hefty salary, something the Flyers will have a tough time figuring out.
That said, plenty of other names that have popped up in recent weeks. One of the more intriguing names is that of Mark Streit, defenseman for the New York Islanders.
Mark Streit may not be one of the "bigger name" defenseman most Philly fans want to see, but his talents are sorely underrated. He's been one of the better defenseman in the league for a few years now, yet his name often seems to fly under the radar. Most of that can probably be contributed to the team he plays for, as the New York Islanders haven't exactly been a playoff contender in recent years.
Personally, I believe Streit would be a great fit in Philly. He's a tough, physical defenseman who can still put up points. He won't light the lamp every night, but he's a great set-up guy and he's got a great shot. If he played for a more offensively aggressive team like the Flyers, his numbers would surely rise.
Do you think Mark Streit would be a good fit in Philadelphia?
Right now, Mark has two goals and 14 assists on the season, which may not be all that impressive, but he's a guy that Philly fans would love to see. He'd instantly become a fan favorite in my opinion, and he would fit well with Philadelphia.
Quite possibly the biggest challenge for Philly would be fitting him and his $4.1 million salary under the cap for the next two seasons. They could get some cap relief by placing Chris Pronger on LTIR, but they may still have to move salary elsewhere.
Another thing to note is his age. He's 34 and he isn't getting any younger. Are the Flyers looking for a more long-term solution? Or are they sticking to their "win now" game plan? It remains to be seen.
New York would be a great trade partner with Philadelphia, as they could certainly use more scoring power, something the Flyers have an abundance of. The Flyers may not have to give up an arm and a leg to acquire Streit, so they wouldn't have to tear apart the roster.
So what do you guys think? Would Mark Streit be a welcomed addition to the Flyers?
