...what is this tiny tome that provokes such big reactions? It is a parable that can be read in 45 minutes by a multi-tasking minion. There are two "Littlepeople" and two mice. All of them live in a maze. For a time, they have an abundance of cheese to eat (i.e., whatever they want in life). One day, though, the cheese disappears. The mice (Sniff and Scurry) instinctively understand that the paradigm has shifted--they need to adapt and look for cheese in a different place. So they do, and they find New Cheese. The humans are more resistant...
...permitting, in order to curtail private divers from entering the damaged area and flipping and moving corals. Those divers may believe they are doing good but such movement may actually further damage the reef and inhibit government restoration efforts. Sponges should be left to recover alone; but damaged brain, maze, great star and other hard corals will have to be cemented in placed at their old location. Such hard corals are so sensitive and take decades to grow back, at a rate of a few centimeters a year...

...just the Maze that is causing old grievances to resurface in Northern Ireland. The Consultative Group on the Past, a government-appointed body tasked with examining how to deal with the legacy of the Troubles, is expected to deliver its much-anticipated final report within weeks. The group will likely recommend a Truth Commission-style body to examine unsolved killings committed during Northern Ireland's 30-year conflict. That tortuous process, plus the Maze's post-conflict makeover, could mean that Northern Ireland's contested past and the passions it kindled are about to resurface again. This time, though...
