The New England Patriots took care of the Houston Texans yesterday with little resistance, winning the game 41-28. Brandon Spikes was quite happy when the Patriots recovered a fumble and decided to let everyone know. His wave style first down signal pretty much made my day. Can't wait for that Ravens vs. Pats game next Sunday. #BradyIsASurgeon Check out our Home Page for more stories and follow us on Twitter and Facebook

With time winding down in the first half, it looked like the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys basketball was in trouble.
But a couple of late buckets in the first half gave the team some momentum that it carried into the third quarter.
Los Alamos trailed the Capital Jaguars by as many as 9 points with about a minute and a half remaining before the break, but Los Alamos, which felt going into Friday night's game it could outrun the Jaguars up and down the floor, got its fast break offense going from that point on.
Hilltopper Skyler Veenis scored in transition with only about a second left in the half and Los Alamos dropped in 8 fast-break points in the third quarter, which swung the tide of the contest.
Los Alamos would hold on to win late, earning a 40-38 victory at Griffith Gymnasium for its first win of the District 2-4A season.
That long-awaited win snapped a 13-game losing streak for the Hilltoppers (2-19 overall, 1-3 in 2-4A).
Since the start of district, Los Alamos has had some close calls. It hung with Bernalillo through most of their Jan. 22 meeting before the Spartans pulled away at the end, then was victimized by cold shooting late in both its games against Santa Fe and district-leading Española Valley.
The Hilltoppers have been hungry for a positive outcome, but finally found it Friday.

the setting was beautiful- overlooking a large tidal bay with mountain and water views. you can walk downstairs to a rather secluded beach that you can use to walk to town even during high tide. the room had a large private balcony with panoramic bay view.
the room was large, with a 5 channel tv and tea and coffee provided, fridge.
service at breakfast is very slow. one day towels were not exchanged by housekeeping. didn't receive a wakeup call that was scheduled. can't rely on their service.

Wow, the Ford Explorer sure has changed. No longer a truck-based sport utility vehicle, the Explorer rides comfortably and is generously sized, with noticeable roominess.
Inside, the 2013 Explorer can be stocked with high-tech features, including a navigation system offering the most fuel-efficient route to your destination.
For 2013, the Explorer also has more safety features than ever and earned a top, five-out-of-five stars in federal government crash testing. And, with an optional, turbocharged four-cylinder engine helping the 2013 Explorer earn a government rating of 20 miles per gallon in city driving and 28 mpg on the highway, the Explorer ranks as the best large-sized SUV in highway fuel economy.
Pricing is on par with large SUVs that offer three rows of seats.
The seven-passenger, 2013 Explorer has a starting retail price of $31,995 (with destination charge) for a front-wheel drive model with 290-horsepower V-6 and automatic transmission. The 2013 Explorer with the fuel-efficient, turbocharged four cylinder costs about a thousand dollars more, and the turbo four is available only on front-wheel drive Explorers.
Competing SUVs include the 2013 Honda Pilot, which has a starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $30,350 for a front-wheel drive model with 250-horsepower V-6 and seating for up to eight. All-wheel drive 2013 Pilots start at $31,950.
Another competitor is the 2013 Dodge Durango, which has a starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $30,490 with rear-wheel drive and 290-horsepower V-6. All-wheel drive 2013 Durangos start at $32,690.
Note the Pilot is available with V-6 only, while the Durango is offered with choice of V-6 or 360-horsepower V-8.
No V-8 is offered for the Explorer any more. But a new-for-2013 Explorer Sport, with price starting at $41,675, gets the 365-horsepower, turbocharged V-6 that's in the performance Ford Taurus SHO sedan.
In 2000, the Explorer was the top-selling SUV in the United States, with annual sales of 400,000 or more. But highly publicized rollover crashes and questions about the Explorer's Firestone tires hammered sales, and competitors proliferated and benefited over the years.
Through 11 months of calendar 2012, for example, Explorer sales totaled 146,963.
Still, buyers wanting a competitively priced, roomy, domestically built SUV that's can pack in the safety and convenience features of a sedan will find much to like in the 2013 Explorer.
The Explorer now uses a more car-like platform for a nicer ride. It's the same one used in Ford's Flex crossover SUV, and it gave the test Explorer a compliant ride over road bumps and a bit of cushioned ride over sharp humps on an off-road trail.
Yes, the Explorer still is offered with a drive system for all four wheels, and the test Explorer, a Limited model that topped out at just over $47,000, included the easy-to-operate terrain management knob with settings for driving in snow, mud and sand.

Customer Reviews of Iomega 1TB MiniMax Hard Drive - Dual Interface (USB 2.0 & FireWire 400) External Hard Drive
Great form factor5/11/2009
I really like this drive, and the reason is because of the form factor and design. Most drives are so clunky and awkward sitting on a desk and this isn't at all. I'm actually hoping to buy 2 or 3 of these and daisy chain them. This isn't the lowest price for a 1TB that you can find, but it's well worth it to me for the way that it's designed. If I had a Mac mini, it would go right on top of this drive, which is just very sweet. Love it.
Works with Airport Express4/25/2009
Form: MiniMax is one or only that comes in a 1TB size that can be stacked with a Mac Mini or in my case the Airport Extreme. I have seen enclosures but you have to buy an EIDE drive which limits you to only 500GB. The MiniMax fits very nicely and instructions are clear that the drive should not be on top of your Airport Extreme. Usefulness: I plugged the drive into my Airport Extreme so all the PC's on my network can access it (Yes I said PC's and not Mac). The drive is formatted to work with the Airport Extreme which supports Fat32 or Journal (MAC Format). If you have an Airport Extreme and would like to create an inexpensive 1TB network storage this is not a bad combo especially since this combo cost 320 dollars compared to 500 for the 1TB Time Capsule from Apple. Plus if I have a problem with my drive I can send it to Iomega and not be out a router. Performance: I never plugged it into a computer so I couldn't tell you much about the performance. I am sure it will be decent since I am able to transfer 12-20 MB per second on a gigabit network.
Just sweet!3/12/2009
I got this drive yesterday for my Mac Mini (2009). When it mounted, Time Machine immediately recognized it. I read in other reviews that there was a blue light on this drive, but that's not true. The Iomega "I" in the front center of the drive lights up white when power is turned on. It also flashes along with disk activity. It remains on when the mac is put to sleep. After setting up 3 partitions (EyeTV, iTunes, Time Machine) this drive was set.
iomega 1T so far excellent11/29/2008
I have had the new 1T iomaga external hardrive for about 2.5 weeks an so far it is grate. I read a lot of the review for the 500GB iomaga and most people where saying that it was noisy and it ran to hot. I am glad to say that my new 1T iomaga runs very quite not noisy at all and it does not get very hot. I put my hand on top of the drive in it is look worm. This drive was easy to set up and I ran Time Machine the first day I got it. I say one of the best thing about the drive is that it runs quite. That a lone is a blessing.
Works just fine7/31/2008
It's definitely cute, although a tad pricey. Seems to work just fine - I'm using on a PC (had to format first since it comes with mac formatting) until I can afford a mac. My only dissatisfaction is with the finish on the top. It's a bit squishy and came out of the unopened box pretty scratched up. I actually had to exchange the first one I received because it was so scratched and and had so many fingerprints all over it that I thought someone had opened it and used it (and tossed it around??) already. Now it's fine and sitting pretty on my desk. Takes up very little space and seems nice and fast plugged into a firewire port.

We've been a military family twice over. When Sam and I were married at 20 and 19, he was in the Marines. After 4 years, multiple deployments that totaled nearly 2 1/2 years, and a deployment mid-war to Iraq, he decided not to reenlist, and we spent 5 years as civilians.
We learned after he left just a few of the opportunities that were available for veterans and active duty. Companies like Direct Energy offer discounts and rewards plans for military members on their electricity and/or natural gas, telephone companies offer discounts, many appliance stores have a standing percentage off. With no kids at the time and both of us working full time, we didn't think much about that. Then we had a baby, one income, and horrible insurance to deal with.
After Bella was about 10 months old, he told me he wanted to go back. This time the Army – more family friendly which was better for us. He spent 4 months away in training and came home to move us to El Paso.

Is absolute secularity conceivable?posted by Simon During
Is absolute secularity conceivable? The question arises from the paradoxical intuition that the secularization thesis is simultaneously both right and muddled. Perhaps the most fundamental problem with the broader secularization thesis (which I take to claim that, over the past half-millennium or so, Western society has undergone a systemic diminution of religious practice) is that it isn't clear what the non-secular is. After all, it can be extended from those beliefs and practices that avowedly depend on religious revelation to those that affirm some form of transcendentalism, though they may make no room for God as such. But for a long time both radical atheists and Christian apologists have argued that what looks as if it is secular through and through may not, in fact, be secular at all.

On the freedom of the concepts of religion and beliefposted by Yvonne Sherwood
This short piece attempts to come at the current debate on law and religious freedom from two unusual angles. I end by looking at the strange and revealing positioning of "religion or belief" in current legislation in England and Wales. And I begin by putting a different spin on religious freedom by exploring the terrifying freedom of the concepts of religion and belief. We have never needed the rise of Al Qaeda, so-called Islamicism or a hardline religious right to terrify us with a resurgent specter of specifically religious (as opposed to purely "political") "terror." Instead of bearing down on us like some old specter of the Turk or Moor at Europe's gates, the terror of religion emerges—or insurges (if "insurge" can be made into a verb)—from within the normative conceptualizations of religion in the so-called modern West.

Whose Yoga?posted by Phillip Quintero
NPR's Margot Adler reports on the current popularity of yoga in the United States, and its disassociation with Hinduism. She explores the perception of yoga as a form of relaxation and physical exercise, contrasting this with the efforts of the Hindu American Foundation to "take back yoga". Some American Hindus claim that something important is lost when yoga is understood narrowly, that is, without the importance philosophy and lifestyle have for its practice
The problem with the history of tolerationposted by Evan Haefeli
The problem with the history of toleration is not that no one is studying it. There is now a rapidly growing number of books and articles approaching the topic from a number of angles and in several different countries. The problem is that we assume that all of those studying toleration are studying the same thing. Though in fact we are describing a diversity of arrangements, dynamics, and possibilities taking place in different societies at different times, we still write and think as if there were a single proper form of toleration to which all others should adhere, or an ideal like "religious freedom" to which all should aspire.
Love's ladder's Godposted by Patrick Lee Miller
It was their final conversation. She would soon die, although neither of them knew it at the time. St. Augustine and his mother waited for a ship that would take her across the sea, to Africa, where she had raised him. She had always prayed he would become a Catholic; now, after many years, he was one. "There we talked together," he writes in his Confessions, "she and I alone in deep joy." This common joy stemmed from their shared company, but also their shared belief in God.

Cultural models and Rethinking Secularismposted by Giles Gunn
Rethinking Secularism is the title of a striking new collection of essays, edited by Craig Calhoun, Mark Juergensmeyer, and Jonathan VanAntwerpen that is rich with shrewd, and often detailed and intricate, discussions of the way the political and the social, the public and the personal, are threaded with, and frequently created out of, the interpretive, the symbolic, and the imaginary. It is also a book with whose central claim I could not be in fuller agreement: the religious and the secular do not designate different ends of a historical timeline, much less a simple binary, so much as different inflections of a process beginning, at least in the West, with the slow disintegration of Latin Christendom in the Late Middle Ages, and that we have come to recognize as the longue durée of the modern.

Focus on the funk: An interview with Cornel Westposted by Eduardo Mendieta
"I would go with Pierre Hadot and say that the love of wisdom is a way of life; that is to say, it's a set of practices that have to do with mustering the courage to think critically about ourselves, society, and the world; mustering the courage to empathize; the courage, I would say, to love; the courage to have compassion with others, especially the widow and the orphan, the fatherless and the motherless, poor and working peoples, gays and lesbians, and so forth—and the courage to hope. So, it is a way of life, a set of practices, no doubt, but, at the same time, I call it a kind of focus on the funk."

Political theology and political existentialismposted by Peter E. Gordon
"At stake in our political life," Paul Kahn observes, "has been not our capacity to be reasonable, but our capacity to realize in and through our own lives an ultimate meaning." While it would require little effort for me to catalogue the many insights that seized my attention while reading Kahn's thoughtful and highly provocative new book, it is this basic insight that chiefly arouses my interest, insofar as it serves as the organizing premise for the argument as a whole. It is therefore this claim most of all that deserves close scrutiny.
Religious and secular foundations of human rightsposted by Grace Yukich
A post at the New York Times philosophy blog "The Stone" reflects on the differences between religious and secular underpinnings of human rights. The author, Anat Biletzki, critiques the argument that human rights are impossible without religion, or, particularly, belief in God. Instead, she asserts that the secular basis for human rights is in fact more faithful to humanity than religious justifications, which she defines as rooted in the authority of a superhuman creator (i.e., God) rather than in the value of the human.
The politics of the atonementposted by J. Kameron Carter
To grasp the deep architecture of the political today, therefore, is to venture into the theological domains of Christology and especially atonement, that area of theology (particularly, Christian theology) that deals with the logic of (redemptive) death. But the journey cannot be simply phenomenological in the way Kahn carries it out. Or, put differently, it may need to be phenomenological, but in a way that Kahn himself has not considered. Atonement thinking, and the "death contract" that binds politics, must, from within a different phenomenology (and therefore from within a different approach to political theology), be redirected. There must be a new future of death and the political.
Paul Kahn's rootsposted by Nancy Levene
Paul W. Kahn's Political Theology: Four New Chapters on the Concept of Sovereignty is a compelling book, though compelling in a sense not unlike an intellectual bruise one is drawn to press on again and again. Ostensibly a re-purposing of Carl Schmitt's 1922 Political Theology, Kahn's book possesses a more ambitious armature than his title and the format of following Schmitt's chapter scheme might suggest. Kahn is a legal scholar by training, and interested here in the problem of sovereignty, which takes him deep into questions of law, jurisprudence, constitutional reasoning, and forms of political organization. It is no less notable, however, that Kahn's project weighs in on four classic philosophical and political problems . . . .
Utopia nowposted by Jenna Tiitsman
Only when utopia is understood in the present continuous, as arriving without completion, can we make sense of the work of modern global imaginaries to declare the unity of the world in the present tense. Many of the modern global imaginaries authored in America around communication technology see no bold line at the temporal horizon; rather, they understand their present to extend into the future that stretches before them as that future comes rushing back, swallowing oceans of distance in its approach.
The perspective of the commonposted by Bruno Gulli
In liberal theory, essence is privileged over existence, reason over will, and endless discussion over decision. In political theology, things stand the other way around: existence, will, and decision have primacy over essence, reason, and endless discussion. If Kahn, like Schmitt, is right to criticize liberalism (albeit for the wrong reason), this does not mean that the either/or logic he seems to employ (either liberal theory or political theology) ought to be accepted at face value. An alternative to this either/or comes from the perspective (and practice) of the common, which maintains the decision as singular but rejects it as sovereign.

Implicated and enraged: An interview with Judith Butlerposted by Nathan Schneider
Judith Butler, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, is among the leading social theorists alive today. Her most recent books are Frames of War (2009) and The Power of Religion in the Public Sphere (2011), an SSRC volume that puts her in conversation with Jürgen Habermas, Charles Taylor, and Cornel West. As we carried out our conversation by email between Brooklyn and Berkeley, uprisings were occurring across the Arab world, and a U.S.-led coalition had just begun conducting airstrikes in support of rebel forces in Libya. We had discussed some similar questions, and some different ones, a year earlier in an interview for Guernica magazine.

Falling on the sword of the spiritposted by Ruth Marshall
There is no doubt that anthropology needs new approaches for understanding dramatic change, a new way of figuring the relationship between structure and subjectivity (often abusively assimilated by anthropologists to consciousness or the individual person), which I take to be part of the gambit of the project of an anthropology of Christianity. There is also a real need for a renewal of critical thought on the problems of exploitation, oppression, injustice—on the devastating ravages of late neoliberal capitalism on the masses of the Global South, which are also the populations most engaged in the new wave of conversions. Nothing testifies to this more dramatically or poignantly than the recent wave of self-immolations that has swept across North Africa in the past weeks, nor, might I add, to the ongoing force of a sacrificial politics. But can we really claim that something called Global Christianity (a shorthand, here, for its Pentecostal or charismatic forms), if not able to provide a model for emancipatory action, might, in dialogue with the atheist, post-foundational left, give us something better to think with?

Seeing disciplinesposted by John Marshall
In the midst of the interdisciplinary enterprise that Global Christianity, Global Critique undertakes, I want to suggest that the challenge of interdisciplinarity—and, at the same time, the source of what value it may have—is the problem of locality, constraint, and limit. In other words, following Jean-François Lyotard (The Postmodern Condition), legitimation is local; it is a function of the language-game, which in the scholarly context means a function of the the discipline. Read with the themes of limit, border, and locality in mind, these treatments of global critique and global Christianity reveal the prominence of this problematic.

Greedy time: An interview with Patrick Lee Millerposted by Nathan Schneider
Patrick Lee Miller is an assistant professor of philosophy at Duquesne University and the author of Becoming God: Pure Reason in Early Greek Philosophy (Continuum). His work focuses primarily on ancient Greek philosophy, albeit in constant conversation with modern thinkers. Becoming God examines the early conflict between Heraclitean philosophy and the Parmenidean metaphysics that was to become the cornerstone of Plato's thought, and hence of the tradition of Western philosophy that followed in his wake.
Disenchantment and the mind-dependence of the moralposted by Matthew Noah Smith
At the core of contemporary secularism is the denial of the existence of deities and the supernatural. There is only the natural, as described by our best sciences. This 'disenchantment' of the world seems to leave no place for value, and this exclusion of value from the world is, Akeel Bilgrami argues in his essay "What is Enchantment?" one of the central and damning failures of contemporary secularism.
How does secularism crowd values out of our picture of the world? If we accept a secularist metaphysics, then a necessary condition for the existence of values is that they can be accommodated by our best sciences. But our best sciences do not seem to have any room for values. Values make demands on human beings as actors—for instance, we ought to pursue the good, we ought to avoid the bad, and so on—but science describes no such free-standing "oughts."
The Soul Hypothesisposted by Jessica Polebaum

Can life be better than bearable?posted by Charles Gelman
At The Stone, philosopher Sean D. Kelly muses on Nietzsche's proclamation of the death of God and considers contemporary culture in light of Nietzsche's epidemiology of modern nihilism. Aside from the oddness of seeing Nietzsche analyzed in the The New York Times, there are a few particular issues one could take with Kelly's brief essay.
Crosswise logicposted by Patrick Lee Miller
My previous post sought to humble the principle of non-contradiction, and thus the logic of consistency it defines, finding it inadequate for thinking the temporal world in which we live and breathe and have our being. Parmenides first articulated this principle, calling "equally deaf and blind" those who would not think consistently according to it, those "hordes without judgment, for whom both to be and not to be are judged the same and not the same, and the path of all is crosswise (palintropos)." Without compromise, he recognized the conflict between his principle and our world of change and diversity. Consistently, he rejected time and the logic needed to understand it. His target here was Heraclitus, who claimed that "a thing agrees in disagreement with itself; it is a crosswise harmony (palintropos harmoniē), like that of the bow and the lyre." This post aims to explain his earlier, contradictory, but nonetheless more accurate logic.

outcome of interest in the same depth. Funding would never be sufficient to do that, nor would the burden on study participants be acceptable. We detail instances in which we think the particular choices made for the NCS merit reconsideration or refinement—indeed, earlier work by NCS working groups and advisers often included options that we think should be on the table but did not appear in the final research plan. Nonetheless, we remain cognizant throughout of the resource limitations for the study, as well as the design constraints imposed by some of the decisions needed to bring the NCS to its current state. At the same time, we note—as does the NCS research plan itself—the opportunity afforded by the study's length to alter course in one manner or another as appropriate, not only to take account of our comments, but also to take advantage of relevant new measurement techniques and research insights.
The NCS is designed to be a long-running, observational panel study of a nationally representative probability sample of 100,000 births to be followed from before birth to age 21. Data will be collected on multiple exposures and multiple outcomes with repeated measures over time.
The sample design (see NCS Research Plan, Vol. 1, Secs. 6.1-6.4) is multistage and based primarily on households (discussed further in Chapter 4). Omitting some details, the first stage (already completed) was to draw a sample of 110 primary sampling units (PSUs) in 105 locations; the PSUs are counties or groups of counties (or parts of counties in Cook County, Illinois; Harris County, Texas; and Los Angeles County, California), each of which is expected to experience a minimum of 2,000 births during a 4-year enrollment period for the study. The second stage (implemented to date in the PSUs covered by the seven Vanguard Centers) will be to draw a sample of segments in each sampled PSU; the segments are census blocks, groups of blocks or similar subdivisions (some PSUs may be other subunits, such as school catchment areas). A third stage, implemented only in very large segments of sampled PSUs, will be to draw a clustered sample of household addresses. These stages of sampling use stratification on geographic and other variables to ensure representation of population groups (such as minorities) and areas; there is no planned oversampling or undersampling by population groups or areas.
Finally, all of the household addresses in the sampled segments (or clusters) will be visited to identify women who are eligible to participate; such women include those ages 18-44 who are not pregnant as well as all

Gear Review
a little disappointing
These were my first pair of trekking poles and I took them up to Mount Shasta and I have to say I'm a little disappointed. Now I'm not sure if these poles are the kind you're not supposed to bring up there but I found that they came undone after I thought I had tightened them pretty tight...twice! By undone, I mean they became loose and ended up past the maximum extension (which they don't recommend) when I'd pull them out of the snow. After this happened twice, I got a little paranoid about them loosening while I was up there so I kept checking on them. Even though it says you can rotate them 360 degrees and still find it locked tight, I found this not to be true. Next poles I get will be the kind with locking clasps, not the twist ones like these. For the price, I expected more.

I spend some time searching and did not get the specific answer sought after, but I cannot believe this topic hasn't been covered before. Perhaps I'm not using the right search option(s).
I have a 1980s Centurian with a traditional loose ball bb with lots of crud and an annoying grit sound when rotated. (The bike is a fixie conversion - all weather beater, fun to ride.... bike) I have a shimano Un72 sitting in the parts bin. The shimano cartridge did not thread in easily and stopped about 6mm or so into the travel. I never force things through for fear of stripping the threads so I stopped.
My question is whether there is a TPI issue? (Visual inspection showed that they look similar.)
I'll take a stiff brush to really clean the bb shell threads this evening, but is the desire to switch this out ill advised for compatibility reasons? Anyone encounter similar difficulty?
Thanks in advance for any assistance,

Winner of the 20-28 group
SOLO is having a hard day. His yolk sac has just run out and, if he doesn't eat soon, he will die. Just as he starts to sense a tasty microscopic shrimp within striking distance, a fearsome thunderbolt of a tuna shoots past, knocking him for six. Solo is a centimetre-long, week-old larval damselfish, and his odyssey has begun
Despite all the care his parents could offer - the nest building, the long, sensuous courting dances, the daily egg preening - he now drifts with his thousands of siblings at the mercy of the ocean currents. Solo has about a one in 10,000 chance of survival in the big blue sea, where for four weeks, he must feed, grow, and master stalking his prey, all the time dodging his predators. Only then will he be fit to return to a coral reef to begin his adult life.
This seemingly hopeless strategy has evolved in most coral reef fishes, both as a mechanism for dispersal - adults travel very little - and as a means of evading the treacherous "wall of mouths" formed by predators on the coral reef.
At 10 days old, Solo is getting stronger. Dave Bellwood's team at James Cook University on the Great Barrier Reef has found that larval fish can swim non-stop for eight days, covering distances up to 60 miles. This Olympian effort is equivalent for a human round-the-world swimming race. So, despite the ocean currents, it seems that Solo might have some chance of finding a coral reef, perhaps even the one on which he was born.
After Solo's "ears" - otoliths - develop for another day, he senses the big blue is starting to talk. Otoliths are dense, prickly earbones that float in small hairy sacs in his head. Solo relies on them for his hearing and balance.
As he grows, so too must his otoliths. Now Solo is beginning to detect an ancient rhythm, though the noise is very distant (coral reefs can be heard from 12 miles), and he starts to dance in its direction.
As the beat of the drum gets louder, Solo begins to pick out the different instruments. The sea herself is providing whooshes of breaking white horses and the occasional crash of a wave. But the animals on the reef are the real orchestra. Snapping shrimps form the reef's enormous percussion section (up to 300 shrimps may live on one sponge), their instruments imploding micro-bubbles at their claw-tips.
The soloists of the reef are nocturnal fish. Endowed with cunning mechanisms for producing and hearing sounds, these fish boom, squeak, rumble and hoot their way through the dark hours. This living nocturnal orchestra can raise the volume by 35 decibels, the difference between a quiet suburban street and the roar of rush-hour traffic.
Among the musicians of the reef, Solo's parents had timed their spawning activities carefully. They ensured that, when Solo finally arrives at a reef and its wall of mouths, it is during the new moon. This allows Solo to creep around under the cloak of darkness. And creep around he must, of this night is vital to his success. Using his now highly developed sense of smell, Solo instinctively sniffs out his favourite coral type and smells for older fish of his own species. He has made it.
And so Solo's odyssey continues, the wanderer has returned to the reef, and adult life can now begin. Until recently, this odyssey was poorly understood - it was the "black-box" of fisheries management. But marine biologists are now learning to read Solo's inflight recorder.
His otoliths, which grow every day, can be read much like the rings on the trunk of a tree. By counting the rings we can now age larval fish, and from the distances between rings, study their growth rates. And that is not all. Dr Steve Swearer's team at the University of California has found that these rings contain a finger print of the chemical environment experienced during Solo's wanderings that can be deciphered using an ultra fine laser and a mass spectrometer. When compared to the chemistry of the surrounding waters, this enables us to see where Solo has been.
The more we can understand of the talents that Solo has developed on his journey, the more successful our management of fisheries and marine reserves will become. And the sooner the better, for Solo's odyssey was monumental enough without the recent success of a new and ruthless predator. Man.
