Praise for Wicked Game:
"Chilling... Swift pacing and an intriguing plot make this a first-rate supernatural thriller." (Publishers Weekly)
"Best narrator ever!"
Don't listen to the review of Robert - Susan Ericksen is the best narrator you can come across, she's the absoulte queen of all different accents, characters, moods and everything. If there is one that can make a bad book (which this one certainly is not!!!) a great one - it's her! Just try it, you're gonna love her - and the story :-)
Tell us about yourself!
"Wicked Lies "Wicked""
Great Listen...!! Lisa Jackson,one of my favorite authors!!! I started this book...however,thinking it wasn't what I thought...then restarted...and honestly couldn't put it down!! i continued to listen even after a 11hr drive...Susan Ericksen is one of my favorite narrators also... I think she did an excellent job!! Sister!!
I truly love Lisa Jackson's previous books and couldn't wait to hear this one. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be so terribly boring. Too much detail and convoluted storyline. I also have also enjoyed listening to Susan Erickson, particularly with J D Robb's In Death series. Her reading of this book came out as very angry with alot of angst and drama. I returned the book without even finishing the first section. Just waaaaay too BORING!
"My 2nd "LJ" Novel...Really LIKED IT!!!!"
Yes! Becuz it's a Great Story and the Narrator "Susan Ericksen" Gave a Awesome Performance As ALWAYS!!
Can't think of one in particular at the moment, But I Look forward to Reading MORE of Lisa Jackson's Novels!!!
didn't have any certain favorite scene I Enjoyed the Whole Story!
Yes, has interesting characters and the story line kept me on the edge....
whom ever chooses the Narrator's MADE an Excellent Choice with "Susan Ericksen" She does the reading for Another Series that I Read by another Authur...
Avid general reader with a fondness for British and Irish Writers and world history.
"Truly Dreadful"
The author(s) is attempting to mix several forms of writing and several grammatical approaches. It does not work and does not do any justice to the characters - none of whom really have any 'personality' because the author has already indicated what the reader is supposed to think of them. There seems to be a built-in prejudice and ignorance about almost all the subject matter. I hope that any future writings would give evidence of more research into both subject matter and personation of her characters.
"Kept me listening; couldn't put it down"
I don't know. Haven't read the print version.
Intrigue. Kept me wondering and wanting to keep listening.
Susan Ericksen is great. The first search I do for an audio book is to find those narrated by Susan. I can listen to her voice all day!
No, not one moment. The entire story kept me reading.
I did not know this was the second book, until I finished Wicked Lies and started searching for another book by this author. I read reviews that say the first book is much better. But, I can't imagine that because I loved Wicked Lies. I will now read the first book!
"About 6 hours too long..."
The story was frustrating...The way she refused to go to the police..ever tell the truth to anyone and draw out the entire story got to be too much. Then the worst part was when it ended they didn't give us anything for the pain and suffering of having to listen to the book.
"Wicked Lies"
Great read/listen. Caught my attention. Now I'm reading "Wick Games", the first book.
"Nice listen - somewhat irritating narrator"
I won't go into a long diatribe regarding this book and get straight to the point. All in all, a good storyline with strong characters. But the narrator made everyone but the main characters, childish, rude, angry with bad attitudes. The sarcastic tone she used was very irritating at times. If you can get past that, I think you'll enjoy the book.
"Not To My Liking"
I began listening to this story but did not finish until this was the only book on my iPod to listen to during a long weekend at our cabin. The story line was compelling but the narration was painful to listen to. The constant repetition previously presented material combined with the jabbing, angry narration made the book more of something in the background to listen to than truly enjoy.
Apparently there is a prequel to this, but I couldn't find it on the site, which is a bit annoying; however, the plot doesn't require previous knowledge, so you're fine! A recently divorced nurse starts receiving psychic messages from an escaped serial killer. She must team up with a reporter to try and stop the killer taking out her sisters in the commune she grew up in.

Talk of the Town
The Collective is a KDHX.org blog aggregator for some of the Saint Louis area's finest cultural and political blogs. It's a one-stop spot for staying in touch with the local blogosphere. Recent must reads include KDHX's own Rob Levy (posting at 52nd City) on the St. Louis International Film Festival, St. Louis American editor Chris King capturing a meeting with a legendary Russian poet, Michael Allen unearthing the story of the beautiful Bremen Bank Building, Urban Review STL covering the sale of the last Native American mound in St. Louis and a passionate essay about Proposition 8 and human rights by Doug Duckworth. And that's just for starters.
Oh Sh*t, He Said F*@k!!
As a KDHX programmer, I keep my ears open all the time, looking for new music to share with all the nice folks who listen to my show. Recently, I was quite taken with a new song by Ben Folds, "You Don't Know Me," from his latest album, Way to Normal. Now, mind you, I can't name another song by Ben Folds which has ever impressed me even a little bit (despite quite a few recommendations from the great pop songwriter Scott Miller on his brilliant blog). This was something unusual for me, and I eagerly took home a promo copy of an EP containing the song. (Hey, you didn't think I'd pay for it. I love you guys, but I can't buy everything I play for you, or I'd never eat.)
So, I gave the EP a closer listen in my car, and was bopping my head and congratulating myself for expanding my musical horizons and all that, when all of a sudden I nearly steered the car into a highway sign with exasperation. Because, in a bouncy little pop song, for no good reason, he sings the following charming verse:
If I'm the person that you think I am (Ah ah ahh)
Clueless chump you seem to think I am (Ah ah ahhh)
So easily led astray,
An errant dog who occasionally escapes and needs a shorter leash, then
Why the fuck would you want me back?!
Now, why the fuck would he sing that word? Because, while "piss" seems to have been dropped from the lexicon of forbidden verbiage, "fuck" remains right at the top of the list. Oh, sure, George W. Bush can go on TV and say rich people deserve billions of dollars while poor people need to pull themselves up by thinner and thinner bootstraps, but somehow or another, that simple little emphatic utterance can make radio stations pay thousands of dollars in fines.
Recently, the Supreme Court has been hearing arguments regarding the casual use of profanities, based on Bono of U2 getting so excited about receiving some award or another that he said he was fucking happy on live TV. Now, I'm not expecting the Court to come out on the side of reason – there breathe very few Americans of any age above 6 who haven't heard or said this word in some conversation or another at some point, so chill the fuck out and let it go so we can concentrate on worrying about the content of sentences, rather than their form. But, I sure do wish I could be a fly on the wall at those hearings. Maybe I could play Antonin Scalia this Ben Folds song and see what he thinks.
Dar Williams Visits KDHX
For those who've followed her career since 1995, starting with the spare and intensely direct debut The Honesty Room, it may seem strange to call Dar Williams an icon, but that's what the young New Englander has become on the contemporary folk scene. She's not quite Ani, but she's got her own socially conscious way with an acoustic guitar and a good song. Dar is currently on tour in support of Promised Land (she'll be appearing at the Duck Room on Friday), her eighth studio album.
She'll be stopping by the KDHX studios on Friday to tape a batch of songs, so listen for her on Coin-Operated Radio on Friday night, on Musical Merry-Go-Round on Saturday morning and Songwriters Showcase on Sunday morning.
White man's burden
I'm sure by now, most of you have encountered Christian Landers' very funny blog, "Stuff White People Like".
If you haven't yet, keep in mind that his satire target is not White people in general, or the easy target redneck types, but educated, liberal, urban types. A whole lot of his commentors still don't seem to get this and bother to argue with him and each other.
Anyway, the latest posting hits quite close to home, and it's funny shit. For somebody like myself, and a whole lot of other KDHX denizens, this calls into question what, for me, is one of my very reasons for living. Hell, I'm in the middle of what's three generations of White guys who feel it's our mission to preserve Black music culture. Of course, this can be construed as awfully condescending. One can even extend this thing in our KDHX world into music of rural white folks that they don't listen to anymore. Can anybody here stomach what passes for Country music these days?
I've been thinking about these matters a lot lately anyway, and wish I had some profound insight into what makes us music geek types tick, particularly the roots-oriented among us. Anybody smarter than me care to elucidate on this?
Weekend Decisions
It's been an insanely great fall for live music in St. Louis; this coming weekend is no exception. Here are my picks:
Fri 11/21 Reverend Horton Heat and Nashville Pu**y @ Pop's
Fri 11/21 Dar Williams @ the Duck Room
Sat 11/22 Little Joy and the Dead Trees @ the Duck Room
Sat 11/22 Elf Power and Vic Chesnutt @ Off Broadway
Sat 11/22 The Hard Lessons @ Cicero's
OK, so it's not humanly possible to do all three on Saturday. While I hate missing Vic (the new record with the Elves is a bit of a rough ride) and the Hard Lessons, (a ferocious rock power trio with some twangy edges), I think I'll opt for Little Joy and the Dead Trees (pictured above), mostly for the latter, who have been in heavy iTunes rotation since I picked up the Portland band's Fort Music EP on eMusic. If you like bristling, smart and hooky rock, you might want to join me at Chez Duck.
What are you doing?
Magnolia Avenue Session: Carrie Rodriguez
At the age of 30, Carrie Rodriguez has had a pretty impressive career. She studied music at the Berklee School, toured with Lucinda Williams, and has leant her world class fiddle to recordings by John Mayer, Patty Griffin, Jimmy LaFave and Walter Hyatt. Chip Taylor took her under his wing, and the two have been collaborating since 2002. On her most recent album, She Ain't Me, Rodriguez gets deeper into her songwriting, working with Gary Louris and Mary Gauthier, as well as famed producer Malcolm Burn.
If you have to pigeonhole Rodriguez, you'd call her Americana, but that just means she pulls together the sounds of country, folk and pop into her own spirited style. She was in town last week performing at the Duck Room, the scene of her Twangfest 11 set. Along with guitarist Hans Holzen and bass player Kyle Kegerreis, she stopped by the KDHX studios to tape a live session. I'm psyched to air it on Feel Like Going Home this Wednesday morning on 88.1 FM and streaming live at KDHX.org.
Here's a teaser track from the session.
There's a hole in my neighborhood down which of late I cannot help but fall
My current most favorite musician in the whole wide world is Guy Garvey, the lead singer and songwriter of the Manchester, England band Elbow. have been head over heels in love with them from the moment the first record was released; four albums in and it's still an active romance.
The latest Elbow album, Seldom Seen Kid, is more than partially responsible for my wish to return to the KDHX air waves. Like everyone at KDHX, I am always eager to present music that my listeners will love. After years and years at KDHX, I can't hear new music without thinking how it will sound in the context of my show. Without a show when I first received Seldom Seen Kid, I was itching to get Emotional Rescue back on the air as soon as I had listened only once. Really, I love the record that much.
Elbow have a way of sounding anthemic, epic and intimate all at once. No matter how soaring the instrumentation (and oh, how they can soar!), Garvey's voice remains conspiratorial and personal, as if he's whispering his thoughts right into your ear. In short, no matter how big the tune, there are no Jesus Christ poses going on here.
As a bit of a side job, Garvey hosts a weekly program on BBC Radio-6 Music, Guy Garvey's Finest Hour. One of his regular features is asking listeners for their "default" songs, defined as the music that's in your head when you're not actively listening to anything else. "Grounds For Divorce" from Seldom Seen Kid has been my default song for weeks now and I've been doing my best to infect my listeners with its magnificence. To that end, I present here the video for the song.
And if you wake to find yourself humming about a Chinese cigarette case tomorrow, I will happily take the blame.
Discovery: Nik Freitas
Last week, as with many weeks, I played a Fairport Convention song on Feel Like Going Home. Later, I checked my inbox and found a nice note from a listener who loved the track ("Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" as sung by Sandy Denny on the band's soul-shattering Unhalfbricking) and confessed to somehow having missed out on the band.
Some might despair or snicker at the admission, but I find it a wonderful thing. Even the headiest of music heads miss records they should by all lights love desperately; we don't know everything and we shouldn't. There's always more music, new and old, to discover. It's a multiverse thing.
Nik Freitas is a young California-based songwriter, singer and dude-who-plays-and-records-everything. Apparently he's been releasing music since at least 2002, not that I would have known that sans Google. He works out of his modest home studio, buying and selling gear to keep the power on, though he's not much interested in lo-fi aesthetics. He has pop visions–Paul Simon and Todd Rundgren come to mind–but not for their own sake. The songs on this year's Sun Down, his first record for New York label Team Love, reflect on family, friendship and love, and how all three evolve with time, sometimes leaving us bewildered, sometimes broken. But Nik always dusts himself off and sets out again at life. He's an earnest and hopeful chap at heart.
Nik has made a few tunes available for download at his website. Here's the title track from Sun Down. Order the full album here.

Drivers in the Shoals will have to take an alternate route around Hermitage Drive in Florence for the next eight months beginning Monday as work begins to repair a bridge.
Construction crews already have signs and barricades ready to go for Monday morning. The stretch of road is on Hermitage Dr. near Atlanta Avenue and Railroad Avenue.
City officials said they are glad the funding came through to make the necessary repairs now, in hopes of preventing what could become a road hazard for drivers.
"It's going to be somewhat inconvenient, but it's at a point before it becomes a danger and has to be shut down. Fortunately we are getting funding, and it's time to get the bridge replaced," said city spokesman Phil Stevenson.
The eight month estimate assumes no delays caused by inclement weather.

Ford Credit worked with me every step of the way with no hassles no issues. Pierson Ford was the greatest as well they helped me work with Ford Credit to keep my pickup and to keep me current. when my lease was up I kept my pickup and I love it. I have also had a few of my friends that have rode in my pickup and now they too are looking at getting a new Ford Pickup and one of them has been a Toyota person since he has been driving and the other has been a Dodge person as well. I love my Pickup. It's never let me down. This was the first Ford product I have ever had and it wont be the last. I have been with GM and Chrysler/Dodge and none of them were willing to work with a person and work hard for a person as Ford.

As you might have known by now, Fiat is making a comeback to the US market and the 500 will be one of the models offered here. The only difference is, in Europe, the car comes in coupe and convertible versions, but on the US market it will be offered as a 4-door model.
The four-door version of the Fiat 500 has a code-name: L0. The vehicle would be classified as a small minivan in Europe because it has a hatch in the rear and a high roof. Fiat will build the vehicle for export at its Mirafiori plant in Turin on a longer and wider platform than the two-door 500. North American versions of the two-door 500 will be built at Chrysler's factory in Toluca, Mexico. While we were looking at the 4 door Fiat , we couldn't help, but notice that it kind of looks like a very rounded Scion xB. Call us crazy, but that is what it reminded us of.
Hit the jump for the full story.
The four-door vehicle would be the fourth addition to the Fiat 500 lineup in North America and the announcement comes just before Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat and Chrysler, announces their five year plan. So, what is in Fiat 's five-year plan? We aren't exactly sure, but we do know that North America will be seeing a convertible version of the Fiat in 2011 and the Abarth version will follow in 2012.

After publishing a map listing thousands of pistol permit holders in suburban counties just north of New York City, the Journal News plans to expand the map to three other counties.
NEW YORK — A suburban New York newspaper that sparked an uproar among gun enthusiasts by publishing names and addresses of residents holding pistol permits is now planning to publish even more identities of permit-toting locals.
Further names and addresses will be added as they become available to a map originally published Dec. 24 in the White Plains-based Journal News, the newspaper said.
The original map listed thousands of pistol permit holders in suburban Westchester and Rockland counties just north of New York City.
The map was compiled in response to the Dec. 14 shooting deaths of 26 children and adults in Newtown, Conn., editors of the Gannett Corp.-owned newspaper said. It was published alongside an article titled "The gun owner next door: What you don't know about the weapons in your neighborhood."
The next batch of names will be permit holders in suburban Putnam County, N.Y., where the county clerk told the newspaper it is still compiling information.
Some 44,000 people are licensed to own pistols in the three counties, the newspaper said. Owners of rifles and shotguns do not need permits, the newspaper said.
The publication prompted outrage, particularly on social media sites, among gun owners.
"Do you fools realize that you also made a map for criminals to use to find homes to rob that have no guns in them to protect themselves?" Rob Seubert of Silver Spring, Md., posted on the newspaper's website. "What a bunch of liberal boobs you all are."
Republican state Senator Greg Ball of Patterson said he planned to introduce legislation to keep permit information private except to prosecutors and police.
A similar bill that he introduced earlier as an Assemblyman failed in the state Assembly.
"The asinine editors at the Journal News have once again gone out of their way to place a virtual scarlet letter on law abiding firearm owners throughout the region," Ball wrote on his Senate website.
The newspaper's editor and vice president of news, CynDee Royle, earlier in the week defended the decision to list the permit holders.
"We knew publication of the database would be controversial, but we felt sharing as much information as we could about gun ownership in our area was important in the aftermath of the Newtown shootings," she said.
Some critics retaliated by posting reporters' and editors' addresses and other personal information online.
Howard Good, a journalism professor at the State University of New York at New Paltz, called the critics' response childish and petulant.
"It doesn't move the issue of gun control to the level of intelligent public discussion," he said. "Instead, it transforms what should be a rational public debate on a contentious issue into ugly gutter fighting."
Good said the information about permit holders was public and, if presented in context, served a legitimate interest.
But media critic Al Tompkins of the Florida-based Poynter Institute wrote online this week that the newspaper's reporting had not gone far enough to justify the permit holders' loss of privacy.
"If journalists could show flaws in the gun permitting system, that would be newsworthy," he said. "Or, for example, if gun owners were exempted from permits because of political connections, then journalists could better justify the privacy invasion."
Tompkins said he feared the dispute might prompt lawmakers to play to privacy fears.
"The net effect of the abuse of public records from all sides may well be a public distaste for opening records, which would be the biggest mistake of all," he said.

When Mother Nature throws you a flat-light curve ball, just pop out your super-dark, bluebird-day-style optics and pop in your favorite Electric EG1 Lens. Top vents and an anti-fog coating keep the moisture from your breath from impeding your vision, and a scratch-resistant coating protects your lenses from that cat-scratched look. For those into big drops or heavy hitting gaps, it never hurts to have an extra pair of lenses handy should your goggles hit the deck harder a little harder than you expected.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'm sorry, but this doesn't sound like any better than QQ than those on the forums. My DPS has gone way up since patch, which is ironic as my interest has gone way down. There's pretty much only two buttons to hit at any regular intervals (Stormstrike and Earth/Flame Shock), Lava Lash's new cooldown I've found add a whole lot of boring (even if it does make other things - Searing Totem - much more involved in a good way) to what was once my favourite DPS spec, and though I never really liked Fire Nova, it was another button to hit. This will likely be changed when I get Unleash Weapon and I will enjoy the class again, but for now, Unholy is back to being my favourite melee spec, with Ret a close second and then Enhancement.
actually, it's more than just losing dps. totems have been badly nerfed. a lot of totems no longer stack with a lot of the buffs. SoE doesn't seem to stack with horn of winter and battleshout, stoneskin no longer stacks with devotion, windfury no longer stacks with icy talons (don't know if it ever did), and even bloodlust is no longer unique to shamans. healers (resto) will always have a place in raids, ranged dps (elemental) is somewhat more in demand and from what i hear put out decent dps anyway... so what happens to a class-spec that does inferior dps and doesn't really have much to offer by way of raid buffs?
Ouch. Welcome to the world of the Subtlety Rogue. That's how we were until the 4.0.1 patch. We had 0 raid utility and our damage was subpar. Thanks to the patch, though, ALL rogue specs are doing good damage, instead of that one spec falling behind. :)
Sorry, my main is a rogue, even though I love my shammy to death, and it just reminds me of why I went Assassination over Subtlety early on.
@Boozard Hate to break it to you bud, but Strength of Earth never stacked with Horn of Winter, Stoneskin never stacked with Devotion Aura, and Windfury never stacked with Icy Talons. Battle Shout was changed from providing AP (same as Blessing of Might, which is instead now the same as Trueshot Aura, Abomination's Might, and Unleashed Rage) to providing Str/Agi (along with SoE and HoW). Bloodlust was shared around a little so that Shaman were brought to raids for being good players, not because of a particular buff (no-one is in the unique buff category anymore). Want to know what happens to a spec that's doing sub-par DPS? They'll get adjusted. If Enhancement were doing sub-par DPS, it'd be adjusted. The problem is that other specs are overpowered at the moment, a difficulty in balancing due to the fact that, at 80, not all abilities are available, and those specs will be nerfed back to where they should be at 85; Enhancement Shaman turns out were exactly where they should have been, so buffs weren't required. Just because other specs are overpowered doesn't mean yours is underpowered. Just means that the other specs will be hit by the nerf bat sooner than later.

Ferrari isn't the only automaker that can get involved in the exclusive luxury watch business. Jaguar wants to get in on the fun and it tapped British watchmaker Bremont to create an ultra-limited edition timepiece in honor of the iconic Lightweight E-Type .
The two British brands actually have a history of collaboration, beginning with the development of the Jaguar C-X75 Concept back in 2010, specifically the analog dashboard clock found in the interior of the 778-horsepower hybrid supercar. Now, the two companies are back at it again with a new partnership that ties into Jaguar's plan to finish the Lightweight E-Type project it started in February 1963.
The watch itself is a thing of beauty. It's got a 43 mm (1.69-inch) white gold case with an aluminum center ring. This ring, it turns out, was made using the same material used int he construction of the Lightweight E-Type. How's that for unique, right? Look inside at the black dial and you'll notice that it was inspired by a Lightweight E-Type tachometer. A subtle "red zone" quadrant is also a prominent feature while at the six o'clock position, a specific car chassis number of the Lightweight E-Type is displayed, just above where it reads 'Automatic' and 'Made in U.K.' Meanwhile, the watch strap is made from Connolly leather, which is the same type of cover Jaguar used on the Lightweight E-Type's upholstery.
Neither Jaguar nor Bremont has mentioned any pricing details for these six watches. What we do know is that they won't come cheap. Not cheap at all.

Under the leadership of Tilden and his team, Air Group's focus is on offering industry-leading customer service with low fares, steadily growing its route network, making Alaska and Horizon the easiest airlines to fly, and building a sense of teamwork and alignment among its people. Alaska's people have been recognized for seven consecutive years by J.D. Power, ranked No. 1 in on-time performance for four consecutive years by FlightStats.com, and received other honors for their philanthropy, community service and environmental stewardship. In 2013, the International Council on Clean Transportation ranked Alaska as the most fuel-efficient airline in the United States. All of these efforts have led Air Group to become one of the nation's most profitable airline companies.
Tilden previously served as president, executive vice president of finance and planning, chief financial officer, and corporate controller of Alaska Air Group or Alaska Airlines. Before joining the company in 1991, he spent eight years with the accounting firm Price Waterhouse in its offices in Seattle and Melbourne, Australia.
Tilden earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from Pacific Lutheran University and an executive master's degree in business administration from the University of Washington. He also holds a private pilot's license with an instrument rating.
Tilden serves on the boards of Pacific Lutheran University and the Chief Seattle Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and was a director at Flow International Corp. until its sale in January 2014.
Introduced to aviation early in life, Tilden grew up a few miles from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, where he loved to watch Alaska jets take off and land. A resident of Seattle, he is married and has three daughters. In addition to spending time with his family, he enjoys cycling and flying his Cessna 182.

Searching for Bobby Fischer (full movie).
In the film, Josh Waitzkin's family discovers that he possesses a gift for chess and they seek to nurture it. They hire a strict instructor, Bruce Pandolfini (played by Ben Kingsley) who aims to teach the boy to be as aggressive as chess legend Bobby Fischer. The title of the film is a metaphor about the character's quest to adopt the ideal of Fischer and his determination to win at any price. Josh is also heavily influenced by Vinnie, a "speed chess" hustler (Laurence Fishburne) whom he met in Washington Square Park. The two coaches differ greatly in their approaches to chess, and Pandolfini is upset that Josh continues to take the advice of Vinnie. The main conflict in the film arises when Josh refuses to adopt Fischer's misanthropic frame of reference. Josh then goes on to win on his own terms.
Searching for Bobby Fischer (movie).
Searching for Bobby Fischer is a 1993 drama film based on the life of prodigy chess player Joshua Waitzkin, played by Max Pomeranc. Adapted from the book of the same name by Joshua's father Fred, the film was written and directed by Steven Zaillian. In the United Kingdom the film was released under the title Innocent Moves.

Coastal ecosystems are a vital livelihood resource for millions of fishers, a protective barrier against storms, tidal surges and tsunamis and a source of recreation for millions. This makes coastal real estate the most prized for tourism, industries, aquaculture, nuclear and thermal power plants or ports – all of which leave behind a devastated coastal environment. Industry and sections of government are colluding to grab huge swathes of land in coastal India at the cost of local communities, the environment and biodiversity.
An example of coastal land grab is the rampant port proliferation that is changing the Indian coastline. Over 300 ports are proposed for the coast of mainland India – that's an average of one every 25 km! Many of these are in or near mangroves, mud flats, nesting and breeding grounds for important marine creatures. But do we really need so many ports? Or is this a massive private land grab by gullible or corrupt government planners?
The Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) notification 1991 was originally meant to protect our coasts. It divided the coast into zones of varying ecological sensitivity and prohibited industrial activities in the most sensitive ones. However, over the last 20 years, the notification has been progressively diluted and weakened to suit industrial and 'development' interests. Greenpeace is demanding that the CRZ notification be strengthened and implemented so that industries and infrastructure projects can be kept away from the most eco-sensitive areas.
For several years, Greenpeace has been fighting the Tata Steel-L&T Dhamra port in Orissa, as an example of the threat that port development poses to the Indian coast. The port is now built, despite the threat it poses to the Bhitarkanika and Gahirmatha protected areas and species such as the Olive Ridley turtle, Horseshoe crab and Saltwater crocodile. However, it is essential that the mistakes of Dhamra are not repeated – we cannot afford more such ecological disasters.
By focusing on the wrongs of the Dhamra port, Greenpeace has highlighted the threat that ports in general pose to the Indian coast and lobbied for national level measures to ensure that rampant port development is checked.
Greenpeace is therefore demanding that the Ministry of Environment and Forests place protection of the coastal environment and dependent livelihoods above industrial concerns and prohibit the construction of new ports or expansion of existing ones within 25 km. of eco-sensitive areas.

Few scientists showed as much genius while forming intense rivalries with peers as Nikola Tesla. Many scientists and historians would now acknowledge that Nikola Tesla invented the conventional means of transmitting radio signals throughout the air, but the question of who really invented the radio was disputed for many years before it was finally settled in the U.S. Supreme Court in 1943.
Radios are made up of two basic components: a transmitter and a receiver. All radios use continuous sine waves to transmit information. These waves have various frequencies that separate various signals. The frequencies allow different devices to receive different information. They also allow radio stations to transmit different programs on different channels.
The radio transmitter is the initial technology used in a broadcast. It collects information -- perhaps a frame of video, a radio announcer's program or a cell phone caller's voice -- and encodes it in a continuous sine wave. The transmitter then sends the radio waves out to whatever receivers are tuned in to receive them. The receiver captures the radio waves with an antenna and decodes them for use in whatever application is collecting the data.
The most basic part of radio technology -- the ability to generate and control these continuous sine waves -- can certainly be attributed to Tesla. In 1895, Tesla discovered that by tuning two Tesla coils to the same resonant frequency, he could generate and transmit radio waves. A year later in England, an Italian inventor named Guglielmo Marconi filed a patent for a wireless telegraphy method. While Marconi had made some interesting progress toward wireless telegraphy, his early models were capable of only limited transmission strength and distance.
Tesla filed for radio patents in 1897 in the United States. Marconi attempted to file for patents in 1900 but received a denial because of Tesla's existing patents. But Marconi's radio company began to experience financial success and support from important members of the American industrial community, like Thomas Edison and Andrew Carnegie. In 1904, the U.S. patent office granted Marconi a patent for the invention of radio. Tesla was infuriated over the insult, and many people still call Marconi the father of radio. Marconi even went on to win a Nobel prize for his work in 1909, though the U.S. Supreme Court decided in Tesla's favor when they finally heard the case in 1943.
