The King's College (also TKC or simply King's) is a Christian liberal arts college located in the Financial District of New York City.

History [edit]
Percy Crawford founded The King's College in 1938 in Belmar, New Jersey.[4] The school re-located in 1941 to New Castle, Delaware,[5] and again in 1955 to the former Briarcliff Lodge site in Briarcliff Manor, New York.[6] At Briarcliff, The King's College sponsored the The King's Tournament, a sports tournament in which East Coast Christian college athletes competed each year.[7]
In 1962, after Crawford's death in 1960,[5] Dr. Robert A. Cook became the college's second president.[8] The college prospered under his leadership, with enrollment growing to a high of 870 students in 1980.[9] After 23 years as president, Cook retired and became the college's chancellor in 1985, a position which he held until his death in 1991.[8] Friedhelm Radandt succeeded Cook to become the college's third president.[citation needed] Nine years later, in December 1994, the college shut down, as a result of years of declining enrollment, bad financial decisions, and the deterioration of the Briarcliff campus.[9] The college declared bankruptcy, owing more than $25 million to its creditors mostly from the mortgage of a new suburban campus.[10]
Reestablishment in New York City [edit]
The college charter, first granted by the New York Board of Regents in 1955, remained in force.[11] In 1997, the College's charter was amended to make Campus Crusade for Christ the sole member of the corporation.[11] Together with Campus Crusade founder Bill Bright, J. Stanley "Stan" Oakes, then the director of Faculty Commons,[12] a Campus Crusade ministry, began work to pay off the institution's debts and re-establish it in New York City, along with the recently acquired Northeastern Bible College, which had experienced a similar decline and closure as King's.[13] In 1999 King's leased 45,000 square feet (4,200 m2) of space on three floors of the Empire State Building in New York City for classrooms, a student recreation center, and administrative offices.[6] Radandt remained president, with Oakes as Chairman.[11] In January 2003, Oakes became the fourth president; five years later, Oakes became chancellor and Andy Mills became the fifth president. Following treatment for brain cancer, Oakes reassumed the presidency on January 1, 2009. In December 2009, the College announced that Oakes would take a year-long sabbatical.
On August 23, 2010, the college announced the appointment of conservative writer Dinesh D'Souza as its new president.[14] On October 18, 2012, D'Souza resigned his post at the school, shortly after it became known[15] that he was claiming to be engaged, despite still being legally married to his wife of 21 years. D'Souza disputed the WORLD article[16] in a public statement the evening before his resignation.
In 2012, the college relocated from the Empire State Building to a new location in the Wall Street area of New York City. The College has an active board of trustees who support the College financially.[17] The College has hired a search firm from Atlanta, which has placed presidents at other Christian colleges, to lead its search for a new President.[18]
Organization [edit]
The college, formerly a subsidiary of Campus Crusade for Christ,[11] claims the "Protestant evangelical tradition" as its own.[19] It "seeks ambitious students who want to make a difference in the world," and who "seek a rigorous undergraduate education that is rooted in the Christian liberal arts tradition" in order to educate them for "principled leadership."[20][21] "Through its commitment to the truths of Christianity and a biblical worldview," the TKC mission statement reads, "The King's College seeks to transform society by preparing students for careers in which they help to shape and eventually to lead strategic public and private institutions, and by supporting faculty members as they directly engage culture through writing and speaking publicly on critical issues."[22]
Academics [edit]
The college is authorized by the Board of Regents to grant two degrees in a total of four programs.[23] and has received regional accreditation from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools' Commission on Higher Education.[24][25] The college currently maintains degrees in "Business Management," "Politics, Philosophy, and Economics" ("PPE"), and[26] a major in "Media, Culture and the Arts" ("MCA"), which was officially launched in August 2009.[27] Within the PPE program, students are able to pursue "concentrations" in literature, media, theology, and foundations of education.[28] The MCA program has concentrated electives in literature, creative writing, journalism, media studies, and the visual and theatre arts.[29] Students also take courses in theology and Western civilization.[30]
Accreditation status [edit]
The King's College has been accredited by the New York Board of Regents for over 40 years.[31] The King's College pursued regional accreditation with the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and after completing a self-study and being reviewed by the Commission on Higher Education in 2009, The King's College was granted regional accreditation as of November 19, 2009.[32] King's is now accredited and no longer needs to pursue accreditation with the New York Board of Regents. The King's College will complete its next self-study with Middle States for accreditation renewal between 2014 and 2015. [5]
Student life [edit]
During the 2007-2008 academic year, the school enrolled a total of 220 students from 11 countries and 37 states.[6] By the fall term of 2008, enrollment had grown to 258,[33] and the average ACT score of the 2008 incoming class was 28, putting the King's College in the 90th percentile nationwide.[34]
Residence life [edit]
King's does not require attendance at church or chapel services, and students are not required to sign a statement of faith (although faculty are).[35] Instead, students sign an honor code pledging not to "lie, cheat, steal, or turn a blind eye to those who do."[36] This is described by the school as "the minimum standard of ethical behavior that all students have contracted to live by."[36] Students live in groups of three or four[37] in apartments in two high-rise buildings on Sixth Avenue.[6] Students are also housed in a dorm-style building in Manhattan's Lower East Side, and a studio apartment building on Clark St. in Brooklyn Heights. During the summer, King's leases these apartments to students in the city for summer internships.[38]
King's has a house system, although the school describes the system as also having similarities to traditional fraternities and sororities.[39] All incoming students are assigned to one of the ten currently established houses, which are named for historic leaders: C.S. Lewis, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Corrie ten Boom, Elizabeth I, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Winston Churchill, and Clara Barton.[39] Students are encouraged to develop strong ties within their houses.[39] During the year, they participate in inter-house competition in events such as "The Great Race," a scavenger hunt throughout the City,[40] and the house GPA contest, where each house attempts to achieve the highest average GPA.[6][41] As upperclassmen, students are eligible for election by their peers to one of four house leadership positions: President, Scholar, Helmsman, and Chamberlain.[39] Each position has certain spiritual, academic, or residence life responsibilities within the house.[39]
Extracurricular activities [edit]
King's has many student groups, including The King's Debate Society, which competes against other university teams in British Parliamentary Style debate; Mock Trial, which puts students in the shoes of courtroom lawyers and witnesses, competing against other colleges at a regional and national level. The King's College is one of the only Christian colleges in the United States that offers Mock Trial.
The Tent is a Christian group that meets to worship God and edify one another through prayer and music. Other clubs include The King's College Theatre (TKCT), which puts on dramatic performances and other theater-related events, The King's Dancers, which schedules dance practices, performances, and outings.
Other organizations include The King's Council, the King's student government group, the Empire State Tribune, the King's student newspaper, and The Lewis Review, a strictly unaffiliated student publication run by the House of Lewis.[42] King's students are encouraged to start groups they see a need for at the college.[43]
Athletics [edit]
The King's College has a number of athletic teams, competing at various levels. Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country and soccer. Women's sports include basketball, volleyball, cross country and soccer. Beginning in the 2012–2013 school year, TKC will be a member of the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA). Continuing TKC's policy of encouraging students to start their own programs and take active ownership in student life, most teams at King's are student-started and run ventures. Athletic teams at The King's College have been started since the college was re-chartered in 1999, meaning they are not directly affiliated with and do not receive support from TKC's athletics programs that were centered at Briarcliff Manor. The athletics program at The King's College is designed to serve students' interests in sports and recreational activities, whether they are competitive, recreational, or instructional. Emphasis is placed on student leadership and involvement, as well as on the dedication and commitment of club members.[44]

| the essence of being specific or "wow, it really works"
I'm speechless because it really works, I mean I knew that, but sometimes you get so desperate when you want something and it's not coming, but then only when you switch your thinking it starts working!!! I'm amazed... I made an exel document that I called "my weekly intentions" and I put there things I'm gonna do this week and things I want the Universe to do for me.. - 85% are happening the way I asked or better.. It's really a lot about your concious, you can even call it "programming".. whatever, but it defenately is worth being used! Now, my problem (next level up) is having courage to accept it when it comes. And sometimes we want something JUST because we don't have it.. like me - I've been desperate for months about meeting a guy to date.. (just because I was tired of being single and worried for staying single forever, etc.), and now when I switched my thinking and really started to have it "within" me and being positive - here we come - there is a nice guy asking me out, but... just beacuse I was working on another intention at the same time - getting a job abroad and moving to a different place (really wanted this for quite some time) I'm now confused. If I want to move, I don't want to start any relationship (coz I don't just "date" - if I'm in a relationship - it's serious for me) and do I really want to move, or I wanted it because I was bored and single here..? and the opportunity to go abroad for several months also appeared after months of craving it and I again hesitated to take it then because it wasn't like PERFECT offer, but it was good anyways.. now it might be gone forever or I might have another chance (will find out in few weeks)... Now the question: what do I REALLY want? I want both - a relationship and moving... so I keep rushing in between these 2 desires all the time wishing for them to be in one.. ohhh I really have to decide what I want, but it's so hard.. I know I'm the only one to answer this, but maybe someone had similar struggles and can share? p.s. this LoA thing does freaking work!!!! this is inspiring at least! just make sure you know WHAT you want! |

Themaster, hehe yeah I don't have to go far to realize I send mixing messages all the time as I don't have a "detailed plan", just some vague images of what I want in my life, so when an opportunity shows up I'm afraid to let it slip (it's this type of thinking - "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"...you know, if-I-miss-this-now-I-might-never-get-it-or-anything-better type of mentality how do I get rid of this limiting belief?.. |

| That's my "ideal" plan, but I keep rushing between "going=risking" and "staying=safety" and therefore I get really big synchronicities, but separate... either guy here or a job.. (but of course I can't see from here if there is a guy there) )) damn, risking is temptatig and more exciting def )

| The more excitement will outline the better choice.. But if either has the same amount.. either choice is fine I want to talk a minute since I posted about the idea of not actualizing on your dreams.. I will give you a example since I have one in my reality.. My sister Tina (yep, I gave you her name) tells me she wants to do 2 things.. sail on the ocean on her own sailboat and 2. write books.. Now rather than actualize on any of this path in the last few years she has - Tried to build a house with my mom which didn't work out cause there was a lot of negative energy and instead ended up owning a different house.. - Says she will still build the house after she probably spends years raising cash for it.. and paying back just about everybody (if this plan were to be done.. it would take 4-10 years based on a real world reality scenario ) The truth is she has placed this dream in pipeland and not actualized much on it.. (not that I'm trying to judge.. trying to relate this as neutral/observation ) I say to her.. move your ass to the coast.. and if your there for 1 or 2 years.. 10 to 1 you will have a boat in that amount of time.. (for she lives in Denver.. nearest ocean is 1500 miles or so ) Now when I look at it from her perspective I do see her truth or FEAR is what it is.. I'm going to quit my job in this bad economy and get a new one?? write a book I haven't even tried to write in a new city with no family/friends? But what exactly installs all these doubts and fears yes? The doubts and fears come from a thing we can call "the analyzer" or the "ego".. it looks out in the world and says.. if I go there where will money come from" "where will the boat come from" I don't have very good love of myself.. where is the love going to come from etc. That's all it ever does think.. the spiritual message or the underlying message of truth about our reality and LOA is.. were supported where ever we go! But the reason no one chooses to "GO" is cause they listen to their fear, to their analyzer to their ego.. it is not incorrect to listen sometimes it's wise to listen.. but if you believe in your heart 100% that you make this new bold, daring move that you will be supported!! you will be!! So look for the beliefs in yourself and if they are not limiting.. make the next jump! Now just to explain something.. in the last month or two I have started to make rapid progress in myself and my goal.. and as such I am starting to notice that reflected in my reality.. my mom one of the most limited people I know, has given up the dark side.. and gotten married and seems generally happy for it.. and I hear my sister has finally wrote 1 chapter of her book (though that's hearsay ) Last edited by themaster; 11-11-2009 at 05:02 PM. |

yep, you are right - it's all about fear and that's what I want to get rid off..I believe that courage attracts some great opportunities. I tend to overanalyze always and fear that if "go" and it wouldn't be the way I thought it would, there will not be a way out, but there always is.. (Steve's article "Regretting tomorrow" was really cool about this).. Well, now I have to wait... and I confessed to myself if that job opportunity abroad does come back to me (because it can for sure) I WILL GO!! (now just want it to come back) Thanks again and glad there are positive changes going on around you | |

BAPAC and Community Coalition Celebrate Election Day
by abhatt • November 19, 2012 • Bay Area, Oakland News Articles, Opinion, Richmond News, San Francisco, Special Interests Articles
By Lloyd G.
Richmond has reason to celebrate the victorious election results of candidates and state and local ballot measures. And, for those who were on the losing side of Measure N, the so-called "soda tax," and the City Council races, we think they would be well served to accept the message sent by the voters.
When the Richmond Progressive Alliance-led City Council majority voted to place the soda tax on the ballot, without the involvement or support of Richmond's African-American community and its political leadership, they sealed the doom of the tax measure.
The Black American Political Action Committee's (BAPAC) and the Community Coalition employed an aggressive door-to-door grass roots campaign to defeat Measure N. We educated the voters and city council candidates about how the pro-tax forces were asking local businesses to pay a tax on their inventories or annual sales of beverages containing any amount of any type of added sugar.
Even though Councilman Jeff Ritterman, the chief RPA sponsor of Measure N, repeatedly disrespected the Black community by claiming that the campaign to defeat the tax was dependent upon contributions by the U.S. soda industry, his statements boomeranged and had the effect of uniting the minority community.
BAPAC and the coalition were able to defeat the RPA initiative by a 2-to-1 margin, using tactics similar to those employed by Obama's Presidential campaign. The coalition, like Obama, had an effective ground game, as well as some large contributors. BAPAC publicly announced, in the May 30 edition of the Richmond Post, that it would seek financial help to implement its city-wide mobilization plan.
BAPAC thanks many individuals and organizations that helped defeat Measure N and elect candidates to City Council. They include: the city's pastors, preachers, churches, Black Men & Women (BMW), Black Women Organized for Political Action (BWOPA), National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Men & Women of Purpose, Men & Women of Valor, Neighborhood Council Presidents, National Brotherhood Alliance (NBA), Richmond Chamber of Commerce, local businesses, Mayor Irma Anderson, Dr. Brazell Carter, Councilman Corky Booze and Nat Bates, Community Coalition Against Beverage Taxes and the entire community for coming together to defeat this unfair-regressive Soda Tax, re-electing Nat Bates, and electing Gary Bell to the Richmond City Council. We are praying for Bell's recovery and we expect him to be seated on the council in January.
The RPA said Measure N focused national attention on Richmond. BAPAC agrees that the nation watched how the city came together to defeat Measure N while supporting every other tax measure on the ballot.
So what do we do now? First, we must heal our divided City of Pride & Purpose by working with the Measure N supporters. We both agree that obesity and diabetes in Richmond are real. Now we must strive to create a balanced approach to better health.
Secondly, as Dr. Brazell Carter said, "We must explore ways to better educate our community around making wise choices in our dietary selections". Additionally, Dr. Carter supports efforts toward building a modern health education/medical center that could attract more physicians to our city.
BAPAC is looking forward to working with Councilmembers Nat Bates, Gary Bell and Tom Butt. We are prepared to align our support around sound and fair public policy decisions of the council, especially with the knowledge and expertise Bell brings to the council.
Finally, BAPAC is working on a plan to continue its regular weekly and monthly door-to-door outreach organizing for the upcoming 2014 elections. We will touch, inform and engage residents in our neighborhoods throughout the city. The 2014 elections will complete the much needed shift in balance of power from the Richmond Progressive Alliance back to the people. BAPAC along with its partners are planning a reception for Nat Bates and Gary Bell in January. If you would like to be added to BAPAC's "What's Happening Newsletter," send your request to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

New Legal Mandate in Hand, Data-Sharing Advocates Tackle Cultural Obstacles
Coverage of the launch of the Research Data Alliance (RDA), in Göteborg, Sweden. SEAD co-PI, Beth A. Plale, PhD.
The Chronicle of Higher Education
News of Elinor Ostrom's death: We are saddened to report that Elinor Ostrom, SEAD collaborator and 2009 Nobel Prize winner in Economic Science, died on June 12, 2012 in Bloomington, Indiana. Professor Ostrom, who was a faculty member at Indiana University for more than 40 years, was known internationally for her groundbreaking work on the ways that people organize themselves to manage resources. Most of this research was conducted in collaboration with scholars across disciplines and around the world. Professor Ostrom supported and participated in SEAD because she believed that addressing issues such as declining ocean fisheries and global climate change required a collaborative approach and access to data. Professor Ostrom stated: "We need to have a very data intensive dialogue if we're going to have policy that will make a difference in the long run."

In describing the benefits of this collaboration, SEAD co-PI Beth Plale stated, "The data models from Data Conservancy have been tested with several user communities. While our effort will be to extend this to our community, the path to acceptance will be shorter because we are using data models that have been community vetted."

Dean's Message
Herbert Thompson, PhD
It's a new day in the SSEM!
The School of Science, Engineering and Mathematics (SSEM) offers degrees in biology, chemistry, computer engineering, computer science, computer information systems, environmental science, and mathematics.
The SSEM has a tradition of providing excellent instruction. Through a diverse and caring faculty, students who choose an emphasis within the School of Science Engineering and Mathematics are sure to be academically challenged and personally inspired.
The commitment that SEM faculty members have historically made to students has resulted in some of the longest tenures among any of the University's faculty. Recent retirees left the University after as many as 40 years of dedicated work as classroom teachers, researchers, advisors, and co-researchers. Today's matriculating students continue to be inspired by the School's newest faculty members each of them dedicated to continuing the important tradition of preparing our students for successful science, engineering, and mathematics careers and meaningful lives as life-long learners.
A well-trained, caring, and dedicated faculty is not the only benefit of joining us here in the SSEM. We have made a commitment to creating a learning environment that supports student learning and high levels of student success. Our students are the welcomed beneficiaries of the overhauling of the University's Gross Science Building. Significant improvements abound and include a completely refurbished Science Lecture Hall, modernized classrooms, enhanced student study areas, and teaching and learning technology that rivals academic departments and/or schools at much larger colleges and universities. We are continuously developing new programs and courses of study that provide rich research and technology opportunities for our students.
We are blessed to have Dr. Trudie Kibbe Reed as our President and very capable leader. She is a leader who has challenged us to think outside of the box and, in so doing, our students are being graduated as prospective employees who are far more competitive and as graduates who are much better prepared to enter both graduate and professional schools.
Welcome to the School of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics.
Herbert Thompson, Ph.D.
Dean, School of Science, engineering, and Mathematics

Have you ever compared the components present in tobacco smoking and in e-cigs? If not, avail this opportunity to understand the difference in elements present in both cigarettes. It makes huge difference in health damage too. This piece of information is taken from several e-cigarette reviews and research results.
The main element present in traditional method of smoking is tobacco. As it is the known secret, that all sorts of tobacco are injurious to health. The consumption of tobacco in any form like smoking tobacco cigarettes, chewing tobacco is harmful to health. The lists of harmful features in tobacco may cause dental illness, cancer, stomach problems, heart attack and brain damage. The other elements present in tobacco are cyanide, benzene, methanol, acetylene, formaldehyde and ammonia. It is highlighted in one of the e-cigarette reviews that due to these elements, tobacco smokers gradually get illness.
On the other side, what does electronic cigs really have? It consists of liquid nicotine as major element. Apart for this there are other subsidiary elements in diluted form. The liquid nicotine is filled in cartridge which acts as mouth piece. It is also called inhaler where smokers use the portion to inhale nicotine. The inhaler is similar to filter in traditional cigarettes and so the structure looks alike in both of these. What does e-cigs battery works? A guy as mentioned more in detail about how he enjoyed the electronic cigs smoking in e-cigarette reviews. He says that he needs to recharge the battery only once in a while depending on frequency of smoking. Usually life spans of batteries are nearly six to seven months.
For instance if a person smokes two packets of cigarettes per day he need to spend nearly $10.90 for a day. Doesn't this sound costly? Yes of course but the price of electronic cigarettes are pretty cheap and duration is also high comparatively. The active element in e-cigs – nicotine has many advantages like memory power increase, makes you relax and stress less; it also makes the sensation of less hungry. By less level of nicotine intake, it is possible to improve the concentration than being aggressive unwantedly. If asked to me, I prefer and provide e-cigarette reviews that e-cigs are more beneficial than traditional ones.
More about Electronic Cigarettes:
While following traditional smoking habit, people might get change of catching up chronic bronchitis, emphysema (breathing problem due to smoking tobacco). This was the opinion and e-cigarette reviews given in medical sector. Smoking tobacco may affect the pregnant women and also the babies drastically. But electronic cigarettes overcome these by neglecting or diluting its elements. Usually people smoke electronic cigarettes after having their food, while having coffee, while consuming dinner, before going to sleep, when they undergo severe stress in work or in business. By consuming e-cigs, people feel relaxed immediately and their mind is stress free aggressively.
Thus it increases the sales on electronic cigarettes in the market which also raises the positive feedbacks of the product via e-cigarette reviews.

I love my cut and color. Sarah D. the cut you gave me was perfect. I get compliments everyday. They are saying I look younger. thank you for the fantastic job you did.
Kika Jackson has done hair for me, my husband and my children. She does a great job! She is attentive to your input, terrifically patient with the kids, and does great hair. On top of that, she is one of the sweetest people that you'll meet.
Great Job! Went to get highlights and color touch up by Sarah. She did an amazing job very happy with the color & cut.
Amazing!. After going to other salons, I'm very pleased with having Sarah Durant do my hair! She is very thorough and in tune to making you leave feeling amazing. I suggest to anyone wanting a new summer look to go and see her. Call and book an appointment with Sarah Durant!!!!
My hair turned orange!. I was shocked that my hair was transformed into a shade of orange. I will not mention the stylist name as she knows who she is. I think she should call me and refund me the charge for the orange-brassy color. What ever was put on my head at the sink for a quick fix did not work and burned my scalp. It has been 2 weeks since I posted this review and I have had no response from the Salon. I hope that no one else has the experience that I have had and the expense that is required to correct a very bad color job. I also will have to wait at least a year for for the bad hair cut to grow out. I think a lot of these reviews are solicited by friends not real customers. Please read the reviews with low ratings and do not make the same mistake I did.
Strata Salon- Elizabeth. After moving to Moscow a few years ago for school, I struggled to find a stylist that knew what they were doing and was fun to go to. I found Elizabeth from Strata Salon in downtown Spokane from rave reviews online, and boy were they accurate. My boyfriend and I make the hour and a half drive every few weeks to see Elizabeth. She does an amazing job and obvious knows what she is doing. I appreciate how helpful she is with styling suggestions and to top it all off she is super fun! We always look forward to our appointments and always leave happy. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth!!
Uplifting!. The atmosphere at Strata is warm and classy. My stylist was Keilah and she did an awesome job on my hair. She updated my style, which I love!!!!!
Best salon experience in the area, and not just for girls. Elizabeth is hands down the best stylist I've ever been to. She listens to what you want, gives great advice and suggestions, and more importantly does an amazing job. I usually hate getting my hair cut, mostly because of the awkward social experience that takes place. But Elizabeth is the first stylist I've been to that makes the experience very enjoyable and fun. It is pretty clear that she loves her job and has a lot of confidence in what she does. I live in Moscow, Idaho and both my girlfriend and I have agreed that the hour and a half trip to Spokane is well worth it for a stylist who knows what she's doing.
Kara does a great job!!. It had been two years since my last haircut, and was donating my hair. I am fairly new to the area and did not have a regular hair stylist. A friend of mine had her hair done by Kara and it was adorable!! I was very apprehensive about getting my hair cut, but after Kara was done I am looking forward to my next cut with her. She was wonderful, and listened to what I wanted. She was very sweet, and there was no awkward conversation (as there tends to be with new stylists). If your are looking for a stylist....Kara is your girl!!
Keilah is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!. Keilah is the GOOD GOOD as far as hair goes in Spokane!! shes quick, thorough, professional and above all honest about hair!! i kinda sorta told her what i wanted, as i knew i could trust her, and she did what i wanted and more!! i rolled into work today and ive gotten so many compliments i feel famous!! hehehehe!! if you want amazing hair, at a great price and perfect timing, GO TO KEILAH AT STRATA!!! she is the BOSS when it comes to hair!!!

Return to Article Header
The first uses of poison in warfare almost certainly involved dabbing them on the points of arrows and spears. Shortly afterward, enterprising strategists began poisoning the water supplies of besieged cities.
Around 600 BC misguided individuals in Delphi's port city, Cirrha, stole land deeded to Apollo's temple. Called upon to right this wrong, Solon besieged Cirrha and built a dam across the Plesitus River, cutting off the city's water supply. Drinking well and rain water, the Cirrhaeans held on for several months. Solon then tossed hellebore roots into the dammed water, let them dissolve and then released the river to its channel. The Cirrhaeans drank the water and developed violent and uncontrollable diarrhea. With the defenders otherwise occupied, Solon seized the unguarded walls. Such practices were widespread. During the second year of the Peloponnesian War in 430 BC when plague broke out in Athens, the Spartans were accused of poisoning the cisterns of the Piraeus, the source of most of Athens' water.
There were other methods as well. In 401 BC Xenophon led his Greek soldiers in a hasty retreat from Babylon. To the Greeks the campsite near Trabzon looked very much like heaven. Fish were available from the nearby sea, the hills were covered with beautiful rhododendrons, and the woods harbored rich beehives. The soldiers than feasted on honeycombs. The result, as Xenophon recorded, was unpleasant.
All the soldiers who ate of the honeycombs lost their senses, and were seized with vomiting and purging, none of them being able to stand on their legs. Those who ate but a little were like men very drunk, and those who ate much, like madmen and some like dying persons. In this condition great numbers lay on the ground, as if there had been a defeat, and the sorrow was general. The next day none of them died, but recovered their senses about the same hour they were seized. And the third day they got up as if they had taken a strong potion.
Xenophon had been lucky. The pursuing Colchian army had not attacked during the army's prostration and near impotence.
In 67 BC the Roman General Pompey set out to conquer King Mithridates IV of Pontus. Over the course of a year Mithridates slowly retreated before the Roman advance until the two armies confronted one another near Trabzon, on the black sea coast of Turkey. Although the Romans thought the retreat was unplanned the maneuver and the direction were urged by Mithradites chief adviser, the Greek physician Kateuas.
Pompey's hungry troops repeated the honey-feasting of Xenophon's troops. Modern science calls the poison in Trabzon's honey a grayanotoxin. Grayanotoxins are produced by various species of rhododendrons and laurels and are present in the nectar of these plants, which is collected by bees for making honey. The toxins selectively bind to the sodium channels in cell membranes. When excitable cells such as those in nerves or muscles start pumping sodium out through their membranes grayanotoxins prevent the pumps from turning off, and so the cells remain in an excited state. Like the Greek army three and a half century earlier, the Romans went into drunken convulsions. This time the Pontians, cued by Kateuas, were waiting for the result of the "mad honey poisoning." The army did not escape but was massacred.
War continued to be fought through the millenia and poisons were used whenever it was considered advantageous. In World War I synthetic chemical weapons were used for the first time with deadly effect. The emphasis on these weapons and their control caused many to forget that the biotoxins still existed.
On September 13, 1981 Alexander Haig, then Secretary of State accused Soviet-backed Communist forces in Southeast Asia of using a novel toxin weapon in Southeast Asia -- "potent mycotoxins, poisonous substances not indigenous to the region and which are highly toxic to man and animals."
The basis of the charge was the analysis of a leaf, a one inch length of stem and fragments of other leaves from an area on the Thai/Cambodia border which Vietnamese planes allegedly attacked. The samples were carefully parceled out to a handful of laboratories for analysis. Biologists, unaware of the source of their samples, concluded that the leaf was covered by Fusaria fungus and contained three different mycotoxins. The concentrations were 20 times higher than any recorded natural outbreak. Further supporting this were reports among refugees that they had been subjected to air attacks by low flying planes that had diffused a yellow powder. After exposure to this "yellow rain" they became ill with a variety of symptoms suggestive of T2 toxin poisoning and many died.
The mycotoxin reported was a T2 toxin. In the ensuing months controversy surrounded the charges. Evidence suggested that the State Department did not know what it was talking about when it claimed the mycotoxin did not appear in Southeast Asia, which it did. Some scientists suggested that the "toxin" was actually little more than bee feces which was eventually proven to be the case. Anthropologists raised serious objections to the way interviews were conducted with the underlying assumption on the part of the interviewer being that an attack had occurred. They questioned the American government's motive in making the charge, suggesting it was part of a propaganda ploy to step up chemical and biological warfare production.
The critics had their own axes to grind. The most vociferous were participants and architects of the 1972 Biological Warfare Convention. Evidence that the Soviet Union was producing mycotoxins would invalidate the crowning achievement of their careers. No resolution has ever been achieved in the case, but it serves as a reminder of how difficult detecting such weapons can be.
Note: Mithradites was fearful of being poisoned and adopted the practice of building up resistance to poisons by taking increasingly larger doses.

Pat McCrory: breaking his campaign promises in record time
Although Pat McCrory campaigned as a "political outsider" who would root out special interests and reject "business as usual," the truth is this: before he even took office, McCrory had broken his campaign promises and surrounded himself with veterans of the good ole boy network.
Progress North Carolina has set up a special website to catalogue the proof of this. Please share our new accountability website graphics with others so people understand: we need to watch this guy closely. See the website here. Or you can review its contents after the jump.
Within days of winning the election, Pat McCrory broke his campaign promise to keep special interests out of state government. He has surrounded himself with veterans of the good ole boy network and plunged headlong into conflicts of interest unbecoming of our state's highest office.
A new political group affiliated with McCrory and founded by his campaign staffers has been peddling exclusive luxury resort retreats that promise participants the chance to discuss policy with McCrory behind closed doors. This opportunity is being given only to those who buy $50,000 and $25,000 memberships in the group.
Pat McCrory isn't shy about rewarding big campaign donors with plum jobs in his administration. For example, his campaign chair Aldona Wos was selected as his Secretary for Health and Human Services. Wos, her family and family business employees gave more than $200,000 to the McCrory campaign.
Art Pope is NC's financier of the far right. He's bankrolled dozens of Republican candidates and campaigns. Now, McCrory has appointed him Deputy Budget Director — giving Pope unprecedented control over budget, revenue, and tax decisions in NC. Pope now has the power to force bare bones government by starving our state of revenues.
A new political nonprofit formed to "promote McCrory's priorities" is raising money by sponsoring an inauguration ball that competes with the Junior League Inauguration Ball — a North Carolina tradition that has longed raised money for local charities across the state.
Its the same as Bush did in 2000.
Imagine that...
Another Duke Energy rate
Another Duke Energy rate increase...I bet you weren't expecting that???
BlueNC is dedicated to making North Carolina a more progressive and prosperous state. If your intention is to disrupt this effort, please find somewhere else to express your opinions.

CRH Pounded by Weaker Outlook
DUBLIN, Ireland (TheStreet) -- American depositary receipts of CRH (CRH) were Tuesday's biggest laggard after the global construction materials producer offered a weaker-than-expected outlook.
CRH shares plummeted more than 18% in early trading, hitting a fresh 52-week low of $14.76, before rebounding somewhat. With an hour left in the trading session Tuesday the stock was down 15.2% to $15.29.
"Today's pullback reflects [CRH's] weaker guidance," Longbow Research analyst Garik Shmois told TheStreet, and that led to a negative read-through for industry peers as well.
ADRs of Cemex SAB (CX) fell 4.2% while shares of Vulcan Materials (VMC) lost 2.5% and Martin Marietta Materials (MLM) 4.6%. The Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US (VEU), an exchange-traded fund that counts CRH and Cemex among its holdings, fell 1.4%.
CRH pre-released its financial results in early July and indicated that EBITDA in the second half of the year would be an improvement year-over-year. Tuesday's report of official results for the six months ended June 30 caught Wall Street by surprise because the Irish company materially altered that view. CRH said 2010 earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization would be down by around 10% year-over-year, implying a flat-to down second half, Shmois explained. CRH's performance is driven sharply by a weaker construction situation in the U.S., Shmois said. Weaker-than-expected data released Tuesday by the National Association of Realtors did little to boost shareholders' confidence in CRH, though Shmois said home construction materials accounts for a relatively small percentage of its business.Select the service that is right for you!
