Michelin Guide Releases 2010 New York Edition
Filed under: Dining
Today, Michelin released The Michelin Guide 2010 New York City Restaurants, with five establishments receiving three stars, its highest rating. The top rated restaurants include Daniel, Jean Georges (above), Le Bernardin, Masa and Per Se.
There were six restaurants earning two stars and 44 restaurants that earned one star. Three stars represents "exception cuisine, worth a special journey" while two stars is for "excellent cuisine, worth a detour". One star, which is still an excellent rating, is defined as "a very good restaurant in its category".
To rate restaurants and hotels around the world, Michelin employs a rigorous selection process that is applied independently and consistently. Indeed, in each of the 23 countries where it inspects restaurants and hotels, the selections are made by anonymous, professional inspectors who are Michelin employees. The inspectors pay all their bills in full.
While the Michelin Guide is known around the world for its famous stars, these restaurant account for just 10% of the selection in the New York City guide. The guide also includes a wide diversity of establishments, and includes small restaurants that offer a high-quality dining experience at an affordable price.
One useful section features "Inspectors' Favorites for Good Value", including a total of 85 affordable restaurants that offer two dishes, and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less. There is also a list of 109 restaurants selected by its experts that offer a meal under $25.
"The Michelin Guide has long been respected and the stars are what people love to talk about in the culinary world," says Jean-Luc Naret, director of the Michelin Guides. "But the Guide is so much more. It's filled with a year's worth of notes from the team of inspectors who set out to ensure the Michelin Guide provides an excellent mix of what readers truly want--a wonderful dining recommendation from trusted experts."
The Michelin Guide New York City 2010 is the fifth edition since Michelin began reviewing restaurants in New York. Its cover price is $17.95.

Flexible Rails: Flex 3 on Rails 2
Flexible Rails
Flex 3 on Rails 2

The Essential Flex on Rails Cheat Sheet
Flexible Rails: Flex 3 on Rails 2
Simply put, Flex is the most productive way to build the UI of Rich Internet Applications, and Rails is a very productive way to rapidly build a database-backed CRUD application, thanks to ActiveRecord (the ORM layer of Rails) and thanks to the principles of Convention Over Configuration and DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself). This refcard shows you how to get started. It provides an overview of Flex and Rails, how they can be used together and then building a simple Flex + Rails application using XML over HTTPService to have the Flex client talk to a RESTful Rails server. Since we'll use RESTful Rails controllers, the Rails controller methods will also support the traditional HTML views.
Overview of Rails 2
Rails provides a standard three-tier architecture (presentation tier, model tier, persistence tier) as well as a Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. As shown in Figure 1, Rails takes care of everything between the web server and the database.
Figure 1.
Figure 1: Rails provides a standard three-tier architecture (presentation tier, model tier, persistence tier) as well as a Model-View-Controller architecture.
The typical sequence is as follows:
- A user visits a particular URL in their web browser (makes an HTTP request).
- This request goes over the Internet to the web server in which Rails is running.
- That web server passes the request to the routing code in Rails, which triggers the appropriate controller method call based on the routes defined in config\routes.rb.
- The controller method is called. It communicates with various ActiveRecord models (which are persisted to and retrieved from a database of your choosing). The controller method can then do one of two things:
- Bypass the view mechanism and do r endering directly via a call to the render method. This method can produce plain text (render :text => "foo"), XML (render :text => @task), and so on.
Overview of Flex 3
In Flex 3, you write code in MXML (XML files with a .mxml extension; M for Macromedia) and ActionScript (text files with a .as extension) files and compile them into a SWF file, which runs in the Flash player. This SWF is referenced by an HTML file, so that when a user with a modern web browser loads the HTML file, it plays the Flash movie (prompting the user to download Flash 9 if it's not present). The SWF contained in the web page can interact with the web page it's contained in and with the server it was sent from.
Flex 3 and Rails 2 together
Flex and Rails can be used together with XML over HTTPService or with Action Message Format. The XML over HTTPService approach is shown in Figure 2 below.
Figure 2.
The AMF waters are a bit muddier: there are currently three ways that Flex can talk to Rails using AMF and RemoteObject:
- RubyAMF
- WebORB for Rails
- BlazeDS (with Rails running on JRuby).
Flash 9? Are you kidding me?
The reference to Flash 9 earlier may have set off alarm bells in your head: Isn't Flash 9 somewhat new? How many people will be able to run my app? Well, while not everyone has Flash 9, most do: according to http://www.adobe.com/products/player_census/flashplayer/version_penetration.html Flash 9 has reached near ubiquity: 97.3% in US/Canada, 96.5% in Europe and 98.0% in Japan. This is better than Windows.
Installinnstalling Everything
To get started, various software packages need to be installed. The full instructions can be found in chapter 2 of Flexible Rails (Manning Publications). Here's what is needed:
- Ruby 1.8.6
- RubyGems 1.0.0 (or higher)
- Rails. 2.0.2 (or higher)
- Flex Builder 3
- SQLite
- The sqlite3 gem, installed by running this command: C:\>gem install sqlite3-ruby
Resource | URL | Notes |
RubyonRails | http://rubyonrails.org/down | |
HiveLogic | http://hivelogic.com/articles/2008/02/ruby-rails-leopard | |
SQLite | http://www.sqlite.org/download.html | On Windows, download sqlite-3_5_5.zip or higher and sqlitedll-3_5_5.zip or higher, and unzip both of them into C:\WINDOWS\system32 |
Building a Flex + Rails Application
The world doesn't need Yet Another Todo List, but let's build one. Unlike most Rails tutorials, we will assume you are using Windows. (Rails has "crossed the chasm", so this is now becoming the correct assumption.)
Open a command prompt or Terminal window and run the following commands:
C:\>rails todo
This installs the SQLite3 gem and then creates a new Rails application which by default uses the SQLite database. (The default in Rails 2.0.1 and below was MySQL.)
Next, create a couple of directories:
C:\>cd todo
C:\todo>mkdir app\flex
C:\todo>mkdir public\bin
Next, switch to Flex Builder 3 and create the new Flex project:
- Do File > New > Flex Project...
- Choose to create a new project named Todo in c:\todo
- Leave its type set to "Web application" and its "Application server type" set to None and click Next
- Set the Output folder of the Flex project to public\bin and click Next
- Set the "Main source folder" to app\flex, leave the "Main application file" as Todo.mxml and set the output folder to http://localhost:3000/bin and click Finish. Your new Flex project will be created. (Note that public isn't part of the path since it's the root; 3000 is the default port for the server).
We are using app\flex as the root of all our Flex code,in larger team environments it's advisable to create a Flex project as a sibling of the Rails app (say, c:\todoclient) and set its output folder to go inside c:\todo\public\bin. This way, different team members can use different IDEs for the client and server projects: for example, Aptana and Flex Builder are both Eclipse-based, and interesting things can happen when you nest projects.
Next, let's create a new Task resource using the now-RESTful scaffold command.
C:\todo>ruby script\generate scaffold Task name:string
Here we are creating a Task that has a name attribute, which is a string. Running this command generates the various Rails files, including the model, helper, controller, view templates, tests and database migration. We're going to make the simplest Todo list in history: Tasks have names, and nothing else. Furthermore, there are no users even, just a global list of tasks.
The Task model looks like this:
class Task < ActiveRecord::Base
Because the Task model extends (with <) ActiveRecord::Base, it can be mapped to the equivalent database tables. Because we also created the controllers and views with the script\generate scaffold command and ensured that we specified all the fields, we can use a prebuilt web interface to Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) them.
The CreateTasks migration that was created (in db\migrate\001_create_tasks.rb) looks like this:
class CreateTasks < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table :tasks do |t|
t.string :name
def self.down
drop_table :tasks
CreateTasks Class | Extends ActiveRecord::Migration |
Up method | Creates a new tasks table with the create_table method call, which takes a block that does the work |
Down method | Deletes it with the drop_table call |
In the up method, we specify the data types of each new column, such as string in our case, or boolean, integer or text. These are then mapped to the equivalent database data types: for example, boolean becomes a tinyint(1) in MySQL. The timestamps call adds two columns: created_at and updated_at, which Rails treats specially, ensuring that they're automatically set. This is often a good thing to have, so we'll leave them there even though they won't be needed in this build.
The TasksController (in app\controllers\tasks_controller.rb) looks like this:
class TasksController < ApplicationController
# GET /tasks
# GET /tasks.xml
def index
@tasks = Task.find(:all)
respond_to do format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @tasks }
# GET /tasks/1
# GET /tasks/1.xml
def show
@task = Task.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
mat.html # show.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @task }
# GET /tasks/new
# GET /tasks/new.xml
def new
@task = Task.new
respond_to do |format|
mat.html # new.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @task }
# GET /tasks/1/edit
def edit
@task = Task.find(params[:id])
# POST /tasks
# POST /tasks.xml
def cr
@task = Task.new(params[:task])
respond_to do |format|
if @task.save
flash[:notice] = 'Task was successfully created.'
format.html { redirect_to(@task) }
format.xml { render :xml => @task,
:status => :created, :location => @task }
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => @task.errors,
:status => :unprocessable_entity }
# PUT /tasks/1
# PUT /tasks/1.xml
def update
@task = Task.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
if @task.update_attributes(params[:task])
flash[:notice] = 'Task was successfully updated.'
format.html { redirect_to(@task) }
format.xml { head :ok }
format.html { render :action => "edit" }
format.xml { render :xml => @task.errors,
:status => :unprocessable_entity }
# DELETE /tasks/1
# DELETE /tasks/1.xml
def destroy
@task = Task.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to(tasks_url) }
format.xml { head :ok }
This new controller which was generated for us contains the seven RESTful controller methods, which are explained in the following table (inspired by David Heinemeier Hansson's Discovering a World of Resources on Rails presentation - media.rubyonrails.org/presentations/worldofresources.pdf, slide 7,as well as the table on p. 410 of Agile Web Development with Rails, 2nd ed. (The Pragmatic Programmers), and the tables in Geoffrey Grosenbach's REST cheat sheet http://topfunky.com/clients/peepcode/REST-cheatsheet.pdf):
# | Method | Sample URL paths | Pretend HTTP Method | Actual HTTP Method | Corres- ponding CRUD Method | Corres- ponding SQL Method |
1 | index | /tasks /tasks.xml |
2 | show | /tasks/1 /tasks/1.xml |
3 | new | /tasks/new /tasks/new.xml |
4 | edit | /tasks/1/edit | GET | GET | READ | SELECT |
5 | create | /tasks /tasks.xml |
6 | update | /tasks/1 /tasks/1.xml |
7 | destroy | /tasks/1 /tasks/1.xml |
Table 1: The seven standard RESTful controller methods
What's REST?
REST (Representational State Transfer) is a way of building web services that focuses on simplicity and an architecture style that is of the web. This can be described as a Resource Oriented Architecture (ROA); see RESTful Web Services published by O'Reilly Media for details. Briefly, the reason to use a RESTful design in Rails is that it helps us organize our controllers better, forces us to think harder about our domain, and gives us a nice API for free.
Next, we run the new migration that was created (CreateTasks) when we ran the scaffold command:
C:\todo>rake db:migrate
At this point we run the server:
C:\todo>ruby script\server
and play with creating, editing and deleting tasks.
- Go to http://localhost:3000/tasks/new to see an empty task list.
- Click the New link to go to http://localhost:3000/tasks/new.
- Create a new Task with a name of "drink coffee" and click Create.
- Go back to http://localhost:3000/tasks/new to see the task list with the new "drink coffee" task present.
Now, let's do something interesting and hook this up to Flex. Currently, the Todo.mxml file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/ 2006/mxml" layout="absolute"> </mx:Application>The top-level tag is mx:Application; the root of a Flex application is always an Application. The mx: part identifies the XML namespace that the Application component is from. By default, an Application uses an absolute layout, where you specify the x,y of each top level container and component.
What we want to build is the following application:
Figure 3: The Simple Todo Flex Application
We want the ability to create new tasks, delete tasks and rename them inline in the list. Furthermore, we want to do this in the least amount of code possible. Normally, I'd build this iteratively; but we'll build it all at once. Modify the Todo.mxml file to look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
width="100%" height="100%" layout="vertical"
backgroundGradientColors="[#000000, #CCCCCC]"
import mx.events.ListEvent;
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
private function createTask():void {
private function deleteTask(task:XML):void {
svcTasksDestroy.url = "/tasks/" + task.id + ".xml";
svcTasksDestroy.send({_method: "DELETE"});
private function updateSelectedTask(event:ListEvent): void {
var itemEditor:TextInput =
var selectedTask:XML = XML(event.itemRenderer.data);
if (selectedTask.name == itemEditor.text) return;
var params:Object = new Object();
params['task[name]'] = itemEditor.text;
params['_method'] = "PUT";
svcTasksUpdate.url = "/tasks/"+ selectedTask.id +".xml";
private function listTasks():void {
<mx:HTTPService id="svcTasksCreate" url="/tasks.xml"
contentType="application/xml" resultFormat="e4x"
method="POST" result="listTasks()">
<mx:HTTPService id="svcTasksList" url="/tasks.xml"
resultFormat="e4x" method="POST"/>
<mx:HTTPService id="svcTasksUpdate" resultFormat="e4x"
method="POST" result="listTasks()"/>
<mx:HTTPService id="svcTasksDestroy" resultFormat="e4x"
method="POST" result="listTasks()"/>
<mx:XMLListCollection id="tasksXLC"
<mx:Panel title="Simple Todo" width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:HBox width="100%" paddingLeft="5"
<mx:Label text="New Task"/>
<mx:TextInput id="newTaskTI" width="100%"
<mx:Button label="Create" click="createTask()"/>
<mx:List id="taskList" width="100%" height="100%"
editable="true" labelField="name"
<mx:ControlBar width="100%" horizontalAlign="center">
<mx:Button label="Delete" width="100%" height="30"
enabled="{taskList.selectedItem != null}"
This is a complete Flex application in 67 lines of code! Compile and run the application by clicking the green "play" button: you will see the screen shown in Figure 3.
A Quick Highlight Tour of this Code:
We use a vertical layout to make the components flow vertically. Other choices are horizontal (for horizontal flow) and absolute (which we saw before). The backgroundGradientColors specify the start and end of the gradient fill for the background.
We define a HTTPService svcTasksList, which does a GET to /tasks.xml (thus triggering the index action of the TasksController) and specifies a resultFormat of e4x so the result of the service can be handled with the new E4X XML API. We then take the lastResult of this service, which is an XML document, get its children (which is an XMLList of the tasks), and make this be the source of an XMLListCollection called tasksXLC. We do this with a binding to the source attribute. Similarly, we define svcTasksCreate, svcTasksUpdate and svcTasksDestroy to be used for the other CRUD operations.
We can pass data to Rails via data bindings using curly braces {} inside XML (as shown in svcTaskCreate) or by sending form parameters that Rails would be expecting (as shown in the updateSelectedTask method).
For svcTasksUpdate and svcTasksDestroy we are not setting the url property statically, but instead dynamically setting it to include the id of the task we are updating or destroying.
A hack: you can't send HTTP PUT or DELETE from the Flash player in a web browser, so we need to fake it. Luckily, since you can't send PUT or DELETE from HTML in a web browser either, Rails already has a hack in place we just need to know how to use it. Rails will look for a _method parameter in its params hash and, if there is one, use it instead of the actual HTTP method. So, if we do a form POST with a _method of PUT, Rails will pretend we sent an HTTP PUT. (If you're thinking that it's ironic that at the core of a "cleaner" architecture is a giant hack, well, you're not alone.) This _method can be added to a params Object (params['_method'] = "PUT";) or to an anonymous object (svcTasksDestroy.send({_method: "DELETE"});) If you're new to Flex, {} can be used for both anonymous object creation and for data binding. Think of an anonymous object like a hash in Ruby.

Agree with Laurel! Argh, I was so excited when I got an e-mail about this being back in stock, since I requested a girly t-shirt reprint. Why send me an e-mail at all if you're just going to reprint the hoody and not the t-shirt as well?!

Head coach J.T. Blair got a chance to scout the upcoming district opponent on Tuesday when the Timberwolves took on Leander in Cedar Parks district opener. Cedar Park and Leander resume their 3-game set this week. "They are good, Blair said of Cedar Park. The Mustangs are trying to establish some respect heading into the district. The Mustangs have been efficient on the mound and the defense is steadily improving. The Mustangs did not commit an error in the final three wins over the Kerrville Tivy Tournament. Marble Falls pitching has been solid. Cole Ridgely, Cody Goodman, Garrett Winslett and Stacy Heinatz are the candidates for the starting roles in the teams upcoming 3-game set. The Cedar Park series opens Tuesday at Cedar Park, returns to Marble Falls Wednesday for Game 2 and then concludes with a Thursday date at Cedar Park. The first two games are 7 p.m. starts. Game 3 is an afternoon game. Fridays clash with Burnet should be interesting between the two rivals.

About Robert III Stewart, King of Scots

He died 4 April 1406 at Rothesay Castle, Isle of Bute, Scotland. He was buried in Paisely Abbey, not Scone as was traditional for Kings of Scots. He was christened as John Stewart and also known by his Gaelic name and title of Roibert III Stiùbhairt, An Righ Bhacaigh and his Latin name and Title, Robertus Rex.

John, then styled Lord of Kyle, first appeared in the 1350s as the commander of a campaign in the lordship of Annandale to re-establish Scottish control over English occupied territory.[1] In 1363, John joined his father Robert the Steward along with the earls of Douglas and March in a failed insurrection against King David II. The reasons for the rebellion were varied. In 1362, David II supported several of his royal favourites in their titles to lands in the Stewart earldom of Monteith and thwarted Stewart claims to the earldom of Fife. The king's involvement with Margaret Logie (née Drummond) and soon to be his queen may also have represented a threat in the Steward's own earldom of Strathearn where the Drummonds also had interests, while Douglas and March mistrusted David's intentions towards them.[2]
These nobles were also unhappy at the king's squandering of funds provided to him for his ransom[3] and with the prospect that they could be sent to England as guarantors for the ransom payments. The dissension between the king and the Stewarts looked to have been settled before the end of spring 1367. On 31 May the Steward gave the earldom of Atholl to John, who by this time was already married to Annabella Drummond, the daughter of the queen's deceased brother, Sir John Drummond and (probably) Mary, heir of William Montefichet, lord of Auchterarder.[4] David II reinforced the position of John and Annabella by providing them with the earldom of Carrick on 22 June 1368 and the tacit approval of John as the king's probable heir.[5] A Stewart succession was suddenly endangered when David II had his marriage to Margaret annulled in March 1369 leaving the king free to re-marry and with the prospect of a Bruce heir.[6]
On 22 February 1371 David II (who was preparing to marry the earl of March's sister, Agnes Dunbar) unexpectedly died, presumably to the relief of both John and his father.[7] Robert was crowned at Scone Abbey on 27 March 1371 and before this date had given John—now styled Steward of Scotland—the ancestral lands surrounding the Firth of Clyde.[8] The manner in which the succession was to take place was first entailed by Robert I when female heirs were excluded and David II attempted unsuccessfully on several occasions to have the council change the succession procedure.[8] Robert II quickly moved to ensure the succession of John when the general council attending his coronation officially named Carrick as heir—in 1373 the Stewart succession was further strengthened when parliament passed entails defining the manner in which each of the king's sons could inherit the crown.[9] After the coronation John Dunbar who had received the lordship of Fife from David II now resigned the title so that the king's second son, Robert, earl of Monteith could receive the earldom of Fife—Dunbar was compensated with the provision of the earldom of Moray.[10]
A son, David, the future Duke of Rothesay, was born to Carrick and Annabella on 24 October 1378. In 1381, Carrick was calling himself 'lieutenant for the marches' sustained by his connections to border magnates such as his brother-in-law, James Douglas son of William, Earl of Douglas who he succeeded in 1384.[8]
Lieutenant of the kingdom
Robert II's policy of building up Stewart domination in Scotland through the advancement of his sons saw Carrick as the pre-eminent Stewart magnate south of the Forth-Clyde line just as his younger brother Alexander, earl of Buchan, lord of Badenoch and Ross was in the north.[11] Buchan's use of cateran supporters drew criticism from Northern nobles and prelates and demonstrated Robert II's inability or reluctance to control his son and resulted in him losing council support.[12] The king's failure to take a leading role in prosecuting the war with England and Buchan's abuse of royal power in the north was the backdrop to the general council meeting at Holyrood Abbey in November 1384 where the decision was taken to sideline the king and provide the ruling powers to Carrick.[13][14] In July 1385, under Carrick's lieutenancy, a Scottish army that included a French force commanded by Admiral Jean de Vienne penetrated into the north of England without any serious gains but provoked a damaging retaliatory attack by Richard II.[8] In 1385, the general council sharply condemned Buchan's behaviour[15] and sat with the intention of maneuvering Carrick into firmly intervening in the north.[16] Despite this, Carrick did not bring Buchan under control and many of the lieutenant's supporters although pleased at the resumption of hostilities with England were unhappy at the continued northern lawlessness.[17] Carrick had been made the king's lieutenant partly on the need to curb Buchan's excesses yet despite this by February 1387 Buchan had become even more powerful and influential when he was appointed Justiciar north of the Forth.[16] ... considering that there are, and have been now for a considerable time, great and numerous defects in the governing of the kingdom by reason of the king's disposition, both by reason of age and for other reasons, and the infirmity of the lord his firstborn son ... have amicably chosen Sir [Robert Stewart], earl of Fife, second-born son of the king, and brother german of the same lord the firstborn son, [as] guardian of the kingdom under the king, ... for putting into effect justice and keeping the law internally, and for the defence of the kingdom with the king's force, as set out before, against those attempting to rise up as enemies. —Records of the Parliaments of Scotland to 1707, 1 December 1388, Edinburgh. http://www.rps.ac.uk/ A series of truces halted any further significant fighting but on 19 April 1388, English envoys sent to Scotland to again extend the ceasefire returned to Richard's court empty-handed—by 29 April Robert II was conducting a council in Edinburgh to authorise renewed conflict with England.[18] Although the Scots army defeated the English at the Battle of Otterburn in Northumberland in August 1388, its leader James, earl of Douglas was killed. Douglas died childless triggering a series of claims on his estate—Carrick backed his brother-in-law Malcolm Drummond, the husband of Douglas's sister while Carrick's brother Fife took the side of Sir Archibald Douglas, lord of Galloway who held an entail on his kinsman's estates and who ultimately succeeded to the earldom.[19] Fife, with his powerful Douglas ally together with those loyal to the king ensured at the December 1388 council meeting that the lieutenancy of Scotland would pass from Carrick (who had recently been badly injured from a horse-kick) to Fife.[17][20] There was general approval of Fife's intention to properly resolve the situation of lawlessness in the north and in particular the activities of Buchan his younger brother.[17] Buchan was stripped of his position of justiciar which would soon be given to Fife's son, Murdoch Stewart. In January 1390 Robert II was in the north-east perhaps to strengthen the now changed political outlook in the north of the kingdom.[21] He returned to Dundonald Castle in Ayrshire in March where he died on 19 April and was buried at Scone on 25 April.[22]
In diebus illis non erat lex in Scocia fed quilibet potencior minorem oppressit et totum regnum fuit unum latrocinium. Homicidia depredaciones et incendia et cetera maleficia remanserunt inpunita et justicia utlegata extra regni terminos exulavit.
In those days there was no law in Scotland, but the strong oppressed the weak, and the whole kingdom was one den of thieves. Homicides, robberies, fire-raisings, and other misdeeds remained unpunished, and justice seemed banished beyond the kingdom's bounds.
—The Chartularium Episcopatus Moraviensis written at Elgin Cathedral for the year 1398[23][24] In May 1390 parliament granted John permission to change his regnal name to Robert, probably in part to maintain the link back to Robert I but also to disassociate himself from King John Balliol.[25] The four month delay in the crowning of Robert III can be seen as a period when Fife and his affinity sought to ensure their future positions and which also saw Buchan's opportunistic attack on Elgin Cathedral, settling an old score with the bishop of Moray and possibly also a protest at Fife's reappointment as the king's lieutenant.[26] In 1392, Robert III strengthened the position of his son David, now earl of Carrick, when he endowed him with a large annuity that allowed the young prince to build up his household and affinity and then in 1393 regained his right to direct rule when the general council decided that Fife's lieutenancy should end and that Carrick now of age should assist his father.[27] This independence of action was demonstrated in 1395–6 when he responded to Carrick's unauthorised marriage to Elizabeth Dunbar, daughter of George earl of March by ensuring its annulment.[8] The king appears to have also taken over the conduct of foreign affairs, preserving the peace with Richard II and managing to increase the power of the Red Douglas Earl of Angus in the southeast of the country as a counter-balance to Fife's Black Douglas ally. He further showed his authority when in an attempt to reduce inter-clan feuding and lawlessness, he arranged and oversaw a gladiatorial limited combat between the clans of Kay and Quhele (Clan Chattan) in Perth on 28 April 1396.[28] David of Carrick progressively acted independently of his father taking control of the Stewart lands in the south-west while maintaining his links with the Drummonds of his mother and all at a time when Fife's influence in central Scotland remained strong.[29]
The king was increasingly blamed for the failure to pacify the Gaelic areas in west and north. The general council held in Perth in April 1398 criticised the king's governance and empowered his brother Robert and his son David—now respectively the Dukes of Albany and Rothesay—to lead an army against Donald, Lord of the Isles and his brothers.[8] In November 1398, an influential group of magnates and prelates met at Falkland Castle that included Albany, Rothesay, Archibald, earl of Douglas, Albany's son Murdoch, justiciar North of the Forth along with the bishops Walter of St Andrews and Gilbert of Aberdeen—the outcome of this meeting manifested itself at the council meeting held in January 1399 when the king was forced to surrender power to Rothesay for a period of three years.[30] The kin of the border earls took advantage of the confusion in England after the deposition of Richard II by Henry duke of Lancaster and harried and forayed into England causing much damage and taking Wark Castle around 13 October 1399.[31] A far reaching dispute between Rothesay and George Dunbar, earl of March occurred when Rothesay, rather than remarrying Elizabeth Dunbar as previously agreed, decided to marry Mary Douglas, daughter of the earl of Douglas—March, enraged by this wrote to Henry IV on 18 February 1400 and by July had entered Henry's service.[32] In 1401, Rothesay took on a more assertive and autonomous attitude, circumventing proper procedures, unjustifiably appropriating sums from the customs of the burghs on the east coast before provoking further animosity when he confiscated the revenues of the temporalities of the vacant bishopric of St Andrews.[33] Rothesay had also in conjunction with his uncle, Alexander Stewart, earl of Buchan, confronted Albany's influence in central Scotland—as soon his lieutenancy expired in 1402 Rothesay was arrested and imprisoned in Albany's Falkland Castle where he died in March 1402.[34] Rothesay's death probably lay with Albany and Douglas who would have looked upon the possibility of the young prince acceding to the throne with great apprehension—they certainly fell under suspicion but were cleared of all blame by a general council, 'where, by divine providence and not otherwise, it is discerned that he departed from this life.' [35][36] His body wes had than to Paslay, And wes entyrit in that Abbay, The quhilk his elderis devotely, Fondyt, and dowyt rechely.
His body was taken to Paisley, And was interred in that Abbey, The which his forefathers devoutly, Founded, and endowed richly. —Andrew of Wyntoun, prior of Loch Leven[37] Following Rothesay's death—with the restoration of the lieutenancy to Albany and the Scottish defeat at the battle of Humbleton—Robert III experienced almost total exclusion from political authority and was limited to his lands in the west.[38] By late 1404 Robert, with the aid of his close councillors Henry Sinclair, earl of Orkney, Sir David Fleming and Henry Wardlaw, had succeeded in re-establishing himself and intervened in favour of Alexander Stewart, the earl of Buchan's illegitimate son, who was in dispute with Albany over the earldom of Mar.[39] Robert III again exhibited his new resolve when in December 1404 he created a new regality in the Stewartry[40] for his sole remaining son and heir James now earl of Carrick—an act designed to prevent these lands falling into Albany's hands.[41] By 28 October 1405 Robert III had returned to Dundonald Castle in Ayrshire. With the king's health failing, it was decided in the winter of 1405–6 to send the young prince to France out of the reach of Albany.[42] Despite this, the manner of James's flight from Scotland was unplanned. In February 1406, the 12 year-old James together with Orkney and Fleming at the head of a large group of followers left the safety of Bishop Wardlaw's protection in St Andrews and journeyed through the hostile Douglas territories of east Lothian—an act probably designed to demonstrate James's royal endorsement of his custodians but also a move by his custodians to further their own interests in the traditional Douglas heartlands.[43] Events went seriously wrong for James and he had to escape to the Bass Rock in the Firth of Forth along with the earl of Orkney after his escorts were attacked by James Douglas of Balvenie and which resulted in Sir David Fleming's death.[44] Their confinement on the rock was to last for over a month before a ship from Danzig, en route for France picked them up.[45] On 22 March 1406 the ship was taken by English pirates off Flamborough Head who delivered James to King Henry IV of England. Robert III had moved to Rothesay castle where, after hearing of his son's captivity, died 4 April 1406 and was buried in the Stewart foundation abbey of Paisley.[46]
Historiography Abbot Walter Bower reported that Robert III described himself as "the worst of kings and the most miserable of men". Gordon Donaldson in his general history Scottish Kings (1967) agrees and writes of the first two Stewart kings "that a famous dynasty, which was to produce so many men of remarkable ability ... made a somewhat pedestrian beginning". He immediately qualifies this statement with "it is true that the sources, both record and narrative, are scanty". He goes further and explains "admittedly, no attempt has yet been made to bring the resources of modern historical research to bear on Robert II and Robert III ... but it is beyond the bounds of probability that even if this is done either of them will emerge as a man who did much positively to shape Scottish history."[47] When Robert III re-established his personal rule in 1393 Donaldson characterises it as a period of anarchy and of a king who couldn't control his brothers Albany and Buchan nor his son Rothesay.[48] Ranald Nicholson agrees with Donaldson in his Scotland: The Later Middle Ages (1974) and describes Robert III as a failure, like his father, because he wasn't dominant. Nicholson's opinion was that in his period as lieutenant in the 1380s, Robert (John, earl of Carrick) was incapable of dealing with the breakdown of law and order citing the number of legal cases. The lameness of Carrick after being kicked by a horse was explained by Nicholson as the excuse needed to have him replaced by his brother Robert, earl of Fife as the king's lieutenant. Nicholson writes "nothing much was to be hoped for in the heir apparent" and goes on to blame Robert III for the destruction of Forres and Elgin despite the lieutenancy of Fife at the time. Andrew Barrell in his book Medieval Scotland (2000) puts forward that the first two Stewart kings "had difficulty in asserting themselves, partly because their dynasty was new to kingship and needed to establish itself".[49] Robert III's period of personal rule from 1393 was "disastrous" according to Barrell, and was exemplified by the king's failure to re-take the royal fortress of Dumbarton.[50] Barrell's final assessment of Robert III was of a man crippled in body and incapable or averse to personally confronting Albany but sought to do so through promoting the status of his sons, and even then he failed.[51] Alexander Grant in Independence and Nationhood (1984) found Robert III to be "probably Scotland's least impressive king". Grant puts this into perspective and writes that it is notable that Robert III's reign could have been worse compared to the turmoil and violence experienced in England and France when ruled by weak kings—even on Robert's death, Scotland didn't descend into open civil war but was restricted to positioning among the royal family and its magnate groupings.[52] Grant, in The New Cambridge Medieval History, explains that the 13th century Scottish kings ruled with the endorsement of practically all of the political classes but that none of the 14th century kings, from Robert I to Robert III, did so and retained loyalty by the use of patronage. The benefits of this were outweighed by the disadvantages—alienated lands reduced crown income, endowments had the same effect, the estates granted to nobles and church often in regality led to a loss of royal attendance within these territories and contributed to a diminishment of authority.[53] Michael Lynch suggests that the earlier 20th century historians made hasty evaluations of both Robert II and Robert III, when they characterised them as "pathetically weak personalities" and their reigns as "nineteen years of senility and sixteen of infirmity". Lynch also makes the point that the complaints made in the later chronicles of lawlessness and disturbance in the country was mainly confined to the north with the king's brother Alexander, lord of Badenoch and earl of Buchan at its root. The death of John, lord of the Isles heralded a state of dissension between the lordship and the crown that was to last for two generations and which even Robert III's successor James I was unable to deal with properly.[54] Lynch states that much of the troubles during Robert III's reign derived from the sharp deterioration of the royal revenues. The unruliness of northern Scotland was the result of competing factions within the royal family—Lynch suggests that the weakness in kingship before 1406 "can be exaggerated" citing Buchan's enforced appearance at Robert III's council to answer for his incendiary attack on Elgin and its cathedral and Albany's obtainment of a submission from the lord of the Isles.[55] In Stephen Boardman's The Early Stewart Kings, the younger Robert, then John, earl of Carrick, is shown to be an energetic ambitious man and fully engaged in the running of the country, at the centre of Anglo-Scottish diplomacy, and who became the pre-eminent magnate in Scotland and whose political importance south of the Forth would eclipse that of his father's.[56] Boardman describes how in 1384 he callously engineered the council to remove his father from power and to place it in his hands.[57] Many of the problems of Robert III's rule, Boardman argues, stemmed from the death of his brother-in-law and close ally James, earl of Douglas at Otterburnn in 1388 when his deliberately constructed and powerful affinity south of the Forth crumbled. That same year Carrick lost the lieutenancy to his brother Robert earl of Fife that was, Boardman suggests, a blow to the future king's standing and one from which he would not fully recover.[58] According to Boardman, when Robert became king in 1390 he was the victim of his father's style of government characterised by Robert II's creation of his sons, sons-in-law, and other major territorial nobles as powerful magnates to whom he delegated extensive authority—as a result Robert III's brothers refused to act simply as liegemen to the king. Robert III, already weakened by council when he ascended the throne was in the end completely subordinated to the magnatial power of Albany and Douglas.[59]

Star Wars Day, May The 4th Be With You
May 4th is Star Wars Day, so yeah, Happy Star Wars Day. You're supposed to run around telling everyone, "May the 4th be with you" because it's a Star Wars related pun, but I'm just gonna start drinking after breakfast instead. And since tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo I probably won't start making sense again till Thursday afternoon at the earliest. Unless you're convinced I've never made sense in which case you're right -- I don't mess with change, son, I'm only after that paper money. DOLLAR DOLLAR BILLS, BOOOOOI! Wow, I can't believe I typed that. Yes, yes I can (I skipped breakfast).

For Immediate Release
Contact: Wendy Malloy,
SAM Public Relations Washington Art Consortium Donates Over 200 Safeco Art Collection Artworks to Museum of Northwest Art & Museum of Glass
In 2010, Safeco® Insurance, a member of Liberty Mutual Group, made a historic gift of over 800 works to the Washington Art Consortium from the Safeco Art Collection, the oldest and most renowned corporate collection of exclusively Northwest art. The Consortium spread these artworks to their members across the state, distributing them to each museum's permanent collection. After understanding that some of the artworks from this donation did not meet the collecting parameters of its member museums, the Consortium sought out other museums in Washington State. Instead of selling the artworks, the Consortium decided that offering them to other museums in the region would better forward both their and Safeco Art Collection's respective missions. "By placing artwork in permanent collections across the state, the Washington Art Consortium is honoring the history and Northwest artists of the original Safeco art collection," said Matt Nickerson, president of Safeco Insurance. "We are thrilled to see a legacy of art investment continue to enrich our local communities." Along with the gift of art, the Consortium is also donating a monetary gift to offset administrative costs and help provide ongoing care for the collection. Both donations not only ensure the artworks will be preserved into the future, but also continues the Safeco legacy throughout our Northwest communities. "The Museum is grateful for this important gift which strengthens its holdings in Northwest glass…" said David Francis, Curator at the Museum of Glass. Christopher Shainin, Executive Director at the Museum of Northwest Art, added, "These new additions will highlight the strength and diversity of Northwest art, and deepen MoNA's current collection. We look forward to the public's enjoyment of these works and to the many discussions they will encourage." The donation includes works of art from artists such as Margaret Camfferman, Everett Dupen, Paul Havas, William Hoppe, LaVerne Erickson Krause, and Richard Royal. A portion of the donated artwork will be included in the Museum of Northwest Art's exhibition Reflections—beginning June 29, 2013. "As a Washington-based company, Safeco hoped that this gift would stay in our Northwest communities," said Patricia Leach, Consortium Board President. "The Washington Art Consortium is proud to fulfill that wish. We strongly believe in both the Museum of Northwest Art's and Museum of Glass' ability to display and steward these artworks for generations to come." About Safeco InsuranceIn business since 1923 and based in Seattle, Safeco sells insurance to drivers and homeowners through a network of independent agents and brokers in eight regions throughout the U.S. Safeco is part of Liberty Mutual Agency Markets, a business unit of Liberty Mutual Group, consisting of property and casualty and specialty insurance carriers that distribute their products and services primarily through independent agents and brokers. Liberty Mutual Group ranks 86th on the Fortune 500 list of the largest U.S. corporations based on 2008 revenues. About the Washington Art ConsortiumThe Washington Art Consortium (WAC) is a unique non-profit cooperative comprised of the seven major art museums located in four main urban centers and three primary universities in Washington State. The first organization of its type in the nation, the Consortium began in 1975 when its founder, Seattle philanthropist and modern art collector Virginia Wright, worked with five Washington State museums to apply for separate grants to the National Endowment for the Arts for funds to purchase art. The idea was novel and ambitious: an art collection that would not belong to one museum, but would be jointly held by many. Today the Washington Art Consortium lends it shared art collections to members and non-members alike.Members: Henry Art Gallery, University of Washington, Seattle; Museum of Art, Washington State University, Pullman; Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture, Spokane; Seattle Art Museum, Seattle; Tacoma Art Museum, Tacoma; Western Gallery, Western Washington University, Bellingham; and Whatcom Museum of History and Art, Bellingham. About the Museum of Northwest ArtThe Museum of Northwest art was founded in 1981 by Art Hupy, originally to exhibit the work of four artists with strong connections to the Skagit Valley: Guy Anderson, Kenneth Callahan, Morris Graves, and Mark Tobey. Its mission has since broadened to collect, preserve, exhibit, and interpret the art of the Northwest through a variety of exhibition, education, and publication programs. For more information, visit www.museumofnwart.org About the Museum of GlassThe Museum of Glass provides a dynamic leaning environment to appreciate the medium of glass through creative experiences, collections, and exhibitions. The Museum exhibition schedule includes works by internationally known artists who illuminate trends in contemporary art.

Join the RASCALS Foundation for ALS Awareness Month at the big 5K Walk and Run at Tower Grove Park in St. Louis, Sunday May 4, 2014.
Join the RASCALS Foundation for ALS Awareness Month at the big 5K Walk and Run at Tower Grove Park in St. Louis, Sunday May 4, 2014.
In a new study published in Nature Genetics, University of Pennsylvania researchers and colleagues have made inroads into the mechanism by which ALS acts. Working with a powerful fruit fly model of the disease, they found a way of reducing disease toxicity that slows the dysfunction of neurons and showing that a parallel mechanism can reduce toxicity in mammalian cells. Their discoveries offer the possibility of a new strategy for treating ALS.
While the size of this study is small, the ability of the specific biomarkers used to predict ALS prognosis suggests that the approach holds promise.
Research led by King's College London has identified a new genetic variant, located on chromosome 17, associated with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) – the most common form of motor neurone disease (MND).
For patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the simple act of breathing is often a tough thing to do. Now, these patients have new hope, as a device has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that may help patients to breathe more easily without a ventilator.
Respiratory failure is one of the major complications associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The quest for alternative approaches for treating respiratory failure has led to the study, and subsequent FDA approval, of diaphragm pacing for use in ALS patients.
"We are very excited to announce the selection of IMS-088 as ImStar's lead ALS compound. As we continue with preclinical development next year, we hope to establish IMS-088 as a safe and effective new drug candidate for ALS," said Jean-Pierre Julien, ImStar's chief scientific officer.
According to a post hoc analysis, a greater percentage of patients receiving NP001 experienced a halt in disease progression which reached statistical significance when compared to the combination of concurrent and matched historical (placebo) controls. The high dose of NP001 (2mg/kg) halted progression in 27% of patients compared to 11% of patients on placebo. Further, NP001 was found to be safe and well-tolerated in the study.
Cytokinetics will elaborate on the clinical trial design and include enrollment and baseline demographics data from BENEFIT-ALS (Blinded Evaluation of Neuromuscular Effects and Functional Improvement with Tirasemtiv in ALS), which is evaluating tirasemtiv, a novel mechanism skeletal muscle activator, as a potential treatment for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
The ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI), together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Anelixis Therapeutics, announced today that it has formed a research partnership with Neurimmune to advance potential treatments for ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

In a medium saucepan, place 3 cups water and the walnuts and bring to a boil. Add the sugar and boil for 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the walnuts soak in the sugar syrup for 2 hours. Drain well and let the walnuts dry for 2 hours. (If you want to hasten the drying process, spread out on a cookie sheet and place in a 350°F oven for 3 minutes.)
Heat the vegetable oil to 350°F. And deep-fry the walnuts until they are brown, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the walnuts. Remove the walnuts and cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
Nutritional information is based on 8 servings.

When are applications for a fellowship due? If I have already received a fellowship, can I apply again in a subsequent year? Can co-op students apply to the fellowship program? If I receive financial aid, can I accept a fellowship? Are funds available to support travel to meetings? Can I conduct part of my research off campus? Where should references send recommendation letters to? When are applications for a fellowship due? Applications and letters of recommendation for the Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program are due February 5, 2013. For other research fellowship program deadlines, please see the sponsoring college's website (COSAM Undergraduate Research Fellowship, College of Agriculture, College of Liberal Arts). If I have already received a fellowship, can I apply again in a subsequent year? Although not common, fellowship renewal for a second year is possible. A new application must be submitted and a written report or copy of an article submitted for publication must be included with the application. Can co-op students apply to the fellowship program? Co-op students who have completed their co-op work obligations by the end of Spring semester may apply for a fellowship beginning in the Summer semester. Can a student accept an Undergraduate Research Fellowship and a research fellowship from another school or college on campus, such as COSAM or CMB? Because the time commitment expected for the UGR Fellows is significant, fellow are not permitted to hold additional research fellowships from other schools and colleges at Auburn University. However, fellows can apply for research fellowships sequentially. For instance, a student could hold a UGR fellowship beginning in the Summer Semester and ending in the Spring Semester, and then hold a CMB research fellowship for the following Summer Semester. If I receive financial aid, can I accept a fellowship? Students receiving financial aid are welcome to compete for an UGR fellowship. Specific questions regarding the stipend and the student's financial aid ceiling should be directed to the Director of Undergraduate Research. Are funds available to support travel to meetings? A small allotment of $200 is available to support student travel to allow the fellow to present research results at a meeting or conference. Additional funds may be available through the OVPR, the student's department or college, or the Honors College. Can I conduct part of my research off campus? Fellows are permitted to conduct a portion of their research at an off campus site, such as a federal laboratory, other university, library, or field site. A local mentor, however, is still required. Where do I send my letters of recommendation? Letters of recommendation should be sent via e-mail attachment (Word or PDF) directly from the referee to the Director of Undergraduate Research (firstname.lastname@example.com). They are due at the same time as the application. |

VIDEO: Trailer for ShaqDown - Shaquille O'Neal Launches His First Action Game on Mobile at CES
One Spear Entertainment announced the launch of ShaqDown today at the opening of the 2013 International CES, the world's largest consumer electronics show. ShaqDown is a 2D, side scrolling beat 'em up game available on iOS and Android. The game was developed by award-winning game studio Hiptic Games.
ShaqDown is set in a dystopian future where mankind has been mostly wiped out by a zombie outbreak. Years passed, and, just when the world thought the zombies had died out and mankind had won, the virus that caused the outbreak mutated and created a new form of evil -- the Mutant Zombies. In the game, Shaq has friends that help him in his battle against the Mutant Zombies, including 3-Time World Champion wrestler and Olympic Coach, Lee Kemp.
As a lifelong gamer and successful entertainment icon, O'Neal has been researching the gaming sector for several years looking for the right entry point. "I've always liked the mobile gaming space," O'Neal said. "As a father, I've seen how much time my children spend playing different games and thought ShaqDown would be a cool, entertaining game for kids of all ages."
The ShaqDown App is available for $0.99 from the App Store on iPhone and iPad, or at:www.itunes.com/appstore and via the Google Play Store at http://play.google.com for Android smart phones and tablets. The game is available on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch as well as Android devices in six languages including English, Mandarin Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Japanese, and Spanish. The ShaqDown trailer can be viewed at: http://www.shaqdown.com.
