Since the signing of the National Cancer Act in 1971 there has been enormous growth in our understanding of cancer biology and we are beginning to see the application of this knowledge to develop improved treatments for cancer. Faculty in the Pharmacology Department are at the forefront of this research with the broad goal of developing a detailed understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms that drive cancer cell behavior and then applying this understanding to develop better, more tailored treatments for cancer. This concept, which exemplifies the idea of personalized medicine, is pursued in close collaboration with our colleagues in the University of Colorado Cancer Center to ensure that discoveries in the Department can be rapidly translated to the clinic.
Specific areas of cancer biology research in the Department include the study of mechanisms of cancer drug resistance, metastasis and tumor cell growth and death using cell biological, structural, biochemical, genetic and bioinformatics approaches. Additionally we have a major emphasis on the development of methods to identify gene expression patterns and other markers that predict which patients will be most likely to benefit from treatment with a particular anti-cancer drug.

The perfect apple pie is a bit like a movie-star crush- so delicious and tempting, yet so unattainable.When I set out to make my first apple pie years ago, it was pretty scary. There were so many things to watch out for. The fat had to be really cold. It had to mix in with the flour in "pea-sized" pieces (impossible!). The apples had to be the right kind.
Meanwhile, there was so much that could go wrong. You could make the pie dough too sticky or too dry, and either way it would be hard to roll and transfer to the pie plate. The apples could throw out too many juices, making a watery mess in your pie plate and turning even a perfect crust soggy. Why, even the temperature outside could sabotage your best intentions– if it happened to be too warm, good luck with keeping the fat from melting into the dough before its time!
Needless to say, the first few times something always appeared to go wrong, no matter how hard I tried. Still, Desi, my very own apple-pie fanatic, seemed to enjoy them, and I kept at it.
Eventually, as with everything, practice began to make things just a bit easier. This past weekend I felt bold enough to try my hand at making a pie that I'd modified in many ways to make this sinfully rich dish as nutritious as possible. After all, if you're going to ingest the calories, why not put them to work for you?
An apple pie is fairly easy to adapt to a vegan kitchen While many recipes, including this one which I adapted from the Joy of Cooking, tout the flavor that butter brings to the crust, traditional recipes have usually called for shortening. And the availability of zero-trans-fat vegetable shortening, which has less saturated fat than butter, makes the choice easier. Shortening also produces a flakier crust because it remains solid at room temperature, unlike butter. I would guess substituting half the shortening with a vegan butter proxy like Earth Balance would also work.
I substituted the all-purpose flour typically used in the crust with whole-wheat pastry flour- I find that the whole-wheat pastry flour, in addition to being nutritionally superior, adds a great, nutty taste. I also used maple syrup instead of sugar, which added a richness that more than compensated for the lack of butter.
As you can see, I tried my hand at making a lattice top- maybe the second time I've tried one. The end result wasn't fabulous visually, but it wasn't bad either. What's more, it tasted delicious. And that was the proof of the puddin'…or in this case, the pie!
Apple Pie
- 2 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
- 1 cup zero trans-fat vegetable shortening
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Iced water
- 5-6 medium Golden Delicious Apples , sliced thin
- 1 cup maple syrup (you can cut down on this by about 1/4 cup if the apples are sweet enough. Mine were a bit tangy)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp powdered cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp powdered cardamom
- 1/2 tsp powdered nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp powdered cloves
- 1/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
- Mix together the dry ingredients.
- Break the shortening into small lumps and add to the flour.
- Using a fork, cut in the larger-sized pieces of shortening until you have some small lumps (pea-sized or smaller) dispersed through the flour.
- Add iced water one tablespoon at a time and mix with the fork until the dough comes together in a ball. (You'll be better off erring on the side of a bit too sticky versus too dry here.)
- Divide the dough into half, shape into discs, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- Mix all the ingredients for the filling together and set aside for about 15 minutes, turning them around once in a while so the apples soften which will make it easier to fit them inside the pie pan.
- Take one of the discs of the pie dough and, working on a floured surface, roll out to slightly wider than the diameter of a 9-inch pie plate. Turn the crust often while rolling to ensure it doesn't stick.
- Transfer the crust to a pie plate. Refrigerate while you get the rest of the pie together.
- Now roll out the other crust and, using a pizza cutter, cut into 10 strips.
- Remove the refrigerated pie crust (in the pie plate and pour the apple filling into it, adjusting with a ladle to ensure it is evenly spread.
- To form the lattice, place half the strips across the pie, at roughly one-inch intervals. Fold back alternate strips and place a strip across those already in place. Unfold the alternate strips, fold back the remaining strips, and place another strip across the pie. Continue doing this until you've used up all the strips.
- Using your fingers, pinch together the overhanging dough at the edge of the plate. You can try your hand at making a prettier edge by pressing down the edges with the tines of a fork.
- Brush the top of the pie with a mixture of 1 tbsp maple syrup and 1 tbsp soy milk. This gives the pie a lovely glaze when baked.
- Place in a preheated 425-degree oven and bake 30 minutes.
- Slide a baking sheet under the pie and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue to cook for another 30 minutes until you see juices bubbling through the lattice.
- Remove and cool thoroughly on a rack before cutting into wedges. It will take about 3-4 hours for the pie to cool completely. I know that's too long to wait for pie, but believe me, it takes that much time for the juices to thicken.

Summary Meeting Notes: June 5, 2013 Infrastructure Equity PEG Meeting
Summary Meeting Notes
Infrastructure Equity Policy Expert Group
Meeting Date: June 5, 2013
Time: 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon
PEG Attendees: Susan Aldrich, Roger Anthony, Roger Averbeck, Matt Brown, Alex Deley, Justin Dollard, Liz Gatti (by phone), Karyn Hanson,Jackeline Luna Acosta, Jeff Leighton, Karen Meyer, Shoshanah Oppenheim, Midge Purcell, Sara Collier-Weiner.
Other Attendees: Courtney Duke,Denver Igarta, Patricia Neighbor & Sara Schooley (PBOT); Debbie Bischoff (BPS).
PEG Lead: Bob Glascock
Facilitator: Andrée Tremoulet, Commonworks Consulting
View the original agenda, including materials, for this meeting.
Welcome (5 minutes)
Presenter: Andrée Tremoulet, Facilitator
Summary: Andree Tremoulet welcomed everyone and outlined the purposes of the meeting: a) to identify the IE PEG's remaining topics and schedule; b) to review and finalize the IE PEG Summary Memo; and c) to discuss local street design and connectivity in context of the Transportation Systems Plan.
Remaining Topics (5 minutes)
Presenter: Bob Glascock, Bureau of Planning and Sustainability
Materials: schedule
Summary: Bob Glascock reviewed the upcoming schedule for the IE PEG for July through September. July will focus on the infrastructure project selection process and continue the review of working maps through an Infrastructure Equity lens (with a transportation health equity presentation). The working map review will also continue in August. September may be a meeting that includes members of all the PEGs to introduce the Draft Part 2 and the schedule of public workshops in the fall.
Finalize IE PEG Summary Memo
Presenter: Andree Tremoulet, Facilitator
Materials: Overview, Draft Memo, Draft Memo in Track Changes Mode
Summary: Andree Tremoulet gave an overview of the edits made to the draft IE PEG memo based on the member feedback given at the May meeting. Some highlights of the changes include – a) added a theme focused on implementation, including a recommendation to significantly revise Chapter 8; b) added a new theme focused on the urban design framework and the growth scenarios; c) added language focused on establishing what is meant by a basic level of service; d) added language related to the importance of making information transparent; e) expanded the section about the affordability of the costs of infrastructure.
The PEG used red, yellow and green polling cards to indicate how satisfied they were with the revised memo. The majority indicated that they were satisfied (green cards), and those who had additional recommendations for changes (yellow cards) expressed their ideas, summarized as follows:
- Theme 7, Implementation: Who does the monitoring and assessment? Is that clear in the memo?
- Theme 5, Costs of Infrastructure: Who constitutes "all Portlanders"? Does the definition in the Plan apply here? What about residents of outlying cities who benefit fromPortland's services? Also, there are residents ofPortland who are paying for services that they aren't receiving (e.g. storm water management inSW Portland). Those who pay for citywide services should receive them.
- Theme 4, Authentic Involvement: The revisions stop short of full communication. It appears to be very one-way (City to resident). It should be clear that Chapter 1 needs to involve more full participation and embody many of the principles and practices developed by PIAC. The IE PEG memo doesn't seem to capture the full breadth of the key factors necessary for effective engagement and participation.
- Theme 6, Gentrification: While it is important to consider the potential gentrification impacts of new infrastructure on communities, there is not yet the internal expertise within each bureau to do a full analysis at this at this time. There is a need for internal capacity building, and others should be involved in helping to develop that expertise. We want to move toward being able to do this as a City, rather than at a bureau level.
Staff will update the memo to reflect the additional feedback. Any final suggestions should be submitted to Bob Glascock by noon on Thursday, June 7. The group voted with the colored polling cards again and approved the memo with the above refinements.
Public Comment
No public comment was received at this meeting.
Street Connectivity and Flexible Residential Street Standards
Presenters:DenverIgarta, Christine Leon and Courtney Duke,PortlandBureau of Transportation
Materials: Presentation (CullyLocal Street Plan). See also:
- http://www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/54796?
- Street by Street webpage: http://www.portlandoregon.gov/transportation/58466 and Report to Council (Nov 2012): http://www.portlandoregon.gov/transportation/article/422120
Denver Igarta gave an overview of the Cully Plan, street connectivity and flexible street standards. Highlights of his presentation include:
- The Cully Boulevard Main Street Project offered an opportunity to engage with the community extensively over the course of a year to plan how to improve network connectivity, develop safer active transportation routes and sensitively introduce basic infrastructure on local streets.
- Denverreviewed the existing street connectivity challenges in the Cully Neighborhood and the lack of sidewalks and paved streets.
- Denverdescribed how the community was consulted in identifying what they liked and what they wanted changed. It became apparent that not everyone wanted a standard paved street if it meant the loss of neighborhood trees and community utilization of public right-of-way as well as the risk of increased vehicular traffic. But gravel streets proved to be difficult and expensive to adequately maintain. Only 5% of those polled wanted no improvements, and approximately 75% were comfortable walking on very low-volume streets without sidewalks.
- Through this community consultation and best practices research, the City developed two new street standards for neighborhood streets, theSeparated Residential Streetand theShared Residential Street. Both were estimated to be approximately one third the cost of constructing a standard street. Staff worked closely with representatives of the Commission on Disabilities to ensure that the new designs worked for people with a range of physical abilities, including people using wheel chairs.
- The new standards were formally adopted by City Council. Since then, PBOT has received numerous inquiries from other neighborhoods about the potential applicability of the new standards to their areas, particularly as a way to get improvements underway through a lower-cost Local Improvement District funding mechanism. This is being considered on a street-by-street basis.
- The group also talked about the affordability challenges of gravel roads and the maintenance requirements that fall to the adjacent home owners - versus the improved streets (non-gravel) that fall under the maintenance purview of the City.
Courtney Duke talked about how the draft goals and policies proposed in the Working Draft – Part One will advance a policy framework that supports this kind of innovation and adoption of flexible standards for street improvements and expanded use of the right-of-way in the future.
Questions and answers include the following:
- How does the information presented today relate to the IE PEG memo? Answer: Comments can still be submitted on the Goals and Policies (they should be sent to Courtney Duke in PBOT). The presentation also helped set the stage for the materials that were coming up in Part Two discussions and materials.
- How are truck and freight being accommodated, especially in the neighborhoods with these narrow streets? Answer: The northern boundary of the Cully project is Columbia Boulevard. They are looking at how to make improvements that facilitate truck movement on the freight network, thus getting it off the local streets (especially 60th Avenue).
- As a result of the project, new design standards were created. How are the decisions made about when those standards can be applied? Answer: In the past, the only real option was to build nothing, or build out the full street (paved street, parking, planted right of way, sidewalks both side). With the new standards, there are now additional, lower-cost options that neighbors can decide to utilize for improvements to their streets (typically through a Local Improvement District process).
- Is it an accurate statement to say that if there was enough money, most residents would really want the full street build out option, and the real issue is cost? Is this really about finding less costly options for a short-term solution, resulting in lesser improvements for residents? Answer: Public opinion varies on wanting or not wanting a 'full street' build out. In some cases, there are other priorities (e.g. keeping large mature trees). Not everyone wants their neighborhood to look and feel the same as every other part of the city. Many neighborhoods want to have more flexibility to design the streets themselves. Some developers are also interested in providing money toward a community amenity (e.g. paved path to a school) rather than building the segment of sidewalk in front of their development. In Cully, it was very important to the community that the improvements not create high speed, heavier traveled streets – which could happen if the streets were improved to the full street standard.
- Is a local street plan, like Cully, really necessary now – given that we have the new street designs? Answer: Community input is needed to help identify active transportation routes, including Safe Routes to School, as well as where the new standards might work best. This kind of priority-setting and planning helps neighborhoods link to funding established to support citywide initiatives, such as Safe Routes to School and other active transportation initiatives.
The IE PEG discussed the potential negative and beneficial equity impacts applying this approach citywide. Highlights include the following:
Value of Public Involvement
- The public involvement process identifies the community's desires and priorities, and from multiple use perspectives. The cost of this approach is pretty high – but it results in a menu of solutions that can be applied to create a more equitable outcome in the community.
Funding and Equity
- The financing issue is still a barrier – having new street design options doesn't necessarily address that challenge.
- The equity question really is "who pays for streets?" The existing policy of the abutting property owner pays is inherently unfair.
- There should be more options than the abutting homeowners pay for everything or the city pays for everything. For example, there could be ways to share costs among all the primary users of those improvements (e.g., neighborhood pooled money that goes toward the priority streets the neighborhood identified).
- Connectivity and safety is a big deal for larger arterials and collector streets. It isn't fair to put the costs of those improvements onto the property owners with frontage on those collector streets. We need to make sure the policies support a shared cost structure for the bigger streets.
Infrastructure in Annexed Areas
- The City often makes the comment that the area was annexed in the mid-eighties. But, that was 30 years ago. The Comprehensive Plan is a 30-year plan. If we don't address these issues, then communities like Cully will be 60 years behind the rest of the city. It is concerning that 60 years later there will still be parts of the city that still don't have safe ways for kids to walk to school and for neighbors to get around. Some annexed neighborhoods have been without standard infrastructure for an even longer period of time.
Long-term Impacts on Equity
- There is a fine line between getting the functional elements in place, and building something that ages well (e.g., 20-30 years into the future). The quality and durability of the improvements are key – even if the standards are flexible.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver apologized Wednesday night for anti-gay remarks he made during a Super Bowl media day interview a day earlier.
``The derogatory comments I made yesterday were a reflection of thoughts in my head, but they are not how I feel,'' he said in a statement released by the team. ``It has taken me seeing them in print to realize that they are hurtful and ugly. Those discriminating feelings are truly not in my heart. Further, I apologize to those who I have hurt and offended, and I pledge to learn and grow from this experience.''
The 49ers said earlier Wednesday they had addressed the comments, but didn't elaborate on whether the second-year player would face disciplinary action or a fine.
During an interview Tuesday at the Superdome, Culliver responded to questions from comedian Artie Lange by saying he wouldn't welcome a gay player in the locker room. He also said the 49ers didn't have any homosexual players and, if they did, those players should leave.
``The San Francisco 49ers reject the comments that were made yesterday, and have addressed the matter with Chris,'' the team said. ``There is no place for discrimination within our organization at any level. We have and always will proudly support the LGBT community.''
Culliver planned to formally address his remarks during a news conference during the 49ers' media availability Thursday morning, according to his personal public relations representative, Theodore Palmer.
The interview Tuesday began with Lange asking Culliver about his sexual plans with women during Super Bowl week. Lange followed up with a question about whether Culliver would consider pursuing a gay man.
``I don't do the gay guys, man. I don't do that,'' Culliver said during the 1-minute taped interview. ``Ain't got no gay people on the team. They gotta get up outta here if they do. Can't be with that sweet stuff.''
Lange asked Culliver to reiterate his thoughts, to which the player said, ``It's true.'' He added he wouldn't welcome a gay teammate - no matter how talented.
``Nah. Can't be ... in the locker room, nah,'' he said. ``You've gotta come out 10 years later after that.''
The 24-year-old Culliver, a third-round draft pick in 2011 out of South Carolina, made 47 tackles with two interceptions and a forced fumble this season while starting six games for the NFC champion Niners (13-4-1).
He had his first career postseason interception in San Francisco's 28-24 win at Atlanta for the NFC title.
The 49ers participate in the NFL's ``It Gets Better'' anti-bullying campaign. The city of San Francisco and progressive, open-minded Bay Area are home to a large gay community.
Three organizations working for LGBT inclusion in sports - Athlete Ally, You Can Play, and GLAAD - reacted to Culliver's remarks and later acknowledged his apology.
``Chris Culliver's comments were disrespectful, discriminatory and dangerous, particularly for the young people who look up to him,'' said Athlete Ally Executive Director Hudson Taylor. ``His words underscore the importance of the athlete ally movement and the key role that professional athletes play in shaping an athletic climate that affirms and includes gay and lesbian players. Culliver's current views are as marginal as they are misguided. We're seeing more and more NFL players take a stand against homophobia in sports through our advocacy and we know that support at this level is only going to grow. It is becoming clear that discrimination is on the fringe and has absolutely no place in sports.''

NBC has announced that the original episode of "Revolution" that was scheduled to air Monday night (April 15) at 10ET/9C will air next week (Monday, April 22) at 10ET/9C and all subsequent episodes will move accordingly.
The episode, titled "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia," was preempted due to the network's continuing news coverage of the Boston Marathon bomb attack. The change means the new season finale date for "Revolution" will now be one week later on Monday, June 3rd.
Set in a powerless, post-apocalyptic future, "Revolution" follows the Matheson family as they struggle to survive in a world ruled by militias and warlords.

Samoa consists of the two large islands of Upolu and Savai'i and seven small islets located about halfway between Hawaii and New Zealand in the Polynesian region of the South Pacific. The main island of Upolu is home to nearly three-quarters of Samoa's population and its capital city of Apia. The climate is tropical, with a rainy season from November to April.
The Fa'a Samoa, or traditional Samoan way, remains a strong force in Samoan life and politics. Despite centuries of European influence, Samoa maintains its historical customs, social systems, and language, which is believed to be the oldest form of Polynesian speech still in existence. Only the Maoris of New Zealand outnumber the Samoans among Polynesian groups.
Migrants from Southeast Asia arrived in the Samoan islands more than 2,000 years ago and from there settled the rest of Polynesia further to the east. Contact with Europeans began in the early 1700s but did not intensify until the arrival of English missionaries and traders in the 1830s. At the turn of the 20th century, the Samoan islands were split into two sections. The eastern islands became territories of the United States in 1904 and today are known as American Samoa. The western islands became known as Western Samoa (now just Samoa), passing from German control to New Zealand in 1914. New Zealand administered Western Samoa under the auspices of the League of Nations and then as a UN trusteeship until independence in 1962. Western Samoa was the first Pacific Island country to gain its independence.
In July 1997 the Constitution was amended to change the country's name from Western Samoa to Samoa. Samoa had been known simply as Samoa in the United Nations since joining the organization in 1976. The neighboring U.S. territory of American Samoa protested the move, feeling that the change diminished its own Samoan identity. American Samoans still use the terms Western Samoa and Western Samoans.
The 1960 Constitution, which formally came into force with independence, is based on the British pattern of parliamentary democracy, modified to take account of Samoan customs. Samoa's two high chiefs at the time of independence were given lifetime appointments to jointly hold the office of head of state. Malietoa Tanumafili II has held this post alone since the death of his colleague in 1963. His eventual successor will be selected by the legislature for a 5-year term.
The unicameral legislature (Fono) contains 49 members serving 5-year terms. Forty-seven are elected from territorial districts by ethnic Samoans districts; the other two are chosen by non-Samoans on separate electoral rolls. Universal suffrage was extended in 1990, but only chiefs (matai) may stand for election to the Samoan seats. There are more than 25,000 matais in the country, about 5% of whom are women. The prime minister is chosen by a majority in the Fono and is appointed by the chief of state to form a government. The prime minister's choices for the 12 cabinet positions are appointed by the chief of state, subject to the continuing confidence of the Fono.
The judicial system is based on English common law and local customs. The Supreme Court is the court of highest jurisdiction. Its chief justice is appointed by the chief of state upon the recommendation of the prime minister.
Principal Government Officials
Head of State—His Highness MALIETOA Tanumafili II
Head of Government--Prime Minister TUILA'EPA Sailele Malielegoai
Ambassador to the United States--Ali'ioaga Feturi ELISAIA
Samoa maintains its diplomatic representation in the United States at 800 2nd Avenue, Suite 400D, New York, NY 10017; tel: 212-599-6196.
Since 1982 the majority party in the Fono has been the Human Rights Protection Party (HRPP). HRPP leader Tofilau Eti Alesana served as prime minister for nearly all of the period between 1982 and 1998, when he resigned due to health reasons. Tofilau Eti was replaced by his deputy, Tuila'epa Sailele Malielegaoi.
Parliamentary elections were held in March 2001. The Human Rights Protection Party, led by Tuila'epa Sailele Malielegaoi, won 30 of the 49 seats in the current Fono. The Samoa National Development Party, led by Le Mamea Ropati, is the main opposition. Other political parties are the Samoan Progressive Conservative Party, the Samoa All Peoples Party, and the Samoa Liberal Party.
The Samoan economy is dependent on agricultural exports, tourism, and capital flows from abroad. The effects of three natural disasters in the early 1990s were overcome by the middle of the decade, but economic growth cooled again with the regional economic downturn. Long-run development depends upon upgrading the tourist infrastructure, attracting foreign investment, and further diversification of the economy.
Two major cyclones hit Samoa at the beginning of the 1990s. Cyclone Ofa left an estimated 10,000 islanders homeless in February 1990; Cyclone Val caused 13 deaths and hundreds of millions of dollars in damage in December 1991. As a result, GDP declined by nearly 50% from 1989 to 1991. These experiences and Samoa's position as a low-lying island state punctuate its concern about global climate change.
Further economic problems occurred in 1994 with an outbreak of taro leaf blight and the near collapse of the national airline Polynesian Airlines. Taro, a root crop, traditionally was Samoa's largest export, generating more than half of all export revenue in 1993. But a fungal blight decimated the plants, and in each year since 1994 taro exports have accounted for less than 1% of export revenue. Polynesian Airlines reached a financial crisis in 1994, which disrupted the tourist industry and eventually required a government bailout.
The government responded to these shocks with a major program of road building and post-cyclone infrastructure repair. Economic reforms were stepped up, including the liberalization of exchange controls. GDP growth rebounded to over 6% in both 1995 and 1996 before slowing again at the end of the decade.
The service sector accounts for more than half of GDP and employs approximately 30% of the labor force. Tourism is the largest-single activity, more than doubling in visitor numbers and revenue over the last decade. More than 85,000 visitors came to Samoa in 1999, contributing over $12 million to the local economy. One-third came from American Samoa, 28% from New Zealand, and 11% from the United States. Arrivals increased in 2000, as visitors to the South Pacific avoided the political strife in Fiji by traveling to Samoa instead.
The primary sector (agriculture, forestry, and fishing) employs nearly two-thirds of the labor force and produces 17% of GDP. Important products include coconuts and fish.
Industry accounts for over one-quarter of GDP while employing less than 6% of the work force. The largest industrial venture is Yazaki Samoa, a Japanese-owned company processing automotive components for export to Australia under a concessional market-access arrangement. The Yazaki plant employs more than 2,000 workers and makes up over 20% of the manufacturing sector's total output. Net receipts amount to between $1.5 million and $3.03 million annually, although shipments from Yazaki are counted as services (export processing) and therefore do not officially appear as merchandise exports.
New Zealand is Samoa's principal trading partner, typically providing between 35% and 40% of imports and purchasing 45%-50% of exports. Australia, American Samoa, the U.S., and Fiji also are important trading partners. Samoa's principal exports are coconut products and fish. Its main imports are food and beverages, industrial supplies, and fuels.
The collapse of taro exports in 1994 has had the unintended effect of modestly diversifying Samoa's export products and markets. Prior to the taro leaf blight, Samoa's exports consisted of taro ($1.1 million), coconut cream ($540,000), and "other" ($350,000). Ninety percent of exports went to the Pacific region, and only 1% went to Europe. Forced to look for alternatives to taro, Samoa's exporters have dramatically increased the production of copra, coconut oil, and fish. These three products, which combined to produce export revenue of less than $100,000 in 1993, now account for over $3.8 million. There also has been a relative shift from Pacific markets to European ones, which now receive nearly 15% of Samoa's exports. Samoa's exports are still concentrated in coconut products ($2.36 million worth of copra, copra meal, coconut oil, and coconut cream) and fish ($1.51 million) but are at least somewhat more diverse than before.
Samoa annually receives important financial assistance from abroad. The more than 100,000 Samoans who live overseas provide two sources of revenue. Their direct remittances have amounted to $12.1 million per year recently, and they account for more than half of all tourist visits. In addition to the expatriate community, Samoa also receives roughly $7.57 million annually in official development assistance from sources led by Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. These three sources of revenue--tourism, private transfers, and official transfers--allow Samoa to cover its persistently large trade deficit.
The Samoan Government is generally conservative and pro-Western, with a strong interest in regional political and economic issues. At independence in 1962, Samoa signed a Treaty of Friendship with New Zealand. This treaty confirms the special relationship between the two countries and provides a framework for their interaction. Under the terms of the treaty, Samoa can request that New Zealand act as a channel of communication to governments and international organizations outside the immediate area of the Pacific islands. Samoa also can request defense assistance, which New Zealand is required to consider (Samoa does not maintain a formal military). Overall Samoa has strong links with New Zealand, where many Samoans now live and many others were educated.
The Samoan Government was an outspoken critic of the French decision to resume nuclear weapons testing in the South Pacific in 1995. An indefinite ban was placed on visits to Samoa by French warships and aircraft. Largescale street demonstrations were held in Apia. The French tests concluded in early 1996.
Samoa participated in a first round of negotiations with its Pacific Island neighbors for a regional trade agreement in August 2000.

Jays interested in Doumit?
According to FOXSports.com, citing a Major League source, the Blue Jays have "mild" interest in Pirates catcher Ryan Doumit. The talks have not reached a serious stage according to the report.
Pittsburgh has made it known that they will listen to offers for the switch-hitting Doumit, who also has experience as a first baseman and right fielder. Doumit, 28, is under contract for two more seasons and has a two-year club option for 2012-13.
On Tuesday, Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos noted that he still had his "toes in the water" on a few trades in his search for a catcher. Toronto needs help behind the plate now that it appears highly unlikely that catcher Rod Barajas re-signs with the team.

Question for Jordan or whoever can answer it…
The Braves signed Billy Wagner and thus the Red Sox will recieve the Braves 20th overall selection.
If the redsox were to John Lackey the angels would get the sox # 26 or so pick.
If the redsox also signed Marco Scutaro would the # pick go to the Angels and the # 26 pick go to the jays? or would the Jays get stuck with a secound rounder while the sox still had a first round selection?

Weekly business rail, with tips on managing stress at work, a BBB warning about air conditioning scams and more.
Tip of the Week
The vast majority of Americans (77 percent) are stressed by at least one thing at work, finds the Harris Interactive-Everest College Work Stress Survey. The most common issues are low pay, commuting, unreasonable workload and concern over being fired or laid off. But these are not the only issues American workers are facing - annoying co-workers also made the list, followed by difficulty with a boss, poor work-life balance and lack of opportunity for advancement.
"The impact of stress cannot be overstated," says Davis Brimberg, a Los Angeles-based psychologist who focuses on workplace issues. "Almost all psychological problems are worsened by stress. People of all occupations and income levels are greatly affected," he says. Workplace stress can have negative consequences on your performance at work and your life.
There are a number of techniques for dealing with workplace stress. First, learn to recognize the symptoms - you may feel a constant sense of nervousness, which can often lead to feeling withdrawn, irritable or apathetic. Stress is also associated with physical problems, such as fatigue and muscle tension.
Physical exercise is also shown to help with stress management. Aerobic exercises have been shown to release mood-raising endorphins, so getting 30 minutes of exercise a day can actually help decrease your stress levels. It is also important to get enough sleep, which can help your body deal with the effects of stress throughout the day, and makes you better able to manage emotional swings.
There are also important strategies in your workplace that can help you deal with stress. Do not over-commit to non-essential tasks. Prioritize important tasks, and learn to delegate non-essential ones. Also, you can schedule regular breaks into your daily routine to allow yourself to get away from your workstation or office.
BBB Watch
There is no worse time for your air conditioner to go on the fritz than during a heat wave. Rushing to find someone to make repairs or replace your air conditioning unit can lead to consumers getting burned. The Better Business Bureau is warning consumers to be especially cautious of air conditioning scams.
In the last 12 months, there have been 403 complaints filed against heating and air conditioning companies, compared to 341 in the previous 12 months, an increase of 18 percent.
"When searching air conditioning companies, hiring the first company you call or not getting all the details in writing are some common mistakes made by consumers" says Steve J. Bernas of the Better Business Bureau. "Often scammers will count on offering 'free' air conditioner tuneups or cleanings but end up recommending much more costly repairs than needed."
Additionally, consumers should avoid falling victim to high-pressure sales tactics, and look for red flags such as why a company would go door to door during a heat wave when they should have more work than they could handle.

Dorringtons Accused of "Blowing Up Flies"
As I quoted back here, Boston selectman Timothy Newell recorded that on 14 July 1775:
Dorrington his son and daughter and the nurse for blowing up flies in the evening, they are charged with giving signals in this way to the army without.Though Newell didn't record this detail, William Dorrington was the keeper of the smallpox hospital in the west end of town, and therefore answered to the selectmen. Presumably "the nurse" worked at the hospital as well.
The Dorrington party were examined in court on 18 and 19 July and dismissed on the 26th. Fellow prisoner Peter Edes later wrote a list of nasty acts by the prison officials that included: "Also three dollars was demanded of Dorrington, and the provost kept his bed and bedding six days, and then delivered them up."
A few months back John A. Nagy, an author who's looking into Revolutionary War espionage, asked me what I thought "blowing up flies" meant. The Dorringtons' fellow prisoners used that phrase and called the family "the Fly blowers," so apparently it didn't strike them as odd or in need of explanation.
I found another use of the phrase in the Annual Register for 1794, which gives a clearer sense of the act:
Brighthelmstone. A dreadful accident happened yesterday at Hove, in consequence of the inadvertency of a boy who was attempting to blow up flies with gunpowder, at a public-house. He had formed a train, for this purpose, across the side of the room, at the end of which stood a closet containing a great quantity of powder. A spark of the former unfortunately got among the latter, and, such were the dreadful consequences of the explosion, that the boy had one of his eyes blown out, and his face most shockingly mangled.So it looks like "blowing up flies" meant exactly what it looks like: using gunpowder to set off small explosions in order to kill flies. A lot of flies, I hope, given the trouble and risk involved. Given that cleansing the smallpox hospital involved "smoking" the rooms and linens, however, perhaps people thought explosions could kill two types of bugs with one blast.
Two soldiers have likewise suffered so much by the same, that their lives are despaired of. There were several more in the apartment, who escaped unhurt. That part of the room, however, where the gunpowder stood, was intirely knocked down by the violence of the shock, and the house considerably damaged.
No doubt the besieged British garrison was on edge and suspicious about explosions in town. And the Dorringtons were "blowing up flies" at night, out on the side of the peninsula closest to the Continental troops in Cambridge. So they might have been lucky to be let out so quickly.

The Latest: UK's EU status to be 'similar' right after exit
BRUSSELS (AP) — The Latest on Brexit negotiations (all times local):
4:15 p.m.
Britain's point person on Brexit says the country's status with the European Union during a post-departure transition period will be "not exactly the same as membership — but it's very, very similar."
Brexit Secretary David Davis told a House of Lords committee Monday that Britain will continue to be bound by EU rules and the EU court during the transition period, but without a seat on the bloc's decision-making bodies.
Davis said "the existing regulatory structure will exist, the existing court structure will exist."
He said Britain will, however, be free to negotiate new trade deals outside the bloc, which it is barred from doing as an EU member.
The EU says any new deals will not be able to take effect until after the end of the transition period, which has been proposed for Dec. 31, 2020.
3:20 p.m.
The European Union has adopted new orders for its Brexit negotiator laying out the terms of a transition period to help ease Britain out of the bloc after it officially leaves next year.
Bulgarian Deputy Prime Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva said Monday that EU ministers gave "a clear mandate" on their requirements for the transition period, to run from March 30, 2019 to Dec. 31, 2020.
She said that EU law would be applied in Britain during the transition, while the country would have "no participation in the EU institutions and decision-making."
The guidelines were adopted less than an hour into a meeting of European affairs ministers, and Zaharieva said "we hope an agreement on this with the U.K. can also be closed swiftly."
2:30 p.m.
European Union government ministers are meeting to endorse a new set of orders for their Brexit negotiator, focused on ways to ease Britain out of the EU from next year and lay the foundations for their future ties.
The negotiating guidelines set out the terms of a "transition period" that the Europeans want to run from the end of March next year until December 31, 2020.
In a draft of the guidelines, seen by The Associated Press, the EU insists that Britain should have no decision-making powers during the transition, while still abiding by all the bloc's rules, including any new ones.
Ireland's European Affairs Minister Helen McEntee said Monday that "When the U.K. leave the European Union they will not be a voice around the table."

UEFA Europa League: Dnipro 1 Tottenham 0
Yevhen Konoplyanka's late penalty earned Dnipro a 1-0 win over Tottenham in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League last 32 tie.
Konoplyanka, a target of Liverpool in the January transfer window, slotted home an 81st-minute spot-kick after Jan Vertonghen was adjudged to have brought down Matheus inside the box, condemning Tottenham to their first European defeat of the season.
It was sweet revenge for Dnipro coach Juande Ramos, who delivered Tottenham's last trophy by winning the League Cup in 2008, only to be sacked the following season with the club bottom of the Premier League table.
The result leaves Tottenham with work to do in the second leg next week and it could have been an altogether different story for Tim Sherwood's men, who saw Roberto Soldado spurn a golden chance when he missed an open goal 10 minutes into the second period.
By the final whistle, though, Sherwood was thankful to depart with his side trailing by only the solitary goal as Roman Zozulya was denied by the frame of the goal in stoppage time.
Andros Townsend made his first start for Tottenham since mid-December after recovering from a hamstring injury, while 16-year-old Josh Onomah took his place on the bench for the first time.
On a dry and rutted surface, the visitors created the first half-opening of the game in the 13th minute after a minute's silence was observed in respect to those who lost their lives this week during the recent political unrest in Ukraine, Soldado seeing his near-post header blocked by Dnipro goalkeeper Denis Boyko.
Dnipro ought to have gone ahead 12 minutes later when Matheus was played clean through on goal, but Brad Friedel spread himself to block the Brazilian's effort low down to his left, before thwarting the striker again two minutes later when he tried his luck from 25 yards.
Ten minutes before the break, Ivan Strinic was booked for hauling down Paulinho on the edge of the area, with Tottenham arguing that he should have been sent off for denying a goalscoring opportunity. Townsend sent the resulting free-kick a yard wide.
Soldado wasted a glorious chance to break the deadlock in the 56th minute when, with the goal at his mercy, the Spaniard somehow cleared the crossbar from four yards after being picked out by Paulinho's ball across the box.
Sherwood introduced Christian Eriksen off the bench in place of Townsend in the 64th minute and the Denmark international almost made a telling contribution with his first touch, but his slotted finish beyond Boyko was ruled out for offside.
Friedel had to be alert three minutes later to parry Matheus' rasping effort from the edge of the box as the game became more stretched.
Soldado saw a volley blocked before Friedel was involved again, rushing from his line to deny Giuliano after the Brazilian had jinked his way through the Tottenham defence.
The deadlock was eventually broken when Vertonghen brought down Matheus and Konoplyanka coolly tucked home the penalty in off the left-hand post to give Dnipro a crucial first-leg advantage.
Tottenham pushed hard for an equaliser as Paulinho forced a ricochet that struck the base of the post before substitute Harry Kane failed to get a telling connection with the goal at his mercy.
It could have been so much worse for Tottenham, though, as Zozulya sent a header against the post in stoppage time.

What is financial independence? In general it's freedom from debt, abiding by a system that steadily grows your savings, and having a cash reserve equal to at least 3 months of living expenses.
How do you get there? The concept is simple…Stop living beyond your means! That's easier said than done.
When it comes to controlling spending, too many of us are careful with the nickels and dimes but let the big dollars fly out the window without a second thought. Clipping coupons, bringing a lunch to work, etc. are really good savings habits. But a month's worth of those activities can be blown out the water by an unbudgeted dinner out or an impulsive tech purchase.
I encourage everyone to do a reality check—calculate your net worth: assets minus debts. Assets are everything you own—savings and checking accounts, retirement accounts, equity in your home and auto, and so on. If assets minus debts equals a negative number, you're living beyond your means.
To get an idea of what your "means" are, try this: Live for one month without credit—only use cash and checks.
Peer pressure and self-image can drive us to live beyond our means. If your circle of friends influences you to spend more than you should, maybe it's time to create some separation. Some of us feel the need to project a high-spending image. All I can say is do some soul-searching about your long-term priorities—make the right decisions for your future and your family.

A little over a week ago Apple came out with a cute little ad for Christmas. A young girl plays "I'll Be Home for Christmas" to her granddad using FaceTime.
The makers of the app Futulele have seemingly one-upped Apple with their own version of that song. Very cool, especially since you consider that Apple's ad aired on December 22 and that Futulele's version was uploaded on December 23. The kind of quick turnaround video production I like to be involved with myself.

Dealighted and its users crawl all of those popular deal sites and bring the bargains back home, so you have to visit only one site to find the best bargains.
Dealighted grabs sales and coupon codes from sites like Slickdeals, FatWallet, GottaDeal, and more, and because the users submit the deals themselves, the popular ones get posted to the front page.

Just a short note this morning: I have to admit I found this Unix koan particularly amusing.
I am a little disappointed in myself though. I spend pages and pages of digital real estate explaining the natural efficiency of text-based systems, and someone else can condense it into a brief and pointed story. 😐
I have much to learn.
Take your time and skim through some of the other koans on that site. While I can't vouch for their metaphysical value, they are at least an interesting way to look at the art of computing.
Thanks to cantrell for sending it along. 😉

Those costly winter heating bills might be out of sight momentarily, but they are never really out of mind.
If the thought of opening an electric bill this summer has you sweating even more than the heat itself, consider some ways to cut costs while simultaneously shrinking your carbon footprint.
Choosing energy-efficient products, making a few small repairs and adjusting some behavior can help consumers keep dollars from pouring out their often-drafty windows.

YES! But How? :: Paper v. Cloth
Most household paper products—paper towels, tissues, toilet paper, and napkins—are made of virgin pulp harvested from the Canadian boreal forest or from ecologically damaging monoculture tree farms in the Southeast. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, "If every household in the United States replaced just one package of virgin-fiber napkins (250-count) with 100 percent recycled ones, we could save 1 million trees." So, the short answer is, yes, purchasing recycled household-paper products appears to be a good choice.
It's surprisingly affordable, too. Contrary to popular belief, some recycled household paper products can be found for roughly the same price as their non-recycled competitors.
But finding the recycled symbol (whose use is poorly regulated) isn't the end of the story. First, choose products with high post-consumer recycled content; increased demand for these products helps encourage and sustain recycling programs. Second, check to see if the product has been bleached. Bright whites come from chlorine, which can be harmful to streams and rivers, killing fish and disrupting aquatic ecosystems. Look for products labeled totally chlorine-free (TCF) or processed chlorine-free (PCF).
If you aren't quite sold on the environmental perks of recycled products or doubt their durability, try cloth. Although its production makes considerable demands on the environment, cloth allows multiple uses and eliminates the plastic packaging associated with disposable paper products. And if you throw your dirty rags in with the rest of your laundry and line dry them, the environmental impact of cleaning cloth is negligible. When possible, choose linen over cotton, as the cultivation of flax requires less water and fewer pesticides.

Nesbitt Realty can sell your property in Alexandria, VA. We are a family business that appreciates the opportunity to serve your needs.
We can list your Alexandria property to help you achieve your real estate goals.
The best way to update a property is to paint it. It's a job that many sellers can do themselves.
Here are six suggestions for making the work go quickly.
- Move the furniture. Get as much furniture as possible out of the way, and then cover what's left with plastic drop cloths held in place with masking tape.
- Buy good paint. Top-quality latex interior paint will hide what's underneath and make the job go faster.
- Tape the edges. Taping the edges with painters tape will speed up the job and make the results more professional.
- Work top down. Paint the ceiling first, then the walls, then the windows and trim and finally the baseboards. This will cut down on time spent repairing drips and splatter marks.
- Cut in the corners. Applying a three-inch band of paint around the edges will allow you to fill in the middle with a paint roller.
- Apply paint generously. Trying to stretch the paint won't save sellers any money if they have to repaint.

Forecasting Canada's roster for Sochi Olympicsby Dan Rosen
Canada's Olympic orientation camp earlier this week included what had to be the most impressive collection of ball hockey players ever assembled anywhere on the planet.
The same 45 players who laced up their sneakers, grabbed a pair of gloves and a stick, and pushed an orange ball around a fiberglass floor for walk-throughs Monday and Tuesday make up most of the pool of gold-medal hopefuls for the defending Olympic champions.
Executive director Steve Yzerman will select 25 players, most from that pool but some from the group of candidates who were not in camp, to make up the Canada Men's Olympic team that will compete for its second straight gold medal in Sochi, Russia in February.
After spending three days at Hockey Canada headquarters in Calgary watching, evaluating, listening and asking questions of the management staff, coaches and players, the picture of Canada's Olympic roster came into focus as the attributes Yzerman will be looking for were spelled out.
To make Canada's roster the player must possess four qualities: 1) foot speed; 2) agility; 3) the ability to play a 200-foot game; 4) high hockey IQ.
The first three months of the NHL season will weigh heavily in Yzerman's decision-making, but based on the information available at orientation camp and the qualities necessary to be a part of this team, here is my prediction of what Canada's roster could and should look like:
Roberto Luongo, Vancouver Canucks
Call him the de facto No. 1 for now, but he could be the clear-cut No. 1 by the time Yzerman announces the team. It's the perfect situation for the Canucks because Luongo is motivated to return to an elite level and hungry to get back to the Olympics.
Corey Crawford, Chicago Blackhawks
There seems to be zero traction for Crawford despite the fact he won the Stanley Cup and was arguably Chicago's best player throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs. That will change once he gets off to another strong start for the Blackhawks. Crawford may not steal a game for Canada, but who says he has to? He would give the Canadians a chance to win every game he plays. That's the job of a goaltender.
Carey Price, Montreal Canadiens
Price's talent is not up for debate, but is he mentally tough enough to handle the pressure of being Canada's goalie? Even if he is selected as a backup he has to be considered an option to start. He faces scrutiny in Montreal every day, but he succumbed to the pressure in the playoffs last season. His position on this team is tenuous, especially with Mike Smith, Cam Ward and Braden Holtby lingering, but Price will get first crack.
Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins
He's a lock and the likely captain.
Jonathan Toews, Chicago Blackhawks
The two-time Stanley Cup champion is as tight a lock as Crosby is and should wear an "A" in Sochi.
Nash knows the big ice well and would be going to his third Olympics. Yzerman identified him as part of the leadership core.
Steven Stamkos, Tampa Bay Lightning
A center in the NHL, expect Stamkos to be on the right wing in his first Olympics. He played right wing at the IIHF World Championship earlier this year.
John Tavares, New York Islanders
Tavares can shift to left wing if necessary, but look for him to be in the middle to start the tournament. He'll play in the bottom six, though, because Crosby and Toews will be the top two centers.
Claude Giroux, Philadelphia Flyers
Canada's management and coaching staff understood but were not happy Giroux didn't attend orientation camp because he's rehabbing his surgically repaired finger. It shouldn't hurt his chances to be on the team provided he gets off to a strong start. His versatility is what Canada is looking for.
Eric Staal, Carolina Hurricanes
The big center might find himself on Crosby's left wing to start the tournament. Chris Kunitz can regale Staal with stories about how great it is.
Canada is loaded at center, but Yzerman said it's important to have natural wings who are adept at playing up and down the wall and getting the puck to the middle. Perry, like Nash, is one of those guys.
He's big, mobile and could be Canada's fourth center behind Crosby, Toews and Tavares. He'll have to adjust to playing fewer minutes.
Logan Couture, San Jose Sharks
Couture makes it because he can score, he's smart with and without the puck, and he can skate. He's another center who will be on the wing.
Patrick Sharp, Chicago Blackhawks
Sharp has everything Yzerman is looking for: foot speed, versatility (he can play all three forward positions), high hockey IQ, scoring ability and defensive acumen.
Martin St. Louis, Tampa Bay Lightning
The disappointment of not making the team in 2010 has driven St. Louis to be there in 2014. As long as he gets off to a strong start, the 38-year-old right wing should be in Sochi. He can play either wing and will be part of Canada's leadership group.
Patrice Bergeron, Boston Bruins
He's a sensational two-way center and one of the best faceoff guys in the NHL. Bergeron could be Canada's 13th forward specializing in defensive-zone faceoffs and penalty killing.
There didn't seem to be much buzz about Hall during orientation camp, but there should be. He's a strong and fast skater who is starting to figure out the 200-foot game. Hall will impress Canada's management staff in the first three months and play his way onto the Olympic team.
Duncan Keith, Chicago Blackhawks
He's a fast, low-risk, smart, left-handed shooting defenseman. Keith has everything going for him, making him a lock.
Shea Weber, Nashville Predators
Weber's ability to delivering punishing hits won't be as important as his ability for punishing the puck, which he does better than anybody eligible for this team.
Drew Doughty, Los Angeles Kings
Doughty's game is tailor-made for the big ice. He can move the puck and himself well. He'll join the rush, but his game won't suffer on the defensive end. He'll make the safe play instead of taking the risk.
Alex Pietrangelo, St. Louis Blues
Provided he avoids a prolonged contract holdout, Pietrangelo, who is a restricted free agent, will be on the team because he does just about everything well.
P.K. Subban, Montreal Canadiens
Subban will have to be more conservative than he normally is to play on the big ice, where making up for mistakes is harder because of the extra strides it takes to get back into position. That said, the reigning Norris Trophy winner shouldn't change too much because he's already so dangerous.
Staal has no doubts he'll be back to his old self to start the season despite lingering blurriness in his right eye. Provided he is, the big, mobile, intelligent blueliner will be in the Olympics. He's a left-handed shot, which makes him more enticing.
Jay Bouwmeester, St. Louis Blues
Canada likes him because of his smooth skating and decision-making. The knock is that Bouwmeester, another left-handed shooter, has never won a championship at the professional level and when he went to Turin in 2006, Canada finished seventh. He'll have to raise his compete level in Sochi.
Kris Letang, Pittsburgh Penguins
There is some thought Subban and Letang are interchangeable and Yzerman will take one of them. It makes sense, but only to a point because Letang is one of those players who is simply too good to leave off this team. Like Subban, he'll have to be more conservative on the big ice. He'd be Canada's fifth righty defensemen, but he can move to the left side if necessary.

Politics & Government
Rep. Jim Clyburn celebrates Lincoln, MLK, but says Voting Rights Act under threat
House Assistant Democratic Leader Jim Clyburn, speaking Thursday at the cottage where Abraham Lincoln drafted the Emancipation Proclamation, celebrated its 150th anniversary but warned that one of the most important products of the slain president's visionary leadership is under threat at the Supreme Court.
Clyburn, the only African-American to hold a leadership post in Congress, also noted the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and the now-famous "I Have a Dream" speech delivered to hundreds of thousands by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. at the Lincoln Memorial.
The South Carolina Democrat told a racially mixed audience of church ministers, historians and guests from the Washington region that he'd attended Tuesday's Supreme Court hearing of a case in which the government of Shelby County, Ala., is challenging portions of the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act.
Clyburn expressed dissatisfaction with Justice Anton Scalia's challenge of the law's continuation, during oral arguments, as "a perpetuation of racial entitlement."
He criticized Scalia's comment as "an attack on what many people believe is the most effective civil rights law ever enacted."
"We're all entitled to the effectiveness of the Constitution of the United States," Clyburn said to murmurs of encouragement from his listeners. "We all have a perpetual entitlement."
Asked after the Lincoln Cottage ceremony whether he fears the Supreme Court will overturn the Voting Rights Act, which ended Jim Crow laws that had prevented blacks from casting ballots in the South, Clyburn responded: "I am deeply concerned."
Democratic Rep. John Lewis, a former civil rights leader from Georgia, earlier called Scalia's remark "appalling" and "an affront to all of what the civil rights movement stood for."
The Rev. Jesse Jackson, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and black lawmakers held a rally Wednesday to protect the Voting Rights Act on the steps outside the Supreme Court after its hearing.
At what is now called the Lincoln Cottage, three miles north of the White House on Washington's northern edge, the nation's 16th president worked on the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862 before issuing it Jan. 1, 1863.
While Lincoln used his authority as commander in chief as the proclamation's legal basis, it freed slaves only in the 10 Confederate states that had seceded. Tens of thousands of freed slaves joined Union troops as they advanced through the South.
The 13th Amendment to the Constitution banned slavery with its adoption on Dec. 6, 1865, after Lincoln's assassination.
Long considered among the greatest American presidents, Lincoln has enjoyed a resurgence of interest since last year's release of Steven Spielberg's epic "Lincoln," in which Daniel Day-Lewis received a Best Actor Oscar on Sunday for his portrayal of the man known in his time as Honest Abe.
Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, who in January became the only black Republican in Congress, said that Lincoln, a founder of the Republican Party, has been a guiding light for him.
"President Lincoln taught us the value of persistence, and his struggles showed that a man who wrestles with himself and asks hard questions will come to better conclusions," Scott said..
"I had an opportunity to view the (original) Emancipation Proclamation in person last month, and the power of Lincoln's vision remains as clear today as it did 150 years ago," Scott said. "Those words, and the action and belief behind them, forever changed our nation, and we are eternally grateful."
At the ceremony, four people wearing renditions of Lincoln's trademark black stovepipe hat read the Emancipation Proclamation aloud.
Erin Carlson Mast, director of President Lincoln's Cottage, which is now a national monument, said when he journeyed to it from the White House, the president "would ride in carriage or on horseback past caravans of wounded soldiers and camps of men, women and children who had fled the fighting" during the Civil War.
Lincoln, who was born in a backwoods Kentucky cabin on Feb. 12, 1809, was largely self-taught because he had to skip school to help support his family. He became a lawyer in Springfield, Ill., before serving in the Illinois House of Representatives and the U.S. House of Representatives. He was elected to the presidency on Nov. 6, 1860.
Lincoln was inaugurated March 4, 1861, 39 days before confederate forces attacked Fort Sumter, S.C., launching the Civil War.
Lincoln, who made a dozen visits to Union troops on or near front lines, presided over the bloodiest war in U.S. history until Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865, after the deaths of 1 million soldiers and other Americans.
John Wilkes Booth, a Southern sympathizer, shot Lincoln at Ford's Theater a few blocks from the White House five days after Lee's surrender, and Lincoln died the next day.
