Comments about PERRY ELLIS Big and Tall Micro Melange Portfolio Pant:
The cut of the pants was fine. However, the material was too thin. Need heavier material so the pants drop down to your ankles perfectly. Have a pair of Perry Ellis Portfolio made of 100% Pure New Wool (WOOLMARK) # 0505031. I have had them for over 10 yrs. Need others like those.

Comments about PERRY ELLIS Big and Tall Micro Melange Portfolio Pant:
I like the pants, they fit well, drape well, hold their crease and remain mostly wrinkle free. Machine washable on delicate. My only complaint is that I wish they were available in a cotton blend rather than 100% synthetics. - Also, I am not so sure about value. Normal retail is awfully expensive @ $90. However, I got a very good deal on them at $50 on sale. Also, it appears they will be durable, but I've only worn them twice, so I was guessing a bit on durability.

Desmond Stanback, who just completed his final year at Takoma Academy, has committed to play men's basketball at Virginia Tech, he said.
Stanback — who chose Virginia Tech over Ohio and Virginia Commonwealth — said Virginia Tech assistant coach Ramon Williams served as his primary recruiter. Stanback said when he recently received a scholarship offer, he committed.
"Right there on the spot," Stanback said.
Stanback, a 6-foot-3 shooting guard, averaged 18.8 points per game in leading the Tigers to a 23-7 season, including a 13-0 conference mark.
Stanback said he plans to leave for Blacksburg in a couple weeks and sign on campus. He's set to join the ACC team after playing in the Maryland Independent School Athletic League, not often a gateway to major scholarships.
"It's not impossible," Stanback said during the season." You've just got to work harder than everyone else."

Student Growth Percentiles
Student Growth Percentiles (SGP)
A student growth percentile (SGP) describes a student's growth compared to other students with similar prior test scores (their academic peers). Although the calculations for SGPs are complex, information can be shared in percentile terms that are familiar to most teachers and parents. This site provides an overview of student growth percentiles, a new method of measuring student academic growth introduced by OSPI in March 2013.

When our country was young, the British and the Europeans kept coming, pushing to the west.
On Sunday, they rested from work and gathered at church. They remembered the Sabbath Day.
In Charlotte, the owners of Ivey's Store pulled the shades down and you couldn't window shop on Sundays.
It's a shame restaurant owners think they can't make it without alcohol sales.
I don't think alcohol should be the drawing card for the restaurants.
It is a heart-warming ending for the emaciated German shepherd that was cruelly pulled behind a vehicle. The Lancaster Humane Society embraced this boy and got him medical treatment and into a loving foster home. He will be treated for heartworms when he is strong enough.
The outpouring of concern from folks shows how many animal lovers there are in Lancaster County. But the real picture is not so bright.
I believe the lyrics from John Lennon, "So this is Christmas," is an appropriate way to start this letter. It is Christmas all over the world. As I acknowledge this, I cannot help but wonder which country and who are the people who keep and honor Christmas in the most fitting way. Is it the United States? Is it the fact that we have 9 percent unemployment; due in part to the fact that so, so many of our Christmas gifts come from other countries?
The meaning of Christmas is Christ. What would this world have been without that precious baby who was born in a manger? He parted the waters, made water into wine, the blind to see, the cripple to walk and fed multitudes.
Most of all he died for you and me. His name is Jesus – the greatest gift of all.
Carl Miles
Ann Coulter said it best in her column, "Once you go conservative black, you'd better watch your back."
What she means by this is the frenzy of coverage that Herman Cain has gotten for those so-called sexual harassment allegations. First off, there is not one shred of evidence brought forward so far against Mr. Cain. The credibility of these women is very suspect.
Editor's note: Tom and Maryanne White sent the following letter and photos to the Lancaster Maintenance Office of the S.C. Department of Transportation regarding the upkeep of U.S. 521 in Indian Land. The letter was sent in early November and, within days, the grass was mowed.
Every football fan in America knows that it is virtually impossible to win two state football championships in consecutive years. This is especially true in the competitive North Carolina AAA championship contest. However, former Lancaster High School coach Johnny Roscoe's Northern Guilford Nighthawks accomplished this impossible task by defeating Shelby Crest High School by a score of 31 to 7 at the University of North Carolina's Kenan Stadium.
I applaud the courage and determination of Dustin Owens, who met with Lancaster City Council to request its consideration of a facility for a skating center for the young people in the community. He used the proper procedure to voice the issue to council and presented the issue in a dignified and informed manner.
He stated the reasons this issue should be given consideration by council members and also offered a solution to accept his idea. It might be a possibility this young man has a future in politics.
I would like to say thank you to the parents and staff for the support given to the Buford High School's engineering program on Dec. 9.
Kurt Weeks and his class had a fantastic presentation and the students did an excellent job of presenting themselves and their projects.
Each year Buford High School has a presentation ceremony for the first engineering class.
The students build models of miniature golf courses and present them as if they are truly trying to sell their product and ideals to our community.
Editor's note: Lancaster resident Jody Miles had a liver transplant one year ago on Nov. 30. She wrote this letter then expressing her feelings of gratitude. She would like to share it with you.
Some situations remind me of Forest Gump's statement that "life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get."

What to Eat with Wheat Beer
Wheat beers tend to be a love-'em-or-leave-'em proposition. People either like them or they don't. For some it's the sharp taste of the wheat that turns them either on or off. For others it's the banana and clove flavors of the yeast used in German varieties. But it's these very peculiar properties of wheat beers that make them fantastically food friendly and perfect for lighter summer fare. More

A cruise ship disabled for days at sea has pulled into the port at Mobile, Ala., but passengers who have described miserable conditions aboard still have hours to wait before they can walk on solid ground.
The Triumph was pulling into port at about 9:15 p.m. Central time Thursday after taking about six grueling hours to be towed from the mouth of Mobile Bay some 30 miles to the port.
Anxious passengers are lining the decks waving, cheering loudly and whistling to those on shore.
Carnival says the 3,000 or so passengers have the option of a seven-hour bus ride to the Texas cities of Galveston or Houston or a two-hour trip to New Orleans. Buses are standing by to take them to their next stop.

Great project, thanks a ton for posting
I work with people with neurological conditions and if any person here saw the difference that this software can make to a persons life then they would smile. For me the fact that this is free and allows people access to the world when they may be confined in other ways then it is amazing. For the people complaining that this isnt the "matrix" or "minority report" then you should be ashamed of yourselves and step out of your little world. If you can use a mouse then do so and stop being lazy, if you cant use one then i recommend this. It isnt perfect but it is bloody good!!

DeVine column is ironic
Jack DeVine's column on Feb. 25 concerning divisiveness is ironic in that it contributes to the mood about which it complains.
Why do Republicans continue trying to propagate the myth of "... a spectacularly unsuccessful first term..." by the president? Obamacare was a major feat – whether you agree with it or not. Preventing the Bush recession from becoming a full-blown depression, via the stimulus package, was a huge achievement, albeit at the cost of a large increase in the national debt, which, by the way, was a small price to pay when compared with a complete collapse of the economy. The division that DeVine complains about could be alleviated if the losers would accept the results of the last election. The voters have spoken.

ATLANTA — For most of the season, the Atlanta Braves were overachievers.
They lost seven players to season-ending injuries. Two more key players batted under .200. Even with all that, the Braves managed to win 96 games and capture their first division since 2005.
But once October arrived, it was the same ol' story.
Another postseason disappointment.
The Braves haven't won a postseason series since 2001, their streak of eight straight losses now the second-longest in baseball history to the Chicago Cubs, who dropped 10 series in a row between 1910 and 1998, according to STATS LLC.
"A lot of good stuff happened," manager Fredi Gonzalez insisted after the season ended Monday night in the NL division series with a 4-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. "A lot of guys participated in the 96-win season. It's going to be one of those seasons that you're not going to appreciate for about a couple of weeks, and then you say, 'You know what? It was a pretty darn good team, a pretty darn good season.'"
Indeed, there are plenty of reasons for the Braves to be hopeful.
First baseman Freddie Freeman had an MVP-type season. Young pitchers Kris Medlen, Mike Minor and Julio Teheran took the lead in the starting rotation, especially after Tim Hudson went down with a broken ankle. Shortstop Andrelton Simmons could be in line for a Gold Glove. Evan Gattis emerged as one of the NL's top rookies. Closer Craig Kimbrel had another dominant season.
"I don't know what's going to happen during the offseason, but I'm already looking forward to spring training," Freeman said.
"Hopefully we can start preparing over again with these same guys. I think we're really close."
But the postseason has been a huge stumbling block. Since winning the NL pennant in 1999, the Braves are 13-30 in playoff games – with only one victory in 11 postseason series during that span.
While the players on this team had nothing to do with most of those October failures (catcher Brian McCann and Hudson were the only holdovers from Atlanta's last division champion in 2005), it has become the defining theme of the franchise going back to the early 1990s, when the Braves managed only one World Series title during a remarkable run of 14 straight division titles.
"All the regular-season accomplishments, those don't count anymore once you get to the postseason," outfielder Jason Heyward said.
With so many young players, the Braves aren't headed for a major overhaul during the offseason. McCann and Hudson are the only prominent players eligible for free agency.
The Braves may look to get a hometown discount from the 37-year-old Hudson to return for another year, which would give the team a much-needed veteran among the 20-something starters.
McCann is another story. While he grew up in the Atlanta area and has been with the Braves his entire career, it seems likely he'll be playing elsewhere next season. Gattis' natural position is catcher, and he showed plenty of promise with 21 homers and 65 RBIs. The Braves also have veteran Gerald Laird and 22-year-old Christian Bethancourt, one of Atlanta's top prospects.
After going 0-for-13 in the playoffs, including four strikeouts in the finale, McCann acknowledged it might be his farewell game in a Braves uniform.
"I'm not even thinking about that," Gonzalez said. "We don't know if that's happening or not."
A more pressing issue for the Braves is how to deal with B.J. Upton and Dan Uggla. The two highest-paid players on the team struggled through miserable seasons.
Upton, in the first season of a five-year, $75.25 million contract, batted .184 with nine homers and 26 RBIs. He lost his starting job, but there's not much the Braves can do except hope for dramatic improvement in 2014, given he's still owed nearly $60 million.
Uggla is even trickier situation. His numbers have gotten progressively worse in three years with the Braves, plummeting to .179 with a franchise-record 171 strikeouts this season. His relationship with the organization is rocky at best after he was left off the postseason roster.
Then again, Uggla is still owed $13 million over each of the next two years, so it's unlikely he could be moved in a trade, and it's debatable if the Braves are willing to take such a big financial hit to get him off the roster.
"We'll be fine," Laird said. "We're building for the future."

Rainy days can be the ultimate bad hair day! If hair is curly, the rain sometimes causes frizz. If hair is straight in the rain, our beautiful strands can fall flat. What a bummer!
As the resident fashionista, I'm here to talk how to perk up that rainy day hair in a jiffy. There are so many things a Bratzie can do!
I'm always a fan of a messy ponytail, pigtails or the uber trendy top-knot. If you're really feelin' down about your hair because of the rain, I suggest trying a hat (like the beret I'm wearing in the photo). There are also really cute slouchy beanies, headbands (try a thick winter, knitted one) or even go sporty with a baseball cap.
Don't let a little wet hair bring ya down!
What hairstyles do you try in the rain? Tell me in a comment, I'm always looking for new tips!

In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil; add rice. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, mint, lime juice, and oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss.
Heat broiler with rack set 4 inches from heat. About 10 minutes before rice is done cooking, place salmon on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Rub salmon with curry, and season with salt and pepper. Broil until just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and serve alongside salad and salmon.

I have rented numerous storage units over the years at various companies. I currently am renting multiple units at this location and could not be more pleased. Mark and his staff have gone beyond my expectations and I am very satisfied with the service I have and am receiving at this location. Mark is very personable, organized, informed and diligent when dealing with my concerns. The facility is one of the cleanest, organized and well managed storage locations I have ever seen. I would highly recommend this location to friends and family and look forward to years as a satisfied consumer. Thank you for giving me my money's worth.Jamie from Coconut Creek, FL

Jose was incredible. Always willing to work with me when payment became an occasional issue. These are the types of places you want to do business.Ernest from Boca Raton, FL
July 24, 2015
There was a female associate, I believe her name was Alicia, she provided me with the absolute best service. I was having a tough week, and she really made it better. Also, I was so impressed by how they recognized and handled my move out automatically. By the time I made it back to Uncle Bob's to close out the account, it was already taken care of. I've worked with Public Storage and other facilities, but as far as customer service goes, this was by far my best experience. Give those people raises!Michael from Ft Lauderdale, FL
July 23, 2015
The manager or employee I dealt with was extremely helpful. Had a problem with the truck i rented, he fixed it in just a few seconds. I forgot to checkout with the front desk, he personally called me to let me know he removed my credit card that was already billed and had the payment taken off for me. That was one of the most impressive experiences I've dealt with.Steven from Boca Raton, FL

Mark was very informative, personable, and knowledgeable. I enjoyed meeting him and leasing a space with you guys!Todd from Coconut Creek, FL.
July 20, 2015
I completely forgot her name but i believe she is the office manager. She is awesome. She always helps me out when i call. She never rushes me and answers my questions. What I noticed and liked the most is that whenever she tells me she can't do something for me- she always follows up with what she can do. THAT is great customer service. I wish I could remember her name!Sonia from Pembroke Pines, FL
July 17, 2015
Your staff at this location is attentive, made us feel secure about storing with you, and was patient with all the questions we had. I have not stored anywhere before, yet I felt like my items were as safe as if they were at home with ME. We are very happy we chose Uncle Bob's and this particular location. Thank you!Sonia from Fort Lauderdale, FL
June 25, 2015
I was in a rush because a moving company was on a time limit so the man at the desk who had helped me got us through the process quickly and answered all of my questions and got us into the best possibly unit. He chose the perfect size, as well!Rebecca from Delray Beach, FL

Mark was a really nice gentleman. I've never used self storage before, and he and the extremely nice facility gave me comfort in knowing I made the right choice.Raymond from New Hope, PA
May 26, 2015
Even though I had a rough day and me and my girlfriend were not in the best mood because moving is a hassle, The assistant manager I think she was (forgot her name) was extremely helpful and patient with us. She explained everything in detail and had a great down to earth attitude that made my visit very pleasant.Jonathan from Coral Springs, FL

By martintheterrible from USA on 2008-01-20 13:21:21Things I liked:Wood stock is absolutely Beautiful. Underlever cocking is better than a break barrel. Action is smooth with very little recoil. I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend the money on such an expensive rifle but now I'm glad that I did. This rifle packs a PUNCH !
Things I would have changed:I would prefer a metal trigger. As for the issue with the awkwardness of having to de-cock, I just discharge the round into the ground.
What others should know:I purchased the .22 cal to kill pigeons and opossum. You can hear the impact when the pellet hits the target. I have shot several pigeons. With a heavy pellet and a head shot the pigeons usually drop with very little fight. However, there have been times that I have used a lighter pellet and been beyond 30 yards or so and the pellet rises or doesn't have enough force to put a kill shot on the pigeon. It's like trying to throw a ping pong ball a hundred miles per hour. I have not shot a opposum yet. I'd imagine that it will take a very well placed head shot to knock a opposum out cold. We'll see.

By poc from USA on 2012-08-01 14:44:48Things I liked:Very nice looking rifle
Things I would have changed:Make it lighter and higher quality for the money
What others should know:I purchased this rifle as a step up to .22 from .177 and what I thouight was a step up from Gamo which I've owned several of. I now prefer the .177 as the .22 lost power after only a few hundred shots and drops like a rock. I've put thousands of shots on both gamo and ruger rifles at 1/4th of the cost. Now im going to have to spend almost $100.00 for warranty repair because of shipping costs to and from umarex. (About the cost of another Gamo) Moral: More expensive is not always better!

Little Johnny's mother was a rectory housekeeper in a small parish. One day, she told Little Johnny that the bishop was coming and that he would be staying at the rectory. Little Johnny became very excited and asked his mother if he would get to meet him. She thought about this and decided that she would let little Johnny bring the bishop tea in the morning and wake him up. Little Johnny agreed to do this and was very excited. His mother gave him instructions: first, knock on the door of the bishops room and then say to him "It's the boy, my Lord; it's time to get up."
Little Johnny rehearsed his lines repeating them over and over. Finally the day came and Little Johnny had learned all his lines. He went to the door and knocked. He was so excited and nervous that his words got mixed up and he said, "It's the Lord, my boy, and your time is up!"
Deacon Jim Walter, in a recent homily at St. Johns, used this tale of a younger generation malaprop to illustrate biblical readings about the end of the world and the final coming of Christ, with a counterpoint that the current season of Advent, observed by many faiths, is the season preparing for the initial coming of Christ Christmas. For billions, this season underscores love. The deacon pointed out that the better prepared we are for Christmas, the better we will enjoy it in all ways.
Little Johnny pointed out that the excitement of preparing for a momentous occasion, paired with the stress of trying to get everything right, can lead to chaos of the tongue as well as to preparations. Mrs. Malaprop became famous in Sheridans 1775 comedy, The Rivals, as a character who spoke with great conviction, but realigned her words humorously.
Nowadays I blend traditions religious, familial and commercial to get the most out of each. I start decorating the day after Thanksgiving and everything stays up until the Wise Men come on January 6. The counter which separates our kitchen from the family room illustrates my efforts.
In the center is a music box featuring a manger scene. It plays Little Town of Bethlehem and I start my day with this as I prepare breakfast. On the left side is a line of Advent candles, which are burned in sequence during the four weeks before Christmas. On the right hand side are two of my favorite modern figures: a Santa Clause holding a present behind his back and a sprig of mistletoe up in front to entice the figure of an English cook. She comes complete with frilly cap and apron and looks up shyly, holding out a plum pudding. This tableau trio helps me keep the season in balance preparing for all the good things to come.
I admit to getting frustrated with the holiday swirl of shopping, cooking and decorating -- and may possibly even mumble some not-for-publication malapropisms. But maybe Little Johnny s twist of the tongue wasnt so very wrong. Maybe I need to keep my eye on my real reason for celebrating love all year long.
Then maybe when the Lord says, My girl, your time is up, Ill be prepared.

The Real Estate Studio is pleased to host a show by sisters Sue and Nance Lee Sneddon, with an artists reception on Thursday, April 25 from 5 to 8 p.m. The show will remain at the studio from April 10 – May 20.
Sue Sneddon and Nance Lee Sneddon return to The Real Estate Studio, 214 King St., with an exhibition of new works, showcasing their different-but-complimentary painting styles.

Nance Lee works primarily with acrylics and mixed medium, while Sue employs mainly oils and pastels.
Nancy Lee Sneddon's work has an exuberant, celebratory tone, weaving images together in a tapestry-like fashion. Sue Sneddon's work includes land and seascapes that capture fleeting moments of beauty, both realistic and meditative.
The Sneddon sisters have shown together in North and South Carolina, and have had numerous solo shows nationally.

Charlie Sheen's Ex Brooke Mueller Is Rushed to Hospital For Drug Overdose: Report
Brooke Mueller has been rushed to an L.A. hospital on December 7 after a drug overdose, reports TMZ.
According to the site, Brooke — who was once married to actor/loose cannon Charlie Sheen — was taken from her home in Tarzana, Calif., to a hospital at 11:42 a.m.
TMZ's sources say that Brooke has been using drugs heavily for the past several weeks, with people close to her getting "deeply concerned."
Brooke is said to now be conscious and responsive, although the drug that she was on is unknown.
Meanwhile, Brooke's rep denies that drugs were involved. "An assistant thought Brooke was non-responsive while she was napping and hastily called an ambulance," says the rep. "As a precaution, Brooke was brought to a local hospital and discharged after an hour. She was diagnosed with exhaustion and dehydration and is now fine and resting at home. That's it."
Brooke has reportedly had more than 15 stints in rehab. She was photographed leaving Mr. Chow's restaurant in Beverly Hills last night.
Our thoughts are with Brooke as she continues to recover.

We are clearly bad planners. It seems that everyone in my family is determined to have their birthday within a nod and a wink of Christmas.
There is a small 'glut' of birthday activity around this time of year. The two boys, whilst fate kept them 7 years apart, still managed to be born within 4 days of each other's birthday. In your face, mama. Nieces, sisters-in-law and husbands also thoughtlessly follow close behind.
To add insult to injury this week, we have all gone down with some vile lurgy like flies, one after the other. George spent his big day wrapped in a duvet on the sofa spooning Calpol down as fast as he could. Ollie nursed a high temperature to brave his party.
Another year older and no less my babies. I wonder will it always feel like this, even when they're 30? Still in your mind as fragile and needy as the tiny creature you nursed and cosseted as a newborn? I expect so. I spend my days worrying about my dad, and I fully expect he spends his worrying about us in the same way he has for over 40 years. Once a parent……
Anyway, I shall blame the rambling on my viral condition …the screen is looking increasingly wobbly and it's not my eyesight.
A good birthday season has parties, and Oliver did go to the ball. A select section of his 'harem' from Nursery took to the Soft Play zone for a mammoth run about. Trampolining proved a hit, and a close second was squeezing Oliver's mummy through tight-holed ascent to the top layer of the soft play area. Not a pretty sight. Cake and chips rounded off a perfect Birthday tea!
Oh, and a word on reaching 11. How depressing as a mother when the realisation dawns that your spiderman-batman-MrIncredible-Pirate-Soldier-Cowboy-DarthVader son no longer wants to prance about in a lycra outfit. In fact, he no longer wants presents to open. What he wants is hard cash. Wonga. Money. He has his 11 year old eyesfixed firmly on the unobtainable gleaming iPad prize, and is all set to chore his way to nirvana. We are but a hop, skip and a jump away from girls in the bedroom. Ouch.

The Mead Hall Middle School girls' basketball team completed an undefeated season, capturing the Aiken/Augusta Middle School League Basketball Championship for the third consecutive year. Mead Hall (9-0) continued its dominance in the league with a 34-27 win over rival Hillcrest Baptist of Augusta.
First-year head coach Brian Johnson said he was proud of his girls. Johnson's familiar with the successful Mead Hall program after serving as the assistant coach under former USC Aiken star Meredith Legg for the previous two championship seasons.
In the championship game, Mead Hall outscored the Hillcrest 10-3 in the first quarter. Momentum shifted in the second quarter when Kayla Washington of Hillcrest hit a pair of 3-pointers. Hillcrest outscored Mead Hall 14-7 to go into halftime tied at 17. The third quarter was tight throughout until Mead Hall's Faith Kneece hit a 3-pointer to give the Lady Panthers a five point lead going into the fourth quarter. Sydney Toole and Kneece finished the game strong scoring a combined seven points in the final quarter to secure the championship.
"There has been no bigger blessing in either my professional or coaching career than to be able to coach this group of girls that compete on this level each time out," Johnson said.
Kneece, Mead Hall's leading scorer on the season, was rock solid again with 19 points in the title game. Kneece, who averaged 18 points a game, will return next year for her final season of middle school basketball. Toole followed Kneece with five points. Others scoring for Mead Hall included Donna Andres (four points), as well as Meagan Musik, Malia Bryan and Kendall Johnson all contributing two points each.

The Hidden Costs Of Fighting Polio In Pakistan
Originally published on Tue July 29, 2014 11:06 pm
Pakistan is currently at the center of the global effort to eradicate polio. Although the country has reported only about a hundred cases this year, that's more cases than in all other nations combined.
Eliminating the paralyzing disease is a major logistical operation in Pakistan. More than 200,000 vaccinators fan out across the country, several times a year, to inoculate millions of children. The government also deploys tens of thousands of armed security forces to guard the workers.
All this is happening while Pakistan is fighting against the Taliban — and that militant group continues to threaten polio vaccinators and parents who immunize their children.
The polio campaign is costing Pakistani lives, national pride and precious health resources. Some health leaders are starting to question whether the focus on polio is worth it.
"All the immunization workers have been redirected into the polio campaign, which has resulted in another disaster: Our routine immunization has gone down to as low as 30 percent or less," says Dr. Raza Jamal, of the National Institute of Child Health in Karachi. "So that has resulted in epidemics of measles, diphtheria, cases of pertussis — which we had stopped seeing for a long time."
Jamal supports the polio eradication effort. But, he says, it has become a national obsession and has taken a huge toll on Pakistan's already overstretched health system.
Polio is only one of many challenges facing the poor country. People lack access to jobs, sanitation, decent housing, clean water and electricity. Criminal gangs terrorize the slums of Karachi. Pakistan has a major terrorism problem.
Last month, militants in suicide vests fought a five-hour gunbattle with security forces at the Karachi airport, which left 38 people dead. On the same day, 22 Shiite pilgrims were attacked and killed near the Iranian border.
Amid all this, Western health officials have pushed polio to the front of the country's national agenda.
Mazhar Nisar coordinates anti-polio campaigns for the Pakistani Ministry of Health, but even he thinks the constant drumbeat on polio can be a problem. "There is a serious fatigue factor in the parents," he says. "There is a serious fatigue factor among the providers."
Coordinating the mass immunization drives all across the country is a major logistical operation for the health department. And parents have started to question why the government is directing so much attention to this one disease, Nisar says.
"They [parents] said, 'When we go to the hospital, we don't get the medicines. We don't get the proper treatment. My child is dying of diarrhea. My child has measles. And yet every four or six weeks, you come with the polio vaccine,' " he says.
But being one of the last nations on Earth with polio — even if it's just a hundred cases — is an embarrassment for the government.
"There are people at the highest level [of the government] who've told me they start their day with polio, they end their day with polio, as if this is the only priority," says Zulfiqar Bhutta, a professor of pediatrics at the Aga Khan University in Karachi. Bhutta has worked on polio for decades.
Polio eradication is very important, he says. But it's unclear how long Pakistan can stay focused on mass immunization drives. "What we need to go and try to do is something a bit more holistic," he says, "rather than trying to focus on a single intervention and a single program that bears very little relevance to the lives and livelihoods of people."
Pakistan should work to improve its basic health services, Bhutta says, so kids get immunized for polio along with everything else; and sanitation should be upgraded so the polio virus can't contaminate drinking water.
But projects like those take even more time — and more resources — than the current barrage of polio immunization campaigns.
Pakistan is now at the center of a global effort to eradicate polio. While the country's only had about 100 cases this year, there is now more polio in Pakistan than the rest of the world combined. The drive to eliminate the paralyzing disease is a major logistical operation. And it's happening while the country is fighting a vicious insurgency against the Taliban. The polio campaign is costing Pakistani lives, national pride and precious health resources. NPR's Jason Beaubien recently visited Karachi, the country's largest and most chaotic city and filed this report.
JASON BEAUBIEN, BYLINE: To get into the main Children's Hospital in Karachi you have to pass a phalanx of motorcycle-taxi drivers, guard with an AK-47 and a massive metal traffic boom - set up to deter potential terrorist attacks. And then pass the polio-women, teams of vaccinators in black burqas and polio-free Pakistan baseball caps. These female vaccinators are at the front gate, they're in the hallways and in the main waiting room searching for children under the age of five to immunize. If a child's finger isn't covered in ink to show a recent polio inoculation the women squeeze two drops of the vaccine into the child's mouth. Doctor Raza Jamal runs the hospital from a busy office on the second floor.
RAZA JAMAL: This is the largest, second-largest children's hospital in the country so all the cases that are from the region mostly can refer to us.
BEAUBIEN: Last year that was just four polio cases. Doctor Jamal supports the polio eradication effort but he says it's become a national obsession. And he adds that it's taking a huge toll on Pakistan's already over-stretched health system.
JAMAL: All the immunization workers have been redirected into the polio campaign which has resulted in other disaster and our routine immunization rates have gone down to as low as 30 percent or less. So that has resulted in epidemics of measles, cases of diphtheria, cases of pertussis which we have stopped seeing for a long time.
BEAUBIEN: During nationwide polio campaigns some 200,000 vaccinators fan out across the country to inoculate children and these days the government has had to deploy thousands of armed security forces to guard them. Two years ago, the Taliban started killing polio vaccinators. The militants were irate over the CIA setting up a fake hepatitis vaccination campaign in the country to spy on Osama bin Laden. Since then the Taliban and has gunned down more than 60 polio workers.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN 1: Clearly it is not just a medical issue anymore and it's a huge political problem.
BEAUBIEN: And polio is one of many significant challenges facing the country. There's a huge security problem in Pakistan. Last month there was a five-hour gun battle at the Karachi airport between militants in suicide vests and security forces.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN 2: (Foreign language spoken).
BEAUBIEN: The attack was broadcast live on local TV, left 38 people dead and shut down international air travel from the country's largest airport. People here lack access to jobs, sanitation, decent housing, electricity. Criminal gangs terrorize the slums of Karachi. This is life in chaotic Pakistan. And on top of all this, Western health officials have pushed polio to the front of the country's national agenda and Pakistan keeps plugging away at the disease.
BEAUBIEN: Polio workers vaccinate kids at bus stations, at the airport and here aboard a stifling hot train car in the Karachi railway station. Two vaccinators shove their way through the economy class cabins. Just like at the hospital they snatch up children, squeeze their cheeks together, drop the vaccine into their mouths, mark their little fingers and, with in a few seconds, move on. Mazhar Nisar from the Pakistan Ministry of Health says, the constant drumbeat on polio can be a problem.
MAZHAR NISAR: There is a serious fatigue factor in the parents. There is a serious fatigue factor amongst the providers.
BEAUBIEN: Coordinating the mass immunization drives all across the country - the major logistical operation. And Nisar says, parents have started to question why there's so much attention on this one disease.
NISAR: They said, you know, when we go to the hospital we don't get the medicines and we don't get proper treatment and my child is dying of diarrhea, my child has measles. So every 4 or 6 weeks you come with the polio vaccine.
BEAUBIEN: This is in part because Pakistan is under intense international pressure to wipe out the disease. Last month the country got hit with new World Health Organization travel requirements, forcing all Pakistanis to show proof of polio immunization before they can leave the country. Meanwhile, in another blow to national pride, the WHO declared Pakistan's perpetual rival India polio-free earlier this year. Being one of the last nations with polio, even if it's just a few dozen cases, has become an embarrassment for the government.
ZULFIQAR BHUTTA: There are people at the highest level who have told me that they start their day with polio, they end their day with polio. As if this is the only priority.
BEAUBIEN: Zulfiqar Bhutta professor of pediatrics at the Aga Khan University in Karachi, has worked on polio for decades. He says, it's unclear how long Pakistan can stay focused on mass polio immunization drives.
BHUTTA: What we need to go and try and do is something a little bit more holistic, rather than just be singularly focused on a single intervention and a single program that bears there's very little relevance to the lives and livelihoods of people.
BEAUBIEN: By holistic, he means improving the basic health services so kids get immunized for polio along with everything else. Upgrading sanitation so the virus can't contaminate drinking water. What Bhutta's talking about is nation building, development which will take even more time and money than the current barrage of polio immunization campaigns. Jason Beaubien, NPR News.
SHAPIRO: Tomorrow on Morning Edition, we'll hear from parents in Pakistan. A team of pollsters from Harvard and UNICEF went door-to-door asking for parent's views on this controversial effort to wipe out polio.
The U.S. says Russia has violated a landmark nuclear treaty that helped put an end to the Cold War. The Obama administration says that in 2011 Russia tested a band missle in violation of the treaty. President Obama wrote to Vladimir Putin about the issue directly. Russian officials say they've looked into the allegations and consider the matter closed. The Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty was signed by the U.S. and Russia in 1987 and it called for the destruction of both countries ground launch missiles. At the time, President Reagan remarked that in terms of compliance both nations would find wisdom in an old Russian Maxim.
PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN: Doveryai, no proveryai - trust, but verify. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

I've been a looooong time fan of Mr King, and I think this may have been one of the best adaptations of his books to screen.
The whole movie was so true to the written story, and that's got to be difficult to cover in such a surreal invasion of our world, with no in-depth investigation of why it happens. We hear a character talk of a rumour of army experiments, but other than that, we're expected to just deal with the situation.
Sure, it's a horror story, but as usual, it's King's handling of people's relationships, especially under torment, that binds the horror together into something more.
Some of the more "emotional" novels have crossed brilliantly into film (Green Mile, Shawshank, Hearts etc), but some of the "scarier" ones can really lose their feel if not handled properly. Pet Semetary, Misery and Cujo were all great adaptations, but some others have crashed and burned for me.
The second that I saw the painting of Roland in the house in one of the first scenes in The Mist, I knew we were in for a good one. How much did Stephen King have to do with the direction of The Mist, does anyone know? I think I remember an extra segment on the DVD- with him and the director chatting about the film?
The Mist movie ending was really risky but worked perfectly for me. Nice twist on a book that was pretty much open ended from memory (it's been a while), and it kept the sombre feel of the whole story. Thoughts?

Ray Tanner will be named the next Athletic Director at the University of South Carolina this coming Friday.
Tanner was on the short list to replace the departing Eric Hyman, who resigned to take the AD position at Texas A&M. The Gamecocks' baseball coach has expressed a great desire to work in an administration role when his coaching career was complete. He was interested in this position back in 2005 when Eric Hyman ultimately was hired in the job.
When the job came open seven years later, Tanner was the easy choice for USC president Harris Pastides.
The athletic department is riding high off of several great years of Gamecock athletics. The teams are competing at levels above and beyond what they have in the past, facilities has improved tremendously and the fan base is enthusiastic about all the good things happening in Columbia right now.
Ray Tanner will have to use his prior experience as Associate AD at N.C. State along with his experiences running the Gamecocks baseball program to bring him success in his new position.
There are a few things that Ray Tanner will need to do, or look into, during his time as Athletic Director. Here are a few ideas of what could come from Ray Tanner now that he's in charge.

Highway 78 widening
This is about Highway 78. There was a plan many years ago to widen 78, which is a direct link to Charleston and is a heavily traveled road. You find four lanes in some of the smaller towns in the Lowcountry. This road should be widened instead of the bypass. I'm wondering what happened to the money that was set aside at one time for this project. It just fizzled out. I would love to know.
Yellow lines
I would like to know who I could call to put the yellow lines on the road behind Bank of America and Red Lobster. It's an accident waiting to happen. People are driving all over the road.
Palmetto X
In regard to the Palmetto X Gas Station on the parkway, I thought they were denied a permit to have access to the parkway itself, only 421, yet cars are entering and exiting on the parkway entrance. Is there some way to get someone to look into that?
Has anyone ever heard a lawyer say "yes" or "no?"
Bypass widening
This is in response to the TalkBack in favor of the widening of the bypass. I was not even born when the proposal for the bypass was done in the '70s, and I also did not live in Aiken, so how was I to know about the widening? And for getting such a good deal, how do you know if all those houses got good deals or not? The S.C. Department of Transportation should have controlled the building of houses so close to the proposed bypass. Since they did not, now your tax dollars will have to pay to buy all those houses back, and I hope we get a good deal.There are a lot more roads that need improvements instead of widening the bypass. But if they have to pave it and widen it, everyone should sign up to sue unless they do it right. We need sound barriers and Leyland cyprus.
Security breach
I see where the S.C. Democrats are calling for an independent investigation regarding the security breach in the state tax department, even though the governor has already admitted mistakes were made. What's really ironic is that their counterparts in Washington are remaining silent about the travesty that occurred in Benghazi and the obvious attempted cover-up by the Obama administration. What a bunch of political hypocrites.
Thank you
My husband and I would like to thank the person who paid for our dinner Thursday at Cracker Barrel. It was so thoughtful, and we really do appreciate it.
