Officials also noted that under the Commanders Emergency Response Program, 450 classrooms have been added to an additional 84 schools, benefiting more than 16,000 students.

"More than 58,000 children have been affected," said Pradip Patel, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers program manager. "Students will be able to study in clean, painted classrooms, use new toilet facilities and new water fountains, and play in newly constructed playgrounds surrounded by perimeter walls. These renovated facilities will definitely motivate students and teachers to focus on classroom activities."

I hope you folks realize how much I've come to count on these posts to start my day off right. If I listened solely to teevee news (including Fox), I'd think we really were in a "quagmire." That's how they paint it. Then along comes Calpernia and Sandrat, telling the parts of the stories the rest of the media ignores. (But thanks to Fox and Palkot for the one hour of sanity they produced awhile back.)
