Smallpox was never cured--they just developed a vaccine for it. New vaccines continue to be developed, for example hand foot and mouth disease (2013), HPV (2006), rotavirus (1998), Lyme disease (1998), hepatitis A (1992), and the list goes on...

22 lbs!?! "Drag along" is right
One of the fun things about multi-day rafting trips is you have space to take pretty much whatever you want. It's common for the beer rations alone to exceed 100 pounds. The weight can actually help the boat punch through large waves...or at least that's what we tell ourselves.
Lodge is awesome, though. I have the 6 qt enamel dutch oven for the kitchen, use it for bread, deep drying, soup, etc. Though I see it's now over $100!? Jeez, I bought it about 5 years ago for $50. Guess Walmart is good for something after all...
That's just Lodge's crazy MSRP. Amazon Prime has the enameled 6 qt for $45 with Prime shipping.

Ideally you would want one of the flanged lid models. I drag one along on rafting trips for pizza, lasagna, biscuits, brownies, and any other deliciousness we might want.

The FOIA that we all know and love is a federal law that applies to federal agencies. West Virginia, like most states, has their own public records law that applies to their state agencies which you'll need to read to know whether they're in violation.
Maybe they're claiming exemption #13:

It does work with two screens if you setup your displays to meet at the corners rather than at the sides. For example, if I want to move something to the display on my left, I drag it through the upper left corner of my primary.

I have a 2.2 mile commute from SE Portland to downtown. 0.4 miles are on quiet side streets, 1.6 are in bike lanes or multi-use paths, and 0.2 are on busy streets sharing the lane with motor vehicles.
Not every city is like yours.
