Here and below, this sort of code is highly questionable.  You
evidently don't realize that some of the bits in the PORTSC registers
are R/WC.  This means writing a 1 to these bits will clear them.  

Consequently it is almost always wrong to read a PORTSC register and
then write back the same (or a slightly modified) value.
