When Shelby County Commissioners on Wednesday, Jan. 22, discuss a proposal to take the Shelby County Schools board to nine members, commissioner Steve Basar will propose that the commission instead stay at its current seven members.
Commissioner Mike Ritz is expected to advance his plan for a nine-member school board in Wednesday committee sessions. The nine districts would cover the city of Memphis and unincorporated Shelby County only, and would exclude the six suburban towns and cities that are forming their own school systems.
Without any changes by the commission, the school board is scheduled to go to a 13-district structure with six new board members being elected in the August county general election. All 13 new districts will be on the ballot in August. Several candidates in those races have already pulled qualifying petitions to run, and the deadline for candidates to file in those races is April 3.

The International Monetary Fund is slightly more optimistic about the global and U.S. economies this year than it was three months ago.
In an updated outlook released Tuesday, the global lending organization forecasts that the world economy will grow 3.7 percent in 2014 and that the U.S. economy will grow 2.8 percent. The global forecast is 0.1 percentage point higher and the U.S. forecast 0.2 point higher than the IMF's October forecast.
After a sluggish start, global economic growth picked up in the second half of 2013. As a result, growth amounted to 3 percent last year. The IMF expects it will be even stronger growth this year.
"The recovery is indeed strengthening, but as we have said many times in the past, much work remains to be done," IMF chief economist Olivier Blanchard said Tuesday during a conference call.
The IMF forecasts that the U.S. economy grew 1.9 percent last year. And its 2.8 percent forecast for this year would match U.S. growth in 2012. Part of the anticipated improvement is based on expectations for less drag from higher U.S. taxes and across-the-board spending cuts.
By 2015, the IMF forecast the U.S. economy will grow 3 percent, or 0.4 percentage point lower than its October forecast. The IMF reduced its outlook because a recent budget agreement left in place most of the spending cuts. The IMF had expected most of those cuts to have been eliminated by next year.
The IMF said that the United States and other major economies should be careful not to pull back prematurely on the economic support being provided by the Federal Reserve and other central banks. That's because unemployment in many countries remains high and inflation is low.

This article is about recovering TeraStation systems that are failing to load correctly to get them back to a working state
Before attempting to do any of the articles described in this article you want to first read the wiki article on Terastation Data Recovery.
It covers several types of failures:
- A single disk fails
- Failures to start the boot process
- The system fails to complete the boot process
- The system appears to boot OK, but the Web GUI and File Shares are inaccessible.
Systems Covered
The systems that are currently covered by this article include all the original PPC based Models:
- Original TeraStation
- TeraStation Home Server
- TeraStation Pro v1
The following ARM based systems are not currently covered:
- Terastation Live
- TeraStation Pro v2
Booting Process
To understand the recovery processes that are described here it is very advantageous to have an understanding of how the boot process works.
It runs in various stages:
- A boot loader is loaded from flash
- The boot loader now runs a Linux kernel and a very basic Linux system from disk, with the system files being run from a RAM disk. The disk arrays are started.
- The Linux kernel is switched to running from the System are (partition 1) of the hard disk.
- The system services such as Samba file sharing, the Buffalo Web GUI and (if relevant) File Transfer service, Printer Service, Telnet and the Media server services are started.
Failures can occur at any of these stages and the recovery process to be followed will be dependant on identifying at which stage he boot process failed.
Failure Symptoms
The Original and the Home Server TeraStations report problems by lighting up a Red DIAG light. This light then flashes a number of times to indicate the type of problem detected.
The TeraStation Pro v1 has a LED display instead, and if problems are encountered it displays a Exx type error code.
If the system fails almost immediately it normally means that there is a flash based problem. These are by far the hardest to recover from.
If the system fails after around 30 seconds or more into the Booting process, then this normally means that there is a problem with the System area on the Hard Disks. This type of problem should almost always be recoverable as long as one is very careful about the steps that are carried out.
It is also possible for a single disk to fail. If you are using a RAID5 or a RAID1 array then this situation can be recovered without losing any user data. This is described in the section on replacing a single drive
Replacing the Hard Disks
This section covers using Hard Disks of up to 500Gb which is the maximum size supported by the standard Buffalo software on the PPC based TeraStations. If you want to try and use disks that are larger than this size look at the article on TeraStation and Large Hard Disks.
Replacing a Single disk in a RAID5 array
If a single disk has failed in a RAID5 array, then the system can be recovered without reasonably easily without any data loss. On the Original and Home servermodels a disk failure is indicated by the Disk Status light turning Red. Note that this light is also used to indicate a Disk Full status (more than 90% of disk used) so if all disk Status lights turn Red this is almost certainly the reason. At this point the TeraStation will continue to operate normally, and if you go into the Web GUI you will be told that one or more of the disk arrays have "Low Disk Space". If a disk has failed then you will be told that instead.
The first thing is to decide if the disk really has failed - or whether some sort of data corruption has made the TeraStation think that the drive has failed. Spurious reports of disk failures seem to be quite frequent, and are particularily likely to happen after a power failure. The best way to do this is to attach the drive to a PC and run the manufacturer's disk diagnostic software to check the drive. If this is not possible, then you can simply clear down that drive and see if the disk comes back to life.
Preparing a Drive
There are a few things you need to check before attempting to use a drive:
- If you have a new drive and it is IDE based is to ensure that the jumpers are set correctly. Most new drives come with the jumpers set for the drive to operate in "Slave" mode on the assumption that they are being added to a working PC. The TeraStation requires that the drive be set to operate in Single/Master mode. There should be a digram on the drive showing what the correct jumper setting are for the different modes of working. For SATA drives as used in the TeraStation Pro this is not an issue.
- Removing any existing partitions. Most new drives come without any partitions and would probably work immediately. However some manufacturers try to be "helpful" and provide their drives already partitioned and formatted. If you have a drive in this state (or you are trying to re-use a previously used drive) these partitions need to be removed.
Using a PC to remove partitions
For most users using a PC is probably the easiest way to proceed. This involves:
- Remove the drive from the TeraStation and attaching it to a PC either internally or via an external disk enclosure. For the IDE based models (Original and Home Server) there are instructions on how to open the case to get at the drives at the back of the manual. For the Pro v1 using SATA drives it is much easier as the door at the front can be opened and the drives simply released and slid out.
- Run the Windows Disk Manager software to remove all the partitions on the drive.
- Replace the drive in the TeraStation.
- Switch on the TeraStation.
Using the TeraStation to remove partitions
This option is only possible if you already have telnet enabled firmware installed on your TeraStation.If you have got telnet enabled firmware installed on your TeraStation:
- telnet to the TeraStation, and log in with a user with root privileges (e.g. myroot)
- Run the disk partitioning software using a command of the form
mfdisk //dev/devicewhere device is hda/hdc/hde/hdg for the four drives in IDE based models or sda/sdb/sdc/sdd for those in the Pro model. Make sure you get the right device name as otherwise you will lose all your data.
- Delete all partitions on the disk
- Save the results back to the partition table. This will exit the mfdisk program with an error message about being unable to resync procee the disks.
- Use the"reboot" command to stop/restart the system
Recovering the Array
- The system should now come up without issues, but when you go into the Web GUI it will tell you that the RAID array has been damaged.
- Select the RAID array and you will be taken to the screen where the array is repaired. You should be able to select the drive that failed (all the others should be greyed out) and given an option to repair the array.
- If you select this option then (depending on the firmware release) you will be given a screen in Japanese asking you to enter a displayed number as a confirmation. Enter the number and then select the left-most button to proceed.
- The system will put up a screen about recovering the array. At this point the new drive will be partitioned and formatted, and added to the RAID array. While this is going on (which normally takes a few minutes) all file access to the TeraStation is suspended.
- Once the array has been "fixed" the File Serving services will be resumed, and the the process of Resyncing the array will start. During this stage file accesss is allowed, but performance is degraded. This stage can take a long time with the length of time depending on the size of the array - as an example a 1Tb array takes about 5.5 hours, and other sizes will be pro-rata.
When replacing the drive is is recommended if at all possible that you replace the drive with another of the same make and model. Some people have success with using a different make/model that is of the same size (or larger) so it isn up to you whether you try this.
When you are going to replace the drive, then the replacement should be unformatted wtih nopartitions on it. If it is an IDE model (the Orignal and Home Server models), then make sure that the jumpers are set it make it the Master/Only drive. Many drives come with the jumpers set to Slave on the assumption that they are being added as an additional drive to an existing PC. If the jumpers are incorrectly set to the Slave position then the drive will not be recognised by the TeraStation.
Replacing All the Hard Disks
The most likely reason for replacing all disks is that you are intending to upgrade the capacity of your TeraStation.
If the new disks are of size 500Gb or less then proceed as follows:
- Replace all existing drives with 4 identical drives. If they are IDE drives ensure that the jumpers are set for them to be Master/Only drives. Also make sure that there are no existing partitions on the drives.
- Switch the TeraStation on and it will come up in EM-Mode ready to accept a reflash.
- You will probably need to reflash the system twice - once to partition/format the drives, and the second time to copy the system software to the new hard disks. If during the flashing process you get a timeout message, then quit the Flashing process. Leave the TeraStation alone until all the disk activity lights have stopped, and then start the second flash. When flashing it is a good idea to use the Debug Mode of the firmware updater, and set the option to "clear user-config".
- At the end of this process the system will be operating as if it was a brand new TeraStation at the new disk capacity.
If you want to use disks that are larger than 750Gb then see this articl on TeraStation and Larger Hard Disksyou need to work around the fact that the PPC based TeraStations use a 2.4 Linux Kernel that is limited to 2Tb in a single file system. You can work around this as described below:
- Start by flashing just as described above, but make sure that you use a telnet enabled firmware release. Such releases can be obtained for PPC based TeraStations from Itimpi's Web site.
Telnet Enabled Firmware
TeraStations internally run the Linux operating system. Buffalo hide this from the average user providing the system "packaged" and with a browser based GUI to control and configure iy. Telnet enabled firmware allows users to log in using a telnet client to control and manipulate the system at the Linux command line level.
This allows users to do things like:
- Configure the system at a more detailed level than allowed for by the Buffalo GUI.
- Upgrade components of the underlying software to newer versions with additional feature and/or bug fixes included.
- Install new applications to extend the functionality of the Terastation.
- In the event of any problems being encountered allow for a level of access that gives more chance of recovering user data without loss.
The changes described in this article require the use of a telnet enabled release. Hopefully the instructions provided are detailed enough that users can carry out the steps provided without needing much linux knowledge.
The standard software supplied with buffalo PPC based TeraStations does not provide for telnet access. Telnet enabled releases of firmware corresponding to virtually all Buffalo firmware releases can be found at itimpi's website. These are identical in functionality to the corresponding Buffalo firmware releases - the modification to add telent functionality being trivial. This means they will have exactly the same bugs (if any) as are found in the Buffalo releases.
The itimpi firmware releases are the ones that have been used while preparing this article. Firmware from other sources should work fine as long as it is telnet enabled.
To use telnet you need a telnet client. A rudimentary one is included with Windows which you can invoked by typing a command of the following form into the Windows Run box:
telnet TeraStation_address
A freeware one called PuTTY is recommended as a much better alternative. In addition to the standard telnet protocol PuTTY also supports the more secure SSH variant (although additional components need installing at the TeraStation end to support this).
EM Mode
Using the Firmware Updater
Just to be safe, it is a good idea to back up your data before attempting this upgrade. If things go well your data will survive fine, but if anything goes wrong there is a small chance that your data will no longer be accessible.
The computer running this firmware update program must be connected to the TeraStation's network by a wired connection. A wireless connection will not do! Disable any firewall software on the PC before running the firmware update. Unzip the firmware in the file you downloaded into a folder on your PC.
To apply this update you need to run the firmware updater program that is the folder you created when unzipping the downloaded firmware. The name of this program can vary according to what version of firmware you downloaded, but should be the only executable program in the folder. The firmware updater program runs fine on Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP2. For XP SP1 and other versions of Windows, set the program to run in Windows 2000 compatibility mode Do this by right-clicking on the updater (e.g. HD-HTGL FWUpdate.exe) icon, selecting Properties, and choosing the compatibility tab.Put a check next to Run this program in compatibility mode for: and select Windows 2000 from the drop-box if it's not already there.
Execute the application file (e.g. HD-HTGL FWUpdate.exe).
Normal Mode
This will come up with a dialog like the following:
and report some basic information about the TeraStation including its current firmware version. <p> If you have multiple teraStations, then select the appropriate one from the drop-down list. Note that only TeraStation models for which this update is valid will be listed). Click on the Update button (sometimes labelled as Renew Firmware). On Japanese versions of the Updater program this is the leftmost button on the main screen. On the next window it will ask for an Admin password. By default the username is:Admin and the password is: password. Of course, if you've changed the Admin password on the TeraStation, use your new one! The firmware update will take 3 to 5 minutes to complete and while it is running a number of dialogs will be displayed informaing you of progress. If you never get the OK button, or you get a failure or error message, you may want to try the steps below:
- On the computer that you are doing the firmware update from, make sure that any software firewalls (such as Windows Firewall,ZoneAlarm, Black Ice, etc.) are disabled.
- Make sure that your computer is connected to the network with a wired Ethernet connection, not a wireless one.
- If the firmware update still fails, try a different setup:
- Connect the TeraStation directly to your computer, with either a regular Ethernet or crossover cable, directly from the TeraStation's RJ-45 Ethernet port to the RJ-45 port on your computer's network interface card.
- Change the IP address of your computer to 192.168.11.100 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
- Reset the TeraStation by holding down the Init button for 30 seconds. Power down the TeraStation, then turn it back on.
- Ping 192.168.11.150 to make sure that your PC is able to communicate with the TeraStation.
- Click on Start, then select Run.
- In the run window enter "cmd" and press OK. This will give you a Command Prompt window.
- Type ping 192.168.11.150 and press the enter key.<p>If your connection is good, you'll see the words "Reply from" in response to the 4 attempted pings.<p> If the connection is bad, you'll likely see "request timed out" instead.
If that happens, something is wrong with your Ethernet connection.
Check your Ethernet cable, reset the TeraStation again, and make sure that there are no firewall programs running on the computer (and that includes the Windows XP firewall!).
Restart the TeraStation and try pinging again until you get a successful ping.
Then go to step 5.
- Rerun the firmware update.
- Once the update has completed, reconnect your TeraStation and PC to your network.
- Change your IP address back to "obtain an IP address automatically". Windows XP users will need to also make sure that DNS is set back to "obtain DNS server address automatically".
- Run the IP Setup Utility again and setup your IP address to work with your network
- You may want to log back into the TeraStation to make sure that the unit is setup the way you want it. After doing the reset, all files and folders will remain but any user or folder
Debug Mode
If you are having problems you might want to run the Flash Updater in Debug Mode
To do this the first thing you need to do is to check the .INI file (normally called NASUPDATER.INI) that is the same folder as the executable program. You can load it into any text editor such as Notepad. Check that it includes the following lines:
[SpecialFlags] Debug = 1
If their is already a [SpecialFlags] section in this file, then merely add the Debug line.
Once you have done this, when you start the program for flashing it will present its initial screen along the lines indicated earlier.
If you now click on the yellow rings at the top left of the screen you are able to select the Debug option which comes up with the following dialog:
which allows you to control elements of the flashing process.
The default options fora standard flash will be pre-selected. Options you might want to consider altering are:
- BOOT: This indicates that the Boot area of the Flash should be renewed
- KERNEL: This indicates that the copy of the Linux kernel in Flash should be updated.
- HDD: This indicates that the main Linux system held on the Hard Disk should be updated.
- Do Not Check Version: Do not carry out any firmware version checks. Normally you are only allowed to update to a higher version than that already installed. Setting this option allows one to downgrade versions.
- Rebuild Partition Table: This Clears down all partitions on the disk, and then rebuilds the standard Partition table and formats these partitions.
- Delete user-Config: This clears down the user config information that is stored in flash while the flashing is in progress, and then restored to the hard disk on completion. Setting this option will return all settings to factory defaults.
When you have the settings as you want them to be, press the OK button to return to the main screen ready to start flashing.
Flash Error
A Flash Error is indicated by:
- TeraStation Pro: Error E04 on LCD Panel
- TeraStation Original or Home Some Sever: 5 blinks every four seconds of red Diag light
The full list of Diag LED codes can be found [url=http://buffalo.nas-central.org/index.php/Hardware_LEDs here].
Flash errors are actually very rare unless they occur just after you have done a firmware upgrade and it turns out that you have a defective flash chip so that the update failed.
In practise it has been found that a good rule-of-thumb is that if the above error occurs very rapidly (i.e. within about 5 seconds) after power on then it probably really is a Flash error. If it takes much longer (greater than 30 seconds) and the system appears to start its normal booting sequence before this error is given then it is actually much more likely that the system files on the hard disk have become corrupted.
To recover from a genuine flash error requires use of the JTAG method of reqriting the flash. This is covered in a number of wiki articles if you want to attempt to do this yourself. There are also a number of forum members who are prepared to attempt JTAG recoveries on behalf of members. If you are interested in availing yourself of such a facility you should post a forum message giving your location so that members who are geographically closest to you can be identifed.
To recover from the situation where the system will not boot look at the section below.
Boot Does not complete
Network Will not Start
Clearing Down the System Partition
There are times when clearing down the system partition will force the system to boot from Flash, and then come up in a mode where you can force the files on the System partition to be rewritten.
Making a Backup of the Partition
It is trongly recommended that if at all possible you make a backup of the system partition before clearing it. This means if that for any reason you have misdiagnosed the problem with your TeraStation and you want to restore it you can do so.
To do this:
- Remove Disk 1 from the teraStation and attach it to another system. This can be done either internally or via an external Disk Enclosure attached via USB or Firewire.
- Boot the system into Linux. If your system does not run Linux normally, then you can use one of the "Live" distirbutions that run from CD/DVD rather than the hard disk. This would avoid you ahving to actually install Linux onto this system.
- Make sure that you know how to run commands with 'root' priveleges. Depending on the variant of linux chosen this may mean either logging in as 'root' or running commands via the 'sudoer' facility.
- The system will probably have automounted the TeraStation hard disk. If so you check what it has been mounted as using the
Now unmount it using a command of the form:
umount /dev/devicenamewhere the devicename value will be the one you noticed was used for the TeraStation disk in the output of the
mount command.
- Make a copy of the TeraStation system partition using a command of the form:
dd if=/dev/devicename of=/filenamewhere devicename is as described above, and filename is the output file. This file will be a little under 400Mb in size. Make sure that it is secured somewhere that will not be lost when you reboot the linux system (such as USB stick or ectenal USB drive).

Ameren Gets OK for Transmission Line in Illinois
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - State regulators have given Ameren permission to acquire the right-of-way to build a 380-mile-long transmission line across Illinois.
The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers reports that Ameren Transmission received approval from the Illinois Commerce Commission for section of Coles, Douglas, Moultrie and Piatt counties. The high-voltage transmission line is planned to be 150-feet wide and run from Quincy to Terre Haute (TEHR'-uh HOHT), Indiana.
Regulators denied construction in certain areas and the St. Louis-based company says it is reviewing its options on routing those segments. Construction is scheduled to begin as early as 2014.
The line will have 80 to 90-foot tall poles on 12-foot wide concrete bases. The company says that's to allow landowners to use land for farming or grazing.

Bobby Bonilla is still getting over on the New York Mets.
The club, struggling to make payroll and looking to sell part of the franchise to stay above water, deferred nearly $6 million in Bonilla's final year with the team and added an 8 percent interest rate that will start to be paid out on July 1 as part of a deal that helped the Mets release Bonilla, the New York Post reports. That turned Bonilla's original $5.9 million salary to nearly $30 million.
The Mets will pay Bonilla $1.2 million annually for the next 25 years despite him not having played for them since 1999 or in the big leagues since 2001.
Bonilla totaled five seasons with the Mets and hit .270 with a .356 on-base percentage, hit 95 home runs and drove in 295, but he was considered a malcontent and the Mets wanted to get rid of him after the 1999 season.
Bonilla is also being paid $500,000 annually by the Baltimore Orioles until 2015 for a similar buyout and he holds a "special assistant" job with MLB that pays him $200,000 a year.

- Brazilian Grand Prix
A quiet farewell for HRTMartin Williamson November 25, 2012 « Fifth still a 'super result' for Hulkenberg | Ferrari 'fought all the way to the bitter end' »
- Race:
- Brazilian Grand Prix
- Teams:
While the media clustered around Sebastian Vettel in the aftermath of the Brazilian Grand Prix, the HRT team quietly started to pack up for what most believe will be the last time.
Since HRT's Spanish owners announced it was up for sale a fortnight ago there has been no indication of any potential buyers sniffing round. Although the licence to compete in 2013 has been bought, other assets are thin on the ground. Development on the 2013 HRT has been stopped and without a car to put on the grid and the need to take on a base in Spain, the appeal to would-be owners is almost non existent
The bankers who bought the team in July 2011, seemingly under the impression they could turn it into a profit-making enterprise, gave HRT little time to turn things round especially considering it was already a shoestring operation at the time of the acquisition. It was probably foolish in the current climate to expect bankers to be the saviours of anything. Now they have called time and without the possibility of a new owner HRT will have slipped quietly into F1 history by the time the teams reassemble in Australia in March.
To their credit the team kept going to the end even though more than 30 of them were let go at the same time the for sale signs were put up. Earlier in the week one of those remaining told Spanish daily Marca: "We are unemployed and available".
If it is the end then at least HRT had the satisfaction of seeing both cars finish at Interlagos, albeit more than a lap behind the nearest car.

Landlocked in the eastern Himalayas between India and China, Bhutan was in self-imposed isolation for centuries, only moving on a cautious plan of development with the launching of the first Five Year Plan (FYP) in 1961.
The country's development philosophy stresses the achievement of equitable and sustainable development over economic growth at any cost. From the beginning, particular emphasis was placed on human development. However, close to one-third of the population suffers from food insecurity and it depends on imports for 34 percent of its cereal needs.
Bhutan is also prone to natural disasters, especially during the rainy season and access roads to remote areas may be closed for up to half the year.
WFP Activities
WFP focuses on improving rural, food-insecure households' access to education, health and agricultural services and enabling them to increase incomes and create assets. This is done through development project 10579.0 (Improving Rural Children's Access to Basic Education with a Focus on Primary Education).
This project addresses short-term hunger faced by children living far away from schools and reduces the financial burden on poor rural parents; it also assists in alleviating certain micronutrient deficiencies, while contributing to an overall improvement of school enrolment rates and attendance. Particular attention is given to reducing gender disparity in education.
The objectives of this operation are to:
- increase school enrolment, particularly among girls, for children in poor, food-insecure rural communities;
- maintain regular school attendance, particularly among girls;
- reduce gender disparity;
- alleviate short-term hunger and help children to concentrate in class; and
- enhance the capacities of the Government to manage the school meals programme.
The Government of Bhutan has been incrementally assuming responsibility of the school meals programme. This project reflects the transitional phase to full Government support. Therefore, the focus of WFP's operations in Bhutan through to 2012 will be on primary education and capacity building of government counterparts.

Toot Toot ABC is a cute game by Australian based company Game Labs that introduces preschoolers (ages 1-4) to their ABCs and 123s. Children play one of three darling trains who live in an colorful, interactive World. Kids encounter various animals while learning their alphabet and numbers. With three adventures to choose from there is always something for the little ones to explore.
Kids can pick from the ABC adventure, 123 adventure or take a break and race against other trains. During the ABC adventure, kids match animals with their corresponding letter. In the 123 adventure, kids count animals by dragging them in the train cars. What makes Toot Toot ABC extra unique is the use of exotic – or at least Australian – animals; I have officially learned of the numbat's existence.
One of my favorite aspects of Toot Toot ABC (besides its Australian animal theme) is the brightly colored, interactive World the trains live in. See the red apples on the tree? Click one to have a little snack. Want to show your train some love? Tap his bell and he makes noise. Need a break? Take some time to pop balloons floating around the screen. Children like to explore their surroundings as a way of learning and Toot Toot ABC takes that into considerations when designing their educational World.
Toot Toot ABC also helps children develop fine motor skills. For example, in the 123 adventure, the child needs to be able to click an animal, hold the screen, and drag the animal to the train car for it to be counted. The controls for Toot Toot ABC are responsive and accurate enough for young children to control but not so responsive there is no challenge.
As a new mother I am looking for fun, new age, technological tools to help my daughter learn as she grows and reaches new cognitive and physical developmental milestones. She may not be ready for Toot Toot ABC yet, but it is definitely a game I will keep in mind when the time comes. This cute, colorful, educational game is too darling to pass up for $2.07. I really hope Game Labs continues to develop other educational games for various developmental levels.

Common symptoms of kitty illness include hiding for more than a day, loss of appetite, change in litter box routine and lack of grooming. If you detect any of these behavioral changes, meet with your veterinarian.read more
During the lengthy search for a "hypoallergenic" dog for the Obama family, the spotlight fell on the wheezes and sneezes some pet owners, like the president's asthma-prone daughter, may experience. But did you know that dogs and cats can suffer from human-related allergies as well?
"We probably see nine and a half dogs for every half a cat," says Andrew C. Mills, DVM, MPH, of the Veterinary Dermatology and Allergy Centre in Coon Rapids, Minn. But even though cats tend to have fewer allergies than dogs, your feline friend could still be suffering without your knowledge.
Types of Allergies
When a cat is allergic, its immune system reacts badly to a foreign substance. These irritants can be classified into four basic groups:
1. Inhaled Allergy-causing substances that your cat can breathe into its body fall under this category. According to Dr. Mills, such substances include cigarette smoke, dust and mold in homes, and human dander -- tiny scales from hair and skin that become part of the environment. In addition, nature itself can contribute to inhaled allergies, especially on a seasonal basis. "Cats can breathe in grass and tree pollen in the spring," explains Dr. Mills, "and skin is a target organ." As a result, some cats experience a chronic urge to itch when spring comes into full bloom.
2. Food Bad reactions to something in your pet's diet are equally troublesome. "Cats aren't born with food allergies -- it's an acquired thing," says Dr. Mills. Cats can even develop allergies to food they have enjoyed for a long time, especially proteins. Beef and chicken are the most common culprits, but wheat, soy and dairy products may also irritate certain feline immune systems. These cases can lead to digestive and respiratory disorders, as well as skin irritation.
3. Fleas Cats can be extremely allergic to flea saliva, a particular concern in spring, when populations of the parasites can explode. One small flea bite can cause a cat to scratch and chew the area intensely, which may lead to a bacterial infection. To find out whether your cat is allergic to fleas, watch for scabs on its rump and around the head and neck.
4. Contact Contact allergies, the least common of the four main types, can occur when your cat comes into contact with anything from flea collars to certain types of fabric, like wool. Felines sensitive to such things may then suffer from skin irritation.
How to Tell -- and Treat
If your cat exhibits raw, hairless areas, crusting and scabbing on the skin, or is itching, scratching, licking and biting often, allergies may be the underlying medical issue. To rule out other possible causes, consult a veterinary dermatologist for a kitty allergy exam. "We inject the cat with 60 antigens, or extracts of what the cat could be allergic to. If the cat is allergic to any of these, the skin reacts but does not trigger an allergic reaction," he shares. The exam will help pinpoint the allergy, and your veterinarian will usually recommend one or more of the following steps:
Ultimately, if your cat's itching and scratching is so severe that it keeps you up at night, it's time to seek treatment. However, you can help prevent allergies in the first place with a little detective work and professional advice.
Natalia Macrynikola is a Group Editor at Studio One Networks, which publishes The Daily Cat.
J. Porter says: One of my cats a short haired 6 year old tabby gets itchy in the spring and summer. She is fine in winter. I put her in a flea collar in Spring and it helps all through the summer.
Ryan St. Maur says: Dr. Mills is an expert, and well renowned throughout the midwest on this subject!
TERESA says: MY SHORT HAIR MALE 4 YR OLD CAT IS BALDING ON HIS SIDES AND NOW HIS ELBOW AREA. I AM WORRIED, HIS CONTINUAL LICKING OF THESE AREAS ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE BALDING. WHAT SHOULD I DO? HIS VET SAID IT COULD BE NERVES. SHOULS I GET HIM A FEMALE PLAYMATE,TO STOP HIS LONELINESS AND BALDING??

Same Mountain, Different Day – Ian Dowling Hikes for A Cause
Franconia, NH—While most people would be content to climb a mountain once and then check it off their list, Ian Dowling's motivations are far different. Dowling, 48, has committed himself to climbing the same mountain every day for a year to raise funds for Adaptive Sports Partners of the North Country.
Dowling's decision to begin this daily ritual was the result of a number of factors; this fall, both of his kids left for college, and being single, he found himself with more time on his hands. Dwelling says he was looking for a challenge.
"I figured, 'What the heck?'" he says. "Why not try and achieve something more substantial?"
Cannon Mountain is a convenient 15 minutes from his house and his season pass to the ski area would allow him to make his descent on skis in the winter. When he started in September, and the fall air made for an enjoyable trail run, he was in trail running shoes, making it to the 2,200-foot summit in about half an hour. He also made the hike carrying a downhill mountain bike to ride back down the trail.
Since September, temperatures have plummeted to temperatures well below freezing, and the mountain has accumulated 73 inches of snow to date. Lately, Dowling skins to the top or relies on snowshoes.
He also decided to use this hobby as a means for fundraising. While working as a volunteer with the Adaptive Sports organization, he observed a need for equipment for their programming.
"I figured if I'm doing something like this, then I might as well raise money for them so they can get some better equipment," he says.
Dowling's goal is to raise $10,000 for the ASPNC, but he waited until he had logged over 100 ascents before he went public with his plans.
"I waited so people would think I was legitimate," he says. "I think if I came out and told people that I'm going to climb Cannon Mountain every day for a year and I'm going to start today, I don't think people would believe me," he says.
He's faithfully held himself to that commitment and has raised more than $400 so far. But as the conditions have become more rugged and the ascent takes more time, juggling the daily hike with the responsibilities of a full-time job has proven more difficult. Dowling works as a nuclear medicine technologist and drives a mobile nuclear medicine unit between five different hospitals in northern New Hampshire, leaving him enough time to complete the hike either before or after work, in the dark.
On top of that, he's also raising a puppy at home.
He says he's finally realized what he's gotten himself into.
"It's proving to be a lot harder than I thought," he says.
But like all tough ascents, Dowling says the descents have been rewarding, whether it is on mountain bike, skis, or his latest method, a shovel that he has converted into a sled. While the hike up takes about an hour in the winter, he can ride down on his shovel in a record time of 8 minutes.
"It's adventurous," he says. "I've had to start wearing a helmet."

Are You Guilty of These Diet Crimes?
Jose Luis Merino
Diet Crime Stoppers to the Rescue!
If you've ever cheated on a diet, you're probably guilty of the number-one crime in the weight-loss world: self-sabotage. More than 40 percent of dieters have trouble sticking to a plan for a year, and most people gain back any pounds they lost (and more) within four to five years, according to research. But you've got a good alibi. "It's really not your fault," says Judith Beck, PhD, director of the Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research in Philadelphia. "Just as you wouldn't expect to be a good musician if you never took music lessons, you can't expect to succeed at dieting if you've never learned the skills you need to lose weight," she explains. We tracked down the most common weight-loss offenses to show you how to break free from the yo-yo-diet trap for good.
Jose Luis Merino
The Night Eater
THE CRIME: You consume more than half your daily calories after 6 p.m. — mostly through mindless munching in front of the TV. Because you scarf down so much at night, you're not hungry for breakfast or lunch the next day, causing your blood sugar to crash and your metabolism to slow. By the time you get home from work you're starving, and the bingeing starts all over again.
Your Rehab Plan
Eat every four hours. Even if you aren't hungry, try to have 300 calories in the morning to give you the energy you need to get through the day. Consume a healthy lunch of around 400 calories, followed by a small snack. "Regular meals keep your blood sugar stable, so you don't get the urge to inhale everything in sight at night," says Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, a FITNESS advisory board member.
Set the dinner table. Research shows that we consume 163 more calories per day when we chow down in front of the TV. Sitting at the table forces you to pay attention to what's on your plate and how much you're eating.
Ask yourself what you're really hungry for. "If you've already eaten dinner, you aren't snacking because you need the calories," says Martin Binks, PhD, director of behavioral health and research at the Duke Diet & Fitness Center in Durham, North Carolina. You're probably eating for comfort. "Think about what can distract you from the urge to eat," Binks advises. "For instance, if you're bored, go for a walk. If you're lonely, call a friend."
Jose Luis Merino
The Social Snacker
THE CRIME: Whether it's doughnuts at the a.m. meeting, cake for your coworker's birthday, or mixed nuts at happy hour, you just can't say no to food in social situations. All that grazing adds up to a lot of extra calories. "There's always going to be a reason to go off your diet; the key is to recognize that doing so too often is what's packing on pounds," Binks says.
Your Rehab Plan
Focus on your goals. "Write down the top reasons you want to lose weight, and keep the list in your wallet. Read it over when you feel your motivation sagging," Dr. Beck says. "If your goals are in front of you, it makes it easier to stick to healthy habits."
Order smarter. Your best friend can put away a burger and fries without gaining an ounce. It's not fair, but eating like her isn't going to give you the body you want. Instead, follow the lead of other successful dieters, Dr. Beck suggests. "They know that portion control is key," she explains. "When everyone else at the table is having sundaes for dessert, they'll order just one scoop. This way, they won't feel deprived — or guilty."
Allow for treats. Splurging once a week on coconut shrimp isn't going to derail your diet. "If you're on such a strict program that you can't eat anything extra at a party, that's just not reasonable," Dr. Beck says. "When your rules are too rigid, you set yourself up for failure."
Jose Luis Merino
The Procrastinator
THE CRIME: You're totally going to start exercising and eating healthfully — just as soon you can save up for some personal-training sessions, buy cuter gym clothes, have time to go to the grocery store, and find a cookbook with recipes you actually want to eat. You know you need to lose weight and you even know what you need to do to get there, but somehow you never seem to make it happen.
Your Rehab Plan
Stop waiting for that magic moment. "Think back over the last few months and ask yourself when work wasn't crazy, you weren't tied up with family obligations, and you had all the time in the world to tackle your diet," Binks says. Drawing a blank? There will never be a perfect point to start your diet, so today is as good as any to get going.
Cut yourself some slack. Losing weight can be daunting. Rather than stress about the big picture, take it one day at a time. "Tell yourself that if your diet isn't working, you can stop tomorrow," says Heather Jones, RD, author of What's Your Diet Type? "It's easier to make smart choices if you know you can let yourself off the hook later. Chances are, once you start you'll be motivated to continue."
Make it easy. Print out your grocery list so all you have to do is circle the healthy items as you run out. Put sticky notes on your bathroom mirror with messages to hit the gym or the salad bar at lunch. "It may feel silly, but studies suggest that little cues and prompts are hugely successful at getting procrastinators to change their habits," Blatner says.
Jose Luis Merino
The "Healthy" Eater
THE CRIME: Your dinner plate is loaded with fresh, organic food: vegetables (straight from the farmers' market), free-range chicken, whole wheat pasta, a slice of nine-grain bread with flaxseed. You eat all the right things, so why aren't you slimming down? "I know plenty of overweight vegetarians," Binks says. "You can overdo it on the healthy stuff if you don't watch portion sizes."
Your Rehab Plan
Slow down. "It takes about 20 minutes for your gut to send the 'full' signal to your brain. If you shovel in food, you don't stop until you're past that point," Blatner says. Scoop a little less onto your fork and chew your food thoroughly before you swallow. These tricks can save you more than 200 calories a day.
Avoid fat traps. Dish out dinner in the kitchen instead of placing platters of food on the table; the extra effort required to get up for seconds may make you think twice. At restaurants, ask the waiter to doggie-bag half your entree before it hits the table.
Measure up. "Research shows that even dietitians can be off by as much as 30 percent when they're asked to guesstimate serving sizes," Binks says. Spend a day or two measuring out your food. "You'll probably be surprised by what proper servings look like," he notes. "There's no need to become obsessive, but occasionally checking your portions helps you stay on track."
Jose Luis Merino
The All-or-Nothing Dieter
THE CRIME: When you have the time, you stock the fridge with produce, lean protein, and low-fat dairy and work out five times a week. But as soon as life gets busy you skip the gym and order takeout. "You figure you've already blown your diet, so why bother trying at all?" says Jones.
Your Rehab Plan
Brainstorm a backup. "Just as it's important to have goals for eating and exercising when life is routine, you need a second set for those weeks when things get crazy," Binks explains. For instance, prepare for hectic times by circling healthy options on your take-out menus.
Remember, one slipup doesn't justify a crime spree. "If you ran a red light and got a ticket, would you break every other traffic law for the rest of the day?" Beck asks. Of course not. "Similarly, if you splurge on a piece of cake, don't use it as an excuse to eat whatever you want."
Make small changes. "Trying to revamp all your eating habits at once is overwhelming," notes Michelle Segar, PhD, a women's health behavior psychologist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Instead, take baby steps. Spend a few weeks focusing on the two habits you'd most like to improve, such as consuming more fruit and eating out less often. Once these become second nature, you'll find it easier to start making other tweaks.

Abigail's disappearance felt strongly by other teens in Conway
By DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
Abigail's story told nationally, and through local volunteers
— Counselors at area health centers say they've treated a large number of teenagers in the past five weeks for anxiety, depression, and fear because of the disappearance of Abigail Hernandez.
"The issues surrounding Abby are huge for many students," said Trisha Jacobson, a North Conway mental health specialist. "Students are experiencing everything from anxiety to complete withdrawal."
Shawn Rogers of the White Mountain Community Health Center said she's seen "tons" of concerned teens since Hernandez was last seen walking from Kennett High School on Oct. 9.
"Those who know Abby have their concerns, but there are kids who are falling apart over this who didn't know Abby at all," Rogers said.
"It's hitting students hard. The level of stress among students I see has increased dramatically, because of where it happened and what may have happened to her. Some of them are saying, 'I walk home from school, can this happen to me?'"
In a letter to parents dated Oct. 18 that was posted on the Kennett website, Conway School District administrators and staff said it is "deeply concerned, not only for Abby Hernandez, but for the welfare of all of our students."
The letter advised parents to contact the district with specific questions, but generally suggested parents observe their children carefully.
"We ask that you keep a close eye on your child, listen to them, and talk about any concerns they have. It is important to make sure they are eating correctly, sleeping enough, getting exercise, and making healthy choices as they process this uncertainty," the letter read.
"It may also be helpful to monitor social media, text messaging, and limit exposure to coverage of anxiety-increasing movies, news, and other media sources. We will continue to offer our schools as a resource as needed, while we work as partners to support our students, schools, and community."
Jacobson said it was wise of the school district to be proactive, as students may not ask for help.
"Teens feel disconnected with the adult world as it is," she said. "Often the emotional stuff doesn't get processed and it comes out somewhere else."
Rogers said she is concerned that teens don't have the information and resources needed to deal with the crisis.
"Now, every time I have a teenager in the office, I'll open up the issue, and they really want to talk about it; they are scared and nervous," she said.

MIAMI (Reuters) - Lawyers defending the Guantanamo prisoners accused of plotting the September 11 attacks can visit the top-secret prison where the alleged al Qaeda conspirators have been held for more than six years, a judge has ruled.
But they can only stay 12 hours, not the 48 hours they requested, defense lawyers said on Thursday.
The judge overseeing the war crimes tribunals at the Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Base, Army Colonel James Pohl, signed an order allowing the visits on Tuesday.
The judge's order has not been cleared for public release, but defense lawyers, who have never previously been allowed inside the prison known as Camp 7, said it allowed up to three members of each defense team to visit the cells, one team at a time, between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m.
In a hearing last month, defense lawyers asked to make repeated visits and stay in the cells adjacent to those of their clients for 48 hours at a time to assess the conditions.
"I think this is a step in the right direction," said Navy Commander Walter Ruiz, who represents Saudi defendant Mustafa al Hawsawi, an accused al Qaeda money courier.
However, he said, in order to ensure the prisoners are being held in compliance with the laws of war, their lawyers still need periodic visits and access to confidential reports filed by inspectors from the International Committee of the Red Cross.
The five defendants include Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the accused architect of the hijacked planes plot, and four other prisoners accused of funding and training the September 11 hijackers and helping them make travel arrangements. The 19 hijackers flew planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field in the 2001 attacks.
They are housed separately from the general prison population, in a maximum-security detention facility reserved for captives previously held in secret CIA prisons overseas.
Lawyers typically meet with their clients in small, trailer-like huts where the prisoners are brought by camp guards.
Camp 7's very existence was not publicly acknowledged until more than a year after the former CIA captives were transferred to Guantanamo in 2006. They are taken to another facility to meet with their defense lawyers.
Defense lawyers said all five defendants were tortured in the CIA prisons, and a sixth defendant was dropped from the case because a Pentagon official agreed he had been tortured.
Harsh prison conditions could be a mitigating factor that could spare the defendants from the death penalty if they are convicted of war crimes that include terrorism, hijacking and murdering 2,976 people in the United States on September 11, 2001.
Defense lawyers said Pohl's order would allow them to photograph and sketch any part of the Guantanamo prison accessible to their clients, and to take notes during the visit, all of which must be treated as top secret, and undergo a security review.
They will not be allowed to talk to the guards or to anyone other than their own clients, they said.
Prosecutors did not object to letting the defense lawyers into the camp but said two-day visits would be disruptive.
"A key thing we were trying to avoid is having the detention facility put on a show for us for a short period of time," said defense attorney James Connell, whose client, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, is accused of wiring money to the hijackers for their flight school tuition.
"Twelve hours is at least a time where we can start to gather information. If we feel more information is necessary we can go back to the judge," Connell said.
He said he doubted the visits could be arranged before the next pretrial hearing on April 22.

How to properly operates UPC1100 or 1150 switching regulator device?
Latest Updated:11/01/2005
My UPC1100 or 1150 switching regulator device sometimes operates and sometimes doesn't.
The timer latch circuit may be malfunctioning. Check the following.
- Is there any incorrect wiring?
- The GND wiring can sometimes be a cause of malfunction. Make sure that the GND pins for signal lines and power lines are separate, and that each is grounded to a separate point.
- Is there a capacitor connected between the REF OUT pin (pin 16) and GND pin (pin 8)? If so, be sure to use a film, tantalum, or ceramic capacitor.
- Be sure to ground the GND side of the delay capacitor CDLY connected to the DLY pin (pin 15) as close as possible to the GND pin (pin 8).
- When using the ON/OFF control pin (pin 4), ensure that the signal input to this pin rises at no more than 0.07V/us.

Again, online student: not really sure; seem perfectly safe, and a lot safer than most of the city campuses this urban student lives near.
Greek Life
They offer Greek: I have thought about taking it, but have not yet.
Clubs and Activities
Since I've only been an online student, I was never involved in any. They have theater; an orchestra, choir that are involved regularly in chapel plus special events. Beyond these, I am unsure what else they offer.
Great for these types of students
Biblicist (fundamental), concervative Christians Bible-believing Christians Born-again Christians
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The only two locations I got to visit off campus were the New Rover Bridge area and a local state park with a lookout point over a beautiful vista--beautiful!
Bang for the buck
Great: one of the least expensive schools; and fully accredited nationally and regionally
What to do for fun
The school has multiple major with the category of Camping Ministry. Hence, the student corps has many white-water rafting (some of the best and most intense in the country, with rapis ranging from class 1 though class 5+), spelunking (boath horizontal and vertical), camoing, hiking (along some abslutly exquisit trails), and other outdoorsian opportunities; other special events; plus the standard athletic programs (basketball, volleyball, and soccer; which involve cross-country travel).
Food and Dining
Fine: I have multiple food allergies (to most of the basics and staples), and the kitchen staff was more than willing to cater to my particular needs and relatively unique dietary restrictions.
Dorm Life
I was an online student, so I cannot speak much to that. I spent two nights in the male dorm during their summer open-campus; but that's isn't really enough of a taste of dorm life (especially since classes were out for the summer, anyway) to speak to it.
Academic Rigor
Not over-burdensome, not so much as to cause panic, but challenging enough to keep one interested and stimulated
Tips for prospective students
Visit the campus; get to know the professors, deans, staff, and students, and enroll!
In three sentences
ABC is doctrinally sound (Biblically and Christ-centered). The staff are genuinely, sincerely, and cordially concerned and caring for each, indivigual student's progress and well being. And the area in which is the campus (it settings) is absolutely, stunningly, awe-inspiringly gorgeou, beautiful, and breathtaking: it is truely an excellent matrix for worship.

The college is big on security and all the dorm buildings have locked doors with code pads to enter. There is an armed security guard on campus from dark until early morning. There are also alarms in all the
Greek Life
There are not activities like this on ABC campus.
Clubs and Activities
There are multiple music groups throughout the year. There is a large chorale group, a hand bell choir, small vocal groups, there is also a weekend puppet team that travels to different schools and churches.
What to do for fun
The administration has put many restrictions on students for entertainment such as movies, music, and even certain kinds of activities. However, there are multiple types of outdoor related activities in the area and as long as the weather agrees with you.
Food and Dining
Food and dining is wonderful. The food at times isn't always the best, but the kitchen staff take care of the students and always care about them. The style is a buffet style meal and students can eat literally as much as they want during meal times.
Dorm Life
Dorm life is the best part of the school, as long as the Resident Assistants aren't being picky. It can be fun going from room to room just hanging out with friends and talking for a little while. There could be more activities as a dorm, but that would require some sort of unity between the men to want to have activities.
Academic Rigor
In the past couple of years, the school's classes have been getting progressively worse in standards. Multiple students have mentioned that they are not getting anything out of the classes and almost wish they had picked a different school.
Tips for prospective students
If students are planning on going to ABC they should plan on having a job and a life outside of campus. ABC campus gets old very quickly.
In three sentences
The school is heavily focused on putting out ministry minded individuals. This school has a very set way of doing things and a very specifically set way their students are to behave and function. At times this school can be extremely difficult to deal with and get along with.

When Im not working on homework i often enjoy long walks at the camp that is connected to the college. It is called Alpine. The camp has alot of different activities we can do as college students so often times groups of students will head down there to find something fun to do.
Food and Dining
The food here is pretty good. Every meal there is a buffet type thing. They have 2 choices of main course foods and then they have desserts and salad and all kinds of really good food.
Dorm Life
I dont know much about the dorm life in a public college but the life at Appalachian Bible College is more than amazing. Everyone in the dorms talk with each other and everyone is friends by the end of the first semester. There are only around 300 kids on the entire campus so it is pretty easy to get to know everyone. The dorms are pretty clean and they get cleaned everyday.
Academic Rigor
Classes can be very difficult depending on the professor. Even though they are difficult, the professors are eager to try and help in any way that they can, people just have to ask. Speech is probably one of the hardest freshman classes but it gets you ready for all the other classes. The curriculum is strong and has a really high academic standard.
Tips for prospective students
As a current student, i would suggest that make sure you look fully into a school before you apply. Appalachian is a very strong, biblical school with good academics. Be ready to serve and learn because you'll definitely get exactly what you want in any college.
In three sentences
Appalachian Bible College is everything i dreamed a college could be. The professors are kind-hearted, want to help in every way they can, and are big on making sure life isn't always so serious. Everyone is friendly and it is just an awesome place to be!

Factory Farming
Factory Farming
Factory farms dominate U.S. food production, employing abusive practices that maximize agribusiness profits at the expense of the environment, our communities, animal welfare, and even our health.
Far from the idyllic, spacious pastures that are shown in advertisements for meat, milk, and eggs, factory farms typically consist of large numbers of animals being raised in extreme confinement. Animals on factory farms are regarded as commodities to be exploited for profit. They undergo painful mutilations and are bred to grow unnaturally fast and large for the purpose of maximizing meat, egg, and milk production for the food industry. Their bodies cannot support this growth, which results in debilitating and painful conditions and deformities.
The factory farming industry puts incredible strain on our natural resources. The extreme amount of waste created by raising so many animals in one place pollutes our land, air, and water. Residents of rural communities surrounding factory farms report high incidents of illness, and their property values are often lowered by their proximity to industrial farms. To counteract the health challenges presented by overcrowded, stressful, unsanitary living conditions, antibiotics are used extensively on factory farms, which can create drug-resistant bacteria and put human health at risk.

The church has submitted site design plans to the city of Wilmington to build a new, 7,000-square-foot parish hall building.
St. Andrew's On-the-Sound Episcopal Church, 101 Airlie Road in Wilmington, is pushing ahead with an ambitious expansion program.
The church has submitted site design plans to the city of Wilmington to build a new, 7,000-square-foot parish hall building. These plans went before the city's technical review committee earlier this month.
St. Andrew's has meanwhile collected pledges of nearly $1.4 million toward a three-year capital campaign, with more than $600,000 in receipts to date.
According to St. Andrew's rector, the Rev. Richard G. Elliott, the move was prompted by growth in the parish.
"Basically, we're in a church facility that was designed for fewer than 100 worshippers," Elliott said.
The parish currently has more than 800 members on its rolls, while Sunday attendance averaged more than 325 worshippers last year.
Plans call for the demolition of Aman House, the parish's original rectory. In its place will go a new parish hall, which is being designed by the firm John Sawyer Architects. The old parish hall would be converted to office space.
Longer-range plans foresee a remodeling and expansion of the Sunday school building and a refurbishing of the worship space, including rewiring, the installation of air conditioning and the addition of bathroom facilities.
Elliott said St. Andrew's had gone through a five-year planning process before launching the building drive.
Built in 1923 at the intersection of two roads to Wrightsville Beach, St. Andrew's was dedicated as a mission church in 1924 and consecrated as a parish in 1951. Designed by Wilmington architect Leslie Boney in the Spanish Colonial Mission Style, it was once featured in National Geographic magazine as one of the nation's most beautiful rural churches.
