This document was created to help inform the public, students, civil and criminal justice agencies, volunteer organizations and others about the availability and existance of agencies in Sonoma County that deal with civil and criminal matters, including not-for-profit organizations. The list is incomplete in part because some organizations did not respond to repeated queries for information and because we may not have been aware of all organizations. Thus, any input that readers may have for improving the following document would be greatly appreciated.
We expect that this list will be updated more frequently during the coming year as more county organizations come on-line. This page gets a surprising number of hits.
Most agencies/organizations on the left have responded to our mailed questionnaires; in some cases we have added an agency and hopefully a web link to them. In most instances the information was provided by the agency on the returned questionnaire although a few more recent entries have been volunteered. You can go directly to each agency by clicking on the name below:

MISSION: Coordinated Effort in Management of Inmate Population
We subscribe to the philosophy that inmate populations may be effectively managed through the use of alternative punishments, as well as by implementing treatment programs to actively address the common causes of crime. We have optimized the structure of our organization to effectively deal with Detention requirements; however, we view our role as going beyond that of managing correctional facilities. Incarceration is not considered the only solution, as it does not resolve the problems that lead to crime. We are committed to working with other criminal justice agencies, public service agencies, and the community to develop innovative prevention and treatment alter-natives, aimed at reducing crime. We encourage the use of alternative punishments for those who have committed crimes, but can be effectively dealt with in a manner that does not require incarceration. Our coordinated efforts to develop innovative deterrent, treatment, and alternative punishment programs have resulted in widespread attention and support.

This phase is also where you assign starting dates and ending dates to particular tasks. This is crucial to the projects success. There will be tasks that can happen at the same time that may or may not be related. But, some of those tasks will end later than others because they will simply take longer to complete. Start and stop dates also give you a way of ensuring that everything gets completed on time.

They shouldn't mix with regular vehicles on public roads.
April 2019
Minitrucks are sold as off-road vehicles for farms and construction sites and are far smaller than conventional small trucks sold for on-the-road use. These vehicles go by many names, including Japanese minitruck, Kei truck, microtruck, and utility transportation vehicle. Minitrucks have the capacity to reach top speeds of 55 mph or more, but many are sold with devices that limit their speed to 25 mph.
Federal safety standards don't apply to minitrucks because they are sold as off-road vehicles, even though they are permitted on public roads in some states. Twenty-one states now allow minitrucks on specific portions of public roads. In Illinois and Missouri, minitrucks are allowed only by local ordinance. Minitrucks must comply with federal safety standards for low-speed vehicles in five states (Illinois, Kansas, Maine, New Hampshire and Tennessee).
The table and map below describe state laws that specifically address the use of minitrucks on public roads. In states without those laws, there may be provisions in other state laws, such as those permitting incidental use of off-road vehicles on public roads, that allow the limited use of minitrucks on public roads.

Carroll closing on comeback
West Ham could have striker Andy Carroll back in their squad within the next two games, manager Sam Allardyce has revealed.
The club-record signing has yet to feature this season after taking longer than first anticipated to heal from a problematic foot injury, but the 25-year-old could be set to come back and help the Hammers' battle against Barclays Premier League relegation.
Allardyce has struggled with injuries throughout his squad this campaign and had just 14 first-team players fit for the FA Cup third round tie at Nottingham Forest, which the Sky Bet Championship side won 5-0.
Wednesday's Capital One Cup semi-final first leg against Manchester City will come too soon for the former Liverpool forward, who scored seven goals during a loan spell at Upton Park last season, but the trip to Cardiff on Saturday could see Carroll return to the fold.
"Andy is training today," Allardyce said at his press conference ahead of the City game.
"Hopefully we'll see him on the bench in the next week or so."
Without Carroll, West Ham have scored just 19 times in their opening 20 Premier League fixtures and sit 19th in the table having won one of their last 13 league outings.
Even with his £15million man on the mend, Allardyce is likely to bring in at least one other forward during the transfer window with Monaco striker Lacina Traore a reported target.
Current strikers Modibo Maiga and Carlton Cole have just four league goals between them so far, so a return for Carroll would be more than welcome for Allardyce as he looks to keep the Hammers in the top flight.

Colony Theatre
129 Market Street,
1 person favorited this theater
The Victoria Theatre was opened on January 12, 1914. In 1924 it was renamed Carolina Theatre. In the 1941 & 1943 editions of Film Daily Yearbook, the Carolina Theatre is listed as being operated by Paramount Pictures Inc. thru their subsidiary H.F. Kincey. The Carolina Theatre is listed at 131 Market Street in the 1950 edition of F.D.Y.
Later renamed Colony Theatre, it was also one of several movie theatres located on Market Street in downtown Wilmington that were operated under the Stewart and Everett Theatre chain (which also operated the Bailey Theatre and the Manor Theatre). The Colony Theatre was closed October 31, 1974.
Recent comments (view all 11 comments)
Chuck, You are correct, it is "Bye Bye Birdie" (the 1963 movie) as the main attraction. I didn't spot that (late at night here in the UK!) and I noticed the neoned letters on the advertising above the marquee, similar to how many London live theatres advertise. What I noticed more was the banner sign above the entrance advertising "Little Red Riding Hood" (Matinees Only). I was not aware of a film title of this children's story, and presumed it to be a live production. However, searching IMD there was an animated movie of LRRH made in Spain in 1960, which was released in a dubbed version in the USA in 1963. So I was incorrect regarding the 'live theatre' use.
Incidently, there was an XXX Adult version of "Little Red Riding Hood" made in 1988, but that's way off!
My two cents: Stewart & Everett never owned The Bailey. Stellings & Gossett owned four drive-ins (Starway, North 17, Wrightsville Rd. & Skyland) and The Manor in Wilmington. I don't know who owned The Colony but when Stewart & Everett bought Stellings & Gossett they also purchased (or possibly leased) The Colony about 1960-61. Per Beverly Tetterton's book "Wilmington: Lost But Not Forgotten" the three names of this theatre beginning in 1913: Victoria, Carolina, Colony. However, Beverly gets the year wrong as to when Stewart & Everett came into The Colony's history. Mr. Roe – kiddy shows were a huge draw and Daddy (Edward Marks) played those up big! (He painted all the banners & did many of the cut-out letters on the marquee) They gave away nice prizes at some of the kids shows (like a bicycle, record player, camera) and often tied in with local soft-drink bottlers/distributers for discount (or free) admission (like bring 6 Royal Crown bottle caps & get in free). I have so many pictures (mostly of the marquee) from this time period. I hope to scan at least a few more & get them to my flickr site soon.
I was wrong! My mother insisted that The Bailey was never owned by Stewart & Everett and she was right in that it was never owned by them when she lived in Wilmington. At some point, I do not know when, The Bailey was operated (but probably not owned) by Stewart & Everett as I have seen it listed in some promotional literature for the managers of this chain from the 1970s.
This house opened January 12, 1914, as the Victoria Theatre. It was designed by architect Burett H. Stephens, who had designed Wilmington's first purpose-built movie house, the Bijou, opened in 1912. After closing in 1924, the Victoria was remodeled and reopened as the Carolina Theatre the following year.
The latest mention I can find of the Carolina Theatre in Boxoffice dates from December 13, 1952, and the earliest mention of the Colony I've found is from November 9, 1954, so the name was changed between those dates.
There is a page about the Victoria in the "Going to the Show" section of the University of North Carolina's DocSouth project. It links to their page about the Carolina, but I don't see anything there about the house as the Colony.
Boxoffice of November 25, 1974, recaps the history of the Victoria/Carolina/Colony in one of two articles about the closing of the house (left column, right-hand page), which took place on October 31 that year. Note that both the Boxoffice article and the UNC's Carolina Theatre page misspell the architect's name as Stevens rather than the correct Stephens. Additionally, Boxoffice gives the year of the name change from Victoria to Carolina as 1930, not 1925 as stated at the UNC page.
Here is another vintage photo of the Colony:
A lot of great movies played here at the Colony Theatre in Downtown Wilmington. David Lean's LAWRENCE OF ARABIA played here first-run on August 22,1963. It was an exclusive engagement showing.
From the ads: DIRECT FROM IT'S ROADSHOW ENGAGEMENT,NOW YOU CAN SEE LAWRENCE OF ARABIA AT POPULAR PRICES FOR IT'S EXCLUSIVE ENGAGEMENT!
Closed on October 31,1974
Trouble with the law in 1914:
the newspaper article linked by rivest266 states that the Victoria Theatre was at 836 Market St. It was in the 100 block of Market St. Can anyone explain that?
Upon more research, it seems that the cited article was from The Wilmington News, of Wilmington,Delaware. Although the article was about Benny Schwarz and it was a Victoria Theatre and it was on Market St. Something is very strange here. It begs the question…. was the Benny Schwarz of Wilmington NC (who later became the mayor), ever the manager of the Victoria Theatre in Wilmington, NC? …or is all of this a pure coincidence and brought together by research on theatres.?

Verizon's Employee Training Programs Ranked Among The Top Four In The U.S.
NEW YORK, NY — Verizon is ranked No. 4 on Training magazine's latest Top 125 list of companies that have the best training programs for their employees. This marks the 9th consecutive year that Verizon has been recognized for its investment in the training, education and professional development of its employees.
Training magazine annually honors organizations that invest in the learning and development of their employees. The top companies list is based on a study of training budgets and training hours as well as an assessment of a range of factors including financial investment in employee development and how closely such development efforts are linked to business goals and objectives.
In 2009, Verizon invested more than $450 million in the development, education and training of its employees, including $120 million in tuition assistance. Verizon employees also logged more than 10.5 million training hours last year to advance their knowledge of a wide range of topics including privacy and security, and to develop the skills needed to deliver the nation's most advanced broadband networks to customers.
"We depend on a highly skilled workforce to deliver the best networks and customer solutions," said Marc Reed, executive vice president for human resources at Verizon. "Verizon's education and training investments provide personal and professional development for employees and enable them to deliver superior customer experiences." Verizon's application to Training magazine's Top 125 list for 2009 contained data from the company's largest business groups, including Verizon Wireless. The February issue of the publication lists the companies on the Top 125 list and features Verizon executives explaining the company's approach to educating, developing and training employees.
Winners of the Training Top 125 award, now in its 10th year, were honored Monday night (Feb. 1) at the Training Top 125 gala, held during the Training 2010 Conference and Expo in San Diego.

Gosh, it has been four years. Life has taken me a bit away from it all. working full time. I think I said the same thing last year.
I enjoy genealogy, I just need to have more time to be able to do it all. My main goal in the blog in the beginning was trying to connect to any Raeburns out there in the genealogy world. If I got lucky I would catch up with the Ireland Raeburn cousins. So far...they are all hiding. I think we are an obscure bunch. I have researched about everything I can get my hands on whether virtual or real in terms of documents and research to no avail. The trail still stops short of really finding ancestor relatives or a trail that leads to just exactly where. I can feel it in my bones where they came from. Just no'proof". Bummer. So I will keep writing from time to time, but maybe not about those elusive folks of mine. Maybe I should throw some of that poetry I write in as filler!lol. Just thought I should say Hi, and thank you to the couple of folks that stopped by to say Happy Blogiversary, Grant Davis of The Stephen Sherwood Letters and Jim of HiddenGenealogyNuggets

Mandana Dayani of "The Rachel Zoe Project" and her husband, TV executive and producer Peter Traugott, have sold their Sunset Strip-area home for $1.5 million.
The traditional-style house, built in 1952, was designed for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The living room opens to a terrace on the main level, and the lower level to a swimming pool with spa. The master bedroom features dual walk-in closets, a den and a bathroom for a total of three bedrooms and 21/2 bathrooms in the 2,240-square-foot house.
Dayani, vice president and general counsel for Rachel Zoe Inc., joined the cast of the reality show in the 2011 season. Traugott is the television division president of Brillstein Entertainment Partners. He will be an executive producer for the NBC pilot "No Harm Done." His production credits include last year's pilot for "Ringer," starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, and "Samantha Who?" (2007-09).
Traugott bought the property in 2003 for $1.29 million, public records show. The couple were married in 2010 and put the house on the market two months ago at $1.549 million.
Sharona Alperin of Sotheby's International Realty's Sunset office was the listing agent.

Google Inc.'s experiment making Motorola phones has ended after just 22 months, with the company unloading the handset business to China's Lenovo Group Inc. for $2.91 billion but keeping a valuable trove of patents.
The deal unwinds the Internet company's costly move into smartphone hardware after it acquired Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion in May 2012. Google has struggled to compete in the cutthroat phone-hardware business — its share of the world-wide smartphone market fell to about 1% last year from 2.3% a year earlier, according to IDC.
Google GOOG, -0.68% said it will retain the vast majority of Motorola's patent portfolio, a key motivation of the original transaction that lets it defend those phone makers who use its Android software against patent suits. Google's Android software powers the majority of the world's smartphones.
The deal also signals the rising ambitions of Lenovo 0992, -1.77% LNVGF, +1.66% , which is seeking to be a bigger player in the global technology market.
Lenovo, which last week agreed to buy a server business from International Business Machines Corp. , gains a brand that would catapult its place in the global smartphone market to third from fifth, yet far behind Samsung Electronics Co. and Apple Inc., according to IDC. Lenovo became the No. 1 personal-computer maker last year after buying IBM's PC business in 2005.
The Google deal—and last week's agreement with IBM—are likely to draw scrutiny from U.S. regulators concerned about security issues involving acquisitions by Chinese companies. An inquiry could delay the closure for several months or make it difficult to complete.

[Verse 1]
Tropical vibe, coconut milk and shaved ice
My soul glow with the low cut, no jheri curl, Jerry Rice
Boogie board on the rip tide
Parasail and deep dive, won't think twice
Your little baby bone boy killin' me
Swearing he's grown when he got that steel
But he ain't swam with that blue whale
I ain't swam with that ho neither, Earl said that world real
Sit back and watch the water, hope the monster don't wag his tail
And send that big wave over while I'm showin' off my pirate grill
To the baddies walkin' by me, showin' skin because it's nothing
My little brother servin' molly 'cause that bill due Monday
And my passport's buried and my home town flooded
With just a little bit of water, but my shoes still muddy
And if I ever have a daughter, I wonder what I could call her?
Nine months after I fuck on the beach, I guess I call her Karma
Copped a jet ski with the booster seat, I'm kiddin' but I'm ballin'
Just playin' but I'm serious, I'm witted and I'm wildin'
This life goes on, man, that's one thing about it
This life goes on, dawg, that's one thing about it
I'm feelin' what you're sayin', you're tryin' to get around it
But life goes on, pimpin', the wise don't doubt it
[Verse 2]
Stuck in the sky, first time upside down on the whole ride
And I wasn't much into the type that my bros like
So I never really had no wife and that's alright
"Black woman ain't got no man," that's what she said to me
Yeah she did, that you can date outside your race, I mean
I ain't supposed to show my love
Judge gotta like my case, I mean
Somebody please switch my plates, ship my car to Rome
5k on the wheels, still ain't ridin' chrome
Backpack rapper skills, veteran nigga deal
So let irrelevant nigga do what irrelevant nigga feel
Let a regular nigga judge
Because his gavel fake and he regular, still
How that gravel taste? How you paid your medical bill?
Sands white on my tan feet, Colosseum in the back seat
Straw hut where the beach be
Like screen saver when your Mac sleep
Relaxing, I ain't racin' no fuckin' rats, I'm relaxing
And if it's wrong to ya
Well, life goes on, brother, that's one thing about it
Life goes on, my nigga, one thing about it
I'm sayin' what you're seein', we tryin' to talk around it
But life goes on, pimpin', the wise don't doubt it
An album outtake from Frank, produced with Pharrell Williams and detailing his maturity, hometown and rise to fame.
The blue whale is the largest animal that ever lived, weighing hundreds of tons and over a hundred feet long. This beautiful, gentle animal was hunted to the brink of extinction in the twentieth century. So it's a powerful symbol for something that could humble you and make you amazed, but also for how we tend to destroy the mystery in the world.

Some kind of poetic conjunction will occur when jazz singer Diane Hubka performs a recital at Pasadena Presbyterian Church Saturday. Though she works as the church's accountant, what makes the pairing compelling is her lovely sound set in a sanctuary known for its majestic high-ceilinged acoustics.
Hubka has a medium-dynamic alto voice with an unmistakable sparkle. Her tone is bell-like in its clarity and her diction is impeccable. Listeners can understand her no matter how brisk the tempo of the music.
As a result, Hubka acts as something of an X-ray machine for songs. Dimitri Tiompkin and Ned Washington's "Wild is the Wind," on her current album, "Diane Hubka Goes to the Movies" (18th & Vine Records), is a case in point. It contains the line: "Give me more than one caress, satisfy my hungriness...." From any other singer, the grammatical fudging to achieve a rhyme might not be so glaring. Still, she has the ability to put her stamp on any song she essays.
The album is a well-chosen collection of movie songs that skirt the obvious.
"I tend to like more obscure songs that are at least as good as the well-known standards," she discloses. "Blossom Dearie's 'They Say It's Spring,' Billy Strayhorn's 'A Flower is a Lovesome Thing' and 'Moon Ray' by Artie Shaw.' There are so many great songs that just aren't sung."
A SoCal resident since 2004, Hubka was raised in Western Maryland. One of the dividends of her two decades in New York City was personal instruction from vocal jazz legend Sheila Jordan. The unclassifiable Jordan raised a daughter as a single mother and maintained her singing while working in an office.
"She told me, 'Don't ever let anybody make you feel bad because you have a day job,'" Hubka recalls. "'You do whatever you have to do to keep your music going.' I never forgot that."
Saturday's concert, a benefit for the church, will find Hubka in the company of guitarist/reed player Dan Sawyer, pianist Joe Bagg, bassist Jeff D'Angelo and drummer Sinclair Lott.
Sawyer's resume as a vocal accompanist includes work with Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, Diana Ross, Natalie Cole, Melissa Manchester and Al Jarreau — he jokingly refers to himself as "the divas' guitar player." Sawyer appreciates Hubka's creative instincts. "Musically," he says, "we're on the same level. She has a really nice, conversational quality to her voice, her phrasing is very natural and there's an effortlessness that comes across. And," he pauses to emphasize, "she sings in tune."
Her background as an instrumentalist earns Sawyer's respect. Hubka sometimes accompanies herself on guitar. Her solo reading of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Manhã de Carnaval" is a study in solitary soulful expression.
"I like the fact that she's self-contained," Sawyer notes. "She plays a 7-string guitar — one with an extra bass string — so she can get booked as a single. She plays the bass lines and chords for herself while she sings — that's not easy to do."
Hubka looks at her New York years as exciting. "The East Coast energy is different," she maintains. "I think everyone ought to live in New York for a few years."
Told of transplanted jazz singer Cathy Segal Garcia's dictum for creative musicians — "In New York you have to find your place on the wheel; in L.A. you have to invent the wheel" — Hubka laughs. "It's hard everywhere," she concedes. "At least here I can get a tan."
Regarding Hubka's modus operandi, Sawyer adds: "Diane has a real jazz attitude. She doesn't rehearse too much; she likes to go out there and see what happens."

Attorney Robert Erwin pruned ivy on a tree outside his house Sunday afternoon as cars rolled through Baltimore City's new roundabout at 39th Street and Canterbury Road.
So, he was asked, is the traffic-calming device a good thing or a bad thing?
"It's a bad thing," Erwin declared. "It doesn't seem to be slowing down traffic, especially early in the morning during rush hour. And B, I think it's ugly."
But four days earlier, as a month of construction work wound down on the controversial traffic circle, 25 residents came together at the finished site July 10 for a group photo that also served as a show of solidarity and support, at least until the novelty wears off.
"We're trying to be positive about it," said Kenna Forsyth, a 37-year resident. She chairs the Tuscany-Canterbury Neighborhood Association's Gardening Committee, which oversees three small perennial gardens, including one right by the roundabout.
Debate over the roundabout has roiled Tuscany-Canterbury in recent years. Now, say residents on both sides of the issue, only time will tell if the traffic circle is effective in reducing speeding.
"It's up and running," said Jackie MacMillan, who chairs the association's traffic committee. "There's been mixed feelings leading up to it," she admitted, but added that most people in the neighborhood think the city held up its end in planning and building the roundabout and sounding out the community about it.
A year ago this week, it was clear the community was still grappling with the roundabout issue, as more than 40 people gathered at First English Lutheran Church in Guilford for a public meeting led by City Councilwoman Mary Pat Clarke, a longtime Tuscany-Canterbury resident, to discuss the city's plans.
Many residents at the meeting sought other options for reducing speeding and asked city transportation officials for speed bumps along West 39th Street in both directions and speed cameras, rather than a roundabout. Clarke said the city rejected other alternatives over the years, such as 4-way stop signs and more traffic signals.
Some dismissed the $100,000 roundabout as too dangerous for trucks, too small to slow traffic and too costly for taxpayers.
One resident said the so-called mountable mini-roundabout, which is built low to the ground and is designed to withstand a vehicle running over it, would amount to "a circular speed bump."
But transportation officials said the roundabout would improve pedestrian safety, traffic flow and area aesthetics. And resident Tina Trapane reminded residents that the neighborhood association had voted "overwhelmingly" for a roundabout after a 2-year debate.
"We should give it a chance," she said.
That's what community leaders are doing now.
"The process went well," MacMillan said. "It looks nice. It's tasteful and attractive."
"I think people are enjoying it," Forsyth said.
"The completion of the roundabout represents a great achievement," said Sue Talbot, president of the Tuscany-Canterbury Neighborhood Association. "The crew that has done the job is terrific — hard working and very, very congenial and friendly to the neighbors who have had to put up with noise, dust, etc."
Talbot said the association is planning a special ceremony in coming weeks to celebrate the completion of the circle.
'It's wonderful'
The jury is still out on how effective the roundabout will be. As recently as last month, Dino Zeytinoglu, owner of the restaurant La Famiglia near the intersection of 39th and Canterbury, panned the project as bad for business, possibly dangerous and unnecessary because it's at a minor intersection.
"I don't think it's going to be effective," he said. "The speeding is going to continue. You're just wasting taxpayer money."
"I watched people tentatively approach the circle," said Forsyth, who lives within sight of the roundabout. Bicycle riders tended to "go right over the circle," and pedestrians walked over it, bypassing the designated crosswalk.
"They're lucky," Forsyth said, noting that many Johns Hopkins University students live nearby during the school year. "Students are gone for the summer and traffic is light."
But for the most part, "People are stopping for you," Forsyth said. "It's wonderful. The people on Canterbury have always had trouble getting across the 39th Street intersection. Now, you can stick your nose out into the circle — and there's an actual U-turn."
If the roundabout makes area traffic safer, "we'll all be very happy," Clarke said. "I think we're kind of a pilot" for the city.
"Many of us have been out observing," said MacMillan, who has lived in the neighborhood for nearly 20 years. "It seems to be slowing traffic through the intersection. It's still speedy coming out of the intersection. Mostly there is some confusion. Some people don't seem to want to yield to the person in the circle."
And she said that as motorists pick up speed coming out of the circle westbound, it's a little dangerous because the block from the circle to University Parkway is curvy and other motorists are trying to parallel-park.
Man-on-the-street interviews Sunday revealed a continuing divide.
"I quite like it," said Mary Mills, 33, coming home with a bag of groceries. She said she has noticed a slowdown — "and construction wasn't bad at all."
Alexander Alexiou, 27, of Mount Vernon, found the traffic circle "annoying" as he walked to One World Cafe with a friend. "There's plenty of roadwork to be done in Baltimore. What are they doing with our tax dollars?"
"Obviously, it's not slowing anybody down," said Jennifer Tollifson, 42, of Tuscany-Canterbury, walking with her husband, Timothy, and their dog, Bowie.
Erwin claimed that the city promised landscaping that has not been done. And, he said, "It'll be interesting to see what'll happen when it snows and plows come."
Navigation tips
In hopes of avoiding confusion, Forsyth has compiled a list of tips on how to navigate the traffic circle safely and legally, including:
Obeying the yellow roundabout sign with an advisory speed limit of 5 miles per hour
Yielding to pedestrians in the crosswalk and traffic already in the roundabout
Looking for pedestrians and using your turn signal as you exit the roundabout.
Forsyth said traffic circles are often confusing at first.
She said in the case of the new one in Tuscany-Canterbury, "It occurred to me that that could be a problem once it was up and running."

Burkholder (Borcholder, Borcholter, Borckholder, Borgholder, Borkholder, Burckhalter, Burckholder, Burgholder, Burgholdter, Burkhalter, Burkalter) family
A Bernese Swiss Mennonite family name, there have been many Burkholder descendants in Europe and North America, including a large number of leaders in the Mennonite Church (MC). The name is said to have originated from a place in Switzerland called Burghalde. One of the earliest Mennonite leaders of this name was Hans Burkholder of Bern, a minister of the church who was born about 1617. He escaped from prison in 1658 and averted a forced deportation to Holland. In 1669 he was again in prison in Bern, and once more escaped. Two years later he with his wife and seven children were living in Kriegsheim in the Palatinate. Later the family located at Gerolsheim. His son Hans became a Mennonite minister at Gerolsheim in 1702, and was later ordained as an elder. He served faithfully for many decades and died in 1752. He was very active in corresponding with the Dutch Mennonites about the plight of his fellow Bernese exiles in the Palatinate. His son, Christian Burkholder, was also a minister, and like his father carried on correspondence with Johannes Deknatel and others in Holland. The name Burkholder was still found in Europe in the 20th century; in 1935, there was an Anna Borkholder listed as a member of the Durlach congregation in Baden, South Germany.
The Burkholders of North America are descendants of various immigrants. One of the earliest was a Hans Burkholder who had been ordained as an elder in Switzerland, and who settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1717. He is credited with having organized the Stone congregation near New Danville. His relation to the Burkholders listed above is not known. He died about 1745.
An Abraham Burkholder came to North America in 1717 and settled in York County, Pennsylvania, in an area that is now in Dauphin County. In 1732 an Ulrich Burkholder came to Lancaster County. A year later another Ulrich arrived, settling in Northampton County, and his descendants are now scattered throughout the West, many of them members of the Reformed Church.
In 1755 a Christian Burkholder made arrangements to migrate from Switzerland to North America, but died before leaving. His widow and six children came and settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. His son Christian Burkholder (1746-1809) became a minister in 1770 and a bishop in 1778, serving in the Groffdale congregation. He is the author of the Anrede an die Jugend (Address to Youth) (Ephrata, 1804), printed as Part IV of all American editions (German and English) of Roosen's Conversation on Christian Faith after 1837. Christian's brother Peter moved to the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, where his son, also named Peter Burkholder (1783-1846), became a minister (1805), bishop (1837), and an author of note; he edited the Twisck Confession of 33 Articles from the Martyrs' Mirror, wrote a book on baptism in 1816, another on predestination, and a third entitled, Nine Reflections on the Holy Scriptures. His son Martin Burkholder (1817-60) was ordained a minister in 1839 and succeeded his father as bishop following the latter's death in 1846. Another grandson of Peter who located in Virginia was John Burkholder (1838-1909) of Mahoning County, Ohio, ordained as minister in 1879 and as bishop in 1886. David Burkholder (1835-1923) of Nappanee, Indiana, ordained minister in 1880 and bishop in 1904, was another descendant of this same Peter Burkholder, as was Christian Burkholder of Ontario. Christian's son Benjamin located in Marion County, Kansas, and Benjamin's grandson, Ezra Burkholder, was a millionaire banker, merchant, and landowner. There have been several Burkholder ministers among the Mennonites of Virginia.
Other church leaders bearing the name Burkholder include Joseph Burkholder (1803-1875), a descendant of the immigrant Ulrich of 1732. Joseph, of the Manor-Conestoga district of the Lancaster Conference, was ordained as minister in 1846 and as bishop in 1864. His grandson, Christian C. Burkholder (1865-1931), was a Brethren in Christ bishop and the president of Beulah College, Upland, California. Lewis J. Burkholder (1875-1949) of Markham, Ontario was minister of the Cedar Grove congregation (1896-1949), author of History of the Mennonites in Ontario (1935), and co-founder of the Ontario Mennonite Bible School. Oscar Burkholder (1886-1956) was a minister in Breslau, Ontario (1913-1954), a bishop (ordained in 1949), a teacher in the Ontario Mennonite Bible School (1920-1956), and the principal of the school (1948-1954). Among the 19th-century Bernese Swiss who settled in the Berne, Indiana and Bluffton, Ohio General Conference (GCM) communities, there were several Burkhalter families. Edward Burkhalter and Martha Burkhalter, missionaries in India, came from the Berne community, and Harold D. Burkholder, president of Grace Bible Institute, came from the Bluffton region. There have also been some Burkholders among the Old Order Amish, chiefly in northern Indiana, where there have been several ministers by this name, as well as a bishop, David O. Burkholder of Nappanee, Indiana.

Frontline health workers are an essential component of health systems worldwide -- without them, there is no access to care for people living with HIV or anyone else. Yet in 2012, the World Health Organization estimates a shortage of at least one million frontline health workers worldwide, with Africa the region in greatest need. PEPFAR, in collaboration with partner countries, is pursuing a number of initiatives to respond.
Our efforts are being reinforced by many actors around the globe. A growing number of health organizations, recognizing the life-saving impact frontline health workers offer, are committed to employing innovative strategies to address the crisis. Tomorrow, 37 of these organizations from the public and private sector are coming together in Washington to launch the Frontline Health Workers Coalition. The coalition will seek to stimulate high-impact investments in frontline health workers in the developing world, in order to save more lives and foster healthier communities.
Through PEPFAR, the United States has been a leader in making such investments. As we have moved from an emergency response toward a more sustainable, country-owned approach, we have been strengthening health systems as the foundation to achieving long-term health objectives -- such as the goal Secretary Clinton announced in November of an AIDS-free generation. PEPFAR and its implementing partners -- many of which are represented in the new coalition -- are working with partner countries to implement game-changing programs.
Two programs that exemplify our efforts to build lasting solutions are the Medical Education Partnership Initiative (MEPI) and the Nursing Education Partnership Initiative (NEPI). Through these, PEPFAR seeks to alleviate Africa's critical shortage of trained healthcare professionals and paraprofessionals, while developing sustainable local capacity to produce skilled doctors, nurses, and midwives for generations to come.
For medical education, over the five years of MEPI, PEPFAR, and the National Institutes of Health are providing $130 million directly to medical schools in a dozen African countries. The schools are using these funds to improve medical education, invest in innovative technologies, and strengthen educational resources. Funds are also used to support the research capacity of MEPI institutions, enabling African researchers and scholars to making invaluable contributions to the larger body of HIV knowledge.
In a similar fashion, PEPFAR is providing training and technical support to nursing and midwifery programs through NEPI. We recently launched NEPI in three countries -- Zambia, Lesotho, and Malawi -- that face extreme challenges in meeting the need for trained nurses and midwives, and will soon expand to additional countries. Partnering with Ministries of Health will be key to NEPI's success, and Ministries have embraced the opportunities to collaborate to develop a strong nursing workforce.
These programs are building on Africa's greatest resource of all -- its people. To make a truly lasting difference in our health and development programs, we will continue to support this kind of work. On this and our other efforts to support human resources for health, we look forward to collaborating with the members of the Frontline Health Workforce Alliance.

Subscribe To Bob Barker Saves Toronto Elephants For A Pretty Penny Updates
I've already subscribed
The Toronto Zoo faced controversy several years ago, when multiple elephants died in a period of only four years in what could be considered the prime of the elephant's lives. Eventually, the decision was made to transport the remaining elephants to the Performing Animals Welfare Society, an elephant sanctuary in San Andreas, California. However, the cost of transport was a bit of a problem, especially since one of the elephants was too weak to sustain a lengthy drive. Luckily, Bob Barker is still willing to help some fellas out… if the price is right.
The 88 year-old former host of The Price is Right has been a long time supporter of animal rights, and now he has shelled out some hefty cash to fly the three remaining Toronto Zoo elephants to the PAWS sanctuary. According to CBS News, the popular game show host has offered to spend $880,000 of his own money to fly the elephants out to San Andreas. Barkers' spokesperson Henri Bollinger confirmed the news Friday, also mentioning that flight is necessary due to the one of the elephants having a bad foot.
Thika, Iringa, and Toka will take a Russian cargo jet to their new sanctuary, which should prove a lot more open, but also a lot warmer of an arena than the weather they withstood in Toronto. $880,000 may seem like a lot of money, but Barker truly feels as if he made the right decision.
"Now they have an opportunity to live the rest of their lives at what has been described as 'elephant paradise.' To think that one of them might not survive the trip in a truck touched my heart and purse strings."
Pop Blend would like to wish Barker the best in his future animal endeavors.

465MB update delivers Android 4.2.2 and brings the death of the dreaded black bar
A user with an international model HTC One in Taiwan just sent in some good news -- the 4.2.2 OTA has arrived for his phone. Nothing in the way of a change log is available from HTC just yet, but the update screen tells us a little bit. Besides the new API level that comes with 4.2.2, HTC has included:
- Launcher bar enhancement
- Widget panel rearrangement
- New lock screen style and widget
- Enhanced behavior of the home button
- The death of the black bar
- Battery percentage in the status bar
- Quick settings
- AE/AF enhancements in the camera
So far the only reports are coming from the Taiwan area, and I've been trying every trick I know to force anything on my developer edition. This follows the same trend we've seen before with the One X, where Taiwan and Singapore were the first to get the goods.
There's no telling when we'll see carrier versions of the update, but knowing that HTC is finished with it should make everyone breathe a little easier. Hit the break for some screenshots of the new features.
Thanks, Alex!

Cisco's earnings report showed an important change for the company as well as the broader economy, CNBC's Jim Cramer said Thursday, and investors can expect increased margins from the networking giant.
"This was a great quarter and there was levity on the call which I like to hear," Cramer said. "A couple things (CEO John Chambers) pointed out that I thought was interesting. He said Europe has bottomed out. State and local governments in the United States, strong. Good business from AT&T, Verizon, Time Warner and Comcast."
"This was one of these quarters where he basically said, 'listen, we're not a hardware company anymore, we're a solutions company.'" Cramer said on "Squawk on the Street."

Spiders Alive! Extended Through Sunday, January 6 main content.
by AMNH on
Intrigued by arachnids? There is more time to visit the Museum's Spiders Alive!; the exhibition will now remain open through the holidays, until Sunday, January 6.
Earlier this fall, we asked the exhibit's spider handlers for some of the most interesting visitor-questions inspired by the live spiders in the show, and posed them to our in-house spider expert: Museum Curator Norman Platnick. In this video, Dr. Platnick provides some fascinating answers, to questions including:
Do spiders have blood? Why don't they stick to their own webs? Is it better to be bitten by a black widow or a brown recluse?
Spiders Alive! immerses visitors in the fascinating and complex world of spiders, among the most versatile animals on the planet: they inhabit every continent but Antarctica and are able to survive in environments that range from deserts to rainforests to crowded cities. Live spiders in the exhibition include the goliath bird eater, the black widow, and species from other arachnid orders such as African whip spiders.
For more information on the Spiders Alive! exhibition, which closes Sunday, January 6, 2013, or to purchase tickets, click here.
