Arroyo Seco (Los Angeles River)

Der Arroyo Seco (span.: „trockener Bach“) ist ein ephemerer Nebenfluss des Los Angeles River im Los Angeles County im Bundesstaat Kalifornien. Der 22 Meilen lange Fluss entspringt in den San Gabriel Mountains und durchfließt Pasadena, Altadena, La Cañada Flintridge, South Pasadena und nordöstliche Teile von Los Angeles, wo er im Stadtteil Lincoln Heights in den Los Angeles River mündet. Der Los Angeles River entwässert in den Pazifik. Der Flusslauf ist heute größtenteils durch Betonwände reguliert. Entlang des Flusses siedelten vor dem Eintreffen der Europäer Tongva-Indianer. 1760 erreichte die Expedition von Gaspar de Portolà den Arroyo Seco und Portolà nannte den Fluss Arroyo Seco. Um durch Überschwemmungen verursachte Flutkatastrophen vorzubeugen, wurde 1914 der Los Angeles County Flood Control District gegründet. Bereits 1916 wurde mit der Errichtung des Devil’s Gate Dam im Lauf des Arroyo Seco in Pasadena begonnen. Der Staudamm zur Flutregulierung wurde 1920 beendet. Aber auch nach der Fertigstellung trat der Fluss nach schweren Regenfällen noch über die Ufer. Von 1934 bis 1947 wurde dann ein Betonbett für den gesamten Lauf des Arroyo Seco angelegt. 1936 führte eine dreiköpfige Gruppe des Jet Propulsion Laboratory um Jack Parsons im Bett des zu der Zeit trockenliegenden Flussbetts die ersten US-amerikanischen Raketenversuche durch. Es bestehen Bestrebungen den Arroyo Seco zu renaturieren. Weblinks Arroyo Seco Foundation Gewässerdaten bei US Geological Survey Einzelnachweise

Arthur A. Benjamin Health Professions High School

Arthur A. Benjamin Health Professions High School (AABHPHS) is a high school in the Upper Land Park neighborhood of Sacramento, California. A member of the Sacramento City Unified School District. History During the fall of 2002, developers met with other founding partners to discuss the potential merits of a small healthcare high school for Sacramento. Sacramento was experiencing an extreme shortage of new, qualified healthcare workers and the Sacramento City Unified School District was in the process of developing a network of small, focused high schools. In 2005, a temporary campus was built for inaugural freshmen for one year. And in late 2006, the final campus was completed. AABHPHS is named after the late Senior Master Sergeant (Retired) Arthur A. Benjamin, U.S.A.F., a life support systems specialist and instructor in the United States Air Force; prior Director for the U.C. Davis Medical Center Cancer Ward; prior Air Force Junior ROTC instructor from nearby Hiram Johnson High School, and prior principal for Hiram Johnson. Extracurricular and academic activities The school offers many extracurricular and academic activities that include: MESA, basketball, volleyball, science, Japanese, Latino, yearbook, leadership, anime, martial arts, and dance. All clubs participate in school. References
Arthur B. Ripley Desert Woodland State Park

Arthur B. Ripley Desert Woodland State Park is a state park in the western Antelope Valley in Southern California. The park protects mature stands of Joshua trees (Yucca brevifolia) and California juniper trees (Juniperus californica) in their western Mojave Desert habitat. The park is located in northern Los Angeles County, 20 miles (32 km) west of downtown Lancaster and about 5 miles (8.0 km) from the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve. History The site was donated to the state in 1988 by farmer Arthur "Archie" Ripley, and preserves a remnant of Joshua/juniper woodland which once grew in great abundance throughout the valley. Today only remnant parcels of this woodland community remain in the valley, much of the rest having been cleared for farming, housing, and some rather esoteric uses — directions for nighttime automobile travelers in the first half of the 20th century and even pulp for newspaper usage. The 566-acre (229 ha) property was officially acquired in 1993. The Joshua tree played an important part in the cultural history of the Antelope Valley, providing a vital source of food and fiber materials for the Native Americans that inhabited the region. The Junipers in the park were the subject of botanical research by the late Otis M. (Milt) Stark, a Lancaster wildflower photographer and local historian who was among the volunteers who helped establish trails through the park.

Artichoke Joe's Casino

Artichoke Joe's Casino is a card club in San Bruno, California. The club is owned by Dennis Sammut and managed, in part, by Ron Cox, a former Foster City councilman. History The establishment has been a family-founded and -owned business since 1916. The single room "Joe's Pool Parlor" was rebranded "Artichoke Joe's" in 1921, becoming a permanent fixture in San Bruno sporting life. Joseph Sammut opened his pool parlor and phone exchange in Al LoReaux's former plumbing shop. Most bets concerned horse races. Joe accepted any wager, no matter how large. Asked how he would pay off if he lost a big bet, he replied, "In artichoke leaves," hence the name. Still owned by the Sammut family, Artichoke Joe's is one of the city's oldest businesses. The casino came to fame in the 1990s when the owner spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in an attempt to prevent potential loss of business due to the SFO BART extension construction project.

Asian Pacific Thematic Historic District

The Asian Pacific Thematic Historic District (APTHD) is a historic Chinatown in San Diego, California. It is an eight-block district adjacent to and in part overlapping with the Gaslamp Quarter. The district is bounded by Market Street to the north, 2nd Ave. to the west, 6th Ave. to the east and J St. to the south. 22 structures are considered historically contributing. History San Diego's Chinatown began in the area in the 1860s, settled by abalone fishermen. The area was once a thriving Chinatown full of Chinese and Chinese-Americans. However, in present day, the area no longer has an especially large Chinese population. After returning from service in World War II, Chinese-Americans moved to other areas of San Diego. The area was finally concluded as a Historic District during the redevelopment of the Gaslamp Quarter in the 1980s and 90s, when eventually dozens of Chinese owned businesses closed and the majority of the Chinese population began to dissipate. The area was not only home to the Chinese community in San Diego, but was also shared by the Japanese and Filipino communities. The City of San Diego designated the area a historic district in 1987. A "makeover" by the Centre City Development Corporation is scheduled for completion in 2012. Architecture and Contributing Buildings The 22 contributing structures date from 1883 to 1930. Contribution is based on their relation in the Asian (mostly Chinese) community. Buildings include the San Diego Chinese Historical Museum and the San Diego Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association. The San Diego Chinese Historical Museum was built in 1927 elsewhere and was originally the Chinese Mission. It was moved to its present location in 1996. Murray K. Lee, curator of the museum, is as of January 2011 preparing a book about the history of Chinatown.

Atwell Mill Grove

Atwell Mill Grove is a giant sequoia grove in the east fork of the Kaweah watershed area in California. Can be accessed via the Mineral King Road which branches off California State Route 198 below the south entrance to Sequoia National Park. The grove is located about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of the community of Silver City and 19 miles (31 km) from the junction of highway 198. The road into this section of the park is narrow and difficult. Atwell Mill Campground, on East Fork of the Kaweah River, is located in part of the grove that was logged before the trees were protected. Atwell Mill was at one time a lumber mill that processed logs from the grove. Noteworthy trees Some of the trees found in the grove that are worthy of special note are: Diamond: This tree is on a steep slope, and is taller than average at almost 290 feet. It's the largest tree of the grove. Above Diamond: This tree is just above the Diamond Tree, (hence the name "AD") the main trunk is thick. Dean Tree: 32,333 cubic feet (915 cubic meters) in volume, gives this tree a rank inside the top 30 giant sequoias in the world. Arm Tree: The largest known limb of any tree in the world belongs to this tree at around 12 feet in diameter. Also known as the "Big Limb Tree". Tunnel Tree: Has a basal diameter (not girth) of fifty-seven feet (seventeen meters) with an internal cavity large enough to hold three Volkswagen Bugs.

Auburn Masonic Temple (Auburn, California)

The Auburn Masonic Temple, also known as the Auburn Masonic Hall and the John H. Robinson Memorial Masonic Temple, is an historic two-story Masonic building located at 948 Lincoln Way on the Central Square in Auburn, California. In 1913 Eureka Lodge No. 16, Free and Accepted Masons, chartered in 1851, bought two adjoining one-story redbrick commercial buildings on this site for $17,000 and commissioned architect Allen D. Fellows to add a second-story to them with a unified facade with an entrance to the second floor placed in on the left side of the first floor street front. Fellows designed the expansion in the Beaux-Arts style of architecture with brick walls and a terracotta facade and it was built in 1914-1915 by Herdal Brothers of Auburn and dedicated on April 25, 1916. The terracotta was supplied by Gladding, McBean and Company which is still in existence. The first floor, which once housed a J. C. Penney store, continues to be used for retail and office space while the second floor continues to be used by Eureka Lodge and other Masonic-related bodies. On December 19, 2011, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Auburn State Recreation Area

Auburn State Recreation Area is a state park unit of California, along 40 miles (64 km) of the North and Middle Forks of the American River. The state recreation area (SRA) is situated on the border of Placer and El Dorado Counties in the heart of historic Gold Country. The largest city with close proximity is the city of Auburn. Once teeming with gold mining activity, the area now offers a wide variety of outdoor recreational opportunities. Major recreational uses include trail running, hiking, swimming, boating, fishing, camping, mountain biking, gold panning, horseback riding, road bicycling, and off-highway motorcycle riding. Whitewater recreation is also very popular on both forks of the river, with Class II, III and IV runs. Auburn SRA is also known as the location of a number of endurance races that are hosted throughout the year. History Auburn SRA comprises lands set aside for the proposed Auburn Dam. However a large earthquake at Oroville nearby was found to have been caused by the Oroville Dam at that location, which led to examination and discovery that the Auburn dam site is situated on a geologic fault. This discovery halted the Auburn Dam project because of fears that constructing a dam and lake would cause a reservoir-induced earthquake which could lead to a dam's collapse, with catastrophic consequences for the city of Sacramento lying directly below. As such the project has been abandoned. The project had required the acquisition of 40,000 acres of land, much of it privately held, potentially against the will of long-term inhabitants; prior to the end of the project, 20,000 acres was taken. There is an upside, as a result of the surplus land taken for the project, millions of people now enjoy the Auburn State Recreation Area in its natural state, with multiple wilderness canyons offering access to one of the last remaining natural river systems in Central California. The California Department of Parks and Recreation administers the area under a contract with the United States Bureau of Reclamation. Endurance races The state park is host to a number of sporting endurance events with the City of Auburn declaring itself as the "Endurance Capital of the World." Endurance held within the park include the Western States Endurance Run, Western States Trail Ride also known as Tevis Cup Equestrian Ride, American River 50 Mile Endurance Run, American River 50 Mile Equestrian Ride, Way Too Cool 50 Kilometer Endurance Run, Auburn International Half Iron Triathlon, Auburn Century 100 Mile Bike Ride, Coolest 24 Hour Mountain Bike Ride, Rio Del Lago 100 Mile Endurance Run, Sierra Nevada 50 Mile Endurance Run, and the Coolest Run: Ride & Tie. Media appearances A stunt from the 2002 film XXX was filmed in the park, in which a Corvette is driven off the Foresthill Bridge while the driver parachutes to safety. The 2005 book Nature Noir: A Park Ranger's Patrol in the Sierra recounted author Jordan Fisher Smith's experiences as a park ranger at Auburn SRA.
