Lacking in the standard histories of the California missions as well as in several excellent biographical sketches, are long-sought, important vital statistics with regard to two among California’s greatest missionaries, Fray Francisco Palóu, O.F.M., and Fray Fermín Francisco Lasuén, O.F.M., respectively California’s first historian and the California missions’ second regularly appointed presidente. Why the chronological niche of the two missionaries in the facade of California history has stood unfinished is due to peculiar circumstances of recording and the hideout that certain necessary documents have maintained. Other missionaries, less prominent, are often much better outlined in Franciscan chronology. With regard to Palóu, our interest centers on the exact day and year of his death. Even that of his birth was made known only in 1924 through the combined efforts of the Rev. LeRoy Callahan of the diocesan clergy of Los Angeles, and the Rev. Zephyrin Engelhardt, O.F.M., of Mission Santa Barbara. Father Callahan was in Mallorca doing research work on the early life of Junípero Serra while Father Engelhardt was composing his San Francisco Mission.

Chapter Two investigates the expansive success of Pride celebrations following the initial events of 1970. After introducing the new and exciting Pride events, the phenomenon grew in size and crystallized in form within the next decade. As more and more people participated in their events, Pride organizers in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago balanced the interests of activists, entertainers, businesses, and unaffiliated gays and lesbians. Seeing successful Pride marches in these cities, community leaders in Boston, Atlanta, San Francisco, San Diego, Dallas, and Detroit held their own events. As the phenomenon grew, organizers and participants faced questions over representation, commercial influence, and frivolity that are still debated today. In this chapter, the author describes how Pride established itself in its early years as an annual parade promoting visibility and acceptance of the gay and lesbian (and later bisexual and transgender) community.

The Impact

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of a Social Branding intervention in bars and nightclubs on smoking behavior. Design: Quasi-experimental controlled study. Setting: Bars and nightclubs in San Diego and San Francisco (intervention) and Los Angeles (control). Participants: “Hipster” young adults (age 18-26) attending bars and nightclubs. Intervention: Anti-tobacco messages delivered through monthly anti-tobacco music/social events, opinion leaders, original art, direct mail, promotional activities, and online media. Measures: A total of 7240 surveys were collected in 3 cities using randomized time location sampling at baseline (2012-2013) and follow-up (2015-2016); data were analyzed in 2018. The primary outcome was current smoking. Analysis: Multivariable logistic regression assessed correlates of smoking, adjusting for covariates including electronic cigarette use; differences between cities were evaluated using location-by-time interactions. Results: Smoking in San Francisco decreased at a significantly faster rate (51.1%-44.1%) than Los Angeles (45.2%-44.5%) ( P = .034). Smoking in San Diego (mean: 39.6%) was significantly lower than Los Angeles (44.8%, P < .001) at both time points with no difference in rate of change. Brand recall was not associated with smoking behavior, but recall was associated with anti-tobacco attitudes that were associated with smoking. Conclusion: This is the first controlled study of Social Branding interventions. Intervention implementation was accompanied by decreases in smoking (San Francisco) and sustained lower smoking (San Diego) among young adult bar patrons over 3 years.

General Plan

Urbanization is a major driver of global species loss. While cities with suitable habitats and conservation policies may support locally-high biodiversity levels, we suspected that the complexity of managing very large cities might counteract the advantage of large geographic area, and these cities may be less effective at biodiversity conservation. To answer this, we examined the relationship between the number of native indicator wildlife species (mean and maximum) in 112 cities across three metropolitan areas in California (Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Jose), with metrics related to scale and environmental variables. We found that indicator species richness is positively related to area, income (the luxury effect), and pervious cover—including trees, shrubs, and grasses. Despite having a high maximum number of indicator species within their boundaries, the largest cities in our study, Los Angeles, San Jose, and San Diego, do a relatively poor job compared with smaller cities at distributing native biodiversity throughout neighborhoods, as measured by their mean species richness. Such variation in “neighborhood biodiversity” may exacerbate existing inequities in residents' access to nature. Using Los Angeles County as a case study, we compared biodiversity management within the County's 88 cities of various sizes and characteristics. We ranked General Plan wording in terms of references to biodiversity and conservation and created a management metric. We found that municipalities of various sizes that had high management scores generally had high indicator species richness. This suggests that robust policies may be able to overcome the challenges posed by city size and population.

History Of

Bradbury’s six-year odyssey to celebrate and explore the history of Halloween opens chapter 3, culminating in the shift from a screen project to the 1972 publication of The Halloween Tree. In 1972 Bradbury also opened the “Cosmic Evolution” lecture series in San Francisco, sponsored in part by the NASA/Ames Research Center. Chapter 3 concludes with Bradbury’s entry into the world of writing conferences, first with Writer’s Community at Squaw Valley and then with the annual Santa Barbara Writers’ Conference, where he would lecture and work with writers for more than thirty years. At the urging of Shel Dorf, Bradbury’s role as a perennial featured presence at the San Diego Comic Con also began in the early 1970s.

Para Determinar

El aumento de la población y el uso creciente de la energía nuclear producen contaminación radioactiva en las aguas próximas a las costas. En la Institución Scripps se efectúan estudios para estimar lo objetable que esto pueda llegar a ser en el sur de California y en Baja California. Entre Ensenada y Santa Bárbara existe un Vórtice costero permanente (contracorriente) que provoca la dispersión de contaminantes, ya que las aguas oceánicas vienen primero hacia la costa cerca de Ensenada para luego deslizarse rumbo al norte. Por lo tanto, para determinar si la contaminación ha alcanzado o no a la planta marina o a un animal, o a un sedimento recogidos cerca de San Diego, Los Angeles o Santa Bárbara, se deben hacer comparaciones analíticas con muestras idénticas recogidas cerca de Ensenada, donde la costa está bañada directamente con aguas oceánicas mas limpias. Sin embargo, deben también considerarse muchos otros factores antes de demostrar científicamente la existencia de rastros anteriores de contaminación radioactiva en la costa. El océano contiene radioactividad y también cantidades medibles de desechos radioactivos de las pruebas de armamentos. Aun en el océano abierto, los niveles radioactivos están cambiando continuamente; por lo tanto, para estimar qué cantidad de radioactividad existía antes de tener efecto la contaminación, se debe tomar en cuenta el registro del desecho producido por las pruebas del armamento y también considerar qué factores físicos, químicos o biológicos actuán en la redistribución de este desecho en el océano. En este trabajo deben incluirse todas las ramas de la Oceanografía.

Die Blaue Vier [The Blue Four] was founded in Weimar in March 1924 at the initiative of Galka E. Scheyer, who became the American representative of the four artists Lyonel Feininger, Alexei Jawlensky, Wassily Kandinsky, and Paul Klee. Although implying a direct link with and a continuation of the spiritual orientation of Der Blaue Reiter [The Blue Rider], the association was essentially a public relations effort—an attempt to put the works of the four artists under a common name in order to exhibit and sell their works successfully in the United States. Between 1925 and 1944, Scheyer organized Blue Four exhibitions in New York, Palo Alto, San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego, Portland, Spokane, Seattle, Mexico City, Santa Barbara, Chicago, Northampton, and Honolulu. In the 1930s, Scheyer, believing that she could better present the artists’ work in a suitably arranged private setting, built a small gallery house on Blue Heights Drive in Hollywood. Scheyer’s personal collection of works by the Blue Four is now a part of the permanent collection of the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena.
