Description
Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve is a small regional park mainly located in the city of Oakland, California, and administered by the East Bay Regional Park District. The park is named for the canyon in which it's situated, Claremont Canyon, out of which Claremont Creek flows on its way to its confluence with Temescal Creek. Originally, the canyon was named "Harwood's Canyon", then "Telegraph Canyon". The name was changed to Claremont by a developer of the nearby Claremont district.Despite its small size of 205acre, Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve forms an important link in the chain of parks that line the Berkeley Hills. It rises from a height of about 420 ft (130 m) above sea level, just behind the Clark Kerr campus of the University of California, Berkeley to the average 1300 ft (400 m) ridge of the East Bay hills, linking by way of other conserved land belonging to the University and the East Bay Municipal Utility District to other parks such as Tilden Regional Park and Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve. It thus offers direct pedestrian access to the park system, with connections to public transportation, from the lower-lying residential areas of Berkeley and Oakland.Stonewall Panoramic TrailThe Stonewall Panoramic Trail begins at a parking area on Stonewall Road, behind the historic Claremont Hotel. The trail is 1.6mi long and ascends 700feet. The steep path up to the ridge gives splendid views across the cities of Berkeley and Oakland, and beyond to San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco. On clear days, especially in winter, the Farallon Islands, about 44 miles (70 km) away, can be seen beyond the Golden Gate.

Il Bevatron è un acceleratore di particelle, in particolare un sincrotrone per protoni, del Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, che ha operato dal 1954 al 1993.Al Bevatron vennero effettuati gli esperimenti che portarono alla scoperta dell'antiprotone nel 1955. Per questa scoperta il fisico italiano Emilio Segrè e lo statunitense Owen Chamberlain ricevettero il Premio Nobel per la fisica nel 1959. I protoni venivano accelerati nell'anello di 55 m di diametro e venivano inviati a collidere su targhette metalliche, con un'energia finale di 6.5 GeV. Il nome Bevatron deriva dall'accezione inglese usata all'epoca per indicare i GeV: Billions of eV Synchrotron.

The UC Theatre was a movie theater on University Avenue near Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley, California, known for having a revival house presentation of films, from the 1970s until its closing.In 2013, The Berkeley Music Group was formed as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the mission to renovate and operate the UC Theater as live music venue. It is scheduled for opening in Fall of 2015.HistoryOpened in 1917 as a first run theater, the 1,300-seat theater was acquired in 1974 by theater owner Gary Meyer as one of the first theaters—along with the Nuart Theatre in Los Angeles—in his Landmark Theatres chain. The theater was named after, but had no relation to, the nearby University of California, Berkeley. The theater under Meyer showed older films, in double or triple features, generally for a single night, but sometimes for a week at a time. Along with the Rialto, Telegraph and Northside theaters in Berkeley, it was one of the main venues in the East Bay for showing both domestic and foreign film classics.The theater closed in March 2001 when Landmark—no longer owned by Meyer—made the decision to close the theater rather than spend the reported $350,000 needed for a seismic upgrade. The theater was named a landmark by the City of Berkeley on 6 May 2002. As of early 2006, plans to convert the theater to a jazz club have been submitted to the City of Berkeley. A plan to convert it into a musical venue were proposed in 2009.
