There's excellent, hassle-free dining on the warm side of the Bay Bridge at these popular local restaurants.
Sure, San Francisco has great restaurants. But you know what else it has? Bone-chilling fog, snooty service, monthslong reservation queues, and parking so diabolically difficult it would make the Dalai Lama lay on his horn in frustration. So why not skip the windbreaker and head to the East Bay to sample its culinary gems—long-standing highlights and the best of the recent restaurant boom—without the city hassle. Area code is 510.
- Downtown Berkeley has long been known more for its student-friendly budget offerings than for gourmet fare. But Comal flipped the script when it opened in 2012. Executive chef Matt Gandin beautifully blends an ingredient-driven California cuisine sensibility into such comforting Mexican dishes as chicken mole tamales, beef and pork albóndigas meatballs, and an outrageous tripe stew. But the greatest pleasure might be simply enjoying the fantastic back patio, a mescal-based cocktail, and a shared order of fresh-made chips and guacamole. 2020 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, 926-6300, comalberkeley.com.
- Michelin-starred chef and Oakland native James Syhabout has won locals' hearts by following the lauded, upscale Commis with several offshoots, the most recent of which, the Dock, may be his best. Sharing a one-of-a-kind location with the popular Linden Street Brewery—one that overlooks the Port of Oakland—the Dock tips its cap to the city's working-class roots, serving an imaginative selection of small plates to be enjoyed with beer. Favorites include jerk chicken wings flavored with pineapple vinegar and habanero, and fried Brussels sprouts with salted fish roe, chile flake, garlic, and capers. 95 Linden St., Oakland, 338-3965, thedockoakland.com.
- After a long stint at the Japanese restaurant Yoshi's in San Francisco, chef Shotaro "Sho" Kamio finally opened his own place in late 2013 in the heart of Berkeley's lively Fourth Street. At Iyasare, Kamio taps into the hearty, seafood-heavy country flavors of Japan's northern Tohoku region, where he grew up. His takes on classic dishes such as okonomiyaki—savory pancakes—and agedashi tofu are flawless, while originals such as rich sea-urchin risotto are flat-out remarkable in their inventiveness. 1830 Fourth St., Berkeley, 845-8100, iyasare-berkeley.com.
- Watch owners Bob and Maggie Klein cheerfully, methodically work the crowd inside the elegant dining room at Oliveto and it's easy to see why this nearly 30-year-old Rockridge district restaurant is still one of the East Bay's finest. Dynamic young executive chef Jonah Rhodehamel, who races cars in his spare time, brings renewed vitality to the pristine Italian fare, even as the establishment's annual tomato and truffle dinners remain bucket-list dining events for Bay Area foodies. Looking for something more casual and thrifty? Try the downstairs café. 5655 College Ave., Oakland, 547-5356, oliveto.com.
- Pioneering restaurateur Charlie Hallowell's Pizzaiolo remains a classic under the steady hand of chef de cuisine Julya Shin. The lively atmosphere lures everyone from hipsters to their hungry parents for the majestic wood oven-fired pizzas sporting deliciously chewy crust and primo toppings matched by few, if any, of the never-ending stream of new "artisan pizzerias." But visitors shouldn't pass up the nightly changing pastas and entrées—the spaghetti with clams, meatballs, and fried chicken are legendary—and the excellent cocktails. 5008 Telegraph Ave., Oakland, 652-4888, pizzaiolooakland.com.

Bullet's Sports Bar is a popular place where you can enjoy the best of New Orleans. If you're interested in venturing away from the hustle and bustle of the French Quarter, this unassuming hole in the wall in the bottom half of a house, offers an adult atmosphere with great entertainment. There are no frills,andt the realness of the spot is what gives it it's charm. I visited recently and was lucky enough to meet up with owner Rollins 'Bullet' Garcia Sr. He spoke with me and talked of the neighborhood history in his 'old school' style.
Everyone asks Bullet how'd you get your nickname, Rollins "Bullet" Garcia Sr.? He tells the story with a smile; "I got shot going to get a pack of cigarettes when I was 18 years old. They were robbing the place, and at that time the record, Eighteen with a Bullet was out. A friend of mine nicknamed me that, and it stuck with me forever.
The first time I went to Bullet's Sports Bar, I came to see Kermit Ruffins perform. The neutral ground was packed with trucks and BBQ's and locals were selling food to the folks arriving to see the famous trumpet player and man about town. Things have changed since 2011. Last week, we went to see Kermit on a Thursday and the Queen of Cuisine is now serving food out of the kitchen inside Bullet's
I asked Bullet if Kermit Ruffins only plays Thursdays now?
Bullet said, "Kermit is like the weather. It can change. You know Kermit did have a ten-year stint here at Bullet's on Tuesday, but now it's Thursday. I only charge a cover when Kermit plays because Kermit is expensive." (I've added the summer schedule to this article)
I encourage everyone to go to Bullet's Sports Bar to enjoy the feel of a neighborhood hang out with world-class music, down home cooking, and where anyone under 30 is discouraged to attend without Adult Supervision.
Wednesday night is oyster night with a DJ. Thursday through Sunday the Queen of Cuisine offers up an array of southern bar staples. Get there early because the seating fills up quickly. Order yourself and your party a Set Up, which is a service of collective ingredients, such as ice, mixers, and glasses, necessary for serving various alcoholic drinks. Enjoy!

How To Get Radiant Skin- Instantly!
Exfoliating is one of the most overlooked parts of the skincare routine, which is funny because we all want that healthy glow and this is the easiest way to get it!
Exfoliation is good for every skin type… Yes, EVERY SKIN TYPE (even you, Ms. Sensitive Skin)! It removes dead cells from pores- making them appear smaller, your makeup will sit better, and it enables your skin to absorb those expensive products so they can actually do their job.
Our body is always generating new skin cells. So where does the dead skin go? Well, unless you exfoliate regularly, it is building up on your face. Meaning it can leave skin looking dull, rough, and dry. On top of just looking bad, the build-up of dead skin cells can result in excess oil and clogged pores, leading to blemishes and acne.
There are two main types of exfoliants:
Manual (a.k.a. scrubs)- choose one with smooth, round granules rather than jagged, rough particles to avoid injuring your skin. Be gentle- a light touch is all you need to slough off the dead skin cells. Any more than that and you're likely to irritate your skin.
Chemical- Chemical exfoliants usually don't have any granules because they contain alpha or beta hydroxy acids that exfoliate the skin. There are also natural products that exfoliate by using enzymes from fruit.
So… Here is where it can get confusing. There are SO many different types of exfoliants, which ones should you use and how often? I put together a quick and easy breakdown depending on your skin type. If you aren't sure what type of skin you have, ask me!
Dry skin:
Dry skin gets an abnormal buildup of skin cells, preventing normal exfoliation and normal moisture retention. Exfoliating helps the dead skin cells shed at a more normal rate, making room for new skin cells and enabling moisture to stay.
Use a light facial scrub that has super-fine particles every two or three days.
Exfoliate 2 times a week- if you over exfoliate your skin will become more dry & irritated!
Always follow it up with your favorite moisturizer.
Acne Prone:
Acne prone skin can be very frustrating because it's often oily, dry, sensitive and normal- all in one!
Stay away from rough physical scrubs, which can contribute to breakouts.
Chemical exfoliants are perfect for you! A face wash made with hydroxy acids like glycolic or salicylic can remove grime and penetrate oil to break down pore-clogging dead skin cells.
Exfoliate 2 times a week- if you over exfoliate your skin can become irritated and create more oil and breakouts.
Sensitive Skin:
Sensitive skin is similar to acne prone skin because it can coincide with any skin type.
Gritty scrubs are definitely off-limits!
Consider a cleanser or toner rich in fruit or plant enzymes. Rhonda Allison has some amazing products for this skin type!
You can also use a clean, cool, wet washcloth in circular motions to loosen and sweep away dead skin cells.
Exfoliate 2 times a week- try one time with a chemical exfoliant and one time with the clean washcloth.
Normal/ Oily Skin (this is what I have):
"Normal" usually means "combo"- oily T-zone and dry cheeks.
You can use any time of exfoliant with normal skin. I love a mild physical scrub more than a chemical. I like the feeling that I am getting in there and really cleansing my skin.
Exfoliate 2-3 times a week.
When you are experimenting with exfoliants, start slow. Try one time a week and see how your skin responds then work up from there.
You can also exfoliate your body! I love my glove. I use mine in the shower every day- just add a little body wash and scrub away!
What do you use to exfoliate? Physical or chemical? Let me know!

I completely agree, exfoliating regularly makes a huge difference that and proper hydration
Jo October 27, 2017 at 5:57 pm
This was a great read! I didn't realize different skin types needed to exfoliate in different ways, but now it makes total sense! Love a good exfoliation. XOXO
Camilla Jane || Jane Wonder Blog November 28, 2017 at 7:41 am
I have dry skin at the moment since I am on Roaccutane :/ I still have to exfoliate otherwise my skin looks super dull, plus I have to avoid many active ingredients! My favourite exfoliater is Daily Microfoliant from Dermalogica!
Marie May 30, 2018 at 5:29 pm
I have acne prone skin so thanks for the chemical exfoliants reccomendation! I love glycolic acid, I use it every night after I wash my face.

We're loving it at Unity Acoustic. It's so laid back and relaxed. We kick off at 4:00pm in the afternoon with a barbecue courtesy Louis and actually the feasting goes on until at least 8:oopm. which is great if you can't be bothered to cook for yourselves on a Sunday.
Richard ()above left)continues to find amazing acts to entertain us. This is Tim playing his own compositions. Slightly reminiscent of Al Stewart. The rest of the photos are of a few people chilling out and relaxing at the end of the weekend.

Marnie Simpson has publicly dumped her Celebrity Big Brother co-star and boyfriend Lewis Bloor over shocking cheating allegations.
The Geordie Shore star fired off a series of angry tweets late Tuesday (February 21) after The Sun published video purportedly showing Lewis kissing a woman who he met hailing a taxi on Valentine's Day.
This woman - who identified herself as Ammelia Gueste to the tabloid - claimed that Lewis never mentioned having a girlfriend before they hooked up in a Central London hotel room, but later claimed his relationship with Marnie was "just for the money" when confronted.
It is not clear if Lewis knew that Ammelia's friend was filming the entire encounter, which apparently occurred while Marnie was away shooting the new series of Geordie Shore in Switzerland.
Digital Spy is opting not to directly link to the video footage of the incident that sparked Marnie's Twitter tirade - and has also reached out to Lewis's management team for comment.
Marnie seemed to make her first cryptic reference to the allegations even before they were published, tweeting earlier on Tuesday: "Don't make eternal life long promises with a deceiver They wont change. And u always end up getting your ♥broken."
However, there was nothing vague about her outrage later in the night: "Didn't really want the whole country to know but looks like that didn't last long . Happy Valentine's Day to me. U f**king scumbag.
"Thank you for all your support my angels I've read every single tweet and it literally means the world and has helped me through tonight ♥"
Lewis also cryptically tweeted hours before the news broke publicly, writing: "All good things..."
The pair have been on-and-off since they first hooked up while inside the Celebrity Big Brother house, where they made headlines for Lewis flashing his penis on national TV while in the shower.
It looked as if the relationship was over by New Year's Eve when Marnie tweeted that she was "starting the new year with a break up", but the two reconciled shortly thereafter.

Diversity at IP Australia
- Average rating for Diversity, based on 28 reviews9.0 / 10
Please provide further information on diversity with respect to women, ethnic minorities and LGBT. Please comment on issues such as recruitment, retention, promotion, child care, maternity leave, etc.
Looking around the office there is a wide range of people, ages, ethnicities, etc.
Experienced, Canberra
No issues that I'm aware of. The training specifically teaches toward being aware of differences and how to work with differences. The culture is the same.
Experienced, Sydney
Strong focus on establishing a diverse workplace, with a focus on recruitment as well as training.
Graduate, Sydney
All support seems to be of a high quality though I haven't needed any myself.
Graduate, Canberra
IP Australia has a very diverse workplace and I believe that it is a very accepting workplace of all cultures. As a woman, I have never felt discriminated against and I will have access to excellent maternity leave options when that time comes.
Midlevel, Canberra
Being APS there are a number of standards and initiatives based around diversity. IP Australia is very accommodating to individual needs.
Graduate, Canberra
Appears so far to be a very committed to a diverse workplace.
Midlevel, Melbourne
Diversity is highly encouraged and supported.
Graduate, Canberra
There are flexible leave and working arrangements in place for parents. There are dedicated workplace diversity officers who review diversity policy and outcomes as well as provide assistance to those who need it.
Graduate, Canberra
Recruitment processes seem to value the diversity of the employees. In my intake, there are employees ranging from age group 20-40 with vast range of experiences/qualifications as well as ethnic backgrounds. Managers/senior examiners are easy with you taking leave.
Experienced, Melbourne
Positive recruitment programs, flexible work arrangements.
Graduate, Canberra
Generally, pretty good. Easy to go part time if you want it, can work at home (but it does mean a bit of setting up).
Graduate, Melbourne
Very accommodating. I was employed before my maternity leave from my previous employer was up and I negotiated to have my start date later and they were very accommodating about that. I also know that management is always encouraging staff to act in a higher position, when deemed capable, to enhance opportunities. Also very high retention rate.
Midlevel, Canberra
What does your company do to attract applicants from less privileged backgrounds?
In my area (Patents) most people are required to have significant tertiary education. This would be quite difficult to obtain by people from less privileged backgrounds. People with a relevant diploma and industry experience can also get into my area however, and there are no qualifications required to become a Trade Mark Examiner.
Graduate, Sydney
The company does help with costs of moving and can provide loans for rental bonds, etc.
Graduate, Canberra
Similar policies to other government agencies.
Graduate, Canberra
IP Australia attracts people with technical (engineering/science) skills, regardless of how privileged their background is.

At his camp in the North, Stannis acquiesces to Melisandre's demands to burn Shireen alive as a sacrifice to the Lord of Light. This leads to Selyse committing suicide and half of Stannis's forces deserting with all of the horses. Melisandre flees for Castle Black. The remaining Baratheon forces march on Winterfell, but are defeated by the Boltons. After the battle, a wounded Stannis is killed by Brienne of Tarth.
In King's Landing, Lancel Lannister becomes a member of the "Sparrows". Following the wedding of Margaery Tyrell and Tommen Baratheon, Cersei Lannister authorizes the revival of the Faith Militant, the military wing of the Faith of the Seven. The Sparrows begin imposing their puritanical views upon King's Landing by ridding it of all "sins". They proceed to imprison Loras Tyrell, as well as Margaery and Cersei herself for committing various sins.
In Dorne, the Sand Snakes, the bastard daughters of Oberyn Martell, along with Ellaria Sand, seek vengeance for his death. After a message arrives in King's Landing from Dorne, Jaime Lannister and Bronn travel to Dorne to rescue Myrcella Baratheon. Oberyn's brother, Doran Martell, discovers that Ellaria had sent the message and allows Jaime and Myrcella to leave for King's Landing, provided Myrcella's betrothed Trystane Martell goes with them. En route to King's Landing, Myrcella dies, having been poisoned by Ellaria.
Arya Stark arrives in Braavos and begins training with the Faceless Men, guided by Jaqen H'ghar and the Waif. However, after Meryn Trant's arrival in Braavos, Arya steals a face from the House of Black and White and kills him. Upon her return to the temple, Arya is struck blind.
Episode 1 The Wars to Come
In a flashback, a witch tells a teenage Cersei that someone younger and more beautiful than herself will one day steal her accomplishments. In the present, Tywin is buried and Lancel returns, now a devoutly religious man and a member of the "Sparrows". In Pentos, a despondent Tyrion agrees to accompany Varys to Meereen to support Daenerys's claim on the Iron Throne. In Meereen, the insurgent "Sons of the Harpy" murder an Unsullied, forcing Daenerys to launch more restrictive measures without respecting the old traditions. Missandei gets suspicious when she realizes that the Unsullied visit brothels. Daenerys's locked-away dragons attack her when she checks on them. In the Vale, Baelish puts Robin in the care of House Royce and leaves with Sansa. At the Wall, Stannis seeks to enlist the Wildlings in his war against Roose. Jon Snow is unable to convince Rayder to accept Stannis's authority. The latter has Mance burned alive, but Jon Snow mercifully shoots him with an arrow to kill him quickly.
Episode 2 The House of Black and White
Arya arrives in Braavos and is accepted into the "House of Black and White" by H'ghar, who calls himself and his colleagues "no one". Jaime tells Cersei he is going to Dorne to sneak out Myrcella, who is promised to Prince Doran's son, and recruits Bronn to assist him; Podrick recognises Baelish and Sansa in a tavern; Brienne offers Sansa her protection, but is rebuffed. Baelish demands her to stay with them, but she refuses and escapes with Podrick. However, she decides to follow Sansa secretly. Stannis offers Snow legitimacy and lordship of Winterfell if he leaves the Night's Watch to help him, but Snow declines; Tarly nominates him as a candidate for Lord Commander, and he is elected by the casting vote of Aemon. Daenerys faces a riot after she decides to execute a former slave who murdered a captured member of the Sons of the Harpy before he could be tried. Drogon reappears to her, but leaves again.
Episode 3 High Sparrow
Margaery, newly wed to Tommen, manipulates him into planning to send Cersei to Casterly Rock. Baelish conducts Sansa to Winterfell to cement an alliance with Roose through her marriage to Ramsay, behind the Lannisters' back. Brienne decides to train Podrick. To adapt in the House of Black and White, Arya throws all her personal effects into the river except for Needle, which she hides in a pile of rocks. At Castle Black, Snow names Thorne First Ranger, but Slynt refuses to follow Snow's orders that he leave to rebuild the Greygard ruin. Snow executes Slynt himself. Lancel finds the High Septon in a compromising situation in a brothel, punishing him by forcing him to walk the streets completely nude. The High Septon complains to Cersei, who imprisons him instead. She meets the High Sparrow, approving the Sparrows' actions. Tyrion and Varys arrive in Volantis and visit a brothel, where the former is abducted by Mormont, intending to take him "to the queen".
Episode 4 Sons of the Harpy
Cersei provides weapons for the Sparrows, who arrest Loras. Margaery is enraged, but Tommen proves too weak to arrange his release. Melisandre tries to seduce Snow in an attempt to convince him to go to Winterfell with Stannis. In Winterfell, Baelish prepares to return to King's Landing. Before leaving, he tries to dispel Sansa's misgivings towards Ramsay, telling her that even if Stannis does not defeat the Boltons and rescue her, she can easily manipulate Ramsay. Bronn and Jaime land secretly in Dorne; they encounter and kill four horsemen. The Sand Snakes learn from a sea captain that Jaime has come to Dorne for Myrcella; Ellaria convinces the Sand Snakes to plan to avenge the death of Oberyn by abducting Myrcella before Jaime can intervene. Mormont plans to redeem himself to Daenerys by giving Tyrion to her as a prisoner. In Meereen, Loraq makes another appeal to her to reopen the fighting pits; the Sons of the Harpy ambush an Unsullied patrol inside the citadel; Grey Worm is critically wounded and Selmy is killed.
Episode 5 Kill the Boy
Brienne and Podrick arrive at an inn near Winterfell and send a message to Sansa, stating that they will help her if she needs it. Sansa finds out about Theon's presence. Ramsay forces him to apologize to her for his actions. At the Wall, Tormund accepts an alliance with the Night's Watch that will allow the Wildlings to settle south of the Wall. Jon Snow agrees to accompany him to meet the Wildlings in Hardhome. Stannis's army leaves for Winterfell, taking Selyse and Shireen with them. In Meereen, Grey Worm recuperates, developing a romantic relationship with Missandei. Daenerys feeds a Meereenese nobleman to dragons Viserion and Rhaegal and imprisons the others. She later agrees to reopen the fighting pits and decides to marry Loraq to facilitate peace. At sea, Tyrion and Mormont sail through Valyria, seeing Drogon flying by, and are attacked by a group of stone men. They manage to escape, but Mormont is infected with greyscale.
Episode 6 Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
H'ghar takes Arya to a chamber with the faces of all the people that have died in the House of Black and White. Jaime and Bronn reach the Water Gardens, where they find Myrcella and are attacked by the Sand Snakes. The fight is broken up by Dornish guards, who arrest everyone. Mormont and Tyrion run into slavers, whom Tyrion manages to convince to take them to the fighting pits of Meereen. Baelish informs Cersei of Roose's plan to marry Sansa to Ramsay, and convinces her to allow him to lead the knights of the Vale to Winterfell to defeat the winning party of the conflict between Roose and Stannis, being named Warden of the North in return. Olenna arrives in King's Landing and warns Cersei that the imprisonment of Loras has put their alliance in peril. At Loras' inquest, Loras and Margaery both deny his homosexuality. The male prostitute Olyvar contradicts their testimony, and she is arrested for lying to the gods. In Winterfell, Sansa is married to Ramsay, who rapes her in front of a horrified Theon.
Episode 7 The Gift
Snow leaves for Hardhome with Tormund and some rangers. Aemon dies shortly after. Gilly is attacked by two Watchmen. Tarly intervenes and is overpowered until Ghost arrives and forces the duo to leave. Tarly and Gilly consummate their romantic relationship. Sansa asks Theon to help her escape Winterfell, but he instead informs Ramsay, who flays the woman working for Brienne. At Stannis' army's camp, Melisandre suggests sacrificing Shireen, which he refuses. Mormont and Tyrion are sold to slaver Qaggaz. The two are brought to a local fighting pit that Daenerys and her consort happen to be visiting in preparation for the coming games at Daznak's pit. Mormont defeats the other slaves and reveals his identity to her, and that he brought Tyrion as a "gift" for her. In Dorne, Myrcella tells Jaime that she wants to marry Trystane, Doran's son. Olenna's demand for Loras and Margaery's release is declined by the High Sparrow. Later, the High Sparrow arrests Cersei due to her former incestuous relationship with Lancel.
Episode 8 Hardhome
Cersei learns that her uncle Kevan is appointed as the Hand. She is left thirsty in order to force her to confess, which she does not. Arya assumes the identity of Lana, an oyster merchant. H'ghar tasks her to study a man who sells marine insurance, but has defrauded benefactors. She is to learn everything about the insurer, and then poison him. Theon tells Sansa that he faked the deaths of Brandon and Rickon. Ramsay suggests to Roose that they move on Stannis and asks for twenty skilled men. In Meereen, Tyrion convinces Daenerys to spare Mormont's life and she exiles him again. Mormont goes back to Yezzan and asks permission to fight in the pits. Daenerys accepts Tyrion into her council. Arriving in Hardhome, Snow and Tormund convince about five thousand wildlings to join them before Hardhome is attacked by an army of wights. Snow kills a White Walker with his Valyrian-steel sword. As he, Tormund and the other survivors sail away, they witness the Night's King reanimating the deceased wildlings as wights.
Episode 9 The Dance of Dragons
During a snowstorm, Stannis' camp is sabotaged when Ramsay's party destroys the camp's siege equipment and food stores, while inflicting heavy losses on the army's horses. Sending Davos to the Wall to ask for supplies, Stannis reluctantly allows Melisandre to sacrifice Shireen, burning her alive at the stake, despite her and Selyse's objections. Snow and the others return to the Wall, allowing the wildlings to pass South. In Dorne, Doran permits Jaime and Bronn to return to King's Landing with Myrcella, provided Trystane accompany them and serve on the small council in Oberyn's stead. The former also pardons Sand and her daughters. In Braavos, Arya spots Trant accompanying Mace, Margaery's father and the Master of Coin. In Meereen, the fights at Daznak's pit begin, and Daenerys is stunned to see Mormont amongst the combatants. His triumph is interrupted by a fierce attack by the Sons of the Harpy, who quickly surround Daenerys and her supporters, including Mormont. Just as all hope seems lost, Drogon arrives, and she mounts it and flies away from the pit, her followers watching in awe.
Episode 10 Mother's Mercy
Shireen's sacrifice leads to Selyse hanging herself and half of Stannis' forces deserting him. After Melisandre flees to Castle Black, Stannis is defeated by the Boltons and consequently killed by Brienne. Sansa attempts to escape, but is confronted by Myranda, whom Theon kills, and the duo escape Winterfell together. Cersei confesses her former relationship with Lancel and is forced to face atonement by walking the streets fully naked. Upon reaching the Red Keep, Qyburn introduces a new member of the Kingsguard with complete loyalty. Jaime, Myrcella, Bronn and Trystane sail from Dorne. Myrcella dies of poison by Sand on the ship. Arya infiltrates a brothel and kills Trant. She is blinded for violating the terms of the Faceless Men. Varys arrives in Meereen to rule the city with Tyrion, Grey Worm and Missandei, while Naharis and Mormont leave to search for Daenerys, who, far away, is found by a large group of the Dothraki. Tarly, Gilly and her child leave for Oldtown for the former to become a Maester. Snow is stabbed several times by mutineers, including Thorne and Olly.

Kane Webb was appointed as the Executive Director of the Department in 2015 by Governor Asa Hutchinson. As executive director Webb oversees all development and operations of the State Parks, grants and technical assistance to communities for parks, the promotion of the state through the Tourism Division and the fight against litter with the Keep Arkansas Beautiful Commission. A native Arkansan, Webb began his career as a journalist after graduating from the University of Missouri in 1986. He has worked for the old Arkansas Democrat, the old Arkansas Gazette and the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, where he held several posts and won many state, regional and national awards.
1. What role does the concept of place play in the tourism industry?
An enormous role. And it's only increasing as we come to better understand what travelers are looking for – and that's a unique, local experience. The key word there is "experience," which is largely determined by quality of and sense of place.
2. Describe the role of the Arkansas Department of Tourism and how does that role value up the concept of placemaking?
Our tourism division is charged with promoting and marketing Arkansas and enhancing our state's image around the country and the world. Essential in making that happen is properly marketing Arkansas as an only-find-it-here place.
3. What is Arkansas' biggest challenge for competing nationally for positive attention from tourists?
Our biggest challenge is one of our oldest challenges, and that's getting the word out so that folks who have never been to Arkansas come experience Arkansas. Once they do that, inevitably they want to come back and often fall in love with our state. I can't count how many times I've used the phrase, "if we can get them here, they'll love it." And they do. As challenges go, this is a good problem to have, because it's not a product problem, it's an awareness problem. And we are working on that.
4. What is the greatest opportunity for Arkansas communities looking to establish a unique story?
Our timing could not be better. Circling back to what travelers are looking for – which is the unique story and experience. Every Arkansas community has its own unique story and its own unique vision. Don't be afraid to play on that, market that. An ideal example of a small town that is cashing in on a unique part of its history and culture is Walnut Ridge, which has capitalized on The Beatles landing there decades ago.
5. What role can municipalities play in strengthening Arkansas's brand?
By developing their own story and telling that story municipalities naturally strengthen the Arkansas brand as a place that is just plain different – and I mean that in the best possible way.

stopping the click, then losing the dust cap on the subsequent outing, I went to get replacement pedals from the local bike shop on Saturday. I fitted them on Sunday morning, before embarking on my long weekend ride.
It turned out to be much easier to replace the whole pedal than to make adjustments. So now the bike is blinged up with shiny new pedals.
It's not a very big bike shop, but they still had a wider range of pedals than I expected. The assistant said that there wasn't much to chose between them, and I could see no rational way of making a decision, so in the end I followed much the same principle as chosing a bottle of plonk. I picked something at random from the bottom half of the price range, avoiding the cheapest.
Perhaps I should have been a bit more scientific, but they seem robust, they were easy enough to fit, they go round and round like they are supposed to, and there were no ill-effects after a long ride. So I guess they do the job.

Gandolfi is a British manufacturer who have made large format cameras in the traditional style using wood and brass for many years. Recently they have begun making more modern versions, still large format but using newer materials and techniques, although the traditional cameras are still made as well. They are one of the oldest camera makers still in existence.
|British companies
|Adams & Co. | Agilux | APeM | Artima | Barnet Ensign | Beck | Billcliff | Boots | British Ferrotype | Butcher | Cooke | Corfield | Coronet | Dallmeyer | Dixons | Dollond | Elliott | Gandolfi | Gnome | G.

Gandolfi was founded by Louis Gandolfi in 1885. In 1928 he handed over the company to his sons, Arthur, Frederick and Thomas, who continued to run the company in the traditional way. They never employed more than a few staff, and were a small craftsman-type operation. They made many cameras as one-offs, to individual requirements. The last Gandolfi brother, Arthur, died in 1993. The Gandolfi company was sold a few years previously, when the brothers retired, but still continues to make cameras, both the traditional mahogany and brass models and the new Variant models.

Physicians More Appropriately Prescribe Treatment after Rapid Flu and RSV Testing of Pediatric Patients
QuickVue(R) Influenza and RSV Tests by Quidel Used in Study During
2005-06 Season
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 8, 2007--Quidel Corporation (NASDAQ:QDEL), a leading provider of rapid point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tests, announced today that a large study released during the poster sessions at the Infectious Diseases Society of America 45th Annual Meeting (October 5, San Diego) supported rapid diagnostic testing for influenza and RSV in order to prescribe appropriate treatment for pediatric patients with influenza-like illnesses (ILI).
The study, entitled "Benefits of Rapid Influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus Testing in Pediatric Clinic Patients," was conducted by Dr. Aleta Bonner, MD, DVM, assistant clinical professor, emergency medicine, Texas A&M University Health Science Center, College of Medicine and UTMB, Dept. of Pediatrics, and her colleagues during the winter of 2005-2006. A total of 876 ILI pediatric patients who were tested for influenza and RSV using the QuickVue brand tests were enrolled in the study. The physicians participating in the study were divided into two groups: one group was the physician-aware group (they received the results of the rapid test before prescribing treatment); and the other was the physician- unaware group. The physician-aware group, who had patients who tested flu positive and RSV negative, was four times more likely to prescribe antiviral treatment for children with influenza than were the physicians in the unaware group (53% vs. 12.2% (P less than 0.0001))(1). In addition, the physician-aware group was significantly less likely (p less than 0.006) to prescribe antibiotics for children with influenza than were the physicians in the unaware group. Patients who tested flu negative, but RSV positive were also significantly less likely to receive antibiotics (p less than 0.003).
"With the concern over appropriate treatment of influenza and the inappropriate use of antibiotics, this study is another example of how the deployment of a rapid test for flu can be beneficial to the patient and the healthcare facility," said Caren Mason, president and CEO of Quidel. "Our efforts to raise awareness of this important tool to guide appropriate treatment are ongoing through clinical studies, medical education and other efforts which we label QVB(TM) (Quidel Value Build)."
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), influenza is responsible for about 36,000 deaths and more than 200,000 hospitalizations in the U.S. each year.

Enjoy the following humorous short story, intended as an Xmas gift from me to you. I'll warn you, though--you may never look at a television commercial the same way again!
Seymour Schmidt made his way through the portfolio slowly and thoughtfully, occasionally lifting out a page and staring at it intently.

Just like we did with our previous one paragraph short story series, I wanted to get all of the entries in our latest one paragraph short story contest in one posting, this one. If you recall, the theme was fanciful videogame back stories and one lucky participant was eligible for a prize. While some of the Armchair Arcade staff participated, we were naturally not eligible for the contest. After the votes were counted, Craig A. Meyer's Donkey Kong took the prize and his story was featured in Episode 4 of our Armchair Arcade Radio podcast. Now here for your convenient reading pleasure are all eight entries in the reverse order they were submitted:
Justin sat in the darkest corner of the darkest bar in the space station, shrunk into the shadows like a wet rat in a lightning storm. He was wary for a reason. If anyone guessed who he was or his purpose, his presence here would end his past. He needed answers. He needed courage. But he was scared as hell and fresh out of pencils.

Allowing the utility to conduct aerial inspections of its facilities, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) Section 333 approval for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) operations.
Through the exemption, SDG&E can operate UAS to inspect its electric and gas facilities, including emergency-response damage assessments throughout its service territory. SDG&E says it is the second utility in the nation to be granted the Section 333 approval.
According to the exemption grant, the aircraft is an InstantEye Mk-2 Gen2. Measuring 16 inches in diameter and weighing less than a pound, the small devices use a camera to inspect utility equipment and relay live images back to the controller. The UAS can access infrastructure that is difficult to reach for utility crews and alert them if repairs are needed.
John Sowers, SDG&E's vice president of electric distribution operations, says, "The new UAS technology will enable us to improve response times to emergency situations, inspect our electric and gas facilities in remote areas that are otherwise difficult to access, reduce the use of manned helicopters, enhance overall employee and public safety, and locate the cause of power outages faster."
Last year, SDG&E was granted approval by the FAA to fly a small UAS for research, development and flight crew training in a sparsely populated airspace in eastern San Diego County. Through research and development, SDG&E began testing small UAS in day-to-day operations to improve inspections of electric lines.
SDG&E inspects more than 26,000 miles of transmission and distribution power lines. It provides energy service to 3.4 million consumers through 1.4 million electric meters and 868,000 natural gas meters in San Diego and southern Orange counties.
A video of the UAS tests can be found here.

The best lessons Dad taught them: Ashley Salonga
From a daddy's girl who always receives words of encouragement to a son who received "tough love" as a form of discipline. Our Ballet Manila artists have varied stories about how their fathers have raised them, but the goal seems to be the same – so that they'd grow up to be responsible and strong enough to go after their dreams. To celebrate Father's Day, our dancers share the best lessons they've learned from the man they call Dad, Daddy, Papa or Tatay and how he continues to inspire them.
Ashley Salonga, trainee

Hit-or-miss hauls end another unpredictable Florida stone crab season
"We knew guys who were fishing 500 traps and would catch less than six or seven pounds," Gandy said. "Lots of (crabbers) just didn't do it this year." Meanwhile, those crabbing to the north, from around New Port Richey to the panhandle, saw some giant hauls, especially early in the season, which started in October. The director of one commercial fishing association described Florida's season overall as "pretty disastrous," unless you were between Hudson and Crystal River where "they were breaking records."

Fake lobster-tag case leads to arrests in Florida Keys
Florida fisheries investigators have made at least two arrests following a long inquiry into the sale of counterfeit lobster trap tags required by law for commercial anglers to do business in the state. The suspected ringleader is a Palmetto Bay woman who is the registered agent of more than 50 active and inactive commercial fishing operations in Florida. She was arrested Monday in the Florida Keys on racketeering and fraud charges. Elena P. Reyes, 67, is being held in Monroe County jail on a total bond of $892,500. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission investigators also arrested Michael Enrique Sanchez,

Nearly 300 Sea Turtles Dead as Red Tide Plagues Southwest Florida
Hundreds of sea turtles have washed up dead along the southwest Florida coast as an ongoing red tide event persists in the waters. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has logged 287 sea turtle deaths since the virulent algal bloom started in October, the Associated Press reported. That figure is twice the average number of turtle deaths in those waters each year, Allen Foley of the commission's Fish and Wildlife Research Institute told the AP on Thursday. Foley explained that the turtles get sick and die when their food gets contaminated by toxic bloom. >click to read<19:09
Environmental Citations Issued For Boat Captain During NOAA Environmental Research Cruise
The captain of a charter boat carrying government scientists on an environmental research cruise near the Keys has been cited for violating environmental regulations. The Ultimate Getaway is a 100-foot charter boat that takes people to the remote Tortugas, west of Key West, for diving and spearfishing trips. This month, it was chartered by the federal government for the Coral Reef Monitoring Program research cruise, which surveys reef and fish in Florida every other year. The FWC patrol saw the Ultimate Getaway at anchor inside the reserve. When they came alongside, they saw fishing poles and gear on the vessel's stern, according to the FWC report. >click to read<11:19

Keys lobstermen catch a break, traps get a $1 per-trap tag waiver
In the wake of Hurricane Irma, every dollar saved helps, say Florida Keys commercial fishermen. Untold thousands of spiny-lobster traps, the primary gear in the most economically significant Keys seafood harvest, disappeared or were destroyed by the Category 4 storm in September. The statewide lobster industry based in the Keys will get a bit of a break in the 2018 season that opens in August. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at its December meeting agreed to waive for one season the annual $1 per-trap tag fee for the allowed 473,500 traps in the lobster fishery. >click here to read< 13:44

Where have the stone crabs gone? Shortage of Florida delicacy drives up prices
Less than halfway through Florida's lucrative stone crab season, traps are drying up, dealing another blow to a fishing industry still recovering from a beating delivered by a brutal Hurricane Irma. "Everybody's feeling it," said Walter Flores, owner of the Golden Rule Seafood in Palmetto Bay, which has been selling and serving stone crabs since 1943. Normally Flores starts taking orders for holiday crabs about now. But this year, he said, it's first come, first serve. "We have them," he said, "but you have to offer more money to get them. It's almost a bidding war." click here to read the story 09:00
Florida Keys seafood industry begins gear recovery after Hurricane Irma
To find the lobster, Florida Keys commercial fishers must first track down gear scattered or destroyed by Hurricane Irma. "Just like on shore, the underwater has patterns of destruction," Bill Kelly, executive director of the Florida Keys Commercial Fishermen's Association, said Thursday. "Some areas have suffered major devastation, really hard hit," he said. "Other areas are not so bad."

Trap fishermen, industry suffers record loses from Irma
Conch Key commercial fisherman Gary Nichols scoured the Atlantic Ocean for seven hours on Monday and only found 15 of his 5,000 spiny lobster traps. Fellow Conch Key fishermen Jeff Kramer was only able to locate a handful of his 2,000 traps he had placed in the Atlantic. Both are hoping that ones in the Gulf of Mexico fared better. Nichols' daughter Kelly Cordova Nichols was able to locate 160 of the family's 1,500 traps in the bay. Nichols and his daughter are also working with two boats that were damaged by Hurricane Irma and are "not properly operating." "I feel a little bit defeated," Nichols said.

Florida wildlife officials hope to ban shark fin imports
Florida wildlife officials want to look at banning the importation of shark fins through the state's ports. But without support from Gov. Rick Scott's office, they are not getting behind a federal proposal to prohibit possession of shark fins. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Executive Director Nick Wiley directed staff, after hearing from members of the commission and the public Monday, to look into what the agency can do about the importation of shark fins and determine what "we need to be pushing on that if we can." With fins considered a delicacy in parts of Asia, "finning" is an illegal practice in Florida and the U.S. It involves cutting off shark fins at sea and then discarding the sharks. Commissioner Robert Spottswood was among those who questioned why the state allows the importation of shark fins separate from the rest of shark bodies. click here to read the story 13:28
Shark fins seized from shrimp boat off Key West
Florida wildlife officers made a grisly discovery aboard a Key West shrimp boat this week: dozens of pairs of dismembered shark fins. The boat was discovered about 20 miles north of the island Wednesday night, an indication illegal finning still occurs in Florida waters despite being banned more than 16 years ago. Buying and selling fins remains legal in most states, fueling a practice that targets some of the world's biggest and longest-lived sharks, which are also among the planet's oldest species. The boat was stopped by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers, who alerted the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries Service. FWC referred questions to NOAA, who declined to release details, saying it was too soon in the investigation. click here to read the story 07:49
Bully-net lobster fishermen can get new commercial status
A new Florida commercial lobster license for bully-netters will come with a "Respectful Bully Netting" outreach campaign. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission members on Feb. 8 approved creation of a new bully-net endorsement for people who have a commercial endorsement for lobster."Conflicts between waterfront homeowners and bully-netters" was cited as one concern about expanding the commercial lobster industry to include the netting technique. The increased use of bully nets for commercial lobstering "allows opportunities for young or new fishers and preserves the culture of participation in the Keys commercial lobster fishery".

Will Florida allow goliath grouper fishing?
State wildlife officials will discuss the fish's fate when the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) meets Feb. 8-10 in Crystal River. There is no specific proposal yet to allow the goliath's harvest. At Wednesday's meeting, FWC staff will provide the commission a review of the biology and recently-completed study of the fish's population. "This is a review and discussion on the history, biology and recent stock assessment," Amanda Nalley, an FWC spokeswoman said by email. "FWC will be asking the Commission whether or not staff should pursue gathering further public input on potential management changes, including the possibility of allowing some kind of limited harvest."

New rules for commercial spiny lobster bully-netting get final vote
If given final approval by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, bully-netting would become a more regulated sector within the state season on spiny lobster but would remain open to new commercial fishers. The bully-netting issue now is included on the consent agenda for the FWC's Feb. 8 and 9 meeting in Crystal River, following preliminary approval at a November meeting.The eight-month lobster season runs Aug. 6 through March 31. No new permits, if approved, would be issued for the season now under way. "Bully-netting would stay open-access, meaning it's not limited just to people doing it now," said Amanda Nalley, spokeswoman for FWC's Marine Fisheries office. The night-fishing technique, using a spotlight and long-handled net to catch lobster on the bottom, "has a history of allowing people to enter the fishery at a low cost, and the commission wants to keep that," Read the story here 11:11
81 False killer whales die off South Florida coast
81 false killer whales have died after stranding themselves off the South Florida coast. NOAA announced the grim news on Monday afternoon. NOAA initially reported that 95 false killer whales were stranded in South Florida. Then on Monday afternoon, NOAA Fish Southeast tweeted that 81 whales had died and also said the whales were at a remote location off of Hog Key in the Everglades. One whale was seen alive on Monday and 13 others are unaccounted for, NOAA Fish Southeast said on Twitter on Monday afternoon. The National Park Service has closed the area around the whale stranding location. The National Park Service is asking that aircraft not fly over the area and that boats stay away from the area.

Marathon fisherman pinched for untagged lobster traps, bad bouy charges
A Marathon commercial fisherman faces more than 130 conservation counts after being charged with fishing illegal lobster traps. Franklin Garcia Jimenez, 40, was arrested before dawn Tuesday as part of a trap-tag case filed by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers. Garcia is charged with "fishing more than 50 working, untagged traps," agency information Officer Bobby Dube said. FWC Investigator Danielle Munkelt and Officer Adam Garrison also filed counts accusing Garcia of using buoys that were painted with the wrong colors and buoys that do not meet legal size requirements. All of the 136 counts are misdemeanors. Garcia posted a $68,000 bond and was released from the Monroe County jail Thursday. Read the rest here 20:45
Boat captain arrested in lobster case
A Marathon commercial fisherman wanted by state wildlife officers for allegedly fishing for lobster with untagged traps turned himself in Thursday after returning from Cuba. Ricardo Hernandez, 52, faces 71 misdemeanor conservation violations. Earlier this month, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers issued arrest warrants for Hernandez and his mates after surveilling their fishing boat for two months, said FWC Officer Bobby Dube. When the warrants were issued, FWC officers discovered he was in Cuba. Mate Juan Miguel Exposito-Carralero, 46, was also charged with 71 misdemeanor counts. He was arrested last week. Hernandez returned from Cuba recently and turned himself in at the jail, said FWC Capt. David Dipre. The case marks a shift in how some poachers are reacting to the FWC as well as the Florida Keys Commercial Fishing Association's efforts to quelch trap robbing — they moved to fishing with untagged traps.

Wanted fisherman fled to Cuba
A Marathon trap fisherman accused of using dozens of untagged traps apparently fled to Cuba following a two-month investigation into illegal lobster fishing, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the State Attorney's Office. FWC officers served a warrant on Nov. 4 after surveilling the vessel, said FWC officer Bobby Dube. In all, 19 untagged traps were fished, according to the FWC. Some traps were also improperly numbered, records state. A mate aboard the vessel — Juan Miguel Exposito-Carralero, 46 — was charged with 71 misdemeanor counts of fishing illegal traps when FWC officers converged on the vessel after it was returning to port, said Assistant State Attorney Christina Cory. The captain that the FWC had been targeting, Ricardo Hernandez, 52, was not on the vessel at the time and happened to be in Cuba, Dube said. It does not appear he fled, but he left before the warrant was served, Cory added. The case marks a shift in how some poachers are reacting to the FWC as well as the Florida Keys Commercial Fishing Association's efforts to quelch trap robbing, said the latter association's executive director Bill Kelly.

Apalachicola Bay commercial oyster bag limit lowered to 3 – Oyster reefs 'in worse shape'
The commercial bag limit for oysters in Apalachicola Bay will be lowered to three bags per harvester during the winter season, Sept. 1 through May 31. Several other oyster conservation measures implemented previously will also continue this winter season. These changes are effective in all of Apalachicola Bay, including all waters of Indian Lagoon in Gulf County. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) began implementing conservation measures in the fall of 2014 in an effort to help the Apalachicola Bay oyster population recover from the effects of low river flow. Apalachicola Bay oyster populations have significantly declined in recent years due to lack of sufficient fresh water flows in the Apalachicola River. Read the post here Oyster reefs 'in worse shape' – "We're in worse shape. We've got to have river flow, that's the first thing." None of the SMARRT leadership seated at the front table disputed Estes' findings. "I couldn't get 100 legal oysters from there, and I moved around," said SMARRT chair Shannon Hartsfield, referring to Dry Bar North and Green Point, reefs in the western portion of the bay, which in three separate surveys this summer yielded no more than 15 bags per acre to FWC surveyors.

Fishermen, scientists split on closures of triggerfish, amberjack
On any given day, charter boat captain Jeff Lassiter and his customers will catch dozens of gray triggerfish. Then they'll toss them back in the water. "They're dang near a nuisance," But just two weeks before the scheduled Aug. 1 reopening date, national and state fishing officials changed their minds. Because of overfishing, NOAA Fisheries decided not to reopen triggerfish in federal waters this year, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) elected to follow suit. Officials said anglers already had met the allowable catch quota for the year, and to keep going would jeopardize the overall sustainability of the stock. NOAA also opted to not reopen amberjack for the same reasons, which means head boats and charter boat captains, which all have federal permits, will not be able to take customers out to fish for either species.

Lobster poacher jumps into the water, challenges game wardens to come and get him. They waited!
One defendant in a lobster-poaching case Saturday reportedly threw his cell phone into the ocean at Bahia Honda, jumped into the ocean and challenged state officers "to come in the water and get him." A second man booked in the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission case ran from officers and hid for three hours before trying to return to his truck. He found that FWC Officer Adam Garrison was willing to outwait him. Miami residents Carlos M. Duran-Cantillo, 37, and Karel Cantillo-Martinez, 38, face multiple conservation counts after FWC officers charged them with possession of eight , all taken in a closed season. Five of the tails were undersized. Both also were charged with resisting arrest without violence and littering. Read the rest here 11:30
Seminar in Marathon Fla. looks at spiny lobster research
Some top experts on spiny lobster will meet Wednesday in Marathon to discuss the latest research on the crustacean, which is the top-grossing marine species in the Florida Keys generating $70 million a year to the local economy. The Keys waters account for nearly 90 percent of the spiny lobster harvest in the United States. A robust Asian market and a steady catch has made spiny lobster fishery the most lucrative in the Keys. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is hosting the all-day seminar Wednesday as a way to put out the latest research on spiny lobster to the local commercial fishermen and to the public, FWC lobster biologist Tom Matthews said. Bill Kelly, the executive director of the Florida Keys Commercial Fishermen's Association, said there is a need for new science on the fishery, as the current science used to make regulations is "outdated and goes back to the 1990s."

Lobster-trap report draws ire from Florida Keys commercial lobster fishermen
Florida Keys commercial lobster fishermen bristled at a report on traps in protected marine areas being presented at this week's South Atlantic Fishery Management Council meeting. The report on small no-trapping areas created to safeguard spots with branching elkhorn or staghorn corals is scheduled for a Spiny Lobster Committee meeting at 9:30 a.m. Thursday in Cocoa Beach. "We worked [with fishery regulators] to develop these 60 coral protection areas," said Ernie Piton, president of the Florida Keys Commercial Fishermen's Association. "We even proposed more than they asked for." Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission surveys at selected coral protection zones in 2014 and 2015 logged traps and parts of traps spotted in the zones, most of which are unmarked by warning buoys and do not appear on most nautical charts. "Some of the older gentlemen in our industry have been doing this 30 or 40 years and they don't use GPS; they go by sight," Piton said. Read the rest here 09:36

Back to Region III
The U.S. Department of Labors Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Constructors Association of Western Pennsylvania (CAWP) hereby renew their Alliance signed December 19, 2005 and renewed December 14, 2007. This renewal agreement fully incorporates all of the terms of the December 19, 2005, which are continuing in nature.
OSHA and the Constructors Association of Western Pennsylvania continue to recognize the value of maintaining a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful workplaces. OSHA and the Constructors Association of Western Pennsylvania remain committed to cooperative and proactive efforts to advance workplace safety and health especially by continuing to provide the Constructors Association of Western Pennsylvania members and others with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect the health and safety of workers. Through the Alliance, the organizations will continue to address the various hazards associated with the heavy and highway construction industry. In renewing this Alliance, OSHA and Constructors Association of Western Pennsylvania recognize that OSHAs State Plan and On-site Consultation Project partners are an integral part of the OSHA national effort.
OSHAs Alliances provide parties an opportunity to participate in a voluntary cooperative relationship with OSHA for purposes such as training and education, outreach and communication, and promoting a national dialogue on workplace safety and health. These Alliances have proved to be valuable tools for both OSHA and its Alliance participants. By entering into an Alliance with a party, OSHA is not endorsing or promoting, nor does it intend to endorse or promote, any of that partys products or services.
An implementation team made up of representatives of each organization will continue to meet to develop a plan of action, determine working procedures, and identify the roles and responsibilities of the participants. In addition, they will meet at least three times per year to track and share information on activities and results in achieving the goals of the Alliance. OSHA team members will include representatives of the Pittsburgh Area OSHA Office that is a signatory to the Alliance agreement and any other appropriate offices. OSHA will encourage State Plan States and OSHA On-site Consultation Projects participation on the team.
This agreement will remain in effect for two years. Either signatory may terminate it for any reason at any time, provided they give 30 days written notice. This agreement may be modified at any time with the written concurrence of both signatories.
