Good morning, Oakland.

Cal/OSHA is urging employers across the state to take steps to prevent heat illnesses as the Bay Area faces record warmth this week; guidelines require water, shade and rest breaks for indoor workers when temperatures hit 82° (outdoor workers need fresh water, shade and cool-down breaks at 80°).

Saturday night, the Oakland Roots opened their season with a 2-1 win at the Coliseum while Bay Area rapper E-40 (also a co-owner) delivered a halftime show that energized 14,500 fans and renewed local pride.
