"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

The singing gondolier then let rip with another of his favorite romantic arias, \"Quanto e Bella,\" also from Donizetti's \"Elixir of Love.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My boyfriend and I share a toast, and a kiss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And that’s why I like my job,\" DiBartolo exclaimed. \"I make the people kiss!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But sometimes DiBartolo’s customers are deaf to the tenor’s sensual serenade. Like the couple he ferried around recently who spent the whole ride glued to their cellphones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They just had their faces buried,\" DiBartolo recalled. \"I sang them a few songs and at one point they looked up and said, 'Nice singing.'

In 1888, miners built a railroad that connected the mines to coaling stations on the flat land. There were three of these loading stops: Coaling Station A, B and C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, a little town sprouted around the first stop. Bill explains that Coaling Station A became the name of the town, and then they shortened it. “They just called it Coaling-A, instead of calling it Coaling Station A.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/02/01/before-and-after-measuring-californias-thin-mountain-snowpack/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Where'd all the snow go?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe frameborder=\"0\" class=\"juxtapose\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https://cdn.knightlab.com/libs/juxtapose/latest/embed/index.html?uid=406de6be-058b-11e8-b263-0edaf8f81e27\" scrolling=\"yes\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a Minnesota guy, I love snow.

I'm talking about the state's snowpack, which is just 27 percent of the average for this time of year, according to the California Department of Water Resources. KQED resident snowman Dan Brekke breaks it down:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Why any of this matters: The mountain snowpack is often called California’s “frozen reservoir.” As a rule of thumb, water mavens say that the mountain snowpack supplies nearly one-third of California’s water needs. So, a meager snowpack means meager spring runoff into reservoirs — and perhaps, down the road, less water to distribute to farms and cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DWR and other analysts are quick to point out that last year’s historic wet season filled the state’s reservoirs — most of which are storing more water than they typically would at this time of year.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So it might not be as bad as it sounds, but it's definitely not good.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch1>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2018/01/08/listen-1200-years-of-earths-climate-transformed-into-sound/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Before you go...\u003c/a>\u003c/h1>\n\u003cp>A Stanford researcher has created a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2018/01/08/listen-1200-years-of-earths-climate-transformed-into-sound/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">piece of music\u003c/a> out of climate data from the past 1,200 years (collected by Berkeley researchers).

The response is evolutionary: The extra energy fuels our ability to flee or do combat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An occasional spike in stress hormones isn’t harmful, Spiegel says, but if a victim starts living in a chronic state of high alert, it can be toxic to the nervous system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The office becomes a place you can’t assume your safety and go about your work; instead you’re also worrying about the potential for psychological or physical assault,” Spiegel says. “This chronic activation of the nervous system can lead to a kind of burnout, where your body is overreacting much of the time, and it exhausts you.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003ch3>5. \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/01/26/new-museum-in-berkeley-worships-the-art-of-smell/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">No, I don't want sperm whale poop in my perfume\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11644754\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AftelArchiveMain.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11644754\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AftelArchiveMain-800x555.jpg\" alt=\"The Aftel Archive of Curious Scents is a museum in Berkeley dedicated to natural perfumes.\" width=\"800\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AftelArchiveMain-800x555.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AftelArchiveMain-160x111.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AftelArchiveMain-1020x708.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AftelArchiveMain.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AftelArchiveMain-1180x819.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AftelArchiveMain-960x667.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AftelArchiveMain-240x167.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AftelArchiveMain-375x260.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/AftelArchiveMain-520x361.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Aftel Archive of Curious Scents is a museum in Berkeley dedicated to natural perfumes. \u003ccite>(Bianca Taylor/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Apparently, one of the most sought after ingredients for perfumes across cultures and civilizations is something called ambergris, which is effectively sperm whale poop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How do I know this?

You can offset or reduce conflict by checking in with the other person, summarizing what you think you understand about their perspective, and then asking if you got it right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11644656\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11644656\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RS29035_IMG_0836-2.jpg\" alt=\"Four generations of Elisabeth Seaman's family, three of which survived the Holocaust, pose for a photo in 1959. \" width=\"640\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RS29035_IMG_0836-2.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RS29035_IMG_0836-2-160x103.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RS29035_IMG_0836-2-240x155.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RS29035_IMG_0836-2-375x242.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RS29035_IMG_0836-2-520x336.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Four generations of Elisabeth Seaman's family, three of which survived the Holocaust, pose for a photo in 1959. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Elisabeth Seaman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The other big challenge: taking responsibility when our actions harm others, starting with a genuine apology.
