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.",

"content": "\u003cp>The company \u003ca href=\"https://www.calyxt.com/\">Calyxt\u003c/a>, just outside St. Paul, Minn., wanted to make a new kind of soybean, with oil that's a little healthier — more like olive oil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As it happens, some wild relatives of soybeans already produce seeds with such \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.calyxt.com/products/high-oleic-soybean/\">high oleic\u003c/a>\" oil — high in monounsaturated fat. It's because a few of their genes have particular mutations, making them slightly different from the typical soybeans that farmers grow. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.calyxt.com/about-us/management-team/\">Manoj Sahoo\u003c/a>, the company's chief commercial officer, says this led to an obvious question: \"Can we have those same mutations in the modern varieties which are grown by our farmers?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company turned to a gene-editing technique, TALEN, that is similar to a more famous one called CRISPR. Sahoo describes it as a genetic scissors that can go in and cut the soybean plant's DNA very precisely. \"It does the cut, and then it comes out. There is no foreign material or foreign genes in the soybean,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a vital point. If you take genes from another kind of plant, or bacterium, and insert them into a crop like soybeans, the result is considered a genetically modified organism. You need government approval to sell a new GMO. Getting it can take years, and millions of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you just take a snippet out of a gene without inserting anything new, though, the product falls into a gray area. The European Union has decided that it's still a GMO. The U.S., however, says it's not. In fact, you may not need explicit government approval to sell that product.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Companies and even university researchers can ask the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration to examine their new products, and the results of these voluntary \"consultations\" are public. The USDA has a \u003ca href=\"https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/biotechnology/am-i-regulated/regulated_article_letters_of_inquiry/regulated_article_letters_of_inquiry\">website\u003c/a>, for example, where one can browse dozens of agency responses to such inquiries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calyxt went through this voluntary process with both the USDA and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.fda.gov/downloads/Food/IngredientsPackagingLabeling/GEPlants/Submissions/ucm632246.pdf\">FDA\u003c/a>, and both agencies gave the company's high-oleic soybean a green light.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think it is important to build consumer trust, and also [for] food safety, which is critical, to go through that oversight process,\" Sahoo says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, there's a gene-editing company called Cibus, in San Diego, that never asked the USDA or the FDA to formally approve its new line of canola.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adding to the confusion is the fact that this canola was created using an older method of creating genetic mutations. The company induced lots of random mutations in canola plants by multiplying them in the lab in petri dishes. Then it searched for and found exactly the mutation it wanted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crops altered in this way have never been strictly regulated, so Cibus didn't need government approval for its canola.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"https://cibus.com/our-team.php\">Peter Beetham\u003c/a>, the CEO of Cibus, goes further. If the company created this same kind of canola using newer gene-editing tools, he says, it also would not require any formal government review. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://cspinet.org/biography/gregory-jaffe\">Greg Jaffe\u003c/a>, director of the biotechnology project at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, says it is a troubling precedent. \"I don't think Cibus is violating any law, but I think that it points out the fact that this is a voluntary process, and that in the future, companies may not go through this process,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of consumers will find that unacceptable, he says. Gene editing is new, it's powerful, and people will have a host of questions about it. They'll want to know, for instance, whether their own food is genetically edited. \"The first step in having a discussion about technology is knowing what's out there,\" Jaffe says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jaffe is \u003ca href=\"https://cspinet.org/news/biotech-blog-national-registry-gene-edited-crops\">calling\u003c/a> on the government to maintain a comprehensive and public list of every gene-edited crop that farmers are harvesting and selling. \"I think that there should be a registry of these products, agricultural products that are going to go on the market, that have been gene-edited,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I reached out to several biotech companies to see what they thought of Jaffe's idea. They were noncommittal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several of them said that they do want some kind of government oversight of this technology. They say they have been convinced that it is essential for public acceptance of the technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the companies also are trying to avoid anything that suggests to consumers that gene-edited food is somehow different from every other food, and thus perhaps more dangerous. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

It's because a few of their genes have particular mutations, making them slightly different from the typical soybeans that farmers grow. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.calyxt.com/about-us/management-team/\">Manoj Sahoo\u003c/a>, the company's chief commercial officer, says this led to an obvious question: \"Can we have those same mutations in the modern varieties which are grown by our farmers?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company turned to a gene-editing technique, TALEN, that is similar to a more famous one called CRISPR. Sahoo describes it as a genetic scissors that can go in and cut the soybean plant's DNA very precisely. \"It does the cut, and then it comes out. There is no foreign material or foreign genes in the soybean,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a vital point. If you take genes from another kind of plant, or bacterium, and insert them into a crop like soybeans, the result is considered a genetically modified organism. You need government approval to sell a new GMO. Getting it can take years, and millions of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The European Union has decided that it's still a GMO. The U.S., however, says it's not. In fact, you may not need explicit government approval to sell that product.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Companies and even university researchers can ask the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration to examine their new products, and the results of these voluntary \"consultations\" are public. The USDA has a \u003ca href=\"https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/biotechnology/am-i-regulated/regulated_article_letters_of_inquiry/regulated_article_letters_of_inquiry\">website\u003c/a>, for example, where one can browse dozens of agency responses to such inquiries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calyxt went through this voluntary process with both the USDA and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.fda.gov/downloads/Food/IngredientsPackagingLabeling/GEPlants/Submissions/ucm632246.pdf\">FDA\u003c/a>, and both agencies gave the company's high-oleic soybean a green light.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think it is important to build consumer trust, and also [for] food safety, which is critical, to go through that oversight process,\" Sahoo says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, there's a gene-editing company called Cibus, in San Diego, that never asked the USDA or the FDA to formally approve its new line of canola.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adding to the confusion is the fact that this canola was created using an older method of creating genetic mutations. The company induced lots of random mutations in canola plants by multiplying them in the lab in petri dishes. Then it searched for and found exactly the mutation it wanted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crops altered in this way have never been strictly regulated, so Cibus didn't need government approval for its canola.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"https://cibus.com/our-team.php\">Peter Beetham\u003c/a>, the CEO of Cibus, goes further. If the company created this same kind of canola using newer gene-editing tools, he says, it also would not require any formal government review. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://cspinet.org/biography/gregory-jaffe\">Greg Jaffe\u003c/a>, director of the biotechnology project at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, says it is a troubling precedent. \"I don't think Cibus is violating any law, but I think that it points out the fact that this is a voluntary process, and that in the future, companies may not go through this process,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of consumers will find that unacceptable, he says. Gene editing is new, it's powerful, and people will have a host of questions about it. They'll want to know, for instance, whether their own food is genetically edited. \"The first step in having a discussion about technology is knowing what's out there,\" Jaffe says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jaffe is \u003ca href=\"https://cspinet.org/news/biotech-blog-national-registry-gene-edited-crops\">calling\u003c/a> on the government to maintain a comprehensive and public list of every gene-edited crop that farmers are harvesting and selling. \"I think that there should be a registry of these products, agricultural products that are going to go on the market, that have been gene-edited,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I reached out to several biotech companies to see what they thought of Jaffe's idea. They were noncommittal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several of them said that they do want some kind of government oversight of this technology. They say they have been convinced that it is essential for public acceptance of the technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the companies also are trying to avoid anything that suggests to consumers that gene-edited food is somehow different from every other food, and thus perhaps more dangerous. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Some shops have re-opened, but off a main road, things look a lot like they did six months ago — a reminder of how hard this community is working to recover and how far it still has to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Camp Fire began on Nov. 8, 2018 at 6:30 a.m. as a small vegetation fire under some PG&E power lines about seven miles from Paradise. It spread quickly, at one point, 80 acres per minute. That seven-mile gap vanished in less than 1.5 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Then I realized how serious it was,\" says Doyle Biswell, a firefighter with Cal Fire. He says by 8 a.m., the sky was completely black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He made it up into Paradise before the single, four-lane road out of town got clogged with cars trying to flee. Essentially sealing off the town from first responders for about 12 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I kind of told my firefighters — we're it,\" he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire was closing in, Biswell and his team could see it racing through the trees and hear propane tanks exploding. They knew they didn’t have time to save any buildings. They had to save people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was just one bad situation after another. Five people in wheelchairs were getting pushed up the street and their caregiver couldn’t get into her car. A group was standing in front of their home, refusing to leave. Biswell went car to car and door to door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I remember at one point evacuating people and was just screaming and chaos and people yelling at me people cussing at me, people crying,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He remembers one moment that still haunts him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As we were driving and I see a house on my right hand side and a silhouette and there was a person standing looking at the house next door completely engulfed in fire,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He had to turn his truck around to avoid getting trapped. When he got back, the person was gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm pretty sure I know what the outcome was,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Driving through Paradise months later, Biswell says there's so much about this fire that was unprecedented. He still can’t wrap his head around it\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This can't be the new normal, you don't sign up for this, this is destruction,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Some shops have re-opened, but off a main road, things look a lot like they did six months ago — a reminder of how hard this community is working to recover and how far it still has to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Camp Fire began on Nov. 8, 2018 at 6:30 a.m. as a small vegetation fire under some PG&E power lines about seven miles from Paradise. It spread quickly, at one point, 80 acres per minute. That seven-mile gap vanished in less than 1.5 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Then I realized how serious it was,\" says Doyle Biswell, a firefighter with Cal Fire. He says by 8 a.m., the sky was completely black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He made it up into Paradise before the single, four-lane road out of town got clogged with cars trying to flee. Essentially sealing off the town from first responders for about 12 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
