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.",

According to Casey Schreiner, founder and editor of \u003ca href=\"https://modernhiker.com/\">Modern Hiker\u003c/a>, the term “super bloom” didn’t exist until the last few years; it’s a word made up to mean a bunch of flowers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California native plant seeds can live for a long time without sprouting. They are fragile and resilient at the same time, Schreiner said Friday, because they need certain conditions to bloom — but once they have them, they really thrive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schreiner said the tourism onslaught at Anza-Borrego in 2017 — thanks to social media — was so unexpected that restaurants ran out of food and bathrooms were out of service. He said it’s important people stay on trails and don’t disturb the plans because wildflowers like the golden poppy, for example, don’t seed until after they bloom — so the flowers that people are picking or trampling now likely won’t grow back next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more information on where to find a super bloom near you, visit the \u003ca href=\"http://theodorepayne.org/\">Theodore Payne Foundation\u003c/a>.

Did we do it, or did they save themselves?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then he tells them: “They’re not monarchs, they’re painted ladies”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The super bloom benefits painted ladies because the insects overwinter (similar to hibernating) in the desert, meaning when there is more rain, they have more plants on which they can lay their eggs — creating the perfect storm for a population boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11733290\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11733290\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/03152019_superbloom_singlep-qut-800x491.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"491\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/03152019_superbloom_singlep-qut-800x491.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/03152019_superbloom_singlep-qut-160x98.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/03152019_superbloom_singlep-qut-1020x626.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/03152019_superbloom_singlep-qut-1200x736.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/03152019_superbloom_singlep-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A super bloom of wild poppies blankets the hills of Walker Canyon on March 12, 2019, near Lake Elsinore, California. \u003ccite>(Mario Tama/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The last wildflower super bloom was in spring 2017 after several years of drought. According to Casey Schreiner, founder and editor of \u003ca href=\"https://modernhiker.com/\">Modern Hiker\u003c/a>, the term “super bloom” didn’t exist until the last few years; it’s a word made up to mean a bunch of flowers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California native plant seeds can live for a long time without sprouting. They are fragile and resilient at the same time, Schreiner said Friday, because they need certain conditions to bloom — but once they have them, they really thrive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schreiner said the tourism onslaught at Anza-Borrego in 2017 — thanks to social media — was so unexpected that restaurants ran out of food and bathrooms were out of service. He said it’s important people stay on trails and don’t disturb the plans because wildflowers like the golden poppy, for example, don’t seed until after they bloom — so the flowers that people are picking or trampling now likely won’t grow back next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more information on where to find a super bloom near you, visit the \u003ca href=\"http://theodorepayne.org/\">Theodore Payne Foundation\u003c/a>.

The outage forced the facility to flare off nearly 20 tons of gases and sent flames and black smoke into the sky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident prompted local health officials authorities to issue an hours-long health advisory for people near the facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem began when electrical engineers troubleshooting a problem with an alarm accidentally \u003ca style=\"color: #41a62a;\" href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11286402/shell-wont-say-what-gases-its-martinez-refinery-sent-into-the-air-during-outage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tripped a circuit breaker\u003c/a> connected to a substation that feeds power to the refinery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The refinery later reported that a significant portion of the gas sent to its flares was hydrogen sulfide. When that gas burns through flaring it turns into sulfur dioxide, a pollutant that can harm the respiratory system and make breathing difficult. High levels of sulfur dioxide can damage trees and plants, and it also contributes to the formation of acid rain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The air district fined Shell $20,000 for releasing sulfur dioxide into the air for four hours, according to air district spokesman Ralph Borrmann. The agency issued three $10,000 fines against the company for other emissions from three of the facility’s boilers, Borrmann said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shell says it has made fixes to prevent a repeat of the December 2016 episode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even though these violations did not result in significant impacts to people or the environment, we take them seriously and aim to prevent them from happening again,” said the Martinez refinery’s spokeswoman, Ann Notarangelo, in an emailed statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Bay Area is home to some of the strictest air quality standards in the world, and those standards we embrace,” Notarangelo said. “When we fall short of them, we want to immediately report and correct.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, after several serious refinery malfunctions at Benicia’s Valero refinery and the Phillips 66 facility in Rodeo, state Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, proposed tripling many fines for refineries that violate air quality laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two Bay Area mayors and environmental groups said the proposal was too weak, and the Western States Petroleum Association, which represents the state’s major oil companies, opposed it as unnecessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11660005/facing-widespread-opposition-lawmaker-ends-effort-to-increase-refinery-penalties\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">killed\u003c/a> before it received its first hearing.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
