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 monarch has been saved!

"content": "\u003cp>A California woman who says Johnson & Johnson baby powder caused her to develop mesothelioma was awarded $29 million by a jury Wednesday. J&J says it will appeal the judgment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiff, Terry Leavitt, said she regularly used two J&J products in the 1960s and ’70s containing talc. In 2017, she was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a kind of cancer linked to asbestos exposure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After two days of deliberation, the jury found that J&J talc-based products were defective and caused Leavitt’s mesothelioma, and that the company had failed to warn consumers about the risks. The jury, in the California Superior Court in Oakland, awarded Leavitt and her husband $29.4 million in damages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>J&J faces thousands of lawsuits alleging its talc-based products harmed consumers. This suit is the first to go to trial since articles by Reuters and The New York Times alleged the company feared for years that its baby powder might contain asbestos. J&J denies that its talc powder contains asbestos or is responsible for health problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>J&J said it would appeal, pointing to “serious procedural and evidentiary errors,” Reuters reported. “The jury verdicts are not medical, scientific or regulatory conclusions about a product,” it said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December, documents came to light showing J&J \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/johnsonandjohnson-cancer/\">worried for decades\u003c/a> that its baby powder might be laced with small amounts of asbestos, which can occur naturally underground near talc. A company executive in the 1970s warned that J&J’s talc mines might not be free of asbestos.

And when the Camp Fire happened, the curriculum was re-designed to cater to Paradise and surrounding burnt-out towns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Zanghi, it’s been a challenge trying to redesign proposals that preserve Paradise’s rural character. But he said it’s a misnomer that rebuilding or redeveloping a mountain community like this will result in a more expensive town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really important to have architecture be more than just luxury high rises,” Zanghi said. “It should be things that help a community grow and flourish.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affordability and gentrification are some of the more heated topics emerging so far in the town’s preliminary discussions. At some cantankerous city council meetings, fire survivors have argued with officials over whether they could put campers on burnt-out properties and how FEMA resources will be allocated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students’ instructor, Stacey White, said those are tough conversations that have to happen. But what’s going on here is separate. These kids can take the time to take a 30,000 foot view of the rebuilding project and hopefully inspire a little hope for the community amid all the other setbacks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But [these] students have an ability to step back and think, ‘what if we did this right?’,” White said. “They’re focused on affordability, resiliency and permanence; really investing in the place so we don’t relive this again in ten years.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her class will soon hand over their plans to the town. After four long months of stress and anxiety in this community, the students hope the crisis can also be looked at as an opportunity for Paradise, and they want to help. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

And when the Camp Fire happened, the curriculum was re-designed to cater to Paradise and surrounding burnt-out towns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Zanghi, it’s been a challenge trying to redesign proposals that preserve Paradise’s rural character. But he said it’s a misnomer that rebuilding or redeveloping a mountain community like this will result in a more expensive town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really important to have architecture be more than just luxury high rises,” Zanghi said. “It should be things that help a community grow and flourish.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affordability and gentrification are some of the more heated topics emerging so far in the town’s preliminary discussions. At some cantankerous city council meetings, fire survivors have argued with officials over whether they could put campers on burnt-out properties and how FEMA resources will be allocated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students’ instructor, Stacey White, said those are tough conversations that have to happen. But what’s going on here is separate. These kids can take the time to take a 30,000 foot view of the rebuilding project and hopefully inspire a little hope for the community amid all the other setbacks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But [these] students have an ability to step back and think, ‘what if we did this right?’,” White said. “They’re focused on affordability, resiliency and permanence; really investing in the place so we don’t relive this again in ten years.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
