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.",

They faced a money-losing business, and had to get creative, Jim explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I shrunk the herd down to about 250 mother cows. We just didn’t buy replacement females,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That created what’s now known as a “closed herd.” All animals in the herd are born within it; no new ones are introduced. That decision changed everything. Because, at the same time, in the early 1990s, two things were happening that, on the surface, seem to have nothing to do with each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first was an animal health scare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.centerforfoodsafety.org/issues/1040/mad-cow-disease/timeline-mad-cow-disease-outbreaks\">Mad cow disease\u003c/a> — more formally known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy — “was really developing into a real serious health crisis in the United Kingdom and Europe,” Mary says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second? A beauty trend: dermal fillers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember the pillowy lips of actresses in the 1990s? That look came from collagen injections that came from cowhides. Jim says an old friend, an early pioneer in collagen dermal fillers, knew that Prather Ranch had a closed herd, which made it much less susceptible to problems like mad cow disease. He knew he could make a cleaner, safer collagen with their cowhides. So he called them up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I remember going, ‘Really?’ ” Jim says with a laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Puffy lips wasn’t exactly our primary life goal at that point,” Mary adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Rickerts wanted to keep the ranch going. That collagen company built them the slaughterhouse on-site. Eventually, biomedical companies came knocking for cow parts, too. He won’t talk about the financials, but Jim says there have been years when they’ve made more money selling beef byproducts for medical use than they made selling beef.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11718934\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11718934\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS34646_IMG_0537-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS34646_IMG_0537-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS34646_IMG_0537-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS34646_IMG_0537-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS34646_IMG_0537-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS34646_IMG_0537-qut-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Employee Craig Holbrook prepares a femur for a medical client. \u003ccite>(Lisa Morehouse/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The companies that buy from Prather Ranch sign confidentiality agreements, but one executive — whose company turns Prather Ranch cowhides into purified collagen for cell research, cancer research and 3D bio printing — says that a hide from Prather Ranch can cost him thousands of dollars more than those from other sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the processing room, employee Craig Holbrook preps a femur bone for a medical client.

That decision changed everything. Because, at the same time, in the early 1990s, two things were happening that, on the surface, seem to have nothing to do with each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first was an animal health scare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.centerforfoodsafety.org/issues/1040/mad-cow-disease/timeline-mad-cow-disease-outbreaks\">Mad cow disease\u003c/a> — more formally known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy — “was really developing into a real serious health crisis in the United Kingdom and Europe,” Mary says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second?

Jim says an old friend, an early pioneer in collagen dermal fillers, knew that Prather Ranch had a closed herd, which made it much less susceptible to problems like mad cow disease. He knew he could make a cleaner, safer collagen with their cowhides. So he called them up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I remember going, ‘Really?’ ” Jim says with a laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Puffy lips wasn’t exactly our primary life goal at that point,” Mary adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Rickerts wanted to keep the ranch going.

"content": "\u003cp>Twenty five years ago — at 4:30 a.m. on Jan. 17, 1994 — the Northridge earthquake shook Angelenos from their beds. For those of us who lived through it, the memories of chaos early in the morning are unforgettable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were just literally startled awake by a freight train driving right through our bedroom,\" said my father, Mark Margolis, who along with my sister, my mother and myself, was sleeping just about seven miles from the epicenter. \"I mean the blinds that were supposed to be hanging vertical were horizontal. So, there was a tremendous amount of movement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was only five, and remember being pulled from my bed into the dark hallway by my parents. Our house was a mess with everything from our shelves and what was inside of our refrigerator being thrown out to the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After things calmed down, we walked outside. I remember dark silhouettes of my neighbors milling about, trying to figure out what to do, just as dawn began to break and aftershocks rolled through.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11718873/another-morning-another-wake-up-quake-in-the-east-bay-hills\">Another Morning, Another Wake-Up Quake in the East Bay Hills\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11718873/another-morning-another-wake-up-quake-in-the-east-bay-hills\">\u003cimg src=\"https://cartocdn-gusc-a.global.ssl.fastly.net/mgreen/api/v1/map/mgreen@d73c934c@1120027215d6d346a00faa7d7307e8ae:1547770994786/1,2/8/41/99.png\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When the sun rose, everyone was able to take stock of the damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 6.7 magnitude earthquake destroyed freeways and buildings, cracked streets and left swaths of Los Angeles without power for a period of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I remember driving down one of the main streets and there was like water coming up from the street because there were broken gas lines as well as broken water lines. There was water, but there were also flames coming out of the water,\" said my father. \"Burning water -- how often do you see that?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The earthquake killed at least 57 people and damages reached $40 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Angelenos were displaced for a period of time. Some people were lucky enough to stay with family and friends. Some had to live for days in parks as the structural integrity of their buildings was assessed.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Prepared for the next one?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every time an earthquake hits, we learn new things about just how unprepared we are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the Northridge earthquake, building codes have improved and retrofit programs for hospitals, apartments and freeways have been implemented. The hope is that those improvements leave us safer. But Southern California hasn't had an earthquake strong enough to test the region for its preparedness for some time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 7,000 miles of water pipes are currently being retrofitted by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, so that they don't crack in an earthquake. Those pipes rupturing could mean contamination or complete loss of water to homes. Craig Davis, the Water System Resilience Program Manager, said that it will take 120 years to fix the entire system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to seismologists, an earthquake far bigger than Northridge could hit at anytime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seismologist Lucile Jones was the lead author of a 2008 report called \"\u003ca href=\"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2008/1150/\">The ShakeOut Scenario\u003c/a>\" for the U.S. Geological Survey. In it, researchers described a theoretical but likely earthquake: A 7.8 magnitude temblor on the southern San Andreas fault that would be 44 times stronger than Northridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report estimated that if that earthquake occured, 1,800 people could die, buildings could collapse, an estimated $200 billion in damage could be done and conflagrations could break out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Northridge was an event that disrupted the lives of people in the San Fernando Valley extensively ... disrupted our community for a year or two,\" Jones said. \"The big San Andreas earthquake is going to disrupt the lives of everybody in Southern California and it could take us decades to recover what we lose.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has worked with Jones to implement various programs designed to improve the city's \u003ca href=\"http://100resilientcities.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Los-Angeles-Resilience-Strategy-PDF.pdf\">resilience\u003c/a>. \"We're better prepared for the big one than any big city in America,\" he said, \"which is to say, we're woefully unprepared.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Limited water and overwhelmed emergency services after a big quake hits could mean large fires spreading quickly throughout the hills and neighborhoods, according to Jones. Mark Ghilarducci, director of California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, said it could take 48 to 72 hours for outside help to arrive in Southern California. Meaning, 10 million people should expect to be largely on their own for a couple of days after the disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is some good news: \"Most of the time under most circumstances ... you're going to see people become the best version, the most altruistic version of themselves, especially in those first couple of minutes and moments after the event,\" said Joe Trainor, who studies disasters and crisis at the University of Delaware.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, to survive a major earthquake, it's important that \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/2019/01/07/the_big_one_earthquake_surivival_guide_101_how_to.php\">people take steps to prepare\u003c/a>. Stock up on water, food, medicine and make sure that there's some alternate form of shelter in case homes are unlivable. Everyone who lives in an earthquake zone should have some sort of emergency plan in place and coordinate that plan with friends and family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

For those of us who lived through it, the memories of chaos early in the morning are unforgettable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were just literally startled awake by a freight train driving right through our bedroom,\" said my father, Mark Margolis, who along with my sister, my mother and myself, was sleeping just about seven miles from the epicenter. \"I mean the blinds that were supposed to be hanging vertical were horizontal. So, there was a tremendous amount of movement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was only five, and remember being pulled from my bed into the dark hallway by my parents. Our house was a mess with everything from our shelves and what was inside of our refrigerator being thrown out to the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After things calmed down, we walked outside. I remember dark silhouettes of my neighbors milling about, trying to figure out what to do, just as dawn began to break and aftershocks rolled through.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11718873/another-morning-another-wake-up-quake-in-the-east-bay-hills\">Another Morning, Another Wake-Up Quake in the East Bay Hills\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11718873/another-morning-another-wake-up-quake-in-the-east-bay-hills\">\u003cimg src=\"https://cartocdn-gusc-a.global.ssl.fastly.net/mgreen/api/v1/map/mgreen@d73c934c@1120027215d6d346a00faa7d7307e8ae:1547770994786/1,2/8/41/99.png\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When the sun rose, everyone was able to take stock of the damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 6.7 magnitude earthquake destroyed freeways and buildings, cracked streets and left swaths of Los Angeles without power for a period of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I remember driving down one of the main streets and there was like water coming up from the street because there were broken gas lines as well as broken water lines. There was water, but there were also flames coming out of the water,\" said my father. \"Burning water -- how often do you see that?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The earthquake killed at least 57 people and damages reached $40 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Angelenos were displaced for a period of time. Some people were lucky enough to stay with family and friends. Some had to live for days in parks as the structural integrity of their buildings was assessed.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The hope is that those improvements leave us safer. But Southern California hasn't had an earthquake strong enough to test the region for its preparedness for some time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 7,000 miles of water pipes are currently being retrofitted by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, so that they don't crack in an earthquake. Those pipes rupturing could mean contamination or complete loss of water to homes. Craig Davis, the Water System Resilience Program Manager, said that it will take 120 years to fix the entire system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to seismologists, an earthquake far bigger than Northridge could hit at anytime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seismologist Lucile Jones was the lead author of a 2008 report called \"\u003ca href=\"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2008/1150/\">The ShakeOut Scenario\u003c/a>\" for the U.S. Geological Survey. In it, researchers described a theoretical but likely earthquake: A 7.8 magnitude temblor on the southern San Andreas fault that would be 44 times stronger than Northridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report estimated that if that earthquake occured, 1,800 people could die, buildings could collapse, an estimated $200 billion in damage could be done and conflagrations could break out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Northridge was an event that disrupted the lives of people in the San Fernando Valley extensively ... disrupted our community for a year or two,\" Jones said. \"The big San Andreas earthquake is going to disrupt the lives of everybody in Southern California and it could take us decades to recover what we lose.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has worked with Jones to implement various programs designed to improve the city's \u003ca href=\"http://100resilientcities.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Los-Angeles-Resilience-Strategy-PDF.pdf\">resilience\u003c/a>. \"We're better prepared for the big one than any big city in America,\" he said, \"which is to say, we're woefully unprepared.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Limited water and overwhelmed emergency services after a big quake hits could mean large fires spreading quickly throughout the hills and neighborhoods, according to Jones. Mark Ghilarducci, director of California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, said it could take 48 to 72 hours for outside help to arrive in Southern California. Meaning, 10 million people should expect to be largely on their own for a couple of days after the disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is some good news: \"Most of the time under most circumstances ... you're going to see people become the best version, the most altruistic version of themselves, especially in those first couple of minutes and moments after the event,\" said Joe Trainor, who studies disasters and crisis at the University of Delaware.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, to survive a major earthquake, it's important that \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/2019/01/07/the_big_one_earthquake_surivival_guide_101_how_to.php\">people take steps to prepare\u003c/a>. Stock up on water, food, medicine and make sure that there's some alternate form of shelter in case homes are unlivable. Everyone who lives in an earthquake zone should have some sort of emergency plan in place and coordinate that plan with friends and family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
