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.",

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>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For water watchers and the drought-anxious, attention now turns to the prospects for rain during the rest of the wet season.

The consensus from \u003ca href=\"http://weatherwest.com/archives/6072\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">those who divine the trends\u003c/a> in weather forecast models is that we'll be stuck with these beautiful, non-snowpack-enhancing conditions for at least the next couple of weeks.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

That's despite promises from the Thai government to crack down on abuses suffered by mostly migrants from countries like Myanmar and Cambodia -- and despite pressure from the U.S. and European countries that purchase much of Thailand's seafood exports. (Thailand is the fourth-largest seafood exporter in the world).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For U.S. retailers and seafood importers, ferreting slavery out of the supply chain has proved exceedingly difficult.

Like Seafood Watch's color-coded ratings, the Seafood Slavery Risk Tool aims to keep it simple -- set criteria determine whether a fishery will earn a critical, high, moderate or low risk rating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \"critical risk\" rating, for example, means credible evidence of forced labor or child labor has been found within the fishery itself. Albacore, skipjack and yellowfin tuna caught by the Taiwanese fleet get a critical risk rating. A \"low risk\" fishery, like Patagonian toothfish in Chile (also known as Chilean seabass), is one with good regulatory protections and enforcement, with no evidence of abuses in related industries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until recently, environmental concerns dominated most of the conversation around sustainable seafood. Issues like overfishing, mangrove destruction, pollution and illegal fishing determined whether a seafood item was deemed one to enjoy or avoid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when reports began to surface in\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2014/jun/10/supermarket-prawns-thailand-produced-slave-labour\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 2014\u003c/a> and\u003ca href=\"https://www.ap.org/explore/seafood-from-slaves/ap-investigation-slaves-may-have-caught-the-fish-you-bought.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 2015\u003c/a> that seafood harvested or processed by forced labor was making it into the supply chains of major U.S. retailers like Walmart, Kroger, Safeway and restaurants like Red Lobster, corporations were quick to make\u003ca href=\"https://www.albertsons.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Albertsons_Companies_Responsible_Seafood_Policy_Commitment2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> public\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hy-vee.com/corporate/our-company/sustainability/responsible-choice-seafood/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> commitments\u003c/a> and include stronger language in their\u003ca href=\"https://suppliers.safeway.com/docs/supplier_sustainability_expectations.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> supplier guidelines\u003c/a> in hopes of addressing the problem. Delivering on those promises, however, has proved harder. Traceability alone hasn't been enough. Until now, retailers have had few tools to make it easier to identify which fisheries are actually at higher risk for human rights abuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a lament heard by Seafood Watch and others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The companies knew their supply chains weren't transparent. They were obviously embarrassed and humiliated by being called out,\" says Duncan Jepson, founder of Liberty Asia, a nongovernmental organization that focuses on preventing human trafficking. He adds that the incentive for businesses to use the new Seafood Watch tool is obvious. \"From our perspective, the question now is, do you want to be involved or exposed to people earning their profits from these types of environments?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maisie Ganzler is chief strategy and brand officer at\u003ca href=\"http://www.bamco.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Bon Appétit Management Company \u003c/a>and oversees the food service company's supply chain and purchasing standards. She says it's difficult for any company to get assurances that the product it's buying was produced without slave labor. Distance, language and cultural barriers, murky supply chains where seafood changes hands multiple times — all make the problem harder. She says America's country-of-origin labeling system, which labels where a tuna is canned but not where it is caught, also muddies the waters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And then you have the high prevalence of fraud, and I don't mean species fraud,\" says Ganzler. \"If you're willing to enslave another human being or throw a worker overboard, are you willing to also falsify the papers that come with the fish? Probably. These are the most hidden issues in the farthest reaches of the world. It's super hard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McDonald of Seafood Watch says the data behind the new risk tool come from reliable government and media reports of known abuses; incidences of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing; the number of days a fishing vessel is at sea; and more. The tool also considers other indicators, like whether there is evidence of forced labor, human trafficking and child labor in a country's other sectors -- such as forestry, agriculture and aquaculture. That increases the likelihood that these abuses could be happening in fisheries as well, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike the aquarium's Seafood Watch app, the new Seafood Slavery Risk tool will not advise retailers to purchase one species over another. Instead, \"we say: stay, engage and create change in the industry by working with suppliers to change their practices,\" says McDonald. \"With Seafood Watch, we have a lot of advice on what to purchase and what not, but it's very different with human rights abuses. If you boycott or avoid or stop purchasing, it drives it underground. Every human rights expert we talked with says you can't boycott, you have to keep it out in the sunshine. That's the only way to make a difference.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many retailers are already skittish about talking openly about slavery in the seafood industry, and it's unclear how they'll address these issues with their own customers. Kroger, Safeway, Whole Foods, Hy-Vee, Walmart and Red Lobster did not respond or declined our requests for an interview for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No retailer is going to go out and talk much about the fact that there are labor rights issues in the supply chain, but it's critical that retailers stay in the game and continue to be involved,\" says Dick Jones, CEO of Ocean Outcomes, an international NGO focused on improving fisheries and fish farms in Northeast Asia. He likens it to the routine testing that retailers do for \u003cem>E. coli\u003c/em> in ground beef. \"They don't tell their customers there's a risk. They just do it because it's the right thing to do,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other groups are also working on tools to help businesses avoid human rights abuses in their supply chains.

It was worse than the Chevron fire of 2012,\" Butt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the major fire at the Chevron refinery in Richmond more than five years ago, thousands of residents went to local hospitals complaining of breathing problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time around there were no reports of similar health complaints, and there were no injuries to workers, said Rodby, the Sims spokeswoman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the wind patterns changed -- sending the smoke into different residential neighborhoods. Smoke initially shot up into the air, creating a plume that trailed off in an eastward direction, according to Butt.

So we added different areas for the shelter-in-place as the evening went on,\" Sawyer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, Sims says it will investigate the cause of the fire and look to make improvements to reduce the risk of blazes at the facility in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We apologize for any inconvenience caused to the community by this incident and will continue to be committed to being a good corporate neighbor,\" a statement released Wednesday afternoon by the company reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post was updated to include portions of statements from the Contra Costa County's sheriff's department and Sims Metal Management. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

I don't think they were necessarily clear,\" Gioia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The orders stayed in place until just before 4 a.m. Wednesday, when an all-clear was issued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the smoke spread through the city and the shelter-in-place orders expanded, residents expressed criticism and confusion on social media forums like Nextdoor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The fire started around 6, some are just now getting alerts, that's way too long a delay,\" posted Kent Langston at 7:42 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office, which runs the alert system, released a statement late Wednesday, defending the program's work and disputed claims it was slow to act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The CWS worked as designed,\" said Assistant Sheriff Mark Williams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mayor Butt's statement that it took an hour to get out the first alert after receiving the necessary information from Richmond Fire is totally inaccurate, misleading, and presumptuous,\" said Acting Sheriff Mark Williams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff's department statement said to get out developing information, it used phone, text and email alerts, posted on social media and websites and developed a comprehensive map that included the affected areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, it noted that the fire department did not request to use the warning system's sirens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county's hazardous materials program helped determine where the shelter-in-place orders should be expanded, according to the agency's chief environmental health and hazardous materials officer, Randy Sawyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When they started putting the fire out, it cooled down, so the smoke stayed closer to the ground and it moved around. So we added different areas for the shelter-in-place as the evening went on,\" Sawyer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, Sims says it will investigate the cause of the fire and look to make improvements to reduce the risk of blazes at the facility in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We apologize for any inconvenience caused to the community by this incident and will continue to be committed to being a good corporate neighbor,\" a statement released Wednesday afternoon by the company reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
