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 operator insisted that a Muni supervisor had instructed employees \"not to produce their cellphones when confronted by CPUC inspectors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other incidents involved workers -- a train operator and a private security guard working for Muni -- talking on their phones as they walked across tracks in rail yards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC citation added that when its Safety Enforcement Division approached a senior Muni official last June to ask about how many cellphone violations the transit agency had recorded so far in 2018, the official \"replied that no violations\" had been discovered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5689239/SFMTA-Reiskin-Letter-to-CPUC.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a letter to the CPUC\u003c/a> last week, Municipal Transportation Agency chief Ed Reiskin said Muni accepts the inspectors' findings and is \"moving decisively\" to curb cellphone violations. Among the steps the agency is taking, Reiskin said, are \"targeted blitzes\" to remind operators about the rules on personal electronic devices, new signage on vehicles and in rail facilities, and a new test for operators on the requirements of state and local regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is an issue we take very seriously,\" SFMTA spokesman Paul Rose said in an emailed statement Thursday. \"Even though no one was using their cell phone while driving, we took a number of steps in response to these violations. ... Managers worked hard to reach out to operators to get feedback and share the importance about following these rules.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t’s probably a good thing that the thousands of commuters who were expected to use San Francisco’s Transbay Transit Center every day didn’t have time to get attached to it. Or that the crowds that enthusiastically thronged the facility’s rooftop park didn’t get too used to hanging out there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because there’s still no telling when all those people, or the rest of us, will get a chance to use the transit facility or visit the landmark park again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, the quarter-mile-long building sits inside its stylish white aluminum cocoon just south of Mission Street like \u003ca href=\"https://christojeanneclaude.net/projects/running-fence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a Christo installation\u003c/a>: \"Transit Center, Interrupted.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Coverage\" tag=\"transbay-transit-center\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $2.2 billion bus terminal/park in the sky/train station of the future was shut down during the afternoon rush hour last Sept. 25 after workers discovered cracks in a pair of steel girders that help support the center’s bus deck where it crosses above Fremont Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that point, the center had been open all of 44 days. Crews rushed to shore up the girders over Fremont Street. They installed similar bracing where the bus deck spans First Street just in case the structural steel there developed cracks. No cracks emerged in that second location, the one piece of good news that has emerged from this saga so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Monday, the transit center has been closed for \u003ca href=\"//abc7news.com/timeline-of-salesforce-transit-center-closure-in-sf/4393898/%E2%80%9D\" target=\"”_blank”\">104 days\u003c/a> -- more than twice as long as it was open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the question \u003ca href=\"//www.kqed.org/news/11700692/when-will-the-s-f-transit-center-reopen-it-will-be-weeks-before-we-have-a-date%E2%80%9D\" target=\"”_blank”\">has occurred\u003c/a>: When will the transit center reopen?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the answer: No one knows for sure. Though in the 15 weeks since the center closed, the Transbay Joint Powers Authority, which oversees the facility, has been busy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, bracing the structure, because it would be unseemly to have the building fall down in the street. Then consulting with experts about how to go about investigating why the steel cracked. Then having laboratory tests conducted to zero in on the cause of the cracks. Then consulting with other experts about the best way to repair the girders. Then asking the first set of experts to sign off on the repair method recommended by the second set of experts. And then asking that first set of experts what other parts of the transit center might need to be inspected before the facility reopens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this is where things stand as we wait for the joint powers authority board to meet \u003ca href=\"//tjpa.org/calendar-items/board-meeting-january-10-2019%E2%80%9D\" target=\"”_blank”\">on Thursday\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The metal testing has been concluded. (The apparent cause of the fractures: Flaws introduced into the 40-inch steel girders by cutting torches used to make what have been called \"access holes\" for welding.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Engineers have devised \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5677189/Transbay-Transit-Center-Girder-Repairs.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a fix\u003c/a> -- it was shown when the board met on Dec. 13.

Crews rushed to shore up the girders over Fremont Street. They installed similar bracing where the bus deck spans First Street just in case the structural steel there developed cracks. No cracks emerged in that second location, the one piece of good news that has emerged from this saga so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Monday, the transit center has been closed for \u003ca href=\"//abc7news.com/timeline-of-salesforce-transit-center-closure-in-sf/4393898/%E2%80%9D\" target=\"”_blank”\">104 days\u003c/a> -- more than twice as long as it was open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the question \u003ca href=\"//www.kqed.org/news/11700692/when-will-the-s-f-transit-center-reopen-it-will-be-weeks-before-we-have-a-date%E2%80%9D\" target=\"”_blank”\">has occurred\u003c/a>: When will the transit center reopen?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the answer: No one knows for sure. Though in the 15 weeks since the center closed, the Transbay Joint Powers Authority, which oversees the facility, has been busy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, bracing the structure, because it would be unseemly to have the building fall down in the street. Then consulting with experts about how to go about investigating why the steel cracked. Then having laboratory tests conducted to zero in on the cause of the cracks. Then consulting with other experts about the best way to repair the girders. Then asking the first set of experts to sign off on the repair method recommended by the second set of experts. And then asking that first set of experts what other parts of the transit center might need to be inspected before the facility reopens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this is where things stand as we wait for the joint powers authority board to meet \u003ca href=\"//tjpa.org/calendar-items/board-meeting-january-10-2019%E2%80%9D\" target=\"”_blank”\">on Thursday\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The metal testing has been concluded. (The apparent cause of the fractures: Flaws introduced into the 40-inch steel girders by cutting torches used to make what have been called \"access holes\" for welding.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Engineers have devised \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5677189/Transbay-Transit-Center-Girder-Repairs.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a fix\u003c/a> -- it was shown when the board met on Dec. 13.

Like other automakers, Tesla will have to either cut production or reduce prices to raise sales. A drop in demand could also curtail the company's earnings and jeopardize CEO Elon Musk's promise to post sustained quarterly profits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Tesla did cut prices, knocking $2,000 off each of its three models. The company said the cuts will help customers deal with the loss of a $7,500 federal tax credit, which was reduced to $3,750 this month for Tesla buyers and will gradually go to zero by the end of 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They have for a long time had more demand than supply,\" Gartner analyst Michael Ramsey said. \"It's becoming apparent that that dynamic is changing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla reported that it produced 254,530 cars and SUVs last year and delivered 245,240. Tesla shares had fallen by as much a 10 percent since markets opened Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company's deliveries for the full year matched Wall Street estimates, but its figures for the fourth quarter didn't reach expectations. Tesla said it delivered 90,700 vehicles from October through December. Analysts polled by data provider FactSet expected 92,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at the forecasting firm LMC Automotive, said demand for Tesla's lower-priced Model 3 has been artificially high for the past six months as the company overcame production problems at its Fremont factory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've had these inflated months because of delayed deliveries,\" Schuster said. \"We're probably getting to that point where we're getting to equilibrium and consumers aren't necessarily waiting for vehicles.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Tesla reported that about 420,000 buyers had put down $1,000 deposits to join the Model 3 waiting list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LMC predicts that Tesla U.S. sales will rise in 2019 because it's the first full year on the market for the Model 3. It anticipates sales to then fall by about 10,000 in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Losing the tax credit will hit those who have been holding out for the $35,000 version of the Model 3, Schuster said. At present, Tesla is selling only versions that cost at least $44,000. Under federal law, buyers get the full tax credit until a manufacturer reaches 200,000 in sales since the start of 2010. Tesla hit 200,000 in July, but the full credit continued for vehicles delivered by Dec. 31. It was cut in half on Jan. 1 and will go away by the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've had your early adopters. Those early followers have already come in\" to buy, Schuster said. \"Now you're trying to appeal to the mainstream market. I think that will have an impact on overall demand.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, inventory appears to be rising. The company parked hundreds of cars at lots and Tesla stores all over the country at the end of last year, which could indicate excess stock. Tesla wouldn't give inventory numbers but said it has lower stocks than its two biggest competitors, BMW and Mercedes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Associated Press found one lot on the north side of Chicago where Tesla was storing dozens of vehicles in late December, and Mark Spiegel, a hedge fund manager who bets against Tesla stock, said other lots were full across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla said it sometimes stores vehicles on lots as they're being shipped to company dealerships across the nation. The lot in Chicago has fewer cars on it now, the company said. \"Our inventory levels remain the smallest in the automotive industry,\" the company said Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla also says Model 3 sales should grow worldwide as it expands distribution and begins to offer leases. Deliveries in Europe and China will start in February, and a right-hand-drive version is coming later in the year, the company said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, inventory dropped in the fourth quarter as Tesla \"delivered a few thousand vehicles more than produced.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla said it had about 3,000 vehicles in transit to customers at year's end. But even with that number, Schuster said production still exceeded deliveries, which doesn't fit Tesla's business model of building cars when they are ordered by customers. Still, even at 9,300, Tesla's inventory is smaller than other automakers that have to stock dealerships, Schuster said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story has been corrected to show that the least expensive Tesla Model 3 costs $44,000 instead of $45,000. Also, the federal tax credit will gradually go to zero by the end of 2019, not 2018.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Tesla wouldn't give inventory numbers but said it has lower stocks than its two biggest competitors, BMW and Mercedes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Associated Press found one lot on the north side of Chicago where Tesla was storing dozens of vehicles in late December, and Mark Spiegel, a hedge fund manager who bets against Tesla stock, said other lots were full across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla said it sometimes stores vehicles on lots as they're being shipped to company dealerships across the nation. The lot in Chicago has fewer cars on it now, the company said. \"Our inventory levels remain the smallest in the automotive industry,\" the company said Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla also says Model 3 sales should grow worldwide as it expands distribution and begins to offer leases. Deliveries in Europe and China will start in February, and a right-hand-drive version is coming later in the year, the company said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, inventory dropped in the fourth quarter as Tesla \"delivered a few thousand vehicles more than produced.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla said it had about 3,000 vehicles in transit to customers at year's end. But even with that number, Schuster said production still exceeded deliveries, which doesn't fit Tesla's business model of building cars when they are ordered by customers. Still, even at 9,300, Tesla's inventory is smaller than other automakers that have to stock dealerships, Schuster said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story has been corrected to show that the least expensive Tesla Model 3 costs $44,000 instead of $45,000. Also, the federal tax credit will gradually go to zero by the end of 2019, not 2018.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
