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.",

She’s found she loves being a student, loves working on her English and math skills and grappling with new concepts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that Brittany has a space of her own, she’s been able to better get to know herself, and be a more typical young adult in her 20s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s opening herself up to new experiences like meditation, and enjoying the things she was too exhausted to do before, like going out dancing with friends. Having an apartment has also created the mental space for Brittany to begin processing the challenges of her childhood and her time without shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are still big questions in Brittany’s life. How long will it take to finish school? Will the degree be all Brittany hopes for? What about housing? Brittany isn’t actually sure how long the family from Oakland is planning to pay her rent. It’s a hard conversation to have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Click on the photos and captions below for a view of Brittany’s life recently:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

People have lived this way for decades. It can be a cheap way to live, but nearly everyone I spoke with said “it’s a hard life.” Almost all said those exact words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The floating homes can range from very nice sailboats to barely floating tubs covered in tarps. The biennial Marin County homeless count in 2015 found that \u003ca href=\"https://www.marinhhs.org/sites/default/files/files/servicepages/2015_06/marincounty_homelessreport_2015_final-6.23review.pdf\">14 percent of the homeless population live on boats\u003c/a>.

I saw one unattended boat taking on water and beginning to sink when I was out on the bay.

Scenic vistas scrolled past, offering views of wooden barns in Penngrove, old boats in Petaluma and wide-open marshland near San Rafael. Strangers struck up conversations: Two Deadheads discussed Olompali State Park as we passed it.

One nun taking the trip in full wardrobe took pictures with her phone.

Their favorite thing to do on the way home from school is to go by the train tracks to see the train.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A conductor estimated the ridership was at its maximum capacity of 300.

So it's Medicaid that enables her to stay here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's nothing I can do about it,\" she says. \"It's gotta be [Medicaid] or [I'm] out on the street.

Private pay patients also pay more than Medicaid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gardner says he's an optimist. Whatever Congress does, he doesn't think that Victoria Care Center would close down, though there might have to be cuts in staff and in the costs of food and supplies. Also, Gardner says that Victoria Care Center is part of a chain of 200 facilities, which could cushion the blow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone is as optimistic as he is. According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ahcancal.org/Pages/Default.aspx\">American Health Care Association\u003c/a> (AHCA), a national trade group for nursing homes, the current Senate bill's cuts to Medicaid could mean that a typical nursing home would eventually run deficits of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. James Gomez is the CEO of The \u003ca href=\"http://www.cahf.org/\">California Association of Health Facilities\u003c/a>, the AHCA's California chapter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"mrVakER0R6f0AToNbkAK83dprja2VTaO\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you can't break even or make a few dollars, you're not going to keep running your business,\" says Gomez. And that could lead to closures. \"So access [to nursing home beds] will become a huge issue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The repercussions of cuts and closures would be felt across the nation's health care system, says Katie Smith Sloan, the president of \u003ca href=\"http://www.leadingage.org/\">Leading Age\u003c/a>, which represents non-profit nursing homes and other services for older adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People who are in nursing homes are there because they need the kind of services that a nursing home provides\" says Sloan. \"Without those services, they'll be forced to get that kind of care in a hospital, which will simply increase costs to Medicare.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reining in Medicaid has been on conservatives' to-do list for a long time. House Speaker Paul Ryan has said he's \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/20/paul-ryan-has-wanted-to-reform-medicaid-since-his-frat-days.html\">dreamed of it\u003c/a> since his college days. Robert Moffit, a senior fellow in health policy studies at the conservative \u003ca href=\"http://www.heritage.org/\">Heritage Foundation\u003c/a>, argues that the program isn't being used as intended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Do we want Medicaid, which was a program designed for the poor and the indigent, to become a kind of backdoor mechanism to establish a middle class entitlement for long-term care? Medicaid was never really intended to do that,\" says Moffit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate bill is likely to change. But leader Mitch McConnell has indicated that Medicaid cuts will still be part of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Private pay patients also pay more than Medicaid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gardner says he's an optimist. Whatever Congress does, he doesn't think that Victoria Care Center would close down, though there might have to be cuts in staff and in the costs of food and supplies. Also, Gardner says that Victoria Care Center is part of a chain of 200 facilities, which could cushion the blow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone is as optimistic as he is. According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ahcancal.org/Pages/Default.aspx\">American Health Care Association\u003c/a> (AHCA), a national trade group for nursing homes, the current Senate bill's cuts to Medicaid could mean that a typical nursing home would eventually run deficits of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. James Gomez is the CEO of The \u003ca href=\"http://www.cahf.org/\">California Association of Health Facilities\u003c/a>, the AHCA's California chapter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you can't break even or make a few dollars, you're not going to keep running your business,\" says Gomez. And that could lead to closures. \"So access [to nursing home beds] will become a huge issue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The repercussions of cuts and closures would be felt across the nation's health care system, says Katie Smith Sloan, the president of \u003ca href=\"http://www.leadingage.org/\">Leading Age\u003c/a>, which represents non-profit nursing homes and other services for older adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People who are in nursing homes are there because they need the kind of services that a nursing home provides\" says Sloan. \"Without those services, they'll be forced to get that kind of care in a hospital, which will simply increase costs to Medicare.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reining in Medicaid has been on conservatives' to-do list for a long time. House Speaker Paul Ryan has said he's \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/20/paul-ryan-has-wanted-to-reform-medicaid-since-his-frat-days.html\">dreamed of it\u003c/a> since his college days. Robert Moffit, a senior fellow in health policy studies at the conservative \u003ca href=\"http://www.heritage.org/\">Heritage Foundation\u003c/a>, argues that the program isn't being used as intended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Do we want Medicaid, which was a program designed for the poor and the indigent, to become a kind of backdoor mechanism to establish a middle class entitlement for long-term care? Medicaid was never really intended to do that,\" says Moffit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate bill is likely to change. But leader Mitch McConnell has indicated that Medicaid cuts will still be part of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

The slope eroded rapidly when water flowed over the emergency weir in February, threatening to undermine the weir and unleash a catastrophic flood. DWR's concern that the weir's collapse was imminent prompted the emergency evacuation of Oroville and other communities along the Feather River -- 180,000 people in all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To try to stem erosion in the event the emergency spillway is pressed into service again, DWR's plan calls for building a huge \"cutoff\" wall on the slope beneath the weir. The water agency has said that work should be finished by November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the second construction season, contractors will rebuild the upper portion of the main spillway chute and build a massive concrete \"splash pad\" below the emergency weir -- another step intended to prevent erosion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]U[/dropcap]tah State's project is not the first time hydraulic engineers have created a model to test the design of the Oroville Dam Spillway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you've dipped your toe into the history of the dam since February's crisis -- wondering, for instance, exactly what the engineers who designed the complex had in mind when they decided to create an emergency overflow down a bare hillside -- then you may well have stumbled onto a document labeled \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3881519-HYD-510-Bureau-of-Reclamation-Hydraulics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HYD-510\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation produced the 189-page paper in 1965 to summarize the results of spillway design testing it had performed at the request of the California Department of Water Resources, which had puzzled over how to configure the structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just as a reminder, major dams need spillways to regulate the levels of the reservoirs behind them. They allow excess water to flow at a controlled rate through or around dams and prevent reservoirs from flowing over the top of the dam itself. In the case of an earthen embankment dam like Oroville, an overtopping event could erode the dam, undermine its structural integrity and lead to collapse -- a calamity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The design of the spillway at Oroville presented some special challenges, though not necessarily unique ones, because of the sheer size of the dam (you've read by this time that it's the nation's tallest) and the reservoir it would create as it held back the waters of the Feather River watershed (the reservoir, Lake Oroville, is the second-largest in the state; when it's full, it holds enough water to supply about 7 million California households for a year).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now back to HYD-510.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report describes the process of testing conducted at a Bureau of Reclamation lab in Denver, and it's full of details that might never occur to the casual spillway-watcher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, how much water the main spillway and the nearby emergency spillway were designed to handle, and under what conditions. One of the big areas of inquiry was how different configurations of the channel outside the massive spillway gates would affect the speed and turbulence of the flow heading into the spillway's concrete chute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 50 years and one major spillway crisis later, Utah State's researchers are revisiting many of the same problems.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The slope eroded rapidly when water flowed over the emergency weir in February, threatening to undermine the weir and unleash a catastrophic flood. DWR's concern that the weir's collapse was imminent prompted the emergency evacuation of Oroville and other communities along the Feather River -- 180,000 people in all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To try to stem erosion in the event the emergency spillway is pressed into service again, DWR's plan calls for building a huge \"cutoff\" wall on the slope beneath the weir. The water agency has said that work should be finished by November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the second construction season, contractors will rebuild the upper portion of the main spillway chute and build a massive concrete \"splash pad\" below the emergency weir -- another step intended to prevent erosion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">U\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>tah State's project is not the first time hydraulic engineers have created a model to test the design of the Oroville Dam Spillway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you've dipped your toe into the history of the dam since February's crisis -- wondering, for instance, exactly what the engineers who designed the complex had in mind when they decided to create an emergency overflow down a bare hillside -- then you may well have stumbled onto a document labeled \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3881519-HYD-510-Bureau-of-Reclamation-Hydraulics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HYD-510\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation produced the 189-page paper in 1965 to summarize the results of spillway design testing it had performed at the request of the California Department of Water Resources, which had puzzled over how to configure the structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just as a reminder, major dams need spillways to regulate the levels of the reservoirs behind them. They allow excess water to flow at a controlled rate through or around dams and prevent reservoirs from flowing over the top of the dam itself. In the case of an earthen embankment dam like Oroville, an overtopping event could erode the dam, undermine its structural integrity and lead to collapse -- a calamity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The design of the spillway at Oroville presented some special challenges, though not necessarily unique ones, because of the sheer size of the dam (you've read by this time that it's the nation's tallest) and the reservoir it would create as it held back the waters of the Feather River watershed (the reservoir, Lake Oroville, is the second-largest in the state; when it's full, it holds enough water to supply about 7 million California households for a year).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now back to HYD-510.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report describes the process of testing conducted at a Bureau of Reclamation lab in Denver, and it's full of details that might never occur to the casual spillway-watcher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, how much water the main spillway and the nearby emergency spillway were designed to handle, and under what conditions. One of the big areas of inquiry was how different configurations of the channel outside the massive spillway gates would affect the speed and turbulence of the flow heading into the spillway's concrete chute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
