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.",

"content": "\u003cp>Picture a set of binoculars — only a pair the size of a low-rise building. That’s the shape of BART’s Transbay Tube — the dual-bore, 3.8-mile passageway that connects the West Oakland Station to San Francisco’s Embarcadero Station. Every weekday during peak commute hours, more than 60,000 BART riders cruise through the tube. What most don’t know is that they’re in a trench on the floor of San Francisco Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Curious listener Jennifer Schulz rides through the tube a lot and can’t help but to think: What if there was an earthquake? How safe is the Transbay Tube? Would it crack? Would bay water flood into my jam-packed BART car? Could I be trapped?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2005, BART has been undergoing a major earthquake retrofit. The final phase is expected to begin next year, finishing up some time in 2023. The cost? So far, $1.3 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Tena Rubio spoke with Tom Horton, BART’s earthquake safety manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is the Transbay Tube safe during an earthquake?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What I can say is that it’s safer than most other places people are going to be in their working day. I mean, some of the buildings downtown are obviously built to very modern standards and can survive a large earthquake. But most of the buildings in the Bay Area probably would be collapsing in the size earthquake we’re talking about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Walk us through what happens if there is an earthquake.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, we reduce the speed of the train down to 27 mph, which gives an operator plenty of time to see what’s in front of him, and see if there’s any cracking or anything of that nature. But our goal is to not stop in the Transbay Tube. If for some reason folks have to exit the train, we have protocols in place to do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What would happen? Would it leak?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tube does get leaks every now and then, as all tunnels do. And BART actually has an active program to plug those leaks when they happen. During the earthquake we expect that the earthquake forces will cause the liner to crack and then you’ll get leakage. Now the tunnel doesn’t collapse. The tunnels are plenty strong enough to stay up. But if you get too much leakage, it fills with water and that’s what we’re trying to prevent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So if it did crack, can it fill with water and flood?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have a pumping system. Part of the retrofit is to increase the size of that pumping system so you can at least slow down the rate of fill. The idea is that you can slow it down enough so that people can get out well before the tube floods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So it sounds like you’d almost want to be in the tube? That it’s safer than other areas?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unless it’s a very, very large earthquake you’d probably want to be in the tube. Now we talked about the flooding problem. So if you’re in an earthquake that large it would be problematic, but then so is everywhere else in the Bay Area. So it’s kind of a wash, if you will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To hear more from Tom Horton and the safety of the Transbay Tube, listen to the full episode of Bay Curious at the top of this article.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11618104\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11618104 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/ambubus-800x465.jpg\" alt=\"Since coming online, the fire department has only used the ambulance buses to transport patients once.

After the big one, it’s not going to be easy for \u003cem>anyone\u003c/em> to get around. So what will happen to people who really need medical care?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reporter Eli Wirtschafter learned about one unusual tool San Francisco has to address that problem: old Muni buses that have been turned into giant ambulances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea was first used on New Year’s Eve 2010, when big celebrations were planned at the Embarcadero. To provide extra medical support, the San Francisco Fire Department borrowed a 40-foot Muni bus and turned it into a makeshift mobile clinic, treating people who might have partied a little too hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From that time on, the idea of having a bus-sized ambulance “just stayed with us,” says Andy Zanoff, chief paramedic for the Fire Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mass casualty ambulances” exist, but new ones can cost around half a million dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, Muni donated two old buses it was taking out of service. Muni engineers converted the buses into ambulances over the course of six weeks, using kits purchased from a Virginia company. The project cost the city $79,000, and was supplemented by $67,000 from the Department of Homeland Security — in all, far less expensive than buying the ambulances new.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The buses are the size and shape of standard Muni buses, but inside is a different story. Most of the seats have been replaced by stretchers stacked three high. They’re also fully stocked with medical equipment, like oxygen supply gear, gloves, shears and bandages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each bus can carry up to 22 patients in all — 10 in ordinary bus seats, and 12 on the stretchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the buses lack sirens, they would travel with a police escort. In the event of a large-scale emergency, “the buses can be ready to roll in less than 30 minutes,” says Zanoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11618108\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 743px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11618108\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/ambubus_interior-1-e1505946604937.jpg\" alt=\"In a regular ambulance, “we would have cabinets where we could store all this equipment” says Zanoff.

That’s the shape of BART’s Transbay Tube — the dual-bore, 3.8-mile passageway that connects the West Oakland Station to San Francisco’s Embarcadero Station. Every weekday during peak commute hours, more than 60,000 BART riders cruise through the tube. What most don’t know is that they’re in a trench on the floor of San Francisco Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Curious listener Jennifer Schulz rides through the tube a lot and can’t help but to think: What if there was an earthquake?

I mean, some of the buildings downtown are obviously built to very modern standards and can survive a large earthquake. But most of the buildings in the Bay Area probably would be collapsing in the size earthquake we’re talking about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Walk us through what happens if there is an earthquake.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, we reduce the speed of the train down to 27 mph, which gives an operator plenty of time to see what’s in front of him, and see if there’s any cracking or anything of that nature. But our goal is to not stop in the Transbay Tube. If for some reason folks have to exit the train, we have protocols in place to do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What would happen? Would it leak?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tube does get leaks every now and then, as all tunnels do. And BART actually has an active program to plug those leaks when they happen. During the earthquake we expect that the earthquake forces will cause the liner to crack and then you’ll get leakage. Now the tunnel doesn’t collapse. The tunnels are plenty strong enough to stay up. But if you get too much leakage, it fills with water and that’s what we’re trying to prevent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So if it did crack, can it fill with water and flood?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have a pumping system. Part of the retrofit is to increase the size of that pumping system so you can at least slow down the rate of fill. The idea is that you can slow it down enough so that people can get out well before the tube floods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So it sounds like you’d almost want to be in the tube? That it’s safer than other areas?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unless it’s a very, very large earthquake you’d probably want to be in the tube. Now we talked about the flooding problem. So if you’re in an earthquake that large it would be problematic, but then so is everywhere else in the Bay Area. So it’s kind of a wash, if you will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To hear more from Tom Horton and the safety of the Transbay Tube, listen to the full episode of Bay Curious at the top of this article.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11618104\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11618104 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/ambubus-800x465.jpg\" alt=\"Since coming online, the fire department has only used the ambulance buses to transport patients once.

After the big one, it’s not going to be easy for \u003cem>anyone\u003c/em> to get around. So what will happen to people who really need medical care?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reporter Eli Wirtschafter learned about one unusual tool San Francisco has to address that problem: old Muni buses that have been turned into giant ambulances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea was first used on New Year’s Eve 2010, when big celebrations were planned at the Embarcadero. To provide extra medical support, the San Francisco Fire Department borrowed a 40-foot Muni bus and turned it into a makeshift mobile clinic, treating people who might have partied a little too hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From that time on, the idea of having a bus-sized ambulance “just stayed with us,” says Andy Zanoff, chief paramedic for the Fire Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mass casualty ambulances” exist, but new ones can cost around half a million dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, Muni donated two old buses it was taking out of service. Muni engineers converted the buses into ambulances over the course of six weeks, using kits purchased from a Virginia company. The project cost the city $79,000, and was supplemented by $67,000 from the Department of Homeland Security — in all, far less expensive than buying the ambulances new.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The buses are the size and shape of standard Muni buses, but inside is a different story. Most of the seats have been replaced by stretchers stacked three high. They’re also fully stocked with medical equipment, like oxygen supply gear, gloves, shears and bandages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each bus can carry up to 22 patients in all — 10 in ordinary bus seats, and 12 on the stretchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the buses lack sirens, they would travel with a police escort. In the event of a large-scale emergency, “the buses can be ready to roll in less than 30 minutes,” says Zanoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11618108\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 743px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11618108\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/ambubus_interior-1-e1505946604937.jpg\" alt=\"In a regular ambulance, “we would have cabinets where we could store all this equipment” says Zanoff.

If you're a regular user of any of the region's seven state-owned toll bridges -- that's all of them, except the Golden Gate Bridge -- you'll want to pay close attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 595, which won final passage Thursday and now awaits Gov. Jerry Brown's signature, provides for a vote in the nine Bay Area counties next year to raise bridge tolls by as much as $3. If the Bay Area Toll Authority, the agency that oversees the bridges, seeks that maximum $3 increase, tolls for a single crossing would be as high as $9 -- the potential rush-hour tab for a trip across the Bay Bridge. (If you're hyperventilating, just remember we're still not in Verrazano-Narrows Bridge territory; the cash toll on the span between Brooklyn and Staten Island rose to $17 earlier this year.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The higher tolls would pay for nearly three dozen transit and highway projects totaling $4.45 billion over the next 25 years.

Beall, the bill's sponsor, said in a statement after the proposal finally made it through the Assembly on Wednesday. He added that the measure is especially important in Silicon Valley. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On weekdays, an average of 602,000 vehicles enter and exit the Bay Area,\" Beall said. \"With the expansion of tech firms, such as Google and Apple, those numbers will grow.

If you're a regular user of any of the region's seven state-owned toll bridges -- that's all of them, except the Golden Gate Bridge -- you'll want to pay close attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 595, which won final passage Thursday and now awaits Gov. Jerry Brown's signature, provides for a vote in the nine Bay Area counties next year to raise bridge tolls by as much as $3. If the Bay Area Toll Authority, the agency that oversees the bridges, seeks that maximum $3 increase, tolls for a single crossing would be as high as $9 -- the potential rush-hour tab for a trip across the Bay Bridge. (If you're hyperventilating, just remember we're still not in Verrazano-Narrows Bridge territory; the cash toll on the span between Brooklyn and Staten Island rose to $17 earlier this year.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The higher tolls would pay for nearly three dozen transit and highway projects totaling $4.45 billion over the next 25 years. The complete list is \u003ca href=\"#projectlist\">at the end of this post\u003c/a>, but highlights include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>BART would get $500 million to help pay for an expanded fleet of new-generation rail cars.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>BART would get $50 million for preliminary design and engineering work on a second transbay crossing.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority would get $375 million, part of what it needs to build a planned BART extension to downtown San Jose.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Some $325 million would go to a long-dreamed-of Caltrain extension from San Francisco's far-South of Market to downtown. \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The Bay Area's Water Emergency Transportation Authority would get $300 to pay for new boats and dock facilities.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>On the highway side, $300 million in toll proceeds would go to building new paid express lanes on Bay Area freeways.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Another $1.1 billion would go to rebuilding interchanges and improving the most heavily traveled highway corridors.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Beyond the proposed spending, the bill's most notable feature might be a provision put forward by longtime BART critic Sen.

The victim was treated for a laceration to his head and transported to the hospital via ambulance with non-life threatening injuries.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>BART police identified the weapon used in the Thursday attack as a bolt cutter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second attack occurred Saturday evening on an East Bay train bound for San Francisco, police said. Here's the narrative of that incident:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>On August 5, 2017, at approximately 1930 hours, the same suspect was on a San Francisco Bound train approaching Embarcadero Station. The suspect approached a man on the train and struck the man two times in the face with a closed fist. The victim does not know the suspect. The suspect fled the scene. The victim received medical treatment at the scene for non-life threatening injuries.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>BART spokesman Jim Allison said the agency called the early-morning press conference because of concerns about possible further assaults by the suspect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The detective who was working the Thursday case saw enough similarities in the Saturday case that he was afraid he was going to attack again,\" Allison said. That prompted an overnight effort to publicize images captured on train cars near the time of the two assaults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Milpitas police \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.milpitas.ca.gov/_pdfs/MpdPressRelease/2017/PD_PR_17-008-117.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported\u003c/a> arresting Washington in January on a charge of strong-arm robbery and noted that he was wanted under a felony warrant in Oakland for allegedly violating the terms of an earlier release from state prison.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
