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 city's Planning Department has to finish a preliminary environmental review of the project, which is expected to be published in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the environmental impact report, the proposal will have to go through permit approval related to construction outside of the tower's property line, under the sidewalks, according to the review panel's head, Stanford engineering professor Gregory Deierlein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If all goes well, Deierlein said, construction could begin as early as the beginning of 2020.

The Department of Building Inspection sent at least one letter to the developer to inquire about reports of excess settlement in 2009, but does not appear to have followed up again until media coverage of the problem began this summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Herrera today said city building officials did not have information on potential problems with the building until this past July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Ryan Levi contributed to this post.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",
