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 power washer made quick work of the algae, but as Nekimken moved deeper into the water, the growth on the pile was more significant. Closer to the mud line at the base of the pile, Nekimken found thick clusters of barnacles and mussels. As he sprayed the thick growth near the bottom, the water clouded darkly around him, and he lost visibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the pile was cleaned of growth, Nekimken was able to inspect the surface of the pile for fractures. The concrete piles can be easily fractured during an earthquake. These small fractures are not an immediate concern, as the rebar inside the pile will still hold it together. The danger lies in the slow process of saltwater seeping through cracks and reaching the steel rebar inside. The saltwater slowly corrodes the steel, which over time begins to swell, further cracking and weakening the strength of the pile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If divers discover a pile with hairline fractures, they can easily seal them on the spot. If they find a pile with significant damage, they will return later, surround the pile with scaffolding, and pour fresh concrete around the damaged pile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10826329\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-10826329\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/diver_piles-1440x942.jpg\" alt=\"Rows of cement piles support a deck at the Port of Oakland.

The concrete piles can be easily fractured during an earthquake. These small fractures are not an immediate concern, as the rebar inside the pile will still hold it together. The danger lies in the slow process of saltwater seeping through cracks and reaching the steel rebar inside. The saltwater slowly corrodes the steel, which over time begins to swell, further cracking and weakening the strength of the pile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If divers discover a pile with hairline fractures, they can easily seal them on the spot. If they find a pile with significant damage, they will return later, surround the pile with scaffolding, and pour fresh concrete around the damaged pile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10826329\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-10826329\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/diver_piles-1440x942.jpg\" alt=\"Rows of cement piles support a deck at the Port of Oakland.
