"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

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>After three years of back-and-forth with Santa Clara County, Stanford University pulled a shocker last week by dropping its bid to build another 3.5 million square feet of academic facilities and student housing over the next 15 years. What happened?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://news.stanford.edu/2019/11/01/stanford-withdraws-general-use-permit-application/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement\u003c/a> explaining their decision to pull out of applying for what’s called a general use permit, Stanford officials wrote that “feasibility” was a big issue and obliquely referenced a tug of war with county supervisors over how to mitigate the consequences of future growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we are stepping back from this permit process, we will be launching a new phase of engagement with our local communities,” the statement said. “We hope to gain deeper mutual understanding of the challenges facing our region, how Stanford can best enhance its contribution to addressing those challenges, and what the implications are for our longer-term campus development.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the heart of this conflict is the impact Stanford’s size has on the region. Increasingly, surrounding communities are asking whether the university should do more to address its role in Silicon Valley’s housing crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Amulya Yerrapotu, Stanford student\"]“The question here today is not whether Stanford is a good school.

It’s unique, in fact, in Santa Clara County planning,” said Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian, who led the county’s negotiations with Stanford. “It’s an opportunity for the university to plan longer term, over a 15-20 year horizon. But the challenge is always going to be the same with any developer out there. The applicant always wants what they want, and they want to give up as little as possible to get it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps 20 years ago, when the last general use permit was approved, 3.5 million square feet and 9,610 more faculty, staff and students would not have caused much of a stir in Santa Clara County offices. But times have changed, and the 9,610 comes on top of a Stanford community numbering near 34,000 people, including undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, faculty and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Who Owns Silicon Valley?\" tag=\"who-owns-silicon-valley\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That makes Stanford as big as some of the tech titans of Silicon Valley, and like those major employers, Stanford finds itself engaged now in a new public conversation about its physical footprint in the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June, the county’s planning commission unanimously voted to recommend that the supervisors approve Stanford’s application, but if and only if Stanford agreed to certain changes. One of their top demands would have been a requirement that Stanford \u003ca href=\"https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/countyofsantaclara/pages/16/attachments/original/1558655720/Attachment_F_General_Use_Permit_Conditions_of_Approval.pdf?1558655720\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quadruple the amount of housing\u003c/a> it was originally proposing to build.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s one example of the “full mitigation” county officials were demanding, insisting the university offset all of its expected impacts to local housing, traffic and schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, for instance, at a recent public meeting in Palo Alto, Stanford senior Amulya Yerrapotu spoke on behalf of \u003ca href=\"https://scope2035.weebly.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SCOPE 2035,\u003c/a> a student group lobbying Stanford to house more of its own service workers and other staff. “The question here today is not whether Stanford is a good school,” Yerrapotu said. “It’s about who gets to reap the benefit of development and who has to bear the costs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its press release last week — Stanford declined to comment beyond that — officials said they’d come around to delivering all of the housing the county asked for. But that followed months of back- and-forth, including a well-publicized \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11757024/stanford-wants-to-expand-and-hopes-4-7-billion-in-mitigations-will-help\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">counterproposal\u003c/a> and at least two lawsuits brought by Stanford, \u003ca href=\"https://padailypost.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/stanford-dismiss-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one\u003c/a> of which was thrown out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for traffic mitigations stipulated by the county, Stanford concluded in its press release they were simply unfeasible.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb class=\"\">Stanford’s Footprint in Silicon Valley\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“I’m writing a book about the 1960s,” said Lenny Siegel, former Mountain View mayor turned housing advocate. “I dug out a flyer about how Palo Alto had more than twice as many jobs as employed residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today is a different story. Off campus, the region around Stanford has grown crowded in the last half-century. Nobody blames Stanford entirely for today’s housing crisis, but Stanford does get a lot of the credit for launching Silicon Valley back in the 1950s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boom after Silicon Valley boom has packed the Peninsula with people, creating traffic jams and a housing crisis the likes of which California has never seen before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silicon Valley’s tech boom has \u003ca href=\"https://www.urbandisplacement.org/map/sf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">displaced\u003c/a> many of those making less money, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ve stopped working in the region.

He joined an exclusive coterie of ultra-wealthy people and owned both a mansion on Nob Hill in San Francisco and a country estate south of the city. He grew grapes and raised horses on a stretch of land that grew to rival the rancheras of the Spanish colonial era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He might have faded into history if not for a tragedy that struck the family in 1884 when his 15-year-old son, Leland Jr., died of typhoid fever while touring Italy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With no heir to pass on all their wealth to, the grief-stricken parents decided to launch a university.

She’s the \u003ca href=\"https://www.collegeterrace.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">College Terrace Residents Association’s\u003c/a> “Stanford observer.” She argues that Stanford’s choice to absorb properties off-campus to secure housing for its employees is drying up the pool of available housing for others in the community.

One of the requirements that the Department of Education has is, they want to know for each major and each university, how many students graduated with loans and how much the average loan was for those students. When you can bring all of that together and look at the Bay Area, Stanford actually has the lowest average for their students. They also have very few students who take out loans, which is kind of part of this process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RL:\u003c/strong> And how much are we talking about? What kind of loan debt are these students leaving with on average?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LC\u003c/strong>: On average they’re leaving with about $14,000. UC Berkeley is the next closest one. The CSUs, San Francisco State, San Jose State, CSU East Bay, are pretty close — they range from about $15,000 to about $17,000 on average. So not a massive difference, but $3,000 can go a long way before or after college, and that’s [just] the average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RL\u003c/strong>: And so, is this simply a case of private schools being able to give out more financial aid, outweighing their often higher attendance costs?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LC\u003c/strong>: Absolutely. That’s a huge part of it. Stanford has a $26.5 billion endowment. So that gives them a lot of latitude to subsidize a lot of their students. They also have a lot of students who don’t need any financial aid, who are able to pay out of pocket. A CSU might serve a more lower-income, broader base of students. So [Stanford] has the resources, they have the donors, they have that infrastructure to give it a lot more money than a state school does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RL\u003c/strong>: Now, you look specifically at federal student loan debt. Is there any way to know if this conclusion holds true when you factor in private loans?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LC\u003c/strong>: What we found is that it is pretty close. About $20,000 is the average for the most recent graduating class [at Stanford], and that’s about the same as the CSUs. It is much lower than most other private schools where the average, including non-federally subsidized private loans, is about $25,000 to $27,000. So even if you take into account those non-federal loans, it is still very, very low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RL\u003c/strong>: And has this always been the case at Stanford?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LC\u003c/strong>: This is actually a conscious decision that Stanford made for the 2008-09 school year, where they said, “OK, let’s reimagine how we present this package. Let’s take loans out of the equation. How much can parents pay? We’ll cover the rest.” So since then, they’ve seen about two-thirds of their students graduate without any loans at all. That number is down to about 19 percent. And the average has stayed about flat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

So even if you take into account those non-federal loans, it is still very, very low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RL\u003c/strong>: And has this always been the case at Stanford?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LC\u003c/strong>: This is actually a conscious decision that Stanford made for the 2008-09 school year, where they said, “OK, let’s reimagine how we present this package. Let’s take loans out of the equation. How much can parents pay? We’ll cover the rest.” So since then, they’ve seen about two-thirds of their students graduate without any loans at all. That number is down to about 19 percent. And the average has stayed about flat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Other patients get an electric shock to get back into rhythm, or are prescribed blood thinners to counter the stroke-causing blood clots that untreated a-fib can spur. A-fib causes 130,000 deaths and 750,000 hospitalizations a year in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How do doctors check for it?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A-fib is most common in older adults, and other risks include high blood pressure or a family history of arrhythmia. But routine screening isn't recommended for people without symptoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies haven't yet proved that early detection from screening would prevent enough strokes to outweigh risks from unnecessary testing or overtreatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How does the Apple Watch check for it?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A mobile app uses the optical sensor on certain versions of the watch to analyze pulse rate data. If it detects enough variation from beat to beat over a 48-hour period, the user receives a warning of an irregular heart rhythm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest version of the Apple Watch also allows wearers to push a button to take an EKG and share the reading with doctors. Saturday's study didn't include watches with that capability.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Does the new study show mass screening is a good idea?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>No. The study was designed to tell how the watch compared to a week of standard EKG monitoring — not if the wearer's health improved because the screening uncovered the arrhythmia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To prove if detecting a-fib early lowers risk of stroke would require years of study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And since the study didn't have a comparison group getting routine EKGs, there's no way to know if the watch missed heartbeat problems, giving a false sense of security, Kovacs said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The puzzling low numbers of alarms might be because most participants were young or middle-aged, not the seniors who are most at risk for a-fib, he said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

At the time, only 2,300 or so people lived in this unincorporated area. The community consisted of a couple hotels, a few bars and other businesses, largely clustered around a Southern Pacific train station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford University, then as now, was the primary landowner in the area. When the federal government starting casting about for 32 training camp locations nationwide, the campus put itself forward for duty, and also rent money. Camp Fremont leased 68,000 acres – including 7,000 acres at Stanford – between San Carlos to the north and Los Altos to the south.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Located conveniently near San Francisco, the rolling hills of the Peninsula seemed an excellent choice for artillery practice. Military officials thought the geography was not too different from what the soldiers might encounter in France. The camp was named after John Fremont, (so I wasn’t that far off), and construction began in earnest in the fall of 1917. Numerous Stanford students and faculty enlisted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By January of 1918, more than 28,000 men of the Eighth Division were installed on this sprawling base that also included parts of what now know as Portola Valley. Nick Skrabo, a young boy during World War I, wrote of his memories of that time, vignettes later donated to the town archives:\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\">\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We had seen great columns of soldiers tramp past our school, four abreast and stretching from Harry Hallett’s [846 Portola Road] to W. Jelich’s place. There were many horses and mules pulling artillery. They went to the Skyline Road to practice. From there they fired artillery shells to the near top of the Tea Garden Ranch [near Los Trancos Woods] 4 or 5 miles away. Sometimes they had the band with them. As they approached the school, the teacher would dismiss us for a few minutes while they played some army songs.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11705665\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11705665\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33834_Photo-Nov-10-2-24-45-PM-qut-800x686.jpg\" alt=\"The Menlo Park Historical Association recently installed signage in Fremont Park to explain the history.

When the federal government starting casting about for 32 training camp locations nationwide, the campus put itself forward for duty, and also rent money.

Military officials thought the geography was not too different from what the soldiers might encounter in France.

Numerous Stanford students and faculty enlisted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By January of 1918, more than 28,000 men of the Eighth Division were installed on this sprawling base that also included parts of what now know as Portola Valley.

Given the “Red Scare” at the time, soldiers would have likely also presumed they were there to bolster the armies of the White movement against the Bolshevik Red Army.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Postovoit gives a hat tip to philatelist named \u003ca href=\"https://edithfaulstich.wordpress.com/page/3/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Edith Faulstich\u003c/a>, who took an interest in this chapter of history and wrote a book, now out of print, called “The Siberian Sojourn.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In truth, the U.S. was more concerned about its ostensible ally Japan than it was about Moscow. Initially, the Imperial Japanese Army planned to send more than 70,000 troops to occupy Siberia, a plan scaled back because of opposition from the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This helps to explain why soldiers were not relieved of their Siberian duties until 1920, long after World War I ended in late 1918.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11705668\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11705668\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33833_Photo-Nov-10-2-32-53-PM-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Little remains besides this pocket park in downtown Menlo Park to remind locals of Camp Fremont, where more than 28,000 U.S. Army soldiers were trained during WWI.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33833_Photo-Nov-10-2-32-53-PM-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33833_Photo-Nov-10-2-32-53-PM-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33833_Photo-Nov-10-2-32-53-PM-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33833_Photo-Nov-10-2-32-53-PM-qut-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33833_Photo-Nov-10-2-32-53-PM-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Little remains besides this pocket park in downtown Menlo Park to remind locals of Camp Fremont, where more than 28,000 U.S. Army soldiers were trained during WWI. \u003ccite>(Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As for Camp Fremont, the buildings were packed up or auctioned off, and by April 1920, only a handful of landmarks remained to remind locals of what happened here during those war years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
