artist display must allow for at least 8 feet of a pedestrian passageway between the edge of the galileo display and the opposite building. even though we ask for size regulations there would still remain a pedestrian passageway of 41 pete feet between the artist and building and that is the space for the required passageway. i mentioned a street artist space is 4 feet wide by 5 feet at all. and other street artist spaces on that same sidewalk you have allowed an exemption from those regulation because the street artist have larger display in filling their quality crafts. so if you will also exempt them from those size regulations, that would permit their booths to be 8 feet wide by 10 feet long by 7 feet tall as those booths are in the other spaces in that sidewalk. then finally, i wanted to say to you that you will find in the map that i had submitted with the proposal that these spaces would fall directly opposite door ways of the hotel and i was very sensitive to that and very interested to find out what the hotel manager had to say about it. he says he has no problem with that becau

the founder of modern science, galileo, worked in florence.t is the freshness of their thought, their modernity, which impresses us today. but there is another side to the story. civilized human life depends not only on modernity, but on a healthy assimilation of the past, both critical and imaginative. the middle ages had proved incapable of doing that, but here, in the florentine renaissance, we can see the reintegration of the classical world view into modern life-- not merely their learning, but their pagan humanism and their pantheism, with its incomparably rich mythological themes, which, as we now understand, contain such profound psychological insights. what we see here in florence is what they made of that tradition, just as this is what we are making of them, but its continued reinterpretation is a necessity for the west if it is to understand its own cultural tradition. the art of renaissance florence came out of the city-states of central italy. by contrast, our story of art in northern europe begins in the late medieval courts of

the title page of galileo's book on the solar system shows copernicus demonstrating to the revered ancienthilosophers aristotle and ptolemy that their view had been wrong. the earth was one of many celestial bodies, all of which obeyed the same impartial laws. at the same time europeans learned of that revelation, the discovery of the americas and the exploration of the far east revealed that europe wasn't the center of the world. inhis time of spiritual crisis provoked by the explosion of knowledge, artists sought new ways of seeing and understanding. the out-thrust left arm of the disciple startled and astonished its first viewers in 1600. it breaks into the space in which we stand. the naturalism of this painting of christ at emmaus by michelangelo merisi, known as caravaggio, was unprecedented. its intention is to convince us we're participants in this astonishing event, god's presence in the flesh. we may no longer regard the earth as unique, caravaggio seems be saying, but god has dwelt amongst us. divinity and sanctity are to be found in our midst. caravaggio went out into rome's st

shot there as mission wins the title 78-71 by the way lowell won the girls' championship against galileo how about a good hold hockey -- old hockey fight? going to have to wait because this is not a good hockey fight. there we go -- they just stand there. they didn't come to blows. they didn't do anything. isn't that something? like yeah come on. come on -- come here. we'll be off of here by the time they start swinging blows. thought you would enjoy that. >> see? >> be the not great hockey fight. >> i've seen better fights -- >> i think their mamas might be watching. >> that maybe. i don't know. >> thank you very much. all right. >>> all right, well it started out as a high speed chase but the driver ends up dead. it's the latest in a series of bay area shootings in the last three dies, more on -- days. more on why officers opened fire in the middle of a san jose neighborhood. that story and more in just half an hour. >>> but again a reminder for the rain is it's not going to be significant. >> anything we see overnight tonight through tomorrow morning will be measured in a few one hund

been made with astronomical telescopes the last two decades are like the difference between using galileo's telescope one day and using hubble telescope today. an amazing achievement. >> derrick pitts, thanks so much. i'm ed schultz. ezra klein is filling in for rachel maddow tonight. >> thanks to you for joining us tonight. rachel has a very well-deserved night off. we begin tonight with election day. you remember election day when democrats put their plan for taxes and their plan for spending up against the republican plan for taxes and the republican plan for spending? election day. the democrats said we should raise taxes on the wealthy and make targeted spending cuts. republicans said no new taxes at all and cut programs for the poor like medicaid and food stamps and housing system and so on. these were the competing approaches in 2012 on election day. barack obama and joe biden versus mitt romney and republican budget guru, paul ryan. president obama won on election day. he won with just over 51% of the vote. it wasn't a huge margin but significant and enough we do not have to stay up

john paul when he was put in place, john paul ii, you saw changes like recognizing past wrongs like galileo and with pope benedict, you see the prevention of hiv. >> bill: whoa jason. yeah. i would hope we would see major changes with a new pope. the changes, i think, are a fraction of what is needed in the catholic church tom a just to modern times. i think that the fact that pope -- that every one of these popes who are voting now were appointed by either john paul ii or benedict xvi, which means there is no chance you have a pope who thinks any differently than they did and i don't see any choice of getting a pope to move the church forward >> caller: thanks. i am addicted to this show. i think the reason the mainstream immediate intra is doing this coverage is every other day bill o'reilly sean hannity, accusing the mainstream press of being secular, destroying the values of this country. it's like the political coverage. they are so sensitive to being called biased and liberal with theirplic political coverage they say both sides are equal. see, we are not secular. we are very religiou

the inquisition tried silce galileo, but the enlightenment happened anyway and the earth does still spin around the sun. chris macantee, director of the american geophysical union, has said -- "limiting access to this kind of climate information won't make climate change go away." and and directors of corporations should consider what will it mean for the corporations that use their power to express the truth once that truth becomes inescapable? once it is undeniable and the denial campaign is seen as a fraud. this republican policy of climate change denial is alive and well at the state level, too. in 2010, virginia attorney general ken cuccinelli used his powers of office to harass former university of virginia climatologist michael mann and 39 other climate scientists and staff. as a u.v.a. grad, i am proud that the university fought back against this political attack on science and on academic freedom. said u.v.a., the attorney general's action and the potential threat of legal prosecution, of scientific endeavor that has satisfied peer-reviewed standards send a chilling message to s

more discoveries, the most important telescope since galileo invented the first one. i can't tell you how bad i feel that we're not at least giving them a .05% pay raise. and they're facing sequester which could mean for many of them a 20% pay cut if they are furloughed. now, i said earlier i visited n.i.h. to see what was the impact of sequester. there was dr. mary greigner from hopkins who was there also. she just won the nobel prize two years ago. our kind of -- you know, we're really proud of her. and we -- n.i.h. said within the week of our arrival -- i mean, my arrival there to meet with them, as i've done so often, they cut cancer rates 15%. instead of pinning medals on them, we say, you don't get a pay raise. hey, we have more important things to do with the money. you are a problem. i don't think they're a problem. i don't think they're a problem at all. i think they're part of the solution, coming up with helping compelling human need and creating jobs in our country in life sciences and giving us something to sell overseas. i think it's wrong to keep asking
