welcome to mosaic. through the our country, faith communities develop resource organizal structures in order to meet the social, educational and other needs of their particular community across the nation and worldwide. with us this morning is jennifer --, the ceo of the endocument fund of san francisco and the peninsula. and joining with her is tom. so let's just jump right n what is the federation? >> the federation has a simple role that is much more complicated in execution. our goal is to create a vibrant and healthy jewish community here and in eastern europe and latin america and israel as well. >> how does a vibrant community get formed? i know that a general question. but what does the faith community has for itself and an example of the rest of community? what formulates a vibrant community? >> there are three principles that are derived. and it could be strictly or literally. souers a more fix the i believe interpretation because of the diversity to the area. one is identity. bullying the nex

the artist will now put the mosaic up like this. make sure that it's adhered to the grout on the wall. then take the next piece and put it here, and make sure that it's butted up against this piece. and when all this has been done this way, and you see all this with paper, then the artist moists this with water and then he peels this paper off and you see the icon as it really is on this side. the only difference between this side and this side is that all the green you see here is gold viewed from this side. all the other colors are true on each side, on both sides. whatever you see here is on the other side except the green. that's gold on the other side. and so we have what we call byzantine art. now if you take your fingernail and you've realized that each piece of this art is about as large as your fingernail, you can imagine how many pieces are on this mosaic. and you then imagine how many pieces are on the apse mosaic. if you go from the floor to the top of the apse, we have 52 feet. so byzantine art per se, in tempera or oil

welcome back to mosaic. i'm honored to be your host. we're in the middle of oo conversation with jewish community federation and chair of the board of directors. before the break, jennifer was talking, tom, about shifts she's observed in the community. i'm wondering from your perspective what you see, as well. >> well, i think there's been almost shifts in the whole world of fi lan there pi. if we go back in our history, we used to be called jewish welfare federation. our primary goal was righteous need, taking care of people who had needs. caring for the vulnerable was our primary focus. but as the economy has developed, as the people have been successful, they are now locking to broaden their philanthropic goals. what we look for is we try to match the neesd in the community, which the federation is in a unique position to gauge because we do have a view out of the entire community. as jennifer said earlier, we engage hundreds of people from the community. to take those needs and match them with the passion of our donors, so what are

stay with us on mosaic. >>> good morning and welcome back to mosaic. i'm your host vicki evans. our guest this morning is ed hofner who is our director of marriage and family life at the archdiocese of san francisco. we were just talking a little bit about what the marriage preparation classes entail that ed puts on. you were saying that one thing getting ready for marriage, the preparation aspects and another thing is keeping the marriage going an enriching it. >> yeah. well, we do put a lot of effort in the church into marriage preparation but one thing that has become clear to me over the last three or four years is there is not a lot of things offered for couples after they're married. the marriages last 20, 30, 40, 50 years is a vocation. thank you a doctor or teacher or carpenter, electrician, you get ongoing training. with marriage, we have avenue let that slide. marriage encounter is a wonderful program for couples but not every couple can do a weekend. i've been trying to find programs that we can offer in the archdiocese for couples that would enhance their marriage. w

it's like a mosaic. if you start studying these windows, you can learn a lot about the life of the middle ages. we have the furriers we have even the sculptors and probably, it's one of the best representations of the 13th century. it's really a great documentation for us so i think the stained glass of chartres is really telling about the way people lived the way they thought the way they prayed, all their ideas and beliefs. the cathedrals of the gothic age, like chartres, were indeed, as abbot suger had said, "new works suffused by new light." in their combination of soaring stonework sculpture, and painted glass, they created an art to set beside and even surpass the works of classical antiquity. theirsas a living art which had taken centuries to come to fruition, and it still has the power to astonish us by the sheer quantity and quality of the great churches, the vast areas they covered the huge spaces they enveloped and their ethere beauty. their art originated slowly and painfully but those who ca

. >>> welcome to "mosaic." thank you for joining us. we feature today another great christian person from the bay area. that is dr. raymond e. miles. he is the professor eher us and former dean of the hoff school of business. welcome. he is born in central texas. he went through the air force, made his way to standford and finally to cal berkeley. we'll find out about him and some of his perspectives. thank you for joining us. let's take you back. where were you born and what was your growing up like? >> i was born in central texas, north central texas, named for a civil war general who was never defeated. he retreated successfully before every battle. i spent my early childhood there. i was born in 1932, so i was a depression child. and my father was one of the youngest of several siblings. and so i was the only baby born for a long period of time. and that was great for me because i was the child of the whole family. that was a delight, an absolute delight. at any rate, i spent my early days there in cleburn. my father being from texa

the share price mosaic has taken a tumble since the cartel breakup in europe. and i'm curious whether you think this downturn provides an opportunity for me and other investors. >> no, no. it doesn't have that yield protection that i like and i don't like the fertilizer market and i don't even like the ag business. and i fear there could be, believe it or not, an actual cut in the subsidies for ag in this country. the cartel has to get back for me to like mosaic. how about samir in indiana. samir? >> caller: hey, jim. thanks for taking my call. >> of course. >> caller: boo-yah from minneapolis, home of purdue. my question is on -- a zynga, a pullback and social media iranian stock. where do you think zynga is going from here, and do you think it's a takeover target? >> i don't know if it's a takeover target. you always hesitate to recommend a stock on takeover basis if the fundamentals aren't that good. but this fellow who is rung it, don mattric. it's not bad for a spec. why weren't we down more today? nasdaq was down barely a quarter percent. optimists have k

there's mosaics that are easy to clean and other grant opportunity. so for future i know we're good to be looking at throughout the city and i'd like to see more innovative ways to match dollars to biff the communities through art. thank you >> thank you, colleagues. so i want to thank the mta for the work that's done to bring this forward. i know it's been a many, many year process and a winding process in solving for a vexing issue in terms of making sure that the operators have consistent and humane access to restrooms. which this first came up i know that i and president chiu had expressed some concerns about this. i think part of it was the larger number the ultimate global number and it seemed like it was just a lot. so i think the way it mta is approaching it is the right one to go step by set up a restroom by restroom. and so i think it's a good approach. i'm prepared to support those encroachment permits. in terms of artwork. that's always a case by case situation. people may not want as mr. williams said to call attention took it i don't wan

and then directly above the very large, the huge mosaic which takes you all the way up to and right into and underneath the dome into the vault area, is the anastasis which i have mentioned earlier. anastasis, which in the western tradition is called the harrowing of hell or the descent into limbo. what is very effective is that stylistically these images are connected. for example, christ wearing the blue robe with his fluttering drapery visually connects you with the movement of the two figures in the central panel the lower figures who represent-- the woman in red is eve and the figure of adam dressed in the orange. and then if you noticed the movement of their legs and arms they point and take you visually up and towards the uppermost figure of christ who stands on what appears to be doors where, in fact they are lids of sarcophagi or lids of coffins comparable to present-day concept of coffins. and then the images which you find on the screen flanking the centrally placed images of christ and the virgin and john the baptist are local saints. but traditionally, there will always be a

this is a wonderful mosaic. >> it is wonderful. it was original to the building.tens of thousands of people cross by every day. this is the waiting area. the larger alcoves or for storage. and the big plants that would go out to meet the ferries. people would come out to meet the ferries. and then go to the trolley cars. the family of the original artisan still lives in the bay area and they come by every so often to make sure that it is in tact and being taken care of. furry little repair to it. this is the before and after, 1910 to 1960's, 1970's. this is what the building looked like during that time. it was under plywood and carpeting for about 30 years. this was amazingly preserved underneath all of that when it pulled up. >> how to the ventilate this? are these operable? h[ph>> they are not. we have a cool air intake from the bay. because of the atrium, it would be nearly impossible for any air conditioning, so we have cool air intake on the bayside. that cools the building down. when i first artwork in here, i was fascinated with all the arches, the repetit

and next on the list is replacing the backsplash with some mosaic tile.t'd be a nice improvement, all right. what i really need help with today is replacing my butcher block countertop. and so why do you want to get rid of the butcher block? 'cause it looks like it's in pretty good shape. well, i'm getting some splitting at the joints. oh, yeah, you could see that crack, and that's probably only going to get worse right there. it's pretty high-maintenance, and i'm really worried about keeping it clean and dry all the time. all right, well, there are certainly other surfaces that will do better near water, and you don't want to put a hot pot directly on a butcher block, so we can make some improvements there. and you told us that you want to use concrete. i do. and why concrete? well, it's durable, i think it's easy to maintain, and i think i can do it myself. all right, well, you can definitely do concrete countertops yourself, but you do want to do them right, and so today, to help us do them right, we've actually got an expert here to help us out. he's

it is a beautiful mosaic. it is a beautiful mix and one does not necessarily have to figure out, one can embrace all aspects of it is part and parcel of who you are. and i get that. on the other hand, if one does not figure something out, then one lives in a state of confusion and i do not know if that is where we want to be either or you want. >> is tricky because what happens is even -- i learned this i questioning my father. was i came of age and that in high school and college in the 1990s, clinical correctness -- political correctness, it everyone was something-american at that point. my father told me he did not really believe that we should, everyone should sort of assert their identity. to say african-american. even though you should be proud of where you are from. being american, the idea of america being this melting pot, he becomes a problem because it is like you're trying trying to assimilate into something that is supposed to be mixed. sortamerican thing becomes of muddled. i get that. washe same

and if we look at a big landscape scale the forest is a mosaic of trees and gaps. or: some trees are specialized by the nutrients in the soil. dr. hubbell: this species is rare. this is casearia and it only occurs in this local little area that we're in of about 100 feet by 100 feet. and there are a couple hundred individuals here t nowhere se in the pl or very rare in t rest of thelot. and so we're trying to understand why this species likes this particular place in the forest. and one idea is that this particular species likehigh-calcium soils and poor-phosphorus soils. and so thiis one area that has high calcium andow phosphorus. but other species may not be so particular. in particular, this one -- faraa -- grows everywhere and seems to be indifferent to the variation in soil nutrients. so it's much more common. narrator: unke in temperate forests, re speesarmber e commpees. that's not one, but. there you go. over there. this distribution is esstial in promoting diversity. on barro colorado island the common species only account for 15% of the total tree population compared with

mass shootings we've seen in the united states that we know is a serious problem and this fits a new mosaic that. can easily make one question what causes so many of these incidents in american society and you say that is it is very hard to be specific at the moment but talking generally about security in the u.s. is there a failing that actually the government should be doing more to improve security given that this is another machine. well the the issue we have i think is that we have a massive amount of security in places where it's highly visible where the threats are really very very low they're done for appearance sake only. america is it is a country with maybe two hundred million or more privately owned weapons. the idea of increasing security in the united states the people are very much against it they're tired of twelve years of being followed catalogue wiretapped apparently all our mail being read. people are tired of that and there is no amount of violence that's going to bring the american people to a point where they're going to want more government more watching more securit

a strenuous search for compromises among the various ethnic and religious groups that make up the mosaic of arab societies when you think we have called consistently and for the choice of the evolutionary way of development and peaceful settlement of crises through national dialogue and reconciliation. another point of view has manifested itself in attempts to determine who is legitimate or not among the leaders of the am he in a region and to impose an opinion regarding which side should be supported in domestic national conflicts and dictates from outside ready made prescriptions for democratic transformation. and the desire to portray in a simplified way developments in the arab world as the struggle of democracy against tyranny or good against evil has long obscured the problems associated with the rising wave of extremism which is spilling over into other regions today as well the terrorist attacks in kenya have demonstrated the full gravity of this threat it's common knowledge that the edge of how does groups that contain quite a few radicals coming from all parts of the world are

the region's bounty was depicted in the frescoes and mosaics of its homes. the campi flrei -the burning fields -a region of geothermal activity -lay nearby. steam from the fissures was piped into spas, mineral baths and steam rooms at the bathing complexes of baiae on the bay's northern edge. julius caesar owned a villa there on the promontory overlooking the bay. his father in law may have owned the vast villa dei papiri in herculaneum. buried under 80 feet of solidified mud by the eruption of vesuvius in 79 a.d., it was recreated in the design of the j. paul getty museum in malibu. colonnades give way to elegant interiors and courtyards adorned with reproductions of the statues unearthed at the villa dei papiri. jets of water were pumped through fountain sculptures into pools and water courses. a boozy follower of dionysus riding a bloated wine skin attests to the lighthearted side of roman life on the bay. caesar's grand-nephew augustus, rome's first emperor, liked the pleasures of the bay so much that he bought the island of capri from the city of naples
