he's our guest today on mosaic. andy, thanks for being with us. >> thank you. happy to be here. >>> you are quite the guy, and i don't want to say you're wearing your heart on your sleeve, but you do have a mission shirt on! >> we have these shirts on sale at our mission store, and all the other california mission shirts. >>> are they wash and wear? they dry nicely? >> yes. >>> andy, if there's one show i would want to have more time for, it's this one. you have so much to tell us. the california missions, you do pilgrimages to the mission. as present, the missions in california -- i'm from philadelphia -- kind of like independence mall in philadelphia. they are there and they are terrific and they are huge, but they get overlooked. >> right. >>> tell us about it. how many are there? >> well, the california missions, main thing to remember-- >> you're the curator. >> san francisco, been there since 2004. my claim to fame, the reason i would say bill justice hired me, not because i was qualified and knew something about california missions, but in the year 1794,

thank you for being with us on mosaic.

>>> welcome to mosaic on this summer morning. we're glad you're joining us. we'll do a profile of a religious bay lead ere. -- leader. we're excited to introduce james emmerson. he's the president of the calvary presbyterian church here. he's just turned 85 years old and we're delighted to celebrate his birthday and bring him to you. towards the end, we wanted to get about your book, it's, forgiveness the key to a creative life. you were talking about forgiveness a long, long time ago. you're a pips will boy? -- peninsula boy? >> yes, my dad taught at stanford. i grew up there. my dad was sick most of my growing days. he had tuberculosis from world war i. i also got it from him. i really start out as being a consequence of the trenches of world war i. that's where he got the tuberculosis and ultimately, i got it from him. i didn't start school until the 3rd grade. i was home schooled and then, into the catholic school and all of that and then stanford and then went to princeton for seminary. >> let me go back, being with tuberculosis, that was very, very seri

another one this morning created for the italian magazine, "panorama" showed a mosaic of steve jobs madets. >> if we can zoom in on that, we can see that more. and one more we have. a political cartoonist drew this, showing steve jobs in heaven. saying i have an of for that. >> how aptly fitting is that. >> get rid of the paperwork at the gates of heaven. >> very nice. >>> it's amazing what you see out of the back window sometimes. case in point, check out these two. >> some bear cubs seem to be having a great time as theyd th. they were just getting comfortable. but you just knew this wasn't going to last. >> no way. eventually some restlessness leads to catastrophe. and both of them ended up back right where they started, on the ground. >> none the worse for the wear. i have two, young sons. you could replace my sons for the bears. look at that. >> hammocks are comfortable. but not easy to get in there. >> that's part of the fun, falling. >> falling out of it after the experience. >> fall on your backside. >>> all right, with halloween around the corner, our next story is thanks to our

authority and cup organizing committee we will put together that mosaic of what it is to bring america's cup events in 2012 and 2013. one last, i guess, strategic note is by seeing these events -- and i think the two questions about how many people have come to them, i think that is helping us form our initial strategies for the 2012 events. and i think that has always been part of our strategy to use the 2012 events as really a testing ground for a lot of the things such as the transportation strategies and people plan or the management of the parks. i think that we want to learn from day to day and week to week how that is to do this size of event so it comes out without a hitch in 2013 so aware excited about not only having the opportunity in 2012 to see this new concept of america's cup racing but to see what it means to have this type of want in san francisco and what we can do to make it better in 2013. i guess the last piece is coming forward over the course of the fall will be more defined plans as to the actual real estate aspects of the transaction, to do with where the venues will be, spectator venues. i thin

on your nbc station. en >>> sometimes history is right under your nose. deep below the surface in bulgaria, archaeologists have unearthed a mosaic dating back to the third century. the depiction of a man and two women could be the region's first illustration of dionysus inside what might are been a shrine to the greek god. the design is so complex it suggests the work was created by a master. >>> a few showers aren't such a bad thing especially when this is the result. heavy rainfall in eastern china created a spectacular cloud scape floating atop the peaks of the mountains. tourists who have seen it call it a sea of clouds. the area is known for beautiful scenery, especially during this time of year when periods of heavy rain are quite common. >>> so, if you're going to jump off a building, why not make a splash? an expert base jumper showed off his skills doing a flip off the tallest building in mexico, making my palms sweat, for this retired air force parachute jumper who has a record of almost 2500 jumps, the fall from the 600-foot tall building looks like just another day at the office. you know, hey, why not throw in the flip there? >> all the viewers mis

one of the residential buildings. and the other residential buildings. i hope this shows you the great variety of artists have created that consists of sculptures and paintings and mosaics and reliefs and the art piece together with the open space is located most of the time and is wonderful in areas sprinkled all over downtown and make the downtown so human and enjoyable. thank you very much. >> thank you, commissioners. i also have a little power point. hopefully it will stay on the table here. and a little bit about the downtown plan and you know a lot about that. and one we might want to look at for re-examination and in fact, i do have some more public comments that were delivered to us. and it was developed under the assumption of office employment downtown. >> and this would provide new revenue sources with the costs necessary for urban service improvements and created by the need for housing transit, child care, open space, and art. and the arts requirement is in third quarters 429 of the planning code and provides the construction or addition of any new use upgraded in 25,000 square feet within the c3 district and to 1% of the construction cost towards the prov

mosaic that is san francisco. i want to tell you that along with my colleagues at the board of supervisors, along with the mayor, san francisco is coming together on this issue. we have to make sure that something that happened that was very special in the 1970's, when california stood up and said we want to look to the future, we respect and value every one in our community, when we created these centers. we wanted to make sure that we were respecting our seniors and what you have done to raise us, what you have done to build our communities, what you have done it to take care of this generation's that came out behind you. we have to remember that california is not going to forget all of you. [cheers and applause] and i have to say, we like to do things differently in san francisco, but sacramento has to change. and when we come together with one voice, talking with 10 of voices, talking with thousands of voices, governor jerry brown -- can you hear us? can you hear us? we have these incredible adult day health centers in every community in our city, reflecting every part of diverse san francisco. and i want to let you know that your elected offi

mosaics, every bus shelter a work of art. transit so great you don't want your car. now, only the rich can afford to live here. but another city is possible. let's declare a moratorium on building houses for the wealthy. we have 24 billionaires'. that's enough. we need housing for poor workers, middle-class families, artists. these people are the backbone and soul of san francisco. they deserve to live here. where will the money come from? a few ideas -- one, a municipal bank of san francisco will get the interest on its own pension funds instead of giving it to bankamerica. second, dumppg &e to have public power. that would give us lower rates. 3, the rich must pay their fair share in taxes. money is being sucked upward as i speak. let's bring it back down. taxes the rich. duh. in this era of white -- right wing at renters and passes aggressive -- it is time for a woman, it is time for a green, it is time for san francisco to woman up and become the city outsiders already think it is. remember, ranked joyce voting gives you the freedom to vote your heart. if my ideas excite you, make me your number one choice. eight other city is possible. -- another city as possible.

on it and they will in several hours. george kiriyama, nbc bay area news. >> and that memorial for steve jobs growing there. >> that is so cool. it almost looks like a mosaic instead of post-its. >>> let's turn things over to jeff ranieri. it was warm today. what can we expect tomorrow? >> even hotter. i was going to bring my iphone out to show you how in need of repair it is. so hopefully i can get out there tomorrow and maybe get me an iphone. today we had 88 in livermore. close to 90 in santa rosa. but just not there quite yet today. it is still mild in san francisco. fog-free conditions right now. 70 degrees and from another reporting station in downtown san francisco, 75. this is warmer than where we should be for our daytime highs in and throughout the city by the way. cooling off a little bit there in livermore with 65. and 64 currently in santa cruz. let's get to the weather headlines. tomorrow morning, the fog will be well back at the coastline and it's going to be mild. so maybe a beach day on friday. also, right back up against the coastline and eventually in my seven-day forecast, we have cooling coming. satellite radar, it is clear here from s

one day getting married. >> yeah. i interviewed 200 women from all walkses of life. it's a mosaicom a swinging couple to a couple that's been together for 70 years. the happiest, most fulfilled women have a sense of passion and purpose in their own identity outside of marriage. >> now, you also weave in your own personal story of marriage which i think a lot of people would wonder how you make it work. you take off summers from your husband. we're talking six weeks or more. how do you do that? >> one of my favorite chapters in the book is called separate summers. i say to my wives out there who maybe their husbands like to go on three-week golf vacations and they want to go with their girlfriends to greece or take a pottery class back home, you don't have to be twined together as one. women in their early 90s are the fastest growing segment of the population. so many of us could be married 40, 50, 60, 70 years. let's talk about newlyweds. the myths of american marriage for so long is that it's happily ever after. although our culture for 30 years or so, we've had a 50% divorce rat

put boots on the ground in syria and not willing to do imlg for the same things that cadauchy is doing in libbia. it is impossible to take the various facts and come up with a coherent mosaicobama's foreign policy. >> republican senator jim inhofe is supportive of this. there are other bipartisan notes of support, charles. but there are, you know, concerns that where does this lead? what does this mean? if someone dies here and if they are engaged in fighting? >> it's very small scale. the intent is want to go in and to fight. their orders are to assist, inform, to give intelligence to defend themselves if necessary. but as you say, there is a long history here. somalia is the biggest example where it was entirely innocent. it was supposed to be an operation, purely to feed the starving. what could be a more elevated humanitarian operation. we know how it ended. you get caught up in these wars. these are petty, small, tribal wars, huge casualties, a lot of suffering, but for a world super power to get involved and not be aware what it can lead to, i think can be a big mistake. >> last thing, quickly, the rems rems -- the rems -- the release of this i. you don't dump it on

mosaic. i'm not a shrink. >> we like it. a great book. >> thank you. >> thank you so much. >> based on our next guest, maybe it should be a pinksinger of the rock era. >> she loves visiting new york city and debbye turner bell caught up with aretha on the streets of manhattan. >> reporter: if there were any doubts about aretha franklin still reigns supreme as the queen of soul. in the two seconds we have been standing out here, you're gathering a crowd. they were quickly laid to rest on this new york city sidewalk. on her recent trip to the big apple. >> i just want a hot dog with red onions. >> reporter: miss franklin allowed us to spend the day with her as she enjoyed her favorite tastes. >> you have to have a hot dog off the corner when you come to new york. it's like really being in new york! >> reporter: and. >> hello, how are you? >> reporter: treated herself to some fancy footwear. >> i have that shoe. i bought that shoe here. >> reporter: do you know how many shoes you own? >> i don't count them. i just keep buying them. >> reporter: while shoes may be a weakness. ♪ we're riding on the freeway >> reporter: franklin's s
