the art of renaissance florence came out of the city-states of central italy.y contrast, our story of art in northern europe begins in the late medieval courts of france. it was a time of violent contrasts. in the luxury of the court, the duke enjoys his banquet while the peasants shelter from the snow. in their hovel, they bare themselves by the fire. these illuminations were painted around 1414 by three brothers from the netherlands-- the limbourgs--at the court of the duke of berry. the detailed realism of these faces and landscapes was a feature of northern art in this period.

of the loans that renaissance does, we actually are not a loan fund. what we do is repackaged loans for our clients, and then we can work with groups like working solutions to get those loans funded. working solutions has been magnificent in both providing support for our clients and in the follow-up support that they provide as well. their rates are superb. and certainly the clients we work with our 80% at low to moderate income. when they agreed businesses, they are creating at least one job, which is full employment for the business owner themselves. with this additional funds, i think it is really the best way to get more capital into the hands of business owners who are either starting are growing their businesses. thank you. supervisor chu: next speaker, please. >> hello. i am is small business owner and have a small company. we're based in the mission. we sell to about 400 stores throughout the country. mostly made in the usa but it is also an immigrant and have lived here for 10 years. i first reached out to renaissance and got business educati

[laughter] >> stephen: i'm going to ask you a very personal question that one of my writers provided. it goes like this: your music is emotionally evocative. hype theltically, one of my writers can't listen to the album without thinking of 2006. he had a crush on a friend who made it clear that nothing was going to happen, but after halloween party where he was dressed up as gay and lincoln and she was dressed as raggedy ann, they made out for hours with that album repeating all night only the have her say next day it was a big mistake, she loved somebody else. can you suggest how he could get that association out of his head so he can listen to your music again?

it makes a poignant visual metaphor for the fragmented image of the renaissance that's come down to usand it also serves to remind us of the insuperable practical difficulties that sometimes separated an act of high artistic imagination from its concrete physical realization in actual works of art. with the last supper, the problem was that leonardo had the ambition of developing new methods for wall painting, and from a technical point of view, that turned out to be catastrophic. the painting began to decay as soon as it was finished. in other heroic enterprises, like michelangelo's tomb for pope julius ii or bramante's designs for the new saint peter's, the ambitious scale of the project itself doomed it eventually incometion, reduction, or transformation. yet if we look carefully at the fragmented remains of the last supper, we can discern a complex work. christ sits stable and calm at the center of a storm. the disciples surround him as though rolled back by a burst of energy, each reacting in a different way to the accusation, "one of you shall betray me." the disciples are young

i first reached out to renaissance and got business education through them. through their amazing helping, and managed to get to know working solutions. they gave me a loan for $2,500 from the city's revolving fund, which really helped my business greatly. dizziness secret that -- it is no secret that the business needs money to grow. we're putting every penny we earn back into the business. it is for inventory and to hire more workers. we can grow yearly with the money. i got $2,500 from them and grew my business 210% since then. we're on the path to growth 200% again this year. getting the fuel to grow my business is essential. and there are connections on the the follow-up which is great. i managed to get two different mentors, a retired ceo's, amazing people who mentor five hours a month for free. i am really, really grateful for the support. i encourage you to keep doing this. if you want to see this type of growth in san francisco business, you need to help fuel the growth through the small business was because i cannot get the bank funding that i neede

even working in the rarified company of such other renaissance maers as michelangelo and leonardo da vinci, raphael was the most popular and most beloved artist of his time. for the past five centuries, his vision has influenced both the art of painting and our image of the christ child, the madonna, and many other sacred subjects. raphael's paintings have been among the most coveted in the world. through the efforts of american collectors, we are fortunate that many of this master's works have ended up in public museums. today, raphael's genius continues to inspire us. narrator: raphael sanzio was born april 6, 1483, in urbino, a great center of italian renaissance culture. his father, a poet d painter, instild in the young artist an unquenchable curiity and ambition. raphael's remarkable artistic talent developed early, the leading umbrian painter, pietro perugino. raphael's early rk reflected perugino's influence, buthe student soon overshadowed his teacher, breaking from perugino's traditional style to create mo dynamic spatial composions and arrangements of figures. at the age o

so, this gives them access and allows them to take part in this new renaissance of american.nd we have to build these institutes all across the country. i want it everywhere. to do that, we need congress to act. hmm.

we've got a tremendous renaissance going on today, basically for this new technology that's gone on. the entire bakken could not have been developed with vertical wells and without basically horizontal drilling that's turned it on and all the demolition work that goes with it. >> how many people have you made rich? how many people have you got i don't know jobs, good salaries, opened up hotels, had secondary and tertiary economic effects? how many people do you reckon you've made rich with this? >> the number's too gate. i don't know. >> lastly, you're advising governor romney on these issues. can you give as you quick pencil sketch, what's mr. romney saying? >> just like spro, that's a strategic reserve, therefore a national emergency, not a political emergency, because romney is up some 8 points ahead in recent polls. that's not what it's for. what we need to be doing is developing our own resources and becomes will dependent on foreign oil. we have the ability to do that today. you talk about the reserve. 2%? who are we kidding in we've been producing 10% of the world's production

tavis: so we need not worry about a political renaissance of duvalier. >> i do not think so. tavis: you have hit on something fascinating. i take your point that we have no business taking a nose into their affairs. we have done that too many times. and sometimes in the wrong places, wilwhich is another conversation. what is it to your mind about the haitian people that allows them to be so peaceful, as it were, toward this man -- to use your word "unaccoste." i have not heard any word of him being accosted on the street. what is it about the people that allow them to except his return? is it because they are that for giving a people? is it that they have other things on their mind? is it let bygones be bygones? is it about truth and reconciliation as you mentioned earlier? given all that he did come including killing people, just let it pass? >> i would put it this way. i will use an american context. i think that we could -- and i do not mean by any means to make a comparison of human rights abuses or killings, although there is an aspect of that historical here -- what is

they were renaissance and gothic in nature, thus the gothic room. you know, the america's cup races are coming up. the trials next summer in newport and in other sailing capitals around the world. very sad for newporters, and actually the united states. the america's cup was lost in 1983, and the cup was handed from the american team to the australians, right here. so next summer, in june, the trials will come back to newport. it will be the first time in 20-plus years. we're very excited that perhaps newport will regain its reputation as being the best site for sailing anywhere in the world. and one of the people who madend vanderbilt, have been been a skipper of an america's cup yacht, having won over the years and he's the son of alva and william k. vanderbilt. this is consuelo's bedroom. here's this young woman who is crazy about another man, not the duke of marlboro. her mother has just, what many believe has faked a heart attack. her mother's friend has said, consuelo, you need to do something to help get your mother back in good health. of co

undocumented, across the last 200 years and particularly in the last 25 years and with the great renaissance of data that we now have at our disposal to analyze more clearly the impact of all types of immigration from 1990 forward, we realize that immigrants, again, skilled and unskilled, lawful and undocumented, bring to the effort of community building and business building and economy building something that is moderately intangible for now. if we work at it for a few more years it will be tangible and we will be able to quantify part of it. it's something that represents itself in generational achievement both for those immigrants who arrive, who form small businesses at a rate which is disproportionately higher than native-born citizens, for their children that in turn achieve at a level that is higher on average than the children of native-born citizens, not to disparage those who come from the united states or come from long lines of families that come from the united states. we know we see this difference along the spectrum. let me highlight a couple of points that i think make a big

lined with fine renaissance art. but there just might be something very, very much more valuable. a missing masterpiece by leonardo the vinci. his last fresco, -- leonardo da vinci. his last fresco, not seen for hundreds of years. this painting sits in front of leonardo's peace, hiding its -- leonardo's piece, hiding it. tiny holes were made and probes were inserted into the canvas. this man has presented his findings. he says that behind the wall there is a gap and something painted on a panel. he also found pigment similar to that used by leonardo. these findings are just preliminary. he believes the missing fresco is their. >> we have found these pigments. organic material as well. it cannot just be a coincidence. >> but the search is controversial. dozens of our experts have vigorously objected. and this man is among the art historians who are convinced there is no fresco behind the wall. >> the documents are very clear with this respect. there is no way that a painting is back their. maybe some remains, some trace is, but nothing of value. this is creating false expectations.

i found that san francisco renaissance painting. i got involved in organic farming, i started a local business here. part of the reason i'm telling you this is to establish my credibility as a business person. how many more rentals can this business make at this location if they doubled their size? how much more noise and how much more polluted what our neighborhood be? if they are not going to double their activity, then maybe they can understand a more scaled- down project which is all we have been asking for repeatedly, the gentlemen that stood up here earlier and said he was at those meetings, i never saw him before. one other point i feel compelled to speak about is not speaking out about where the development occurred. they built baneful lot project just like this one. the result is a tremendous loss of sunlight that we used to enjoy it when i moved into my home in 1985. this would do a lot more damage to our neighborhood. this is right on their yard. this is right next door to their property. please ask the developer to recon

century, the age of baroque, began through much of europe in subjection to the ideals of the italian renaissance. by the century's end, new artistic tastes had developed-- boldly naturalistic... richly sensual... ambitiously intellectual... passionate and profound... baroque artists had served a variety of masters. they had, as always, provided the images of power for absolute monarchs, whose subjects increasingly saw them as all too mortal. they provided religious images to bolster a faith shaken by the rise of modern science and religious conflict. but something else had happened. by the end of the century, western artists had achieved as never before the depiction of inwardness. look how rembrandt fixes our gaze, draws us in, plays with our emotions... compelling our attention to the mystery of a single human heart. captioning performed by the national captioning institute, inc. captions copyright 1989 educational broadcasting corporation annenberg media ♪ is by movado, makers of the movado museum watch, the watch dial design in the permanent collections of museums throughout the world. addit

[ applause ] >> as you know most of the attention on the obama care is on the constitutionality. if congress can force people to buy insurance under the commerce clause, what can it not do? that would in theory expand federal power to the point it could do anything it wants. a very similar issue is presented when we talk about the medicaid expansion. that is done under different clause of the constitution the taxing and spending power of the constitution. if question here is whether congress has any limits at all. the federal government spends money by giving it to states. it says to the states if you want this money you have to comply with our requirements. the question then arises what kind of conditions can the federal government put on the
