the acoustics and it is all part of the experience that rory and robert are expert at it. they hire wonderful people and create a classy beautiful space in which everyone can enjoy the evening of the best music. they book such incredible performances from around the globe and those performers often need local musician and hire us to accompany them. they also book a lot of local talent and i can't even begin to express my gratitude toward them for giving so many local performers a chance to shine. and these are well-paid positions for the musicians and the exposure for an up scale venue is priceless. all of this is good for the musicians, the economy, great for the audience and for the community of san francisco in general. the razz room has also supported many benefits for a variety of causes in the bay area, it is a powerful, positive force in the community. and the down turn in the economy has taken its toll on all of us in the entertainment industry. and i am hoping that they can resolve these issues so that rory and robert could continue to be successful in their small

robert also agreed that he could not live in that kind of noise. we were hearing music in our floor and the floor above us which is three full floors above neighbors on our floor that have never complained about noise said that this is pretty serious and three or four neighbors who are traveling and could not be here tonight. the sound testing was done several weeks later. and now, apparently, work is being done, but, i would like sound testing to be done again before they are allowed to reopen. because i just don't want to have to keep dealing with this. thank you. >> thank you. >> next? >> sorry one last thing. i am sorry. >> i was just trying to be friendly the first week when jefferson starship was playing and i did not want to shut them down, because i figured it would be incredibly problematic and so i did not call the police for the first five days and i did however lodge a complaint with the entertainment commission. >> thank you. >> thank you for hearing us, my name is jeff tanner and i am the pressurer of the maci home owner's association

rory and robert could continue to be successful in their small business, which means the world to all of us. we need them. thank you. >> thank you, very much. next? >> madam commissioner, commission, my name is shelly tatum, and i am here to speak on behalf of live at the razz. i have been working with them for about the last three years. prior to working with them, i had the opportunity to work with the show room and tommy ts. and i consulted both of them and i heard one speaker say that the others had... they think had sound issues and tommy gs wanted to do live and they eventually shut down the operation when in fact i think that with the show room, it was just bad management. they did have sound problems, they were tommy ts it was a comedy show and he did, he may have done a live show once or twice, but tommy, just didn't get the support that he got from the pleasanton tommy ts. i will say this about robert and rory, is that i with watched them over the last three years, and i will say that this is the first time that i have seen the people holding the lease go through the measure

we have known robert and rory since the plush room and then it was empire plush room. and then razz, room at hotel mico and now live at rass. i concur with everything that everyone has said before us. they provide quality music and a variety of music. it is very rare for us to be able, especially resident, local musicians, who were very high class, performers, to be included in a venue such as theirs, as well as the higher class, or well or known legends and musicians and artists throughout the united states and overseas to be presented at the same venue. and frank and i would live there if we could because they bring in so many people. but we can't afford it. we do understand the issues with the sound and we do believe that these two people are the type of people who would want to correct that. they are obviously making effort to do so. their business is highly impacted by not being able to provide acoustic musician and music right now. and the public also which they have nurtured as well as all of the artists. there is a need and demand, i don't know if you are famil

court of appeals discusses the late robert -- robert the late robert -- robert bork's justice: watergate, the saturday night massacre, and other adventures of a solicitor general". judge bork finished writing the draft of this book prior to his death in december of 2012. this is a little under an hour. >> thank you. we are gathered to discuss robert justice: watergate, the saturday night massacre, and other adventures of a solicitor general". i am here because i worked as one of bob's assistance for a two years and we were friends between 1974 and his death last fall. i need to open with a confession. i can't say very much about the book. i will talk instead about bob, the man and the solicitor general. the reason i can't say much about the book is that it principal focus was his first six months on the job. when he wrote the brief that persuaded spiro agnew to plead guilty and resign as vice president, when he persuaded the supreme court to stop justice douglas's crusade to end the u.s. from prosecuting the vietnam war, when he fired archibald cox as watergate special prosecutor and app

roberts. her family waited again. this time, to hear what roberts would say.ld out a small amount of hope that she would be alive and you never give up hope. >> and then, within three hours, there in that police station, joe roberts finally answered the question that had been hanging over everybody, half hope, half dread, what happened to brittany tavar. the answer was perhaps the most dreadful story this young crime reporter had yet written, taken right from the confession roberts gave police. >> she woke up early in the morning of her court case, woke him up very angry that something wasn't done correctly or that he didn't do it at all and was bugging him early in the morning, trying to get him out of bed, yelling at him. >> now, why would she do that? didn't take but a minute for her friends to figure it out. >> this whole big argument with joe was about him not being able to get this dvd or cd up to perfection, about what they were going to take to court. >> the court case against ann lydon, that is. so her friends speculated about what happened that last

chief justice roberts said why doesn't the president have the power of his convictions?nd because he's not defending it, justice roberts suggested maybe the court doesn't have judds. justice kennedy said the president's position gives me intellectual whiplash. i don't understand why he's taking this position, either. it was surprising how many liberal justices suggested there was no live case or controversy indicating that the court could, in this case, as in the prop 8 case, kick this back to the lower courts, which would leave the ruling below in place. on the other hand, that was an hour, the first hour of oral arguments was does the court have the power to decide this case. during the second part of the argument there was vet agreed skepticism about whether this was a rational law. there was this dramatic moment in a courtroom, i think the most dramatic in the morgue when justice kagan read out the report that said congress intends to express moral disapproval of homosexuality. the audience gasped, and the lawyer said we don't have to believe everything that congress

robert frank now with the low down. robert? >> hey, maria.fiscal cliff deal marked the end of tax hikes on the rich, think again. it may just be the beginning. new york governor andrew cuomo is proposing to extend its millionaires tax. the tax was labeled temporary when it passed in 2009, but now, it will be extended a second time, could stay in place until 2017. let's call that the zombie tax. it just didn't go away. seven states imposed temporary millionaire taxes during the recession. now, some have expired, but california, the taxes were replaced with other tax increases. and some states are now proposing brand new taxes on the wealthy. of course, that's on top of that new federal tax hike. in minnesota, democratic ledge slay churps are proposing a temporary tax on the top 1% of earners to pay down debt for schools. in rhode island, a proposal to raise the top rate to 7.99% from 5.99% to fund the state budget. and from washington state to maine, politicians are now talking increasingly about more fairness in the tax code. but maria, fairn

we met rory and robert. and i met rory and robert. and i told them that there was a serious problem and they they needed to do sound test and proofing before they moved in. they told us that they would and they were on the fence about whether or not they were going to take the space. this is the old cadillac building. it has got old windows it has got a lot of old functions in it. and we did sound proofing a couple of years ago in our unit. we had double insulation put in under our floors. so that we would have less of a problem with the sound transfer. we also bought the unit next to the staircase, because we would not be sharing as many walls. what is important to note here, is that there is a number of important things, but, the night that they had their opening, we did not even know that they were opening, so they opened without notice. and it was a jazz or a small jazz non-micked, maybe, i don't know what it was, i did not go down there and i said to my boyfriend, i said, i can hear a jazz kit. i could hear the snare and i could

king was murdered and a few months later, robert kennedy. at 10 when you open up and you see the world way it really is, i cannot figure out what the problem was. a couple of months later i saw my friends at a party and they were dancing to motown. they were dancing to the same ideas put to music. for me, a nightclub was about using the power needed to disguise big ideas that i thought had to keep moving forward. i just watched my parents and their friends let go of their fears and enjoy themselves. that is what i wanted to do. when i started the kitchen, i hate to get back to the world of nightclubs. the kitchen'sed became my nightclubs. whether it is somebody coming in the back door because they want a job for the first time, they have never graduated from anything. i am trying to find a way to get them to where they want to go. if it is a young student in school, they want to do more, they want to experience something. whether it is the president of the united states who is looking for new way to open up the economy, welcome home. that is

there is also a 12-year-old boy that reached out to chief justice john roberts to let him know about his own family here in the bay area in santa rosa. he and his sister, salina, are adopted. they have two dads. the family is committed to each other. looking to the u.s. supreme court to decide the legality of his parent's union as it will consider california's ban on same-sex marriage tuesday. wednesday, the court considers another case that challenges the federal defensive marriage act. in the la few family, 12-year-old daniel learned that justice roberts has two adopted kids of his own. he said he thought he would never have a family of his own.
