AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL WHO ARE CONCERNED, AS WE ARE, ABOUT THE FUTURE OF PALO ALTO AS A LIVABLE COMMUNITY. We are extremely concerned about the cumulative effects of excessive commercial development that has adversely affected our quality of life by contributing to citywide congestion, traffic jams, and spillover parking in adjacent residential neighborhoods. This was confirmed by two-thirds of Palo Altans in the recent National Citizens Survey who said they were deeply Tom Dubois concerned about citywide congestion, traffic and parking. WE NEED TO SEND A STRONG MESSAGE IN THE UPCOMING ELECTION. The way we can get Palo Alto moving in the right direction is to vote for TOM DUBOIS and ERIC FILSETH. YOUR VOTE WILL HELP RE-ELECT THESE TWO CITY COUNCIL INCUMBENTS WHO SUPPORT SLOWER, MORE BALANCED GROWTH THAT TAKES RESIDENTS CONCERNS INTO FULL CONSIDERATION. We also urge you to vote for KAREN HOLMAN who is running for a seat on the Mid-Peninsula Regional Open Space District Board (Ward 5). Karen is a long-time environmental advocate and is the only candidate endorsed Eric Filseth by all of the Open Space District Board members. Vote for candidates who share your residential values, and not those who reflect the values of developers and the development community. Help preserve the quality of life in Palo Alto that we have cherished for years. VOTE FOR TOM DUBOIS AND ERIC FILSETH FOR CITY COUNCIL AND KAREN HOLMAN FOR THE MID-PENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT.

favor of affordable housing, but you have to balance that with the people who live in the neighbor- hoods,” Harter said. Stephanie Downey, who owns an office building next to the site, said she was excited about the project. Downey, a high school teacher, said the new development could potentially provide housing for some of her colleagues. “It’s a challenge for a teacher to be able to afford anything within commuting distance to this com- munity to work here,” Downey said. Most council members found themselves somewhere between these two positions. Councilman Tom DuBois suggested that the developer consider making this a senior-housing proposal and suggested that San Antonio Road wouldn’t be an ideal loca- tion for bicycling school com- muters. He also recommended that the developer consider ways to retain retail at the site, a senti- ment that Vice Mayor Eric Fils- eth shared. “The reason we have retail pro- tection ordinances is because we don’t want to lose this kind of fea- ture of our community,” Filseth said, referring to Studio Kicks. “Because there’s only so much land and there’s so much demand for it, I wouldn’t want to see it go away.” Q Staff Writer Gennady Sheyner can be emailed at gsheyner@ paweekly.com.

The Secret Lives of the Brain

If the conscious mind—the part you consider you— accounts for only a fraction of the brain’s function, then what is all the rest doing? Our behavior, thoughts, and experiences are inseparably linked to a vast, wet, chemical/electrical network called the nervous system. The machinery is utterly alien to us, and yet, somehow, it is us. Why does the conscious mind know so little about itself? What do Ulysses and the subprime mortgage meltdown have in common? Why is it so difficult to keep a secret? In this talk, neuroscientist and author David Eagleman will take us into the depths of the subconscious to answer some of our deepest mysteries and help us understand how our perceptions of ourselves and our world result from the hidden workings of the most David Eagleman wondrous thing we have ever discovered: the human brain.
