May 22, 2007. That was the day everything changed.Dressed in a blue blazer over a white blouse, a relatively

unknown Michael Self took the microphone at a Santa BarbaraCity Council meeting.“My name is Michael Self and I am president of Santa

Barbara Safe Streets,” she told the council. “I am going to dis-cuss the lack of community support for traffic calming in ourcity. Staff has tried to give the appearance that the public over-whelmingly wants these obstacles, when in fact they are work-ing against the will of the people.”No one on the City Council took her, or the Santa Barbara

Safe Streets group that she had formed, seriously.A couple hours later, the council members voted the way

every City Hall insider that night knew they would.With a unanimous, 7-0 vote, the council denied Self’s

attempt to stop the installation of several Samarkand trafficcalming devices. Even though she had the neighborhood on herside, the council still said “No.”

But in defeat that night, a neighborhood heroine was born.Self, a retired housekeeper, former small business owner,

wife and mother of three, was so upset over the way the coun-cil treated her, that she decided to take matters into her ownhands.And she became the housekeeper who cleaned up City Hall.

2011 CampaignCruise around San Roque, Samarkand and the Mesa, and it’s

easy to see that Self is a person whose message resonates withthe community. She’s handed out nearly 500 yard signs, andpeople want more.With a Sarah Palin-esque, folksy-like-charm, Self has a way

of making people feel safe in their skin.“Michael is a very compassionate individual,” said Jim

Westby, a community activist, who has stood by Self’s sidesince the beginning. “She is a good listener. She didn’t comethrough the political system and she has no political interestother than this. She really is looking out for the citizens.”

Two years after Self stunned Santa Barbara’s once tightlywoven political insider community by winning a seat on theSanta Barbara City Council, she’s now running for re-election.Just like she did in 2009, she’s knocking on doors, making

telephone calls and she has once again tapped into an enthusi-astic base of Santa Barbara residents who like her plain-speakand down-to-Earth manner.Once an outsider, Self is now a cornerstone of the conserva-

tive power base at City Hall.And she’s not planning on going anywhere anytime soon.“I feel like I have a pretty good chance,” she said, on a recent

afternoon at her home, which overlooks several Oak trees nearPark.A hard workerSelf learned many of the traits that she displays on the City

Council after she opened and started a housekeeping businessin Los Angeles. Her first husband owned maintenance compa-ny, and Self started a housekeeping business.She hired her first employee at the age of 22. She offered

four-hour residential housekeeping services.Self said she hired girls only if they promised her that house-

keeping would not be their permanent career. She wanted toempower her workers, and she said she helped them transitioninto trade schools, college or higher-paying jobs when the timewas right.“It was a great job,” said Self, who often filled in for her

Darryl Genis, attorney for Tony Vincent DeNunzio, theman arrested for allegedly driving under the influence andresisting arrest in the Loreto Plaza parking lot last Friday, isdemanding the release of the footage from an officer’s dash-board camera. Genis also announced that a government claimhad been made—the first step that could lead to a civil law-suit.Some witnesses have claimed that Aaron Tudor, the officer

that pulled DeNunzio over, used excessive force during thearrest. Most of the incident had been captured on Tudor’s

dashboard camera. Wednesday, Santa Barbara Police Cam Sanchez cleared

Tudor of any wrongdoing based on the footage. Genis calledon the police department to release the video to media.Yesterday, he asked the DA’s office to give him the footage aspart of the discovery process.“There is no reason why Joyce Dudley would not be able

to release the video to me as Mr. DeNunzio’s attorney,” Genissaid.The District Attorney’s office declined and issued a state-

ment saying that DeNunzio’s case is still under investigationand releasing the tape could potentially compromise theinvestigation.“History has taught us that the hearing or viewing of this

type of evidence can taint the true recollections of eyewitnessaccounts,” the statement said. “Our office will not facilitatethis possible obstruction of justice.”

Genis rejected the DA’sstance, saying that taxpayer money had paid forthe tape and the public hasa right to see it.

“That’s public propertythat Joyce Dudley is nowconcealing under the colorof authority,” Genis said.He also argued that the

police and DA’s reticenceto produce the tape meansit’s incriminates Tudor andpossibly other officers. “I guarantee you that

this video will show thathe’s the person that shouldbe prosecuted,” Genissaid.Calls to Sanchez’s

office were not returned.DeNunzio had been

pulled over on Loreto Plaza last Friday night for allegedlymaking several lane changes without using his turn signal.According to a police statement put out on Monday,DeNunzio ignored Tudor’s orders to stay in the car and resis-ted attempts to handcuff him.The report said Tudor used palm strikes, knees, and his

Taser to subdue DeNunzio. Additional officers arrived andsucceeded in handcuffing DeNunzio.DeNunzio suffered a broken nose and pain in his ribs. He

was treated at Cottage Hospital before being booked intocounty jail.Genis said DeNunzio is recovering from his injuries. He

said DeNunzio maintains that he did not resist arrest thatnight and complied with Tudor’s orders. He wants to put theincident behind him and does not want to become a publicfigure. “His only hope is that this never happens to anyone else,”

Genis said.Genis said a government claim had been made. That claim

has to be denied in order for a civil lawsuit to proceed. DeNunzio is on probation for a previous DUI. Under the

terms of his probation, he must submit to alcohol blood tests,may not commit any crimes, and may not drive with any alco-hol in his blood. Genis said he could not confirm the terms ofDeNunzio’s probation as he did not represent him on the pre-vious DUI case.The DA’s office is urging any witnesses to the arrest to

contact Supervising Investigator Greg Wilkins at 568-2357.

NEWS IN BRIEFOWS Protesters’ power shut off(Reuters) - Anti-Wall Street protesters' plans to camp in a New

York park throughout the city's harsh winter were dealt a blow onFriday when the fire department confiscated six generators andabout a dozen cans of fuel.With the first snow forecast to fall on Saturday, the "Occupy

Wall Street" movement against economic inequality lost the gen-erators that had been powering heat, computers and a kitchen inthe Lower Manhattan camp they set up six weeks ago."They think that taking the 'power' away will take the power

away, and that's absolutely not true at all," said Occupy Wall Streetspokesman Michael Booth.The movement has sparked so-called occupations in cities

across the United States and elsewhere in the world. But recentevictions in places like Oakland, California, where police used teargas and stun grenades, have New York protesters on edge.

So. Carolina gunman at large(Reuters) - Police were still looking late on Friday for a man

who fled after a shootout with police, prompting a six-hourmanhunt and the lockdown of seven schools in Greenville,South Carolina.Children held in four public schools that were totally or par-

tially locked down were dismissed for the day.Police identified the suspect as Patrick Dean Lowrance, 25,

who was involved in a shoot-out with a police officer at anapartment complex on Friday morning and then fled. Lowranceis wanted on 11 active warrants for kidnapping, attempted mur-der, possession of firearms and robbery in Greenville County."We don't believe him to be in the area at all," said Greenville

Police spokesperson Officer Alia Urps. "The canine search trailended and he would have had to get away in a vehicle."

Cain smoking ad divides GOP(Reuters) - Presidential hopeful Herman Cain's quirky "smoking

ad" may have mystified many Americans, but according to a newReuters/Ipsos online poll, it has drawn a sharp line betweenRepublicans who identify with the Tea Party and those who don't.The ad, which shows Cain's chief of staff Mark Block puffing

on a cigarette for no apparent reason, created enormous Internetbuzz this week.Six in 10 of those who strongly identify with the conservative

Tea Party movement said they loved or liked the ad.An almost equal percentage of people who self-identified as

mainstream Republicans either disliked or hated it.Block is shown on the video giving Cain, a surprise Republican

nomination front-runner, a testimonial before taking a draw from acigarette. The image shifts to the candidate who slowly breaks intoa smile as his campaign song blares.

Dated: October 25, 2011

A number of years ago I offered a mid-careerpainter a series of free consultations to help him bet-ter understand the art market. I came to know Andyand his work well, and visited his studio many timesas he prepared a new series. One night at 11pm hecalled my house with a trembling voice. He asked ifI could visit his studio right away. I threw a coatover my pajamas and headed across town. When Igot to his studio, I saw yards of butcher paper hang-ing from the rafters covered with pencil sketches ofhorses.

Now, Andy was a painter of abstract works. I had neverseen him paint a figure, and in fact, his clients, his collec-tors, did not purchase figural paintings. Andy began to weep.“What’s wrong with me; I can’t stop drawing horses!” As isthe case with all images charged with hidden meanings,Andy was being ridden to death by an image which seemedto be channeled through his creative subconscious.So I read with interest this week that Andy, historically

speaking, is not the only artist to be haunted by the figure ofa horse.On view right now until the summer of 2012 at the

International Museum of the Horse in Kentucky’s HorsePark in Lexington: The Horse, a 1000 acre exhibit whichexplores works of art depicting the mighty help- meet ofmankind from the Paleolithic period to today. The exhibition,organized by New York’s American Museum of NaturalHistory, shows the enduring and complex relationship of

man and horse, which has helped build civiliza-tions together throughout history. My favorite show is the study of the movements

of the horse, (gaits), through the zoetrope, adevice that turns still images into moving pictures.This machine was invented in 1879 by Eadweard(sic) Muybridge, who created the world’s firstmovie projector, which projects images from rotat-ing glass disks in rapid succession to give theimpression of motion. The development of thezoetrope, originally named the Zoopraxiscope, wasfunded in the late 19th C by Governor of

California, Leland Stanford, a race-horse owner, to prove hisbelief that all four horse’s hooves are off the ground at thesame time. Muybridge proved Stanford right by setting up aseries of cameras that used glass plates with trip lines thatwere triggered by the horse. The world up till that point had thought that the horse’s

four legs extended all at one time, off the ground. Muybridgeshowed the moment all four legs are tucked under the horse,off the ground. And possibly one of the oldest depictions of the sculpted

horse is included, at the Museum of the Horse, the Horses ofthe Terracotta Army of the Tombs of Emperor Qin ShiHuangdi near Xi-an in Central China, the incredible funeraryart which was buried with the First Emperor of China, in210-209 BCE, to protect the Emperor in his afterlife.Testimony to the importance of the horse to the human, theTomb contains 670 sculpted horses, life-sized. The exhibi-tion shows a whole magnificent row of these 2221 year oldbeasts.

‘Ghost’ VilliageTrick or Treat comes to MontecitoWhodidily, "Boodidily."Jeannine's,"Jea-screams."It's

that time of year again, when cos-tumes and candy come out,Montecito becomes Hauntecito andCoast Village Road resurrects itsever popular Ghost Village Road."It has become our biggest event

of the year," said Danny Copus,president of the Coast VillageBusiness Association, which putson the highly anticipatedHalloween event. "The communitydefinitely looks forward to it, andit's an excellent opportunity for businessesalong the road to give back and connect withthem in a fun way. People get really excitedabout this holiday."

According to Copus, the challenge comesin making it better and better as participationgets bigger and bigger each year. Stores getcompetitive; they decorate, dress up, or at thevery least hand out candy to trick or treaters."Jeannine's always decorates very well,

they're really into it and it inspires the others"he said of the restaurant, also noting thatHere's the Scoop, "Here's the Spook," goesthe extra mile by getting out the camera forpictures, hosting a costume contest-a high-light of the afternoon-and offering special,limited-edition Halloween gelato and sorbetflavors for guys and "ghouls" to be goblin'up.And although there's no official contest for

the businesses themselves, "We always win!"laughed Whodidily's cupcake-tress behindthecounter. Last year their over the top themeincluded all employees dressed in pink tutus(even the men) and huge, almost 4-foot tallwings.Instead of candy, the shop handed out mini

"fairy cake" cupcakes, but they can't revealwhat they're giving out this year. Nor canthey divulge what they'll be wearing; it's allvery hush-hush. However, if a giggle and"Oh my goodness, when I opened the boxand saw it ... you won't believe it!" is anyindication of the outfits, you won't want tomiss it. They've been planning it for months.Depending on the store, some might start-

putting things together today so thatcome Halloween Monday, everyonewill have doors open, ready to gofrom 3:30-6:30 p.m."I always wish I had about a

month more of prep time," saidCopus, who is also the general man-ager of Montecito Inn, and whosereputation is to do it up big. "It'salways a challenge, but somehow,someway,we always manage to getit done," he said, recognizing thatthey've got their work cut out forthem this weekend.

Appropriately, the Inn has carved out itsniche as Ghost Village Road's delightfullydevilish haunted house attraction. Past yearshave included Charlie Chaplin spiriting thehotel, Batman emerging from the shadows(the movie had just been released), MichaelJackson's zombie-fied Thriller and "Scary"Potter, complete with soul-suckingDementors.This year, the Black Pearl has traveled to

the coast of Santa Barbara and has docked offof Olive Mill Road, down the ramp intoMontecito Inn's basement garage. ThesePirates of the "Scare"-ibbean will be passingout candy, while it's sure there'll be sightingsof spellbound scalawags, specters and per-haps a skeleton or two."Of course we take into consideration the

age level of visitors," Copus said "We tone itdown when we see really young kids. There'snothing worse than scaring a child. But witha group of older kids, we know we can ratch-et it up.""The music is blaring, it's always a good

time and there's nothing better than scaringan adult!" he admitted. "Most of all, no mat-ter what though, we just want it to be fun."And free from harm. "That's what makes it

so special," continued Copus. "It's an eventthat really gives back to the community andprovides a safe place for a fun holiday. It'snice that in this day and age, parents can feelcomfortable bringing their kids here, to anenvironment where they can feel completelysafe."Strategically timed so that kids can come

in costume after their school day, they arrivewith their parents from all over-fromCarpinteria to Goleta-and pack the streets,walking from store to store. It's an excitingtime and you may not know "witch" businessto go to first, so we recommend creepingover to each and every one.From all of us at The Daily Scream, have

a spook-tacular Halloween- we hope it's ascream!

Comeback Cardswin World Series(Reuters) - The St. Louis Cardinals com-

pleted their magical comeback season by beat-ing the Texas Rangers 6-2 in a deciding GameSeven to clinch the World Series on Friday.After left-fielder Allen Craig caught David

Murphy's fly for the final out, the Cards rushedinto the infield to celebrate a season in whichthey overcame a 10 game deficit in the lastmonth to reach the playoffs and fought backtwice in the postseason for their 11th MajorLeague Baseball crown.Confetti filled the chilly night air as the rau-

cous, white-towel waving crowd at BuschStadium roared in delight and fireworks lit thesky."There's just one way to describe it -- it's

unbelievable, amazing, incredible," Cardinalsmanager Tony La Russa said in a ceremony inthe middle of the diamond.The World Series Most Valuable Player

award went to hometown hero David Freese,whose two-run triple in the bottom of the ninthsent Game Six into extra innings before his11th-inning home run won it for the Cardinals.Freese, who also won MVP honors in the

National League Championship Series againstMilwaukee, drove in two runs on Friday and fin-

ished the Fall Classic with seven runs batted in."This is definitely a dream come true," the

28-year-old third baseman said after beingawarded the trophy and a new sports car. "Thisis incredible."The Cardinals rallied one last time in their

season of heart-stopping comebacks by spot-ting the Rangers a 2-0 lead in the first inningbefore surging to victory.After back-to-back run-scoring doubles by

Josh Hamilton and Michael Young in the firstoff St. Louis starter Chris Carpenter, the Cardsimmediately tied the game in their half of thefirst on a two-run double by Game Six heroFreese.A solo home run by Craig in the third inning

gave St. Louis a 3-2 lead before Texas pitchingunraveled in the fifth.St. Louis tacked on two more runs in the

fifth without a hit as relievers Scott Feldmanand C.J. Wilson combined to walk three, oneintentionally, and hit two batters as theCardinals padded their lead to 5-2.Cardinals starter Chris Carpenter, pitching

on a short rest period, went six innings for theseries-clinching win, giving up two runs on sixhits while striking out five.

(Reuters) - The National Basketball (NBA)canceled another two weeks of the season onFriday and conceded it was now too late tosave the entire 82-game season even if ownersand players reached an agreement to end totheir bitter labor dispute.After a third straight day of talks between

the feuding parties ended in New York withoutan agreement, NBA Commissioner DavidStern, who had already scrapped the pre-sea-son and the first two weeks of the regular sea-son, announced that more games had been lostto the dispute."Our games are canceled through the end of

the month of November," he told a news con-ference."It's not practical, possible or prudent to

have a full season now."We held out that joint hope together but, in

light of the breakdown of talks, there will notbe a full NBA season under any circum-stances."Some progress was made by the two sides

on salary cap issues over the previous two daysof negotiations at a Manhattan hotel but thedivision of basketball-related income onceagain proved to be the main stumbling block.The players had offered to reduce their

share from 57 to 53 percent, and lowered thatto 52.5 percent last week. On Friday, they saidthey could drop to 52 but that was not enoughfor the owners who had formally proposed a50-50 split.

"Today wasn't the day to try and close thisout," NBA Players Association presidentDerek Fisher, who plays for the Los AngelesLakers, told reporters in the hotel lobby.Billy Hunter, executive director of the play-

ers' union, said: "We made a lot of concessionsbut this time, unfortunately, it's not enough."Any chance of a deal being struck appeared

very distant last week after three days ofmarathon talks in New York with a federalmediator had ended in bitter disagreement.However, negotiations on a new collective

bargaining agreement picked up steam afterreports earlier this week suggested the leaguewas ready to axe two more weeks from theschedule.THORNY ISSUEThe owners and players initially focused on

the structure of the salary cap system inmarathon talks on Wednesday and Thursdaybefore switching to the thorny issue of basket-ball-related income on Friday."Until this afternoon, we've had a pretty

good several days of give-and-take," Sternsaid. "A lot of things were re-affirmed, a lot ofconcessions went back and forth. We madesome major progress on length of contract."And then we turned to the subject of how

to divide basketball-related income (BRI). Isummarized the positions ... and said that theNBA owners were willing to go to 50 percenton their percentage split of BRI, in effect a 50-50 split.

Dear S&B:Please help me cut through the

financial jargon, what is the simplisticversion of what is really going on in themarkets and Europe? Joanna – Santa Barbara

On the heels of the Greek debt “fix,”the financial markets extended theirmonth long market rally, approachingrecord increases not seen since the1970’s. How quickly things can changein today’s fast paced world as not toolong ago, panic selling and Europeancollapse was the theme de jour.

For a quick backdrop, European banks own a lot of govern-ment bonds from various countries including a slug issued byGreece. The Greek society overspent, hit their “credit cardmax” and no one was willing to give them more money. Theycould not cut expenses fast enough and was running out ofmoney where they could not pay their upcoming bills. Thesame issue that homeowners face when a foreclosure is loom-ing.But unlike a bank foreclosing on a house and taking the

asset, it is not as though they can take over the Parthenon. Theissue is / was not the Greek default but rather what it does tothe European banks…they go insolvent…sound familiar toour crisis a few years ago when their real estate loans wentbad?In recognizing the world can’t afford another financial cri-

sis, a tremendous amount of money was thrown at the prob-lem. The European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF)increased their pledge from $400B Euros to a staggering $1TEuros (call this a bail out; call it the European TARP equiva-

lent that we did here). This helpsstabilize the banks from the follow-ing losses.Bondholders that own obligations

from Greece will take a “voluntary”haircut of 50% on what they areowed. If Greece owes $100 on abond to you, they now only owe$50. You are not happy but betterthan $0 or having the obligationconverted to their old currencywhich was surely going to be great-ly devalued. Everyone ending up inthe same place regardless. The voluntary nature of the 50%

reduction in Greek debt avoids the trigger of untold billions inGreek bond Credit-Default swaps (that likely could not havebeen paid by the banks--think AIG and their mortgage guaran-tees that could not be covered in our crisis). The reaction to the news fueled an already ongoing world

stock market rally pushing European equities up +5% to +6%and now are about +20% to +25% above their lows (madeless than a month ago…how quickly things can change). Foryears we have been advising people to diversify and rebalancetheir portfolios regularly…see why…it would have forced youto buy these stocks last month when most were selling. Samething applied to bonds toward the end of last year…rightbefore their huge rally this year. But there are still issues and challenges out there. The

Europeans have asked the Chinese to participate and theyhave yet to respond and might not agree to throw in a $100Bor so. The $1T ESFS is big enough to handle Greece, but like-ly not Spain/Italy which have major debt issues next year.The takeaway is that Europe has done enough for now and

has made significant strides in the right direction as many hadanticipated (but not without lingering questions). This globalgovernment debt issue is simply going to take years todecades to work out. It took 50 years in most cases to run itup…the real “fix” won’t come overnight.

workers when they were sick or couldn’t perform on a shift.“You met people on all socio-economic levels.”Self said she started the business because she could do it dur-

ing the day and set her own hours so that she could be off workbefore her kids got home from school.“I wanted to fit my schedule in around my kids,” Self said.Strong family values, she said, was an important priority for

her.She sought to be a mom and a parent first, not just a friend

to her children. Raising kids, she said, gives her an edge on thecouncil.“It broadens your experience,” Self said. “It makes you

focus out, not in. The day-to-day of raising a family broadensyour understanding. I don’t think it’s necessary, but it is help-ful.”

On the CouncilSelf is one of those rare council members who does what she

says and says what she means. She voted against water rateincreases and opposed commercial recycling rate hikes. Sheand her conservative colleagues successfully removed bulboutsfrom the Chapala Street Design guidelines.She also called attention to the city’s now defunct employee

mortgage loan program, questioning why the city was loaningmoney to city workers at a time when the city was havingfinancial troubles.The criticism may have cost her the endorsement of the

Santa Barbara Police Officers Association, the union thatbacked her in 2009. It turns out that nine of the nearly fourdozen city employees who received loans were in the policedepartment, including the current POA president.And her time on the council has not been without criticism.

Some of her council colleagues and city staff members private-ly question her ability to understand complex city issues. Herviews on high-density housing and traffic calming devices, forexample, have infuriated city planners, alternative transporta-tion advocates and top city managers.In general, she believes that city planners push an alternative

transportation agenda, favoring bikes and buses over cars.During meetings she has been relentless, drilling city staff toanswer questions and show evidence to support their conclu-sions about the benefits of traffic calming devices.

Self simply doesn’t buy into the urban planning philosophy.“The idea seems nice, but it’s not realistic in the real world,”

she said.But her critics say she simply doesn’t understand smart-

growth principles. Self laughs at the opposition.“Just because I don’t speak like you, doesn’t mean I am

dumb,” she said. “It just means that I don’t talk like you.”Westby says people who criticize Self don’t know her.“She is a smart person,” Westby said. “She can really see the

big picture. One on one there isn’t anyone out there who canbeat her.”Friend and supporter Cheri Rae said Self has a warmth and

likability that she has seen in few elected officials.“She might not be as articulate as people want her to be,”

Rae said, “but she makes connections with people.”Rae said that Self is the council member who is most respon-

sive to neighborhood issues. She genuinely cares about people.“She extends compassion to people who don’t do the same

to her.”Her futureWith her husband John at her side, Self feels poised to win

re-election. Self came to Santa Barbara after she married Johnand got a divorce from her first husband. John owned an elec-trical contracting company and Michael did the books. Aftertaking an accounting class in 1984, she became the company’schief financial officer.Even though she paid attention to local politics, Self was

content with her life as a retired Santa Barbara resident. It was-n’t until she got a notice in the mail from city planners inform-ing her and other neighbors that they planned to install trafficcalming devices in their neighborhood. She asked herself whyand after talking to others who lived in the area, decided thatthey weren’t right for the community.She began speaking out a City Council meetings, calling and

emailing council members, and being a proverbial thorn in theside of City Hall. After the council denied the appeal of her group in 2007, she

decided she had enough. She convinced the like-minded DaleFrancisco to run for council in 2007 – and he won, knocking offBrian Barnwell.Then in 2009, Self ran, and won.She placed fourth in 2009, and won a spot after Helene

Schneider was elected mayor with two years left in her term.She said that she feels the pressure to win another term.“I am in this because of my passion for the city,” Self said.

“I don’t do this because it is something that I want. It’s what thecommunity wants. To be respected enough to have people wantyou to represent them is a great honor.”No matter what happens on Election Day, Nov. 8, Self and

City Hall have both learned valuable lessons since 2007.“It’s that law of unintended consequences,” Rae said. “The

council members should be careful who they treat with con-tempt during public comment because one day that personcould be sitting next to you.”

(Reuters) - Texas Governor Rick Perry renewed his attack onRepublican presidential rival Mitt Romney as untrustworthy, anddefended Texas illegal immigration policy that has been criticized byconservative Republicans.Campaigning in New Hampshire, Perry accused the former

Massachusetts governor of changing positions on gun control, thecauses of global warming and government health insurance man-dates.He is seeking to chip away at Romney's big lead in the polls in a

key early primary state, and arrest his own slide in national surveys.

"Like it or not the governor has been on the opposite side of a lotof issues," Perry said during a live interview with conservativeactivist and New Hampshire Republican gubernatorial candidateOvide Lamontagne. "The issue is who are you really going to trustto stand up and be consistent?"The Romney and Perry camps have focused their criticism on

each other on Friday rather than businessman Herman Cain whonow leads in some national Republican polls, an indication that nei-ther campaign views Cain as a serious threat.

Children and volunteers enjoyed last yearʼs successful Owls in Wonderland carnival.

Magic at the Owls in Wonderland eventLaguna Blanca School will create some

magic at its second annual Owls inWonderland carnival.The Nov. 6 event at the Lower School, 260

San Ysidro Road, goes from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.and is free to the public. Guests can antici-pate traveling through a giant caterpillarshaped tunnel to enter a wonderland of cre-ative play and interactive learning. Eachmember of the public will be handed an art-fully decorated passport to mark the discov-eries they come across on the other side."Our campus is a wonderland full of

magic and learning," said Tara Broucqsault,director of communications. "We didn't wantit it to be another just another carnival withgames, so everything is tied to learning."

Last year's well-attended festival provedthat people were still hungry for enchantmentand that the school was able to deliver it.About 700 people came, many in costume, tobe transported to wonderland by a schoolproud of its ability to build character andstimulate intellect.The carnival features a mad scientist lab, a

tea party, croquet, arts and crafts, games, anda rabbit petting station. Volunteers will bedecked in lavish costumes and each stationwill be whimsically decorated to match thetheme. "Owls in Wonderland" was chosenlast year because of the school's owl mascotSwoop and the success of the live action filmversion made that year. The science exhibitsare expected to be another hit at this year'sOwls in Wonderland carnival on Nov. 6.In character volunteers will recite lines

from the book as children enjoy edible teacups and participate in a game of find-the-object. An elaborate chandelier will be strungup on an oak tree to decorate the tea party.Kids can contemplate chess moves while

standing on a giant, life size chess and check-er boards, using both arms to lug the piecesfrom place to place.Broucqsault said the mad scientist's pavil-

ion generated the most oohs and aahs lastyear. Three crazed brainiacs brewed newtricks every hour, dazzling onlookers withthe real life magic of science.A bed of nails was used to illustrate a

physics lesson, and audiences hair was liter-ally stood on end by an electrical current.One of the most magical of tricks was a giantbubble sturdy enough to be held blown froma chemical concoction, said Broucqsault, andthe trio also crafted such classics as Alka-Seltzer rockets.Everyone who attended last year was

blown away, said Broucqsault. The reactionon kid's faces indicated that the school suc-cessfully crafted an atmosphere of charming,Disney-like wonder, she said, and parentsalso had a blast."They were all engaged," Broucqsault

(Reuters) - Oakland Mayor Jean Quan, whowas booed out of a public square by protestersagainst economic inequality on Thursday,apologized for a clash between police anddemonstrators that badly injured an ex-Marine.Quan, who has drawn withering criticism

for her handling of a confrontation with so-called "Occupy Wall Street" protesters, said ina written statement that she had met with ex-Marine Scott Olsen and his parents and wasconcerned about his recovery.Olsen, 24, was struck in the head during

protests in Oakland on Tuesday night and hasbecome a rallying cry for the protests nation-wide.

A spokesman for Highland GeneralHospital in Oakland said Olsen remained infair condition on Friday, upgraded from criti-cal one day earlier, and was visiting with hisparents."I am deeply saddened about the outcome

on Tuesday," Quan said in the statement,which she also delivered from her office in avideotaped posted online. Shouts of protestersrallying outside City Hall can be heard in thebackground of the video."It was not what anyone hoped for.

Ultimately, it was my responsibility, and Iapologize for what happened," she said, con-cluding: "We can change America, but wemust unite and not divide our city. I hope wecan work together."The disturbances in Oakland have made it

one of the hubs of the Occupy Wall Streetmovement, which began in New York City lastmonth to protest economic disparities, highunemployment and government bailouts ofmajor banks.Makeshift encampments sprouting up in

cities across the country have forced local offi-

cials to walk a fine line between allowingpeaceful assembly and addressing concernsabout trespassing, noise, sanitation and safety.CATCALLS AND BOOSQuan pledged to work with the Occupy

Oakland activists but said "we need to havedirect communications between city staff andyour representatives."Quan had paid a visit late Thursday night to

a rally and speakers' forum organized by pro-testers at Frank Ogawa Plaza, a public squareadjacent to the mayor's office that has been thefulcrum of demonstrations.She was greeted with a hail of angry boos

and catcalls and hastily retreated with her staffback to City Hall, followed by protestersshouting, "Get out, go home!" and "Resign!"In her videotaped statement, Quan said she

was "asking" protesters to refrain from camp-ing overnight in the plaza.Police forcibly dismantled the encampment

on Tuesday, and protesters were marching toretake it when Olsen was critically injured inthe confrontation with police.Protest organizers said the ex-Marine was

struck in the head with a tear gas canister firedby police. City and police officials have notsaid how they believe Olsen was hurt butpolice opened an investigation into the inci-dent.Protesters reclaimed the plaza on

Wednesday night and police kept their dis-tance.On Friday, hundreds of protesters returned

again to the square for a rally attended by doc-umentary filmmaker and liberal activistMichael Moore, who was loudly cheered as headdressed the crowd."We've seen the militarization of our local

police departments because Congress hasspent billions to buy them armaments ... evenspying systems to prepare them for what theybelieve is the inevitable," Moore said. "Sooneror later the people aren't going to take it any-more."Organizers have called for a general strike

in Oakland one day next week over what theycalled the "brutal and vicious" treatment ofprotesters there.

"I am deeply saddenedabout the outcome onTuesday,"

exposed by the case, which began as a probeinto hashish use within Gibbs' unit, had dam-aged America's image around the globe.Published photographs showing two fellow

GIs posing with the bloodied corpse of anAfghan boy they had just killed have drawncomparisons to the inflammatory Abu Ghraibprisoner abuse scandal in Iraq in 2004.Gibbs, from Billings, Montana, is charged

with three counts of premeditated murder, aswell as cutting fingers off dead bodies and beat-ing a fellow soldier who had alerted superiors towidespread drug abuse within their unit.

If convicted of all charges, Gibbs faces amaximum sentence of life in prison without thepossibility of parole.Prosecutors have cast him as the chief insti-

gator among five infantrymen from the 5thStryker Brigade accused of slaying civilians inrandom killings staged to look like legitimatecombat casualties.Seven other soldiers were charged with vari-

ous lesser offenses, ranging from assault foropening fire at civilians to using illegal drugs.Most have already reached plea deals.JURY PANEL SELECTEDFriday's proceedings opened with the judge,

Lieutenant Colonel Kwasi Hawks, addressingGibbs directly, reviewing procedures and ask-ing if he recalled instructions given him duringprevious hearings, to which Gibbs replied,"Yes, sir."Asked if he needed any advice or instruc-

tions repeated, Gibbs answered, "No."His lawyer, Phillip Stackhouse, then entered

not guilty pleas on his behalf to all charges.Gibbs, wearing a dress uniform, sat silently

and mostly expressionless for the remainder of

the three hours, staring straight ahead as thejudge and attorneys for both sides went throughthe process of choosing a jury panel. He occa-sionally glanced at prosecutors or prospectivejurors.In the end, five panelists were selected, two

enlisted personnel and three officers, the high-est-ranked a colonel.About 30 witnesses are expected to testify

during the court-martial, slated to run at leastthrough next week at Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, according to Armyspokesman Major Christopher Ophardt.The court-martial is slated to resume on

Monday with opening statements from theprosecution and defense, and the first testimo-ny.The chief prosecution witness is expected to

be the soldier described as Gibbs' right-handman, Specialist Jeremy Morlock, sentenced inMarch to 24 years in prison after pleadingguilty to three counts of murder for his role inthe same killings for which Gibbs is accused.They alone were charged with all three

killings, which occurred in January, Februaryand May of 2010 while the Stryker Brigade was

deployed in western Kandahar province.Morlock, who originally implicated Gibbs in

statements to military investigators, testifiedagainst him in open court during an evidentiaryhearing in July as part of the plea deal hereached with prosecutors.It was Morlock who appeared in photo-

graphs published in March by two magazinesshowing him crouched smiling over the body ofa 15-year-old Afghan, holding the boy's head upfor the camera by his hair.A similar photo was published of another

member of the self-styled Stryker "kill team,"Andrew Holmes, who pleaded guilty last monthto a single count of murder and was sentencedto seven years in prison.A third co-defendant, Adam Winfield, plead-

ed guilty to a reduced charge of involuntarymanslaughter and was sentenced to three yearsin prison in August, and a fourth, MichaelWagnon, still faces a court-martial.All but one of the seven men charged with

lesser crimes have received convictions andsentences ranging from demotion or dishonor-able discharge to 60 days hard labor and jailsentences of up to nine months.

(Reuters) - The congressional "super com-mittee" charged with slashing the U.S. deficithave heard from legions of lobbyists and law-makers bent on influencing the outcome. Nowmembers are getting an earful fromRepublican and Democratic leaders who wantthem to reach a deal and help restore voters'faith in Congress before the 2012 elections.The panel's six Republicans and six

Democrats are under pressure to avoid a dead-lock that could further anger voters fed up with

the partisan gridlock that has plagued majorlegislation since President Barack Obama tookoffice in January 2009, according to aides,analysts, lawmakers and lobbyists.House Speaker John Boehner, the top

Republican, and Senate Republican leaderMitch McConnell want a deal, figuring itwould be smart politically as well as vital tothe country's fiscal well-being, aides said.Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid and

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi make

the same point."Knowing how important this agreement is,

the message that it will send to the world, tothe markets, to the American people (and) theconfidence it will be build -- it will be a missedopportunity if we do not do this," Pelosi toldreporters. "It behooves all of us to be open aspossible."The committee faces a November 23 dead-

line to come up with a package to reduce thedeficit by at least $1.2 trillion over 10 years. A

deadlock would trigger automatic cuts spreadevenly between defense and domestic pro-grams.Recent opinion polls show public approval

of Congress as low as 9 percent, with data sug-gesting that Republicans and Democrats areequally disillusioned with the inability of law-makers to work together."The super committee absolutely is in the

cross-hairs. The public would be very upset ifthe super committee couldn't reach agreement.

Hearing on the request of the Planning and Development Department to consider the adoption of amendments to the Land Use and Development Code, Case No.11ORD-00000-00022, and the Coastal Zoning Ordinance, Case No. 11ORD-00000-00023 as follows below: a) 11ORD-00000-00022. Adopt a Resolution, recommending to the Board of Supervisors that it adopt an ordinance,

amending Article 35.5, Oil and Gas, Wind Energy and Cogeneration Facilities, and Article 35.11, Glossary, of Section 35-1, the Santa Barbara County Land Use and Development Code, of Chapter 35, Zoning, of the County Code;

b) 11ORD-00000-00023. Adopt a Resolution, recommending to the Board of Supervisors that it adopt an ordinance, amending Division 2, Definitions, and Division 9, Oil and Gas Facilities, of Article II, the Santa Barbara County Coastal Zoning Ordinance, of Chapter 35, Zoning, of the County Code; and

to determine that the project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15308 of the State Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act. The proposed ordinances would clarify the discretionary permit process for any proposal to conduct hydraulic fracturing on any new or existing wells. The proposed amendment to the Land Use and Development Code would also revises criteria for determining when an inland oil and gas production proposal requires an Oil Drilling and Production Plan, changing the determination of such permit from a determination of potential significant adverse impacts identified during a site visit to a determination by the Director.
