Aug 1950 - A stop-gap measure to fill the long-range bomber requirement in the Cold War, the Boeing B-29D Washington began entering service with Bomber Command Squadrons during August. The type began to be retired in 1953 with the advent of the V-bombers, but the last did not leave the RAF until 1958.
22 Aug 1950 - RAF Sunderland flying boats begin blockade operations off the west coast of Korea.
5 Apr 1951 - The Avro Shackleton maritime patrol aircraft enters service with No. 120 Sqn Coastal Command, at RAF Kinloss.

Jan 1952 - As a stop-gap, while the Avro Shackleton entered service, four UK based Squadrons were equipped with the Lockheed Neptune MR1. With a crew of ten (two pilots, two navigators , five air signallers and an engineer) and an 8,000 lb weapon load, the long range Neptunes were returned to the US in 1956.
12 Mar 1953 - Seven airmen are killed when the Avro Lincoln B2 they are flying in, RF531, is shot down by a Soviet fighter in the Berlin air corridor. The aircraft, from the RAF Central Gunnery School, was on a training flight.
15 Jul 1953 - RAF Odiham hosts the Coronation Review of the RAF by HM Queen Elizabeth II. The flypast included 640 aircraft.
Oct 1953 - London to New Zealand Air Race featuring 5 RAF/RAAF Canberras. The winning Canberra PR3 (in the Hendon Museum) captained by Flt Lt Burton with navigator Flt Lt Gannon covered the 11,796 miles from London to Christchurch New Zealand in 23 hours 51 minutes (elapsed time) and 22 hours 28 minutes Flying time, giving an average speed of 494.5mph which was a world record at the time.

31 Oct 1956 - Operation Musketeer, the Suez Crisis, begins. After failing to stop Egyptian and Israeli fighting around the Suez Canal, RAF Canberra and Valiant bombers flying from Malta and Cyprus, in conjunction with French Air Force aircraft, attack twelve airfields in the Canal Zone. Airfield attacks continued until 4 November, by which time the Egyptian Air Force had been decimated. Key installations were captured by Anglo-French airborne troops on the 5th prior to a major seaborne offensive. The operations continued until 7 November, when a cease-fire was arranged. So deep was the crisis, that the United States Air Force was brought to a high state of readiness in case of Russian intervention.
4 Apr 1957 - After publication of a Defence White Paper in the UK by the Conservative government, the days of manned aircraft look numbered when Britain chooses to concentrate on defence by advanced interception and nuclear strike missiles.

Tracking down someone in the world can be a tough thing to do because you need some really good contacts in the law enforcement companies and agencies to ensure that you find better and quick results. The interesting thing about technology is that now you can go ahead and find more information about the people that you want to track down. Today, people search technology has become more important because people want to find out information about how they can make the most of the technology that they have.
The interesting thing about people search technology is that you can save lot of time with the help of this technology. People today are always interested in saving more time and therefore they look out for improved technologies that they can use not only on their computers but also on their smartphones. This kind of technology is the best thing that you can find because most of the people search websites can be accessed on the go and therefore it becomes convenient for the people to track down contacts that they want to get into.
Another interesting thing about missing people search technology is that you can cut down the amount of time that you need to search people. In a world where communications really matters you will need better technology that can resolve your problems in less time. Hence, you will need people search technology that can not only help the individuals but also support various law enforcement agencies and human resource management team to find information about individuals. There are good things that you will need to look out for before you actually make use of these technologies but make sure that you start using this technology that will help you resolve all your contact information problems in one go.

How Technology Is Changing The Game For Skilled Professionals
from Thumbtack
Thumbtack released a report describing how skilled professionals are using new platforms to find new work and build their business - and their lives. Called "Beyond the Gig Economy: How New Technologies Are Reshaping the Future of Work," the report explores how technology enables buyers and sellers of services to connect, moving the conversation beyond a one dimensional discussion of the so-called gig economy.
Thumbtack empowers over 200,000 active small business owners to connect with new clients using online tools that weren't available to a previous generation of business owners. These tools are supporting skilled professionals by providing a cost-effective, performance-based platform for building their business that simply would not be possible without technological advances made over the past decade.
We believe that as automation increasingly takes the place of routine tasks performed by humans, the types of jobs performed by skilled professionals will be ever more important as a source of income and opportunity in future generations.
Key takeaways from the report include:
Technology is frequently seen as a threat to humans - either it is taking their jobs away or it is dooming them to a second class status by commoditizing their labor. But for skilled professionals, technology is helping them grow their business and connect with new clients on a daily basis. These platforms stand in contrast to platforms that are offering highly commoditized services like driving a car or delivering groceries. With skilled professionals, it matters who provides the service. Giving consumers the ability to quickly and cheaply choose the professional that is right for them is an important advance enabled by technology.

Questioning How Long the Redskins', Seahawks' Read Option Will Last in the NFL?January 8, 2013
The read option has been run at the high school and collegiate level for years. Just recently, with the emergence of extraordinary talented quarterbacks coming out of college, a handful of pro teams have started incorporating it into their own offenses.
The pistol formation is now in style in the NFL. But will it last?
In 2011, the Denver Broncos ran it with great success under Tim Tebow—until Denver faced a team disciplined enough to shut it down.
The read option is, as the name suggests, a simple option play. There are many forms of it, and many different running and passing plays can branch out of it.
Whether or not the play works is determined by the defense. The quarterback will read the outside linebacker (or defensive end, depending on the formation) and then make his decision whether to keep the ball and run or hand off to the back.
Below are my thoughts on the read option from my preview of the Broncos/Panthers game in Week 10:
The key to stopping it on defense is by playing assignment football—the defensive ends/outside linebackers cannot crash down the line of scrimmage, as is their natural instinct.
In read-option runs, the quarterback puts the DE/OLB (depending on the defensive scheme, it could be either the DE or OLB) on an island. If the OLB crashes hard down the line of scrimmage, the QB will keep the ball and run himself. Here's a look from last week's game in Washington:
In the above image, the Panthers are preparing to run a read-option run, isolatingRedskins outside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan. An aggressive player, Kerriganis eager to crash down the line of scrimmage, looking to track down the running back. Unfortunately for Ryan, that's exactly what Carolina wanted him to do.
As the outside linebacker reads run, he crashes hard, neglecting his outside contain responsibility. Quarterback Cam Newton reads Kerrigan crashing and keeps the ball himself.
By the time Washington's defense realizes it has been fooled, Newton has already rushed for 10 yards and gained a first down. Had Kerrigan trusted his teammates and played his responsibility, the play could have ended very differently.
So how can an OLB/DE properly read this play Carolina has run so successfully this season? By staying at home (in football terms, not literally).
Below, veteran linebacker London Fletcher, not as spry as Kerrigan but more experienced and wiser, counters Carolina's read-option to perfection.
Trusting his fellow linebackers and defensive linemen to do their jobs and clean up anything he turns back towards the middle of the field, Fletcher knows his responsibility on this play is to contain the edge by not crashing down the line of scrimmage.
In the above graphic, the OLB reads the run and stays home, waiting to pursue running back Jonathan Stewart or keep Newton from getting around the edge.
As the play develops, Fletcher engages his blocker while still maintaining the edge, keeping Newton from running outside. As a result, Newton's only option is to turn back inside, where Fletcher's teammates are able to converge on Cam.
By not crashing down the line of scrimmage and playing his responsibility, Fletcher limited Newton to a three-yard gain on the same play that Newton ran for 10 yards earlier in the game. Denver's outside linebackers and defensive ends can have similar success this weekend by containing the edge and not playing overly aggressive.
The option is an exciting play and has the potential to be a big play each time it is run. In Week 14, Cam Newton bolted 72-yards for a touchdown on an option keeper.
The pros to the read option are known, but the cons may eventually lead to its demise.
Either this is the future of the NFL or another Wild Cat-like fad, these option offenses only last as long as defenses cannot figure them out. Sooner or later, every option offense will be shut down.
In the 2012 divisional playoffs, the New England Patriots shut down the Broncos' read option with disciplined defense, playing assignment football. In the game, the option led to several miscues by the Broncos' offense and was ultimately responsible for Tebow suffering multiple rib, lung and chest injuries in the game.
Say what you want about Tim Tebow's ability—or lack of it—to play football in the NFL, but the moral of the story still holds true. Every read-option offense can be shut down, and running such offenses creates the unnecessary risk of quarterback injury.
For full disclosure, I am a fan of watching the read option—it is exciting. Watching a quarterback run 20-plus yards on a designed play gives the game a Madden video game-like feeling, which is entertaining.
But I have also run the read option and played against it (shutting it down, I might add). You live and die by it.
The Redskins' 2012 season ultimately ended because of a re-occurring leg injury suffered by quarterback Robert Griffin III, who ran the read option extensively in the regular season. After being abused throughout the year and further damaging his knee in the playoffs, RG3 was finally forced to leave the Wild Card game against Seattle last weekend.
With a healthy RG3, the Redskins offense was explosive. With a half-strength RG3, the Redskins offense was doll and ineffective.
In the same game that Griffin left due to injury, Seattle's Russell Wilson fumbled on an exchange with Marshawn Lynch on a read-option running play. Fortunately for the Seahawks, the ball was recovered by Lynch, and the play resulted in a net gain.
If Seattle makes it to the NFC Championship game—against either San Francisco or Green Bay—ball security will be of the utmost importance against the two ball-hawking defenses. Falling in the playoffs because of a miscue on an option play is not how Seattle wants their season to end, but it could become a reality.
As a fan, I enjoy watching the option have temporal success in the NFL. As a former defensive back and outside linebacker, I don't expect the option to have a long run in the pros (pun intended).
Time will tell the outcome of this story. In the meantime, enjoy watching the option—it may not be here much longer.

Andray Blatche is low-risk, high-reward for NetsPosted by Inside Hoops
Sep 7
Blatche's next destination will be in Brooklyn with the Nets, as he's expected to sign with the team sometime in the next few days. The move has been met with plenty of derision on the Internet, thanks in large part to many of the interesting twists and turns of Blatche's career in Washington.
But if you set aside the noise surrounding Blatche and look at the player the Nets are signing, it's hard to see this as anything other than a win-win for the Nets.
Before his disastrous final season in Washington, where he spent much of the second half of the season away from the team, Blatche posted at least a 15.00 PER in four straight seasons, with an average rebound rate, surprisingly good assist numbers – given his reputation – and good steal rates for a big man. He's also a good jump shooter, though his percentages have been terrible he's taken far too many of them over the past few years while often being the focal point of Washington's offense.
But that's the key difference between Blatche in Washington and in Brooklyn: his role on the team. Think about everything that's happened in Washington the last few years. The Wizards have been far from a picture of stability. Instead, they've been a colossal train wreck the past few years, especially since Gilbert Arenas brought guns into the locker room in late 2009.

As a Backer, I noticed the usage of third-party software tools, such as Spine and Sprite Lamp, being integrated into the ES software pipeline. I'm wondering, have these tools been useful to you as a second-party and if you know of any more specific to game production?
Likewise, I found something called AutoTileGen, "an automatic tileset generator for 2D game terrains," and its "autotile tool" — AutoTileSet. Though I do not believe these two tools have a use case in ES production, I thought you both might appreciate the idea.
Also, may I ask, what software does the team use for project management?
I hope I have not sounded too insincere.
All the best,

Given all the controversy surrounding the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act and rebellion towards the new USDA guidelines, we wanted to share our thoughts.
First, we are pleased to see more fruits, veggies, and whole grains on school lunch menus. These changes signify progress, and bring more awareness and attention to healthy eating. This is good.
However, we see many opportunities for improvement, including:
Improvement #1 – Recognize No Size Fits All
One problem we have with the new guidelines is that they put children of certain grades into a single portion size bucket. Any parent will tell you that simply won't work. My 4 year old sometimes eats as much as my 11 year old, depending on the day. It varies based on where they are in their development, activity levels, metabolism, and also how big and how recent their last meal was. Their appetite varies from day to day, as do their nutritional needs.
School lunch should provide for flexibility in appetite, regardless of grade. The maximum calorie, protein, grains, and produce restrictions per grade should be dropped.
It's ironic that the national school lunch program – which was founded to relieve hunger during the great depression and therefore founded on calorie minimums – has now swung the pendulum in the opposite direction. With the new guidelines, our national school lunches are now based on calorie maximums. Fifty years ago, we designed school lunch so children didn't starve, and now we've designed it so children don't become fat. It's clear that neither extreme works – perhaps the answer is somewhere in the middle?
What if we could start from scratch? Take a blank canvas and completely redesign school lunch. What would it look like to you?
The majority of parents that we've talked to say they want their children to eat a wholesome meal that sustains them throughout the school day. They would say the most important thing to them about school lunch is that their child has enough food energy so he can focus, absorb, and retain what he is being taught. If the lunch happens to be healthy, too, well that's a bonus.
Without those basic minimum requirements in place, even the best-intended lunch program will inevitably fail. It's not nutrition unless they eat it!
Improvement #2 – Cook From Scratch
Like the rest of our nation's food supply, school lunch in this country has sadly become a science experiment. What is often available on the lunch line is not what many of us would consider REAL FOOD. When we start over-analyzing the science of food – # calories, # fat grams, # grams protein, # milligrams sodium – all we do is give food scientists undeserved job security.
What happened to the joy of pure, simple food?
Just because a bag of Cheetos has a reduced sodium content that took 6 food scientists 8 months in a laboratory to figure out how to achieve, does not mean it is something we should feed out children. It was Hippocrates who said "Food is Medicine." but we have re-engineered and chemically manipulated food to such extent that it seems "Food is Science" is more accurate. Somewhere along the way, we over-complicated food, and the disheartening realization for us all is that our children are paying the price.
The right solution – the ONLY solution — is to get back to basics.
We must do in school kitchens what every culinary school in America does – teach how to cook food from scratch. Teach how to combine pure, raw, in-season ingredients with herbs and spices. Teach how to saute, roast, bake and steam using a good old-fashioned stove NOT a microwave or hot box.
Prepared in this manner, food has all the vitamins and nutrition our children need to grow and learn. Prepared in this manner, we wouldn't need to count sodium grams or universally restrict calorie counts. So all that money spent analyzing the science of food could instead be spent on developing fun and nutritious recipes, teaching cooking skills so children can be self-sufficient, growing school gardens that reconnect kids with the origin of food, and getting back to the basics of feeding our kids REAL FOOD.
Whether at school or at home, isn't that how our children deserve to eat?
Improvement #3 – Include More Stakeholders
Any expert on change management will tell you how important it is to involve all stakeholders in a successful change effort. The more stakeholders directly involved in the change, the greater its chance for success.
In terms of school lunch, the stakeholders include parents and kids, as well as teachers and schools, farmers and suppliers, non-profits, and our government. The answer to a successful school lunch overhaul must involve these key constituents. We would love to see more high-involvement activities incorporated into school lunch, such as:
- cooking classes taught in the school kitchen
- green thumb clubs to start up and maintain school gardens
- food clubs to source and plan menus
- nutrition education to teach kids about how foods make them feel
- farm to school programs that teach the seasonality of food
Changing school lunch is a multi-faceted, comprehensive effort, involving much more than food on trays. It requires a systemic change to the food environment, food influences, and food knowledge that exists in every child's daily life. It's time to stop narrowly obsessing about the science of the plate and instead start looking broadly at the bigger issue – our food environment.
To put all of this controversy in perspective, school lunch is only 20% of a child's weekly total food intake. It's only 5 meals a week out of a total of 21 meals (3 meals/day X 7 days/week = 21 meals/week). Rather than spending all this time, money, and energy on school lunch regulations, perhaps we should focus instead on two things:
1) increasing ACCESS to fresh fruits, vegetables, and real food, and
2) providing the EDUCATION needed to create lasting change
Eliminating childhood obesity and restoring our children's health is going to take a village. School lunch may be the place to start, but it's only the beginning.

Editor's note: The following entry was written by Tunette's mother, Tulane Holder.
The "Baby Steps" blogger will be a quarter of a century today, and what a coincidence! I was a Quarter when I had her. Even more ironic, she was the 2nd child I gave birth to, and now she will give birth to her second child at a Quarter.
During this quarter of a century, several inventions were created. Here are the top 25: cell phones, laptops, Blackberrys, debit cards, caller ID, DVDs, lithium rechargeable batteries, iPods, pay at the pump, lettuce in a bag, digital cameras, Doppler radar, flat-panel TVs, electronic tolls, PowerPoint, microwave popcorn, high tech footwear, online stock trading, Big Bertha golf clubs, disposable contact lenses, StairMaster, TiVo, Purell, Home satellite TV and Karaoke.
By far, Tunette's favorite invention has to be the cell phone, which she uses as a laptop, like a Blackberry and for just about all the other inventions. If Dr. Percy Spencer (inventor of the microwave) were still alive, it wouldn't surprise me that she would be working with him on the next generation of microwaving popcorn from the phone. Or who knows? She might be working right now with Dr. Martin Cooper, the man who invented the modern cell phone.
But most importantly, I thank God above all of the inventions for the birth of my daughter: my princess, my Quarter, born Tunette Michele Callis at 1:25 pm on Wednesday the 29th day of January 1986.
Happy Birthday, Tunette! I thank God for your life and that Jesus came so that you could have life and that you could have it more abundantly.
From your mother, Tulane Michele Holder!

Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance
Rating: PG-13 (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Runtime: 126 minutes
Barbra Streisand's self-absorbed remake of a 1958 French film stars Jeff Bridges as a college professor tired of sexual politics. He makes a deal with a dowdy colleague (Streisand) that they provide companionship for one another, with no thought of getting into bed. She agrees but soon becomes frustrated, the agreement only reinforcing her unfulfilled desire to have a complete relationship with a man. Mimi Rogers is on hand as Babs's striking sister, and Lauren Bacall received an Oscar nomination for her role as the heroine's selfish mother. The film is OK, but it becomes an irritating vanity piece for Streisand (who directed as well as stars). Her character constantly gazes upon her own reflection and is told at least a dozen times, one way or another, just how attractive she is. One wants to shout out, we get it already--you're pretty! The DVD release presents the film in both widescreen and pan and scan versions, plus a Dolby soundtrack. --Tom Keogh

Libraries open horizons by heading outdoors
Colonie, East Greenbush among sites planning new reading gardens
Published 10:25 pm, Tuesday, February 12, 2013
With heightened demand but tightening finances, area libraries are trying to expand their space by taking it outside.
In Colonie and East Greenbush, campaigns are being launched to create reading gardens where patrons can sit, read, gather with their book clubs or participate in youth programming.
In Bethlehem, which has had an outdoor space for about 40 years, plans are under way for a major renovation.
"We'd like to do something especially because we have a campus with a nice big lawn. It would extend our space in a nice way," said Richard Naylor, director of the William K. Sanford Town Library in Colonie. "We haven't had an expansion since 1989. We always want to use our space better. We took out a couple of reference sections because people don't really use reference books any more. They use the Internet. We put in some tables, and they are almost always full."
The Colonie library is looking to create a 50-by-50-foot reading garden to the left of its entrance.
East Greenbush expects to spend up to $38,000 for its outdoor area, with $15,000 coming from a state grant.
"We have a beautiful property but no space to sit outside," said Director Evelyn Butrico. "We plan to put a sidewalk around our flagpole and some benches. Libraries are changing in terms of how they are being used. They are becoming more community spaces."
Bethlehem's library is planning to renovate its outdoor space, created shortly after the current building opened in 1972. The goal is to raise $100,000 to put a roof over the stage where summer concerts are held. The stage would be made handicapped accessible, which would also make it easier for crews bringing equipment onto it.
"The outdoor spaces for libraries are ways to expand their programming space without expanding the physical space," Director Geoffrey Kirkpatrick said.
Guilderland Public Library created its reading garden in 2007. Unlike some of the others, its space — named in memory of Barbara McEneny, wife of former Assemblyman Jack McEneny — can only be accessed from inside so patrons can take magazines and books outdoors without checking them out.
"We were able to do it for less than $100,000," far less than a building addition would cost, said Director Barbara Nichols Randall.
A Clifton Park-Halfmoon Library built six years ago includes an outdoor reading garden and waterfall.
"It's used well," said Director Alexandra Gutelius. "It's a different environment for people to enjoy."
The trend is not only popular at suburban libraries. When the new John J. Bach Branch was built in Albany in 2010, an outdoor garden was included.
"If you came here in the summer months when the garden is open, you might see children using chalk on the cement walks, people of all ages reading, and maybe even somebody playing the saxophone," said branch librarian Jennifer Ward.
The Delaware Avenue branch also has an outdoor space, Albany Public Library Director Carol Nersinger said, and the main library uses a garage next door for summer garage band concerts.
"We try to use the outdoor space as much as we can," she said. "Plus, it attracts people."
With finances tight, some libraries use volunteer help to create or maintain their outdoor spaces.
In Colonie, two prospective Eagle Scouts will work to create the space, said librarian Maureen DeLaughter. One will help with the plans, while the other will be in charge of obtaining the furniture.
In East Greenbush, an architectural student drafted the drawings. At Albany's Bach branch, a volunteer weeds the garden.
Both Colonie and East Greenbush are raising money by selling bricks that can be inscribed. For $75, people can buy a brick measuring 4 inches by 4 inches that can fit three lines. For $150, they can get six lines of text on a brick measuring 8 inches by 8 inches. (In Colonie, the larger brick can also be used for three lines of text and a graphic.)
Library leaders said outdoor spaces help with growing demand for wireless service.
In Colonie, Naylor said, some 50,000 patrons use their Internet-connected computers, a number that has remained steady. But last year, some 30,000 users tapped into the library's wireless access. In the near future, he expects wireless Internet access will exceed computer use. East Greenbush's Butrico says wireless use there grows 50 percent each month.
With outdoor reading gardens, patrons can sit outside yet tap into the library's Internet access.
"If you're downloading a book to your iPad and are having trouble, a person to help isn't very far away," Butrico said.

Carlo Ancelotti is impressed with Inter and Roma reinforcements ahead of their Real Madrid encounters.
These sides will face off in the Guinness International Champions Cup, starting tonight with Real Madrid-Inter at 23.10 UK time (22.10 GMT).
"Both teams have reinforced a great deal over the summer," Ancelotti told the Corriere dello Sport.
"They made good buys, especially the Giallorossi, as Juan Iturbe is a very valid player.
"Inter made more changes, though."
Ancelotti already won the Champions League with Real Madrid in May, but added the likes of James Rodriguez and World Cup winner Toni Kroos to their ranks.
"The club is doing very well on the transfer market and I think will continue until the last available day.
"The two new arrivals will certainly be of help. I think the current squad is already more competitive than last season."
Angel Di Maria is the subject of a €45m bidding war with Manchester United and PSG interested.
"Di Maria? He is a Real Madrid player," noted Ancelotti.

Stamford mayoral race cost more than $1.3 million
Published 10:08 pm, Monday, January 13, 2014
STAMFORD -- Final campaign finance reports show Republican mayoral candidate Michael Fedele collected more than half a million dollars for his unsuccessful mayoral campaign against Democrat David Martin in a race in which the final price tag surpassed $1.3 million.
Fedele, who lost the Nov. 5 election to Martin by 569 votes, raised and spent $536,220 for his nine-month-long campaign, according to finance disclosure statements filed with the Town Clerk's Office Friday.
Martin, who took office Dec. 1, collected $394,501 since launching his campaign and was still fundraising at his inaugural gala Saturday.
Democratic City Committee Chairman John Mallozzi bemoaned the election's high cost.
"It's a shame that we have to spend that kind of money to run for the mayor of Stamford," Mallozzi said Monday. "A lot of money that was spent was a waste of time. You don't learn anything from the literature they send you. I got a brochure saying, `I want strong schools.' Everybody wants strong schools. What are you going to do about it?"
Fedele raised 76 percent of his funding through individual contributions and loaned his own campaign $50,000 in the race's final weeks. Republican Town Committee Chairman Dennis Mahoney said the candidate needed every dollar he raised to be competitive in Stamford, where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans voters by a 2-to-1 margin.
"His support was vibrant and very local and it's necessary for a Republican to come close to any Democrat in the city of Stamford," Mahoney said. "I think Mike did a great job raising money, as did the rest of the candidates. I don't lament the money in politics; it's a reality."
Martin raised 62 percent of his funding through individual contributions and chipped in $75,000 of his own money to his campaign. He continued fundraising after winning the election, requesting $150 minimum campaign contributions for an open-bar victory celebration at the Bank Street Brewery Dec. 4. His Jan. 10 campaign finance disclosures show he collected $41,436 in individual contributions between Oct. 28 and the end of the year.
The mayor's Jan. 11 inaugural gala was hosted by the Democratic City Committee, which pocketed the roughly $61,000 in proceeds from the $125 general admission ticket sales. But a $300-per-ticket champagne toast held immediately before the event benefited Martin's campaign, which recorded about $3,000 in campaign debt at the end of last year. Proceeds from Saturday's VIP reception, the final amount of which has not yet been disclosed, were used to retire the debt and offset a $25,000 loan Martin made to his own campaign on Nov. 19.
The two other mayoral candidates on the November ballot raised comparatively miniscule amounts for their campaigns. Unaffiliated candidate John Zito, who captured 438 votes in the election, raised and spent $5,933 during his 13-month-long campaign. Former Board of Finance Independent Kathleen Murphy, who also ran as an unaffiliated candidate and won 4 percent of the vote, raised $785 entirely through individual contributions and spent only $15. She paid $20,535 in campaign expenses out of her own pocket, however.
The books are still open on Murphy and Martin's campaigns, according to their financial disclosure statements. The former candidates have until March 31 to distribute any remaining surpluses from their campaigns, according to the State Elections Enforcement Commission.
The 2013 mayoral race's third-highest spender was District 147 state Rep. William Tong, who lost a September Democratic primary to Martin. Tong raised and spent $328,029 in total, 95 percent of which came from individual contributions.
Three other contenders -- Democrats Eileen Heaphy and William Callion and Republican Jerry Pia -- ran briefly for mayor but dropped out of the race before the September. The three candidates raised a combined $50,000 for their campaigns.
In total, about $1.3 million was spent for an election that saw 35 percent voter turnout. Mallozzi said he doesn't like the amount of money spent on the citywide election, but doesn't know how to curtail campaign spending.
"I don't blame the candidates," he said. "You get so paranoid at the end when you're running a campaign. The last week of the campaign we got five or six pieces of literature from the two candidates. Everyone has to do that little bit extra. It becomes a spiral."
Mahoney said campaign spending is one of several ways voters express their support for candidates.
"Campaigns will cost more money over time -- that is unfortunate," he said. "No law, nothing is going to change that. People have the right to express their opinions through writing a check for the candidates they support."

Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 12 Minutes
Servings: 12
Try with a glass of homemade almond milk. Mmmm.....
Remove pits from dates and soak in water for at least 30 minutes (3-4 hours would be better).
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
Grind the hazelnuts and almonds in a food processor until they are coarse and release just a little bit of oil. Be careful not to process for too long or you'll have hazelnut butter.
Add coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Pulse a few times until well combined. It should be like a fine flour. Transfer this mixture to a large bowl.
Add dates, coconut oil, vanilla, and honey to the food processor and process until incorporated.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, and stir to mix well.
Form the dough into balls (mine were about golf ball sized) and flatten somewhat. They don't expand very much.
Bake for approximately 12 minutes.
When cool, top with melted dark chocolate if desired.
