We disrespect and out-and-out put down the post of public advocate a whole lot around here. Really, we elect someone to office who near as we can has one job: preside over City Council meetings. We're sure there's lots of other important things that the public advocate is in charge of, but darn if we know what they are.
That said, ever since Betsy Gotbaum left office, the job has continued to attract young and talented elected officials who are more than willing to take the job.
The current public advocate, Bill de Blasio (in case you didn't know!) of Brooklyn, was a rising star in the City Council before he was elected to his current post, and he is respected enough in political circles that his name is often mentioned when the talk in smoky backrooms turns to just who will replace Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Now another young face in Brooklyn politics is hinting that he is interested in running for public advocate.
Rumors are starting to circulate that State Senator Daniel Squadron is considering mounting a campaign. Squadron, a former aide to Senator Chuck Schumer (they even wrote a book together, ya'll!), reportedly threw a fundraiser last week to raise money for a potential run.
Obviously it's the citywide exposure that draws candidates to the position, because even a borough president gets to throw some taxpayer money around every now and again.
Speaking of citywide races, with Comptroller John Liu expected to leave the post and run for mayor next year, there's no shortage of interest in his job, either.
Recently, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, who gave every indication that he, too, was going to run for mayor, obviously thought better of it and has now focused his energy on slightly less ambitious goals, announcing instead that he would run for city comptroller.
And this week, some local elected officials, including Queens/Manhattan Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, endorsed Stringer. Now, is there anyone out there interested in replacing Stringer? We bet there is!
We sure do love this game of political musical chairs that occurs every election year. Somebody cue the music!

El Sereno Group Seeks to Renovate Caltrans Bungalows
Group recently launched online fundraising campaign.
By Ileana Najarro, EGP Staff Writer
For more than 40 years, eight bungalows located behind a community arts space in El Sereno have stood abandoned by Caltrans, the owner of the property.
Over time, neglect of the bungalows has fostered illegal activities, including drug use and gang violence, endangering the neighborhood, says El Sereno native Iris De Anda.
Now, the El Sereno Bungalow Collective, an offshoot of the adjacent Eastside Café, a volunteer organization hoping to become a co-op, plans to remedy the situation by raising funds to convert the empty buildings into a larger arts space for local residents.
"We have to reclaim them as if they were ours already," Angela Flores, a spokesperson for the collective told EGP.
Lea esta nota EN ESPAÑOL: Colectiva en El Sereno Desea Renovar Casitas Abandonadas
The collective has spent the last six years organizing volunteers and trying to raise the funds needed to renovate the bungalows. But before the group could apply for grant funding, they had to first get permission from Caltrans, said Hector Flores, a collective member. To prepare for those conversations, the group, assisted by students from California State University, Los Angeles, spent three years gathering feedback from the local community. According to Flores, they presented over 500 surveys to Caltrans, which he said show that residents overwhelmingly want a safe after-school space for their children.
Flores told EGP that Caltrans ultimately supported the group's efforts on two conditions: "it's not used as a residential space and [Caltrans] could not provide any money."
However, on the heels of a report published Monday by the California Bureau of State Audits on the status of the Caltrans properties running along the proposed extension routes, the agency was unwilling to confirm their support for the bungalow project.
According to the report, Caltrans "passed up roughly $22 million in rental income for these properties between July 1, 2007, and December 31, 2011, because of poor management."
"Caltrans understands that its management of the '710 properties' has been poor and unacceptable," Matt Rocco, a Caltrans spokesperson wrote to EGP in an email. "To improve our stewardship of these properties, Caltrans is taking immediate corrective actions in line with the State Auditor's report."
The collective has received an $8,500 grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation last year. They are required to raise a matching amount. If raised, the money will be used for historic reports on the bungalows, architectural blueprints, and future community planning sessions, the group said.
The matching portion of the grant is the incentive behind a fundraising campaign launched Monday on Indiegogo, an online fundraising site, collective member Joe Parker told EGP.
"One of the strengths of the Zapatista movement, which we're known by, is to use the Internet to grow support, large networks of support," Parker said.
The group hopes to raise $10,000 by Sept. 20 through local, national and international donations made online — making the bungalow project one of the largest endeavors undertaken by the Eastside Café, Angela said, which currently does not have nonprofit status.
To increase their chances of meeting the goal, Angela coordinated a short film for the group's campaign page in which the collective explains its mission and provides background on the Eastside Café. As explained in the film, the group hopes to convert each bungalow into community art spaces, which could include a film production room, a multi-purpose performing arts room and a kitchen to teach sustainable cooking classes.
The group's main concern, however, continues to be with the proposed 710 freeway extension project.
According to Hector and Parker, a Caltrans representative a few months ago told them that the transportation agency hopes to complete the environmental impact report on the underground alternative route in a year or so: the results of the EIR could impact any future development of the bungalows, they said. Hector, however, added that "Caltrans must adhere to the Roberti Bill" which states that if the property isn't used as initially intended, then it must be sold at a reduced price. The bill may not apply, however, should the freeway project see completion, and Caltrans uses the bungalows for something else.
Caltrans tried to demolish the bungalows in the 1990s with support from some local residents, according to Parker. However, a greater majority of locals filed for a court injunction to keep the bungalows standing, he said.
De Anda, also a collective member, said that the community in El Sereno, including around the Eastside Café, does not approve of any extension project that threatens the bungalows' future.
"Since it's a low-income community, I think they think it's easy to try and squeeze it by us, but there are a lot of residents that are very vigilant and have a lot of love for this place, and they're the ones that stand up in making sure that the 710 doesn't proceed," De Anda said.
Angela says Caltrans' has a responsibility to support the collective's efforts: "They have to consider [a renovation] because they've left it abandoned for so many years and they need to listen to the community."Print This Post

Donnie Wahlberg – Honorary Spirit Driver
Those of you who know me personally know what a huge New Kids on the Block fan I am. I follow them all on Twitter to keep track of any upcoming appearances. Imagine my surprise when I noticed all of the positive and spiritually-focused tweets coming from one of the members of the group, Donnie Wahlberg.
Here's the letter that I enclosed with my autographed book in August 2011 (around his birthday):
First, I want to wish you a belated Happy Birthday. I have been an NKOTB fan since the late 80's. I was interested in writing to you now after reading all of your positive tweets.
As an author, speaker, trainer, and entrepreneur, I understand what it means to work hard and strive toward my dreams. In today's world, it's common for many people to avoid hard work and focus on having an easy, cushy lifestyle. You've proven to me that "rising and grinding" is a way of life.
Please accept my book as a gift to you. You are the type of person that I am writing about. Someone who is passionate about his work and even sees adversity as a blessing. Someone who knows that the Universe has something in store for him and shares his gifts with the world. Someone who has fun with life and encourages others to do the same. It's no wonder that you had such an outpouring of gifts and good wishes for you on your birthday.
Thanks again for all that you do. I wish you the best in all of your personal and professional endeavors. I will definitely continue to follow you on Twitter as it brings a smile to my face everyday!

Testing Methodology
Testing Methodology
Testing a drive is not as simple as putting together a bunch of files, dragging them onto folder on the drive in Windows and using a stopwatch to time how long the transfer takes. Rather, there are factors such as read / write speed and data burst speed to take into account. There is also the SATA controller on your motherboard and how well it works with SSDs & HDDs to think about as well. For best results you really need a dedicated hardware RAID controller w/ dedicated RAM for drives to shine. Unfortunately, most people do not have the time, inclination or monetary funds to do this. For this reason our test-bed will be a more standard motherboard with no mods or high end gear added to it. This is to help replicate what you the end users experience will be like.
Even when the hardware issues are taken care of the software itself will have a negative or positive impact on the results. As with the hardware end of things, to obtain the absolute best results you do need to tweak your OS setup; however, just like with the hardware solution most people are not going to do this. For this reason our standard OS setup is used. However, except for the Windows 7 load test times we have done our best to eliminate this issue by having the drive tested as a secondary drive. With the main drive being a Kingston HyperX 240GB Solid State Drive.
For synthetic tests we used a combination of the ATTO Disk Benchmark, HDTach, HD Tune, Crystal Disk Benchmark, IOMeter, AS-SSD, Anvil Storage Utilities and PCMark 7.
For real world benchmarks we timed how long a single 10GB rar file took to copy to and then from the devices. We also used 10gb of small files (from 100kb to 200MB) with a total 12,000 files in 400 subfolders.
For all testing a Asus P8P67 Deluxe motherboard was used, running Windows 7 64bit Ultimate edition. All drives were tested using AHCI mode using Intel RST 10 drivers.
All tests were run 4 times and average results are represented.
In between each test suite runs (with the exception being IOMeter which was done after every run) the drives are cleaned with either HDDerase, SaniErase or OCZ SSDToolbox and then quick formatted to make sure that they were in optimum condition for the next test suite.
Please note:
Due to the unique nature of the hybrid setup certain tests results have been omitted as they require an unformatted drive to test or gave erroneous results.

CRYSTAL LAKE – In the Feb. 26 Algonquin Township supervisor primary election, Marc Munaretto, the current township clerk, will run against the incumbent of 10 years, Dianne Klemm.
Munaretto is the former chairman of the McHenry County Board's Finance and Audit Committee. There, he created a financial model that allowed the committee to measure the future impact of financial decisions. As supervisor, Munaretto said he would apply his county model to Algonquin Township's finances.
"I have a firm grasp of what the real dollar expenses are for the township," Munaretto said. "I'd like to have an opportunity to apply the rigorous financial enterprise skills I have."
He believes that the methods and plans under Klemm's direction are "adrift," and that the current financial audit "lacks thoroughness" and needs a "clear and transparent audit policy." Munaretto also believes the investment policy, which has not been updated as frequently as he would like, needs enhancement.
Munaretto contends Klemm has raised taxes every year during her four-year term, including a 2.65 percent increase in November. Klemm denies taxes have been raised in the past two years, except for a slight increase for the General Assistance program last year.
She said she does not intend to raise taxes and has frozen the levy this year.
Financially, maintenance is among her concerns because the township building becomes older and needs work. Other than that and her hope to consolidate a loan, she is not concerned about the township's financial condition. She is focused on supporting the community with continued programs such as bingo and lunch for seniors, "Singles Walking and Talking" and even line dancing.
Since she began 10 years ago, she said she has made large strides toward improving township programming.
"When I came here, the building was pretty empty. We had bingo; that was probably it," Klemm said. "Now it's full. That's the way I would like to see it used."
Munaretto hopes to improve upon the foundation Klemm has established.
Three programs he would like to implement include networking opportunities for the unemployed, which would allow them to use free computer resources; a program for Algonquin veterans, who he believes are not receiving the services and resources they need; and improved programs for seniors, such as enhanced health and wellness awareness. The programs will not cost the township or the Algonquin citizens any money.
"Those are the high points that are driving me to run for supervisor," he said.
Munaretto also plans to lower taxes.
"We can't continue to [raise taxes]," he said. "We have to do better with less. I hope to do that if I'm elected."

New London police on verge of new era in radio communication
New London - Contractors are on the roof and digging into the walls of the New London Police Department this month to install wiring and antennas as part of a $2.38 million investment in a radio communication system overhaul.
It's part of the groundwork for a joint venture in which New London police, fire and other departments will use Waterford's infrastructure and more advanced 800 megahertz digital communications network.
In advance of federal narrow-banding radio requirements, the City Council last year weighed the option of upgrading the city's own aging system. Instead, the council opted to go with Waterford, which already had invested millions in technology that not only allows improved coverage but also enhances interoperability, said project manager Tammy Daugherty, New London's director of planning and development.
Waterford's system allows dispatchers, with the flick of a switch, to connect police, fire and other users in "talking groups," who are able to communicate without interfering with other groups.
Each municipality will retain its emergency dispatch centers, though talks about a shared system between the two, along with East Lyme, continue.
Daugherty said the purchase and installation of the equipment and accompanying training are occurring simultaneously this month in hopes the system will be up and running by June. The City Council on April 15 approved the $2.38 million emergency appropriation. It is bonded money and part of the public safety capital projects fund, according to city records.
New London signed a contract with Waterford through 2018 with annual maintenance fees based on a $279.92 cost per user. The current cost estimate for fiscal year 2013-14, based on 335 users annually, is $93,773. The total annual maintenance contract with Harris Co. for the two towns is $209,099.
New London Police Deputy Chief Peter Reichard said emergency dispatch consoles are being installed, about 80 new mobile radios will be passed out, and about 30 vehicles will be outfitted in the coming weeks.
Reichard said he expects "communications are going to be flawless between our two towns."
"We're confident it will be what we need for the future," Reichard said. "The high-band ... radios have better capabilities."
Once the police department is done, installation in fire department vehicles will begin.
"From my perspective, because of the age of the old system, I think we'll be better off from an emergency services standpoint," New London Fire Chief Henry Kydd said.
An added feature, Kydd said, is the ability to identify each individual radio user - a feature that could be extremely helpful in the event of a firefighter emergency.
The system also comes in handy for regional responses or special events like Sailfest since talk groups can be added or deleted without affecting normal fire or police operations, he said.
Waterford Police Sgt. Steve Bellos said Waterford has invested $6.8 million on the Harris P25 system and has built five sites across town with towers and antennas. Once online, Bellos said, the system immediately offered service in some former dead spots, something New London also hopes to achieve. The Waterford system was approved in 2007 and went online in April 2010.
"We built the system with the intention (of) not necessarily looking at regionalization, but sharing with other municipalities around us," Bellos said.

Macey Scholars: Caruthers and Edwards, July 19, 2001
SOCORRO, N.M., July 19, 2001 -- Albuquerque area natives James W. Caruthers and Lisa Marie Edwards, both seniors at New Mexico Tech, recently were named Macey Scholars at the university. The honor includes a $5,000 scholarship for each of the awardees. (Graduate student Bonnie Wayne was also named a Macey Scholar. For the story on her, please see
Caruthers, the son of James R. and Joyce C. Caruthers of Albuquerque, is a graduate of St. Pius X High School. He currently is pursuing two bachelor of science degrees, one in math and one in physics, at New Mexico Tech.
Caruthers has worked at Tech as a technician for the school's Langmuir Laboratory for Atmospheric Research and as a supplemental instructor for classes in college algebra.
This summer, Caruthers is actively involved as team coordinator of New Mexico Tech's "Team FRACTAL" research project, in which 10 Tech students will participate in a reduced-gravity experiment aboard NASA's famed KC-135A aircraft--a military version of a Boeing 707 which has been affectionately dubbed by its various passengers over the years as the "Vomit Comet."
"New Mexico Tech is a great place to focus on education and research," Caruthers says. "The small enrollment is ideal for getting research experience at the undergraduate level. And, the professors at Tech are genuinely concerned with instructing the students, putting forth more effort than can expected."
Caruthers, who attends the state-supported research university on a Silver Scholarship, also was recently chosen as the recipient of the school's Abraham and Esther Brook Prize for Excellence in Physics.
Edwards, the daughter of Thomas and Cathy Edwards of Rio Rancho, is a graduate of Cibola High School. She also is pursuing two bachelor of science degrees at the university, majoring in mathematics and psychology with a minor in biology.
Edwards has served as a student ambassador for New Mexico Tech during New Student Orientations and MESA Shadow Days, a service she has been performing since she first arrived at the school. She also currently works as a tutor at the Tech Writing Center and conducts research on determining intelligence factors in laboratory rats.
"New Mexico Tech is a wonderful school," Edwards says. "I love the friendly atmosphere here--the small school size and personal attention from professors and staff members were the main reasons I decided to come to Tech. The education I have received here has definitely prepared me for the challenges of optometry school. . . . And, I'm looking forward to my final year here at Tech."
Edwards, who is the treasurer of the university's chapter of Tri-Beta, the international biology honor society, also attends New Mexico Tech on a Silver Scholarship.
(Tech student Bonnie Wayne also was chosen this year as a Macey Scholar, but was unavailable for an interview.)
Tech students chosen to participate in the William and Jean Macey Scholars Program are selected on the basis of their demonstrated academic accomplishments, both in the classroom and research laboratory, as well as their active participation in institutional service and co-curricular activities.
The Macey Scholars Program is funded by an endowment established by William B. and Jean M. Macey of Albuquerque and Tucson. William Macey graduated from the New Mexico School of Mines (as New Mexico Tech was known in its early years) in 1942 and also was awarded an honorary doctorate by Tech in 1984.

Glenn Beck Calls Kettle Black
Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly have had it with parent companies getting involved with the content of cable news! They are talking, of course, about
News Corporation General Electric.
Fox News yesterday infiltrated General Electric's shareholder meeting and inundated company executives with questions about why MSNBC is crushing so hard on Barack Obama and why CNBC is being turned into the president's concubine or something.
Tonight network shouting heads Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly revealed their running theory in a conversation with each other: NBC News is "nothing but a propaganda machine... to make money for GE" by promoting limits on global warming.
Obviously, Rupert Murdoch's minions are shocked — shocked — at the very idea that a media conglomerate would use its properties in concert with one another to advance its owner's political line.
