His new name, 'Blubber'
To the Editor:
The moment Bubba Watson made his last shot to win the Masters Golf Tournament, he reached over to his caddy and gave him a big jug and he started to cry. This went on for a couple of minutes. Then he went over to his wife and kids and there was more crying. Everyone that came over to him to shake his hand or hug was greeted with more tears.
If he doesn't learn to get better control of his emotions, they will start calling him "Blubber" Watson.

Video: Buffalo School Board Expected to Make Decision on Schools
Video: Buffalo School Board Expected to Make Decision
BUFFALO, NY--The Buffalo School Board voted to make Johns Hopkins the educational partnership organization for East and Lafayette high schools, and allow students at both schools to take classes with BOCES.
Every board member voted for the plan, except for Carl Paladino.
State Education Commissioner John King gave the district until August 12th to decide between two plans involving BOCES programs, but the board opted to vote on it Wednesday night.
The Buffalo School Board decided on the plan that involves giving parents the option of sending their children to BOCES, but it comes with a multi-million dollar price tag.
And, it is not a done deal because the State Education Commissioner still has to sign off on it.
"They do have some very good programs and they do offer some programs that we don't offer here in the district, so we think it's the best of both worlds," said School Board President Barbara Nevergold about BOCES.
The district also wants to stay with the Johns Hopkins educational turnaround experts to fix graduation rates at East and Lafayette High Schools.
"You can't submit the same application that they had previously submitted and the previous application was for Johns Hopkins to be the EPO, and that's just what they voted on. It's going to be rejected by the state. You have to understand that the state found problems with that application, and these people apparently just don't get it," he says.
The second option under consideration would have given BOCES full authority over both high schools, something the BOCES superintendent said would not be feasible this close to the start of the school year.
Paladino says for parents trying to plan for the school year, there are still a lot of uncertainties.
"I don't have answers to all those questions. I just know that we could've been a little more creative in the way we approached the response," he says.
Keeping Johns Hopkins as the Educational Partnership Organization also comes with a hefty price: $2.2-$5.2-million.
The district would pay for Johns Hopkins' services, as well as BOCES, busing and a longer school day, plus, the unknown cost of making BOCES classes available to students who do not speak English as their primary language.
"We're working within the constraints that we've been given, and I hope that the state will understand that and that they will work with us so that we can move forward with our plan," says Nevergold.
All of that money would have to come from budget cuts, grants and the district's contingency account. The state will not help out.
The board said Wednesday night that it will present this first draft of its plan to the state before the August 12 deadline.

Allergies are physiological reactions caused when the immune system reacts to a foreign substance (allergen) that has been inhaled, touched, or eaten by a person.
Normally, the human body defends itself against harmful substances, such as viruses or bacteria, but, sometimes, the defenses aggressively attack usually harmless substances such as dust, mold, or pollen.
The immune system makes large amounts of the antibodies called immunoglobin E (IgE), to attack and destroy the supposed enemy. Each IgE antibody targets a particular allergen—the substance that triggers the allergic reaction. In this disease-fighting process, inflammatory chemicals, such as histamines, cytokines, and leukotrienes are released or produced, and some unpleasant, and, in extreme cases, life-threatening, symptoms may be experienced by an allergy-prone person.
An allergic reaction may occur in the skin, eyes, lining of the stomach, nose, sinuses, throat, and lungs—places where immune system cells are located to fight off invaders that are inhaled, swallowed, or come in contact with the skin. Reactions may result in the following:
Seasonal or allergic rhinitis (nasal stuffiness, sneezing, nasal itching, nasal discharge, itching in ears or roof of mouth)
Allergic conjunctivitis (red, itchy, watery eyes)
Atopic dermatitis or eczema (red, itchy, dry skin)
Urticaria (hives or itchy welts)
Contact dermatitis (itchy rash)
Asthma (airway problems, such as shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing)
Although hundreds of ordinary substances could trigger allergic reactions, the most common triggers, called allergens, include the following:
Tree, grass, and weed pollens
Natural rubber latex (protein)
Dust mites
Animal protein (dander, urine, oil from skin)
Insect stings
Cockroach droppings and body parts
Allergies can affect anyone. Generally, they are more common in children. However, a first-time occurrence can happen at any age, or recur after many years of remission.
There's a tendency for allergies to occur in families, although the exact genetic factors that cause it aren't yet understood. Often, the symptoms of allergies develop gradually over time.
Allergy sufferers may become used to chronic symptoms, such as sneezing, nasal congestion, or wheezing, that they do not consider their symptoms to be unusual. Yet, with the help of an allergist, these symptoms can usually be prevented or controlled and quality of life greatly improved.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical exam, your child's doctor may use the following:
Skin test. The skin test is a method of measuring the child's level of IgE antibodies to specific allergens. Using diluted solutions of specific allergens, an allergist pricks the surface of the skin with these solutions on plastic prongs. A reaction to the skin test doesn't always mean that your child is allergic to the allergen that caused the reaction. Skin tests provide faster results, typically taking 15 minutes, and are more specific than blood tests.
Blood test. The blood test is used to measure the child's level of IgE antibodies to specific allergens. One common blood test is called RAST (radioallergosorbent test).
Challenge test. This is a test supervised by an allergist because a very small amount of allergen is taken by mouth or inhaled.
Your child's doctor will consider your child's age, overall health, and other factors when advising the best treatment. Medications can help lessen allergy symptoms. In some cases, allergy shots are needed. This involves injecting small amounts of the allergic substances. This stimulated the immune system to fight the allergy. Allergy shots are usually needed weekly for a time, then every few weeks and are given by an allergist.

I had the opportunity to open an Elite in a music store. The cabinet sealing system is amazing. The inside craftmanship is a testiment to the quality you will hear. I wish more accordionists could see this instrument in person. Money in the bank!

FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (WUSA)_ - Turns out you cannot say whatever you want on the Internet.
A judge today ordered a Fairfax County woman to take down parts of her nasty review of her contractor.
And she may yet face hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages. Jane Perez asked an old high school classmate to fix up her townhouse here and when things went wrong she fired him, then went online to Yelp.com and Angie's List to warn others.
She called Christopher Dietz a 'con man' and suggested he might have stolen her jewelry.
But Dietz is fighting back, and winning.
"To finally win on principal and morality and to know good people prevail, that makes me very, very happy," said Dietz.
Dietz was crowing outside the courthouse after winning a preliminary injunction against a former customer who wrote a series of scathing on-line reviews.
" What she put up there were pure lies, stated as fact. That damage can never be undone. But I can stop future damage," he said.
Jane Perez says she never imagined her review on Yelp and Angie's List would land her in court facing thousands of dollars in legal fees... and potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages for defamation.
She'd hired Dietz to install a toilet, refinish floors, and fix some light switches.
But when things went south, she wrote that Dietz had damaged her home and hinted he'd stolen her jewelry.
The judge ordered her to take down any allegations of thievery... and to stop claiming she'd won another lawsuit against Dietz "on the merits."
Her lawyer James Bacon says there's a warning here for all of us.
"Be very careful. It appears, at least in Virginia, you have to watch very carefully what you say and opine. And often those things can be used to bring claims like this," said Bacon
But the judge did NOT order Perez to change a bunch of other nasty things in her review.
"The work was not completed, that he charged for work that had not been done. And that the work was very poor," she said.
"I stand by the work I did," Dietz said.
Experts say the number of lawsuits like this is still small.
But on-line reputations are now so important to restaurants, doctors, lawyers -- and contractors -- we may well see more.
It's a battle of internet free speech versus reputation -- and profit.
You never know if these reviews are written by the business owner himself -- or a competitor.
But they can be powerful.
Dietz says he may have lost nearly one million dollars from Jane Perez's nasty reviews.

Have you ever wanted to get your web based Hotmail in Linux without using a browser? Well, now you can. Here's a fairly simple way to make Kmail, Evolution, and others work with Hotmail just like Outlook Express does.
Getting the software
First the software:
You'll need to get HTTPMail from http://sourceforge.net. As of April 5, 2002 the newest version is 0.3, and can be found here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/h...ail-0.3.tar.gz
HTTPMail (the perl version) needs XMLPath, which should be included with most distros. If you don't have it installed, check the CDs for your distro or do a google search.
Unpack the archive
Now, the only part of the unpacked tarball we will use are these:
.../windows-1252.enc .../windows-1252.xml and the contents (files and folders) of .../perl
I suggest you make a separate place for these (like ~/.hotmail)
If you do, you should, in .hotmail, have windows-1252.enc, windows-1252.xml, get_httpmail.pl, httpmail_proxy.pl, httpmailrc, README, and a directory called Mail.
Now, open up the httpmailrc in a text editor and see what it says. It is pretty self-explantory. If you want to download mail, enter your hotmail address at "user=" and your password at "passwd=". For the save file, I used .httpmail.mbox, so it looks like "savefile=/home/user/.httpmail.mbox" If you want to get all the mail (new and read) at Hotmail, set "onlynew=no" and if you want to delete it when you download it, set "leave=no".
Next we need to put httpmailrc where they want it. Copy it to ~/.httpmailrc (I like these things to be hidden). Now you've got the perl program setup, so let's automate it.
To make the perl program check Hotmail, cron is the easiest way I know to do it. Make a new file (anywhere) called newcron (for example). That file should look like this (and you must use the asterices, AND the space between each one):
Now, save that and at the command prompt run "cron newcron". That adds the command to cron. If you don't want it to check every five minutes (*/5) you can change that to every ten (*/10) and so on. Now we have one more step.Code:*/5 * * * * /home/user/.gethotmail
Make a file in your home directory called ".gethotmail"...notice that in the cron file? .gethotmail should look like this:
Make that script executable (chmod +x .gethotmail) and that's it. Now your computer is all set up to download email from Hotmail and story it locally in an mbox file. All that's left is to set your mail client to do that. Here are two examples.Code:#! /bin/bash cd /home/user/.hotmail/ ./get_httpmail.pl
Kmail: Settings -> Configure Kmail click Network fill in your ISPs information for SMTP (you can't do this, as far as I know, with Hotmail) under "Incoming Mail" click Add choose "Local Mailbox" and OK for "Location" put /home/user/.httpmail.mbox Check "Enable interval mail checking" and set the time to whatever you like
Now you have Hotmail access with Kmail!
Evolution: Tool -> Mail Settings click Add enter the information you want in the first wizard screen set "Server Type" to "Local delivery" set "Path" to /home/user/.httpmail.mbox enter the information for your ISPs SMTP server name the account
Now you have Hotmail access with Evolution!
The key part is up to and including the bash script. Everything after that can be set for which ever email client you like the best.
- file names (newcron, .gethotmail, and .httpmail.mbox) and the directory .hotmail are all the ones that I use, you may use whatever name you want, just if you change it in one instance, change it in all), the directory /home/user should obviously be changed to YOUR home directory

LG Mobile announced that it will halt both time and investment in tablet development and instead concentrate their attention on making smartphones including the Optimus L7, Optimus 4G LTE and Gossip Pro
Ken Hong, an LG spokesman, couldn't have made it any clearer when he told Bloomberg, "We've decided to put all new tablet development on the back burner for the time being in order to focus on smartphones."
LG launched the Optimus Pad LTE earlier this year, but hasn't been able to make any inroads against Apple, Amazon and Samsung in the tablet market. The South Korean electronics manufacturer will try to turn around its smartphone business by concentrating on its Optimus line of Android devices. Hong also noted that the company is still interested in making phones using Microsoft's Windows Phone software.

THE CHRONICLES OF SARNIA IISting GM Alan Millar on Katic, Martin, DiBo
by Chris Botta
One week after we provided an analysis of the three Islanders draft picks with the Sarnia Sting of the Ontario Hockey League, Point Blank contacted Sarnia GM Alan Millar to get his take on the trio.
Mark Katic: 2007 third round pick
"I'm really proud of Mark this year," said Millar. "Because he's 5-10, people think it all has to be about his offensive stats. But Mark's game has evolved into much more than that. His defense has become excellent, and he's still among the top dozen D scorers in the Ontario Hockey League. I've said that if there was such a thing as a 'third assist,' Mark would lead the league in scoring because his first pass is so instrumental in our success. His skating and his poise get us out of trouble every time.
"He's grown so much as a player and a man. He was definitely disappointed when he wasn't invited to the camp for Team Canada, but that was their loss. What I really liked about Mark's attitude was that as upset as he had every right to be, he refused to take one step back. He went the other direction, turned the setback into a positive. That tells you a lot about what Mark's made of.
"Mark will be ready to turn pro at the end of this season. I'm sure he'll need the proper amount of development time in Bridgeport, but he has the potential to be a very good player for the Islanders."
Matt Martin, 2008 fifth round pick
"There is no question in my mind that Matt Martin will play for the New York Islanders," said Millar with complete confidence.
"He has come so far for us. Two years ago he was a walk-on at our training camp. Now he's probably going to score 30 goals this season. This kid wants to be a hockey player. He wants it so bad and you see it in how he approaches every practice, every game, everything he does.
"He's athletic – conditioning-wise he is a specimen. But he's not a one-dimensional player. He's become a good power forward and as our captain he's our unquestioned leader. He's an absolute joy to have on our team and I know the Islanders feel the same way about him."
Justin DiBenedetto – 2008 sixth round pick
"Justin has been in the Ontario Hockey League for five years," said Millar. "He started out as a first round pick of St. Michael's and I'm proud of making the trade that brought him to Sarnia. He has 34 goals and 34 assists in his first 45 games this season.
"Foy anyone who wanted to make the argument that he was in a secondary role playing on Steve Stamkos's line last season, look at what he's done this year as our go-to guy. He's evolved into a leader. He's up there with (John) Tavares and (Taylor) Hall as one of the league's scoring leaders."
So, to address one of the Islanders' biggest offseason questions, do you think DiBenedetto has a shot of someday playing in the NHL?
"Yeah, I do," said the Sarnia GM. "Justin will give himself that chance. Look at his overall play – he has become a complete player. He's competing in the scoring areas like some critics thought he might not. And when he gets a chance to score, he's a great finisher. The consistency knock on him you're hearing less and less.
"He'll need the development time in the American League, but the Islanders have done a nice job with him and I believe they will continue to. We see a lot of their people – Ryan (Jankowski), Tim MacLean, Eric Cairns. I feel Justin is going to get his chance with the Islanders, and they will be really happy with the results."

BUFFALO, NY - A University at Buffalo professor and his students have scored a major coup, after NASA agreed to send the satellite they spent two years designing and building, into space.
The shoe boxed sized "GLADOS"-- which stand for "Glint Analyzing Data Observation Satellite" is designed to track the size and orbit of "space junk".
While the hundreds of thousands of "dead" items now cluttering lower space pose almost no danger to people on earth, they can potentially wreak havoc on anything of value orbiting the globe, such as satellites, telescopes, or the manned space station.
"An object the size of a marble could actually wipe out a satellite," explained John Crassidis, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at UB, who noted that both the space debris and the object it might collide with would each be traveling 17,500 miles per hour.
Indeed, just one year ago astronauts operating the International Space Station had to take shelter in a Soyuz capsule attached to the space station amid the threat of a space junk strike.
Crassidis has long theorized that glints of sunlight reflecting off space debris, could determine its size, shape, mass and spin.
GLADOS, with its on board cameras and navigation equipment, could possibly help predict the path of space debris several months in advance, thus avoiding orbital collisions, and the untold damage it could create upon craft, whose course could then be altered.
The US Air Force provided a grant for $300,000 to fund the prototype, which Crassidis and a team of 40 engineering students then designed and built.
Getting the Glint Analyzing Data Observation Satellite into space is a huge step, not only for Crassidis, but also for his students who view the practical experience as priceless.
"It's phenomenal," said Andrew Dianneti, a Senior engineering major from Lancaster. "It's something that's very rewarding and something we're all very fortunate to be a part of," he said.

Incipio already makes some of the best iPhone accessories out there, with a huge line of protective carrying cases that run the gamut from slim and lightweight to ultra tough. But with today's mobile accessory of the week, the cell phone accessories maker has turned it up a notch. Meet the Atlas, Incipio's new waterproof iPhone 5 case.
This newly released accessory is perfectly timed for summer, when you'll probably need a waterproof iPhone case. Meanwhile, the Atlas is well-geared to take on any other wear and tear your phone might see during your summer adventures.
The tempered glass front on this iPhone 5 case is the secret to its waterproofing, while its high-density silicone skin provides shock absorption and proetcts from drops, even on hard surfaces.
Probably one of the most protective cases Incipio's ever made, the Atlas not only offers top-notch protection from water, but is otherwise perfect for a day at the beach, since it also protects your phone from dust and dirt.
A quick look at Incipio's campaign video for the Atlas will show you the kind of abuse this carrying case is designed to handle. We see a skier drop his iPhone into a pile of snow, and a beach-goer kick sand all over hers.
If you're an active type who likes to get out and bout, it's nice not to have to worry about whether or not your phone is safe all the time. And with the Incipio Atlas, you'll be able to just go about your day and know your phone is well protected. Not to mention the case is really compact and is easy to snap on and off
Because it provides so much protection from so many different dangers, we'd even venture to say that the Atlas is the best iPhone 5 case Incipio has ever made. And with the company's already impressive lineup of iPhone accessories, that's saying something.

A Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy threw a bottle of Jim Beam Red Stag flavored bourbon whiskey into a Henderson field after it was discovered in Deputy Adam B. Hallett's patrol vehicle.
That bottle is the only evidence of a crime in the latest of a string of alleged misconduct incidents that have plagued the Sheriff over the past year.
It is the one common statement and the smoking gun in two redacted reports released by the County Attorney today.
The sheriff's report is available here: http://bit.ly/SCAsr2
The County Attorney's report is available here: http://bit.ly/WLZq5B
Sheriff John P. Burns and County Attorney David J. Paulsen prepared these reports for a special meeting of the Board of Legislators Tuesday, which moved into a closed-door executive session shortly after convening.
After mulling over the reports, the board came out of executive session to vote unanimously in support of asking an outside entity to conduct an investigation into the Dec. 1 incident in which Deputy Hallett was found asleep in his patrol vehicle several hours after he went off duty.
Those reports were released to the media Wednesday with certain names and sentences redacted.
Some of the blacked out names belong to the witnesses who called 911 to report a Sheriff's patrol vehicle pulled over on the side of County Route 72 in the town of Henderson at approximately 9:00 p.m.
Some of the names, however, belong to a Sheriff's deputy and sergeant who responded to the call.
The deputy, according to earlier reports, is believed to be Deputy Matthew A. Vaughn, who has been disciplined by the sheriff for not following proper protocol at the scene where Deputy Hallett's vehicle was discovered.
In his report, Mr. Burns states that, at 9 p.m. on Dec. 1, he received a call relaying that Deputy Vaughn had discovered Deputy Hallett in his vehicle off the side of the road and that Deputy Hallett "appeared to have been drinking," according to Deputy Vaughn.
At that point, the sheriff asked if the patrol vehicle had been damaged or if any damage had been done to property in the area. He was told no. Mr. Burns asked if anyone had witnessed Deputy Hallett driving or had lodged a complaint against him. Again, he was told no. Mr. Burns then asked was if anyone knew how Deputy Hallett had arrived at his current location. He was told no.
Mr. Burns then instructed that Deputy Hallett's vehicle be placed in the garage of the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building and that Deputy Hallett be taken home.
When Mr. Burns announced that he was charging Deputy Hallett with an open container violation on Jan. 10, he told the Times that he was not called to the scene that day, nor was he advised of all the circumstances.
Mr. Burns announced he was launching an internal investigation into the matter Dec. 20, after being apprised of "additional information."
According to his report, the information Mr. Burns received that night apparently did not include any mention of a witness.
However, according to Mr. Paulsen's report, a 911 call came in at approximately 9 p.m. from a couple who had noticed a Sheriff's patrol vehicle pulled over to the side of County Route 72 with its driver slumped over the wheel.
The vehicle's engine was running and its parking lights were on. Deputy Hallett, who is a K-9 officer, had his dog in the vehicle at the time.
K-9 officers are authorized to use their marked patrol vehicles to transport their K-9s to and from their homes and to respond on an on-call basis when a K-9 unit is needed.
"The driver was slumped over the wheel and appeared to be unconscious," according to Mr. Paulsen's report.
According to a summary of the 911 dispatch communications, the witnesses confirmed that the vehicle was running, the dog was inside the vehicle, the driver was unresponsive to the point he could not raise his arms, and that when the occupant did speak, he identified himself as Mark Hallett.
A Henderson Harbor ambulance and state police unit also responded to the scene only to be dismissed by Deputy Vaughn.
According to the report, Deputy Hallett told Deputy Vaughn that he had come from his friend's house "just around the corner" on County Route 123. Deputy Hallett said he was very tired and wanted to go home.
Deputy Vaughn noted that Hallett was "slow in speech and acted somewhat intoxicated."
It was then that Deputy Vaughn noticed a bottle of liquor in the center console of Deputy Hallett's vehicle.
Deputy Vaughn removed the bottle from the vehicle, noted that it appeared to have been opened, and threw it into the field, disposing of the only solid evidence of his colleague's drinking.
Hallett stated that the bottle was a Christmas gift when questioned about it by Deputy Vaughn.
The liquor in the bottle goes unnamed in Mr. Paulson's version of events but is identified as "Red Stag Liquor" in the sheriff's report.
Deputy Hallett and the K-9 were taken to a nearby residence until a friend picked them up.
Deputy Hallett's side arm and shotgun and taser were returned, along with the vehicle, to the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building where they were secured.
Commenting on the sheriff's report, Michael J. Docteur, R – Cape Vincent, said, "The document speaks for itself. It begs for more information as to what happened that night."
Robert J. Thomas, R – Glen Park, said he was motivated to call the outside investigation by a desire to relieve the Sheriff of the burden of having to investigate his own department.
"We're all working as a team, and I want to stress team, to resolve this matter and move on," he said.
Mr. Thomas, who was a police officer for 48 years and former chief of Brownville, Dexter, and Glen Park, added that "this is a big distraction," and that he wanted to allow the sheriff to resume his primary duties and allow the "excellent men and women" of the department to operate unfettered by the taint of scandal.
"I don't have any problem with John Burn's leadership," he said.
Mr. Thomas was the second legislator to motion to approve the investigation, following Scott R. Gray, chairman of the Finance and Rules Committee, who has been the most outspoken proponent of an outside investigation since the subject was first broached following a $50 million lawsuit filed by Deputy Krystal G. Rice against the department in April 2012.
Ms. Rice claims she was deceived into posing nude for photographs to be used as part of an online pedophilia investigation. Ms. Rice claims she signed a contract agreeing to the pose for the photos for use in the investigation, provided the photos be returned to her upon request. The photos apparently went missing, along with the contract, which entitled her to receive $1 million per missing photo. She contends there are 50 photos unaccounted for.
That incident occurred in 2006. In Nov. 2012, much of the suit was dismissed by State Supreme Court Justice James P. McClusky, who ruled that the one year statute of limitations had expired on several of the claims
Mr. Thomas is not the only county official supporting the sheriff.
Ronald H. Cole, chairman of the Jefferson County Democratic Committee and another former police chief, was at the board special session Tuesday night to lend his support to Mr. Burns.
Mr. Cole acknowledged that the incident was a difficult one for the sheriff. "The deputy had alcohol in the vehicle and that's a no no... Law-enforcement personnel are held to a much higher standard."
Mr. Docteur also said that he would like to have seen Sheriff's deputies holding their peers to the same standards they hold the public.
Mr. Cole said that he believes Mr. Burns and the county District Attorney's office did the best they could with the evidence they were provided by personnel on the scene.
Acknowledging that this incident has become something of a lightning rod for the Sheriff due to the build-up of accusations of misconduct over the past year, Mr. Cole still thinks that the sheriff will weather the storm.

I don't remember where I got it, but I have a fondant recipe that calls for cooking the syrup, pouring it into a food processor, letting it cool to 60c, then blitzing it....
Hello everyone, newbie here. There's a recipe for "Food Processor Poured Fondant" in The Cake Bible by Rose Beranbaum. Other than glazing petits fours, I've only used it to make the centers for chocolate covered cherries (which everyone in my family loves except me - I'm a caramel and nougat junkie myself). Just got Greweling's book about a week ago, and am eager to try the food processor method with his fondant. Meanwhile, here's the Rose recipe:
500g sugar
118g water
82g corn syrup
Cook to 238F. Immediately pour into food processor bowl, insert a clean thermometer, allow it to cool (uncovered) to 140F, add flavorings, process a couple of minutes until it's opaque, pour it into a sealable container, cool completely, seal it so it's airtight, and let it rest at room temp for 24 hours. To use, heat the fondant over a water bath, and thin it to the required consistency with a warm stock syrup (i.e., 30% - 1 part water to 2 parts sugar by volume).

MADRID - The Madrid-Waddington Central School District has established an educational foundation with the Northern New York Community Foundation in order to provide donors with an easy way to support the school.
Were very excited, Superintendent Lynn M. Roy said. Its another resource for our community to support our school.
The new foundation will allow individual donors, businesses and community organizations to support the school with a gift or through their will. And because its a charitable foundation, the gift will be tax-deductible.
The fund will be managed by the Community Foundation for the foreseeable future.
Over time the fund will grow, Rande S. Richardson, Community Foundation executive director, said. Now the structure is in place that provides an opening for people who want to benefit the district broadly.
Mr. Richardson said the foundation is especially valuable in todays climate of uncertain federal and state funding for local schools.
The main intent of this is to provide programming and equipment and supplies for the school that wouldnt normally be funded through the budgetary process, he said.
Mrs. Roy said the program will also allow donors to earmark where they want their donations to go.
Money could be set aside for the music department or the athletic department, for instance, providing them with extra money to bolster programing, Mrs. Roy said.
While theyre still in the preliminary stages of getting the fund off the ground, Mrs. Roy said the district will likely have a committee set up that will be responsible for dispersing the funding appropriately.
The district will determine how much will be given out and where, Mr. Richardson said. Its about empowering the school to figure out where [the money is] spent.
Anyone looking to make a charitable donation to Madrid-Waddington Central School can contact the Community Foundation at 782-7110.
The Community Foundation administers similar funds in other school districts including Hermon-DeKalb, Morristown, St. Lawrence Central and Potsdam.
