A Lackawanna woman today admitted stealing more than $58,000 from Forster's Pharmacy in Blasdell.
Shirley R. Mecozzi, 66, worked as a bookkeeper at the business and unlawfully wrote checks to take the money.
"I just would write checks and cash them in the hopes that when I got paid I would pay it back," Mecozzi told Erie County Judge Michael D'Amico.
Mecozzi pleaded guilty to third-degree grand larceny and faces a sentence of anywhere from probation to seven years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
Mecozzi, who had no prior criminal record, cited "extenuating family circumstances" when asked why she stole the money.
She stole $58,238 from the pharmacy. The pharmacy recouped $10,000 from its insurance carrier and also got a check from Mecozzi for $5,000. She also signed over her final paychecks.
In all, the pharmacy has recovered $16,371 - or slightly more than one-quarter of the stolen amount, according to John C. Doscher, head of the Erie County District Attorney's Special Investigations Bureau, who prosecutes embezzlers and others accused of financial crimes.
D'Amico did not make Mecozzi any promises about a sentence but indicated a restitution order for the full amount would likely be part of the sentence.
She was released on her own recognizance. Her sentencing was scheduled for May 21.

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) - At age 59, Alvaro Rojas is just a few months from retirement and worried sick that his entire employment history will be erased by the dreaded Year 2000 computer bug. So he's seeking a written record.
"With all this fuss about the change of year, it's better to have everything on paper," Rojas says as he waits in line at a Social Security office, only to be told the document he needs can't possibly be ready until after the New Year.
Rojas has good reason to worry. The Social Security Institute, with the labor history for 4.5 million Colombians, still has not solved its Y2K problem.
The database software on which all pre-retirement records are kept is not compliant. The manufacturer says it's pirated.
Social Security officials refuse to buy the upgrade and are working feverishly to migrate all the data over to a different program - with no guarantee of success.
There are serious questions whether many other crucial government records systems - particularly in finance and health care - will be ready in time for the millennium bug. Contingency plans are already in full swing.
Clocks are being turned ahead on airport radars, mounds of public records are being printed out, some medical devices will be placed out of commission temporarily and many government workers will be getting their January paychecks in December.
Like many Latin American nations hit hard by last year's economic recession, Colombia has had to scramble for resources to confront Y2K, the legacy of computers programmed to express years with just two digits, so that 2000 could be read as 1900 in systems, causing crashes or garbling data.
Government Y2K coordinators say the public and private sectors have spent a total of $1.4 billion on bug fixes - nearly 2 percent of gross domestic product - and that utilities, transportation and the financial sector are in good shape.
The central bank, however, will have 57 percent more cash on hand to bolster liquidity.
In terms of readiness, there are doubts about everything from traffic lights in mid-sized and small cities to the nation's air traffic control.
"The country is about 70 percent ready," says Hernando Carvalho, a congressman and Y2K expert who says Colombia was very late in launching its repair work.
The pension system is a case in point.
The Latin America vice president for Unify, the California software company whose program has been used by the Social Security agency for nine years to track Colombian labor history, says the agency has refused to pay for the upgrade and license it needs to protect it from Y2K.
Instead, Karen Joslyn said, it is using pirated software. "Basically, they stole the program," she said.
Social Security's Y2K coordinator, Leonardo Chavarro, says its Colombian supplier is to blame for the alleged pirating and that Unify is demanding an exorbitant price for the upgrade. So another company is writing a new program to which all the data will be transferred by mid-December, he says.
Computer consultants say such last-minute data migration doesn't leave enough time for identifying and removing errors. Besides, large software projects, as a rule, are never done on time.
In health care, the already overburdened public hospital system is seriously lagging and officials say many billing systems and some life-sustaining devices will not be ready on time.
"One possible scenario is that someone will arrive at a hospital with their health ID card and will be rejected because no one will be able to confirm they've paid their bills," Carvalho said.
In the eastern regional capital of Bucaramanga, only in mid-November did work begin on public hospital computers. In other regions, funds have not yet even arrived to start repairs.
Authorities say some medical devices in public hospitals nationwide - including respirators, X-ray and ultrasound machines - won't be Y2K compliant on time and will be removed from service for the first days of 2000.
Civil aviation is also a serious concern, as 80 percent of north-south flights in South America pass over this rugged Andean nation.
Contingency plans call for switching flight monitoring to manual control if necessary.
As if the technological and financial challenges of Y2K readiness weren't difficult enough, Colombia is also plagued by a decades-old civil conflict in which leftist rebels regularly blow up oil pipelines and electrical towers.

Commonly some form of time-series or spectral analysis is used for extracting periodic signatures from a set of data pertaining to climate variations.  However, spectral analysis is, like statistical analysis, a black art rather than a fully respectable branch of mathematics or science.  What comes out depends very much on how the analysis is applied.
In trying to extract weather and climate periodicities from data extending back many centuries, researchers have made claims for such a wide variety of periods that the results should be viewed with great skepticism.  Few of the analyses agree with each other.  Some find the expected solar and lunar cycles; others do noteven using the same kinds of data.
In extracting periodic signatures from climate data, three important factors must be observed:
Temporal inhomogeneity has always plagued long runs of climate data.  The data run is seldom long enough to extract the really interesting long periods.  Temporal events such as the Little Ice Age and other slow variations may disturb the shorter periods, or even establish a new state with totally different cyclic behavior.  The circulation and weather systems may have changed qualitatively with the end of the Little Ice Age; so the short-term variationssuch as the ENSOmay be substantially different from what they were several hundred years ago.
Temporal inhomogeneity may distort historical climate data because the instruments and methods change over time.
Spatial inhomogeneity can be a serious problem whenever two sets of data from widely separated stations are mixed.  Sometimesas in the analysis of tree ring datainvestigators may combine data from a broad area in order to get a satisfactorily "clean" signal.  However, the weather patterns and climate cycles may be substantially different in, say, coastal areas, mountain areas, and continental interiors.  Results which are claimed to apply to a broad area, containing many kinds of topography and environment, are always suspect.
Methods for analysing temporal data have not been standardized, and investigators are often drawn to the newest, most "trendy" methods.  Keep in mind that spectral analysis methods were developed for extracting weak signals from very long runs of data.  They work very well when they are called on to extact the blips of a pulsar or a clandestine radio transmitter from days to months of radio transmissions; they don't work so well when the blip only occurs two or three times in the entire set of data.  Often a set of climate data does not span a long enough time to confidently extract any but the single strongest signal.  The results may suggest other signals, but they may be totally spurious.
As an example, consider several sets of tree ring data, which have been
widely published and referenced [from the work of Fritz and Shao].
The figure below shows inferred precipitation (in light blue) and
temperature (gray) for the Northern Great Plains.  At the top are
bars, denoting the historical
droughts since 1800, and inferred droughts for earlier times.
Three of the historical droughts were especially long-lived and
severe.  The drought from 1840 to 1864 resulted in displacement and
hardship for native peoples.  Several explorers came to the
Northern Plains, including Isaac Stevens and John Palliser, and saw
evidence of extreme aridity.  The years 1860 and 1861 were among
the driest ever recorded there.  The dustbowl years of the 1920's and
1930's lasted almost as long, and included some extremely dry years.
The most recent drought, which began about 1996, is almost as severe;
it could last as long as the others.  Over the past several centuries
great historical droughts in the interior of North America have occurred at
intervals of 75 years.
The data here are obviously very "ragged." The old Blackman and Tuckey
(BT) method, based on simple Fourier deconstruction of the signal, is
instructive, because it shows the need for very long series of
data.  The BT method involves a fourier transform of the
autocorrelation function, shown below for the data sets, plus a data
set for the Southwest Deserts.
The plotted curves show little order at short lag times.  Only at lag times greater than 200 years do the autocorrelations begin to show regular variations that might yield a genuine spectral feature.  But the value of the analysis is called into question because the total data run is only slightly more than 200 years.  The data here have been folded to overcome the limitations of the data sets.  So the regular oscillations beyond 200 years may simply be an artifact of the method of analysis.  Such data folding may be implicit in spectral analysis methods, and is a potential source of aliasing at long periods.  Researchers should always examine the autocorrelation function to see whether they indeed have a long enough data sample that real periodicities begin to show up.
The cross correlations of the three data sets show that there is a high
degree of synchronism at short periods and very long periods.  At
lag times between 120 and 250 years the correlations are poor.
Finally, a fourier analysis of the Northern Plains autocorrelation
yields a power spectrum, with peaks whose sharpness is dependent on the
lag windows used.  The spectra are unnormalized, so the relative
heights of peaks are not important.
For comparison, see the following spectrum, derived by one of the more
"modern" methods, the Auto Regressive (AR) method (which is similar to
Maximum Entropy methods).  The mathematical method here is quite
different, so the peaks show a dramatically different shape.  In
the AR method, choosing a large number of poles is equivalent to
choosing a long lag window.  The secondary peaks appear sharper,
but they are not necessarily more real. Presumably one could "refine"
the analysis to produce ever sharper peaks, but there is a great risk
of fooling ourselves.
Many papers have been published on drought and other climate cycles
showing a series of sharp peaks at the frequencies determined by the
mathematical analysis.  But the peaks shown above have a finite
width.  The mathematics of Fourier analysis says that the power
spectral frequency peaks cannot be narrower than
The lesson:
Beware of published analysis which show spectral peaks represented by narrow lines!
The data sets shown above are clearly not long enough to reveal a 75
year period; but the first pronounced peak is at half that period: 37
years (with an uncertainty of about 7 years).  Lesser peaks appear
at about 18 years.  Though the autogression analysis suggests very
sharp secondary peaks at the shorter periodsapproximately 18 and 10
years; they are probably not meaningful.
A useful test of the results of spectral analysis is to overlay the data with a periodic "comb," represented above by alternating green and brown bands.  (This is equivalent to the old "periodogram" method.)  Here some of the peaks and valleys (for the Northern Plains) agree moderately well with the comb.  With such a short run of data, the results of analysis can be trusted only if they can be demonstrated by such a simple "eyeball" procedure.
A physical cause for 18 and 37 year periods may be related to the lunar tidal cycle of 18.6 years.  There is no evidence here of an 11-year sunspot cycle.  See a discussion of droughts on the Great Plains.
The possibility of a 37 year resonance with the lunar tidal cycle is
intriguing; confirmation would require a homogeneous data set running
over many hundreds of years.  The tree ring data are probably not
sufficiently homogeneous.  There is an excellent theoretical reason
why such the lunar tidal resonance should be strongest at the double
period of 37 years: in 37 years the tidal cycle repeats
at the same time of the year (much like the 18 year Saros cycle of
eclipses).  A plausible physical mechanism has not yet been found,
though 35 to 40 year weather and precipitation cycles have been frequently
noted, and several meteorologists have suggested that the lunar tidal cycle
modifies ocean currents in the northern ocean basins.

New Braunfels Fire, EMS, and Police were dispatched to a possible structure fire yesterday evening on Pheasant Lane. As fire crews returned to service, Battalion Chief Darren Brinkkoeter tells KGNB the good news about the call...
Comal County is recognizing October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and two recent cases investigated by the New Braunfels Police Department, may give us a look into why a month-long recognition is needed.
Marzena Marroquin of New Braunfels was recently awarded Howard Payne University New Braunfels Center's, J. Mart Findlater Scholarship. The scholarship is the first to be presented by HPU in New Braunfels, and provides $2,700 per semester.
The New Braunfels ISD Board of Trustees recently voted to begin the formation of a new Facilities Planning Committee (FPC) to develop a facilities plan for both current and future district facilities.
The deadline for Parade Entry Forms and Release Statements for the Marion High School 2016 Homecoming Parade are due Monday October 10th.
Join the Hunger Hero team at WCC's mobile food pantry. Help distribute food to families near you and make a difference in your community! Every 1st and 3rd Friday October-December Volunteer Check-in: 11:45am; Distribution:1-2:30pm.
New Braunfels will be celebrating the Arts throughout October, with "Fall Into Art;" with an event for every day of the month.
Three Canyon High students – seniors Kelsey Kistner, Katherine Everett and sophomore Raistlynn Cobb – competed at the Junior Classical League National Competition over the summer on the Indiana University campus.
With autumn rapidly approaching, the time is now for Comal County residents to protect themselves against the flu; vaccines are now available at the county's Public Health Office.
Three New Braunfels family members leaving the Comal County Fair Sunday night were struck by a truck, sending two victims to the hospital with possible life threatening injuries.
At the 2nd Annual Comal County Cowboy Breakfast, local business owners will donate food and time to serve free breakfast; with donations benefitting the Comal County Fair Scholarship Fund and the Sally M Kingsbury Sarcoma Research Foundation.
The fifth annual Texas Fruit Conference is coming to New Braunfels, bringing together commercial and recreational fruit growers from across the state to discuss the challenges and successes of Texas fruit growing.
With meeting rooms names like the Comal, Tejas, and Stammtisch, the newly remodeled building that will officially become "the new City Hall" on Monday, has several nods to the city it will serve.
National Voter Registration Day is next Tuesday, and to help celebrate, the Comal County Elections Office and the League of Women Voters are working together to make sure eligible county residents are registered to vote in the November election.

Secondly I want to strongly emphasize that all our post graduate education shall be patient centred. This means that the ECU does not support:
- the use of simple explanatory models that ignore the complexity of the human body and disease
- the use of pre-fabricated and pre-paid long term treatment plans
- the use of instruments where the measured result have no clinical significanc
- the creation of an expectation of healing, or wellness, for the patient beyond what is known as a reasonably predictable outcome
- systematic follow-up visits without individual evaluation based upon the patient condition
- the systematic use of the reimbursement-system to the advantage of the chiropractor.
Thirdly, the European Academy of Chiropractic does not provide CPD points for seminars about practice-building. All the national associations of the ECU have signed the Code of Good Practice which I would encourage everyone to read. It sets out the standards expected of chiropractors in their dealings with patients, colleagues and authorities.

Asian markets rebounded after a three-day sell-off as renewed fears over eurozone debt were soothed with the European Central Bank (ECB) indicating it could step in if needed.
However, ongoing jitters over the strength of the global economy kept a lid on sentiment on Thursday while geopolitical concerns weighed amid North Korean plans for a rocket launch.
Tokyo added 0.70 per cent, or 66.05 points, to 9,524.79 and Sydney added 0.81 per cent, or 34.4 points, to 4,280.5.
Hong Kong was 0.93 per cent higher, adding 186.65 points to close at 20,327.32 while Shanghai gained 1.82 per cent, or 41.94 points, to 2,350.86.
Seoul fell 0.39 per cent, or 7.78 points, to 1,986.63.
The gains bring an end to recent selling pressure sparked by weak US jobs data last week, another set of poor Chinese economic figures and fresh anxiety that Spain could be engulfed in a Greece-style debt crisis.
A slump in Asia on Wednesday followed Wall Street and Europe after bond yields for Madrid shot to highs not seen since December on fears recent austerity measures could send it deeper into recession.
But investors took heart from ECB board member Benoit Coeure, who suggested that markets were overestimating the extent of Spain's problems and did not rule out additional purchases of sovereign debt by the central bank.
Spain's benchmark 10-year bond yields eased to 5.87 per cent from 5.94 per cent.
Stocks in New York and Europe also bounced back on Wednesday.
London's FTSE 100 index added 0.70 per cent, Frankfurt's DAX 30 rose 1.03 per cent and the Paris CAC 40 gained 0.62 per cent, while the Madrid Ibex 35 was 1.93 per cent higher.
On Wall Street the Dow closed up 0.70 per cent, the S&P 500 gained 0.74 per cent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq climbed 0.84 per cent.
But Mitul Kotecha, strategist at Credit Agricole, warned that renewed debt worries "will not fade quickly while growth concerns have been reignited by last week's weaker than expected US jobs report".
The euro edged back up on the news and bought $US1.3122 in early Tokyo trade, from $US1.3108 late on Wednesday in New York while it also rose to Y106.30 from Y106.00. The dollar was at Y81.01 against Y80.86.
On Wednesday in Asia the euro was buying $US1.3101 and Y105.90 as traders shifted away from the higher risk unit.
Regional markets were also nervous as North Korea prepared to fire a long-range rocket which it says will place a satellite in orbit for peaceful research purposes.
Western critics see the launch as a thinly veiled ballistic missile test, and the United Nations has banned such tests by Pyongyang.
Dealers are on edge as they await the launch, which is due to take place between April 12 and 16 to commemorate the centenary of the birth of North Korea's founding leader Kim Il-Sung.
"Geopolitical risk could ripple through the markets quite a bit. Some are taking a wait-and-see mode," Yoshihiro Okumura, general manager of research at Chibagin Asset Management in Tokyo, told Dow Jones Newswires.
On oil markets New York's main contract, West Texas Intermediate crude for delivery in May was up 41 US cents to $US103.11 per barrel while Brent North Sea crude for May gained 27 US cents to $US120.45 in the afternoon.
Gold was at $US1,657.60 an ounce at 1815 AEST, compared with $US1,654.75 late on Wednesday.
In other markets:
- Taipei ended flat, adding 6.25 points to 7,662.92.
Hon Hai Precision rose 0.44 per cent to $Tw114.0 while Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co was 0.24 per cent higher at $Tw82.6.
- Manila closed 0.58 per cent, or 29.34 points, higher at 5,046.78.
SM Investments gained 0.31 per cent to 646 pesos while Philippine Long Distance Telephone was up 0.07 per cent at 2,622 pesos.
JG Summit Holdings rose 6.29 per cent to 31.25 pesos.
- Wellington rose 0.63 per cent, or 21.70 points, to 3,487.09.
Contact Energy gained 1.1 per cent to $NZ4.83 and Telecom was up 0.6 per cent at $NZ2.51 while Fletcher Building added 2.2 per cent to $NZ6.15.

Never one to pass up on a great marketing opportunity, McDonald's Uruguayan Twitter account made a perfect play on the latest Luis Suarez biting controversy.
With one simple tweet, the hamburger giant offered up a simple and delicious alternative to Giorgio Chiellini's unsuspecting shoulder should the Uruguay striker still fancy a bite.
McDonald's weren't the only restaurant looking to take advantage of Suarez's appetite, as Nando's made their pitch to Suarez, too:
Hey @luis16suarez, if you're that hungry, why not get your teeth stuck into something really tasty? pic.twitter.com/TPrPoC6ljt— Nando's (@NandosUK) June 24, 2014
Snickers jumped on the bandwagon, as well.
Hey @luis16suarez. Next time you're hungry just grab a Snickers. #worldcup #luissuarez #EatASNICKERS pic.twitter.com/3RAO537HjW— SNICKERS® (@SNICKERS) June 24, 2014

George D. Horst came to America from Germany as a young man, made his fortune in the hosiery business in Reading, and then turned his attention to art.
In 1911, Horst acquired his first painting. More followed. He bought American impressionists, such as Daniel Garber, and Barbizon painters, such as Corot, many from the annual exhibitions at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Horst became heavily involved in establishing the Reading Public Museum. By 1913, he was the museum's main donor, providing paintings and cash that helped the fledgling institution take its place in the cultural life of the city.

The Geography Division (GEO) of the US Census Bureau adopted the Oracle Spatial on Exadata solution for its geospatial database, the Master Address File (MAF)/Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing System (TIGER). GEO successfully migrated (including multiple terabytes of geospatial data) from their legacy systems to their new Exadata based development, test and production environments. This presentation highlights the planning and execution phases of the migration project, and delves into the benefits of the Exadata solution realized so far. Details about the exploration of Oracle Exadata and its benefits to GEO and beyond (exploratory phase) will also be presented, along with the details of Oracle Ex-cite process and the collaboration between GEO and Oracle (including the Oracle Spatial team) that led to a successful testing, procurement, installation, implementation and migration.
Atri Kalluri is the Assistant Division Chief, Geography Division, US Census Bureau, for Spatial Data Systems and Database Management. He is responsible for the development and implementation of IT solutions for the management of Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) System, which is one of the largest geospatial databases in the world. He has been with Census for about 15 years, and was intricately involved in the MAF/TIGER (MT) Redesign project as part of the MT Enhancement Program (MTEP). He was instrumental in the development of a Business Rules Engine, and successfully implemented complex algorithms such as feature chaining in the core application programming interface for TIGER. He played a key role in the migration of over 3,200 counties worth of spatial data from legacy to modernized TIGER that is built on Oracle Spatial and Topology Data Model. He also managed the 2010 Decennial production operations as Chief of Workflow Control Branch of the Geography Division.

This is my third pair of 706 shoes by New Balance.
These are the most comfortable shoes when on your feet for 12 hours per day - highly recommend!!!
New Balance was started by William J. Riley in Boston, Massachusetts in 1906. Making shoes with arch supports to help people feel better was William's main purpose. Born from innovation, New Balance began the quest to relieve laborers' foot pain and help people that stay on their feet all day. The standards of superior quality footwear and the craftspeople who create those shoes became a work commitment.
Comfort meets performance in 1934 when William joined Arthur Hall with his business. The first running shoe delivered superior comfort without sacrificing the performance competitive runners demanded. Their shoes were so good it came with a money-back guarantee. Arch supports for policemen and other people who worked on their feet all day was Arther's sales pitch. Custom baseball shoes for the Boston Braves were made in 1941. Daughter and son-in-law, Eleanor and Paul Kidd bought New Balance in 1954.
Still making arch supports and prescription shoes, things changed in 1961 when the Trackster was designed by New Balance. The world's first high performance running shoes - the Trackster was made in different widths. Jim Davis purchased NB from Eleanor and Paul in 1972, however, he did not change the concept instead he kept things the same. The Entrepreneur's purchase of New Balance marked a great date in history, coinciding with the 1972 Boston Marathon.
The american icon continued to improve comfort and performance with the latest technologies. During 1992, while other companies were moving production offshore, the 990 remained proudly to bear its MADE IN THE USA tag. The MX650 cross-training shoe was designed in 1995 for athletes directly going from one sport to the next. The New Balance 840 was introduced in 1997 as a technical walking shoes.
In 2001 New Balance acquired PF Flyer. and then in 2004 acquired Warrior. NB ZIP patented responsive cushioning system technology with shock-absorbing struts in 2006. A new leader, President & CEO Rob DeMartini joined New Balance Team in 2007. In 2008, NB opened Sports Research Lab. The shoe features of being lighter, more cushion and flexible were introduced in 2009 and elevated its predecessor's legacy of comfort, dependability and style. NB develops REVlite in 2010, a new midsole foam compound with more durability and nearly one-third less weight. New Balance continues to design superior quality footwear of comfort and durability in the footwear world.

With three kids ages nine to three, Kristen Keffer's head is on a swivel.
Keeping track of them on dry land is challenge enough- when they're in the water, it's a full-time job.
"We do try to make sure we have the swim vests on and be close and make sure that they are always in arms reach of side of the pool or with an adult in the ocean," says Kristen Keffer.
In the state of Florida, drowning is the number one killer of children under five. As the weather warms up, the action heats up. Michele King is director of child advocacy at Golisano Children's Hospital.
"We actually cover two areas that are really important. One is when the family is gathered and everybody is in the pool or around the water, that they designate a water watcher," says King.
A water watcher is the official eye- tuning out all distractions and focusing on the kids. Everyone should know who is on duty. They may want to make themselves standout by wearing special t-shirt, tag or hat.
It's one thing to be vigilant when everyone is in or around the pool. But a number of drownings happen when no one is around. A child slips away without notice- that's why layers of protection are so important.
"We recommend that you have alarms and locks on the doors that lead to the pool, that lead to the water. We recommend that you have a four-sided fence around the pool with a self-latching, self-closing, gate," says King.
Straightforward suggestions that could be lifesavers. Giving parents a jump on safety, as kids dive into swim season.
"They love it, they love the water. So it is a big concern," says Keffer.

Happy Wednesday! The work week is now officially more than half way over!! Tonight I'm going to share my families favourite soup recipe for Weeknight Wednesday. I can whip up this soup in about 45 minutes and it's so, so yummy. I love making this soup when someone is feeling a little under the weather, or on a chilly Fall day. I bet once you try it, you'll be adding it to your regular recipe list too! Here's the recipe….
1 cup uncooked instant white rice
2 chicken breasts (with bone and skin)
8 cups of water
chicken bouillon – I use about 12 OXO sachets
6 tbsp. flour
1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup carrots, finely diced
1/2 cup celery, finely diced.
Cook white rice according to package directions. Set aside.
Place chicken breasts in a large pot and cover with 8 cups of water. Add in chicken bouillon. Bring pot to a boil, then cook over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through – about 25 minutes. If your water (broth) has evaporated too much at this point, you can add another 2 cups of water at this point. That's what I do!
Remove the chicken from the pot and allow to cool a bit. Discard the skin and bones from the chicken and roughly chop the chicken into bite-size pieces.
Melt 4 tbsp. of butter in a skillet. Stir in 4 tbsp. of flour to make a roux. Continue cooking for a minute or so, until heated. Add the roux to the broth and stir until well combined.
Rinse out your skillet, and then melt the remaining 2 tbsp. of butter. Add the onions, carrots, and celery to the skillet. Cook until slightly tender. Add these veggies to your soup.
Add in your chopped chicken pieces and stir in your cooked rice.
Soup is served!
Recipe modified from The Pioneer Woman

TACKLING ITS CHARGE to recommend a national policy for dealing with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), the Presidential Commission on the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Epidemic's final report contains a section that essentially is urging nothing less than revamping some of the health care system in the United States.
"This is a unique opportunity; to miss this chance to get ourselves restructured nationally would be a tragic mistake," says James D. Watkins, the retired admiral who is the commission's chair. He says many of those who testified before the commission and most of the commission members themselves are receptive to this viewpoint.
In examining the impact of AIDS, Watkins says, "we ran into so many issues—discrimination, nursing shortages, therapeutic drug development, intravenous drug abuse, education— issues that could not be resolved by any short-term solutions. To neglect these would build up long-term health problems that will be much more expensive to

A van that was stolen from the Don Bosco Center on Wednesday has been recovered, but everything inside it is gone.
Police said they found the van that was taken from outside the center while workers were loading food into it. The food was supposed to provide meals for seniors at St. Therese's at 58th Street and Euclid Avenue.
"It was time to go and I was going out the door to the van and it was just gone, it vanished, gone," said driver Sharon Brewster.
Don Bosco and Catholic Charities scrambled to make sure all the seniors got the meal they were counting on. Food deliverers said that for many seniors, this is their only meal of the day.
Police said the van later turned up in the northeast part of Kansas City. They said the van was trashed but still runs.
The center will be able to use the van on Thursday and they'll buy a device to prevent it from being stolen again.
The containers and carts that had been inside the van, many of which had been recently purchased, were gone when the van was found.

CBS puts Adam Carolla way down in 'The Hole'
CBS has ordered a comedy pilot created by and starring Adam Carolla.
According to TV Week, CBS has greenlit the comedy "Ace in the Hole," featuring Carolla as a husband and father who works as a driving instructor.
CBS made sure Carolla will have some free time earlier last week when the company's radio arm ended his nationally syndicated talk show.
"Ace in the Hole" comes from Jimmy Kimmel's Jackhole shingle, Lloyd Braun and Gail Berman's BermanBraun banner and CBS Paramount Network Television.
Carolla wrote "Ace in the Hole" with Kevin Hench. The two also worked together on the fairly well-regarded 2007 film "The Hammer."
Other credits for Carolla include "The Man Show" (with Kimmel), "Crank Yankers" and a run on "Dancing with the Stars."

What is in this article?:
- Weather-specific crop insurance available to farmers.
- Corn, soybeans and wheat products available.
- Rice, cotton products coming.
Company set-up
At heart, Climate Corp is a technology company, says Hamlin. "We have a lot of computer scientists, mathematicians and statisticians running all kinds of information and correlations through our system. Daily, we run 2.5 million locations of weather data, 150 billion soil observations and 10 trillion weather date simulation points. Lots and lots of data come through.
"It's been interesting to take all that complicated data and present it in a format where a grower can come into his crop insurance agent's office, never having heard of weather insurance before, and within 45 minutes to an hour the grower is able to see a product that makes sense; enough sense that 75 percent of the people we showed it to in 2011, bought it. Really that's where we're adding value to the market: taking complex problems and … getting it to a place where a grower is able to say 'based on my experience, what you've shown me makes sense and it's something I need.'"
2011, he says, was both good and bad.
"It was good in that growers got to see how the product worked because there was some extreme weather and they received checks from us. It was bad, obviously, because (the company) had to send out a lot of payments. But that's what insurance companies do – we pay when things go badly.
"Many growers, when first presented with this (product), say 'this sounds too good to be true. I don't have to deal with a crop adjuster? I don't have to document yields? You might pay me even if I have a good year?' It's totally different than what they're used to with the federal crop insurance program.
"So, we had a lot of growers this year who looked at the coverage, bought it – some for all their acres and others who dipped their toe in the water – and then were hit was an extremely wet spring."
That was especially true in Indiana, Ohio and parts of Illinois "where they had the rainiest spring in the last 100 years. At the end of May, after so much moisture, a check arrived in their mailbox. We paid them for a presumed yield loss at the end of the season. Then, it was hot in July and dry in August. So, they got checks in July and August. By the time it was September – the crop still in the field finishing – they'd already received two or three checks from our company."

INITIALLY described by Devic and Bussy in 1912,1 the association of osteomas or exostosis, soft-tissue tumors, and multiple polyposis of the colon was established as a predictable inherited syndrome by Gardner and his associates (1950-1953).2-4 Subsequent reports and reviews, such as the analysis of 84 cases collected by Jones and Cornell in 1966,5 have further defined the major features and natural history of this syndrome.
It has been estimated that 50% of untreated patients who have multiple polyposis of the large intestine will develop adenocarcinoma of that organ by age 30.6 In addition to polyps of the colon and rectum, a small number of patients with Gardner's syndrome have adenomatous polyps of the small intestine.7 The premalignant nature of these lesions and, therefore, the need for their removal is suggested by the finding of adenocarcinoma of the small intestine in an occasional patient with Gardner's

Aging Americans Sleep More, Work Less, Survey Finds
TV Watching Remains No. 1 Hobby, at Two Hours, 46 Minutes a Day
Americans slept more and worked less last year, reflecting an economy that remains groggy after the recession and an older population with more time to rest.
Averaging together both weekdays and weekends, Americans older than 14 slept for eight hours, 44 minutes and conducted work-related activities for three hours, 28 minutes each day, according to the Labor Department's annual American Time Use Survey, released Wednesday. That is 14 minutes less work a day and 10 minutes more sleep than when the survey began a decade earlier, and a bit less work and more sleep than in 2012.
When including only employed Americans, the average time on the job during days worked last year goes up to seven hours, 33 minutes, just a minute less than in 2003.
Americans have tended to sleep a bit more and work a bit less each year in the past decade. But the deep recession from 2007 until 2009 appeared to have accelerated the trends.
According to the survey, Americans' No. 1 hobby remains watching television. In 2013, respondents said they spent an average of two hours, 46 minutes a day watching TV, 11 minutes more than in 2003 but down slightly from the previous year.
"The data defies popular expectations," said John P. Robinson, a sociology professor at the University of Maryland. "People say they're too busy for leisure and don't have time to sleep, but that seems not to be the case."
The numbers are collected from about 11,400 individuals via phone interviews where participants are asked to reconstruct a diary of the previous day. Participants are selected to ensure estimates are nationally representative, the Labor Department said.
It is difficult to grasp precisely why people have shifted how they spend their days. But demographics and economics play a large role.
The U.S. population is aging, with 8,000 people turning 65 each day, according to AARP, the seniors' lobbying group. Many of those individuals are retired or working part time and thus have more time to sleep, watch television, play shuffleboard and other nonwork activities.
The graying population and a still-weak labor market explain why the share of Americans with jobs fell to 58.6% in the 2013 survey from 62.3% a decade earlier. The unemployment rate was 6.7% at the end of last year, above the 5.7% at the end of 2003.
Older workers, especially males in their 50s, have struggled to regain jobs lost during the recession, said Donald Grimes, a University of Michigan labor economist. Meanwhile, younger people with shaky job prospects are spending more time in college and less working, perhaps reflected by Americans' spending an extra minute a day on education, according to the survey.
"Essentially, the share of the population who works zero hours per day is growing faster than the employed," Dr. Grimes said.
The migration of the Internet from the domain of desktop computers to hand-held devices also shows up in the numbers. TV watching, while up from 2003, is down from its peak of almost two hours, 50 minutes a day in 2009, suggesting Americans are turning their sights to other screens.
Most other types of leisure, including reading, socializing in person and taking a second to think, have edged down since 2003. One exception: playing videogames and other "computer use for leisure," which includes posting pictures on Facebook and mindlessly surfing the Web to kill time. On weekend days, men spend 38 minutes on this activity, 13 minutes more than in 2009. (The 2003 data for the category aren't directly comparable.)
Americans spent four minutes less a day shopping than a decade ago, as the Web speeds price comparison and lets consumers skip visits to stores.
"Shopping is so much easier than it was a decade ago," said Tara Sinclair, an economist at George Washington University. "I can remember when I'd browse a record store. Now, Amazon tells me what I like."

The Lobos lost 70-65 to the Jackrabbits on Saturday in The Pit. It was their first loss of the season.
New Mexico has a big test ahead when the Lobos face No. 8 Cincinnati on Thursday at 7 p.m. The game will be televised on ESPN 2.
Cincinnati is one of the few undefeated teams left in the country.
Mountain West conference foes UNLV and San Diego State remained ranked in the top 20 of both polls.

Students Running Their Own School—Is It Anarchy or a Lesson in Justice and Morality?
Do children make the same type of moral judgments as adults?
Yes, though children may draw different conclusions. For instance, when my eldest son was 4, he committed his first moral act and became a vegetarian. He refused meat at meals despite his parents' pleas because he thought it was bad to kill animals. One night I was reading him a story about Eskimo seal hunts, and he remarked, "There is one type of meat I would eat—Eskimo meat—because Eskimos kill animals."
Is that a moral judgment?
Yes, because such decisions are always based on a sense of empathy and just exchange. My son saw animals as being like himself. He believed that if people killed animals, they, in turn, could be killed. His fairness exemplifies the concept of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," which is typical of early moral development.
What are the stages in moral growth?
In the early '30s Jean Piaget, considered the world's greatest living child psychologist, concluded there were two stages. The first is entered at about age 4 whereupon children view what is right as absolute obedience to their parents. At about 7, the second stage begins when self-interest dominates and children judge what is fair by what rewards or favors they get.
Do you differ from Piaget?
No, my work builds from Piaget's. He tracked a child's moral growth till the age of 12, and my work reveals four further stages. In fact, people's moral awareness can continue to change well into their 30s.
How do children's moral judgments change with maturity?
In early adolescence children move toward a stage where moral judgments gain them social approval. Lieutenant Calley's testimony about Mylai, for instance, showed his desire to maintain fellowship with Army personnel. By the end of high school, teenagers may attain a fourth stage of conventional morality: making judgments out of respect for the law—be it their school's, city's or country's. Mr. Nixon's White House transcripts suggest that his judgments ranged from stage two to stage four.
What are the higher levels of moral judgment?
These are less conventional and more individualistic. In college some young people reach a fifth stage, represented, I feel, by President Carter. I consulted with him about prison reform when he became governor of Georgia. Rather than vengeance or saving money, Carter's primary concern was reform that respected the rights of the prisoners as well as those of law-abiding citizens. That's fifth-stage awareness. Then a very few, like Martin Luther King Jr. or Abraham Lincoln, go further.
Can one break the law morally?
Yes. As Martin Luther King Jr. wrote from a Birmingham jail: "One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws...openly, lovingly, and with a willingness to accept the penalty." The question of when to do this—not on a whim but on a reasoned judgment of principle—is very difficult.
Are moral judgments relative?
In every country I've studied, people make the same type of moral decisions and go through the same levels of development, regardless of language or culture.
Have you ever tried to influence young people's morality?
Yes. I had the chance to apply my theories when an alternative public school—the Cluster School—was started in Cambridge, Mass. five years ago. A group of students, teachers and parents consulted with me in its planning so as to test the theory that a community school can encourage more just behavior—which is the keystone to moral development.
How was this accomplished?
By creating a school government run by democracy—one man, one vote, whether the voter is a student or teacher—and through focusing on moral issues in history and literature classes.
Did this create anarchy?
Almost, at the beginning. But by having discussions among small groups of students and teachers precede the actual voting at meetings, students at lower levels of moral growth were forced to reason through decisions under the influence of older students. None of the decisions made by the student majority have been judged to be unfair or impulsive by the teachers.
Did the sharing of decisions among students and teachers impair the teachers' effectiveness as an authority?
In the Cluster School, the teacher is still accepted as the intellectual expert on his subject, though disagreement is frequent when an issue of fairness arises—for instance, with grades.
Do students from poor neighborhoods progress at the same rate as students from Harvard professors' families?
Students from more advantaged families have an initial edge. But within the school both groups seemingly progress at the same rate of moral growth, because Cluster duplicates the factors found in the families of the morally advantaged students—rational discussion of moral disagreements and shared decision-making.
Do children with religious training progress more rapidly?
Our research does not demonstrate that children who attend church or parochial schools attain higher moral levels more quickly. Religious education is important for the nurturing of faith, but it is not crucial to fostering a sense of what is right.
Are strong-willed children more moral?
It depends. If they are relatively advanced in their moral thinking, their willpower leads them to resist temptations such as, say, cheating. If they are less advanced, a strong will seems to promote wrongdoing.
Because at an early stage of moral development, strong-willed children can overcome their fear of punishment and parental disapproval. Some of the greatest evildoers in history, as well as some of the great moral heroes, have had strong wills. It's their reasoning that differentiates them and their actions from each other.
What tangible influence has Cluster School had on its students' lives?
At the start the school was chaotic. It took two months before the majority agreed to make a rule to discipline students for using or selling drugs. But once the rules were democratically enacted, students would follow them for the sake of the community without much threat of punishment.
What about cases of theft?
The students made a ruling against stealing as a result of a number of thefts early on. However, many students still took a casual attitude that expressed a second-stage level—"If someone is stupid enough to leave things unguarded, it's their fault if it gets ripped off." By the second year of the school, a strong sense of community prevailed. During this year $10 was stolen from a student's pocket-book, which she reported at a community meeting. Many students said one couldn't have a community without trust, which showed a higher level of moral development. They voted that each student would contribute 15 cents to help repay the victim her loss. There have been no thefts in Cluster since. However, a number of students continue to steal on the outside, because they don't consider it their community.
Is American morality improving or weakening?
There seems to be a meandering, historical trend for American society to move closer to the long-range principles of justice on which this country was founded. So I'm optimistic. But we are still far from being able to leave our doors open at night in any city.

Traditional performing arts
The Sbek Thom is a Khmer shadow theatre featuring two-metre high, non-articulated puppets made of leather openwork. Dating from before the Angkorian period, the Sbek Thom, along with the royal ballet and mask theatre, is considered sacred. Performances, dedicated to the divinities, could only take place on specific occasions, three or four times a year, such as the Khmer new year, the King's birthday or the veneration of famous people. The shadow theatre was weakened after the fall of Angkor in the last century. However, it has evolved beyond a ceremonial activity to become an artistic form, while retaining its ritualistic dimension.
The puppets are made from a single piece of leather in a special ceremony for each character. Shiva and Vishnu, for example, are cut from the hide of a cow, which died accidentally or naturally and are finished in a single day following a specific ritual. The hides are dyed with a solution made from the bark of the Kandaol. The artisan draws the desired figure on the tanned hide, then cuts it out and paints it before attaching it to two bamboo sticks which enable the dancer to control the puppet.
The performances traditionally take place at night in the open air beside a rice-field or pagoda. A large white backdrop is held between two tall bamboo screens in front of a large fire or, nowadays, projectors. The shadow of the puppet's silhouette is projected onto this white screen. The animator brings the puppet to life with precise and specific dance steps that produce a range of movements. The performance is accompanied by an orchestra and two narrators. Performances from the Reamker, the Khmer version of the Ramayana, might last several nights and require up to 160 puppets for a single session.
