One of two dogs barks when owner leaves houseby Dr. Lisa Radosta
Question: I want to know how to stop a dog from barking when you leave the house. We have two dogs and only one does this. We are going away for the two months and will be staying in a condo and I am sure they won't want to listen to this. Also we have one dogs who is always licking his paws and would appreciate any help on this. Thank you – Sally
Answer: There are a limited number of reasons why a dog would bark when you are not home. They include frustration because of lack of stimulation, normal alarm barking, environmental phobias and separation anxiety.
The fact that your other dog is not barking helps to rule out normal alarm barking. This type of barking is usually socially facilitated and all of the dogs in the family will join in to some extent. If your dog is generally calm and doesn't need a lot of exercise, he is not understimulated so that can be ruled out.
You are left with anxiety or fear related behaviors. Most dogs with these types of behaviors show other types of anxieties for example, they follow you around the house or they bark at noises when you are home too. For anxieties and phobias, you should first visit your veterinarian who can give your pet a physical examination to rule out any medical causes.
Your veterinarian may choose to treat the case herself or she may refer you to a Board-Certifed Veterinary Behaviorist (www.dacvb.org
Paw-licking is almost always dermatologic or gastrointestinal in origin although pain-related and behavioral disorders can play a part in some cases. Please visit your veterinarian and speak to her about inhaled, contact and food allergies.

And how ironic would that be?
Pierce on our team IMO gets us to the 2nd round. Is it worth what we may have to give up? Adelman wants a star VET on our team, not more potential. I see this being more logical than Gordon or someone to that effect. Especially just from what Rick has said in interviews. Could we trade for Pierce and see KG come back and end his career at the Garnett Center? How potent would a lineup of -
Rubio, Ridnour, Pierce, Love, Randolph be? With D-Thrill/Beasley(who gets traded?) coming off the bench.
Better question, would anyone even want to see Rubio, Barea, Pierce, Love, KG out on the court? For even a year?
I feel split.

The Corner at CCS
There's a fine line between being a sneaker fan and a full-blown obsessive sneaker fan. Strangely enough, N-SB.org's creator and editor in chief Jeremy Wilder falls in the former category. Although he knows way more than the average bear about Nike and Nike SB product, Wilder doesn't categorize himself as a sneakerhead as much as he does a creator of a special place in internet land where fans and sneaker nuts alike can come together, trade information, tell stories and share photos of the shoes they love. CCS caught up with Wilder this week to get the full story from his humble beginings to his standings today as one of footwear's top bloggers. Here's what he had to say.
How did you first become interested in sneaker culture? How long have you been involved? What got you hooked?
My stroke of luck came in convincing my mom to buy a pair of Reebok Pumps for the first day of middle school. I got somewhat hooked after the Pumps were torn apart with ollie holes. I got an appreciation of wearing something unique that I'll always associate with that time and place.A lot of it also was initiated from my days working at a surf and skate store on the oceanfront in Virginia Beach.
Are you an avid collector like most sneakerheads? How big is your collection? How do you determine which shoes to save and which ones to let go?
I'm not an avid collector at all although I did become absorbed in it for a minute. It was fun, but sneaker collecting is way different now. I think I have probably 14 pairs of sneakers. Most of my recent pickups come from the Nike outlet. You vote with your wallet, you know? Especially a skate shoe that's designed for shredding. The one's that were "rare" I let go simply because I wasn't going to wear them and the ones I did I would always get so worried about messing them up that it just turned into a hassle. I constantly trip over my own feet, so they would be much better in the hands of someone else.
Dunk Low Pro by Nike SB
Let's talk a bit about NSB.org. What is it? How did you start it? Who looks at it? What makes NSB different than other footwear blogs?
NSB basically stemmed from an idea and an obsession I had with XBOX and Star Wars Episode 3. There were two really awesome forums that I checked on the regs—x-scene.com and millenniumfalcon.com. Long story short, I think I tried to join Niketalk and it was locked down for joining and the Nike SB hype was crazy at the time. So I just took the XBOX forum structure and applied it to what I felt was a void in the scene. Later on I made an eBay auction for one million dollars to broadcast the original Nikeskateboarding.org domain and the rest kind of flowed from there. Lawsuits from Nike legal hit near peak of the site's popularity and we ended up ditching the old domain. So what you see today on the site is something I feel proud to be a part of and it's also been a great tool of education for me. We've built a marketplace that spans from resellers all the way to local business. They'll be more on that soon. It's a fairly unique commerce platform that's worked out pretty well so far.
Why Nike? What makes Nike so important in the world of footwear? In what ways do you feel NIke and Nike SB have changed sneaker culture over the years?
I ask myself that same question often—how much better can a shoe be? Skate shoes from the 90's are so different than what we have today. There was so much padding on them before and now you have a sole and virtually no padding. Nike's quest for innovation is probably the one thing that can be identified with their success and their deep marketing pockets. The site's roots stem from being a fan of their skate division. I think ultimately Nike SB has upped the stakes where brands have to make better quality products and innovation.
P.Rod 5 Lr by Nike SB
What's an average day in the life of a top footwear blogger look like?
I wish I could take that honor. [laughs] NSB has been fortunate as of late to have some really great contributors flesh it out and make it fun to read. As for my daily run around, it consists of checking the site for any major issues and writing code—test, rinse and repeat.
Are there any particular shoes you like the best? What are some of your all time favorite footwear brands, models, exclusives, etc?
I bought a pair of P.Rod 5's recently and they're awesome and the P.Rod 7 looks interesting as well. My favorite design is the Puma Clyde. I also picked up a pair of Converse Sea Star S last year and they fit amazing and break in very well. Some of the upcoming stuff from New Balance Numeric looks cool too. Ultimately the go to shoe for me is the Dunk Low and I'm currently on the hunt for some Boca Jrs.
P.Rod 7 by Nike SB
What about skateboard shoes? Have you seen the skateboard world taking cues from some of the more mainstream footwear brands in terms of their approach to building and delivery quality stories around product?
To a degree I think the footwear from the early to mid 2000s was in a weird state where form and functionality weren't exactly there. When I worked at the skate counter I saw the D3 from Osiris was fairly popular then—at least on the east coast. I'm not sure what they're doing currently, but I remember times when I would be in a mall a few years down the road and see inspiration from the stuff Nike SB did showing up in other products. As far as stories go, nothing really has had the impact or honeymoon phase like the Nike collabs—at least in the skate footwear world.

Finding that connection
Posted September 30 2006
Q. How can I feel more connected to what created me? -- L.M., Boca Raton
A. We can explore our connection to creation with words, thoughts and ideas, yet any attempt to use words to restore our connection to source is inadequate.
To truly connect, we have to surrender the illusion that we are separate from our source.
There is an invisible force that impels everything into the universe. It's everywhere. This source is kind, loving, peaceful and nonjudgmental. It includes everyone and everything. All that exists comes from this force.
In the Old Testament it says, "In the beginning God created heaven and earth, and that everything God created was good." So good and God are what it means to be connected to our source.
When we are in harmony with source, we can feel the power of creation, knowing we are an integral part of the whole.
What most of us do is disconnect from our source. We align our thinking with acquiring, achieving, mastering, overcoming, succeeding, exploiting. We separate ourselves from our life essence.
"Separation is not a sin; it's just a mistake," says author Wayne Dyer. "It's an illusion; it's a belief that we're something that we're not."
Self-realization means we've moved beyond separation and consciously connected with our source of being. Contemplative prayer and meditation can help you achieve this goal.
Words will not deliver you. As Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said, "Feeling is deep and still; and the word that floats on the surface is as the tossing buoy that betrays where the anchor is hidden."

Sharon Tigers
Coach: Jason Rankin (5th season overall, 2nd season at Sharon, 71-30 overall, 12-11 at Sharon)
2012-13 overall record: 12-11
2012-13 region record: 10-6 (tied for fourth)
2012-13 playoff results: Lost to Girard 47-43 in the District 10 Class AAA quarterfinals.
Top players lost: Khalil Hopson, Darrell Stovall, D'Amond Crawford, Mike Porterfield, Jeronte Robinson
Top returning players: Mark Henry, Carnell Hawkins
Assistant coaches: John Koscinski, Terry Shernisky, Louis Brown, Jeff Newell
Outlook: Sharon put together a solid season under new head coach Jason Rankin last winter. The Tigers made the playoffs before running into a tough team in Girard despite dealing with the stress of a player in the program passing away. This season, Sharon is looking to take the experience it gained last year and make a run at the Region 5 title and another spot in the postseason. The Tigers will have to replace several talented players, including Khalil Hopson, Darrell Stovall, D'Amond Crawford, Mike Porterfield and Jeronte Robinson. Hopson was a 1,000-point scorer and averaged 19.8 points per game, while Stovall, a two-year starter, scored 11.5 ppg. Both Hopson and Stovall were voted to the all-region team last year. Sharon returns two starters in Mark Henry and Carnell Hawkins. Henry averaged 9 ppg as a junior, while Hawkins scored 3.3 ppg. The two will look to be leaders this season and could be helped by Aubray Jennings, Jason Austin and Jamal Waller. All three could step in and be impact players right away. Sharon learned a lot last winter in a new system and it paid off with a spot in the playoffs. The Tigers will need a leader to step up and replace Hopson and they need some help from the lower levels. If Sharon continues to grow in a brutal region, the Tigers will be in the mix for a playoff spot and the region title as well.

Top player lost: Janayia Chester
Top returning players: Tanayja Sanders, Mallory Torr
Assistant coaches: Kara Joseph, James Dotson, Dom Joseph
Outlook: Sharon nearly came up with one of the biggest playoff wins of last season by taking District 10 Class AA champion North East to the limit. The Tigers became a better team throughout the season under new head coach Maria Joseph, and they are looking to keep that momentum going this winter. Sharon will have to replace Janayia Chester, who graduated, but the Tigers have plenty of experience back this season. Tanayja Sanders averaged 15.8 points per game to be voted to the all-region first team, while Mallory Torr scored 12.4 ppg and was a second-team selection. The two are leaders for Sharon, while Kristina Jacoway, Maggie Torr, Lexis Dabney, Kelsie McGranahan, Kayla Reardon and DeLisa Smith all started at some point last season. Dabney scored 7.7 points per game and Jacoway averaged 6.7 ppg. With an experienced group back, the Tigers have plenty of depth to work with. Sharon could also receive contributions from the lower levels with Amarh Reed, Tamia Hopson and Mikaela Coryea. The Tigers are looking to play consistent basketball this season and step up on defense. Sharon is one of the top teams coming back in Region 2 and could make another run at the playoffs and beyond.

Animetrics software may have been used to help ID bombing suspects
Published DateBy Tom Eastman
CONWAY — The president of a local high-tech facial recognition software company was recently interviewed by Fox News about its possible role in helping law enforcement agencies in the days following the Boston Marathon bombings of April 15.
Killed by police in a shootout April 18 was suspected bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26. His brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was wounded in that shootout and escaped. He was captured hiding in a boat in a back yard in Watertown, Mass., the following evening after a citywide lockdown April 19. He was arrested and hospitalized, and was charged Monday with detonating a weapon of mass destruction, a charge that could carry the death penalty.
The suspects were identified as ethnic Chechen brothers who had lived in Dagestan, which neighbors Chechnya in southern Russia. They had been in the U.S. for about a decade and were believed to be living in Cambridge, Mass.
3-D technology
In an interview with The Conway Daily Sun this week, Animetrics president and CEO Paul Schuepp said he was interviewed by Fox News' Greta Van Susterin on her "On the Record" program Wednesday evening and he was featured again Thursday demonstrating the company's ForensicaGPS software's capabilities for three-dimensional facial recognition and its possible use by law enforcement officials investigating the Boston Marathon bombings.
"I was called Tuesday for an interview in Biometric Update, and they asked me questions about how our software might be used. Fox News saw that, and they called me, saying that Greta would like to interview me," said Schuepp.
He drove down to Boston Wednesday, and was interviewed under a canopy tent at a corner of Boston Common near the crime scene on Boylston Street.
"[The correspondent and producer] were there, and I was to be on at 10:30 p.m., as Greta's show airs from 10 to 11 p.m. Greta, who was in Washington, D.C., was to ask me some questions over a four- to five-minute span, but then at the same exact time, she got the call about the explosion at the fertilizer plant in Texas, so she had to cut me short. She asked me two questions and published it on her video site," said Schuepp.
The correspondent was interested in learning more, however, so he and fellow crew members came Thursday to Schuepp's friend's condo in Charlestown where Schuepp was staying.
"They spent an hour with me," said Schuepp, "and pulled together an almost four-minute segment which aired Thursday night. During the segment, I demonstrated the software on my PC and was able to explain how facial recognition analysis was being used by the FBI to try and identify the faces shown in photographs from the crime scene."
FBI has software
Schuepp told The Sun although he doesn't know for certain if the company's software was used in implicating the brothers, he knows that the FBI does have Animetrics' software.
The FBI uses Animetrics' software at its forensic laboratory in Quantico, Va. In addition, Schuepp said, the company donated facial recognition software last week after the bombings to the FBI's National Crime Information Center in Clarksburg, W. Va.
"They have a facial identification unit there," said Schuepp. "They are in the process of getting licensed software from us, but due to logistics, they had not gotten them yet. We talked with them and allowed them to download it for use for free. I am not sure they used it, but I do know they downloaded it and got it running."
The company's software is able to take a two-dimensional photograph of a subject and convert it to a three-dimensional model.
From the three-dimensional model, a close match can be made.
Tsarnaev 3-D model
Schuepp explained how Animetrics worked on the image of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
"Attached," said Schuepp in an e-mail to The Sun Tuesday, "is a screen shot of our product ForensicaGPS. We used the comparator mode with two images of Dzhokhar. The top image is the cropped frontal face that came from one of the surveillance camera video frames and you can see when blown up how grainy and low resolution the image is. The lower one is what we call the ground truth, the image from his [Division of Motor Vehicles] mug shot with good resolution. The right screen is the output from ForensicaGPS which made a 3D model or avatar of both faces and then we enabled a capability called the split view port, where we can slide the line across the face at any angle while we can rotate the head at any angle and we can visually compare how the components of the two faces line up or not. This is the type of analysis that is done by facial forensic analysts to make a determination."
Asked two years ago whether his company had helped U.S. Navy SEAL forces to capture and identify al-Queda leader Osama bin Laden in May 2011, Schuepp also demurred, saying only that, like the FBI, "U.S. intelligence agencies have Animetrics software."
"They know of it," said Schuepp, "and they are using every means possible."
He deplored the horrors of the Boston Marathon bombings, but said that the recent media attention about his company can possibly lead to better safety across the nation and world.
"People are getting a little more public awareness that facial recognition can help," said Schuepp. "We cannot have cameras invade our privacy, but in public places it can help people be safe. In New York City, there are cameras everywhere, on light posts and telephone poles, at Times Square, in front of movie theaters. Those images are funneled in real time to the crime center, and they are catching crimes as they occur. So," he concluded, "the difficulty is in determining: Where is the border between privacy and protection?"

When New Orleans travels to Tampa Bay for Sunday's game, you've likely read as much about the Saints as you possibly can.
But what about the Buccaneers?
That's where A View From the Other Side comes in. Every Friday during the Saints' season, WWL-TV.com will ask five questions to at least one beat writer covering the Saints' opponent that week.
This week, we welcome in Jenna Laine and Anwar Richardson, who were kind enough to help us out.
Laine has covered the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for four seasons, including three for NFL.com, Sports Fan Live, and Yahoo's ThePostGame. She also covered the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV. She hosts a Tampa Bay sports talk radio show called "The Sports Mob" on 1010 CBS. She tweets @JennaLaineBucs
Richardson covers the Bucs for the Tampa Bay Tribune. He tweets Bucs news from @TBO_Buccaneers.
WWLTV.com: Tampa Bay was shockingly blown out by San Francisco this past Sunday. What have you seen from this team that leads you believe they'll be able to handle recovering from that loss?
Jenna Laine: "I spoke to linebacker Quincy Black about this during preseason, right after Tampa Bay got beaten pretty badly by New England. He told me he thought this team's strength, especially with being so young, is its resilience. I think when you've got a bunch of guys who are 22 and 23 years old and they experience a big loss, they tend to bounce back quicker and respond better to coaching than some of the veteran players.
It's almost like they don't know any better, so they just focus on their corrections and play. And when you look at the 10-6 team from last year – they only lost back-to-back games once. But I do think that in this situation, with the injuries they're dealing with this week to key players Gerald McCoy, LeGarrette Blount, Mason Foster, Luke Stocker and losing Cody Grimm for the season – it's going to be very difficult to bounce back, especially against a team like New Orleans that racked up 30-plus points at Raymond James the last two years.
The team did get some good news with the reinstatement of free safety Tanard Jackson this week. And from what I'm hearing, he may actually get the start.
Anwar Richardson: "Honestly, I'm not convinced Tampa Bay can rebound from that loss against New Orleans. The Bucs will be without running back LeGarrette Blount and defensive tackle Gerald McCoy. Rookie middle linebacker Mason Foster is battling an ankle injury. Add in that New Orleans is 2-0 in its last two games at Raymond James Stadium, winning by a combined margin of 69-13, I think Tampa Bay struggles once again."
WWLTV.com: Josh Freeman said he's more comfortable with the offense this season. Where has he improved from his first two seasons?
Laine: "To be perfectly honest, I think Josh Freeman's regressed a bit this year. In his first five games he's matched his interception count from all of last season (6) and he's thrown twice as many picks as he has touchdowns (3). I don't like to harp too much on stats, but they illustrate some of the mistakes he's making and the fact that he and his receivers aren't always on the same page. It's causing him to force things.
Guys like Mike Williams and Arrelious Benn aren't getting the separation they need downfield so Freeman is holding on to the ball longer, and it upsets the timing of everything. In his defense, I really don't think he's had a real 'go-to guy' this year, with the exception of second-year receiver Preston Parker, who has been a pleasant surprise.
The one thing I will say is that Freeman has shown this year that he's not afraid to take risks, throw deep into coverage. I think that's what makes Drew Brees so much fun to watch – the way he threads a needle, it just takes your breath away. But, it's important not to get careless with the football.
Richardson: "If you look at the numbers, Freeman has regressed this year. Freeman has thrown six interceptions and three touchdowns this season. Freeman threw 25 touchdowns and had only six interceptions last year. He is forcing passes and Freeman's receivers aren't getting open."
WWLTV.com: If LeGarrette Blount can't go, can Earnest Graham more than make up for what Tampa Bay will lose without Blount?
Laine: "I don't think you can replace LeGarrette Blount in terms of physicality or production. Even though they're two different types of backs, I think he gives the Bucs the same type of electricity as Darren Sproles gives to the Saints.
Last year, so much attention centered around 'number five,' but really, this year, it's Blount who makes this offense work and allows them to utilize what they're best at – play action. Plus, he wears down a defense, which is why you see a lot of his breakout runs, like that 35-yarder against the Colts, later on in games. He's so tough to bring down once he gets in open space. That's when you start to see those hurdles he's known for.
Graham, who's 31, doesn't have that. His role is more of what you saw from Cadillac Williams last year. His greatest asset is picking up blitzes, blocking, using his hands when needed, just being that "extra guy." He'll take a shovel pass to the outside for a 5-yard pickup to keep the chains moving, but he's not the focal point of the offense the way Blount is. He's not going to gash a team for 127 yards.
Richardson: "Not really. Graham is a GREAT man. He's an awesome human being. He's just not a person who can carry the ball 20-or-more times a game. Graham will split carries with RB Kregg Lumpkin, but the Bucs will struggle without Blount.
WWLTV.com: What happened with the Bucs defense against the 49ers and where do you expect them to improve this weekend?
Laine: "So much of what we saw on tape from last week, defensively, was the result of guys shooting the wrong gaps, missing their assignments, thinking they saw something that wasn't, and of course the 49ers completely dictating the tempo from start to finish. And by now, everybody knows Tampa Bay's a fourth-quarter team, so the 49ers got an early lead and never let up.
With that said, I think they've got to do a better job up front, defensively after failing to get a single sack last week. And this D-line is an area the team invested its first and second round picks for two consecutive years while they took a rookie MIKE backer this year. So I expect them to get to Brees more, but the team's linebackers have to do a better job against the run.
Richardson: "Tampa Bay's defense didn't show up against San Francisco and I'm not sure how much better it will do against New Orleans. Tampa Bay's total defense is ranked 23rd and the Bucs are tied for 20th in points allowed (25.0 ppg). New Orleans averages 31.4 points per game, so the math is simple.
WWLTV.com: Gerald McCoy is likely going to be out this week against the Saints. Who fills in for him and if it's Da'quan Bowers, is he ready to fill in on a full-time basis?
Laine: "With Gerald McCoy's ankle injury, while he hasn't been officially ruled out yet, it's pretty much assumed he's a no-go for New Orleans on Sunday. So Frank Okam, an absolute mammoth at 6ft 5, 350 will get the start. If you remember, he was the one who recovered the fumble by Julius Jones last year in the season-finale.
So Okam will rotate in and out with rookie defensive end Da'Quan Bowers, who will step in on third-down. At 6-foot-4, 277 pounds, Bowers is a bit undersized for a defensive interior lineman, but he did play three-technique at Clemson. In fact, that's what he was originally when he was recruited to play there.
Richardson: "I hate to sound like Debbie Downer, but Da'Quan Bowers has never played defensive tackle in the NFL. Brees also has a knack of keeping defenders on the field by moving the offense constantly. New Orleans should have its way on Sunday. "

How do proton pump inhibitors work?Your stomach produces acid to help break down food so it is easier to digest. In certain circumstances, this acid can irritate the lining of your stomach and duodenum (the upper part of your small intestine), causing indigestion and even ulcers.
The proton pump inhibitors work by completely blocking the production of stomach acid. They do this by inhibiting (shutting down) a system in the stomach known as the proton pump.
What is a proton pump?The proton pump is a molecule in certain cells of the stomach. It "pumps" acid into the stomach. It takes a non-acidic potassium ion out of the stomach and replaces it with an acidic hydrogen ion. This hydrogen ion is what makes things acidic. By putting more hydrogen ions into your stomach, the pump makes the contents of your stomach more acidic. But by stopping the action of the pump, acid secretion into the stomach is stopped.
What are PPIs used for?Proton pump inhibitors are used in the treatment of GERD, stomach and duodenal ulcers, erosive esophagitis, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Doctors may prescribe using PPIs alone, or in combination with antacids. PPIs may also be used in combination with certain antibiotics (e.g. amoxycillin and clarithromycin) when treating Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection (a bacterial infection of the stomach), which is thought to be one of the main causes of recurring stomach ulcers.
Are there differences among PPIs?PPIs are similar in how they work, and there is no evidence that one is more effective than another. However, they differ in how they are broken down by the liver and how they interact with other medications. Also, the effects of some PPIs may last longer than others, and may be taken less frequently.
What are the different types of PPIs?PPIs include:
- Aciphex (raberprazole)
- Dexilant (dexlansoprazole)
- Nexium (esomeprazole)
- Prevacid (lansoprazole)
- Prilosec (omeprazole)
- Protonix (pantoprazole)
How are PPIs different from H2 Blockers?Both PPIs and H2 Blockers suppress gastric acid secretion. They are different, however, in how they do this. While PPIs shut down the proton pumps in the stomach, H2 Blockers work by blocking the histamine receptors in acid producing cells in the stomach.
PPIs have a delayed onset of action, while H2 blockers begin working within an hour. PPIs work for a longer period of time; most up to 24 hours and the effects may last up to three days. H2 Blockers, however, usually only work up to 12 hours.
For more information about the individual Proton Pump Inhibitor medications, please check out the resources below.
Aciphex is prescribed to treat peptic and esophageal ulcers, GERD, and erosive esophagitis.
Dexilant is is prescribed to treat GERD and erosive esophagitis.
Nexium is prescribed to treat peptic ulcers, GERD, erosive esophagitis, and Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.
Prevacid is prescribed to treat and prevent peptic ulcers, erosive esophagitis GERD, and Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.
Prilosec is prescribed to treat peptic ulcers, GERD, and erosive esophagitis.
Protonix is prescribed to treat damage to the erosive esophagitis and Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.

Altus, Okla._Burglars hit two Altus businesses in the early morning hours on Friday, and now police need your help to find the suspects.
The first incident happened around 3:30 a.m. at the Altus Motorsports on east Broadway. The thieves busted out a front window to get in, but no word on what items were taken.
Over an hour later, at 4:51 a.m. a witness reported seeing suspicious people in front of Action Pawn on south Main Street. The glass in the front of that building was also broken. Several electronic items were taken.
Surveillance video from that business shows the two robbers getting out of a dark colored pickup truck before throwing bricks through the window. They left the scene heading west on Pecan Street.
If you have any information on these burglaries call Altus crimestoppers at 580-482-TIPS. You could be eligible for a cash reward.

Austin, TX -- It's been a crazy week for the NFL, following a controversial call at the end of Monday's Packers-Seahawks game.
Wayne Elliot is the referee who called a touchdown for Seattle's final hail Mary play, allowing them to win the game. Unfortunately, not everyone sees the catch the way it was called after an official review.
"The right call was made as far as the simultaneous catch is concerned," said Wayne Elliot, NFL replacement referee.
"There may have been an offensive pass interference involved. But a simultaneous catch is a simultaneous catch," Elliot said.
The Seahawks beat the Packers 14-12. Elliot said he sees no need to apologize to Green Bay fans about the call.
"It's a football game. If that call had been the other way, you'd be asking me if I needed to apologize to the fans of Seattle. So, I don't think so," Elliot said

Taking Control
Helping Children Follow Their Medical Treatment Program:
Guidelines for Parents of Children with Rheumatic Diseases
Adapted and published with permission from Michael A. Rapoff, PhD of the University of Kansas Medical Center, author of "Helping Children Follow their Medical Treatment Program: Guidelines for Parents of Children with Rheumatic Diseases"
Ignoring Minor Negative Reactions
Children, like adults, complain when they have to do things they don't particularly like to do. Complaints (such as whining or crying) when asked to do something can be very "trying" over a period of time. They have a way of wearing anyone down. However, complaints which are at least followed closely by cooperation can be effectively ignored and will diminish over time. For example, if your child starts to complain when asked to do her exercises, you can be sympathetic ("I know you don't like to do the exercises, but they are helping you.") but insist that your child follow up on what's to be done. If she continues to complain, ignore these complaints as long as your child continues to do what is asked of her. Don't fall into the trap of debating and arguing with your child.
Most parents have had the experience of asking their child to do something and the child cries or complains but ends up doing it while continuing to complain. If parents are firm but don't lose their temper, most children will do what they are asked to (with some complaints sandwiched in) and the incident is over. However, if you get into a lengthy debate with your child, this can grow into a full blown conflict with everyone upset. Many parents have had the experience of debating with a three-foot high child and wondered at some point during the debate how they ever got into the silly situation to begin with.
Ignoring minor complaints is most effective when combined with positive feedback for cooperating. Even though your child continues to complain, but does it less often or not as loudly, this is improvement and should be rewarded. With older children, you can also inform them that you don't want to argue and walk away. You may be followed for a time but keep busy and give your child the chance to do what you asked her to do.

UCLA released a statement Wednesday explaining that athletic scholarships are not based on finances and do not rely on taxpayers' money. The University of California school system is currently facing financial problems. "Unlike need-based scholarships, athletic scholarships are awarded to students strictly on the basis of their athletic and academic ability -- not their financial need," the statement read. "Athletic scholarships, such as those awarded to football or basketball players, do not rely on state funds. Instead, these scholarships are entirely funded through UCLA Athletics ticket sales, corporate partnerships, media contracts and private donations from supporters. "Each year, UCLA awards the equivalent of approximately 285 full athletic scholarships to outstanding student athletes. The scholarships are used by the UCLA Department of Intercollegiate Athletics to pay students' tuition and fees, as well as room and board. In this respect, UCLA is no different from the overwhelming majority of Division I institutions."
As Damien W noted this a "staff wide" award given the efforts of number of ace recruiters brought in by Mora. Still it is pretty impressive. Mandel is one of the few writers in the national scene who has a good beat on UCLA football. For good reasons he savaged Chianti Dan's hiring process. So it is good to see him recognize Mora's efforts. Mandel did make reference to UCLA being "10 above the 85 scholarship limit." The number is actually around 8 given we took 26 players yesterday, not 28. The numbers will also work out based on natural attrition issues and likely greyshirts in the roster. We will see how that plays out. GO BRUINS.
SB Nation's Bud Elliot and his team did a great job of threading together recruiting stories from all over the country. He put together a chart showing, all four rankings services (247Sports, ESPN, Rivals and Scout), and a composite of the four. UCLA finished number 15. Alabama was number 1. Stanford with its unreal finish closed at number 7. Southern Cal was at number 11. Oregon and Washington were the other Pac-12 programs finishing at number 17 and 21. GO BRUINS.
UCLA coach Adrian Klemm earned Pac-12 Recruiter of the Year honors, as well as a nomination for National BCS Recruiter of the Year
looks like we lost another recruit... + side = makes another scholarship available - side = need to find another cool name commit
Hearing all kinds of rumors about Texas QB Case McCoy possibly transferring, even to UCLA. Mack was certain McCoy was staying put. #ut— kbohls (@kbohls) January 7, 2012
Austin American-Statesman sports columnist Kirk Bohls is "all kinds of rumors about Texas QB Case McCoy possibly transferring, even to UCLA." Let's all keep an eye on this. McCoy could be terrific addition in terms of building QB depth in our roster. GO BRUINS.
According to current recruit Ishmael Adams, former Tampa Bay WR coach Eric Yarber has been hired as the WR coach at UCLA. While this is just a tweet from a player, we've been hearing about this for a while now. Awesome hire. GO BRUINS!
This guy @JDior_ is really recruiting like no other this weekend.— Trigga (@BryceTreggs) December 29, 2011
Bryce Treggs, the #1 WR in California and a Cal commit who is rumored to be considering UCLA now with Adrian Klemm leading his recruitment, tweeted this today: "This guy @JDior_ is really recruiting like no other this weekend." @JDior_ is Justin Combs, a Bruin commit who is clearly trying to bolster that UCLA recruiting class. Keep it going, Justin.
Sound young man.

Amazon smartphone event: Fire Phone announced, includes head tracking and object scanning (updated liveblog) June 18, 2014 at 3:10 pm
That's it, folks. The Fire Phone looks neat, but a lot of that technology seems like a gimmick. Until I get to use the device myself, I'll remain skeptical. Still, the pricing model and standard 32GB of storage puts even more pressure on Apple to up the specs on the next iPhone. If Amazon delivers on its promises on July 25th, the smartphone industry is going to get a lot more interesting.
Google's modular smartphone, Project Ara, could go on sale next year for $50 March 3, 2014 at 10:52 am
Google's modular smartphone, Project Ara, could arrive in early 2015 and cost just $50. For $50 you'd only get a bare-bones Project Ara endoskeleton, of course — you don't even get a display, I think– but it's still a very exciting prospect, especially when you factor in the imminent release date. Early 2015 is a lot sooner than any of us were expecting. The utopian concept of having a single phone that you continuously upgrade over a few years, rather than wastefully replace in its entirety, could soon be a reality.
Nokia unveils Lumia 1520 phablet and Lumia 2520 Windows 8 tablet October 22, 2013 at 12:12 pm
At Nokia World in Abu Dhabi, Nokia has unveiled the Lumia 1520 phablet and Lumia 2520 tablet. Nokia also announced major Windows Phone ecosystem wins, such as the imminent release of Instagram, Vine, Flipboard, and Xbox Video for Windows Phone 8. The Lumia 1520 is a hilariously oversized 6-inch Windows Phone 8 phablet, and the Lumia 2520, which runs Windows RT 8.1 and has built-in LTE support, marks Nokia's grand (and very colorful) entrance into the tablet market.
Are smartphones getting larger because they have to? August 13, 2013 at 11:13 am
One of the most striking trends in smartphone designs is the push towards ever-larger screen sizes. Not only has average screen size increased steadily since 2008, the so-called "phablet" market is poised to explode. Nearly 26 million crossover devices shipped in 2012, with an estimated 60 million shipping in 2013 and 146 million by the end of next year. That's a huge growth rate for a market at a time when both tablet and smartphones are growing more slowly than in past quarters. But what's really surprising about phablets is that manufacturers continue pouring money into the category even as the devices grow increasingly unwieldy for many of the basic functions of a smartphone. We've dug into the trends behind this push
Sony's Xperia Z Ultra is a powerful phone that's too large for your hand June 25, 2013 at 12:12 pm
Mobile phones started off their life as rather large devices, but the industry worked hard to miniaturize them, and after years and years of progress, managed to produce tiny, powerful phones. Now, as smartphones take over the mobile device industry, their screens become larger, increasing the size of the devices once again. At the moment, this trend culminates in Sony's newly announced Xperia Z Ultra, an enormous 6.4-inch smartphone.
Is Apple preparing to release an iPhone phablet? June 13, 2013 at 1:33 pm
Samsung seems dead-set on constantly increasing the size of smartphone displays, but will Apple respond?
Samsung unveils enormous 5.8-inch and 6.3-inch Galaxy Mega smartphones April 11, 2013 at 1:05 pm
If you pay attention to the mobile device market, it's difficult to ignore the trend that smartphones are growing in size, while tables are shrinking. A common size of smartphone, five inches, is dangerously close to a common size of tablet, seven inches. Now, Samsung is crossing that 2-inch line with the announcement of the Galaxy Mega, a smartphone that comes in the choice of a 5.8-inch model, or a 6.3-inch model.
Phablets are just a fad April 4, 2013 at 11:19 am
The consumer electronics market has been taking cues from Lewis Carroll these past couple of years. Tablets are getting smaller, but smartphones are ballooning. However, new data is showing that phablets — the bizarre hybrid of tablets and phones — aren't being used as much as their larger and smaller counterparts. Despite some rather loud cheerleading from the Android camp, phablets aren't much more than a niche at this point.

As DayZ moves into its third month of being available to eager bug testers in the Steam Early Access section, creator Dean "Rocket" Hall has revealed the newest patch making its way to the experimental server build, one that will be adding a number of new additions and fixes to the zombie survival game.
One of the biggest changes coming in this patch is the introduction of player queueing and anti-combat logging, essentially punishing those who disconnect during combat. The new queue will add a penalty waiting time to those who switch a server or disconnect within a short period of time, making you wait a currently unknown amount of time before re-connecting.
This new change is one that has already got fans celebrating as the game has been plagued with people disconnecting since launching, which causes a number of frustration namely the loss of hard earned ammo. Players disconnecting will also be kept in-game for 30 seconds, making it possible to die from either other players or zombies.
A number of other new additions are also coming in this patch, which is currently available on the experimental servers to test. These include the new machete melee weapon, the SKS rifle and its speedloader, a new "Improvised Courier Backpack" and a whole page's worth of bug fixes and engine changes. All of these can be read over at the official forums, with DayZ creator Dean "Rocket" Hall expecting the consumer version of the patch to be available sometime around February 5th-7th.

News: Lil Kim Spreads It Wide Open, "Say It Out Your Mouth" [Audio]
Wednesday, Feb 15, 2012 12:50PM
Brooklyn rapper Lil Kim is keeping the Internet in a state of bliss by releasing a new Valentine's Day-themed record entitled "If You Love Me".
The new record dropped late Valentine's Day and showcases the Queen Bee's utilizing auto-tune.
"If you loved me, you would let the world know it / say it out your mouth, but I would rather your heart show it / Actions speak louder than words / This was God's work, but you couldn't see / God blessed you when he sent you to me." - Lil Kim. Joining in on the barrage of material that we met with yesterday on Valentine's day, The Queen Bee alias Lil Kim dropped off a brand new track entitled "If You Love Me". The auto tune heavy cut is apparently an answer back to Maino's "I Still Love You" track that was released last year. (Soul Culture UK)
Kim also hopped on Twitter to boast about the record and thank fans for their support.
"Hey Guys!!! I just wanted to give a special gift from me to you!!! This is 4 always supporting me & showing LOVE... http://fb.me/XyeXN2sm," she tweeted February 14th.
"Every1 follow 1 of my producers & of If U Love Me. The hottest up coming producer @princesaheb. Thank u for the heat! Happy Valentine's Day!" (Lil Kim's Twitter)
She is also expected to premiere some new music tonight (February 15).
Lil' Kim has a busy week ahead. The Queen Bee is scheduled to premiere a new record and appear on live television. The Brooklyn diva will be a guest on Bravo's talk show "Watch What Happens Live" this Wednesday at 11 p.m. She will sit down with host Andy Cohen and preview part of a new song during the live program. The full track will go on sale later in the week. Kim, pictured above at a party she hosted in Florida over the weekend, announced plans to release an EP for her fans late last year, but it has yet to materialize. (Rap-Up)
A few weeks ago, Kim was spotted showing support for Floyd Mayweather, Jr. following a court hearing.
A judge agreed Friday to postpone a jail sentence against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a Las Vegas domestic violence case, allowing the undefeated boxer to make a Cinco de Mayo fight against an as-yet unnamed opponent. The ruling by Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa to allow Mayweather to begin his 90-day stint on June 1 came with the fighter's manger and supporters, including rap star Lil' Kim and R&B artist Ray J, in the courtroom as a defence lawyer cited the economic boost that Las Vegas could get from the bout.

3.5/5 rDev +7.7%
Tasted on-tap 10/06/05 at the OD brewpub in Ashburn, VA.
Light amber color with a low off-white head and decent carbonation. Light spicy malt aroma and flavor with hints of nutiness and roastiness and not too sweet. Light-medium bodied with a spicy finish.
A decent but ultimately skipable Irish Red.

3/5 rDev -7.7%
Imagine the Dominion Ale, except a red. This was just a typical red ale with no distinguishing features. So it wasn't bad, but I found it slightly boring. It had a fairly typical appearance and smell. The taste was alright, but didn't do anything different or better than any other red. Mouthfeel and drinkability were fine.

Students boarded a bus after another day full of activities but no school.
"The strike, I'm not against it but I prefer the kids to be in school. They're missing out on a lot but my son, he loves By The Hands, he loves to come here every day," said Louise White, a mother of a Chicago Public Schools student participating in NBA player Dwayne Wade's By The Hand Club for Kids in Cabrini Green.
Since the strike started, the afterschool program has extended its hours to 9:00am to 6:00pm, as parents anxiously await an agreement between the Chicago Teachers Union and CPS.
While 400 students have been attending By the Hands, others have been filling churches, CPS' Children First sites and some just stayed home.
"Something should be done. It was bad for one week because I'm stuck with her everyday," said Edward Lougrini, a father of Chicago Public Schools student, 6 year old Sophia.
The Lincoln Park Elementary School first grader is just one of more than a quarter million elementary and high school students stuck in limbo while CPS and CTU leaders negotiate.
"I don't know why they waited until the last minute to start bargaining. That should have been done a long time ago and kids should be in school," said Lougrini.
For Lincoln Park High School senior Sheeraz Khan the question is how this week's events will affect his future.
When asked about college, transcripts and test scores, Kahn responded, "Yeah, those are going to be delayed so I'm not happy about that."
Kahn went on to say he's been trying to contact his teachers, but has not heard back since the strike has started. He says the strike is effecting many seniors as they prepare for college.

What's up, Maniacs.
Not too long ago, I wanted to get some feedback on the movie scenes that made you shit your pants or otherwise effed with your head (in an awesome way) and I must say, the responses were pretty magnificent.
So let's switch gears and go for round two.
This time I'd like to hear about the movie scenes that made you laugh out loud. I mean really laughing not texting your buddy with OMG! LOL! Doesn't have to be an ongoing belly laugh or fetal position kinda deal, but should be louder than a snicker or a giggle.
As always, I'll go first.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles is one of my all-time favorite flicks. It's funny, but also has a ton of heart. One sequence in particular had me laughing out loud and still does to this day, when Neal and Del and cruising down the highway in the middle of the night.
Oh, he's drunk. How would he know where we're going?
Gets me every time.
Alright Maniacs, let's hear what you've got.

DETROIT ľ Daniel Cleary admits scoring his first goal of the season Thursday night felt pretty good.
ôA whole lot of us felt good about it and realized the importance of it,ö Cleary said after practice at Joe Louis Arena Friday afternoon. ôThatĺs how weĺre going to be a successful team by getting some balanced scoring. It was good to get off the schneid, if thatĺs what they call it.ö
Cleary had no points through the first nine games of the season.
ôI think experience helps a lot with that when you go through a stretch like that you have to be able to have confidence in your ability and believe in yourself,ö said Cleary, whose last goal came on March 19 last season. ôBut you donĺt want to over-work either, which sometimes happens. You just keep skating as hard as you can, and your timing is off. You miss all of the pucks that are around, so you have to be patient and work hard when itĺs time to work hard. Eventually it will pay off for you.ö
Heading into Thursdayĺs game the bottom six forwards had combined for one point, an assist on the power play by Patrick Eaves while he was on the ice with Henrik Zetterberg.
ôIt takes some pressure off the other guys and we have to do it more often,ö Cleary said. ôThatĺs why weĺve been successful. Weĺve had the scoring from different people, different lines and thatĺs important.ö
In the 5-1 win over St. Louis, Cory Emmerton had a goal and an assist, Drew Miller had two assists, while Justin Abdelkader, Jordin Tootoo and Tomas Tatar each had one assist.
ôWe had real good effort from our bottom six,ö Babcock said ôThey all played well and really contributed. They played hard. Itĺs a good thing for us.ö
Back between the pipes
After not starting for the first time all season, Jimmy Howard will be back in goal Saturday afternoon against the Edmonton Oilers.
ôIt was good because I was able to work with Jimmy (Bedard),ö Howard said. ôWith this condensed schedule and the practice times not being as long, it was good just to be able to get out there and work with him again and to refresh.
ôYou can always brush up on something,ö Howard continued. ôYou always want to go back to your fundamentals, staying at the top of the crease and letting the puck hit you.ö
Howard was impressed with rookie Petr Mrazek, who made 26 saves.
ôHe was calm out there,ö Howard said. ôHe made the stops he needed to. I thought we did a great job in front of him. We allowed him to get into the game and feel the puck. It was just a great game to watch him play.ö
Family Guy
Mrazek isnĺt a fan of the TV show ĹFamily Guyĺ, but that didnĺt stop him from having a likeness of Peter Griffin painted on his mask.
ôWell, I heard itĺs a pretty good show,ö Mrazek said. ôIĺve seen a couple commercials, but I donĺt watch it,ö Mrazek said. ôI liked the idea because my name is Petr and the Griffins are our team.ö
Mrazek said Griffins equipment manager Brad Thompson came up with the idea.
ôI know what it is, but Iĺve never watched it,ö Mrazek said. ôIĺve seen a couple of commercials about it, but Iĺm a big fan of other shows than Peter Griffin.ö
Mrazek likes ĹHomelandĺ, ĹEntourageĺ, Ĺ24ĺ and ĹPrison Breakĺ.
Ins and outs
Todd Bertuzzi didnĺt practice Friday and will miss Saturday and probably Sunday with a bad back. He was scheduled to have an MRI Friday.
ôItĺs been nagging at him a little bit,ö Wings general manager Ken Holland said.
The Wings recalled Joakim Andersson from Grand Rapids. Holland didnĺt know if he will play of Patrick Eaves, who hasnĺt played the last four games, will get back in the lineup.
ôWe donĺt want to wake up (Saturday) or Sunday and need a body, with Grand Rapids playing in Oklahoma City,ö Holland said. ôWe have different ideas for the lineup, weĺll decide in the morning.ö
Andersson, who has 10 goals and 17 assists in 36 games with the Griffins, has no points in five games with Detroit last season.
Goalie Joey MacDonald (back) practiced on his own Friday. Holland said he thinks heĺs going to get cleared sometime next week and then theyĺll decide from there what theyĺll do.

Gov. Pat Quinn has signed legislation that would help Chicago reduce a multibillion-dollar pension shortfall, but could lead to a property tax increase.
Quinn is a Chicago Democrat facing re-election this fall. He had given little hint of his plans ahead of Monday's announcement, aside from saying that he opposes raising property taxes.
Chicago has the worst-funded pension systems of any major U.S. city.
Fifty-two percent of City Hall's work force would be affected by the new pension reform law. Leaders of their 30 separate unions reluctantly cut a deal with Mayor Rahm Emanuel that would reduce some future pension raises, but avert a looming catastrophe.
"Within less than a decade, 61,000 people were going to be without a pension check. We're securing that," said Emanuel.
The new law demands an extra $750 million from taxpayers in the next five years, though only $50 million in the first year. The governor last Friday signed a new law allowing Chicago to raise that much money just from a higher cell phone tax. That would allow Quinn and Emanuel to avoid a Chicago property tax increase until after each runs for re-election.
However, experts warned huge tax increases could be coming and not least because of the desperate condition of the city's police and fire pension funds, which neither one is affected by today's new reform law.
"The State of Illinois says under current law that the City has to contribute $600 million more this year in 2015 to the Police and Fire Pension funds. The city -- Mayor Emanuel and his financial team -- doesn't have $600 million. That would require a 75% increase in the property tax levy, just for those two pension funds," said President of the Civic Federation Laurence Msall.
Experts warned one of those funds, covering Firefighters, could be completely broke in 5 to 10 years.
Critics at the Illinois Policy Institute said local and state governments should move to phase out pensions altogether for future employees, offering instead a 401-K style retirement benefit combined with a smaller guaranteed pension.
"What it does is it cuts Chicago's unfunded pension liability in half immediately. And that gives the city all kinds of room to manage its problems and to avoid tax hikes," said Ted Dabrowski, Vice President of Policy at the Illinois Policy Institute.
Leaders of the General Assembly indicate that after this November's election, they'll try to reform the separate and nearly broke pension funds of Police and Firefighters. As for over at the Board of Education, they'll try to reform the pension fund for Chicago teachers.
The following statement is from the 'We Are One Chicago' union coalition in response to Gov. Quinn's signing of Senate Bill 1922:
"Mayor Rahm Emanuel's pension-slashing plan, now signed by the Governor, is wrong for Chicago. This is no victory for the Mayor, but a huge, missed opportunity to find a truly fair, constitutional solution.
"Senate Bill 1922 would slash the value of pensions by one-third within twenty years of retirement. It inordinately hurts women, people of color, and low-income workers and retirees, disrupting and harming our city's communities.
"Our coalition has presented numerous alternatives that would rebalance our tax code and ask those who can most afford it -- the wealthiest among us -- to pay their fair share. Unfortunately, some elected officials have chosen to ignore the constitution and these fairer revenue alternatives, opting instead to slash the retirement life savings of our city's public health professionals, teachers' aides, librarians, cafeteria workers, and other public employees and retirees.
"The Mayor's plan is unfair and unconstitutional, and our unions intend to seek justice and will be preparing to file suit."
Coalition members opposing SB 1922 include the Chicago Teachers Union, AFSCME Council 31, the Illinois Nurses Association, the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7, Chicago Firefighters Union Local 2, and the Chicago Sergeants and Chicago Lieutenants Associations/Police Benevolent and Protective Association Unit 156.

New laws start July 1 on Florida roads dealing with big rigs, buses, and cell phones. Commercial drivers caught using their handheld cell phones while driving can now be pulled over and ticketed on the spot.
"Florida law is being upgraded to mirror the federal statutes and the commercial federal regulations that are already in place," explained Florida Highway Patrol Spokesperson Sgt. Steve Gaskins.
Truck driver Paul York, of Lake City, wore a headset Friday as he filled up at a Pasco County truck stop. He said he catches glimpses of fellow truckers texting and talking behind the wheel every day.
"It's a national epidemic, shall we say, of lack of attention," said York. "My average weight is between 70 and 80,000 pounds. If I'm not paying attention, I don't see you stop in front of me, I'm going to roll right over the top of you."
The fines for violators are steep. Truck drivers and bus drivers can get $500 tickets on their first offense. Their companies can also be fined $2,750 if they fail to make their drivers comply.
The new regulations also put greater limits on the number of hours truck drivers can clock behind the wheel each week. They can drive 70 hours in a seven-day period. The previous limit was 82 hours.
"Safety is the number one priority here," explained Sgt. Gaskins. "We want them to be alert, awake, and paying attention."
A texting ban for regular motorists takes effect in Florida in October. Under that law, texting will be a secondary offense. Drivers can be ticketed only if they're pulled over for something else first, like speeding.

Scorpion Control Products Trapper Insect Monitor and Insect Trap with Pheromone Tablet
Trapper Insect Monitor and Insect Trap w/ tablet – Box of 20
The Trapper Insect Monitor and Insect Trap shows you exactly which crawling insects are causing your bug problems. This is a safe, affordable way to alert you of any potential pest problem. The easy to use glue trap attracts not only roaches, but also spiders, scorpions and other crawling insects. It is an effective way to catch the insects, and also monitor the density and exact location of the infestation at the same time. You can use the cardboard trap whole, or tear it along the perforated lines to divide it into smaller traps. The Insect Monitor's adhesive backing will let you stick it to walls or other surfaces.
In addition to the insect trap alone, you can also use the pheromone based tablets to attract cockroaches and other bugs to the glue pad. The pheromone tablets lure the bugs to the trap with an appealing scent. These traps are a great way to start any pest control regimen, and you can also use them while waiting for other products to kick in.
