RECLUSE NO MORE
Last years mild winter means an influx of spiders in Lawrence homes

vshanker@kansan.com Lauryn Reinhart was sitting on a couch in her living room on Sept. 30 when she felt a slight touch on her elbow. She didnt see anything on her, but when she glanced at the couch, she saw a spider larger than a quarter with very long legs. Reinhart, a senior from Parkville, Mo., killed the spider with the conventional shoe method, but afterward she noticed a rash started to develop on her elbow, similar to a bee sting. It was grazed and it was red, Reinhart said. It was kind of itchy, but it went away the day after. She had been bitten. From the description of the crawler and the symptoms of the bite, Reinhart most likely encountered a brown recluse spider. And shes not alone, as local pest management companies have seen a boost in brown recluse calls this summer and fall, primarily due to the mild winter. No winter means bugs survived, said Joanie Haley, office manager for Haley Pest Control located at 1035 E. 23rd St. An abundance of bugs means spiders eat. Were really seeing a lot of the brown recluse. If you get bitten, then they can cause serious damage to the skin. While the venom is a brown recluse spiders tool for liquefying prey and eating, the Center of Disease Control and Prevention says it can cause severe lesions in humans, a condition called skin necrosis. On some people, it can be as benign as a bee sting. But for others, it may cause serious scarring and even nausea, vomiting and a fever. Bioengineering graduate student Vidyashankara Iyer was also bitten by a spider while he was working on a project. Suddenly, I see a spider running across my hand, Iyer said. It did bite me, but I dont think I developed anything. Maybe it wasnt a poisonous spider. Iyer, a student from Bangalore, India, has noticed many spiders walking across his apartment this summer. He said hes never seen spiders in his living space in the six years hes been in Lawrence until this year. Theyre never active, but now they are, Iyer said. We try to keep it clean, but we do have a lot of spiders. Probably because we live on the corner and near a forest.

Haley Pest Control technician Vanja Mehmedovic applies a pesticide to small, dark spaces in the basement storage room of Barbara Haverty, a Lawrence resident, on Oct. 5. Mehmedovic discovered five brown recluse spiders. in the room. Vanja Mehmedovic, a pest control technician for Haley Pest Control, said that in addition to the mild winter, a very hot summer is leading to more brown recluse sightings and calls. The hotter it is, the more active they get, Mehmedovic said. People notice because theyre crawling in the open

A brown recluse has a violin or bell-shaped marking on the front of its body. Also, unlike most spiders, it has three sets of two eyes, not one set of eight.

If bitten you could see discoloration of your skin. Not only is a brown recluse bite venomous, its very quick. If a brown recluse lands on you, dont try to swat it with your hand. It will get you before you get it, Mehmedovic said. No matter what you do to shake the spider off, dont use your hands. source: Vanja mehmedovic, Haley pest Control

conditioners, but she said she has learned to deal with it. Im a little upset, Adewale said. I know McCollum is not the greatest, but there are a lot of memories there. I wish they could come up with some other solution that doesnt involve tearing it down. The project would be an amendment to the Universitys fiscal year 2014 Capital Improvements. This fiscal year begins in June 2013. The memo said the estimated cost of the project is $47.8 million, which would be funded with revenue bonds issued by the Kansas Development Finance Authority. Revenue from the housing and parking systems would be used to fund the debt service, and housing would fund future maintenance and operating costs on the two new halls.
McCollum residence hall may be torn down by the University to build a parking lot. Two new residence halls will be built in its place, and there will also be more space for parking. Alicia Croci, a freshman from Ottawa and a McCollum resident, said she thinks the project would be a misuse of funds. Demolishing it is really a waste of money, Croci said. If they want to spend the money, they should renovate it. They could get a new paint job and update the tiles and furniture. To Croci, McCollum has become a home. It is also the first building she sees on the drive back to Law-

I love entering the city limits with friends and pointing to it, saying, See that tall building in the distance? Thats my home. Its a nice feeling. I would be very sad to see McCollum go. edited by Brittney Haynes

military trials. the ministry said the suspects, who have not been named, were in custody. even though the incident does not involve a civilian, the case could cause a backlash from afghans and further erode efforts to provide political stability to afghanistan. the brigade believed to be involved in the incident, 3 commando, was in the thick of the fighting with taliban insurgents during its deployment last year to helmand.

KARACHI, Pakistan Tens of thousands rallied in Pakistans largest city Sunday in support of a 14-year-old girl who was shot and critically wounded by the Taliban for promoting girls education and criticizing the militant group. The demonstration in the southern city of Karachi was by far the largest since Malala Yousufzai and two of her classmates were shot on Oct. 9 while returning home from school in Pakistans northwest. The attack horrified people inside and outside Pakistan and sparked hope among some that it would prompt the government to intensify its fight against the Taliban and their allies. But protests against the shooting have been relatively small until now, usually attracting no more than a few hundred people. That response pales in comparison to the tens of thousands of people who held violent protests in Pakistan last month against a film produced
a vote. Sticking points included the date and the wording of the question. On Friday the two sides said they had reached a deal, which is expected to be approved Monday by Cameron and Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond.

also slated for further solo adventures. Captain America: The Winter Soldier involves the sudden reemergence of Caps embittered exsidekick Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), who became a brainwashed Soviet assassin after seemingly dying in the first movie. I guess hes been cryogenically frozen too, unless Winter Soldier refers to a militant uprising at a nursing home. The towheaded God of Thunder returns in 2014s Thor: The Dark World, directed by Game of Thrones regular Chris Taylor. Unlike the first film, which remained largely earthbound, The Dark World reportedly boasts a cosmic scope, meaning well probably see more of the Nine Realms, only hinted at in Kenneth Branaghs well-cast but underwhelming original. Loki (Tom Hiddleston) will also be back, albeit in a smaller role. This news is disappointing, since Hiddlestons conflicted take on the God of Mischief has been the series most interesting aspect. If all these sequels sound like more of the same, fear not. Marvel is also gambling with two original properties: Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man. James Gunn, the pope of perversity responsible for the bawdy horror comedy Slither, has been tapped to direct Guardians, based on a lesser-known Marvel comic featuring a team of interstel-
lar superheroes, including a guntoting, anthropomorphic critter named Rocket Raccoon. Amazingly, Gunns movie is being geared toward younger audiences. Thanos, the grinning blue-eyed baddie glimpsed halfway through the end credits of The Avengers, is said to figure prominently here. Edgar Wright, the geeky guru behind Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, has been adamant about making Ant-Man for years. Now, following the rapturous reception of test footage screened at this years San Diego Comic-Con, hes finally getting his chance. His movie follows the exploits of Henry Pym, a brilliant scientist who discovers how to drastically alter his size at will. Im sure the porn industry is already busy green-lighting a parody. The success of Phase Two depends on mainstream audiences and their willingness to embrace individual superhero movies after the warm group-hug that was The Avengers. Will viewers feel cheated knowing theyre only seeing part of the team in action? Whedon and Feige are hoping to counteract this by having every new film contain a cameo from S.H.I.E.L.D. head honcho Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and at least one other Avenger. The Marvel universe is constantly expanding. This decision will hopefully allow Whedon to hint at an overarching storyline designed to keep even casual viewers invested until the Avengers reassemble in 2015. As for the faithful, Im sure theyre already marking their calendars. For comic book nerds like me, the next three years have all the makings of a four-color feast. Edited by Nikki Wentling

s a 27-year-old music enthusiast, you could say that Ive been to my fair share of shows throughout my lifetime. Ive been to Lollapalooza where the likes of Incubus and Audioslave were on display, seen 311 more times than I can count and have even ventured to an Andre Nickatina show in Scottsdale, Ariz. As enthralling as each of these shows was to me, it shocks me to my deepest core that I had to wait until Oct. 5, 2012 to experience the best live show of my entire life. Dubstep DJ icon Bassnectar (Lorin Ashton) put on a performance that was worthy of the often-overused term epic. Cold temperatures it dropped to as low as 29 degrees at one point couldnt stop the warm and embracing vibe that Bassnectar provided for the
By Stphane Roque
sroque@kansan.com treated to a visually-enlivening spectacle that warranted the many awesomes spouted out by the crowd as if the word was going out of style. The lasers used maintained the intense vibe going throughout some of the longer tracks, and the addition of the graphics screen made the crowd light up like a Christmas tree. The one phase of Ashtons performance that really gripped me was his ability to engage with the crowd during some of his most
high-octane beats. This you really have to see for yourself. During Bassnectars track Infinite, Ashton slowed the upbeat tempo down at the same time as his screen behind him turned to a slow-moving tunnel of bright orange bricks. Reference the 1997 film Event Horizon, and its meat-grinding tunnel (an orange one) for a better visual. At this time, Ashton began to mock the crowds upper torso movements with a slow wave of his hand up and down to synchronize with the hard-hitting beat. Bobbing and swaying became the norm in the crowd, and Ashton had the feel of a leader controlling the movements of the masses. This only added fuel to the already awesome fire that had been lit by the opening band, Ghostland Observatory.
The appearance of lasers to match song beats were early and often throughout the evening, and Ghostland Observatory, especially with Midnight Voyage, had the crowd amped for what Bassnectar was about to bring. If you havent had a chance to check out a live Bassnectar show, I strongly advise you give it a shot. I didnt have to take psychedelic drugs to enjoy myself, and you wont have to either. Bassnectars on-stage presence and the lasers and smoke and whatever else were used (some sort of confetti during the track Lights) puts even the most soberest of minds in a dreamlike trance.

imes have drastically changed from the time our parents attended college. When our parents were our age, they didnt have lightweight laptops to bring to class to take notes on. They didnt have smartphones or even cell phones to call home or text their friends when they were bored in class. But college students nowadays are much more lucky. We have all those things that make our lives easier day in and day out. And we have Apple to thank for most of that. Apple has been extremely successful and has monopolized the industry ever since the release of the very first iPod. But why is Apple so successful? Well, I came up with some good reasons for why Apple has taken control over the world of electronic devices. Business majors, these tips could be meaningful for you in the future. Why is Apple so successful in selling top-of-the-line electronic devices? Well, for starters, its products are easy to use and easy to handle. Steve Jobs insisted this for all Apple products. Each iPod, iPhone and iPad is made so that even the most technologi-
By Ben Carroll
bcarroll@kansan.com cally unsavvy person can learn how to use it. Even though Apple is always releasing new and improved versions of the iPhone or iPod with more features on it, keeping them easy to use can be a difficult task. But the workers at Apple make sure each updated version is easier to use than the previous. If not, customers would go back to the old and Apple would lose money. Apple doesnt make new products; it makes better recreations of an already existing product. For example, Apple didnt come out with the first smart phone; they recreated it to make it better, and this is when the iPhone came out. Apple didnt make the first tablet; they recreated it to make it better than the ones already for sale. This is when the iPad came out. According to Time. com, Apple owns 70 percent of
the profits for smart phones and 85 percent of the profit for tablets. Apple will only recreate products if it can make them better than the already existing product. Another reason why Apple has had such great success is because it is always ahead of the game and its competitors. Think about it when the very first MP3 player went on sale, Apple was signing off on the iPod, which would have more and better features than the MP3 player had. When the very first MacBook came out, the company was working on ways to make it better for the future with the iPad and Macbook Pro. Staying ahead of your competitors is the key to retail success because your product will always be the best on the market. How many people on campus do you see with smart phones that arent iPhones, or computers that arent Macbooks or even tablets that arent iPads? Probably not many because Apple has taken over the game.

65th anniversary of U.S. test pilot Chuck Yeager successful attempt to become the first man to officially break the sound barrier aboard an airplane. At Baumgartners insistence, some 30 cameras recorded the event Sunday. While it had been pegged as a live broadcast, it was actually under a 20-second delay. Shortly after launch, screens at mission control showed the capsule as it rose above 10,000 feet, high above the New Mexico desert as cheers erupted from organizers. Baumgartner also could be seen on video checking instruments inside the capsule. Baumgartners team included Joe Kittinger, who first attempted to break the sound barrier from 19.5 miles up in 1960, reaching speed of 614 mph. With Kittinger inside mission control Sunday, the two men could be heard going over technical details as the launch began. You are right on the button,
keep it right there, Kittinger told Baumgartner. An hour into the flight, Baumgartner had ascended more than 63,000 feet and had gone through a trial run of the jump sequence that will send him plummeting toward Earth. Ballast was dropped to speed up the ascent. Kittinger told him, Everything is in the green. Doing great. This attempt marked the end of a five-year road for Baumgartner, a record-setting high-altitude jumper. He already made two preparation jumps in the area, one in March from 15 miles high and on in July from 18 miles high. It will also be the end of his extreme altitude jumping career; he has promised this will be his final jump. After the jump, Baumgartner says he plans to settle down with his girlfriend and fly helicopters on mountain rescue and firefighting missions in the U.S. and Austria.

COMMENTARY
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
or a moment, the Kansas football team looked like it had some magic. The team stormed back from a 20-point deficit to cut Oklahoma States lead down to six. Sadly, a roughing the kicker penalty caused the game to be over, and Kansas lost 20-14. But, hope is not lost. With the offense hardly posing a threat to the Oklahoma State defense in the first half, coach Charlie Weis had to make a switch. Senior quarterback Dayne Crist just wasnt leading the team down the field efficiently. Weis found his spark plug in redshirt freshman quarterback Michael Cummings. Cummings completed five of his 10 passes for 75 yards and a touchdown. He led the team on two touchdown drives, and with the help of junior running back James Sims, the offense exploded, gaining nearly 160 yards in the fourth quarter. He had great composure, he was having fun, and he put us in a position to win the game, Weis said on Cummings performance. Its something we are going to have to seriously look at. And Weis is absolutely right. Cummings did something Saturday that Dayne Crist hasnt been able to do: He put Kansas in a position to win. Just think for a minute. Crist threw an interception against Rice to allow them to be in great field position. Crist couldnt lead the offense against TCU after the defense caused four turnovers. And Crist couldnt hit a wide open Kale Pick for a touchdown against Northern Illinois. On the other hand, Cummings was able to lead the offense back into the game. Sure, he overthrew sophomore running back Brandon Bourbon on a crucial fourth down, but he posed a threat that Crist cant. Dayne Crist is 6 feet 4 inches and has been playing college football in the past five years. Hes also a standard size for a quarterback and has a decent arm. But he doesnt possess a trait that Cummings has: mobility. Sure, Cummings isnt a traditional quarterback with his 5-foot-10-inch frame. He doesnt even have the experience like Crist. But with his agility and speed, the defense has to treat him differently. Crist would stand in the pocket, and when no one was open, he would either take a sack or be too slow to make the first down. When Cummings was in the game, he would bounce outside the pocket, causing the Oklahoma State defense to react to him. Even when he handed the ball off to the running backs, the defense had to make sure that he didnt have the ball because he poses a threat. Dayne Crist was brought here to Kansas to be the next big quarterback. Now that the idea hasnt worked, its time for a change. Out with the old and in with the new. Edited by Brittney Haynes

carry, it didnt seem impossible. After kicking off to the Cowboys, the Jayhawks forced a three-and-out that set Kansas up at their 27-yard line. With more than nine minutes left on the clock, there was plenty of time for Kansas to climb back into the game. But the Jayhawks only needed 42 seconds and two rushes by junior running back James Sims to score their second consecutive touchdown. The first run went for 28 yards. The second, which came after a fifteen-yard penalty on the Cowboys, went for 30 yards and to the back of the end zone. After three quarters and an hour and 19-minute rain delay earlier in the game,
Kansas was down by just six points. The last couple of games we really didnt show up in the fourth quarter, Sims said. This was a big turnaround for us. We just came together and wanted to finish the game strong. The Jayhawks could have finished stronger. Cummings only commanded one more drive, and it stalled near midfield after a failed fourth down conversion. Kansas defense would come up strong again, stopping the Cowboys at their 46 yard line with just over two minutes left. But on the ensuing punt, with the Jayhawks set to get the ball back, the Kansas special teams unit was called for roughing the kicker, a 15-yard penalty that gave Oklahoma State a first down that clinched the victory. In a fourth quarter where the Jayhawks could have used a little more time, they turned to a freshman quarterback who made the most of it, and who may be seeing more playing time in the future. . I think Mike played pretty solid, Weis said. He put us in a position to win the game. Its something we are going to have to seriously look at. Edited by Andrew Ruszczyk

The National Hockey League was supposed to start on Friday but cancelled games through Oct. 24 due to the labor dispute between the NHL Players Association and the owners. NHL players have already began signing contracts to play abroad, and Washington Capitals star Alexander Ovechkin even said he may choose to stay in Russia if the lockout results in a decrease in player salaries. Unlike the NFL and NBA, who
Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg was benched after Sept. 8 despite having a great year for the National League East Champions. Strasburg was 15-6 with a 3.16 ERA before being shut
down. Strasburg had Tommy John surgery last season prompting the Nationals to shut him down before the season ended to avoid further injury. The Nationals could have used Strasburg in their series against the St. Louis Cardinals and they are taking heat from the media and fans for their decision to sit their young star. I agree with a lot of the criticisms. The Washington Nationals are the first D.C.-based team to reach the postseason in 79 years and the fans deserved to see the best players on the field. Strasburgs innings should have been limited earlier in the season so that he would avoid being overworked and still play in the most important part of the Nationals season as they locked up a playoff start long before the season ended. The future looks bright for the
team in our nations capital, but there is no guarantee that the Nationals will find themselves in the playoffs again soon. Strasburg is too important for the teams success to be left watching in the biggest moments. edited by ryan Mccarthy

field said of his penchant for changing games. Ive always been ball aware. I see the ball out a lot because Im always around it. I cant tell you why. Ill just take them as they come, though. The only remaining player from Tampa Bays Super Bowl champion of 10 years ago picked off a pass that nearly hit the ground after glancing off the intended receivers arm, and it smooth sailing up the right sideline, with teammate E.J. Biggers leading the way. I was covering the inside slant. E.J.
actually made a great play, Barber said. Hes gotten the assist on a couple of my interceptions here the past couple of years. Give him more credit than me. I just snatched it off the ground before it hit it. It was a pretty easy 78-yard run for me. Josh Freeman threw for a season-high 328 yards and three TDs for the Bucs (23), who intercepted Brady Quinn twice in the Kansas City quarterbacks first start in nearly three years. Freemans inconsistency has been
an issue during a slow start by Tampa Bay, however the fourth-year pro is developing a touch on deep passes thats sparked a sputtering offense over the past two games. He teamed with Mike Williams on a 62-yard scoring play in the first quarter and threw TD passes of 19 and 17 yards to Vincent Jackson in the second half. The victory coming off a bye week ended a three-game skid and left the Chiefs (1-5) heading into their open date with a three-game skid of their own.
Its a big day for our offense and for our team to get back on track, Bucs coach Greg Schiano said. For Josh, especially, I thought he kept his cool throughout the game when things didnt go well. ... Sure, there are going to be throws hes going to wish he had back and things he wished he did differently. Its a slow process, but hes getting better. Barber, making the transition to safety after 15 seasons as one of the NFLs top cornerbacks, scored his 14th
career regular season touchdown when he picked off a pass that bounced off Dexter McCluster and ran up the sideline untouched to make it 21-3 early in the third quarter. The Chiefs thought the ball hit the ground. The play was reviewed, but the ruling that it was an interception and TD stood. I got hit on the play, Quinn said. I thought I put the ball in a good spot, but all of a sudden I looked up and I saw him running. It was a tremendous play.

Without a doubt, this goes to Defensive Coordinator Dave Campo. Campo held one of the nations top scoring offense to 20-points and held the Big 12s best run game to 116-yards. Without the work that Campo had done, Kansas wouldnt have even been in a position to win the game.

Senior quarterback Dayne Crist surprises Oklahoma State players by running the ball in a play Saturday at memorial Stadium. Coach Weis took Crist out of the game in the fourth quarter after a scoreless first three quarters, after which the Jayhawks scored two touchdowns, but lost to the Cowboys 20-14.
offense
Before michael Cummings took over the offense in the third quarter, Dayne Crist completed only 10 of 22 passes, and James Sims had only rushed for 45 yards. By the end of the fourth, Sims had gained nearly 100 more. If kansas continues to play like it did after the QB switch, the grades will keep climbing. Grade: C+
defense
there is a reason kansas was in a position to win, and it didnt have to do with a personnel change. Dave Campos defensive corps played one of its best games to date, holding Joseph randall the Big 12s leading rusher averaging seven yards per carry to just 80 yards on 29 rushes. the defense also snagged its 14th takeaway of the season. Grade: A
special teams
kansas went 0-5 on converting fourth downs, which isnt as concerning as the fact that coach Charlie Weis felt that his offense would have a better shot than his special teams five times. Sean huddleston took over for ron Doherty on punts and averaged 40.8 yards on five kicks. Grade: D+
coaching
Self admittedly, Charlie Weis tried everything in the playbook. When he got to that point, michael Cummings became the next option. It obviously wasnt an easy move for Weis to take out the quarterback he recruited, but it was a necessary one. Not to mention Dave Campo still doesnt get nearly enough credit. Grade: B

Texas Tech shocked the world on Saturday after pounding West Virginia and handing the team its first loss of the season. Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege threw for 499 yards, the most hes thrown in a single game. Doege also threw six touchdown passes in the game to give the Red Raiders a 35-point win. Wide receiver Darrin Moore was Doeges biggest target. Moore pulled in nine catches for 92 yards and three touchdowns. The Red Raiders defense hindered West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith. Smith came into this game with an 81 percent completion percentage, but completed only 29 of his 55 passes 53 percent against Texas Tech. Smiths 26 incompletions were a factor in the Mountaineers mustering only 14 points, a season-low.

Jared Barnett filled in for Iowa State quarterback Steele Jantz, who was out with a knee injury. Barnett threw for 166 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. A touchdown pass to tight end Ernst Brun Jr. late in the second quarter gave the Cyclones their first lead of the game. However, the momentum boost disappeared when Kansas States ground game made its presence known. Kansas State ran the ball 52 times. Quarterback Collin Klein scrambled 25 times for 105 yards and three touchdowns. Running back John Hubert was also a prominent player, running 22 times for 79 yards. Kansas States defense ended the game with two consecutive fourth down holds in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats remain undefeated.

Oklahoma scored first and never looked back against Texas. The only points scored by the Longhorns came from a blocked extra point attempt taken back 88 yards for two points by corner back Quandre Diggs. Oklahoma went into halftime with a 36-2 lead. Texas quarterback David Ash threw 13 of 29 passes on Saturday. Ash and the Texas offense had no opportunities to succeed after being held to 13 first downs and converting only four of 13 third downs. Sooners quarterback Landry Jones passed for 321 yards and a pair of touchdowns, contributing to Oklahomas 677 total yards. Damien Williams also played a big role, running for 167 yards and a touchdown to help defeat Texas.
It was redemption week for both teams. Each went into Saturdays game after losing the week before; Texas Christian was defeated by Iowa State after losing quarterback Casey Pachall, and Baylor lost to West Virginia in a wild shootout two weeks ago. In this game, it was TCU that prevailed. TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin played a better game this week, throwing 261 yards and four touchdown passes. Coach Gary Patterson tried to take some of the pressure off Boykin by getting the ground game involved. Boykin scrambled 16 times for a touchdown, and tailbacks Aundre Dean and B.J. Catalon each had more than 70 rushing yards to contribute to TCUs 248 total. It was simply a bad game for Baylor quarterback Nick Florence. Florence completed only 12 passes and threw four interceptions. As a team, Baylor committed six turnovers and held possession of the ball for only 18 minutes and eight seconds. Although the fourth quarter began as a one-score game, TCU scored three unanswered touchdowns to pull the game away from the Bears. Edited by Nikki Wentling
