Eastman Kodak, a leading innovator of photography and creator of the first digital camera, filed for bankruptcy earlier this year. The effects of this bankruptcy will be felt, although minimally, by Boise State’s art
department. “I suspect it won’t have much impact on us other than an eventual price increase in the film our students use,” said Shawna Hanel, photography laboratory technician. Boise State proactively switched to Kodak Tri-X, a popular film in the broader photographic community.
Tri-X is a film type that will likely survive Kodak’s reorganization. Currently, the university offers five photography courses, two of which are film-based and utilize Kodak products. Photography students are responsible for purchasing their own film and photo paper.
“Tri-X will probably be sold to another company, who will then market it as a boutique product, hence the eventual price increase,” Hanel said. Although Eastman Kodak created the first digital camera in 1975, foreign competition and insufficient markets are
among the factors causing the company’s financial instability. “From what I understand,

Every day is a fashion show and the gym is your runway. Yes, the gym. Taking time to put effort into your workout gear can boost your energy, confidence and leave you with some awesome perks. Students who dress to impress at the gym claim they feel more confident when they dress in their best workout gear. “I work out so I can look and feel good,” Rebecca Fellin, junior marketing major, said. “I take the time to dress for the gym because I feel more comfortable and confident working out when I look good.” One of the biggest trends for ladies is yoga pants. With every brand embracing them, they have become cute, functional and the perfect pants to work out in. Most yoga pants are made of a cotton and spandex blend. This material is very formfitting to curves and highlights a woman’s figure. “My favorite part of my workout gear is definitely my yoga pants,” Ashlynn Goody, freshman civil engineering major, said. “They are so comfortable and they look cute at the same time. With the new yoga pant fashion going around, they come in just about every color, design and style.” Victoria’s Secret Pink Collection has blinged up and tailored yoga pants to be the cutest addition to your workout gear. In a perfect workoutgear world, ladies and gentlemen would have many options when it came to choosing workout shirts, tank tops and sports bras. However, the Recreation Center on campus doesn’t allow for sleeveless shirts. There are options, however, that adhere to the dresscode. Nike makes V-necks with Dri-FIT technology for men and women. These shirts have sleeves and the material absorbs sweat and doesn’t show wet spots as obviously as a regular cotton T-shirt. These shirts can be loose or form-fitting and look great paired with yoga pants or basketball

Whatever the reason may be— too much studying or no motivation—students across the country are lacking in physical activity in their daily lives. Lack of time is not an excuse for Carmichael. “I wake up early to get in my exercise,” Carmichael said. “You’d think I’d be more tired from waking up early, but it’s actually the complete opposite. I feel rejuvenated and have more energy than I do when I sleep in.” Not having time for physical fitness is a common excuse for students. But with evidence pointing to exercise helping with overall mental health, it seems that exercise is a necessary practice that many students leave behind.

Candace Carmichael wakes up early most days for a brisk 6 a.m. run. While others might think she’s crazy interrupting sleep for exercise, Carmichael, a sophomore business major thinks it’s necessary for the energy and stamina she needs throughout the day. “Exercise is important,” Carmichael said. “It gives me the extra push I need to get through my day and feel good about it.” An article by Andrew Downs and Jennifer Ashton reported 53 percent of college students had symptoms of depression. With the increased anxiety and the stress of being on their own, students are under massive amounts of pressure financially,
academically and socially. Without required physical education credits and a lack of time or personal motivation, many students seldom remember or care to exercise. However, exercise has also been shown to help in terms of academics. “Exercise is good for stress relief,” said Cala Seilaff, assistant director of fitness programs at Recreation Services. “The natural high you get from exercising releases endorphins that give you overall better energy and focus.” Seilaff explained the less people exercise the more lethargic they become. In her experience working with many students on their physical fitness, she has seen exercise boost motivation, grade point average and adherence. “I get depressed if I don’t exercise,” Carmichael said. “When I wake up and exercise, my energy level is so much higher and I feel better about myself all around.” When students take the time to exercise, it gives them control over their body image and not only makes them feel better about

Work to tear down Student surveillance ops by Osama bin Laden’s NYPD brought under fire compound begins NEW YORK CITY water rafting trip with watched sports, acABBOTTABAD, PAKISTAN— Early Saturday Pakistani crews began demolishing the compound where Osama bin Laden lived before he was killed. Local residents told the Associated Press that government officials came in sometime after sunset. Officials brought in mechanical backhoes to tear down the outer walls of the compound, using floodlights to guide them. A senior Pakistani government official
told NBC News the compound was “80 percent demolished.” Additional Pakistani soldiers and police officers arrived to the demolition scene to keep spectators out. Some time during the demolition process, the local power supply was cut and security forces blocked off all routes entering and leaving the area. Locals have heard rumors the compound will be replaced by a park. The park is supposed to be completed in a month.
NATO recalls Afghan Ministry staff after two American officers killed KABUL, AFGHAN I S TA N —Tw o American officers were shot at close range in the Afghan Interior Ministry on Saturday. NATO has recalled its staff. The incident is believed to be a response to the Koran burning last week. “For obvious force protection reasons, I have also taken immediate measures to recall all other ISAF (NATO’s International Security Assistance Force) personnel working in ministries in and around Kabul,” General John Allen,

top NATO commander in Afghanistan, said to Reuters. United States officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the identity of the shooter was unknown and there were no known witnesses to the crime. According to Afghan security, the two victims were a United States colonel and major. The Taliban claimed responsibility for these attacks, saying they were in response to the desecration of copies of the Koran on NATO’s Bagram air base.
—Fears of New York police infiltrating their lives in an effort to keep various segments of radicalism at bay has spread beyond the originally targeted Muslim students.

Police also monitored websites for the groups. Additionally, they created databases logging where Muslims lived, worked, prayed and even where they

After this story broke, interest groups in various universities across the Northeast, including many nonMuslim students who didn’t want to worry about being watched as they went about their daily lives, started debating what to do. It is unknown if surveillance of this type is still going on, but many feel it probably hasn’t stopped.

Idaho gas prices rise, but are still below the national average price BOISE, IDAHO —Gas prices in Idaho have been climbing in the past month with an average increase of 16 cents per gallon. This rise in gas prices will continue, according to the Idaho Statesman. Idahoans have been lucky—the prices were below the nation-
al average all winter. “The rapid escalation in oil prices in the past several weeks has yet to be accounted for at the retail level, so prices everywhere will continue to rise,” Dave Carlson, spokesman for AAA Idaho, said. Friday’s national average price for regular-grade gasoline
was $3.65, about 42 cents or more per gallon compared to last winter. Idaho’s average price has climbed 8 cents in the past week, according to Carlson. The average price per gallon in Oregon is $3.78, same with Washington. Montana hovers around $3.20 per gallon.

Emergency exit opened on tarmac VIETNAM—Sitting next to a crying child on an airplane makes the trip drag on. One young mother sought to ease her fellow passenger’s pain. Her neighbor, Le Van Thuan, offered to help.
He yanked open the emergency exit, triggering the inflatable slide going down to the tarmac. The woman refrained from exiting.
Too bad. He might have gotten some of his money’s worth. Thuan was fined the equivalent of $950. Refitting the slide will cost at least $10,000.

Who is Occupy Boise? They burst onto the scene in October, an imitation of Occupy Wall Street, marching on Boise’s capitol toting signs that read “I am the working poor,” or “We are the 99%.” After several marches they set up an encampment across from the capitol on Jefferson Street between 5th and 6th, taking advantage of what Senator Jim Hammond referred to as a “loophole” in the law, which allowed them to camp on public land. This loophole was closed last Tuesday, when Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter signed HB404, giving Occupy members until Feb. 27 at 5 p.m., to clear out their belongings. “I am hoping that looking out on our funky little collection of tents will make the legislators reflect on why we’re there,” said Mary Reali, retired teacher and a spokesperson for Occupy Boise. And why were they there? Reali said they are trying to get the word out on their goals. “People are angry about the lack of prosecution of Wall Street execs,

share a $10 Blimpie with me?” Romney was quickly whisked inside the hotel. Occupy has other issues besides political contributions. They also want to adopt anti-usury laws which would limit interest rates for consumer loans. After the Great Depression, the Banking Act of 1933 gave more power to the Federal Reserve and kept commercial banks out of the investing market. That act, also known as the Glass-Steagall Act, was repealed in 1999, allowing the current financial crisis, according to Occupy Boise advocates. One of Occupy Boise’s goals is to teach people and raise awareness. “People need to start speaking up because not enough of our representatives are doing so, and not loudly enough. Money speaks very loudly in this country. Unless a lot of people stand up and speak together we’re going to be outnumbered,” Reali said. And standing up is what they were doing, until HB404.

“Occupy Boise investigated the law before we decided to camp here and what we are doing is legal,” Reali said. She was right, when those words were uttered. In a phone interview, Senator Jim Hammond said, “Many of us happen to agree with their cause, with their concerns. I just don’t think it’s appropriate for any cause to occupy state grounds for an extended period of time.” Legislators recently rectified the laws which allowed Occupy to camp on the Capitol Mall. Senator Jim Hammond of Couer D’ Alene sponsored HB404, a bill which prohibited dwelling on state property, including Occupied territory on the Mall. The bill passed the Idaho House on Jan. 26,with an overwhelming 54-16. After adding amendments, it passed through both houses by Feb. 18. Otter signed the bill last Tuesday. “I wish (Governor Otter) would have walked across the street, shook our hands, looked into our eyes and told us in person,” said Albert Garcia,

the obvious collusion of government and corporation—so many things that are completely contrary to our democracy, to our country,” Reali said. “Things are going off the track.” The 2010 Citizen’s United decision by the United States Supreme Court is one of Occupy Boise’s main concerns. The decision allowed “unlimited corporate and union spending in elections,” according to the Washington Post. The movement wants individuals, not corporations or unions, to provide financial backing to candidates running for public office. Their goal is to create a level playing field for all candidates. “When you pay a lot of money for someone to be in a position of power there must be some kind of payback,” Reali said. Occupy Boise held a protest at the Grove Hotel on Feb. 17, where Mitt Romney held a $1,000 per plate fundraiser lunch. One Occupy member held up a sign reading “Mitt, want to

a spokesperson for Occupy Boise. According to Garcia, the governor’s assistant gave them the news Otter had signed the bill. After Otter signed the bill, Occupy Boise started a legal process of its own. According to their press release, they have filed a lawsuit against Otter and Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna and Director Jerry Russell of the Idaho State Police, and are in contact with the Idaho State Attorney General. The suit alleged violations of freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and due process. Occupy Boise also sought a hearing for a temporary restraining order on Friday, Feb. 24 with Judge B. Lynn Winmill, an Article III federal judge for the U.S. District Court, District of Idaho. Winmill sought the weekend to mull over the problem, promising a conclusion this morning. Depending on his decision regarding the validity of Occupy’s claim, there may be some urgent packing going on today.
Boise’s Occupy Goals: 1.Adopt state laws that prohibit corporate contributions to political campaigns. 2. Pass laws that prohibit speculative banking practices in the state of Idaho. 3. Call for the Attorney General to investigate foreclosure fraud in banking and mortgage lending industries in Idaho. 4. Adopt anti-usary laws that will limit annual percentage rates and fees on consumer loans. 5. Create a state bank that would invest in Idaho’s economy rather than making

Does the end of the camp mean the end of the movement? HB404 will leave the Occupy Boise members displaced. Most go home every night, but several members actually live at the campsite. “I figure I’ve been here 99 days now,” said Richard Morgan, a veteran who participates in seven different working groups at Occupy. Morgan has personal reasons for joining the movement. His mother and his brother lost their homes in the mortgage financial crisis. A close friend was so distraught by the foreclosure of his home that, according to Morgan, he committed suicide the day before they foreclosed. Although Occupy Boise has taken legal action to ensure they aren’t kicked off, they don’t intend to stop protesting if they have to leave the Capitol Mall. “We’ll find other places to meet, we’ll keep going,” Reali said.

With midterms looming and the drag of the spring semester setting in, students facing the woes of intermittent warm weather can find solace in their adolescence with help of a local club, Pokémon of Idaho. The organization, and subsequently affiliated BSU Pokémon League Gym, headed by junior health sciences pre-pharmacy major Confesor Davila, has been swapping holographic Charizards and Venusaurs for years. At the top of the food chain in Idaho, Davila has made quite the name for himself at a local and national level. He is ranked number one in the state and 55 in North America. Although initially a Magic: The Gathering fanatic, Davila took his competitive streak to

Pokémon in 1999, citing strategic depth in the game as the main draw. His love for Squirtle and the gang continued to blossom as he found himself at the helm of the university-based collective. “Pokémon was just a game to me until I took over the planning and organization of the club,” Davila said. “I feel it is my way of giving back to players who, until recently, may not have had somewhere to meet, play and trade.” This communitarian aspect of the game is one of the most glorified. Competitors come from across the Treasure Valley to meet, play and size up each other’s decks.

The Pokémon League, where cards are traded and battles are won or lost, is open to everyone in the community. to the game by his son and revels in the challenge presented to those who play. “Most of us that are parents love the fact that our children have to read the cards, calculate the damage done and interact with the other players,” Bauman said. Besides the social, educational and competitive advantages gained from play, students and other
Pokémon enthusiasts find pleasure in the nostalgia and even potential monetary benefit. Idaho State University senior Jacob Andrysiak saw Pokémon as a way to combat lazy Saturdays. Coming off a recent booster tournament victory, Andrysiak uses the game to relax after a hectic week and encourages others to do the same. “Sometimes we get so
caught up in the college grind that we forget to have fun,” the education major said. “It helps me forget about school for a while and just do something that is a little out of the norm.” Davila also looks to Pokémon for stress relief. “I think any activity that can relieve stress is important for a college student to prevent you from feeling overwhelmed,” Davila
said. “The worst thing you can do, in my opinion, is study too hard and never leave your dorm room.” For those eager to dust off their old binders of Pokémon cards and try their hand at battling in a tournament setting, March 10 is this year’s Idaho State Championships at the Nampa Civic Center.

the risk, financial backing is provided to the company enabling them to strategize, and move forward. In order to continue business during reorganization, Eastman Kodak will receive $950 million in financing from Citigroup. This capitol will enable the company to acquire new technology and machinery, as well as access to new markets. According to Accounting
Professor Paul Bahnson, Ph.D., Kodak has tried a number of recovery strategies after film was succeeded by digital photography. Without ample success in past endeavors, the company must have some prospect to become a viable firm that will generate more value than it consumes. Eastman Kodak’s prospects lay partially in plans to sell a portfolio of 1,100 digital im-
aging patents. This intellectual property could potentially be worth billions of dollars. “Certainty there are a lot of intellectual properties developed by Kodak that should have alternative uses beyond simply putting images on film,” Bahnson said. With the company’s legacy of generous treatment to employees and retirees, Sadler said he thinks the largest effect will be on those people.
Eastman Kodak closed 13 manufacturing plants, 130 processing labs and cut 47,000 employees since 2003. Despite these losses, hope still remains for the future of Eastman Kodak. “Kodak is a huge company and was an elite brand for most of its life—it was the Apple of its generation,” Bahnson said. “I would not be at all surprised to see that they emerge successful.”

They make different types of running shoes, pants, shirt, sports bras, jackets and more.” For the gentlemen, compression shorts paired with basketball shorts or sweats are a go-to favorite for workout gear. “I really like my Under Armor shorts,” Hing Potter, junior political science major, said. “They go with any shirt, they are comfy and allow for full range when I work out.” It’s more about choosing the brand that best suits your type of workout and personal style. “I like Under Armor, Nike and Adidas,” Potter said. “They always come out with the best gear that gives you the best advantage.” Shoes have always been a great way to make a statement and with the fitness companies making flashy, bright and eye-catching shoes, your feet are sure to look fly at the gym. “My favorite part of my workout gear would have to be my Nike shoes,” Fellin said. “They give me support when I run and they are super cute.” Nike Shox are known for looking unique. However, because of the design, these shoes may not be the best to run in. Nike makes flat sole running shoes such as the Free Run along with other brands that make running shoes that are perfect for the treadmill or a run around the track.

That’s not what it’s about,” Hinton said. “It’s about getting people to learn new skills, have fun and enjoy what they’re doing.” In addition to learning new dance skills, students can also expect to make new acquaintances and

Birth Control QUESTION: Do you think health insurance companies should have to cover the cost of birth control?
iPads
Rachelle Brooks freshman criminal justice I think it should be a part of health insurance. It’s just like getting a pill for heart problems. It’s a pill to help women and if they are poor but have health insurance, then it’s still accessible.
Students should take advantage of the flexibility of mobile devices Tony Madonna Opinion Editor
The famous devices iPad and iPod Touch have hit classrooms on campus last year, to discover their “potential to be transformative,” according to the Mobile Learning Initiative of Boise State. These handheld mobile devices have a vast amount of potential among college students and professors. They aid students in many different ways, as long as the students actively use them. “The real draw we are finding from the mobile devices is anytime, anywhere access to information,” said Allan Heaps, E-Learning manager and instructional designer of Academic Technologies. The iPad and iPod Touch don’t do anything different than a laptop or netbook; however they are more readily available. The majority of students probably need to find a table or chair to use their laptop because it’s awkward and inefficient walking around using an open laptop. With an iPad or iPod Touch, it’s easier for people to walk around while they check emails, log on to BlackBoard to post on a discussion board, check for assignments or read a document on their way to
class. Also, in the moments we have time to do academic work but don’t have the time to break out the laptop, iPads “are able to take those moments (such as) waiting for their laundry or waiting for the bus to actually be able to be productive in course work,” Heaps said. But if the university gives college students an iPad or iPod Touch, won’t they just play games or go on Facebook? Not necessarily. “Faculty are most afraid of students sitting there not listening to the lecture,” Heaps said. “If they are going to be distracted by a mobile device, they are going to be distracted by anything else that’s in the class.” An iPad doesn’t bring distraction into the classroom; the distractions were already there. “If the teaching is not engaging enough, then students will be distracted by anything,” Heaps said. Students doodle or play tictac-toe, text friends, or stare at that cute blonde in the fourth row instead of listening and taking notes. They find distractions without iPads. David Rickels, Ph.D., director of Music Education, who has had experience with mobile devices such as the iPad in his classroom, doesn’t believe they hinder students’ learning.
“Do students, when I’m talking or if they finish their group assignment before the other groups, sometimes flip over to Facebook for a few seconds? Probably,” Rickels said. “But from what I have been doing and assessing of the classes, I don’t feel that (mobile devices) have gotten in the way.” Students have said these mobile devices don’t help them complete academic work in or outside of class. Complaints include the iPads are useless without an internet connection, documents are difficult to get on and off the iPad (which includes printing from an iPad) and the touch screen keyboard is difficult to use. (1) Students have access to Wi-Fi everywhere on campus. (2) Drop Box, a free program easily accessible for the iPad, allows documents to be accessed from any computer or device. (3) By utilizing Drop Box, printing is no longer an issue. (4) A touch screen keyboard is just something people adapt to the more they use it. “Once I decided to give (touch screen keyboards) a try, I realized with a little determination, I could learn how to type fast and well on these new digital keyboards,” Raffeale Dore, a junior double majoring in writing and literature, said. “You could find yourself in-
spired by a scene, an event, or people you see in front of you and you can start taking pictures and videos and add notes to them,” he said. “That makes the iPad quite a useful tool in the hand of a writer who wants to take advantage of it.” The key to these mobile devices is to fully utilize what they have to offer. It might be out of some students’ comfort zones, but they prove helpful in moments of down time or moments of inspiration. “You can find ways to benefit in just about every class if you make an effort to change the nature of the interaction of the class. It allows the students to interact with the instructor and with other students in different ways,” Rickels said. Taking advantage of the opportunity to use mobile devices in every aspect of the collegiate experience makes the iPad useful. These mobile devices give students the opportunity to take advantage of time that otherwise could be wasted.

Rachel Murphy freshman biology I don’t think politics or anything else should stop a woman from having those benefits. I think it should be covered because it should be a normal part of health insurance.
Chance Cooley junior exercise science Yes, because the pregnancy rate would probably go down. As much as people pay for health insurance these days, it should cover more stuff like birth control which is expensive. Girls need it and, from a guy’s perspective, a girl should have that second line of defense when it comes to sex.
L e tt e r t o t h e e d i t o r lowed to play house but the boys could only be brothers or uncles or the dad but never daughters or sisters or the moms. WE KNEW we were Boys, and there were certain things boys did and did not do. I guess what I’m getting at is that there are times when parents need to tell their children what is and what is not appropriate. There are standards to be taught and lines that need never be crossed. The responsibility of a parent is to PARENT their children. To teach them right from wrong. How confused is the child that doesn’t know whether to be a boy or girl. And how
simple is it to correct this behavior? A few months ago my 2 year old nephew came up to my sister wearing his mom heels and his sister’s feather boa. My sister never thought twice to correct his behavior. Of course she took a few pictures that could be used as blackmail down the road during his teenage years but then she simply told him, with a smile, “Silly Lincoln, boys don’t wear those.” End of discussion. She didn’t stop to evaluate if her son was transgender, she didn’t worry about being politically correct. She did what was parentally correct. He learned his lesson
and went back to playing with his trucks. I can’t imagine what kind of psychological problems that boy on The Today Show will have in his teenage years. Being a teenager is hard enough without having to wonder about your gender. How many nights will he cry himself to sleep because of confusion, how will he interact with his peers, what kind of bullying will he face all because he wasn’t told no? We need to learn the rewards of the word No in our society before we do unrepairable damage to our future. It is not fair to experiment with the lives of our kids.

There was a story of a young mother who was allowing her son to dress and act as a girl.

Broncos turn heads at MW Championships
Lucio Prado Journalist
Boise State’s track and field teams had a successful showing at the Mountain West Indoor Championships in Albuquerque N.M. A total of 15 Broncos earned all conference honors (12 men and three women) with five Broncos winning their events. The men finished second with a total of 154 points. They were edged out by Air Force which
scored 156.5. The women finished with 69 points, good enough for a fifth place finish. Texas Christian University won the championship for the women with a total of 141 points. Mele Vaisima, Kurt Felix, Emma Bates, Manoah Wesson and Trevor Kraychir all earned titles in their respected events. The senior Vaisima earned an NCAA automatic qualifying mark in the women’s weight throw.
Vaisima set a school record by more than two feet with a mark of 69’8.25”, the third-best mark in Mountain West history. The win keeps her undefeated on the season and gives her an opportunity to compete for an NCAA division-1 championship on her home turf in Boise. Felix secured a win in the heptathlon. Felix completed his final three events of the heptathlon on Friday, totaling 5,703 points, a Mountain West
Championship record. Kraychir had a mark of 64’-5.75” in the men’s weight throw, a mark that beat out his closest competitor by almost six inches. This was the third-straight indoor title captured by both these athletes. They won two straight in the Western Athletic Conference before capturing their first Mountain West titles over the weekend. Felix and Vaismia were named the men’s and
women’s Mountain West Outstanding Performance in the heptathlon and weight throw. Felix also earned the Mountain West Men’s Top Point Performer with 29.5 points total over the three-day meet. Wesson edged out teammate Karrie Butler for the 400-meter title. Wesson ran a time of 47.90 seconds, while Butler ran a personal best of 47.97 seconds to finish first and second, respectively.
Bates won the 3000-meter title with a career-best time of 9:47.51, the thirdfastest time in school history. The Broncos will be in action next Friday and Saturday in Seattle for the UW Last Chance Qualifier. They will return home the following week to host the NCAA D-I Indoor Championships. The meet will be held at Jackson Track in Nampa Friday, March 9 and Saturday, March 10.
Blues continue for the Idaho Steelheads

The Idaho Steelheads (23-26-6, 53 points) faced their brutal rivals, the Utah Grizzlies (23-25-5, 51 points) Wednesday and Friday in hopes of regaining position in the standings. Each game was close and only decided by one goal apiece. These rivals met earlier this year racking up more than 100 minutes in penalties in the third period alone, which would lead one to conclude that both teams despise each other. Wednesday the Steel-
heads went down 2-0 in the first period of play, but decided to not give up. Entering the second period, the Steelheads looked alive with Tommy Lange scoring his fourth goal of the season at 2:14 to put the Steelheads back in contention with Utah. With the teams going hit for hit, it was coming down to the third period to decide this game. Utah was able to put another goal away with 5:28 of the third on a Collin Vock rebound goal. Penalties were the death of Utah in the final period. Former Steelhead Cody
Lampl shared time with Nick Tuzzulino in the penalty box for the Grizzlies, giving Idaho a 5-on-3 power play. Idaho’s Chad Nehring was able to control a rebounded shot from Ian Lowe, which was backhanded into the goal to make it a 3-2 game at 12:41 of the third. With minutes to spare, Nehring sped away from defenders and fed the puck to Aaron Lewicki, who scored, tying the game at three. The game would be decided in overtime and the Steelheads’ strong defense held off Utah’s power play
which sent it to a shootout. Unfortunately for Idaho, they were unable to capitalize in the shootout, giving Utah a second point with the shootout victory. Friday, Idaho and Utah met again. With less than 40 seconds of the first, Utah’s Kory Falite scored from a rebounded shot. Idaho would later counter on a power play at 13:02 of the first. Utah would regain the lead late off of Falite’s second goal coming from Cody Lampl. Early in the second Mitch Wahl of the Grizzlies made it 3-1, putting the Steelheads on their
heels. Tommy Lange blasted a shot at 12:52 of the second, getting Idaho back into the game. Once again the Grizzlies’ penalties hindered their chances of closing out the game, while LeBlanc scored a left handed wrist shot over Spratt’s defender to tie the game at three. Entering the third, Idaho’s Derek Matheson had control of the puck, but a Utah player’s stick appeared to trip Matheson, who was unable to clear the puck. The puck would stay in Utah’s zone, and Turek was able to capitalize and scored a crucial
goal with little time to spare. Idaho’s last charge before the end of the game kept spectators on the edge of their seats, but failed to deliver. The game would end at 4-3 Utah. Jerry Kuhn recorded 31 stops for Idaho, while former Steelhead Jimmy Spratt got the win for the Grizzlies, stopping multiple breakaways to come up big for his teammates.

S&D claims MW championship
Boise State Swimming & Diving sets new conference records en route to a conference title Scott Thornton Arbiter Staff
Boise State may have been the newcomer to this year’s Mountain West Conference Championships, but the Broncos didn’t let that discourage them as they claimed the crown at their first opportunity. The Broncos battled with the competition for four straight days, with the San Diego State Aztecs being their main source of competition throughout. Boise State had the lead after day one but were taken over by the Aztecs after the second day. The Broncos entered the final day of competition trailing by a single point. The first event title won by the Broncos was the 800-yard freestyle relay, doing so with a time of 7:13.40. Senior Amber Boucher set a MW record with a split time of 1:45.85 in the first leg of race. Boucher was on her way to setting three individual

were set in the same event. She swam a record 22.43 seconds in the preliminary 50-yard freestyle and then set the new record of 22.31 in the finals of the same event—swimming to vic-
tory. A third record was set on the third day of competition in the preliminaries of the 100-yard butterfly, recording a time of 52.30. As a team, there were records set as well. Jes-
sica Bottelberghe, Sydney Johnson, Boucher, and Stephanie North set the 400-yard medley relay record at 3:35.59. This same group set a second MW record with a time
of 1:30.14 in the 200-yard freestyle relay. As a whole the Broncos had great showings in all events. They won a total of nine events in the tournament on their way to winning the championship over the defending champion San Diego State Aztecs by a score of 747-742. Amber Boucher was named the Mountain West Conference Swimmer of the Year after setting a total of five records at the tournament. North was also a record-setter at the tournament by setting a Mountain West all-time best in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 48.34, breaking her record of 48.54 that she set in the preliminary round. Another highlight for Boise was Coach Kristin Hill receiving her first MW Swimming Coach of the Year award. Overall, you could say the Broncos proved they belonged in their new conference and competed with the best.
Softball 2-3 Broncos win on Sr. Day in Cathedral City Classic John Engel Journalist
Sports Editor
The Bronco softball team (9-6) headed south last weekend to face some of the country’s best competition in Cathedral City, Calif. Thursday, Boise split its first two games, beating Cal St. Northridge 5-3 and dropping its second game to Cal St. Fullerton, 1-2. In their first game the Broncos appeared to be jet-lagged, waiting to score a run until the fifth inning. Senior Allie Crump pitched the complete game and only allowed one earned run on five Northridge hits. Sophomore Devon Bridges made up the majority of Boise’s offense with a seventh inning homerun and two crucial runs-batted-in in the final inning. Boise State was unable to generate much offense in its second game of the day, managing only one run against Cal St. Fullerton. Hits were abundant for the Broncos, but missed opportunities with runners on base left them searching for answers. Friday the team would split its two games yet again. The first, a loss to the No. 6 Oklahoma Sooners, 9-0. The Broncos were completely outmatched by the Big-12 competition and appeared as if they’d forgotten the art of batting, getting only two hits on the afternoon. The bats would return in their second game of the day, as they defeated Cal Poly 7-1. Senior first baseman Cristina Capobianco homered in the fifth to put her in the lead for career homeruns at Boise State. The Broncos would have seven different players score in their resounding victory. In the final day of the Classic the nation’s top softball team, the Florida Gators, would prove to be too much for the Broncos, who dropped the game 3-0. While Zell and junior Lela Work allowed only five hits to the No. 1 Gators, lack of offense and runners left on would again prove to be Boise’s downfall. The Broncos will be on the road again next weekend as they travel to the Wilson/DeMarini Invitational in Tempe, Ariz. hosted by the No. 4 Arizona State Sun Devils.

It’s safe to say no other finish would have been suitable for the careers of Boise State women’s basketball players Kati Isham, Heather Pilcher and Nicole Brady. The three seniors played their final game in Taco Bell Arena against the Wyoming Cowgirls on Saturday, in what was one of the most exciting games of the season. The Broncos (14-14, 5-8) defeated the Cowgirls (11-15, 7-6) 61-53, after losing by 20 points to the same team in Laramie, Wyo. back in January. Junior post Kenzi Poteet led the Broncos in scoring with 18 points, marking her best offensive game of the season. Isham had 16, while Pilcher finished with nine. “It’s the best way to end,” said Isham, who is currently sixth all-time among Broncos with 13.6 points per game. “You always want to finish your career where you started; with a win.” Despite not being able to close out big games at crucial times this season, the Broncos were able to find the much needed emotion necessary to beat the fifth place Cowgirls on Saturday. Boise State trailed until 5:24 remained in the second half and took its first lead just under the four minute mark. “It was like we played two games. In the first half we had our normal start, but in the second half I was really pleased with our enthusiasm and energy,” Head Coach Gordy Presnell said. “I thought our press affected them, even though you pay the price sometimes.” The only ones paying for the Broncos’ highpressure style defense were the Cowgirls. Keiahnna Engel and Pilcher had a combined four steals, which translated into six fast break points in the second half. Their aggressive play in the passing lanes allowed the Broncos to win the turnover battle, with a +9 margin by game’s end. Heading into halftime, Boise State found itself down 28-17 to the Cowboys, and was in dire need of an unsuspected hero to fill the void of the struggling Lauren Lenhardt. Poteet emerged as a dominant force in the paint for the Broncos, another promising note for next season. “Towards the end of the season I’ve been kind of feeling it and I’ve been on a role,” Poteet said. “People have been doubling (Lenhardt) more and I’ve had to step up. Lauren and I have great chemistry and I love playing with her.” Although the home season schedule concluded on a high note, the Broncos are far from in the clear. On Wednesday, Boise State faces the top ranked San Diego State Aztecs in Southern California before leaving for the Mountain West Conference championship tournament. Follow John Engel: @BSU_Engel.
