Boise breaks bad for good Jeff Bulger Staff Writer

Hundreds of fans lined the streets outside of the Egyptian Theatre on Sunday, Sept. 15, to see the latest episode of AMC’s hit show “Breaking Bad.” Aaron Paul, the two-time Emmy award-winning star best known for his portrayal of Jesse Pinkman on the show, rented out the Egyptian Theatre to treat a lucky group of fans to the world premiere of the newest episode of the series, “Ozymandius.” Aaron Paul, born and raised in Emmett, Idaho, released a tweet on Sept. 9, stating that he planned to rent out the Egyptian Theatre for the premiere of the latest episode later that week. “I rented out the Egyptian Theatre in downtown Boise to live stream the next episode. Who’s coming with me? It’s free. It’s fun,” Paul tweeted. Peak Broadcasting sponsored the event in partnership with the Egyptian Theatre. Tickets were available to listeners of Peak Broadcasting stations such as Mix 106, Wow Country 104.3 and 103.3 Kiss FM. Officially titled, “Breaking Bad for Good,” all proceeds from the screening went to local charities such as the Idaho Foodbank, Treasure Valley Youth Theater and St. Luke’s Childrens’ Hospital. Before the actual event took place, Aaron Paul began to give out clues via his official Twitter page as to where more tickets might be stashed around town, leading several fans to embark on a city-wide scavenger hunt to gain access to the screening.

Paul himself made several appearances outside of the theater to sign autographs, pose for photos, talk to fans and give away what few tickets remained. Several fans showed up to the Egyptian wearing elaborate costumes based on some of the show’s major players. Two such fans, Boise natives Jordan Anderson and Chris Scott, dressed up as Jesse Pinkman and Walter White and brought homemade signs to the event in an attempt to win a pair of tickets. “I’ve been a fan since day one,” Anderson said. “I’ve always been a big fan of Bryan Cranston and his work on ‘Malcolm in the Middle’. I’m way proud that someone from around here is a part of the show, too.” While the talk of the night was the screening itself, many fans, including Scott and Anderson, discussed the possible directions the show might go in the final three episodes. “The show is about a lot more than just making meth,” Scott said. “Walt isn’t just a drug dealer; he’s also a family man. I think Walt is going to end up coming back to help Jesse, but he could also easily end up dead in the desert and no one would miss him.” Hometown fans weren’t the only ones to show up for the premiere. A number of Paul’s best friends from Los Angeles made the trip to see their friend receive a hometown welcome and enjoy the show themselves. Chris Paul, who shares no relation to the “Breaking Bad” star, believes that Aaron Paul

Aaron Paul rented out the Egyptian in downtown Boise for the premiere of ‘Breaking Bad.’ will win another Emmy for his performance this season. “I’ve known him for around nine years,” Chris Paul said. “We’re all big fans of the show and it’s definitely the best show on TV right now. Chris Paul is a writer from L.A. and maintains his own blog at IAmTheArbiter.com. Paul shared his thoughts and predictions for future episodes as well. “Jesse is the moral compass of the show. I think he’ll end up being the last man standing,” Chris Paul said. “I don’t know if it’s because he’s back in Boise or if it’s because something happened to him in this

episode, but he’s been really sentimental about the show today. We kept asking him ‘Hey man, you’re in L.A. way too often. Did something happen to you in the show? Why aren’t you back in New Mexico filming?’ And he would just say ‘No, I’m going back soon, trust me.’ He eventually did go back, but there was a while where we thought something happened.” After the show, the lobby of the theater and the streets surrounding it were abuzz with conversations amongst fans about what had just transpired on the big screen. One fan, Boise State student and biology major Danni Pe-

tersen, left the theater extremely satisfied. “(The episode) was very intense and everything that happened was super important to the story,” Petersen said. “It was great. Not just the episode itself, but the overall experience was great. There were no letdowns.” The next episode of “Breaking Bad” — “Granite State” — will air Sunday, Sept. 22 , at 7 p.m. MST. The final episode, “Felina,” will air Sunday, Sept. 29, at 7 p.m. MST. The Egyptian Theatre plans to live stream both episodes for Breaking Bad aficionados to enjoy.

Health Services says flu shots are readily available, need no appointment and won’t cause illness @KateRosePumpkin

With Flu Season just around the corner, University Health Services at Boise State is preparing their annual campaign to fight the spread of influenza on campus and in the greater community. A major obstacle to this campaign may be student apathy towards getting the flu vaccine. “It’s really just a matter of coming by Health Services. If you’re on your way from one place to another and you think about it, then you can get vaccinated. There’s no appointment necessary,” said Dr. Vincent Serio, the Director of Medical Services for University Health Services at Boise State. Boise State Health Services’ flu-fighting campaign is expanding this

year to include vaccine opportunities within certain residence halls in order to make the vaccine accessible to as many students as possible. The campaign will start in early October, when vaccines will first be made available to students. Encouraging students to get vaccinated, Serio explained, helps prevent flu related deaths on a wider scale than a college campus. While young and healthy adults are considered a low-risk subset of the population, vaccinating students helps protect high-risk subsets of the population from developing flu-related health complications by preventing the spread of the influenza virus. According to the Center for Disease Control, the most likely subgroups of the population to develop flu-related health complications include children

younger than five years old, adults over 65, pregnant women and people with preexisting medical conditions such as respiratory conditions and weakened immune systems attributed to HIV, AIDS, or cancer. “The public health model is this: we know not everyone wants to get vaccinated or will, but when you do come in and get vaccinated, yes you’re protecting yourself, but you’re also contributing to what we call herd immu-

nity,” Serio said. “You’re decreasing the risk for the young, healthy appearing student that is sitting next to you with cystic fibrosis that you don’t know about, or asthma, or diabetes, or who is pregnant– members of the high risk groups for influenza-and you’re preventing them from getting sick too.” Common misconceptions about the flu and the vaccine may affect students’ decision to get vaccinated. Some students complain about getting the

flu from the vaccine. “I tell them, ‘prove it’,” Serio said. “You cannot get the flu from the flu shot. Some people get soreness at the injection site, and some people will get more generally achy and feel flulike symptoms. But you cannot get the respiratory symptoms.” According to the Center for Disease Control, the vaccine itself cannot cause the flu because the viruses contained in the shot are inactivated and therefore cannot cause infection. Serio stated that while it is possible to contract flulike symptoms from other common viruses after getting vaccinated, the risk of developing seasonal influenza after getting the flu shot is extremely minimal and exists for only 10-20 percent of the population. Day-to-day precautionary measures can help to prevent the flu, such as

frequent hand washing, healthy eating and getting enough sleep. However, the only thing that has ever been proven to prevent the flu is the vaccine itself. “I’ve only gotten the flu a couple of times. I just figure if I wash my hands and stuff then I’ll be fine,” said Brooke Hopkins, a freshman with an undecided major. Health care professionals may face an uphill battle in convincing students that influenza is a serious enough problem that it is worth taking time out of their day to get vaccinated. “I don’t love shots enough and I don’t feel there’s a need for one enough to take the 15 minutes to go to Walgreens or wherever to get vaccinated,” said Alex Cole, a sophomore at Boise State studying computer science. “It’s probably a matter of laziness and inconvenience.”

Get rid of your stress

Boise State cheers for Rox Zee The Tee Dog Team alternates Rox Zee and Big Zee Mallory Barker @Mal_a_gal

the dogs are so good at their job. “They are retrievers first,” Alderson said. “I trained them as hunting dogs first and that creates the foundation. They want to retrieve anything so they just have to transfer from retrieving a bird to a tee.” Mackness highlighted the different personalities of Rox Zee and Big Zee. “Rox Zee is all about getting the job done. She is there to do a specific task and she is ready,” Mackness said. “Big Zee is more into having fun. He’s a little slower and more entertaining sometimes because he will pick it up and drop it then go back for it.”

Rox Zee waits at the sideline, knowing her turn will be coming soon. Her trainer, Willie Alderson, walks her to the 20-yard line. She stiffens, here it comes. Rox Zee tenses her body into a perfect pointer stance and her right leg begins to twitch. Alderson releases her and she is there and back again in a matter of seconds. The crowd goes wild. Rox Zee, Zamzows’ Starter Tee Dog has retrieved the tee with ease. The Zamzows Tee Team began three years ago with the original Zee who has since been retired. Zamzows has since had four Tee Dogs: Zee, Rox Zee,

Mini Zee and Big Zee (Drake). Mini Zee was adopted this last season to a loving family and Zee sticks around for promotional purposes only. Caitlin Mackness, event coordinator for Zamzows, explained why the Tee Team is important for Boise State. “Boise State’s unique with its blue turf, it ought to be unique with how they retrieve the tee as well,” Mackness said. Alderson owns Big Zee and Rox Zee who are the current runners for the Zamzow’s Tee Team. “Willie’s been great with training the dogs,” Mackness said. “I wish my dog was that well behaved.” Alderson explained why

In addition to the dogs, each home game has a Tee Kid retrieve the tee at least once. The Tee Kid is picked through a contest ran by Zamzows. Kids ages 6-12 can pick up a coloring page at any Zamzows and drop off the finished product to be entered into a drawing. The kids are picked every Monday before the game. The Tee Kid gets two end zone tickets for family or friends and the child

and a parent or guardian gets to stand on the sideline during the game. Mackness is thrilled to be a part of the program and said seeing the Tee Kid smile each game fills her with joy. “It’s really exciting for them,” Mackness said. “And it’s really very exciting for me.” There will be opportunities to take photos with the Zee Dogs the next two home games.

Students discuss Master Plan Mallory Barker @Mal_a_gal

Boise State’s Master Planning Team will hold a forum with students to discuss ideas and plans for the upcoming revision of the Campus Master Plan. All students are invited. Students who would like to participate in the walking

tour of the campus, should meet at the Student Union Building (SUB) Info Desk (near the SUB atrium) on Friday, Sept. 20 at 2 p.m. Christy Jordan, the director of Capital Planning and Space Management, explained that with the new strategic plan it was time to revisit the Master Plan. “Our consultants suggested we get together with the

students, walk around the campus and hear what they have to say,” Jordan said. There will be a discussion with questions and answers while taking a short walk around the campus to see what is doing well and what can be improved. “We hope to hear what students like about campus, what do they not like about campus and what is missing,”

Jordan said. Students are encouraged to attend the forum to talk about what makes campus good, what could make it better and what students want to see in the future. “The emphasis is not to be in a room talking, but to be out and discussing things as they are seeing them” Jordan said. “I think the walk will trigger some of the things students would like to discuss.” Jordan asks that students attend and make their

opinions known. “It’s a really great opportunity for students to have their voice heard,” Jordan said. “We value their opinions and we really want to hear from students.” This is not the only opportunity for students and staff to discuss the Master Plan. Campus Planning will be holding a series of workshops throughout the fall semester. Within eight to 12 months Campus Planning hopes to have a final written document.

‘Breaking Expectations’ is a column by senior Danielle Allsop, which features her musings on being a college student living with a mental illness. I’ve always been a planner. I have to know what I’m doing and when I’m doing it. Spontaneous things used to cause a jump in my anxiety. This often leads to forgotten or ignored assignments, using “Sparknotes” instead of actually reading the book and even skipping classes in order to finish assignments that could have easily been finished much earlier. But the beginning of May always brings a release of stress, even for those without anxiety problems. Summer break always brings a sense of relief. No studious commitments to follow, no stress brought on by loads of schoolwork. However it also brings a lack of motivation. There are no real schedules and no real routines to follow. Essentially, it’s three months of pure laziness. This summer was different. I got a full-time job after unexpectedly quitting the one I had during the school year, went through a difficult break-up and enrolled in a summer school class the night before it began. Nothing seemed to follow my typical routine. Already in the fourth week of school, I am trying to get back into the grind of school routines and the constant on the go with no sleep, and you-have-toturn-in-that-blackboardassignment-by-midnightand-its-11:30 p.m. kind of stress has already taken its toll. Whether you’re a freshman just starting to get into your college routine, or a grad student who’s got it all together, getting into a routine of your own is key. Even if you don’t suffer from panic disorder, or something that interferes with getting things done, planning alleviates unwanted stress, allows you to have “you” time, and even if something does come up that requires your immediate attention, you can handle it. So, get a planner and write down every assignment that is due and when. Professors will give you a schedule of due dates in their syllabus. If not, ask for one. Highlight due dates and test dates so it’s the first thing you see when you scan the pages. Do I always follow my plans? Of course not. Things are bound to come up. But getting simple assignments or readings done early opens up time to do things that you want to do. Plus, you’re not staying up until the wee hours of the morning, probably in a sleepy haze, trying to memorize the phonetic alphabet (Oh yeah, I’ve been there).

In the August 21 chemical weapons attack in Syria, large quantities of the nerve agent sarin were deployed by President Bashar al-Assad’s regime against rebel forces, sparking international outrage and resulting in over 1,400 deaths according to U.S. estimates. Sarin gas is classified as a Schedule one substance by the Chemical Weapons Convention. “That means it’s outright banned,” said Michael Allen, Ph.D., a political science professor at Boise State. “Sarin gas is considered to be a weapon of mass destruction.” In 1992, the United Nations ratified the CWC to work to eliminate chemical warfare worldwide by banning the development and stockpiling of chemical weapons by its members, according to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Warfare (OPCW). CWC members currently represent 98 percent of the international chemical industry. “The tricky thing here is that Syria is not currently party to the Chemical Weapons Convention. Syria submitted to be part of the CWC just last Friday,” Allen said. Before Syria agreed to submit to the convention, there was no international body monitoring the development of chemical weapons in Syria. “The ones to stop them

are the Syrians themselves or other nations that contemplate invading or stopping them using some other method,” Allen said. According to Allen, the amount of deaths attributed to chemical weapons have been only a small percentage of the total deaths in the Syrian conflict so far. Allen stated the outrage caused by the use of chemical weapons in Syria is attributable to the international norm established by the CWC. “Nations that are considered good at war consider this type of weapon to be immoral,” Allen said. “They are globally considered to be the poor man’s option for a weapon of mass destruction. People who die from chemical weapons die in a lot of nasty ways. You can have a strong and demoralizing impact on the opposition by using them because chemical weapons are generally considered to be a horrible weapon.” Sarin gas is a particularly potent chemical weapon because of the speed it takes effect and is potent even in low concentrations. “Sarin is 26 times more deadly than cyanide,” said Don Warner Ph.D., a chemistry professor at Boise State. “Sarin gas can be ingested via inhalation or even absorption through the skin. It’s fairly persistent as well, and that’s one of the big problems,” Warner said. “It has a long enough life time that if it is

U.S. military trainees gather around a table in preparation for active nerve agents to be released. absorbed in your clothing you can still inhale it, and if you come into contact with others and you’re releasing these vapors then other folks can inhale it as well.” According to Warner, sarin gas is an organic phosphate which exhibits an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase by forming a bond causing the body’s nervous system to transfer an overload of signals to muscle tissues in the body. “What this does is it allows something called acetylcholine to accumulate in the body. The nerves keep firing, it doesn’t shut off. If you’re breath-

ing then basically it’s like you die from suffocation,” Warner stated. According to Warner the modern history of chemical weapons as warfare agents can be traced back to World War I. “In World War I, most of the chemical weapons that were used were more of the mustard gases, which are blistering agents,” Warner stated. “Usually what happens with these types of compounds is they generate a strong acid when they are exposed to moisture, like mucus and things like that in the body, and that causes blistering. If you inhale it, it will cause

blistering in your lungs.” Modern day nerve agents work much faster than chemical weapons used historically. “Modern chemical weapons are more effective, because they can react more quickly and smaller amounts can cause more death,” Warner said. Warner explained sarin gas works just as quickly as the body’s nervous system is able to communicate. “You can imagine that this is a fast, rapid, very quick enzyme, because these responses by nature have to be quick,” Warner said.

Celebration open to the public Lance Moore @LanceMoore07

On Sept. 22, the Boise community will have the opportunity to pay final respects to the recently deceased Velma Morrison, an icon for both the city of Boise and Boise State. Alongside her late husband Harry W. Morrison, she sought to enhance the performing arts community both in Boise and at Boise State by raising funds for pro-

grams as well as attracting musical and artistic talent from around the world. The memorial celebration will feature a concert tribute at the Morrison Center and is completely free to the public, on a first-come first-serve basis. There will be a multitude of guest speakers to recount the memories and legacy of Morrison, as well as a concert by Tony award winner Brian Stokes Mitchell.

Mitchell is a New York Times acclaimed entertainer who has had an illustrious career in television and on Broadway, having contributed to shows like “Frasier” and “Glee.” He also had a part in the animated film, “The Prince of Egypt.” He will perform with the Boise Philharmonic under Music Director Robert Franz.

Boise State prepares for Carr Broncos will have all they can handle with the Fresno State offense @MichaelSteen2

Boise State has shaken off their woes after a 32-point loss to the University of Washington and have put up two straight wins at home with the most recent coming last Friday night against Air Force in a 42-20 victory to start off Mountain West Conference play. The Broncos now head to Fresno State to add another chapter in their storied rivalry against the Bulldogs when they face off on ESPN. While Air Force stuck with a heavy ground game against the Broncos, Fresno State brings an efficient and explosive passing game, led by redshirt senior quarterback Derek Carr. “He’s fundamentally really good,” Boise State head coach Chris Petersen said. “He’s been playing for a long time. I cannot believe he’s still there.” Derek Carr is the younger brother of former Fresno State quarterback and the 2002 number one overall NFL draft pick,

David Carr. Twelve years ago, an upstart Boise State team went into Fresno and took down David Carr and the number eight ranked Bulldogs who were on the verge of becoming the first BCS buster in the history of the system. The Idaho Statesmen reported in 2011, when Derek arrived in Fresno in 2009, David Carr hung a Boise State flag on Derek Carr’s wall and told him he couldn’t take it down until he beat Boise State. David Carr claims he roots for the Broncos every week of the year except for this one. “Don’t believe it,” Petersen said. “He’s a good guy; he’s a heck of a player.” This time around, the Bulldogs are ranked 25th in the coaches poll and are the favorites for the first time in a long time against the Broncos. An offense that gets the ball out of Derek Carr’s hands quickly will give the Boise State defensive backs all they can handle. “There’s no question that they’ll have to improve

a great deal from game one to where we are now for us to hang in there,” Petersen said. Through two games this year, Carr has completed

74-of-104 passes for 661 yards and eight touchdowns to get his Bulldogs into the top 15 in the nation in both passing yards and points per game.

what they need to finally get past this Boise State team. “They’ve got a lot of good skill guys, but we just need to do our jobs,” redshirt senior linebacker Khayree Marshall said. “If we just do our jobs, I feel like we’ll be fine.” The Broncos will kickoff against Fresno State on ESPN at 7 p.m. on Friday night.

“I saw them play a few weeks ago and they toss that rock around,” redshirt junior wide receiver Matt Miller said. “I think it would be a lot of fun.” Fresno State is coming off a bizarre week where their game against Colorado University was postponed due to flooding in the Boulder area. With a week of extra preparations, it could be

Head coach Chris Petersen knows preparing for Derek Carr will be one of the toughest challenges all year.

Storied rivalry renewed Angie Christiaens Staff Writer

Boise State (2-1, 1-0 Mountain West Conference) and Fresno State may not be the biggest rivalry in college football, but it’s certainly an intense one. The Broncos travel to Bulldog Stadium this Friday with the hope of bringing the victory and the Milk Can back home. With the rivalry dating back to 2001 when Boise State joined the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), the Broncos upset the undefeated Bulldogs 35-30 in their home stadium. Ranked eighth and

having star quarterback David Carr — 2002 NFL Draft first overall pick — on their team at the time, Fresno State then saw who their true rivals were. Since then, it’s been an exciting match-up for both sides. The two teams have met up every year after, with the Broncos controlling the series winning with an average at 48-17. However, it wasn’t until 2005 that the Milk Can trophy was created. Fresno State gave Boise State their only loss in the series winning 27-7 that year. The Milk Can was first presented on-field in 2006 when Boise State beat Fresno State 45-21. After that, Boise State

has been the victor of every single game. Their largest win, and only shutout, was in 2010 with a 51-0 victory. Redshirt senior wide receiver Matt Miller has put a premium on preparing for Fresno State this year and knows that a familiar foe will be fighting hard for the win. “They are a physical bunch of guys,” Miller said. “A lot of the same guys that we played against last year so we’re kind of familiar with the personnel.” Familiar they are, playing a total of 14 games so far in this series against the Bulldogs. Head coach Chris Petersen, however, doesn’t seem

all that concerned with the rivalry. “For coaches, there’s just so much urgency on taking the next step,” Petersen said. “We know Fresno’s got a heck of a team. There’s no

question about it, but we’re so much a work in progress, all these weeks seem the same to me.” The players’ opinion may differ with Petersen when relating to

the rivalry. “It’s always a big game. It’s always a battle,” Miller said. “(There’s) a great atmosphere down in Fresno and it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
