What’s clear is that it is in nobody’s interest. Until a few weeks ago, the outlines of the grand bargain were obvious: Insurers would accept the idea that they would have to offer insurance to everyone who wanted it at roughly the same rate, irrespective of health status. They’d also have to accept what amounts to a cap on the tax- free status of health benefits.

OISE — Until the fourth quarter of No. 7 Boise State’s 45-7 shellacking Bof moribund San Jose State (1-6, 0- 3 WAC), the Broncos (8-0, 3-0) were unable to muster anything resembling a running game. When the ground game failed, the Broncos simply turned to their bright young quarterback and asked him to move the ball. Kellen Moore did just that, going 21- for-33 for 278 yards and three scores. Another typical day for the sophomore sensation. “Kellen and the receivers can throw it pretty good, but the name of the game on Boise State’s defense is to stop the run first,”BSU head Kellen Moore coach Chris Petersen said. “Those guys hit (11) throws our quarter- against San back more Jose State than anyone during the first has all sea- half Saturday in son.” Dustin Carl Boise. BSU won Ihenacho Lapray 45-7. recorded the lone sack for the Spartans, but Moore hit the ground a number of times. Those turf greetings add up. “I was really worried there for a few of them,”said BSU receiver and QB sibling Kirby Moore. “He’s going to stay in the pocket and make the most for the team. He’s a tough guy.” Kellen Moore said afterwards he was OK, no major pain. He responded to the pressure with another stellar day. When he is on, nothing except a fumbled snap can stop him — a trend that happens to this team in every game. Moore never really got the mojo rolling with receiver Titus Young,who sat out two series in the second quarter for his unsportsmanlike antics at Hawaii last AP photo week. The pair missed on their regularly- scheduled bomb. But Kellen did hit his talented younger brother Kirby on a 61- yard strike along the left sideline.

But you’ve got to hand it to those who have foisted swine flu hysteria on the American people.

SPILT MILK David Cooper

Weeks ago, my wife asked if I wanted all of our children to be vaccinated for swine flu. Thinking nothing of it, I said absolutely. She then gave me a raised eyebrow as if to say, “You sure ’bout that?” My wife is a realist, not one of those conspiracy nuts pointing to the grassy knoll. So it was clear at that point she was suffering from a case of the vaccine worry warts. But now, almost a month later, the bandwagon has blazed a new path. It’s not a fear for the vaccine that has us shaking a fist at the government. It’s the shortage. Health agencies’ early estimates for H1N1 vaccine production were simply too optimistic. And now, flu symp- toms are wafting through our local schools. Is it swine flu? Is it regular flu? Is my kid milking my fears just so he can stay home? To make things worse, national media use the word “pandemic” to describe H1N1 virus. Pandemic, according to Photos courtesy of AMY SWEARINGEN the dictionary, is foremost an JJ Swearingen plays in his family’s Twin Falls backyard. JJ was born with his liver outside of his body, a birth defect called an adjective for “occurring over a wide geographic area and omphalocele. affecting an exceptionally high proportion of the population.” Under that definition, Jon and Kate Gosselin are more pandemic than swine flu, but Determined parents fight somehow I can’t get inoculated from that train wreck.

By Diana Marszalek For The Associated Press

Having moved five times in the last nine years, Pam Syx, now of Venice, Fla., had many opportunities to chuck some of her two children’s artwork along the way. Instead, a picture of a train that 6-year-old Preston drew with neon gel pens when he was 4 remains pre- served in a frame. A self-portrait by 9-year-old Veronica is immortalized on a coffee mug and coaster. Other creations plaster Syx’s office walls and refrigerator, and fill tote bags and boxes around the house. “I just can’t get rid of anything their little hands do,’’ said Syx, explaining that her habit of holding on started as an effort to spur her kids’ creativity. “My husband thinks I’m a packrat. He’s right,’’ Syx said. “I’m concerned that I’m going to pass down an undesirable habit to my kids or burden them with thinking they have to keep everything like I do.’’
