JULIAN — Are you looking for outdoor adventures for you or your family, but aren't quite sure where to get the most activities and best deal? Or would you like to add something new to your outdoor experience?
Boone County's Rivers n Ridges Community Adventure Group has put together its first annual "Rivers n Ridges" adventure weekend, set to begin on Saturday, Oct. 5.
"This is an exciting time in Boone County, West Virginia," said Bill Cook, managing member of the Rivers n Ridges Adventure Group and also the director of the Boone/Lincoln Campus of Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College. "We are inviting everyone to come to this event and see all of the wonderful outdoor adventures and activities offered in Boone County, West Virginia."
The weekend will feature ATV riding on the popular Hatfield-McCoy Trails, fishing, kayaking, rock climbing, hiking, mountain biking, archery, a 5K run/walk, a concealed weapons certification class, riverside yoga, a poker run, trap and skeet shooting, a concert and more.
"We have activities for children, adults, families and seniors," Cook added.
Cook will even host a Sunday school service on the riverbank on Sunday, Oct. 6.
Jeff Nelson, also a managing member of the Rivers n Ridges Adventure Group and director of the Boone Career and Technical Center, says he expects at least 2,000 people to attend the weekend event.
"There is so much to do and most of the activities are free or have a very small fee," he said. "The Hatfield-McCoy Trails are opening up the HMT downhill mountain biking, or the ATV poker run or ATV Dice run for just the cost of a $5 wristband. We are bringing in professionals, like Frank Addington and ACE Adventure, to bring adventure to Boone County."
Nelson said those attending will join many other families taking part in workshops presented by expert instructors providing basic hands on experience for a variety of topics including river fishing secrets, kayaking tips, archery gurus, rock climbing, shooting secrets, river fishing secrets, how to protect yourself and your property workshops and much, much more.
"There will be 1,000 pounds of trout in the Little Coal River," Nelson said. "It all begins Saturday, Oct. 5, at 8 a.m. at the entry way to Boone County at Pinnacle Rock, where you can see over 100 species of trees and float down a unique stretch of river that ties back into its self."
Boone County Economic Development Director Larry Lodato said this type of event is just what the county needs.
"This is a perfect example of economic diversification needed," he said. "This is why is has been supported by the Boone County Commission and so many other groups and businesses in the area. I hope it becomes an annual event."
The event will also offer business opportunities, like how to get enrolled in the local truck driving academy and how to get enrolled in the ATV industry, as well as the travel and tourism industries.
"We are hoping this event also opens the channels of economic development," Nelson added. "This event shows the positive aspects of Boone County. We want our young people to get addicted to adventure and this is a great weekend outdoor adventures event to get started."
The event is also sponsored or supported by Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College, Boone County Schools, and several local businesses, including Alpha Natural Resources, Boone Memorial Hospital, Cabelas, Suddenlink, Hatfield-McCoy Trails and others.
Check in for the event will be at the Waterways entrance at 628 Water Ways Drive in Julian. There will be limited parking at Waterways and Hatfield-McCoy trailhead building.
"You may use your own equipment in all events, however, there will be rental packages available as well," Nelson said. "Do not bring a weapon for the concealed weapons certification class as handgun demos will be provided."
Nelson says to bring a lawn chair, adventure equipment and an appetite.
"Breakfast, lunch and supper, along with interesting food items will be available for purchase from various vendors," he said. "Also a limited number of souvenirs will be offered for sale."
The heavy rain date for the event will be the following weekend, starting Saturday, Oct. 12.

When it comes to the American flag, there are very strict rules about how it can be displayed.
While flying the flag in your yard is great, wearing the flag on your clothing is frowned upon.
The U.S. flag should not be part of a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be attached to the uniforms of some government and patriotic organizations – such as military personnel and policemen.

Here's an example of using an Ant task to run native2ascii.
Put the following fragment in your <build><plugins> section.
This snippet will run native2ascii on all files named *.utf8, starting from /src/test/resources and downwards. Processed files will be named to their original names, without the .utf8 extension. So, if you have /src/test/resources/UIMessages_iw_IL.properties.utf8, running this snippet will result in an additional, escaped unicode file named /src/test/resources/UIMessages_iw_IL.properties . Run this snippet with mvn compile .

This won't work on Mac OS X, see http://maven.apache.org/general.html#tools-jar-dependency ... a better alternative is probably http://mojo.codehaus.org/native2ascii-maven-plugin/

JON CARDINELLI writes a depleted Springbok side cannot be expected to win in Dunedin and yet there's still much to be gained in terms of developing a new starting flyhalf.
The unavailability of key forwards as well as the inexperience of the likely starters and combinations suggests that Saturday's Test will be more about damage control than anything else.
Last week's forward performance against Australia was poor, and there's little chance that this week's showing will be much improved.
How can there be any expectation of a better performance in Dunedin? Injuries and suspensions have hit the Boks hard this week, and the pack that starts at the Forsyth Barr Stadium won't boast one established Test combination.
But let's back up a bit and consider what Heyneke Meyer had to work with at the start of the season.
Victor Matfield and Bakkies Botha were not available, and neither was jack of all trades Danie Rossouw. Andries Bekker was injured. Schalk Burger was crocked. Juan Smith had made a decision to give rugby a break for a year. It wasn't an ideal situation to start with, and has got worse as the season has progressed.
Bismarck du Plessis has been the biggest loss in recent weeks. Other players that have been injured include Coenie Oosthuizen, Pierre Spies, and Chiliboy Ralepelle while Ryan Kankowski has moved to Japan. The unavailability of this latter group has been a blow to the Boks' forward depth.
Then Eben Etzebeth went and got himself suspended with a mindless headbutt on Nathan Sharpe. Then Jannie du Plessis and Pat Cilliers succumbed to injuries in the most recent Test in Perth. Going into this week's clash in Dunedin, the Boks will be wanting for quality, synergy and experience in that starting pack.
In the past, there have been strong teams that have gone to New Zealand and been soundly beaten. What hope does this side have of succeeding where superior sides have failed?
A new front-row combination will start due to Jannie du Plessis's injury, and Etzebeth's suspension will also see a new face starting at lock.
Francois Louw is likely to start at openside flank given the challenge of the All Blacks' loose forwards, but that would see Meyer making a further change to the starting pack. And while I believe Louw can be highly effective in this role, he is only into his second week playing under Meyer and the new structures. Don't expect miracles from a new-look tight five, and don't expect dominance from men like Louw at the breakdown.
It's at times like these when some coaches will look to retain as many fit players as possible so as not to disrupt the team dynamic any further. It's been reported that Meyer will stick with the backline that started against the Wallabies last week. That would be a mistake.
What can Meyer gain from such selections? The changes up front will compromise the Boks' potential to play a more balanced game, and I'm sure they'll keep things as simple as possible. However, it would be interesting to see how a new flyhalf performs. It's a game the Boks are unlikely to win, and this may ease the pressure on less established flyhalf options like Pat Lambie and Johan Goosen.
Lambie shone in last year's Tri-Nations when he started at flyhalf against the All Blacks in Wellington. A rag-tag bunch of forwards were soundly beaten by their New Zealand counterparts, and still Lambie managed to impress.
Meyer sees Lambie as a fullback but it's at flyhalf where he can provide the Boks with more options in terms of attack and defence. He's played there for the Sharks this season with some success, exhibiting a skill set that includes taking the ball to the gainline, sending it through the hands when the wide strike is on, and playing his team into good field positions via a great tactical boot.
Goosen showed the same all-round skills when he featured for the Cheetahs in Super Rugby, and has been tipped as the future Bok flyhalf. Meyer could make a powerful statement by starting Goosen this Saturday, but if he truly believes that the experience would do the 20-year-old more harm than good, then Lambie should wear the No 10 jersey.
The Boks will struggle to keep the All Blacks at bay, but that doesn't mean that nothing can be gained from the fixture. Changes need to made, and replacing flyhalf Morné Steyn with somebody more equipped to meet the demands of a modern day 10 is a step that needs to be taken sooner rather than later.

Jim Henderson just made a pretty negative comment about Eric Gordon
Dude was pressing VERY HARD tonight and tried to play too much hero ball. That being said, I absolutely LOVE the fact that he came out and tried to be the hero. I'd rather someone try way to hard to win a game by himself than let himself not be the scapegoat for the loss (aka CP3 in his last season as a Hornet). Even though he played poorly and we lost tonight, Hornets fans should be THRILLED that this guy wanted to endear himself to us and wanted to be the hero. This is what I wanted to see from him personally.
Jim Henderson just made a pretty negative comment about Eric Gordon
Gordon was not looking to set up anyone besides himself tonight. He made a couple of early passes to Davis off the pick and after that it was shot forcing .
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
That brings a new spin to my attitude about him tonight. He definitely wasn't lackadaisical. But he didn't look to involve his teammates very much. I was gonna say how amazed I am that he expects the refs to call fouls for him when he plays hero ball and tries to go 1 on 3 down the lane every time. The refs looked at him like they didn't even know who he was. And they shouldn't after 11 games in two seasons.
Agreed, in his first home game he tried to hard. You could see it with his dribble.
Though lets not let his defense go unrecognized, he held Lou Williams who has been on a tear as of late to 9 points and 31% shooting.

Just a fist pump.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
The real problem isn't hero ball. It's his teammates just stand there. It's either pick and roll or watch Gordon. I was really disappointed with that.
2013 draft is horrid. Nothing worth tanking for unless we trade picks. Which I think we should do. Get rid of them for someone like Lowry. Future is bright but none of the players in the upcoming draft have enough talent to make a major impact
Sent from my RM-820_nam_att_100 using Board Express
it could just be rust but I mean his handle was terrible, he lost the ball out of bounce at least two or three times, got stripped a couple times (the one that stands out to me he didn't even try to chase the guy down at all, gordon jogged down the court while arguing with the ref as they went for an uncontested lay up), and he missed 3 out of 4 free throws, which shouldn't happen. All that being said I am so happy he played in the 2nd half and austin I can't do crap rivers sat, at least is a threat offensively
After what he did against Orlando, I'd bet coaches told him to be aggresive all the way to the rim and shoot more, anticipating the Hawks to play the passing lanes this game.
I still wish the Hornets ran an offense similar to what the Hawks run. They dont depend on 1 or 2 players for assists. The whole team moves and passes the ball.
also yea we didn't get any calls tonight, it sucks. I hate that about the nba, all of the benefit of the doubt calls go to the players who don't need it - the good ones who are good enough to manipulate the game to get the calls, a foul is a foul idc who you are
Once again the third quarter was the Hornets' undoing
"The greatest threat to the domination is the equality."
That said I was happy with his effort. Hopefully Monty can get a better grasp on steering this energy of his into an effective leadership role.
Who Lindsay lohan?
he was just trying to get back into the groove. hawks defended the P & R very well in the second half. they're a good team. missing that many free throws as a good shooter is a tell-tale sign it's just an off day. nothing different than the games when anderson's off and keeps shooting. I wouldn't see it as a concern

WASHINGTON -- The results of a large new study strongly suggest free birth control, a bitterly contested Obama administration policy, could have a significantly positive effect on women's health.
The project tracked more than 9,000 women in St. Louis, many of them poor or uninsured. The program led to dramatically lower rates of abortions and teen births.
When price wasn't an issue, women flocked to the most effective contraceptives -- the implanted options, which typically cost hundreds of dollars up-front to insert. The study reports these women experienced far fewer unintended pregnancies.
And the effect on teen pregnancy was striking: There were 6.3 births per 1,000 teenagers in the study. Compare that to a national rate of 34 births per 1,000 teens in 2010.
There also were substantially lower rates of abortion.
The study is in the journal, Obstetrics & Gynecology.

GRAHAM — County
Honeycutt is scheduled to present his proposed budget to the
Honeycutt said Friday the recommended property tax rate increase could be 2 or 3 cents, however, staff hasn't finalized what the recommendation might be.
"We are still working on it," Honeycutt said.
The county's current property tax is 52 cents per $100 of assessed value. In 2010, the
Commissioner Tim Sutton said Friday he wouldn't support a property tax increase and believes the county's finances should be run more efficiently.
Sutton also said the county's budget hinges on what
The projected revenues for 2013-14 total $123,366,494, while the budget requests total $131,906,974 for the period. The county's goal is not to use any of its fund balance to offset costs for the remainder of the current fiscal year and for next fiscal year, either.
If all expansion requests, including new capital and personnel requests, were rejected, then the county's budget deficit would be just $300,000 instead of $8.5 million for 2013-14.
Commissioner David Smith said he would prefer not to raise the property tax rate, but it could be necessary to meet budget needs.
"We may be at the point where we have to consider a property tax rate increase," Smith said.
Smith said if an increase were recommended he would want to see it offset by additional cuts made in the budget. Smith said he would also be willing to do more to improve county employees' salaries.
Smith said he would like to see pay increases for
Sheriff Terry Johnson requested on April 15 for the commissioners consider increasing his staff's pay because, he said, the department is losing employees to surrounding law enforcement agencies because they pay higher salaries.
Commissioner Linda Massey said Friday she too would like to see a pay raise for
Commissioner Tom Manning said he hasn't discussed the property tax rate increase issue with Honeycutt. Manning said he expects Honeycutt to present several budget scenarios to the commissioners on May 20.
Commissioner Bill Lashley was unavailable Friday for comment on the budget.

Two years ago I had an idea for a website. I decided to leave a well paying job, invest all of the money I made post college, and began to start the terrifying journey of building a company. Today, I want to share the ten most powerful things I learned about turning that idea into a business at a time when the economy was at its worst, and capital was scarce.

Most people start their first company while they still have a day job. It makes sense: You don't need loans. You don't need funding. And if you "fail," all you've lost is time.
But you've also placed yourself in a hazardous – potentially legally ambiguous – situation. If managed improperly, you're unnecessarily risking lawsuits and worse.

If you're thinking about entrepreneurship, you've probably heard that you should start your business before you quit your day job. It's good advise, but not always practical.
With the recession lifting, returning to normal (even if it's a new normal) will take some time. The economy is recovering, and business growth is beginning to resume.

I received a B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Cornell University in 2005, where I started my robotics work in Hod Lipson's lab. I went on to graduate from the Ph.D. program at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in 2011, where my advisors were Siddhartha Srinivasa and James Kuffner. While at CMU, I worked in the Personal Robotics Lab and completed interships at the Digital Human Research Center in Japan, Intel Labs in Pittsburgh, and LAAS-CNRS in France. In 2012 I completed a post-doc at UC Berkeley working with Ken Goldberg and Pieter Abbeel. In August 2012 I started as an Assistant Professor at WPI in the Robotics Engineering Program and Computer Science Department. I also founded the Autonomous Robotic Collaboration (ARC) Lab at WPI, which focuses on motion planning, manipulation, and human-robot collaboration.
My research focuses on creating algorithms that allow robots to interact with the world and collaborate efficiently with people. These general-purpose motion planning and manipulation algorithms can be applied to robots that work in homes, factories, and operating rooms. I am interested in all aspects of algorithm development; including creating efficient algorithms, proving their theoretical properties, validating them on real-world robots and problems, integrating them with sensing and higher-level reasoning, and distributing them to open-source communities. I draw on ideas in search, optimization, control theory, and topology to develop these planning algorithms and to prove their properties. I also seek to develop algorithms which can generalize to many types of practical tasks and application areas.

DAYTON, Ohio — This was going to be the season that the big, bad Wolfpack was back. This was supposed to be the return to glory for North Carolina State.
In the NCAA Tournament, part of it proved true.
The Wolfpack was bad — for too long.
The recovery — the version Friday afternoon — was good to keep television viewers and to hold out hope until the last two seconds, but not nearly enough to satisfy the lofty expectations or come close to reaching the level that had been all but promised.
The Wolfpack is gone, sent packing by Temple in a 76-72 minor upset that, for N.C. State, looked all too familiar.
Finished before Duke and before North Carolina and before Miami. Throw in the National Invitation Tournament, and excused before Virginia and Maryland, too.
"We try not to pay attention to all that stuff," junior guard Lorenzo Brown said. "That was our downfall this year. We didn't play as well as we should have."
In a season that often didn't make sense, N.C. State trailed by 18 points in the second half against ninth-seeded Temple and then was launching a potential tying shot with more than l½ minutes remaining.
Of course, it didn't go in.
"We just didn't get it done," forward C.J. Leslie said of the season. "It hasn't sunk in yet."
In the immediate aftermath, senior forward Richard Howell was the last N.C. State player to leave the University of Dayton Arena court, as the Wolfpack made a slow march into the offseason.
Then came yet another round of inquiries.
"There's no easy way to put it," senior swingman Scott Wood said. "It's pretty much over. … It's a lesson learned, especially for the people coming back."
That list of people won't include Howell or Wood. It might not include Brown and Leslie, who are juniors regularly mentioned in the same breath as the NBA Draft.
It was a depressing scene even though there have been hints for weeks that this wasn't coming all together.
Remember how much fun that was last year for the Wolfpack when it scooted past two opponents in the NCAA Tournament and set up all these could'ves, should'ves, would'ves that we've been dissecting for the past few months?
"We were a really talented team," Wood said. "We probably should have achieved more than we have. We feel like as a team we could do special things. At the end of the day, we didn't go out and do it."
Reminded that this group might be considered the core that helped turn the corner and put the Wolfpack in the NCAA Tournament for back-to-back seasons after five seasons without a coveted bid, it didn't register.
"This program doesn't just deserve to be here," Wood said. "It deserves to win championships."
Unfortunately for the Wolfpack, this team didn't deserve to win in Friday's tournament game, not after failing to adequately defend in the first half and coming up short down the stretch when the situation demanded something close to perfection.
The core of the team returned from last season and a few newcomers supplemented the roster. This was set up just right.
Then came a tie for fourth place in the Atlantic Coast Conference and an exit before the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament arrived.
"Definitely stunned," freshman guard Rodney Purvis said. "We definitely felt like we could do better in the postseason. It wasn't what I expected to be."
Second-year coach Mark Gottfried pointed to the 48 total victories and periodic appearances in the national rankings as signs of progress. Before his comment concluded, he joined the rest in assessing the common theme.
"We wanted to play a lot longer than one game in this tournament this year," he said. "We wanted to play a lot longer. We didn't. So that's disappointing, no question."
Brown said the Wolfpack was aiming for ACC championships and a national championship and all the things that come with such accomplishments. There is none.
"You can't be mad at anybody," Brown said. "You can't point fingers."
Instead, you can point to this team (and its 24-11 record) and wonder what went wrong. Why all these ingredients caused the kitchen to blow up before the feast.
"You have a team that had a good year but didn't have a great year," Gottfried said. "It was good, but not where I wanted it to be."
With that, you could almost hear a collective "amen" from the Wolfpack fan base.

This victory didn't mean anything else for Southwest coach Phil Padgett other than it helped the Stallions advance in the NCHSAA 1-AA playoffs.
Still, Padgett said the Stallions playing Ayden-Grifton again in the postseason motivated most of his players, and that showed in the Stallions' 41-20 victory over the Chargers on Friday night in the second round.
Ayden-Grifton beat Southwest 35-14 last year in the third round en route to a trip to the state final.
"For the kids it was motivation, but for me I don't take anything personal," Padgett said. "That's football and you are going to win some and lose some. Obviously you hate for the same team to knock you out of the playoffs for two years in a row. That's never a good thing.
"The kids took it a little more personal, but the good thing was that they knew it was going to be a good football team we played."
Early on, it looked as if it would be a competitive game. However, the Stallions scored 34 unanswered points between the second quarter and third quarter to pull away and advance to the third round.
Second-seeded Southwest (11-1) will host No. 3 Northampton (11-2) next week. Northampton beat No. 4 Goldsboro 34-27 on Friday night.
Ayden-Grifton (9-3) was the sixth seed.
"We lost at their house last year," Southwest junior Isaiah Corbins said. "We felt like we couldn't take two L's to them two years in a row."
Now the Stallions can continue focusing on trying to win a state title, something Ayden-Grifton coach Paul Cornwell said is possible for Southwest.
"They are better than we are," he said. "They are going to maybe make a run just like we did last year."
Corbins led the Stallions with 104 yards rushing on 8 carries, breaking through for a 71-yard touchdown that to put Southwest ahead 41-6 in the third quarter.
Senior quarterback Shak Pershey added 98 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns, including a 43-yard scoring run, while junior DaMonta Winbush added 60 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns to go along with a 58-yard touchdown pass to J'Veon Walker.
"We ran some big plays on them," Padgett said. "We had to run big-play type of chances because they were stacking the box."
Pershey gave the Chargers fits early with his bootleg runs. He set up an 18-yard touchdown run by Winbush on Southwest's first possession of the game with a 27-yard bootleg run to the Ayden-Grifton 26-yard-line on third and 11.
Pershey's 43-yard touchdown run also came on a bootleg scamper.
"Really, the line blocked and the backs carried their fakes, and that's what we practiced all week on," Pershey said. "After that first touchdown I scored, they started keying me with some of their ends. That opened some of the middle for the fullback and the running backs."
Pershey was also big on Southwest's first possession of the second half as he ran 16 yards on four carries to set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Winbush that gave the Stallions a 27-6 lead.
"That was a big momentum shift," Pershey said. "We needed a touchdown to go ahead and try to close out the game. We wanted to try to get them down where they wouldn't be able to answer."
Padgett said the coaching staff had been holding off on running Pershey to the outside throughout most of the season.
"We wanted to save it for a special occasion and if we needed it, we would go to it," he said. "I think once he started hurting them, they started to watch him a little bit more and it opened it up for other guys."
It sure did. The Stallions finished with 272 yards on the ground, averaging 7.7 yards per rushing play.
"I feel like when Shak pulled it out, there was more focus on that," Corbins said. "That allowed us more room to run through the holes. The line was blocking good and all the backs were hitting the holes hard."
But while Southwest didn't have many issues reaching the end zone with big plays, the same couldn't be said about the Chargers.
Twice Ayden-Grifton got inside the red zone in the second quarter, only to come away with field goals.
Trailing 7-3 early in the second quarter, the Chargers reached the Southwest 6, but lost four yards to the 10 on third and 4 and settled for a 27-yard field goal by Felipe Ramirez.
Then on Ayden-Grifton's next possession, the Chargers marched from their own 18 to the Stallions' 8 and appeared in position for a go-ahead touchdown.
However, a 7-yard run to the Southwest 1 by Tyree Blount was called back because of holding, placing the ball back at the 20. The Chargers settled for a 28-yard field goal by Ramirez to cut their deficit to 7-6.
"We had some opportunities early and we didn't finish," Cornwell said. "We got a team that was kind of up and down with that all year."
Ayden-Grifton got 2 touchdown runs from Rodney Nelson in the second half, but by then, Southwest already had a huge cushion. Nelson finished with 157 yards on 23 carries with most of his big gains coming late. He had 53 yards on 11 carries in the first half.
"Coach (Tommy) Barnes and coach (Dave) McLeod really worked together to get a defensive plan together," Padgett said. "We made some adjustments and we decided to move our safety a little bit more and let the linebackers stay inside more because they (Chargers) were hurting us off-tackle."

Consumer Personality and Coping: Testing Rival Theories of Process
2005, Journal of Consumer Psychology
Adam Duhachek, Dawn Iacobucci
This research examines the effect of consumer dispositions on the relationships between stress-related appraisals, consumption emotions, and the coping process. We comparatively tested rival models of these relationships. Our data show that the consumer personality traits of consumer assertiveness and marketing maven and the general personality trait of extraversion interact with cognitive appraisals to influence consumers' choice of coping strategies. The research contributes to existing knowledge of how these consumer personality traits motivate consumer behavior, and it enriches existing models of the relationship between personality influences and coping.

palivizumab - injection, Synagis
GENERIC NAME: PALIVIZUMAB - INJECTION (pal-ih-VYE-zyou-mab)
BRAND NAME(S): Synagis
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: Palivizumab is used in certain infants and young children to prevent infections of the breathing tubes and lungs that are caused by a certain virus (respiratory syncytial virus-RSV). It is known as a monoclonal antibody, and it works by preventing the growth of RSV. This medication is not used to treat RSV infection.
HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your doctor or pharmacist before your child starts receiving palivizumab and before each injection. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.This medication is given into the muscle by a health care professional, usually once a month during RSV season or as directed by your child's doctor. Dosage is based on your child's weight, medical condition, and response to treatment.For the most benefit from this drug, keep all scheduled medical appointments, and make sure your child receives each prescribed dose of this medication during RSV season. In the northern hemisphere, RSV season is usually November through April. Continue monthly injections even if your child has a RSV infection. Even if your child has been infected with RSV, he or she may become infected again.A certain heart surgery (coronary artery bypass graft-CABG) can decrease the effectiveness of palivizumab. If your child has this surgery, he or she should receive the next dose of this medication as soon as possible after the surgery, even if it has been less than 1 month since the last injection.

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
Read the latest crop reports from the fields across America! Also, submit your own comments.
What's happening in your fields? When will you start planting? Will your crop mix be the same as last year? Send us your photos and video! (Please keep your comments crop-related.)
Here's a sampling of what some folks are saying:
3/31 - Kiowa County Kansas: Fertilizer prices are very high. I have been checking a web site (www.mpxaplus.com) that looks promising to me. If your inputs are to high check out this web site.
3/31 - North Central Iowa: Normal corn planting date around here is usually April 23-May 5. Last 4-5 years has been earlier, as early as the 16th. Last year planted one field on the 23rd and the rest went in the first week of May. Last year all the fertilizer was on in the fall. This year very little was fall applied. We need a week of good weather soon to get the Nh3 down. We will plant without potash on most ground and just use starter for phosphorus this year. Cutting nitrogen 15-20 pounds also. At $3.25 cash new crop it will take 25 to 30 bu. just to pay the $95/ acre potash bill. I guess its time to go back to the old Marginal Cost Charts from micro econ class.
3/31 - Near North Dakota Highways 3 and 11: Cows on an island of hay waiting for a blizzard to hit near North Dakota Highways 3 and 11. Picture taken on March 23, 2009. Photo submitted by Lawson Jones of Webster, N.D. This was on the Grand Forks Heald Web Site.

(Have any photos of the crops on your farm? Send them to AgWeb and have them posted on Crop Comments! Be sure to include a caption.)
3/31 - Johnson County, Iowa: Did custom harvesting for my neighbor last fall, triple stack was the lowest yield. The next lowest was bt, and the regular out yielded them all. I think they should charge more for the triple stack.
3/30 - Northeast Arkansas: I don't think a lot of corn will be planted here. No planters hooked to tractors yet, and this is primetime planting season here. Of course it is really wet here, so planters would be just sitting out in the rain. As far as cost goes, probably seed and fertilize is scarring a lot of producers from corn, because it looks a lot like cotton. Cotton is like saying a four letter word in church, here.
3/30 - Ransom County, Southeast North Dakota: On Monday or Tuesday of this week the entire state of North Dakota was in a flood warning. I'm sure I have never seen that before. In Ransom County we have lost a number of roads due to culverts being washed out. The number is far greater than in 1997. The big difference between this year and 1997 is that in 1997 we went 8 days without electricity. It's unusual if we're not farming by Good Friday or April 15th but I can't imagine a scenario where we'll be in the fields for at least a month.
3/30 - South Central Nebraska: Just was wondering how many are thinking about not putting on any K and P this year and if you think it will work. Going to cut total N by about 20% and hope for the best. If we don't get the top 5 bushel and every farmer is like that maybe we will get our price back up. So milo is going in this year in place of the corn and beans. Have fun!!!
3/27 - Bremer County, Iowa: The highest price per acre this year is seed. Oddly enough, even with attention on fertilizer, seed @ $250-$300 per bag is the highest cost per unit. Followed closely behind is N in any form (nh3, 28%, or uera) the price per unit is high.
3/27 - Cass County, North Dakota: Northeast Kansas, I called 701-318-0690 and they sent out info on Azos test results from the last 5 years. It showed it works for raising protein on wheat also. Best of luck this season.
3/26 - Douglas County, Washington: We normally get about 80% of our moisture from the winter snows, this year we maybe received about 15% from the snows. What we did have was real dry powder, it went away in early Jan. We have had very little moisture since. Going to need a lot of spring showers, that we normally don't get to make up the difference. We went into the winter very dry also, could be along hot summer and very short crop this year.
3/26 - Northeast Kansas: Cass County, North Dakota, Could you please tell me where to buy azos? I am very interested in it's uses. What data did you utilize to help decide how, what, and where to use it? I am having trouble trying to find it in our area. Thanks.
3/26 - Fayette County, Northeast Iowa: I'm not sure if spring will be late or not. We had just a scant quarter inch of rain through this past front moving thru, and while not dry, we've missed several predicted moisture events the past couple of months. That either means that the weather forecasters are idiots or it's going to get really dry and I wouldn't want to bet on either. Like allot of producers, I am frustrated with fertilizer prices that should have gone down. The retailers are better at organizing than farmers, and I have heard that a major bank that finances co-ops threatened against retailers that started to drop prices although I don't know that for certain. I think a good growing season is in store and I think soybean prices will average in the 8.00-8.50 range and corn, 4.25 to 5.00, depending what is on USDA's crystal ball. Demand is still there, the end users are just putting off purchases until absolutely necessary. That's what I think, but what do I know, I'm just a dumb farmer.
-- Nueces County, South Texas
3/25 - Cass County, North Dakota: Once the water drains off, field work will be two weeks away assuming it doesn't rain or snow anymore, and the sun shines. (Yeah I know, 100% chance that won't happen) To help control my fertilizer costs I'm going to try this new bacteria that produces N for corn. Azo..something, but they say it can produce 20# of N for the crop.
3/25 - West Central Kansas: Checked crops in Scott, Wichita, Greeley and Kearny counties in the last week. Without rain soon, harvest will be questionable on many acres. Wheat is dying, brown areas ranging from a few feet across to several acres. Everyone says these spots are expanding. Experiment Station at Tribune lists total moisture for 2009 at 0.76 inches. Weather reporter for Scott City lists only 0.20 inches for 2009. Scott County has been presented as a drought disaster area by the Kansas Governor. Wheat has broke dormancy and cannot grow fast enough to tap the declining subsoil moisture. Last rain was end of September, over 6 months ago. Most wheat still has a good stand, but the drought clock is ticking faster with 60-80 degree days and winds gusting to 45 mph.
3/24 - Buena Vista County Iowa: Fertilizer prices still high $950 ton anhydrous. The local dealers made a mistake and bought fertilizer when prices were high. Now they want us to bail them out a buy their mistake. I told my salesman, I would buy it at those prices if they would take $6.00 corn I did not get sold to pay for it. I will eat my mistake but I will not eat theirs. Will just skip the P & K this year if prices do not come down.
3/23 - Northeast North Dakota, Devils Lake Basin: Not looking good here for any type of planting this spring. We had so much rain last fall and the snow kept piling on so much that this area may not dry out until June. Especially with the rain coming now and predictions of up to a foot of snow this week. Maybe next year.
3/23 - North Central Iowa: Getting our first spring rains this morning, heavy at times. The forecast is wet and cold for this week. There was very little fertilizer or NH3 applied last fall. How much corn we plant will depend on when we can get in and start to fertilize. When you look at April you generally get a short span of nice days in the first two weeks to get on some fertilizer. After that any good weather days better be devoted to corn planting. If we have to apply NH3 as we are planting it will slow down the whole process and limit corn acres. The coops also need a lot of time to get dry spread. They cannot be at everyone's field at the same time. If we can't get our dry spread in a timely manner we will plant without it and save the money.
-- Pam Smith, Farm Journal Seeds & Production Editor
3/19 - Massac County, Illinois: Most of the land I'll be planting is pretty good as far as ph and major nutrients - if I plant any corn at all, I will only use a little starter fertilizer. I may just go with all soybeans and not use any - there is too much risk. Time to take a little back from the soil, as I've spent a lifetime trying to build it up anyway.
3/18 - Stearns County, Minnesota: Planting corn where I have enough manure and soybeans where I don't. Might buy a small amount of 10-34-0 starter, say 3 gallons/acre for my corn, otherwise not using any commercial fertilizer. My P and K levels are good for my soybeans so I should be fine. Snow is almost all melted, standing water everywhere. Expect the frost to go out around April 5th, though a warm thunderstorm would help it go out even earlier.
3/17 - St. Clair County, Southwest Illinois: March has been a bit drier than normal, though I wouldn't classify our area as dry. However, with a few sunny days ahead and only limited chances for rain I expect to see some field work start mid-week. A bit a wheat around that needs top dressed and still a good deal of fertilizer to be spread. I've seen a few NH3 toolbars out of the sheds as well. Most growers I know are planning a near 50/50 rotation with some thinking about maybe 60% corn. We may see some mild changes in that, but it just seems that no matter what the talk, when the planters roll we see a lot of 50/50 rotation around here. Fertilizer prices at the coop level running in the 400-450 range for DAP, 800-850 for Pot and 600-700 for NH3, depending on who you talk to. In general most think prices are probably about as low as we'll see for the next couple months.
3/16 - Northeast Arkansas: I don't think I have ever talked to so many farmers that haven't got a clue on what to plant yet.
3/13 - West Central Texas: RAIN – 3-4" across the area. Too late for wheat as we only had 1" since August. Lifesaver for all the cow-calf guys. Failed wheat acres will either go to sorghum, feed, or may just be fallowed. Too far west for corn here, and cotton won't work either.
-- Jacob Faist, Faist Farms, Inc.
3/12 - South Central North Dakota: We are undecided what to plant. Today's report doesn't help matters. We received 12" of snow the last 2 days along with 40 MPH winds, snow is piled up where it doesn't belong. Calving is a nightmare with the temps at -20 and the winds blowing. This morning we had 6 calves born in the barn and every calf had frozen ears. Spring will be very late here. The roads are blocked, soon load limits will be in effect.
3/11 - Linn County, Iowa: 3+ in rain in 3 days. Having calves. Trying to feed cattle. Lots of frost still in the ground. "How's the weather"? It sucks.
-- Lincoln County, Harrington, Washington
3/10 - Fayette County, Pennsylvania: No-till drilled 20 acres of grass, alfalfa and clover seed with oats on Saturday for my neighbor. Field conditions were perfect at least for us. The other neighbors say we were jumping the gun, I say that we were just prepared. Few guys spreading potash, and lime is being spread daily.
3/9 - Dodge County, Minnesota: This is my first year in MN, and I have never seen a spring that has been so wet; water standing in fields, and running out of tile lines. This is not my first dealing with mud and rain. Last year I had to deal with June floods of Southwest Wisconsin. All of this weather is just holding off people to get plans in place for spring. I have read that 40% of farmers don't have any final plans, and up to a million acre swing in planting intentions. If things are turn out like last year, I don't know what could happen to the final corn numbers. God Bless for a little relief of the wet, muddy conditions. Hope the planters start rolling soon.
3/6 - Howard County, Texas: Dryland wheat has been taken out with 90 degree temps and 45 mph wind. Bring on the insurance, this crop of wheat is finished. Irrigated wheat is growing at warp speed. Field work started for the cotton crop. This is the slowest start in my 35 years of farming in my area. Just not any excitement for a loan price crop. The cattle feedlots around here are losing $100 per head.
3/5 - Lincoln County, Washington: Wheat was very spotty last fall due to persisting drought. Aortic blast in Dec. didn't help things but the snow we received a week after that persists from here to the north of the county. Snow mold is a real possibility at this point. Most of the snow to the south melted in a day or so with plenty of erosion in some areas. To the north we have been spared so far, depending on whether the farmers were using good or bad farming practices. Around the area some of the wheat looks pretty good, some not so good. Time will tell.
3/4 - Jackson County, Michigan: The snow is pretty much gone and many farmers are starting to think about putting some urea on the wheat before the ground gets too soft. It seems like everyone around here is going to plant more soybeans this year than last. Our farm on the other hand is planning on planting very few beans and concentrating mostly on corn. Also many people have gotten out and seeded clover in the wheat fields already. The tiles are sure running lately; we have gotten a lot of water this winter and many low spots are flooded. Most of the wheat looks good up here and I hope were done with snow so we can get in the field sometime in the next three to four weeks and finish up any tillage that we couldn't get done in the fall.
3/4 - Charles Mix County, Southeastern South Dakota: We have been to Texas via Hwy 281, wheat looks tough in western Nebraska, Colorado, western Kansas, western Oklahoma, and western Texas. We came home on I35 and same poor look in all states, yet wheat price keeps inching down, where is their a good crop? Unless weather changes, we will be tearing ours out for corn and beans. She looks like the toughest year in the last 25.
-- Pam Smith, Farm Journal Seeds & Production Editor
(Photo from spring 2008. Send us your photos of spring.)
3/3 - South Texas: Most of the corn is planted in the Lower Rio Grande Valley irrigated) Grain sorghum at probably 60% planted. Cotton will start going in next week. All the dryland is very dry on top with some moisture deep, not a significant rain since October '08. Some dryland planted to grain looks like ground was rebedded. It's going to be a tough year getting our crop up and growing.
-- Mike Escue, Lauderdale County, Tennessee
3/2 - Northeast Arkansas: Topdressed wheat with urea $400/ton. Land leveling with $1.75/gal fuel. Soybean seed $45/unit. Corn seed $175/unit. Cotton seed $400/unit. Finished signup at FSA office...priceless!!!!!
