April has been an unusually cold month this year with three separate freezes, on the 9th, 10th and 23rd through 24th.
April has been an unusually cold month this year with three separate freezes, on the 9th, 10th and 23rd through 24th.
"The freezes on the 9th and 10th were both very cold," Bryan Boroughs, a technical support agronomist from Servi-Tech said. "Temperatures fell into the mid teens. The freeze on the 24th was also cold, with temps falling into the mid 20's."
It's clear that the wheat crop in western Kansas has suffered, but the extent is still unknown.
"There are very few things that definite," Boroughs said, "but we're evaluating the situation very carefully week by week to see how to move forward."
Boroughs said that the extent of the damaged crop depends on when the wheat was planted. If it was planted on time, and had matured to the point where tillers were out, then the damage is probably pretty severe. If the wheat was planted later, and not as mature, there is a chance it will be fine.
"I've seen a lot of damaged wheat," Boroughs said, who services the area from Dodge City to Garden City and south. "But not 100 percent anywhere, so that's good news."
According to Boroughs, wheat planted on irrigated versus dryland will also effect the damage done to the crop. Irrigated wheat will probably suffer more damage from the freeze.
Boroughs also said that while the freeze was damaging, the ongoing drought will also be a factor in wheat production.
"The drought is just as important of a factor in the wheat crop as the freeze," Boroughs said, "but it seems like media are just focusing on the freeze."
Part of Boroughs's job is to monitor the moisture levels in soil, and he said that because of the ongoing drought, wheat is running out of stored profile moisture, which can also do significant damage.
According to a press release from K-State Research and Extension, smaller wheat that wasn't as badly damaged by the freeze will need a lot of moisture to produce much grain.
Moving on from the freeze farmers must decide if they want to wait and see if their wheat crop will make it, or if they should try to plant a secondary crop.
"The freeze will definitely have an impact on the western Kansas wheat production, but we just can't say how much at this time," Boroughs said.
Economically, there will also be an impact, and as Boroughs reiterated the drought has already had an impact.
"We're expecting lower yields this season," Boroughs said, but we're not sure how much."

Hi everyone,
I am trying to get some code running in my compute shader (#version 430 core, running under Windows 7, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660) but it always crashes.
The exact same code runs fine when I execute it in a fragment shader.
I started commenting out parts of the code to find the solution to the problem.
It seems like the compute shader always crashes when I reapply some of my dynamic branching.
Does anyone know if the branching really could be the problem (hardware limitations, etc) and, if yes, how I can overcome that problem. Are there some clever hacks because I can't get rid of any branches.
Also, the branching happens in a for-loop which runs in a while loop.
Thanks a lot

January-March 2014
At the end of 2013, HIV prevention efforts in sub-Saharan Africa very likely passed a critical milestone -- more than 5 million adult voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) procedures conducted since 2007. This is a quarter of the 20 million procedures that epidemiologists and modelers say are needed to maximize the impact of the strategy on HIV incidence in sub-Saharan Africa. A substantial percentage of these procedures were conducted in the past 12 months as the pace of scale-up has soared in virtually every country that's been identified as a priority for this intervention. While there is still much ground to cover, this progress is welcome. Unfortunately, there may not be a full public announcement of this milestone for some months, or perhaps not until the end of 2014.
Such an announcement would come from the World Health Organization (WHO), which tracks the numbers of procedures performed worldwide. It typically releases a global tally about 12 months after the year in question. For example, on World AIDS Day 2013, WHO released figures through the end of 2012. PEPFAR, which currently funds the majority of VMMC procedures worldwide, also collects and releases data, but its sources and schedule differ from WHO (see table). The PEPFAR data are more current but less comprehensive, which is why it's possible to estimate that the global total has passed five million. PEPFAR-funded implementers alone conducted a cumulative total of 4.7 million procedures by the end of 2013 -- meeting the target that Obama set in his 2011 World AIDS Day address. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation also funds VMMC programs in some key countries (and collects data from its grantees as well). Factoring in BMGF-supported programs as well as those funded by national governments -- particularly South Africa -- the progress has been tremendous and, according to modelers, is already preventing thousands of new HIV infections.
Tracking and celebrating this progress can help raise the profile of a powerful prevention strategy that still needs high visibility support from heads of state, influential policy makers and advocates. It's time to improve the tracking systems and ensure more regular reporting of global and country-level totals. All countries implementing VMMC are tracking numbers at a national level. National VMMC Task Forces or Ministries of Health should submit numbers to the WHO biannually or perhaps even quarterly, and the WHO should strive to provide biannual updates on national and global totals based on this information. Such improved reporting will ensure that momentum is both recognized and accelerated.

Story posted April 28, 2008
Sometimes one question unleashes a volume. In this case, a student in Anthony Walton's Telling Environmental Stories class got to ask it of one of the country's leading environmental journalists, Amanda Griscom Little, who was a guest in the class for a day.
"What are the strategies you use to approach an interview?" asked a young man seated across from her in the seminar room. "I mean, how do you direct the conversation? Do you kind of let it unfold?" Having recently interviewed all 2008 presidential candidates about their energy and environmental platforms, Little's eye lit up: "You want to go in and just get them to lay all their ideas out on the table and give them the chance to breathe freely and listen respectfully. And then maybe agree to disagree, you know? "Whether I'm talking to Hillary Clinton, Rupert Murdoch or ... to H. Lee Scott of Walmart, instead of going in there with my [environmental] cudgel raised, going in and actually asking questions and listening. Coming in with an open mind and letting them feel understood, is crucial to the art of interviewing. And then you have the upper hand. You can throw in some curve balls. "You just want them to be off their guard a little bit, because then you'll get something fresh and new."
It was exactly the kind of interchange Bowdoin Writer-in-Residence Walton had in mind when he invited Little—a Grist.org columnist and regular contributor to The New York Times, The Nation and Rolling Stone —to share her notes from the field with his students. All of whom were knee-deep in research of their own. Walton's fall 2007 course combined study of environmental literature with development of the students' original environmental narratives, which they critiqued with each other in a writer's workshop format. He encouraged the student writers to use human experience, perhaps even their own, as a lens for examining environmental issues and concerns. All of this in service of Walton's belief that storytelling is a fundamental way through which people connect. And if students are committed to communicating their passion for environmental policy and action, he said, "they must make those stories themselves equal to the task. "It is my belief that there are compelling issues that need to be discussed at this time in our society," he continued, "and one of the ways of entering that discussion is by telling stories that allow people from different disciplines and walks of life to understand and communicate with each other-a lawyer, say, and a geologist might have very different frames through which they would tend to view the world, but they will each tend to respond to a well-told tale that has human interest and something at stake." Too often, observed Little, who spoke to Walton's class before delivering Bowdoin's Tom Cassidy Lecture in Journalism later in the evening, environmental journalists offer a "shrill, moralistic approach to stories."
"Basically, reading environmental reporting is like eating your vegetables boiled with no butter, no salt," said Little, to the amusement of the class. "It's like this bland, predictable experience. And part of it is there's such an expectation of what you're going to hear from your average environmentalist ... which is, bad guys-good guys; polluters are bad ... It's this very purist, preachy approach, which frankly makes it boring to read. That binary good and bad paradigm is shifting, so that a lot of the stories today are about looking at environmental tradeoffs," added Little. "Look at Walmart," she said by way of example. "There are elements of what Walmart is doing to become more sustainable that are good. They are saying, we will be purveyors of affordable green products ... for less. We'll be the democratizing force for the environmental movement. It's a great marketing scheme. But there are elements that are really problematic: Walmart's social issues, its relationship to unions. And, my gosh, the environmental problems of having these massive big box stores that are covering the ground in asphalt." So, as a writer faced with these kinds of complexities, how would she begin to write a compelling truth? "It's very helpful to have a very targeted question that you are asking" said Little. "Will it work to create a hybrid truck fleet at Walmart? Instead of, can Walmart go green? The small example becomes a way in for the larger question. That is the most helpful for me as a reporter. Biting off one chunk at a time." Walton helped students develop their own chops by giving them a taste of other environmental storytellers, among them Rachel Carson and Elizabeth Colbert (the latter, author of the bestselling Field Notes From a Catastrophe). One of the models he used for creating compelling narratives was Al Gore's movie, "An Inconvenient Truth." "Look at what he's been able to do with that movie," said Walton. "If you step back and look at it as a piece of rhetoric you can see how he tells a story that becomes an artifact in the world. He was able to communicate a very important issue that needs to be discussed —no matter your final point of view." This course was an outgrowth of conversations Walton had with Bowdoin faculty members in several disciplines, including environmental studies, all of whom were interested in deepening the College's offerings in writing-centered classes for science students. Although the class included several humanities students as well, Walton said it allowed him to "work with a group of students I might not otherwise meet—science and social science majors, pre-meds, a whole different side of the campus for me.
"There are some amazingly talented writers among those students, and they have an enormous amount of passion," he said. "It was interesting and fun to listen to them talk and argue with each other; by the time we got around the table with this group, we'd heard the view from disciplines as varied as biology, women's studies, and English." Walton says he sees an acute and growing sense of environmental awareness among Bowdoin students—and this generation as a whole—and says he hopes to help them channel their concern into action. "These are kids who are already good at something, who have a deep feeling for the world and our society, and now want to learn something that will help them take that ability and knowledge to another level of engagement. I have never been prouder of a group of students at Bowdoin." Read a selection of student narratives.
"Reading environmental reporting is like eating your vegetables boiled with no butter ... It's this very purist, preachy approach, which frankly makes it boring to read."
— Amanda Griscom Little

Ca. Atty. Gen. Brown To Sue EPA For Failing To Regulate Ship, Aircraft And Industrial Emissions
LOS ANGELES--California Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. today announced California's plan to sue the U.S. EPA for continuing to "wantonly ignore its duty" to regulate greenhouse gas pollution from ships, aircraft, and construction and agricultural equipment.
"Ships, aircraft and industrial equipment burn huge quantities of fossil fuel and cause massive greenhouse gas pollution yet President Bush stalls with one bureaucratic dodge after another," Attorney General Brown said. "Because Bush's Environmental Protection Agency continues to wantonly ignore its duty to regulate pollution, California is forced to seek judicial action."
Under federal law and the landmark Supreme Court decision Massachusetts v. EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency is authorized to regulate greenhouse gases from a wide range of vehicles including ocean-going vessels, aircraft and agricultural, construction and industrial equipment. Invoking such authority, Attorney General Brown formally petitioned the EPA--in October 2007, December 2007 and January 2008--to initiate appropriate regulatory action.
In the face of Brown's petitions, the EPA has done nothing but issue a pathetically weak "Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking" on July 11, 2008. The EPA's proposal contains hundreds of pages of discussion and facts but never once states that greenhouse gases endanger public health or welfare--the legal foundation for fashioning regulations. Brown said that ignoring California's petitions violates the Clean Air Act which requires the agency to adopt standards for greenhouse gases.
Under the Clean Air Act, EPA is given 180 days to respond with appropriate regulation action. If the agency does not issue timely regulations for aircraft, ocean-going vessels and nonroad engines, California can and will sue the federal government for unreasonable delay. The lawsuit will be based on the following:
* EPA's failure to make explicit findings that industrial equipment, ships and aircraft emit greenhouse gas pollution that endangers public health or welfare
* EPA's failure to adopt timely regulations to control such emissions
President Bush blocked EPA's original plan to make a formal finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health or welfare. Recently, congressional investigations have found that White House staff signed off on EPA's "endangerment finding" in November 2007. Subsequently, White House officials told EPA to cancel the finding.
"If President Bush was serious about America's dangerous and growing foreign oil dependency, he would forthwith direct EPA to do its job and regulate greenhouse gases," Attorney General Brown said.
Nonroad engines, ships and aircrafts emit as much greenhouse gases as 270 million cars, more than the entire number of registered vehicles in the United States. The following background information details the massive energy consumption and negative environmental effects of ocean-going vessels, aircraft and nonroad engines.
The world's relatively small fleet of large ocean-going vessels, about 90,000, emits approximately three percent of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions. Ocean-going vessels in total emit more CO2 emissions than any nation in the world except the U.S., Russia, China, Japan, India and Germany. These emissions are projected to increase nearly 75 percent during the next 20 years.
EPA's own recent proposal states that marine vessels that purchased fuel in the U.S. emitted 84.2 million metric tons of CO2 in 2006, or 3.9 percent of the total U.S. mobile source CO2 emissions.
The United Nations International Maritime Organization has authority under international treaties to establish pollution standards for vessels but has to date failed to adopt controls on greenhouse gas emissions. The IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee recently planned to inventory greenhouse gases by 2009 but made no commitment to regulate such emissions. Attorney General Brown says that ocean-going vessels have a right to innocent passage under international law but that right does not include polluting the air or water near in California.
According EPA data, aircraft contributed three percent of the United States' total carbon dioxide emissions and 12 percent of the transportation sector emissions in 2005. The Federal Aviation Administration expects domestic aircraft emissions to increase 60 percent by 2025.
Aviation's contribution to global warming is greater than other major greenhouse gas emission sources because aircraft release emissions at high altitudes. For example, when nitrous oxide is emitted at high altitudes it generates greater concentrations of ozone than when it is released at ground-level. Brown says that because aviation injects greenhouse gas pollution at high altitudes—right where these emissions have a heightened negative impact—the EPA must take action to curb these emissions.
There are currently no greenhouse gas emissions controls on aircraft and only limited controls for some conventional pollutants such as carbon monoxide. Last year, the International Civil Aviation Organization, a United Nations agency, passed a resolution to set international emissions reduction agreements but the organization has taken no additional action to further this goal.
Millions of industrial machines in mines, on farms, and at construction emitted 220 million tons of carbon dioxide in 2007—an amount equivalent to the emissions from 40 million cars. Mining and construction equipment accounted for 32 percent of these emissions, followed by agricultural and industrial equipment. According to the California Air Resources Board, there are approximately 17.8 million of these machines and engines in California.
The EPA has refused to regulate emissions from nonroad engines, aircraft and ocean-going vessels despite unassailable evidence of global warming and dangerous foreign oil dependency. Last week the U.S. Climate Change Science Program's issued a report on global warming's devastating effects which include more frequent and intense hurricanes, heat waves, and flooding. In California, where hydropower comprises approximately 15 percent of in-state energy production, diminishing snowmelt flowing through dams will decrease the potential for hydropower production by up to 30 percent by the end of the century.
Other states, local governments and agencies which joined California today in warning the EPA of an impending lawsuit include Connecticut, Oregon, New York City, the California Air Resources Board and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. National environmental groups filing similar petitions include Earthjustice and the Western Environmental Law Center.
California's notice of intent to sue the EPA is attached.

In the vice-versa case, ITC staff sided with Nokia (i.e., Nokia does not violate Apple's patents either).

Extreme ironing is a sport. It involves people ironing clothes, sheets, handkerchiefs and other materials while doing an extreme sport (a difficult outdoor activity, usually something dangerous). For example, a person might iron a shirt while rock climbing, mountain biking or hanging off the back of a taxi. People who do extreme ironing are known as extreme ironers, extreme ironists or just ironists. There are extreme ironing competitions.An extreme ironing web site can be found at www.extremeironing.com

At the height of the absurdist antics surrounding Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's descent into infamy, a reporter inquired as to whether he considered his behavior appropriate for the mayor of a major North American city. Tellingly Ford responded, "I don't look at myself as the mayor. I look at myself as a normal, regular person." Reasonable people can certainly disagree as to whether Ford's activities meet the standard of a "normal regular" person, but something much more significant lies beneath this attempted defense of the mayor's actions.
To Ford being the leader of his city imposed upon him no particular obligations or behavioral standards. The idea, resonant in Jewish sources, that a leader is a dugma, a role model, was apparently anathema to him. One can certainly understand why. Even relative paragons of ethical virtue often resent the unwelcome scrutiny that accompanies leadership. Being a leader already involves a great deal of stress and responsibility. Superimposing an expectation of moral virtue seems unfair and onerous.
Yet without apology, in Judaism, leadership brings with it an expectation of heightened scrutiny and the expectation of an exemplary ethical standard. However unfairly, communal leaders must understand that their actions are placed under a microscope, precisely because they are leaders. The story is told of Aryeh Leib Sarahs (1730-1791), a hasid (disciple) of the great master, the Maggid of Mezhirech. Said Aryeh Leib famously, "I did not go to the maggid to learn Torah from him, but to watch him tie his boot laces." In other words, justly or not, followers analyze even the most mundane and seemingly innocuous acts of a leader in order to extrapolate every possible nuance and lesson.
Burdensome as it surely is, to be a leader is to stand naked and vulnerable before one's followers, a lesson the Toronto mayor never seemed to learn. The fact that leaders are held to a higher ethical standard than Rob Ford's "normal regular" persons may seem unreasonable, but savvy leaders never forget they are always being observed. "Your employees are talking about you at the dinner table, listening to what you say, measuring how closely your words square with your deeds," cautioned Craig Wasserman and Doug Katz in their 2011 book, The Invisible Spotlight.
When you are a leader others pay careful attention to even your smallest actions. This lesson was driven home to Anne Mulcahy when she became CEO of Xerox. Reflecting on her experiences in a 2010 interview with the Harvard Business Review, Mulcahy noted, "Everybody is looking at you. You can destroy someone by showing your emotions, particularly negative ones … If you come into the office looking like you're having a very bad day, everyone reacts to your mood. As chief executive, you have to consciously set the right tone … CEOs have to manage those unintended displays, because of how much impact they have on other people."
Mulcahy understood what so many great leaders have come to know. Notwithstanding Mayor Ford's assertion to the contrary, leaders can never be "normal regular" people. By virtue of being leaders they carry additional responsibilities in all that they do. This message is powerfully illuminated in Moses Maimonides' commentary on one of the Torah's most controversial episodes. The Book of Numbers (27:12-18) describes God's harsh decision to deny Moses entry into the Land of Israel. The text explains that this stems from an earlier episode in which Moses lost his temper in frustration and failed to follow divine instructions to the letter. It is difficult to read this account without feeling that Moses was punished unjustly. However mistaken his actions might have been, the severity of his fate seems excessive.
Yet, in his explication of the incident, Maimonides argues that, "God was strict with him … because they [the people] all modeled their actions upon his and studied his every word … Everything Moses said and did was scrutinized by them" (Shemoneh Perakim). Whether one finds Maimonides' explanation satisfying or not, he understood something essential about effective leadership: no leader can expect to be just a regular person. This is true whether one is the mayor of a major city or the president of a synagogue, a communal professional or a corporate executive. If the expectation of excellence and the attendant scrutiny that accompanies leadership is unwelcome, one should give serious consideration to another endeavor.

Here, following, are several Padres-related articles I've written in recent weeks: Why Giants fans owe Padres fans a gift or two; the benefits and challenges of an "extreme pitcher's" ballpark (hint: this one's in San Francisco, where the fences aren't being moved in); what course to set regarding Chase Headley; an AL exec's interpretation of what awaits Carlos Quentin; new ownership's embrace of Josh Byrnes; and a reminder that boring Old Petco was good to the Padres, at least on the field.

Authorities still have no motive in the killing of Navy sniper Chris Kyle, but most signs seem to point the post-traumatic stress disorder as a possible culprit. Iraq war veteran Eddie Routh was charged with two counts of murder after shooting Kyle and his friend, Chris Littlefield, on Saturday. He also faces one extra count of capital murder, though those formal charges could be added to or amended later. Kyle wasreportedly mentoring Routh as part of his regular charity work helping veterans cope with life after returning from activity. The FITCO Cares Foundation was co-founded by Kyle after his retirement from the Navy, specifically to help those suffering from PTSD. A spokesperson for the foundation said, "Chris died doing what he filled his heart with passion -- serving soldiers struggling with the fight to overcome PTSD."
Despite being another high-profile shooting at a time when Americans have become focused on preventing gun violence, the story has instead become about the sad plight of veterans who have come back from war with serious mental health issues.

My older daughter, the Diva, has a highly-developed sense of social justice, so it was no surprise to me when she got involved in the Occupy Wall Street movement. She hasn't wholeheartedly fallen in with the movement – she has questions about what they're accomplishing – but as a kid growing up in an enormous city, she's certainly witnessed her share of economic unfairness, and it has touched her.
She is not demonstrating today because she has classes – political science, mostly, in which she's highly engaged; I'm pleased that she's prioritizing learning over marching at this point in her life. But there are plenty of people on the streets – both demonstrators and law enforcement – who are learning in a different way. Given the already-aggressive tactics of the NYPD and FBI, I'm not so sure how much of this learning is actually going to get processed.
I come down pretty hard in the Occupy camp just because experience has made it clear to me that our social system is designed to prop up the privileged, and keep them privileged at the expense of everybody else. I don't agree with some of the rhetoric and violence and clownish behavior (it's safe to say there are generally thugs on all sides of any argument and they're not limited to police), and I'm skeptical of anarchism and other extremisms – but Occupy came out of some seriously critical thinking, and has made it plain (to those who don't have the time or inclination to engage in critical thinking) just what is at stake.
All of which is to say, be careful out there. And if you're inside, pay attention – everyone out on the streets today is representing. It's the least we can do.

Choosing and using this must-have measuring and layout tool.
By Robert W. Lang
Pages: 52-55
From the June 2011 issue #190
Buy this issue now
In 1878, Laroy S. Starrett designed and patented the combination square. His invention was a multipurpose
layout and measuring tool for machinists and it was rapidly adopted in the trade.
Woodworking books of the period don't mention this tool. After all, the try square and marking gauge were common and effective, so it took a while for the transition from machine shop to cabinetshop. Today, most woodworkers own a combination square, but few know all of its uses, and many try to get by with inferior versions.

Today's Meditation
The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will restore the fortunes of my people . . . and I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their ancestors.
-Jeremiah 30:3 (NRSV)
As a doctor, I was able to be a part of a medical team that was sent to an area devastated by an earthquake. Many lives had been lost and buildings destroyed.
Our relief team went to different villages talking to people who had survived, consoling them and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ wherever opportunity arose. Gradually, as our team carried out the relief work, I could see God at work. The victims of the earthquake had realized they had no security in worldly possessions. Yet they were looking for purpose in life after losing much -- even some of their loved ones. Because the disaster had opened doors for us to share God's love with the people in a practical way, bringing both physical and spiritual healing, the people began to turn to God.
Something similar happened when Jeremiah prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem and exile to Babylon. For God's people, that was not good news. Yet Jeremiah also prophesied later that God would bring restoration. Jeremiah saw something positive in the midst of destruction -- God renewing the covenant. And God still does that for us.
Ajit Barkataki
(Maharashtra, India)
Prayer: Lord, help us to see your presence and to hope in every dark situation. Amen.
Thought for the Day: God can use even tragic situations and circumstances for divine purposes.

William H. Spurgeon Award
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
|William H. Spurgeon award
William H Spurgeon Award Knot
The William H. Spurgeon Award award is the highest recognition presented to adult Exploring leaders, businesses, and organizations at both the local and national level for service in support of the Exploring program.
The Spurgeon Award was developed in honor of a leader in the development of Exploring, William H Spurgeon III. Spurgeon organized many special interest posts in the 1960s. He served as a member of the National Council Executive Board and National Exploring Committee. His efforts led to the present Exploring program. He devoted much of the late 1960s to promoting Exploring and is particularly remembered as a dynamic speaker for Exploring Impact Plan luncheons across America. Spurgeon passed away in 1970.
Nomination Procedure
The award is designed for council use to recognize individuals or organizations contributing significant leadership to the Exploring program. The award is also presented regionally and nationally. Each council may determine the criteria and procedure for granting the award; therefore, each council develops its own nomination form. Candidates for this award must be nominated.
The council may present the Spurgeon Award to men and women who have rendered outstanding leadership to the Exploring program either as an Explorer Post adult leader or as a district, division, or council Exploring adult volunteer.
The council may present the Spurgeon Award to schools, businesses, industries, labor unions, governmental agencies, civic clubs, fraternal groups, and other community organizations that have demonstrated an outstanding record of providing significant leadership to the Exploring program.
Only holders of individual awards may wear the knot (not officers or employees of a firm that received the award).
Candidates for this award must be nominated.

CONCORD, N.C. — Ryan Reed will have a much better holiday season this year than two years ago when he wondered whether, at age 18, if he would ever race again.
It was during 2011 that Reed, who had driven in some K&N Pro Series East races and was working on building his racing resume (which started at age 4), began losing weight, was thirsty all the time and had to go to the bathroom frequently.
He did what every 17-year-old would do; he Googled his symptoms. He saw diabetes was the likely reason.
"I didn't want to believe that," Reed said.
So he tried to ignore the problem. His father dragged him to the doctor about two weeks later.
"They diagnosed me on the spot with diabetes," he said.
They—the doctors—also told him he wouldn't race again with Type 1 diabetes.
"There are so many challenges—how do you control blood sugar, what if you go on a low or what if you go on a high," Reed said.
Reed was ready to meet those challenges even if his doctors initially were skeptical. He became a patient of the same doctor who treats IndyCar driver Charlie Kimball, who also has Type 1 diabetes.
Now 20, Reed is preparing for his first full Nationwide Series season. He has brought to Roush Fenway Racing sponsorship from Eli Lilly through the American Diabetes Association Drive to Stop Diabetes campaign.
In six races with the team in 2013, Reed had a ninth-place finish at Richmond and only one finish worse than 16th.
"He's an exciting young driver with a great feel for the car," team owner Jack Roush said. "He's a highly motivated competitor. … He's mature beyond his age and experience."
Roush didn't need to see Reed race to know he's motivated. Just seeing what he has had to do to get back in a racecar was enough.
With a hair-thin wire that goes into his stomach and connects to a sensor that is taped to his body, Reed has his blood sugar monitored continually throughout a race and displayed on his dashboard.
If he ever were to have a problem, crew members are trained to give him an insulin injection. So far, he has never had to be injected during a race as he uses diet and workout to make sure he is in good shape and has a high-sugar blend in his driver hydration system. He said during a Nationwide race, his blood sugar starts at 120 and ends around 200.
"There is always a chance of something happening and that is why we have the safety nets," Reed said. "We'd be doing the whole diabetes community a disservice to go out there and have a problem inside the racecar. We take it very seriously."
Reed, a Bakersfield (Calif.) native, is believed to be the first full-time NASCAR national series driver with Type 1 diabetes.
"It's amazing to come from being told I would never drive a racecar ever again to being in this position," Reed said. "It's just a humbling experience. … How does it get any better than that?"

No question, Tim Lincecum and Barry Zito had a lot to do with it, but the Mets' offense has been in a funk before coming to San Francisco.
The Mets, on a 1-5 slide, have scored just six runs in that span and hit a composite .222. They've been shut out three times, including the first two games of this series.
It won't get any easier tonight against Matt Cain. They will be trying to avoid being shut out in three straight games for the first time since July 25-27, 1992.

This bonnet belonged to a Jewish woman who migrated from the village of Nowy Dwor in Poland to Wales in the late 19th or early 20th century. She would have worn the bonnet over a sheitel, a wig traditionally worn by orthodox Jewish women to cover their hair.
From the 1880s, Jewish people in Russia and Poland suffered increasing persecution. Around two million Jews left their homes to seek a better life elsewhere, with up to 150,000 settling in Britain.
While the majority of immigrants settled in London's East End, a significant number settled in towns across Britain, including in Wales. Many were attracted by the opportunities available in Welsh mining towns such as Merthyr Tydfil and Tredegar, setting up as shopkeepers to serve the local community.

Researchers are calling the first six months of life a window of special vulnerability to exposure. But we're not talking about exposure to germs, but to something that should protect their little bodies—antibiotics.
New study results from the International Journal of Obesity have found that babies who had been treated with antibiotics between birth and five months of age were 22 percent more likely to be overweight by age three, reported MSNBC.com.
Children examined in the study that were treated with medicine between the time they were six months and 14 months old did not have significantly higher body mass at age 3 than children who had not received any. It might come down to the way antibiotics are administered; before six months antibiotics are given intravenously.
Study researcher Dr. Leonardo Trasande, of New York University School of Medicine, also gave this possible explanation: "Microbes in our intestines may play critical roles in how we absorb calories, and exposure to antibiotics, especially early in life, may kill off healthy bacteria that…would otherwise keep us lean."
Was your child given antibiotics before six months? Leave a comment.

The Kolkata outfit were made to pay for a clutch of missed chances as they succumbed to an opening day defeat...
Pune FC, who were a man down for the final quarter of the game, started their 2013-14 I-League season on a positive note as they thrashed Mohammedan Sporting 3-1 at the Salt Lake Stadium, Kolkata.
Josimar da Silva gave the home side the lead in the 11th minute which was cancelled out by Raul Fabiani five minutes later. In the second half, goals from James Meyer and Fabiani sealed the three points for the Pune-based outfit.
Mohammedan coach Aziz Moshood elected to start with Josimar da Silva and Tolgay Ozbey upfront with Penn Orji playing in the hole behind the two strikers.
For the away side, Mike Snoei elected to field his three new recruits, namely James Meyer, Raul Fabiani and Callum Angus while Douhou Pierre was benched.
The kick-off was delayed for close to 30 minutes as the organisers failed to fulfill the mandatory requirement of having two ambulances on the ground.
There were chances galore as the two teams started at a furious pace. It was new Pune recruit, Fabiani whose speculative cross from the left flank found an onrushing James Meyer but the latter could not connect properly as his shot just went wide.
Two minutes later at the other end, it was Ajay Singh of Mohammedan who was clean through on goal, only for an alert Amrinder Singh in the Pune FC goal to come collect the ball.
The away side had yet another chance in the seventh minute when Arata Izumi wriggled past the attention of Gagandeep Singh but his shot from an acute angle was easily parried away by Somnath Khara in goal.
It took eleven minutes for the first goal in the I-League and it was the home team who scored with Josimar da Silva peeling off his marker and getting at the end of a Gagandeep long ball. He did brilliantly to head the ball out of the path of the oncoming Amrinder in goal before calmly slotting it into an empty net.
They could have easily doubled the lead only three minutes later after Josimar showed tremendous awareness to backheel the ball to Ajay Singh who had continued his run after passing it to the Brazilian. With Tolgay Ozbey free at the far post, Ajay tried to side foot the ball past Amrinder instead of picking out the Australian, only to see it go agonizingly wide.
They had to pay for this as Pune FC struck back almost immediately through none other than the tall Fabiani who was the fastest to the rebound after Nikhil Kadam's initial shot had rattled off the post.
In the 31st minute, Josimar was at it again as he pulled off about half a dozen stepovers before cutting in and letting loose a shot only to see it being blocked. From the ensuing corner, Tolgay was almost free to pull the trigger but he failed to react in time.
Three minutes later, it was Fabiani again as the big striker displayed terrific skill to hold up his marker on the left corner flag just to backflick the ball through Colin Abranches' legs towards Gurjinder Kumar who had made a late run. While his first shot could only be parried by Khara in goal, he held it for the second time after Gurjinder got a second chance.
Mohammedan had a gilt-edged chance in first half injury time as Tolgay had found himself in acres of space down the left with only the goalkeeper to beat. Instead of picking out Ajay Singh who was clear down the right, the former Mohun Bagan forward decided to pull the trigger himself straight onto the path of Amrinder whose parry fell for Josimar whose weak shot was finally saved by the custodian.
It was an electrifying start to the second half as whatever Mike Snoei had said seemed to have worked wonders as they got the lead for the first time, six minutes after the restart.
It was Fabiani again who turned provider this time around holding off three defenders on the left before squaring the ball to an unmarked James Meyer in the box who made no mistake and smashed the ball past a helpless Khara in goal.
Aziz Moshood's side should have hit back almost immediately as skipper, Dhanarajan found Josimar with acres of space in the six yard box but instead of pulling the trigger, the Brazilian passed the ball to Tolgay whose woeful first touch led to the chance go begging.
Four minutes later, Arata had almost committed hara-kiri as his misplaced back pass was seized by the alert Josimar who attempted to chip Amrinder who had come out, only to see it go slightly over.
Things turned a shade comical in the 76th minute as first Justine Stephen came up with a horror pass to his central defensive partner which was seized by the marauding Fabiani whose low shot beat Khara all ends out before going in the net after striking the far post.
However it became a Laurel and Hardy story then as Fabiani seemingly suffering from momentary amnesia, decided to take off his jersey having forgotten his previous booking for a hand ball and was sent off with a second yellow. An incredible debut for the striker who scored two, assisted one and was also sent off.
Josimar had another chance go begging as his piledriver beat Amrinder all ends up but hit the upright, much to the disappointment of the Mohammedan Sporting players.
The Kolkata outfit would be disappointed having missed out on a number of chances created while Snoiei, though pleased with his strikers, would wonder about his defense given the number of times his goalkeeper was called into action.

Josh Canales Named Pac-10 Player of the Week
May 14, 2001
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - UCLA senior second baseman Josh Canales has been named Pac-10 Baseball Player of the Week for May 7-May 14, Commissioner Tom Hansen annouced today.
Canales, from Carson, Calif., hit .647 over four games last week, helping the Bruins to an upset win over then-No. 1 Cal State Fullerton and two victories over Oregon State. He went 11-for-17 at the plate, knocking in three runs and scoring four. He also stole two bases.
He helped defeat No. 1 Cal State Fullerton by going 2-for-3 with a walk and a sacrifice hit. He drove in UCLA's second run in the second inning, and walked and scored in the fourth en route to a 9-3 win over the Titans.
Canales played a critical role in Friday's win. He was 3-for-5, and his third hit was the biggest one. With two outs and the tying run in third base, Canales hit a chopper up the middle that the shortstop barehanded and threw to first. Canales beat the throw, allowing the game-tying run to score and send the game into extra innings, where the Bruins won, 5-3.
In Saturday's game, he was also very clutch, going 3-for-5 with a sacrifice hit. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, and the Bruins down by one run, Canales hit a single to keep the Bruins alive. He advanced to third on a Brian Baron single, and scored the game-tying run to force the game into extra innings, where the Bruins won 7-6.
In Sunday's game, he was 3-for-4 with a walk to improve his Pac-10 batting average to.446. He is on pace to break UCLA's Pac-10 batting average record of .429, set by Steve Klausen in 1967.
He has a 20-game hitting streak, and has hit safely in 35 of his last 36 games.
The Player of the Week honor is the first for Canales in his career, and the 35th selection all-time for UCLA.
USC's Rik Currier was named Pac-10 Pitcher of the Week.

You know that upcoming Bellator PPV none of you give a shit about? Well it just got SLIGHTLY MORE GIVE-A-SHITABLE.
That's right kids, Luke Thomas recently passed along the word that some more UFC veterans are going to throw down for the right to challenge whoever Bellator's current heavyweight champion is (I think it ends in "agrov" or "arinov"?) for the low, low price of 35ish dollars!
(That's right, three consecutive posts anchored by gifs. Deal with it.)
In one corner, we have the Rousimar Palhares of the testicle world, Cheick Kongo. In the other, we have the only UFC fighter to ever contract Stanozolol from a sauna, Vinicius Queiroz. Both picked up "big" wins at Bellator 102 — the former with a 2nd round TKO of THE Mike Godbeer, the latter with a 23 second knockout of fellow UFC washout Lavar Johnson. CAN. YOU. SENSE. THE MEDIOCRITY.
Contain yourselves, Potato Nation.

Inspired by the experiences of real Black Ops soldiers of the era, the missions of Call of Duty: Black Ops take the player to a wide variety of settings, ranging from snowbound mountain strongholds in historical Soviet held territories, to the jungles and urban settings of Vietnam War era SE Asia. Throughout all, care has been taken to maintain the traditional essence of Call of Duty style combat, while also introducing new types of player action that add to the gameplay experience. Additional features include co-op, versus and team-based multiplayer options, new vehicles like the SR-71 Blackbird and lethal new weapons such as explosive-tipped crossbows.
Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo Wii
The plotline starts somewhere in 1960s, in the fearful days of the Cold War and Vietnam war, so expect to meet Russian, Vietnamese and Cuban adversaries and the contrasting character of their leaders such as Fidel Castro of Cuba and President Kennedy of America. The game's hero, Alex Mason, is a soldier who can't remember anything from the past, and the storyline is a twisting narrative of his search for clues to help him bring back his lost memory. This game sticks to a definite organized storyline with a wonderful finale.
Black Ops presents new features and surprising twists. The battle is enjoyable; character-wise, no complaints, it is well designed with good detail and the plotline is remarkable, not of the easily predictable sort you get with many other games of this genre. Wii players can expect a fantastic first-person shooter since the Wii remote and the classic controller are both well suited and efficient options. Depending on your preferences, the classic controller can provide fluidity with its dual analog sticks while with Wii remote, jumps are easily done.
A new points system is also featured which is called, CoD Points. Aside from gaining experience points and level up, it has added and improved features like Create-A-Class, custom class slots, new game modes, perks, bonuses and a wide array of weapons to purchase. All of these can be purchased through this CoD points system. When you move on to the next level, you earn 1,000 CoD points which allows you to purchase lots of stuff to improve your character and your game. A small but thoughtful feature gives you the ability to personally customize your weapons by writing a clan name or emblem on them.
The game features several play modes. First is the Wager Match Mode which is designed to bring out the significance of the CoD points. This mode goes with another two games; one is the Chamber which stresses accuracy and patience and the other is the Gun Game which is a tour of 20 Black Op's and each kill corresponds to a new gun. The second mode is the Standard Mode that divides up into three teams with names such as Domination, Headquarters and Deathmatch, and is useful for leveling up. When you eventually reach Level 50 you'll be able to play the Prestige mode with still more new features and challenges.
The multiplayer mode is interesting; there are no lags even when performed with as many as 12 players. Nazi Mode also makes its return. The presentation of the visuals is truly fantastic, even with the amount of fast action going on in the game. The content is brimming with so many new and exciting features that make it not just a another sequel with slight variations but a whole new world of a game. Forget all the hype you've already seen, this game is all that and more. Do yourself a big favor, buy it.

FRISCO, Texas – The FC Dallas Reserves improved to 2-0-0 with a 2-0 victory over Chivas USA today on AdvoCare Field 1.
FC Dallas' first-round pick in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft, Tesho Akindele scored both goals for FC Dallas on assists from Homegrown midfielder Danny Garcia.
FC Dallas had a chance to go ahead 1-0 in the 15th minute following a solid buildup that began in the back with Michel, who was playing as a defensive midfielder. The Brazilian lofted a ball over the top of Chivas USA's back line, where Akindele ran the ball down and played negative to right back Zach Loyd. Loyd dropped the ball to Victor Ulloa, who had time to pick up his head and deliver a cross to the back post for Garcia. In space, Garcia attempted to beat Chivas USA goalkeeper Tim Melia high, but was unable to keep his shot under the crossbar.
FC Dallas Reserves continued to have an edge in possession until the 34th minute when Chivas USA earned a trio of set pieces in their attacking third of the field. Chivas USA's best opportunity came via corner kick when Daniel Fragoso knocked a cross to the back post. Agustin Pelletieri was there to win the ball, but also sent his header over the crossbar behind FC Dallas goalkeeper Raul Fernandez, who was making his first appearance of the 2014 season.
FC Dallas Reserves got its first goal in the 39th minute when Garcia collected a sliding pass from Michel near midfield. Garcia carried the ball through midfield before splitting a pair of Chivas USA defenders with a through ball that was directed towards Akindele. The Colorado School of Mines product won the ball from a Chivas USA defender and patiently dribbled around Melia before striking a sharp ball to the back post for the 1-0 lead.
Chivas USA had another scoring chance via corner kick in the 50th minute. This time it was Caleb Calvert that came free at the back post. His first-time volley had goalkeeper Richard Sanchez beat, but FC Dallas center back Nicholas Walker was in perfect position to knock the ball off the goal line and preserve the lead.
Chivas USA's Fragoso continued to serve dangerous balls into the area from the corner flag near the 54th minute. Trialist Michael Nwilloh got on the end of one of Fragoso's crosses inside the six yard box, but a last-minute challenge from Akindele put his shot off target.
Chivas USA's Kristopher Tyrpak had an opportunity to even the score in the 62nd minute. He struck a low, hard shot on net with his first touch but Sanchez was in position to make an easy save and deny the visitors of any rebound.
Akindele should've had his second of the game in the 80th minute, when UCLA product Ryan Hollingshead and Garcia worked down the left flank and delivered a great ball into the area. Akindele caught the cross on the volley, hammering a shot right at the center of the goal but Chivas USA goalkeeper Trevor Spangenberg flashed across the goal line to make an excellent diving save and keep the deficit at one goal.
Akindele did get his second of the match one minute prior to the final whistle. Garcia, again, set up the goal when he dribbled out of danger following a Chivas USA corner kick and played a ball into space for Akindele. The rookie forward held off a hard challenge from behind by a Chivas USA defender and cracked a low, hard shot that beat Spangenberg to the back post to make the final score 2-0 in favor of FC Dallas Reserves.
Scoring Summary:
DAL – Tesho Akindele (Danny Garcia, Michel) 39
DAL – Akindele (Garcia) 89
