September 18, 2022 MasterMind
Zara Tindall paid her respects to Queen Elizabeth II during the last royal vigil around her grandmother's coffin at Westminster Hall in London. She was part of the ceremony that gathered all eight of the late monarch's grandchildren, including her brother, Prince Phillips.
The youngest child of Princess Anne wore a black bishop dress with a velvet Peter Pan collar. As for footwear, Tindall chose classic black pumps that she paired with black tights, following the royal tradition for the mourning period. She accessorized with symbolic pearl earrings and a black headband with a veil.
Zara Tindall is seen during a vigil in honour of Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Hall on Sept. 17, 2022 in London.
The black veil is a symbol of sadness and is often used by royal women after the death of a loved one. The white pearls are considered to denote purity and represent tears.
The equestrian athlete has been wearing somber attire all week. On Sept 14., she was in a black midi dress with a turned-over collar and pleated skirt at the lying-in-state procession for Queen Elizabeth II's coffin.
Tindall and her brother Peter stood at the head of the coffin for around 15 minutes. They were joined by cousins Prince Harry, Prince William, Princess Beatrice, Viscount Severn James, and Lady Louise Windsor.

The mechanism by which anesthetic gases selectively prevent consciousness and memory (sparing non-conscious brain functions) remains unknown. At the turn of the 20th century Meyer and Overton showed that potency of structurally dissimilar anesthetic gas molecules correlated precisely over many orders of magnitude with one factor, solubility in a non-polar, 'hydrophobic' medium akin to olive oil. In the 1980s Franks and Lieb showed anesthetics acted in such a medium within proteins, suggesting post-synaptic membrane receptors. But anesthetic studies on such proteins yielded only confusing results. In recent years Eckenhoff and colleagues have found anesthetic action in microtubules, cytoskeletal polymers of the protein tubulin inside brain neurons. 'Quantum mobility' in microtubules has been proposed to mediate consciousness. Through molecular modeling we have previously shown: (1) olive oillike non-polar, hydrophobic quantum mobility pathways ('quantum channels') of tryptophan rings in tubulin, (2) binding of anesthetic gas molecules in these channels, and (3) capabilities for π-electron resonant energy transfer, or exciton hopping, among tryptophan aromatic rings in quantum channels, similar to photosynthesis protein quantum coherence. Here, we show anesthetic molecules can impair π-resonance energy transfer and exciton hopping in tubulin quantum channels, and thus account for selective action of anesthetics on consciousness and memory.

Leaf scars, obtained by the forcible removal of the entire leaf or by delaminating the petioles 7 days prior to their removal, were inoculated immediately and semimonthly from 15 July to 1 November with Xanthomonas pruni. The scars were located either at the tip or one third of the way down the twig. Summer cankers were produced following inoculations performed from 15 July to I October, whereas spring cankers resulted from inoculations made from 17 September to 1 November. Ingress of X. pruni occurred only at fresh scars resulting either from the forcible removal of leaves or from the removal of petioles that had been delaminated 1 and 3 days. Inoculated scars at the tip developed many more spring cankers than those one third of the way down the twigs. Histopathological investigations disclosed that X. pruni can enter the twig through the xylem vessel and intercellular spaces in the leaf base. Entrance through the xylem vessels appeared to be of no pathological importance, however, since the bacteria, once inside, could not move out to infect neighboring cells. Bacteria survived the winter in the intercellular spaces of the cortex, phloem, and xylem parenchyma and initiated cankers the following spring.

Can a full Moon really affect your sleep?
Image copyrightEPA
Over the years, the full Moon has been blamed for everything from spikes in crime, to causing madness, to baby booms.
But could it also be the reason some of you have found it hard to nod off this week?
For once, it may not be those caffeinated drinks or hours of screen time that have kept you awake.
Is there any science to back it up?
Scientists from Basel University in Switzerland found evidence of a "lunar influence" when they carried out a study on volunteers sleeping in laboratory conditions.
Their results showed that during a full Moon their 33 volunteers (who were unaware of the purpose of the study and unable to see the Moon from their beds):
Took five minutes longer to drop off
Slept for 20 minutes less
Spent 30% less time in deep sleep
But, intriguingly, the researchers suggested it was not down to the extra light from the Moon, as they were shut in a darkened room.
The most likely explanation, according to the research released in 2013 in Current Biology, was that somehow they were naturally attuned to the moon's cycles.
Prof Christian Cajochen, the man behind the study, said: "The lunar cycle seems to influence human sleep, even when one does not see the Moon and is not aware of the actual moon phase."
Image caption Volunteers in the study spent two separate nights at a sleep lab under close observation.
What can we do if a full moon affects our sleep?
In a word – nothing.
UK sleep expert Dr Neil Stanley said if the full Moon's effects on sleep were because of brightness, then the usual things such as eye masks would help. But the 2013 study suggested it wasn't about light.
"It's an academically interesting point but it is not particularly helpful as you can't stop it from happening," he said.
"There is going to be a full Moon every month whether you like it or not."
He says the research created a bit of a stir when it was released, but it still needs to be followed up with a larger group of individuals – and over a longer period – to rule out a chance finding.
"It's one of those things that you would instinctively believe – so to actually find an effect is interesting," he said.
"Unfortunately there has been no further research in this area since that study."
He also says if people are reporting poorer sleep after a full Moon it could be an example of confirmation bias – where people are more likely to notice and remember information which fits with their beliefs.
A full Moon catches the eye and people link it to their night of interrupted sleep – whereas a crescent moon is less likely to be noticed.
"Full Moons are mentioned in people's diaries. Everyone is writing about super Moons and blue Moons these days," he said.
"It may be just a self-fulfilling prophecy."
What else is a blamed on a full Moon?
Ancient myths are full of the Moon's ability to make us a little mad – or even turn us into werewolves.
It even gave us the basis of the word "lunacy", luna being the Latin for Moon.
There is plenty of anecdotal evidence claiming there are more accidents, violent incidents and psychiatric admissions when the Moon is full.

10 charts that show why sleep is so important
How lack of sleep affects the brain
Police in Brighton went as far as to employ extra officers during full moons in 2007 after they carried out research which found there was a rise in violent incidents.
Insp Andy Parr, speaking at the time, said: "From my experience, over 19 years of being a police officer, undoubtedly on full moons, we do seem to get people with, sort of, stranger behaviour – more fractious, argumentative.
"And I think that's something that's been borne out by police officers up and down the country for years."
Another popular old wives' tale is that a full Moon causes women to go into labour. It has also been blamed for people getting bitten by animals, higher suicide rates and sleepwalking.
But scientists have found little evidence for these – and indeed many other claims of its effects.

9-11 - LOOKING GLASS NEWS
911 "Conspiracy Theorists" Vindicated: Pentagon deliberately misled Public Opinion
by Michel Chossudovsky The Centre for Research on Globalisation
Entered into the database on Thursday, August 03rd, 2006 @ 15:36:54 MST
Military officials made false statements to Congress and to the 911 Commission
Recent revelations by members of the 911 Commission (quoted in the Washington Post, 2 August 2006) have farreaching implications.
They confirm that the Pentagon was involved in criminal wrongdoing by deliberately distorting and/or withholding information concerning the September 2001 attacks:
"Some staff members and commissioners of the Sept. 11 panel concluded that the Pentagon's initial story of how it reacted to the 2001 terrorist attacks may have been part of a deliberate effort to mislead the commission and the public rather than a reflection of the fog of events on that day, according to sources involved in the debate." (WP, 2 August 2006)
These revelations uphold what has been documented regarding 911 in several carefully researched studies, which the mainstream media continues to identify as "conspiracy theories".
It would appear that the 911 "Conspiracy Theorists" have at last been vindicated. The information now released and yet to come is that the Pentagon was involved in acts of coverup at the highest levels of the military hierarchy.
"Suspicion of wrongdoing ran so deep that the 10-member commission, in a secret meeting at the end of its tenure in summer 2004, debated referring the matter to the Justice Department for criminal investigation, according to several commission sources. Staff members and some commissioners thought that e-mails and other evidence provided enough probable cause to believe that military and aviation officials violated the law by making false statements to Congress and to the commission, hoping to hide the bungled response to the hijackings, these sources said." (Ibid)
If this were known to the 911 Commission, why was it withheld?
More generally, why was the contradictory evidence presented by the Pentagon, the White House and the CIA taken at face value. Why did the 911 Commission uphold the lies and falsehoods in its "authoritative" Report?
The Commission was not misled. The Commission deliberately and consciously distorted the facts regarding 911. A large part of the 911 narrative as presented in its report is fabricated.
The Pentagon's top brass (including senior NORAD officials) were involved in acts of perjury with a view to misleading public opinion. If the Commission doubted the veracity of the information presented, why did it replicate the lies and falsehoods in its report.
These recent revelations have all the appearances of "damage control": they consist in admitting that the Pentagon withheld information, without questioning the broader findings of the 911 Commission Report:
"I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described," John Farmer, a former New Jersey attorney general who led the staff inquiry into events on Sept. 11, said in a recent interview. "The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years. . . . This is not spin. This is not true." (Ibid).
Arnold, who could not be reached for comment yesterday, told the commission in 2004 that he did not have all the information unearthed by the panel when he testified earlier. Other military officials also denied any intent to mislead the panel.
John F. Lehman, a Republican commission member and former Navy secretary, said in a recent interview that he believed the panel may have been lied to but that he did not believe the evidence was sufficient to support a criminal referral.
"My view of that was that whether it was willful or just the fog of stupid bureaucracy, I don't know," Lehman said. "But in the order of magnitude of things, going after bureaucrats because they misled the commission didn't seem to make sense to me." (Ibid).
The integrity of the 911 commission members remains unscathed. The broader issue of sheer fabrication, presenting al Qaeda as the architect of the WTC attacks is not mentioned. Neither is the issue of Operation Able Danger, the Pentagon's secret operation, which consisted essentially is fabricating terrorist cells ahead of 911:
"Atta, according to the Kean report, was the "tactical leader of the 9/11 plot". He was the pilot who on that dreadful morning flew the first plane, American Airlines 11, into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York. It was Atta's face, on television and in newspapers across the world, that became the symbol of Islamic terrorism. And it was Atta's name - not the names of any of the 18 other hijackers allegedly lead by Atta on that day - that was cited by international security researchers. Atta was, as the Kean report stresses, "the tactical commander of the operation in the United States". According to both the Bush administration and the official 9/11 Commission report, he was working on the orders of Osama Bin Laden who, from remote Afghanistan, controlled the entire operation.
Now, almost exactly four years after 9/11, the facts appear to have been turned upside down. We now learn that Atta was also connected to a top secret operation of the Pentagon's Special Operations Command (SOCOM) in the US. According to Army reserve Lieutenant-Colonel Anthony Shaffer, a top secret Pentagon project code-named Able Danger had identified Atta and three other 9/11 hijackers as members of an al-Qaida cell more than a year before the attacks.
Able Danger was an 18-month highly classified operation tasked, according to Shaffer, with "developing targeting information for al-Qaida on a global scale", and used data-mining techniques to look for "patterns, associations, and linkages". He said he himself had first encountered the names of the four hijackers in mid-2000." (See Daniele Ganser's study on Operation Able Danger )

Nepal Bhasha, also known as Newāh bhaye or Newari, is one of the major languages of Nepal. It is the mother tongue of Newāh people group who is the original inhabitant of Kathmandu Valley. It is also spoken partly in Sikkim in India. It used to be the national language of the then three autonomous states of Nepal Mandal; Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur before Nepal was unified as one Kingdom. Nepal Bhasa belongs to Tibeto-Burman brance which has its root in the Sino-Tibetan languages.
Nepal Bhasa is based on Abugida (pronounced /ˌɑːbuːˈɡiːdə/) also known as alphasyllabary writing system. It is written in segments and based on consonants which makes vowels only secondary phonetics despite their obligatory inclusion in the formation of words.
At present, only Prachalit, Ranjana, and Devanagari are the most common in use.
For more information on Nepal Bhasa, click here.


Text captions often play an important role in photographs. They define the image and tell the viewer exactly what he is looking at. For family albums and photographs taken long ago, captions provide important context. It's easy enough to forget the date, the event or the people within a photograph after many years, and a text caption can tell later viewers this information.
Download the photograph to your computer, and give it a name you can remember. Save it to an area where you can find it easily, like on your Desktop or in the Documents folder.
Open Microsoft Office and select "New Blank Document." Go to the Insert menu and click on "Insert Picture." A window will open -- find your image, select it and click on "Open."
Arrange the photograph where you want it in the document, and adjust the size until it's at the proportions and scale you desire. Clicking on one of the corners and dragging it inwards or outwards is the best way to do this.
Go back to the Insert menu and select "Insert Text Box." Place the text box under the image and type in the caption. To change font, font size, color or other specifications, highlight the text and alter it as you would normal text in Microsoft Word.
Go to the File menu and select "Print." To preview the image you may also select "Print Preview" first.
Microsoft Office has slightly different formats for Macintosh computers and PCs , but the processes are basically the same.
Captioning photos is also possible in PowerPoint, as well as non-Microsoft programs like OpenOffice, Photoshop, InDesign and others. Again, some of the steps are slightly different but not too hard to figure out.

Q: Plot a specific node and its direct neighbors in R Studio I was using the igraph library and I used the neighbors function, but that only gave me a list of all the edges that a particular node had. It doesn't actually plot that graph out.
Is there an easy way to do this? I will post snippets of my code if you need it.

A: You do not provide any data so I am using a simple example from
Katya Ognyanova. Here is the original data:
library(igraph)
gl <- graph_from_literal(a-b-c-d-e-f, a-g-h-b, h-e:f:i, j)
plot(gl)

The node labeled "b" is node 2. To get its neighbors and plot the sub-graph, you can use:
VList = c(2, neighbors(gl, 2))
Sgl = induced_subgraph(gl, VList)
plot(Sgl)

Ekko av en venn
Ekko av en venn by Ingvar Ambjørnsen
Series: Elling #5
Publisher: Cappelen Damm
Show synopsis
Elling 20 år etter vi forlot ham i Elsk meg i morgen, like sår og morsom som alltid.
Han har flyttet inn i en sokkelleilighet hos enkefru Annelore Frimann-Clausen på Grefsen i Oslo. Dette er Ingvar Ambjørnsens femte bok om Elling. Den står ikke tilbake for noen av de andre, tvert imot er det en helt nydelig og gripende skildring av et ensomt menneske, som svært mange vil kjenne seg igjen i.
When this sequel to the Elling series was released out of the blue 20 years after the previous book was released, I was a little nervous. Would it feel forced? Would Elling as a character still work in modern day?
I needn't have worried. It works. It works absolutely wonderfully. This book turned out to be everything I could possibly want from it — and a bit more.
In this book Elling has grown into a man in his mid-fifties, and moves into a basement-flat in Oslo. It's not made entirely clear to the reader what happened to him in the last 20 years, but that doesn't matter. He's here, he's now, and he's very much still the same Elling.
The style of this book is entirely consistent with the previous books in the series, and all the things that make this series of books so special are still there. We still follow the inner monologue of Elling, a character who lives very much inside his own head, and who, due to various conditions such as anxiety attacks and forced thoughts, sometimes struggles to interact with the world around him. He constantly makes assumptions and makes up stories about everything that goes on around him. Through partaking in his inner monologue we see how everything makes sense to him, except when it doesn't, and get his thoughts, reasoning, and sometimes justifications for things that must seem extremely strange to everyone around him. Elling is a reliably unreliable narrator of his own life. Occasionally, often when there is some input of any kind from the world around him, the reader is given a reason to doubt whether Elling has grossly misunderstood something that has happened, or left something important out. This adds a veil of uncertainty and tension that gives a slightly creepy edge to this mostly feel-good book. Most of the time it seems like everything is fine. Strange, but fine. However, now and then the reader is given reasons to second-guess whether everything is as fine as it seems, and there is no way of knowing the real answer.
Everything about this book seems natural and real. Everything about this book feels completely true to the character of Elling. Among other things, Elling is introduced to Facebook, in a way which is unexpected, but, knowing this character, also completely predictable. Combining the partial, constructed, "truths" of Facebook with a man like Elling, who not only fills in the gaps but then goes on to build a house of narratives on top of them, makes for a wonderful indirect commentary on social media in a way that also feels entirely original, as no one can see these things quite as Elling can.
This book is also much less sad than the previous couple of books. Everything isn't rosy, but this book farm from delivers the kind of emotional gut-punches that occasionally appeared in the last couple of books. I don't think this makes the book better or worse, but it certainly makes it a little more relaxing to read.
For anyone who reads Norwegian, I would highly recommend reading the Elling books from the start. I'm sure Elling wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but for anyone who has read the original Elling books, and liked them, this is absolutely a must-read. This is the first time in a long time that I've read a book in practically one sitting. The book doesn't even feel like it's written — it feels like you're just there when things happen.

The devastation wrought by Hurricane Dorian on two of the Bahamian islands served as a wake-up call for the rest of the region to intensify emergency and resilience planning.
The months since the official start of the hurricane season in June had been full of the usual national and regional preparations for the season: national advisories, checking of evacuation areas and numerous training courses for the region's emergency management personnel.
However, there is nothing like pictures of real-time devastation to focus minds on the detailed planning needed to cope with increasing storms and extreme weather trends.
In St Lucia, Stephenson King, a former prime minister who is currently the island's infrastructure minister, announced plans on 17 September for the reassessment of building codes and hurricane shelters in the light of the devastation meted out by Dorian in the Bahamas. Mr King said the intensity of Hurricane Dorian was "dangerous" and required a fresh look at building standards. He added that as things stood, "not any school can be a hurricane shelter."
Jamaica's Foreign Affairs Minister, Kamina Johnson Smith, put out a call to Jamaicans living abroad to register with their country's missions. As emergency co-ordinators fanned across the affected islands to find bodies under the rubble, she told parliament that a formal process would have helped the Jamaican government know where their nationals lived in those communities, so the authorities could check on their safety. "We are looking at creating a formal template, and to work with Caribbean airlines and travel agents, to help outgoing persons to be more conscious, because, whenever there is a national disaster, the ability to make contact with you is very important," she said.
Guyana's Stabroek News highlighted the concerns of a "significant number of Guyanese teachers" who had been working in the Northern Bahamas and had been displaced by Hurricane Dorian. The newspaper reported on the first group of nationals to return home on 15 September. "If we return [to The Bahamas], it is just to visit, not to work. It is really difficult to relive that experience," father-of-three Orin Grimmond told reporters at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport. "The experience is terrifying; it is traumatising to begin with. As a husband and father, I looked at my family and there was nothing I could have done to save my family. The water was rising and there was no way to save my family. I cannot say anything else, but that it was a miracle we are alive," he added.
Haitians living on the affected islands had a different story to tell. The New Humanitarian news agency (which grew out of a United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs project) reported that an estimated 30% of the 72,000 people living on the Abaco Islands are of Haitian descent. According to the agency, survivors contacted by telephone had said they thought the death toll would be much higher than the official figures, because many Haitians and Bahamians of Haitian origin did not have documents and feared that reporting missing relatives and friends could lead to deportations. Ron Duprat, a Haitian chef with World Central Kitchen, a charity that has provided more than 200,000 meals since Dorian hit the Bahamas, told the agency: "Haitians are pretty much in hiding in the Bahamas since Hurricane Dorian."
Caribbean leaders have also taken the opportunity to put across their message on climate change in the run-up to the UN Climate Action Summit, taking place in New York from 23 September. A number of politicians spoke forcefully at a UN Trade Forum on Sustainable Development Goals and Climate Change which took place in early September.
In a joint op-ed article ahead of the UN Summit, Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness and Fiji's leader, Frank Bainimarama, pressed home their call on the website Project Syndicate for the leaders of developed countries to do more to help small island states combat global warming. They wrote: "Although small islands bear the least responsibility for climate change, we stand to lose the most as a result of its effects, owing partly to our small size and fragile economies. In addition, our populations, critical infrastructure and key economic assets are highly exposed to extreme weather events, rising sea levels and other hazards. The recent destruction wrought by Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas is the latest example of how vulnerable small island states are.
"So while much of the world does not treat global warming with the same sense of urgency, countries like ours have no choice but to act. Small island states have therefore taken the lead globally and are continuing to demand immediate action to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial temperatures – a goal of the landmark 2015 Paris climate agreement."

Stewart-Hass adjustment to Ford to be tested in Las Vegas

PUBLISHED: March 1, 2018 at 8:43 p.m. | UPDATED: June 16, 2021 at 6:12 a.m.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) – Kevin Harvick has a victory, Aric Almirola should have won the Daytona 500 and Clint Bowyer is running well again – signs that Stewart-Haas Racing finally may have adjusted to its switch to Ford.
SHR would admit that last year was an off year, its first driving the Fusion after an exclusive Chevrolet partnership. But the team seemed far closer to its expected pace in the Daytona 500, where 2017 winner Kurt Busch and Almirola had chances to win in the closing laps.
Harvick had a dominating victory last week at Atlanta while Bowyer finished third, Busch seventh and Almirola 13th. Next up is Sunday's race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and Bowyer was the highest-finishing SHR driver there last year at 10th.
The team has looked strong – and closer to equal across the board with the additions of Almirola and Bowyer in place of Danica Patrick and team co-owner Tony Stewart – through two races. But no one is breathing easy just yet.
'It's a moving target, right?' SHR competition director Greg Zipadelli said. 'Absolutely, we're in a little bit better place. These guys have had a year to work with the (Ford) and understand it and make some little adjustments.'
As SHR and the Ford soars into Las Vegas, the race has become a strong barometer for Chevrolet and its new Camaro.
Camaro drivers Austin Dillon and Bubba Wallace finished 1-2 in the Daytona 500, on top of Alex Bowman's pole in the debut for the Camaro. Chevy can ride on those victories for months – unless, of course, the Camaro has some catching up to do with the competition.
Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott were the highest-finishing Chevy drivers at Atlanta in ninth and 10th, and there were only six Camaros in the top 20. Remember, Chevy had 17 of the 36 entries at Atlanta, so by default the manufacturer should pull in a decent average finish.
Chevy was long-pressed to make this year's move to the Camaro, and Las Vegas will be a good indicator of where the car still needs some work.
Also at Las Vegas …
JOHNSON SLUMPS: Johnson took to Twitter after the horrific start to his season to express his mindset.
The seven-time series champion posted that 'F.E.A.R. has two meanings.' His choices are to 'Forget Everything And Run' or 'Face Everything And Rise.'
What does he plan?
'I'm ready to rise,' Johnson, ordinarily laid back, said in a dramatic post.
Johnson wrecked in all three of his races at Daytona and was 27th at Atlanta. He's also 35th in the point standings, territory Johnson is not supposed to be near.
But Johnson is a four-time winner at Las Vegas, so Sunday is a chance for him to snap this slump.
However, if his struggles go hand in hand with anything related to switching to the Camaro, there could be bigger issues to address. The retirement of Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. cost Chevrolet two veterans who can offer specific feedback about the car. When SHR moved to Ford, Chevrolet lost Harvick, Busch and Stewart.
Johnson, Jamie McMurray and Ryan Newman are as grizzled as the veterans get in the Chevrolet camp, and Johnson has his hands full at Hendrick Motorsports. His own team has flipped and Johnson is now the mentor to Elliott, Bowman and William Byron, a trio all under 25.
If Johnson is going to rise, he needs to start at least moving to the front at Las Vegas.
PAGING TRUEX: This is a case of the mysteriously quiet start to the season for defending Cup champion Martin Truex Jr.
Truex hasn't won anything this year – nothing at all – and that's unheard of after last year. He won every meaningful statistic, so there was no reason to believe the start of this year wouldn't be the same.
Instead, his team struggled with inspection at Atlanta and he drove from 35th to fifth to salvage the weekend.
In fairness, his season didn't take off last year until Las Vegas, where he won the first of his eight races and two of his 19 stage victories, both series highs. If there's no hangover for the reigning champion, Las Vegas will be where he can prove it.
NEW NASCAR!: All the veteran drivers appear to be in on the 'wink-wink' acceptance of NASCAR's marketing of young, future stars. The latest to acknowledge the inside joke was Kasey Kahne, who posted a picture alongside Larson and Ryan Blaney before the three boarded a private plane for Las Vegas.
'Old guy hanging with the young guys,' Kahne wrote on Twitter.
Kahne lost his job at the end of last season to 20-year-old William Byron and he's now with Leavine Family Racing. A year ago with Hendrick Motorsports, he was seventh at Daytona and fourth at Atlanta. In his debut with Leavine, he was 34th and 21st last week.
Kahne's going to have a long season, so it's in his best interest to have a good sense of humor.
