The New Ford 2022 Escape: Walkthrough
With the release of the comparably categorized Bronco Sport in 2021, providing many sports utility vehicle lovers with an all-terrain accomplished alternative at their Ford exhibit, the 2022 Escape’s delicate-road proficiency in addition to its smooth handling can assist on-road-aligned motorists.
Furthermore, the 2022 Escape can be acquired with powertrains of plug-in hybrid as well as normal hybrid features. Moreover, the Escape provides an abundance of cargo space in its interior. And if that weren’t enough, it also has advantageous driver-assistance benefits and can be equipped with much discretionary opulence and favourable items — provided you can afford a more expensive trim.
Price and Which One to Purchase
To get the most bang for your buck from this lineup, you may want to opt for the SEL mid-range trim. There are many refinements to the SEL that the shoppers of the compact-SUV will enjoy. Some of which include faux leather padding, steering wheel encompassed with heated leather wrapping, side rails for the roof rack, etc.
With a price tag of $30,750, the SEL provides great value for the money spent. However, if that’s a little out of your budget, you could jump down to the lower ends of the spectrum to the S model with a price of $26,000. And finally, if you have the capital and are looking for something a little more opulent, then the Titanium Plug-in Hybrid at $39,570 may be more your speed.
Motor, Performance, and Transmission
A plethora of powertrains is provided with the 2022 Escape. Beginning with a supercharged three-cylinder motor engine with 181-hp that can have front or AWD. Moreover, the turbo three is a rather bemoaning and coarse engine that offers sufficient acceleration; allowing the Escape to go from 0mph to 60mph in less than 8 seconds.
But if you need an enhancement, you can customize your Escape by upgrading to a 250-hp supercharged, four-cylinder. This is perhaps the most spellbinding option and is strong enough to land a 5.7-second score on the same 0-to-60mph examination.
Additionally, both of these gas motors are matched to an 8-speed mechanized transmission. In order to handle fresh competition from rival brands, Ford provides two hybrids for the Escape, one being a plug-in, and the powertrains comprise of a four-cylinder and two electrically powered engines that blend to produce 221-hp.
Radius, Charging, and Life of Battery
The model of the hybrid plug-in will bear a 14.2-kWh battery packet. And this is sufficient for an EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) approximated 37 miles of driving while utilizing only electricity.
Real-World MPG and Fuel Economy
The supercharged three-cylinder trim coupled with its front-wheel-drive can provide the best fuel economy approximations amongst nonhybrid Escape trims. Additionally, it’s ranked at 27 mpg city, followed by 33 mpg freeway, as well as 30 mpg blended. Moreover, we evaluated an AWD trim that possessed the turbo three-cylinder and commanded an incredible 35 mpg throughout our 75 mpg freeway fuel economy path.
Even though the bigger supercharged four-cylinder with AWD is ranked at 23 mpg city, as well as 31 mpg freeway, and 31mpg blended, we were left with a 32 mpg freeway outcome in the examination. If you’re looking for the most systematic Escape, then the plug-in model will be your ideal trim, as it receives fuel economy rankings as lofty as — believe it or not — 44 mpg city.
Cargo, Comfort, and Interior
The cabin of the Escape is generously designed, with space in both the front and rear seat areas. Richly tactile upholstery seats are customary, however, trims of higher quality will get a persuasive faux-leather surface for their seats. In addition, the seats of the 2022 Escape are a commodious cargo space that offers room to house up to 7 suitcases.
Infotainment and Connectedness
The base trim will arrive with a 4” display of radio in addition to AM and FM stations as the sole provider of entertainment. However, the SE models and above get a bigger 8” touchscreen along with Ford’s newest interface for infotainment, along with Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto ability.
The FordPass app from your smartphone offers remote entry to automobile telematics and can remotely start all Escape trims. However, the most secured and technologically advanced Escape would be the Titanium trim. This model comes customary, equipped with a 10-speaker B&O audio system, built-in navigation, in addition to a 12” virtual display gauge.
Driver Safety Features
Ford is providing a myriad of features for driver assistance. This system is referred to as Co-Pilot360 and it comes as standard equipment on each Escape trim. Some of the key features include:
- Customary forward-collision alert with automatic braking
- Customary lane-departure alert with lane-keeping assist
- Customary blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic warning
Maintenance and Warranty
Both the Escape plug-in and hybrid come with guidelines that are unique to those trims’ powertrains and offer as much as 100,000 miles of protection.
- A narrow warranty will cover 36,000 miles or 3 years
- Warranty for powertrain will cover 60,000 miles or 5 years
- A hybrid warranty will cover 100,000 miles or 8 years

US has set the stage for Afghanistan’s humanitarian disaster, says Hina Khar
Afghans are starving. Not just because the Taliban are now in charge, according to Pakistan's former top diplomat.
“Of course, people are talking about the starving Afghan people who need our help,” Hina Khar told Ian Bremmer in a GZERO World interview at the 2022 Munich Security Conference. “But that's the white man's burden — not accepting what you did wrong in creating the situation that is starving the Afghans right now.”
Khar questioned whether democracies have propagated international values across the board for all nationalities, and whether the US would have invaded Afghanistan if as many American or European lives had been on the line.
Military interventions like the US-led war in Afghanistan, she added, cast a “deep shadow on the entire democratic value system.”

procedure GM recommends:
Take a pressurizeable container (specifically designed to add chemicals

Friday 19th September 2003
|Text too small?|
On Friday Fletcher revalues its forests from $1.03 billion to $582 million, a 44% drop on a pre-tax basis.
On Monday it announces it has agreed conditionally to sell those forests, and land assets, to the Campbell Group for $685 million, $43 million less than the board agreed they were "worth" one business day before. One of the conditions, subject to a break fee of $17 million, is that Fletcher won't talk to anyone else.
On Tuesday Kiwi Forests Group reveals it has also been talking to Fletcher and is prepared to pay $750 million, $65 million more than Campbell.
One bizarre aspect of the affair is that the devaluation was far larger than the market was expecting but still left the carrying value significantly ahead of the offer made by Campbell (major differentiator, "an opportunistic approach to investing," according to its website).
Analysts had expected a chop of around $245 million or 24%. That would have been less than Carter Holt Harvey's cut of 31% but more than Evergreen Forests' 18%.
Those with suspicious minds will suspect the actual 44% cut was the closest Fletcher thought it could get to the Campbell offer without triggering accusations it was exaggerating the value fall to accommodate a cheap offer.
The reason chairman Sir Dryden Spring gave for agreeing to a sale at below the just-established value was that the difference "reflects the price for the early realisation of value for shareholders, compared with an ongoing 'in use' value to be realised over time."
In other words, in Fletcher ownership the forests weren't returning the cost of the capital invested in them. Shareholders would be better off with their money in the bank.
That argument would have been fine if Campbell had been the only buyer in town.
But the board knew Kiwi Forests Group, a well-resourced bidder, was also interested. Yet it rushed to cut an exclusive deal with Campbell.
The board is now left looking somewhat silly. Shareholders are likely to want Kiwi's $750 million, not Campbell's $685 million, even if it means less cash upfront.
Their board has ensured it will cost them the break fee to take it.
This rush to sell at the bottom of the market compounds last year's embarrassment when the board unveiled a bid to buy back the Central North Island Forests before it had tested the waters of shareholder approval. Where's the fire, chaps?
Meanwhile calculators are clicking in sharebroking offices as the moneymen try to put a figure on the sudden flow of cash headed for local investors' bank accounts.
Shareholders have already pocketed a $1.2 billion cheque from John Fairfax Holdings for Independent Newspapers' publishing assets. Next up, if shareholders ignore the advice of the independent directors, is the $443 million cash component of INL's offer for Sky Network Television.
Toll Holdings' bid for Tranz Rail will add a further $185 million. Some time before Christmas, if the Campbell deal goes through, Fletcher Forests will pay out $558 million after selling its trees.
Of that, $111 million will go to Rubicon. It's a fair bet that too will be paid out to shareholders.
Mainfreight's offer for Owens Group adds $50 million.
All up, that's just north of $2.4 billion in the second half of the year and that doesn't count the $475 million capital return from NGC Holdings, which is by way of share cancellation, not cash.
That's a healthy thing for a market that has soaked up its share of the $2.1 billion Promina float and is digesting Freightways' $141 million offering, together with an array of retail debt issues.
Other possible or probable corporate manoeuvres for example, a full takeover bid for Tower or News Corp cleaning up the INL minorities after the Sky acquisition could add to the pot.
All this activity is chomping steadily into the NZX's stock of equity listings.
Apart from NZX itself, the only replacements this year have been Promina, Freightways and Postie Plus.
A few smaller stocks 42 Below, Feltex and Stirling Sports have confirmed plans to issues shares and list, while the pipeline of on-again, off-again floats includes Jade Software, Tru-Test and Turners & Growers.
Working out how much of the capital released or about to be released will go to New Zealanders is more an art than a science.
And working out what the money New Zealanders get will be spent on is closer to necromancy. At a historically-guided guess, consumption, debt reduction, property and overseas investments will take a heavy toll, leaving very little for investment in local productive enterprises.
The Fletcher Forests sale brings closer to an end the epic tale of the breakup of the Fletcher empire.
In May 2000, just before the break-up began, the combined market capitalisation of the four Fletcher letter stocks Energy, Paper, Building, and Forests was about $4.44 billion.
Paper was sold a few weeks later, bringing in $1.6 billion for its shareholders. Holders of Energy shares got $3.3 billion later that year.
Building's market capitalisation earlier this week stood at $1.8 billion and Rubicon's at $200 million. A surge in the value of Forests shares after the sale announcement lifted its market capitalisation to $700 million.
Adding that lot up comes to $8.6 billion, almost twice Fletcher Challenge's May 2000 worth.
Sure, big mistakes were made both before the breakup and afterward.
But those who decided on and implemented the breakup should be given due credit for the massive amount of value that was realised from an ailing empire.
What was done with all that wealth is a matter for the individuals who got the cheques.

S.Tx.Report: Robinson, Yamoah claim national indoor titles for Javs
PITTSBURG, Kan. — The legacy already was cemented, but Texas A&M-Kingsville's Jeron Robinson and Jordan Yamoah left a lasting impression at the 2016 NCAA Division II Indoor Track and Field Championships Saturday as they became multiple-time indoor national champions.
A&M-Kingsville finished in sixth on the men's side with 30 points, and Kaina Martinez picked up a point for the women.
The sixth-place finish for the men was best among Lone Star Conference schools.
Robinson won the high jump for the second time — he won gold as a freshman in 2013 — with a leap of 7 feet, 3 inches (2.21 meters) to earn 10 points for the Javelinas. He concludes his indoor career with four conference titles, two national titles and he holds the top 20 marks in school history.
Yamoah became a three-time indoor national pole vault champion after earning gold in 2013 and 2014. He finished with a vault of 17-9 (5.41 meters).
The mark was second in school history and Yamoah's personal record as he concludes his indoor career with three national and four LSC titles.
Javier Lopez set the second-best time in Javelina history in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 7.69 seconds to finish second and earn silver.
Michal Idziak finished seventh with a time of 1:50.02 in the 800. The time, second fastest in school history, earned the senior All-American indoor honors for the first time.
Martinez finished eighth in the 200 with a time of 24.48 to close her indoor career as an All-American.

The Islanders jumped out to an early lead by winning the doubles point. They are 9-1 in doubles play.
The pairing of sophomore Hortense Boscher and freshman Alexandra Belle opened the scoring with a 6-0 win and senior co-captains Celia Rodriguez and Maider Martin clinched the point with a 6-2 win.

Odem's Pizana leads TLU to win
COLUMBUS, Ga. — Former Odem standout Veny Pizana flirted with a perfect game as Texas Lutheran cruised into the Gold Championship Bracket of the 2016 National Fastpitch Coaches Association Leadoff Classic with a 9-1 win Saturday morning against Piedmont College (Georgia).
The junior right-hander took a perfect game into the fifth, having retired the first 12 batters she faced.
Piedmont's Abby Smith broke up the perfect game, the no-hitter and the shutout with a home run to lead off the fifth. Smith's homer would be the only hit Piedmont would get against Pizana (4-0).
TLU (16-0) moved its regular-season win streak to 46 games with a 4-1 win over Claremont Mudd Scripps in the first game of the gold bracket play.
Pizana faced just one batter more than the minimum (16) in a five-inning contest.

1313Walker Stalker Con, the US-based convention event inspired by comic and TV series, The Walking Dead shuffled its way to the UK. Walker Stalker Con London took place in the Olympia London and I dragged my carcass over the pond for it last weekend.
The guest list for the weekend was peppered with some of the biggest names from the series including Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Andrew Lincoln, Chandler Riggs, Jon Bernthal and Mike Cuditz. That’s only scratching the surface and if you prefer the comics to the TV show then series artist, Charlie Adler being in attendance would have satisfied even the more hardcore fans. If meeting the actors from the show wasn’t high on your list of priorities then there was little else really to choose from – the focus here was the guests, the autographs and the photo ops.
With the popularity of the show, the numbers in attendance on both days of the event were in the thousands. The knock on effect to that meant long queues and waits to meet guests. Depending on the type of ticket you held that could have meant anywhere from ten minutes to five hours in line, something you would think fans would’ve been up in arms about but not here!
Don’t get me wrong, fans grumbled when general admission lines moves faster and at peak times staff struggled to keep queues in an orderly fashion. There was even disappointment, shuffling slowly in line for hours only to be turned away while guests were whisked away for photo ops or panels, left many with heads (and limbs) hanging pained and exasperated. It wasn’t enough to turn the dedicated off though and they don’t come more dedicated than The Walking Dead fans apparently, a trait I was surprised to find buried but alive in myself having missed my opportunity to meet Melissa McBride at her first signing!
No I returned, as did a sea of familiar faces I’d come to recognise from our patient pack earlier in the morning. Waiting for McBride to return to her stall, I got talking to fans who had just queued a good four hours to meet Reedus and were now queuing to meet McBride devouring snacks and guzzling luke warm coffees. Some had missed their scheduled photo ops, others, more experienced fans, dropped tips about aiming for later ops at future events, having never experienced a phenomenon quite like Walker Stalker Con, I took plenty of mental notes, all the while being quietly infected with their enthusiasm. I’d been bitten by Walker Stalker Con and as I stood eagerly and awkwardly at the top of McBride’s queue I hopped from foot to foot reciting what I was going to say to her.
I managed to say none of it, or rather I said plenty of it, it just wasn’t comprehensible to anyone who couldn’t decipher my high-pitched, rapid and gleeful screeches. Yeah, I was a goner!
Autographs in tow, wallet somewhat depleted I reunited with fellow Arcade staffer, Mary McFadden who’d joined me on the trip. I was relieved to diagnose that she too had experienced the same symptoms after meeting Mr. Reedus.
It’s safe to save that the majority of people at the event had been exposed to the contagion. Walker Stalker Con is pushed as a fan event and it’s not hard to see why! The fans rule the event! Cosplayers swarmed the floor of the Olympia, some came as their favourite characters, (special mention to the crew of the Dead Inside cosplay group!) while others came as walkers of all shapes, sizes and state of decay.
Both days of the events were dotted with a timetable for panels and a large space towards the rear of the venue was dedicated to these talks where guests sat to talk all things The Walking Dead. Spotted around this area a number of stalls for merchants ranging from handmade pieces to merchandise, special effects makeup and art prints filled space but one sweep of this section and you’d seen it all. The highlight from the floor was the ‘ Zombie Apocalypse’ maze that entrants ran while equipped with weapons to take the zombies roaming the corridors out with. If Walker Stalker Con returns to London next year or even later this year, then I’d hope they bring a little more variety and a little more to do for fans who opted out of queuing.
That said overall, I had a fantastic experience at the show despite making a bumbling mess of myself at a signing. A little more to do and to see and Walker Stalker Con would guarantee a returning horde of fans each year.
Editor-in-Chief, part-time super villain and hoarder of cats. If you can’t find me writing, I’m probably in the kitchen!

Maserati has introduced a Ferrari-built 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine to the Levante range, though it won't be available in right-hand-drive models until at least next year. It has also introduced a new 3.0-litre 346hp V6 petrol unit (also built by Ferrari), which sits beneath the 424hp version released last year. However, this new entry-level V6 petrol model isn't due until September so for now we've had to 'make do' with a test drive in the 424hp version of the MY19 Levante.
In the metal
The Levante was always a good-looking SUV and Maserati hasn't done much to alter the exterior save for a few cosmetic updates. Base V6 models see no changes, but tweaks have been made to differentiate the GranLusso and GranSport variants.
GranLusso cars now get chrome inserts in the grille, chrome front and rear skid plates, a body-colour rear spoiler and black brake calipers behind 19-inch alloys. GranSport trim now gets piano black inserts in the grille, a sportier looking lower front fascia and rear bumper and red brake calipers behind 20-inch alloys.
Inside, the dashboard is designed around an 8.4-inch touchscreen that features upgraded graphics. Unfortunately, these graphics haven't been upgraded enough and they aren't as glossy as those found in rival cars. The camera resolution isn't as high as one would expect in a such a premium car either. Fortunately, the infotainment system is easy to use and there is Apple Car Play and Android Auto compatibility, alongside Bluetooth and voice control options.
The leather seats are available in black, red, beige and tan, with specific stitching extended to the dashboard. The red leather is surprisingly tasteful and adds some much-needed pizzazz. Without the splash of colour however, the cabin feels a little plain and missing that Italian flair. But, it does have some lovely soft touch, good quality materials.
For me though, the cabin is let down by the switchgear. Sure, those leather seats are beautifully sculpted and comfortable, but the switchgear and infotainment system surround cheapen the place, a little. While it doesn't have an up-market feel that you might expect from luxury Italian goods, it's still a pleasant cabin.
First off, the electrically adjustable seats and steering wheel make it every easy to find a comfortable driving position and visibility is good all around.
The major change for this Levante update is the addition of a redesigned gearshift lever for the eight-speed ZF automatic transmission. The driver can now just change from automatic to manual mode by shifting the lever from left to right. And you'll want to select manual a lot more thanks to some lovely-to-use aluminium gearshift paddles at the back of the leather steering wheel. The gearbox is smooth shifting and never seems to miss a beat. It is a lovely thing.
The tweaked gear selector means the drive mode buttons on the centre console have been rearranged to be more intuitive to use. There is an Off-Road button, an I.C.E. (Increased Control and Efficiency) button and a Sport button, as well as a new button that allows the driver to select the Skyhook suspension setting independently of the Sport mode.
The Sport setting quickens the gearshifts and increases throttle response. The Skyhook button stiffens the suspension. This makes it easier to create a personalised balance between comfort and performance, which is needed, as the Levante isn't tuned for comfort.
The chassis is poised and body control is rather decent for such a big machine, but it does bounce about a bit over larger bumps. However, lowering the ride height makes this less noticeable. Selecting Sport mode also lessens the bounce, but the trade-off is a more jittery ride. The steering is nicely weighted though, accurate too, and there is a decent amount of feedback and response overall. Traction is also great thanks to an all-wheel-drive system that uses a mechanical limited-slip differential at the back and torque vectoring.
The V6 engine is smooth and refined when cruising, but put the foot down and it gloriously gurgles and growls. It provides strong performance and never left lacking. Refinement overall is rather good, with wind and tyre noise kept at bay.
What you get for your money
The Levante comes well specced as standard but, as there is no Maserati dealership in the Republic of Ireland, the price skyrockets when imported. With an estimated imported price of €142,000, this is placing it in direct competition with the likes of the Porsche Macan Turbo and Mercedes-AMG GLC, both of which are significantly cheaper to buy and also over €1,000 a year cheaper to tax.
With a powerful Ferrari-built engine and peachy automatic gearbox, the updated Maserati Levante is good to drive and handles well. However, the high cost of importing one, coupled with the high annual tax, means the Levante just doesn't offer as good value for money as most of its rival high-performance SUVs.

The mayors of Surrey and Langley say they are hopeful a new light rapid transit line is in the works for their communities, based on a letter they received from B.C.'s transportation minister
The mayors received the letter from the Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom this week stating that the province is considering several transit options to link up communities south of the Fraser River.
"We are examining the use of LRT as well as the potential for bus rapid transit and SkyTrain technology to provide frequent, fast and reliable service to communities south of the Fraser River," Minister Lekstrom says in the letter.
But the letter, which was a response to a request from the mayors, provides no funding commitment, timelines or indications about possible routes, saying only that the ministry is working with Metro Vancouver, TransLink and both cities to examine options.
Light rail favoured by mayors
Langley Mayor Peter Fassbender says he believes a light rail transit line linking his community with Surrey could be built within a decade.
Fassbender says it is a critical priority because up to a million people are expected to move to the region south of the Fraser in the next 10 to 15 years.
"I think it's an ongoing opportunity for us to build a system that is going to serve us for the next 20 to 30 years, what we're wanting to do through this process is be ahead of the curve, rather than behind the curve," he said.
Fassbender says a light rail system that runs at grade would be cheaper to build than an elevated SkyTrain line, but it would be more expensive to operate because each train needs an operator.
Mayor Dianne Watts say more transit investment south of the Fraser is long overdue.
"We have been pushing for increased provincial spending on transit in our cities for quite some time, to level the funding inequity both cities are currently experiencing," says Mayor Dianne Watts.
Last year a report recommended a light rail commuter line with 18 stops from Surrey to Chilliwack, B.C., as an inexpensive way to beat traffic congestion in the Fraser Valley.
Watts said Surrey is already exploring three light rail transit routes on its own:
- 104th Avenue, between 152nd & City Centre.
- City Centre to Newton, with an extension to South Surrey.
- Fraser Hwy, between City Centre & Langley.


Location: Thurston County, Washington, population 269,536
The Problem: Adults are reporting low levels of physical activity, and the city has a low Walk Score.
Healthiest Cities & Counties Challenge Approach: Active Design for a Healthier Thurston County addresses a need for better conditions to support physical activity in key areas of the county. The project will include a complete study of walking environments and the identification and implementation of walkability improvements in both the trail system and in nearby dense, low-income neighborhoods. By making these updates, such as new paths and wayfinding signs, the city will see improvements such as increased use of trails, safer trails, and a reduced cost of living from lower transportation costs.

Separations Expert Named William Weightman Walker Professor at Rensselaer
Troy, N.Y. — Chemical and biological engineering professor
Steven Cramer was recently appointed as the William Weightman
Walker Professor of Polymer Engineering at Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute. The endowed professorship, one of the
two oldest such named professorships at Rensselaer, is the
highest honor bestowed on a faculty member.
“With his research and insight, Professor Cramer continues
to raise the bar for Rensselaer faculty and their students,”
said Alan Cramb, dean of Rensselaer’s School of Engineering.
“Steve has a bright future in his new chaired professorship in
the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, and I
thank him for his hard work and dedication.”
Cramer, who served as acting head of Rensselaer’s Isermann
Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering from November
2004 to August 2006, is widely regarded as a worldwide leader
in chromatographic bioprocessing and an expert in separations
Along with being honored by the National Science Foundation
and winning several teaching awards, Cramer is the inaugural
recipient of the Alan S. Michaels Award for the Recovery of
Biological Products, the editor of the journal Separation
Science and Technology, and a fellow of the American
Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.
But he considers his work with doctoral and graduate
students as his most significant accomplishment.
“My former students are major players in the bioprocessing
industry in this country,” Cramer said. “They are doing great
work, enabling companies to come up with more efficient
processes and helping to advance the entire industry. That is
what I’m most proud of.”
Cramer received his undergraduate degree from Brown
University, and went on to earn his master’s degree and
doctorate in chemical engineering at Yale University. He joined
the Rensselaer faculty as an assistant professor in 1986 and in
1990 was named the Isermann Associate Professor of Chemical
Engineering. He became a full professor in 1995.
In the early 1980s, Cramer recognized the potential of the
biotech industry and decided to play a role in the emerging
field. He traces this interest to his father’s multiple
sclerosis. Watching his father suffer, Cramer said, “I knew I
wanted to work in medical-related research.”
“I saw that there would be a tremendous need for people
trained in bioseparations, so I chose that as the topic for my
thesis,” he said.
Cramer’s research focuses on using chromatography and
developing new technology to separate and purify biological
compounds. The resulting discoveries have led not only to a
deeper understanding of chromatography but also to the
development of tools that improve the separation process and,
ultimately, may make new medications possible by finding ways
to separate substances that previously could not be
Before a drug can be injected into the body, it must be
extremely pure — a process that typically requires many
separations, each of which is expensive.
“If we can make the process more efficient and more
economical, we can make drugs more affordable,” Cramer
He and his collaborators are responsible for a major shift
in the field of displacement chromatography and the way that
proteins are purified. Their work has resulted in at least four
patents that have been commercialized and are now being used in
the biotech industry.
Along with his post in the Isermann Department of Chemical
and Biological Engineering, Cramer is a member of the Center
for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies. He said the
interdisciplinary interaction afforded by the center has played
a major role in his research program.
“My approach to research is to try to be as creative as
possible,” he adds. “The way to do that is to collaborate with
others at the intersection of different fields. The CBIS
provides my research group with an unparalleled opportunity for
carry out cutting-edge multidisciplinary biotechnology related

We witness, so to speak, a tense shift in the mimetic in which the literary copy becomes the imitation of something not yet in being. As the philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft argued in her The 1790s 21 Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), Rousseau shows that in the state of nature “all was right originally: a crowd of authors that all is now right; and I, that all will be right” (2004, 23). Under these circumstances, the novel not only represents a state of affairs mimetically, but also envisions counterfactual (utopian/dystopian) possibilities: both things as they are and things as they might be.

What is the single most important factor in preventing infection?
Hand hygiene is considered the single most important factor in the control of infection.
It protects patients and healthcare workers from acquiring microorganisms that may cause them harm..
What medication causes weak immune system?
Immunosuppressant drugs are used to treat autoimmune diseases. With an autoimmune disease, the immune system attacks the body’s own tissue. Because immunosuppressant drugs weaken the immune system, they suppress this reaction.
What makes a person a susceptible host?
Factors that increase the susceptibility of a host to the development of a communicable disease are called risk factors. Some risk factors arise from outside the individual – for example, poor personal hygiene, or poor control of reservoirs of infection in the environment.
What is the most common infection in hospital?
Hospital-acquired infections are caused by viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens; the most common types are bloodstream infection (BSI), pneumonia (eg, ventilator-associated pneumonia [VAP]), urinary tract infection (UTI), and surgical site infection (SSI).
What factors increase the risk of infection?
Having other medical conditions such as diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), autoimmune disease, among others. If you have other medical conditions, ask your doctor if they put you at increased risk for infection. Other factors, such as poor nutrition, stress, or lack of sleep.
What are the factors that influence infection?
Responsible factors include ecological changes, such as those due to agricultural or economic development or to anomalies in climate; human demographic changes and behavior; travel and commerce; technology and industry; microbial adaptation and change; and breakdown of public health measures.
What are the 4 factors that make a person more susceptible to infection?
Life style risk factors such as aging, poor nutrition, infection and exposure to toxicants can also increase susceptibility to illnesses. These life style factors can therefore be considered to cause acquired susceptibility for increased risk for environmental disease.
Who is prone to infections?
pregnant women; infants, and young children particularly under age 2; people of any age with certain chronic health conditions (including asthma or lung disease, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease or some neurological conditions); people with severely compromised immune systems.
What are the three factors that affect the likelihood of infection from a pathogen?
Common pathogen factors are immune evasion, high viral load and low infectious dose.
What is the most important risk factor for developing surgical site infections?
A number of risk factors are known to increase the risk for SSIs, including obesity, advanced age, diabetes mellitus, malnutrition, prolonged preoperative stay, infection at a remote site, duration of surgery, surgery technique, presence of drains, inappropriate use of antimicrobial prophylaxis, perioperative …
What are the 4 main universal precautions?
Standard Precautions apply to 1) blood; 2) all body fluids, secretions, and excretions, except sweat, regardless of whether or not they contain visible blood; 3) non-intact skin; and 4) mucous membranes.
Which of the following factors can influence the emergence or reemergence of infectious diseases?
As we all know, multiple factors, including economic development, climate changes and land use, human demographics and behavior, and international travel and commercial activities, contribute to the emergence and reemergence of infectious diseases (8, 9) .

Roman Catholic Saint, French Military Figure. Born Jehanne d'Arc in the small French village of Domrémy-la-Pucelle in the present day department of the Vosges, she was the 4th of five children born to Jacques d'Arc and Isabelle Romée. Jeanne was devoutly religious as a child, and in early adolescence began having visitations from St. Michael, St. Margaret and St. Catherine. Around age 15 her visions prompted her to seek out Charles, the dauphin of France, and assist him in ascending to the throne. Jeanne rallied the confused armies of France and led them into battle against the English, who for nearly a hundred years had challenged the rulers of France for possession of a large part of the country. The retaking of Orleans began her successful military campaign, which ultimately led Jeanne and Charles to the city of Reims in July 1429 for his coronation as King. The English continued to hold much territory and a series of political intrigues resulted in Jeanne's capture and imprisonment by the enemy. The English enlisted the aid of the corrupt Bishop Cauchon to rid themselves of Jeanne d'Arc, who had the admiration and devotion of all the people of France. After a lengthy trial by a court of inquisition, the Church found Jeanne guilty of heresy and witchcraft, and turned her over to English authorities for execution. Jeanne was burned at the stake in the marketplace of Rouen on the morning of May 30, 1431. She died with her eyes on the cross and the name of Jesus on her lips. The authorities instructed the executioner to scatter Jeanne's ashes to the winds, so there would be no chance of a relic remaining to inspire veneration by the people. Despite repeated attempts to complete the incineration, the executioner found that Jeanne's heart would not burn. He is quoted as saying, "I have burned a Saint!" He scattered her ashes from the ancient bridge, replaced by the Pont Boiëldieu in 1896. There, he threw her heart into the waters of the River Seine, and it became one with the Heart of France. Twenty-five years later, through great effort of her mother and brother, the Church overturned the guilty verdict and cleared her name. Even before canonization, which didn't come until 1920, she was regarded as one of the Patron Saints of France. Jeanne's leadership and martyrdom brought about the end of the Hundred Years War and unified the country of France. The French people consider her their greatest patriot and in many ways the founder of their country. Today a monument in Rouen is inscribed with the words of André Malraux: "O Jeanne, without sepulchre, without portrait, you know that the tomb of heroes is the heart of the living."

Ukraine increases onion exports to Belarus, Romania and Turkey
Topics: UKRAINE BELARUS ROMANIA TURKEY
The reason for the intensification of exports to Belarus was the increased supply of high-quality onions on the Ukrainian market, which has many Ukrainian vegetable growers doubting that prices of onions will increase before the end of the season, east-fruit.com reports.
Prices of onions in Ukraine remained low since July 2020 and are presently the lowest in Europe. At the same time, prices for onion on the Belarusian market increased significantly in March 2021, which made the exports even more attractive. ■

I often see novice mothers asking if their baby’s weight is normal. Too fat or too thin, parents do not have a reference standard. So, for babies of all ages, what kind of weight is normal? You can refer to the following calculation formula to calculate by yourself:
Babies within 6 months: weight (kg) = birth weight (kg) + age × 0.6;
Babies aged 7 ~ 23 months: weight (kg) = birth weight (kg) + age × 0.5;
Babies aged 2 ~ 7: weight (kg) = age × 2 +8.
Generally, it is within the range of standard weight ± standard weight × 10%.
Exceeding [standard weight + standard weight × 20%] is mild obesity;
Exceeding [standard weight + standard weight × 50%] is severe obesity.
Below [standard weight-standard weight × 15%] is mild emaciation;
Below [standard weight-standard weight × 25%] is severe emaciation.
Obesity may damage children’s circulation, respiration, digestion, endocrine, immune and other system organs, and even affect intelligence quotient, behavior, psychology and sexual development. Although fleshy children are cute, parents must learn to control their children’s weight and start scientific feeding from birth.
At the age of 0 ~ 3, You can’t feed too much, Don’t nurse the baby when you see it crying. When the baby grows up, To teach him to slow down to eat, eat less high fat, high starch food and sweets, at the same time let the child develop the habit of exercise. However, it should be noted that some diseases can also cause obesity. Therefore, if the child’s weight does not improve significantly after diet and exercise intervention, he should seek medical treatment in time to find out the reason.
If the baby is underweight, First of all, we should strengthen nutrition. It is suggested to eat a small amount and many Eat about 6 times a day, Breakfast, morning snacks, lunch, afternoon snacks, dinner, snacks before sleep. When the baby’s appetite is poor, Can supplement vitamins and minerals in an appropriate amount. For children over 2 years old, snacks before meals, milk juice and other water intake will also affect appetite. Don’t let children develop the habit of playing while eating, so as not to affect digestion and absorption. In addition, ear infection, asthma, digestive diseases, metabolic disorders and so on should be treated in time.

Actor Kevin Spacey published a blog post Saturday in support of imprisoned Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez and "all of the Venezuelans who peacefully and non-violently claim their right to self-determination and protest."
Spacey wrote that while since the protest began, 1,400 students have been arrested, with widespread reports of torture, while Lopez has continued to urge nonviolence from his jail cell, and the "government has presented no evidence of the charges against him and their legal case is falling apart." He notes that Amnesty International has called the government's case against Lopez a “politically motivated attempts to silence dissent.”
Lopez is facing charges of conspiracy and arson after he turned himself in to authorities following a protest on Feb. 19. The government has accused the protests of being a foreign backed attempt to overthrow the government. Since his arrest, Lopez has managed to send messages to supporters and published an op-ed in the New York Times, but guards recently confiscated a list of questions sent to him by a BuzzFeed reporter.
Spacey had previously tweeted about the crisis in Venezuela in the lead up to the Oscars, using the opposition rallying cries on Twitter "SOSVenezuela" and "PrayforVenezuela." His post on Saturday was titled "SOSVenezuela." He met privately with Hugo Chavez in 2007, though did not speak to the press afterward.
Actor Jared Leto mentioned Venezuela in his Oscar acceptance speech. Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro also has his connections in Hollywood, including well-known Hugo Chavez supporters Danny Glover, Sean Pean and Oliver Stone.

Among carriers, market leader IndiGo is the only one that said it's looking to get staff and family members vaccinated.
To be sure, the Uttar Pradesh vaccination drive is only being conducted at Kanpur airport, not at bigger facilities such as Lucknow or Varanasi. "It is the state governments that are doing it at airports that are in their jurisdiction. So, it is happening at Delhi but not at airports in Hyderabad, Bengaluru or Mumbai for that matter," said a person in the know.
Even at Delhi airport, the process is yet to gain pace, said one person. One airline official said staff details had been sought about a month ago but the authorities hadn't reverted to it. The Delhi government said in its budget on Tuesday that it would vaccinate everyone for free.
The aviation industry had asked the central government to categorise its employees as frontline staff. Aviation secretary Pradeep Singh Kharola had written to the health ministry urging this but the suggestion hasn't been accepted yet.
IndiGo is aiming at covering its employees.
"We are working towards getting the Covid vaccination for our staff in a streamlined manner, so as to ensure all staff get vaccinated without affecting operations," said an IndiGo spokesperson. "Vaccines for our staff will be sponsored by IndiGo and we will help facilitate the same for their families."
Air India, which plied a majority of the Vande Bharat evacuation flights, had been badly hit by Covid infections. A total 1,995 Air India employees, including those deployed as crew on its evacuation flights, had tested positive for Covid-19 until Feb 1. The airline's employee union had demanded that the carrier's staff should be treated as frontline workers and vaccinated first.
India began its mass vaccination drive on January 16, starting with health and frontline workers. It widened this to cover people 60 and above and those 45-59 with comorbidities on March 1.

At it’s bare minimum, nice cream (a.k.a. banana ice cream) can be made with one ingredient, so it’s allergy and special dietary needs-friendly. I’m going to show you my tricks to making the best nice cream, and 3 variations.
I discovered nice cream several years ago, and went on a big, long kick. But then, as most of my obsessions go, it kind of phased out of it. That is, until my pregnancy with my youngest. I was crazy craving ice cream ALL. THE. TIME. I couldn’t afford to go out and buy a pint of Ben and Jerry’s or Haagen Daaz every day, financially or on the scale, so I got back into the frozen banana miracle. And that’s when I got the hang of it. I mean, you learn a thing or two when you’re making the same dish several nights a week.
I mean, have you tried this stuff? It’s so incredibly simple, yet mind-bogglingly yummy. And my kids are especially grateful because we occasionally have ice cream for breakfast. Why not, right?
First of all, use really ripe bananas. Like, ready for banana bread kind of bananas. Peel them and freeze them whole. Once frozen solid, slice them fairly thinly using a serrated knife. Trust me, I’ve almost cut my hand so many times trying to hack away at frozen solid bananas with a chef’s knife.
Second, use a food processor, not a blender. Yes, even a high speed blender. I have a vitamix that I am totally head over heels in love with, and it works, but the shallow base of the food processor is just meant for more solid foods while a blender is meant for more liquid foods. If you want a good, thick, non-runny ice cream, go with the work horse food processor.
And lastly, use fat. Yes, you can absolutely make it without fat, but the bananas really benefit from that lucious texture. In these three recipes I use almond butter, coconut cream, and whole milk yogurt. And they are yum. Enjoy!
- 5 ripe banans, peeled and frozen
- 1/3 cup almond butter
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 cup extra virgin or virgin unrefined coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
- 1/4 pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup smooth almond butter (or other nut or seed butter)
- 2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar, optional
- pinch of sea salt
- Line a square cake pan with parchement paper. Stir together the coconut oil, dutch processed cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond butter, coconut palm sugar (if using), and salt. Pour into the prepared pan and freeze for at least 15 minutes.
- Once the chocolate mixture is frozen, using a serrated knife, slice the frozen bananas into 1/4~1/2 inch slices. Place the banana slices into the bowl of a food processor along with the 1/3 cup almond butter and salt. Pulse until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides and redistribute the mixture several times.
- Break apart the chocolate bark into large chunks and place over the banana mixture. Pulse until combined. serve immediately.
- 3 ripe banans, peeled and frozen
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 3/4 cup plain whole milk yogurt
- Using a serrated knife, slice the bananas into 1/4~1/2 inch slices and place in the bowl of a food processor. Add the strawberries (if using whole strawberries, you might want to cut them into slightly smaller pieces with the serrated knife) and yogurt. Pulse until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides and redistribute the mixture several times. Serve immediately.
- 3 ripe bananas, peeled and frozen
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 can full fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
- Open the can of coconut milk and scoop out the solid coconut cream at the top. Reserve the remaining watery coconut milk for another use such as curry.
- Using a serrated knife, slice the bananas into 1/4~1/2 inch slices and place in the bowl of a food processor. Add the pineapple and coconut cream. Pulse until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides and redistribute the mixture several times. Serve immediately.

Intel and ESL have announced a new partnership that’s extending the pair’s cooperation, and also introducing a $1m Intel Grand Slam.
The Intel Grand Slam is a new event that’ll award $1m to the first Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team that can win four out of the last 10 $200,000 events that are held between Dreamhack and ESL.
During the 10 events, anyone that can defeat a potential Intel Grand Slam winner will also snag themselves $100,000, meaning that if a team has three wins and is in the final for the fourth, an opposing team defeating them will earn themselves $100,000.
It’s a confusing system, but it’ll add a lot of money to the pool for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive teams, giving them the chance to earn serious money.
“We have been one of the very first companies to believe in esports and have supported it for over 15 years,” said Intel CMO Steven Fund in a canned statement.
“This year, we have decided to take our commitment to the next level. We are excited to level-up our partnership with ESL, invest into the development of future esports stars, and create premier events like the Intel Grand Slam.
Intel will also be stepping up their technical partnership. The two company’s have been teaming up for a while now, but now Intel will be acting as ESL’s global technical partner. This means Intel will provide all tournament PC’s, in addition to technology for streaming. This partnership will extend to ESL’s majors, but also their amateur and grassroots events.


Ranfurly was originally and is now still the main service centre for the Maniototo,
but is becoming increasingly well know for its Art Deco buildings, these were built in the 1930’s,
when the town went through a rapid development and many have now been restored
to their former glory.
Each February a Rural Art Deco Festival is held, this brings many visitors to the town
to enjoy the Jazz Bands, entertainment and jazz themed activities.
The Railway Station has been turned into a Display Centre showcasing the history of the town
and this is well worth a visit.
Also the Otago Central Rail Trail has brough new life to the town,
as many will stop off during the cycling or walking of the rail trail.

After increasing water intake and replacing electrolytes, it should relieve most all symptoms of Keto Flu. For an average person that is starting a ketogenic diet, eating 20-30g of net carbs a day, the entire adaptation process will take about 4-5 days. My advice is to cut your carbs to fewer than 15g to ensure that you are well on your way into ketosis within one week. If you are experiencing any more keto flu symptoms, double check your electrolyte intake and adjust.
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain function. However, if there is little carbohydrate in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood, a state known as ketosis, leads to a reduction in the frequency of epileptic seizures. Almost half of children and young people with epilepsy who have tried some form of this diet saw the number of seizures drop by at least half, and the effect persists even after discontinuing the diet. There is some evidence that adults with epilepsy may benefit from the diet, and that a less strict regimen, such as a modified Atkins diet, is similarly effective. The most common adverse effect is constipation, affecting about 30% of patients—this was due to fluid restriction, which was once a feature of the diet, but this led to increased risk of kidney stones and is no longer considered beneficial.
I am vegan and have tried to go keto in the past and failed due to lack of information. Before purchasing I messaged the author and asked if there were vegan recipes other than "dessert or snack type" foods and she told me that 42% of the recipes were either vegan or had an option to be made vegan. I LOVE this book! Though it does not include a meal plan for vegans specifically, the amount of information included in the book allowed me to create my own vegan keto meal plan. It also has a lot of helpful advice on how to deal with issues that may arise as your body transitions from sugar burning to fat burning. This book is so easy to read that it makes it possible for anyone to be keto!
The least intrusive weight loss methods, and those most often recommended, are adjustments to eating patterns and increased physical activity, generally in the form of exercise. The World Health Organization recommended that people combine a reduction of processed foods high in saturated fats, sugar and salt and caloric content of the diet with an increase in physical activity.

Are you trying to shed those extra kilos? The ketogenic diet is a low carb diet, moderate in protein and high in healthy fats. The primary goal of the ketogenic diet is weight loss. The diet helps to bring your body into a metabolic state which is known as the ketosis. Ketosis occurs when the body has run out of its glycogen (which is basically sugar) stores so it needs to find another source of fuel. When this occurs your liver begins to process fat into ketones which become the body's main fuel source. Some of the foods that one can enjoy on a keto diet are avocado, cheese, sour cream, Greek yoghurt, chicken, fatty fish and full-fat milk. Just like every coin has two sides, in the similar way every diet has some pros and cons. The following article will explore some of the advantages and disadvantages of this fad diet, keto diet.
Appetite-suppressant drugs and other diet pills:"Wonder" products that permanently reduce weight do not exist. Products that promise immediate or effortless weight loss will not work in the long run. Appetite suppressants, which often contain a stimulant like caffeine or hoodia, are associated with side effects including nausea, nasal dryness, anxiety, agitation, dizziness, insomnia and elevated blood pressure. Alli reduces fat absorption; following the package directions will reduce risk of side effects, which may include oily diarrhea and anal discharge. With any product, side effects may be worse if you exceed the recommended dosage.
"With all the different tips out there, it can be tricky to understand exactly which exercises work the best. HIIT is great for fat burning and will get your heart rate up, but I’d also recommend including strength (resistance) exercises too. Try lifting weights, using resistance bands or using the weight machines at the gym as these will increase your metabolism to help with weight loss, and increase your muscle strength. It’s important to mix-up your whole-body workouts so you don’t get bored."
“Crash diets, also called meal-replacement programs, have become increasingly fashionable in the past few years,” said lead author Dr. Jennifer Rayner, Oxford Centre for Magnetic Resonance, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK. “The metabolic improvements with a very low-calorie diet, such as a reduction in liver fat and reversal of diabetes, would be expected to improve heart function. Instead, heart function got worse in the first week before starting to improve.”
Finally, lunch on day 3 is very light, consisting of only toast and an egg. You still get a small amount of protein from the egg as well as a smattering of vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin A, D, B-6 and B-12, and iron, all from the egg. You’ve now received an overview of the functions of all of these vitamins except for Vitamin D- which helps the body absorb calcium (1).
The diet claims to be “one of the best natural diets.” They recommend that dieters avoid artificial sweeteners because they “aren’t good for you.” But then the site goes on to include foods like hot dogs and crackers in the daily meal plans. These are foods that are heavily processed and contain ingredients that have been associated with an increased risk of cancer and heart disease.
The ketogenic diet reduces seizure frequency by more than 50% in half of the patients who try it and by more than 90% in a third of patients. Three-quarters of children who respond do so within two weeks, though experts recommend a trial of at least three months before assuming it has been ineffective. Children with refractory epilepsy are more likely to benefit from the ketogenic diet than from trying another anticonvulsant drug. There is some evidence that adolescents and adults may also benefit from the diet.
In the UK, up to 5% of the general population is underweight, but more than 10% of those with lung or gastrointestinal diseases and who have recently had surgery. According to data in the UK using the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool ('MUST'), which incorporates unintentional weight loss, more than 10% of the population over the age of 65 is at risk of malnutrition. A high proportion (10-60%) of hospital patients are also at risk, along with a similar proportion in care homes.
What should you eat after working out? Exercise is beneficial for overall health. To get the most effective exercise, it is necessary to have good nutrition. There is a range of things to eat right after a workout that will help in specific fitness goals. It is also essential to eat to recover energy levels. Learn more about what to eat after a workout.

There’s a large spectrum of where people can fall on a vegetarian diet: For example, vegans consume no animal products, whereas ovo-lacto vegetarians eat both dairy and eggs. The eating style may help with weight loss, suggests a review published in August 2017 in Nutrients, but some vegans and vegetarians may become deficient in specific nutrients, such as calcium, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, according to an article published in December 2017 in Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases.

Nope — and it’s not the diet’s only name. Some know it by the Navy diet, the Army diet, or even the ice cream diet, since the three day menu allots for at least a few bites of vanilla ice cream each evening. Personally, we like to think that it’s called the military diet because it takes military-level self-control to stick to the restrictive meal plan.
When you are on a carbohydrate-rich diet, your body can store up to 1600-2000 calories worth of energy in muscles, blood and in the liver. Once these are depleted, you are out of fast energy sources. Now, when you are running on the keto diet, you are fueled by ketone bodies. This means you are using fat as the main energy source. And you don’t run low on blood glucose.
I've learned that if I am around food for long enough, I will eat it. It doesn’t matter if I am hungry or if the food even looks good; I'll just start nibbling out of habit. When my husband would get home late from work, I would typically eat a dinner by myself and then eat more with him when he got home. I tried to sit with him at the table and not eat, but eventually, I would start picking at his plate. Over time, I realized that I needed to sit either across the table or on a nearby couch to avoid the thoughtless habit. He didn’t mind either way and moving away from the food actually allowed me to focus more on him.

Senate Democrats’ top messaging strategist predicted Monday that the deficit Super Committee will fail to meet its required minimum target of $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction.
“I don’t think the Super Committee is going to succeed because our Republican colleagues have said ‘no net revenues,’” said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on MSNBC. “When Democrats move too far left, we lose. We’re now — the basic mainstream of Democrats…we’re willing to move to the middle,” Schumer said. “They are not willing to do any revenues.”
Schumer’s the highest ranking member of either party to publicly predict the panel will fail. And his argument is perfectly well founded. Democrats have been explicit for weeks that they’ll entertain some of the unpopular cuts to programs like Medicare and Social Security that Republicans want — but only if the GOP ponies up significant new revenue from high-income tax payers. Republicans so far have refused.
This all makes perfect sense, and unless Republicans offer up a huge concession (bigger than even Democrats are asking for) on taxes, I hope he's right. Unfortunately there's still plenty of time for him to be wrong, and if I had $1 for every time a prediction like this turned out to be wrong (for example, "make no mistake ... there will be a public option"), I'd have Sean Hannity begging for the opportunity to lick my boots.
