Very interesting. That did make for a tighter shot. Sometimes more is not necessarily better.
Sometimes less is more. Might could even have lost another shot in there.
No, I don't think loosing the guy in the cab was better. I thought it made it worse.
He adds context and a certain rhythm to the edit. The fall has an anticipatory moment – a brief second of "why am I watching this guy in the cab while something dramatic is going on" sort of tension.
Without it, its feels like "wham bam thank you ma'am". The fall lacks any sort of weight or consequence.
I agree with John. I think that the cab driver should have stayed.
Yeah, the shot of the cabbie creates a couple seconds of "Wtf? Why am I looking at this cabbie? Did the editor eff up? Oh wait! That dude is under them! Cabbie noooooooo!!! Oh…you're ok. Whew!"
I agree John, the cab made the audience wonder will he be hurt because he doesn't know whats about to happen? But I like cutting out some of the extra takes
yep, you need the cab driver to get some more tension into the scene. maybe it also makes it a little bit funny but all in all its more spectacular. without it , it would be a boring 90s
the more i read, the more it reminds of this joke…….How many Directors does it take to change a light bulb? one and 99 million talking about how they would have done it different.
the picture's fine, he broke rules, better….and more importantly……I wish i had been paid his salary to make those same judgements

Identity of Beltrami toddler missing 29 years is stolen
BEMIDJI, Minn. (AP) — A Beltrami County sheriff's investigator says a Michigan man suspected of stealing the identity of a toddler missing for 29 years is not a suspect in the child's disappearance.
Investigator Scott Hinners is re-examining the Kevin Jay Ayotte case from 1982. The 3-year-old disappeared from his family home in Sugar Bush Township in eastern Beltrami County. Hinners says the boy's mother went outside to hang up some laundry and when she returned her son was gone.
Hinners recently discovered the identity theft while running names from the case file through investigative databases. And he found the suspect was living in the same area as the child's parents in Michigan. The Bemidji Pioneer (http://bit.ly/kcV83i) says that after interviewing the parents and the man who admitted stealing the identity, Hinners determined it was a coincidence that they were all living in the same area.

In her new book, Upgrade, Rana Florida aims to provide readers with the tools to achieve success in work and life. It gathers best practices from CEOs and other business executives, as well as entrepreneurs, innovative thinkers and creative leaders. This passage is from the chapter titled The Power of We.
Diversity is the key to a successful collaboration. Bringing together a creative mix of backgrounds sparks new innovations and discoveries.
When I asked Dr. (John) Noseworthy about the Mayo Clinic's take on diversity, he said, "Bringing together great minds from a spectrum of backgrounds has always been crucial to our mission. Our diversity allows us to accelerate innovation and solve problems faster. Ultimately, it fuels the medical discoveries that lead to better care for our patients and people around the world.
"To drive innovation to meet their changing needs, we nurture an environment in which our physicians, scientists, and staff can use their unique backgrounds and perspectives to tackle important problems. Collectively, their diverse perspectives enhance our productivity and help us better meet the needs of our increasingly diverse patients.
"Yet as a goal or strategy, diversity is not enough. Inclusion, or creating a workplace where each member of our staff feels valued and empowered, is crucial."
Think about what happens when five people of similar background, age, sexuality, race, religion, education, and profession sit around a table to offer their perspectives on a new initiative. It is likely that they will reach consensus very quickly. Then think about having five completely diverse people sit around the same table, discussing the same thing. Instead of five 30-year-old executives who went to the same university and grew up in the same neighborhood, imagine that there are five people who vary greatly in ages, from young to old, who are black and white, French and Turkish, gay and straight, Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Buddhist, and atheist. I imagine that the conversation would be much more interesting, heated, engaged, and eye-opening. When different perspectives interact, you're much more likely to learn something new.
Mario Batali was recently interviewed in the New York Times column "Corner Office." The headline read, "In Mario Batali's Kitchen, You Will Refrain from Shouting." "One of the most important things," he said, "is realizing you're not the most important or the most intelligent person in the room at all times." Surprisingly, Batali told me he'd learned this important life lesson by listening to my husband talk passionately about cities when they were college students together at Rutgers. "Understanding that is a crucial component of the kind of self-deprecation that makes someone really good at understanding other people, especially when they're faced with their own limitations and they come to you for help. It's about being able to empathize and understand and communicate, even under stress, in a way that helps them solve a problem, as opposed to becoming part of the problem. The first day that a chef believes that he or she knows everything is the first day for the rest of their life that they will be a jerk, because you can't know everything about our field."
Collaboration in work and in life is about listening, lending a hand, and learning when to step in and when to step back. When I asked Tim Brown of IDEO what he looked for in his team members, he answered in detail. "From a skills perspective, we look for depth and diversity," he said. "Sometimes this is described as T-shaped: people who have depth of 'craft' in a discipline such as design, business, engineering, or the social sciences, but who also have a breadth of perspective and an insatiable appetite to cross disciplines and collaborate. In terms of traits, we look for people with empathy (because it is hard to design for others if you are not interested in understanding them), with creative imagination, with a drive to make ideas real rather than merely speculating about them, and, finally, with storytelling skills, because new ideas rely on great storytelling to get out into the world successfully."
Collaboration rests on the premise that you believe you can learn by listening to others, that everyone on your team has something to contribute. Give this experiment a try. Approach someone you would never think to approach about a problem or initiative you have at work that you are trying to sort through. Ask your mother, for instance, or someone from outside the industry. Ask someone from a different country; ask an eight-year-old. Jot down their answers and see if you learned anything. See if you gained a new perspective on the situation by getting a broad range of inputs.
In their book Becoming a Life Change Artist, Fred Mandell and Kathleen Jordan help readers connect with their own creativity and build on their innate talents to create a more fulfilled and satisfying life by examining the creative processes of great artists such as Henri Matisse, Vincent van Gogh, Leonardo da Vinci, Willem de Kooning, Frida Kahlo, and Georgia O'Keeffe, among others.
Their list of four important outcomes of personal collaboration, I believe, provides an excellent summary on the benefits of collaboration:
Bridge to new networks
Collaboration with others helps bridge us into new networks that facilitate change.
Better decisions
As powerful and inventive as our minds are, they work within the boundaries of our own backyards, but when we collaborate with others, we extend our boundaries. We see how others have arranged their gardens. We benefit from their perspective and creativity. Collaboration is a source of fresh ideas, which in turn get us to better solutions.
Emotional support
Life change has its good days and bad days. Change even has its very painful days. Sometimes we have the sense that time is moving much too slowly, and other times we feel that events are getting the better of us. Collaborating with others provides not only practical support in figuring out how to navigate change but the emotional support to remain afloat during the tough times.
Sometimes support for personal change comes in the form of being accountable to others for things we say we will do but let slip. Change never follows a straight line, but true collaborative partners will call us on those slips.

The MBTA, BostonSues MIT students who discovered security flawYoung computer jocks announce they've discovered a security flaw in a piece of software. What should executives at the software company do?
The normal reaction would be to reach out to them and work to patch the flaw as quickly as possible. But normality is an elusive concept at the MBTA. So when three MIT students said last August that they were going to deliver a presentation on problems with the CharlieCard at a conference in Las Vegas known as DEFCON, the MBTA went to federal court.
As MIT's student newspaper, the Tech, understatedly put it, "The lawsuit surprised many DEFCON attendees, who are accustomed to relatively cordial relations with software companies who are informed of security holes."
In a confluence of Muzzles past, the T, which won a 2006 Muzzle for banning photographers from taking pictures of its facilities (terrorism, you know), was granted a temporary restraining order against the students by US District Court judge Douglas Woodlock, winner of a 2005 Muzzle for approving a protest pen at the previous year's Democratic National Convention, despite likening it to a "concentration camp."
Fortunately, reason ultimately prevailed. Another federal district judge, George O'Toole, lifted the gag order on the students, whose work had earned them an "A" on a class project. The lawsuit was dropped. And by December, the students were meeting with MBTA officials to discuss how to prevent hackers from using the CharlieCard to ride the T for free.
"This is a great opportunity for both the MBTA and the MIT students," said T general manager Dan Grabauskas. "As we continue to research ways to improve the fare system for our customers, we appreciate the cooperative spirit demonstrated by the MIT students."
It took way too long, though, for Grabauskas and company to show the same cooperative spirit.

Home > Research & Publications > Research Central > HKS Research Administration Policies & Resources > HKS Cost Sharing Basics
Any quantifiable cost (mandatory or voluntary) offered in a proposal becomes a legally binding and accountable commitment of the University upon acceptance of an award.
Federal regulations require full accountability for costs committed in the fulfillment of sponsored programs. Cost Accounting Standards require that costs proposed on a sponsored application be accumulated and reported on completely and accurately. This includes expenses not borne directly by the sponsor.
Cost sharing is defined as any project cost not borne by the sponsor, whether it be the expenditure of University or third-party funds, to support the scope of work defined by a sponsored award (both federal and non-federal awards). There are two types of cost-sharing:
1. University Cost Sharing: This occurs when project costs are not borne by the sponsor, but are paid for from University funds using gift, endowment, or other non-sponsored sources, as represented by the 000001-054999 and 300000-699999 fund ranges.
An example of University Cost Sharing would be if a proposal states that "Professor X will oversee the project and devote 7% his time to this effort, which will be covered by other funding sources" and the other funding source is an unrestricted endowment account.
2. Sponsored Cost Sharing: This occurs when cost sharing commitments are met using existing sponsored grants and contracts at Harvard. Usually non-federal sponsored grants are used, as represented by the 200000-299999 fund range.
An example of Sponsored Cost Sharing would be if your proposal states that "Professor X will oversee the project and devote 7% his time to this effort, which will be covered by other funding sources" and the other funding source is a nonfederal sponsored fund.
Please note that Harvard discourages cost sharing commitments because such commitments burden Harvard with financial and administrative responsibilities, while limiting the academic and programmatic flexibility that University resources are intended to provide. Cost sharing requires the maintenance of detailed records that are subject to audit, and cost sharing has the potential to affect negotiated indirect cost rates adversely.
Cost sharing forms should be submitted at proposal submission, but are required at award notification before an award can be set up. Please contact RAO and/or your OSP representative to ensure that all appropriate documentation is submitted.
Cost sharing commitments can be met using direct or indirect costs that are allowable, allocable, reasonable, and consistently accounted for by the University. The best type of expenses to cost share are direct expenses such as lab supplies, equipment items that do not meet the capitalization threshold, and travel. All cost sharing must be in compliance with the following:
There are certain items that are not recommended for cost sharing.
Yes. Expenses incurred to meet cost sharing commitments bring the same accounting, financial, legal, and regulatory burdens as costs on Harvard sponsored programs. Therefore, cost sharing requires the maintenance of detailed records. School and department officials are responsible for regular monitoring of cost sharing commitments throughout the grant period.
A companion account is an account that records cost shared expenses. It is created by using a sponsored activity value with a non-sponsored fund.
An example of the use of a companion account is as follows:
You have a federal award whose main account has fund 123456, activity 234567, and subactivity 0001. Your cost shared expenses will be charged to the non-sponsored account with fund 000123, with the same sponsored activity/subactivity combination (234567-0001). Therefore, your companion account coding would be Tub-Org-Object-000123-234567-0001-Root.
At reporting stage and/or award close-out, OSP will contact the department/center to obtain a GL Detail Listing Report for all cost sharing transactions using sponsored and/or non-sponsored funds for the reporting period. Since all cost-shared expenditures must be verifiable from University records, the use of companion accounts allows for easy identification of cost shared expenses.
Companion accounts are required for all university cost shared direct expenses (see definition of University Cost Sharing above. Tracking expenses via companion accounts is not possible, however, with Sponsored Cost Sharing because it is not valid in Harvard's General Ledger to use a sponsored activity with a different sponsored fund value. In these instances, the department/center must track the cost sharing manually.
Yes. Salaries for faculty and staff that are cost shared must follow effort reporting and salary certification guidelines. Cost shared faculty expenses are already included in the current annual effort reporting processes. Changes to the monthly salary certification process will follow and notification will be included at a later date.
If a project includes a requirement for cost sharing, it is important that the account be monitored closely to ensure that the PI meets those requirements. If there is a concern that s/he will be unable to meet the committed amount, the sponsor must be contacted as soon as possible to request a budget modification or an amendment to the award.
Your OSP representative, RAO, and/or OFS should be involved in this communication. If you have not met the cost sharing requirements, and the sponsor is unwilling to renegotiate the award, the project is at risk of being deemed non-compliant by the sponsor and may force us to return the funding. In addition, funds charged to the sponsored project, may need to be moved to the companion account as the cost sharing commitment must be met before the sponsored commitment is met.
Yes, cost-shared expenses are auditable and follow the same guidelines regarding retaining documentation as sponsored awards.
For more information about auditing sponsored awards, please refer to: http://vpf-web.harvard.edu/osp/managing_an_award/auditing.php?expandable=3.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
With the government shutdown entering its second week, it's widely believed that the House has enough Republican votes to pass a government spending bill with no strings attached, if Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) were to actually bring this measure to the floor. But even if Panda Cam gets turned back on again (with the rest of the in-hibernation government), the country will still run out of money to pay its bills on October 17, unless Congress agrees to raise the debt ceiling. The consequences of failing to raise the debt limit are far graver than shutting down the government, potentially causing a default that could lead to a global financial catastrophe and another recession. Mother Jones surveyed the House Republican caucus, emailing the offices of over 200 lawmakers and digging through public statements, to gauge which lawmakers would support a bill to raise the debt ceiling without any unrelated demands. Here's the full list of every Republican we found who was publicly favorable to the idea:
1. Rep. Ed Whitfield (R-Ky.)
In an interview with E&E Publishing on October 4, Whitfield said, "For myself, I'd just like a clean debt ceiling. I'm working with Democrats in the Senate, and I don't want to get tied up in a big argument about the debt ceiling and everything else." Whitfield is the chief backer of a plan that would erode the Environmental Protection Agency's power to regulate emissions, and he was specifically talking about leaving the climate change debate out of debt ceiling negotiations (right now, the GOP's draft debt ceiling bill contains a host of energy-related demands). Elana Schor, the reporter who interviewed Whitfield, said he made this comment within the context of discussing environmental riders, but she believes he was referring to an entirely clean bill. Mother Jones contacted Whitfield's office to confirm that he was indeed in favor of boosting the debt ceiling without trying to extract concessions from the Obama administration. His office did not respond.
And…that's it.
Whitfield is the only House Republican Mother Jones could find who appeared to support raising the debt ceiling without additional demands, though a few other GOPers have hinted that they'd rather not enter into this high-stakes game of chicken. Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.), who is among the two dozen or so members of his caucus who has said he would vote for a clean budget resolution, said in August that the debt ceiling bill should be divorced from the acrimonious budgeting process, but he stopped short of endorsing a clean debt hike. Rep. James Lankford (R-Okla.) told the Hill on Thursday that he wanted to see a compromise that would curb long term spending, but he added, "I don't think there's energy in the Republican conference to have any kind of default." On Monday, Sens. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) became the first Republicans in the upper chamber to endorse a clean debt ceiling vote.
House GOPers' reasons for opposing a clean debt ceiling boost vary. Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) believes that default would actually be a good thing for the global economy, because "it would bring stability to the global markets." Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.) says the notion that the United States could default is a myth. But many GOP House members are holding out because they view the historically routine vote as an opportunity to force the president to negotiate over a host of issues. A sample list of what GOP lawmakers are looking for in exchange for keeping America from defaulting on its debt, released by the House Republican leadership last month, included everything from rolling back regulations on coal ash to ending net neutrality.
For the most part, the handful of offices that responded to Mother Jones' survey ducked the question. In a statement, Rep. John Campbell (R-Calif.) rejected the premise entirely: "I will not answer this survey, or any other survey on future action in the House, until a survey is first published reflecting the views of Members of the Senate on all the bills to fund the government already passed by the House and currently waiting on Majority Leader Reid's desk." Brad Jones, spokesman for Rep. Robert Pittenger (R-N.C.) offered that his boss "encourages Senate Democrats to rejoin the normal legislative process." Barbara Riley, spokeswoman for Rep. Ander Crenshaw (R-Fla.), replied simply: "…letting this one go."

Preventative Conservation
An important element in the long term survival of a museum collection is the environment they are kept in both for storage and display.
Relative Humidity
Sensors are set up in the galleries and stores to monitor the relative humidity and temperature. It is important for the objects that the moisture in the air is kept at a constant level to prevent expansion and contraction of the materials. A high moisture level will increase levels of corrosion and cause mould growth whilst low levels will cause organic materials to become brittle and crack.
The UV content of light damages objects. It not only fades colours but can destroy the structure of materials such as textiles, leather, paper and lacquer. Maintaining low light levels helps preserve the collection.
Air pollution can be a problem from sources such as car exhaust fumes, power stations, industry and even humans! We use filters to remove both gases and particles.
Pest Control
Insects cause damage to organic materials. New objects coming into the museum are held in a quarantine zone until they are checked and if necessary treated for insect infestations. Only if they are clear will they be allowed into contact with the rest of the collection. To monitor the collection, traps are placed round the museum to alert us if a problem arises.
Material testing
Everything that is used to make up a showcase may give off gases that will react with the objects to cause deterioration. We can test all the materials such as paint, fabric, backboards and floorboards. We take a sample of the material and place it inside a sealed jar with coupons of copper, silver and lead.
The jar has a small amount of water in the base and it is heated in an oven for a month to accelerate the ageing of the material. By looking at how the metal coupons change we can determine the extent of damage the material may cause. Comparing the coupons to the control shows just how much damage can be caused by the material being tested.

So recently the store began a Final Fantasy Pre-Order option. I bought Final Fantasy XIV Collector Edition. Fillied with joy I find the upcoming question compelling. When and how do we get our rewards. So far upon download I got a theme and the beta but it's supposed to come with a mount, minion, etc. . . How do we get our rewards ( i.e E-Mail, PSN message, automatic download)
If the answer is E-mail the I have a follow up question.
I changed my E-mail address on my PSN sign in, will all e-mails be forwarded to the changed email?

Breaking Bread
We're moving at a fast pace! We grab our food, chat with friends, and then we're off. Between classes, projects, and our commitments, we deserve a calm dinner with our professors and the chance to engage in deeper conversations. The Breaking Bread program is designed to host that meal for CC students by faculty and staff in their homes. Breaking Bread is a time to slow down and enjoy getting to know our campus community.
If you have the opportunity to take part in a Breaking Bread, please don't hesitate. You won't regret the experience. One of the aspects that set a liberal arts education apart from other experiences is the opportunity to spend time with professors outside of the classroom. The Student Life Office supports this program by supporting the faculty and staff who host these dinners.
Information is available for faculty and staff who are interested in getting involved.

Originally posted on Phillies Nation | Last updated 11/21/12
Figgins seemed to lose himself while playing in Seattle. Could relocating to Philadelphia get his career back on track? Photo: AP With Chone Figgins being designated for assignment by the Mariners yesterday, all signs point to the once productive player hitting the free agent market. Ian Riccaboni and I sat down to discuss whether Figgins might be an option worth exploring for the Phillies. I say yes. Now, I know what you're thinking: Chone Figgins?! This guy can't be serious! And that's an understandable reaction. Because, let's be honest, Figgins has been unequivocally bad the last two years–that's why he got designated for assignment in the first place. But, assuming he clears waivers–and all signs indicate that he will–I do believe Ruben Amaro, Jr. should at least put in a call to Tommy Tanzer, Figgins's agent. Should that conversation go well, and there doesn't seem to be any major interest from other teams for the services of the once highly-touted infielder, then Amaro should tender him an offer. Nothing huge. In fact, it should be a minor league deal with an invite to spring training at most. At this point, you're probably ready to pull your hair out. You're asking questions like, 'Why would the Phillies waste their time on this guy?' and 'What's the point?' The point is this: The Phillies desperately need to find a third baseman for next year and the market for that particular position is barren. The prospect of Kevin Youkilis–an aging player on the downside of his career who is likely to get more years and money than he's worth–doesn't exactly thrill me, and he's probably the best third baseman on the market. The dearth of readily available talent at the hot corner, coupled with the fact that the team will have to allocate funds to multiple other positions, forces Amaro to get creative in finding a solution at third. Much like he did last offseason when searching for a left fielder, Amaro needs to exhaust every avenue and give himself and Charlie Manuel multiple options to fill that hole. Here's the other thing. I can't believe that Figgins has regressed this much in just two year's time. He's gone from a perennial 3.5 WAR player to a -1.0 WAR player. Something about that doesn't add up. Obviously players see their skills dissipate with age, but Figgins is only 34. He's not exactly an old man. Just a written off one. He's also battled injuries the last two seasons, appearing in 81 and 66 games, respectively. Not to mention he was victimized by the extremely low BABIP of .215 in 2011 and .237 in 2012. These are all things out of the player's control. I see Figgins as a low risk, high reward-type guy. The Phillies shouldn't put all of their eggs in the Figgins basket, but they should give him a chance. Where's the harm in a minor league deal? Should he prove to be as bad as he has played the last two seasons, the Phils can cut him in Spring Training and be done with it. But if he shows Manuel and the coaching staff something in Spring Training, he could become a productive player at a very low cost. Fans with their doubts about taking a flier on a forgotten man need to look no further than last season, when the Phillies took a chance on Juan Pierre and he became a solid contributor. Could Figgins work out the same way? There's no way of knowing. But it's certainly worth a shot. Now here's Ian Riccaboni to tell you why I'm nuts: Figgins signed a four-year deal with the Mariners after being heavily courted by the Mets, Cubs, White Sox, and the Phillies following a career year with the Angels. Figgins posted a line of .298/.395/.393 with five home runs and 42 steals in 59 attempts, playing top-notch defense at third and playing suitable defense at second. Since signing that deal, Figgins has gone from potential bargain to disappointment to disaster. Figgins turns only 35 in January but his skillset has deteriorated at a pace expected for a player on the other side of 40. Everything about his lines and injury history say stay away: Figgins was limited to just 313 and 194 PA in 2011 and 2012, posting lines of .188/.241/.243 and .181/.262/.271 with SB totals of 11 and 4. His defense, once among his biggest assets, is now a liability, costing the Mariners approximately 18 runs over his three years there. Don't get me wrong: I am as surprised as anybody that such a promising player as Figgins had such a car-crash ending to a mega-contract. The Mariners designated him for assignment yesterday and he will get a second chance. If he clears waivers, which he will, and the Phillies can invite him to Spring Training, he would be an intriguing bench piece. But he is a definite no to me for the 2013 Phillies roster.

- - Traction and ABS lights help (http://www.impalaforums.com/chevy-impala-7th-gen-discussion/341400-traction-and-abs-lights-help.html)
Traction and ABS lights help
So I'm down in Florida picking up a 2002 impala with 40,000 on it. I have no way to read codes. The traction control is off and the ABS light is on. When you start the car it says service traction control system.
Can anyone make an educated guess for me?
the wiring harness
bad sensor (requires wheel hub replacement. since the sensor is not a replaceable part)
Bad sensor is a very common issue replacement is $80 to $150 depending on where you go.
Likely a bad sensor as mentioned. The traction control and abs are pretty much one in the same and use the same sensors to do their business.
It's completely safe to drive without the TCS or ABS.
Sent from AutoGuide.com Free App
Thanks. I can change hubs. If I use the scan tool when I get home will it tell me which hub?
My car has the same lights on. I took it to pep boys and they said I should take it to the dealer. They couldn't pinpoint the exact cause but scanned the codes and came up with:
c1216 ebcm, c1218 abs pump motor, c1221 If wheel speed sensor, c1222rf wheel speed sensor, c1226 rf wheel speed sensor, c1233 rf wheel speed sensor, c1245 low tire pressure....basically they said it may be a wiring issue or possible bad ebcm.
I honestly haven't fixed it's been about 5 months. It drives fine. The lights are annoying though.
Pretty much the same thing as 05LS And, yeah the lights and bells are annoying..anyway to override that?
Assuming you still have the useful factory radio installed
1. Turn Ignition on and turn radio off Very important not to start the engine or this will not work.
2. Press and hold DISPLAY on the radio until SETTINGS is displayed.
3. Use SEEK , scroll until TIRE MON appears
4. Press Prev or Next till RESET is displayed.
5. Press SEEK button.
6 Exit
Traction control is just electronic controlled differential .
off is not locked( depending on manufacture setting)
on limited slip variable electronic controlled.
ABS prevents the breaks from locking up when you press them hard. This helps the car stop faster.
both traction control & ABS use the sensor(s).
Yes it will. If it does not you could just search the code on the internet.
I also had this same problem. If the pump and ebcm codes show up your ignition switch is likely at fault. I just hope the faulty ignition switch didn't take out your ebcm (brake control module) and abs pump. It did on mine. Common problem. When an ignition switch starts to fail it send spikes of voltage to various components and can burn them up. I would get it fixed ASAP before it creates big problems like I had.
To be honest it sounds like you guys are already too late and your ebcm is done for.
A local dealer replaced my EBCM, Ignition switch, and cylinder for a wopping $1,250. It's not something you can do yourself. You could but the ebcm is $500-700 alone, ignition switch and cylinder is around $100, along with a "dealer only" abs brake setup of about $100 or so. You can only bleed the abs system of brake fluid with a tech 2 scanner.
Edit: If you have abs sensor codes along WITH the abs pump and ebcm do NOT just go and replace hubs. The fault is likely at the ebcm, pump, or ignition switch. You WILL be replacing the wrong parts and wasting money. When an EBCM fails and throws codes, so will your abs sensors.
Read codes when I came home today and the only code I got was 0420 for the cat/02 sensor. I assume that I need to go somewhere and have codes read now for the traction and ABS. I'll try my local autozone first I guess. I did the scan with the car not running and the ign on. Any other suggestions to pull codes?
alot of readers wont pick up abs or body codes.
Just got back from Autozone, DS front hub sensor
^^ Check wires and connector first.
If you do not mind how much was the impala?
^^ Huh? 1400 to fix what?
$1400 is for a factory replacement , replacement cost is depending on the state emissions requirements. Some states require factory emissions equipment, other wise it's automatic fail.

North Shore Mayor Andrew Williams has hit back over revelations of his late-night "obnoxious" texts to John Key, implying the Prime Minister is thin-skinned and that he himself is the victim of "tall poppy syndrome".
Mr Key had described texts from Mr Williams as "aggressive" and "obnoxious". They were sometimes sent as late as 3.30am.
Yesterday, Mr Williams released a statement saying he took issue with Mr Key's description of his texts as "aggressive".
"Politicians need to have thick skins and I certainly get plenty of pointed messages, texts and emails on different subjects but that goes with the territory."
The mayor said he had seen Mr Key several times recently and the Prime Minister had not mentioned any concerns.
"Might have been nice if he said something to my face if he had any issues with me."
Mr Williams said he also texted other Cabinet ministers, including the three North Shore-based MPs - Wayne Mapp (North Shore), Jonathan Coleman (Northcote) and Murray McCully (East Coast Bays).
Dr Mapp said he had received many texts from Mr Williams and agreed they could be aggressive in tone.
"The Prime Minister is entirely accurate. I know that Andrew feels strongly about issues. Let us put it this way, if you receive a text that is largely in capital letters with multiple exclamation marks, you are reasonably confident that the person sending it is feeling particularly aggrieved about the point."
He sometimes replied to Mr Williams, "but not in the same style, I hasten to add".
"Invariably there are some substantive points he is trying to make, although he might put it in a colourful manner. So I sometimes send a message back or ring him."
While Dr Mapp did not recall what times the messages had arrived, he had noticed some at unusual hours.
One of Mr Williams' opponents is Cam Slater, known as the blogger Whaleoil, who yesterday posted recordings of messages Mr Williams allegedly left on the answerphone of former North Shore Mayor George Wood.
In those, Mr Williams asks Mr Wood to call him, saying he has had two years of listening to Mr Wood's "diatribes" and reading his letters to the editor and "would like to have it out with you in full".
In other messages, he tells Mr Wood to "get on with being former mayor" and says he is an "embarrassment for North Shore City".
"I would have thought now you've got your CNZM [Companion of NZ Order of Merit] you would have a bit more decorum."

Cyclones Keep Playoff Hopes Alive With Late Season Surge
By the beginning of August, the Brooklyn Cyclones had struggled with injuries and lack of production from their offense that any hope to make the playoffs was sadly looking to be a pipe dream.
Well, how things have changed.
As of presstime on Wednesday afternoon, the Brooklyn Cyclones have won 9 of their last 10 games to surge to first place in the N.Y. Penn League wildcard race over rivals Jamestown. The Cyclones will have their final two games of the regular season against the Aberdeen Ironbirds, which happens tonight at 7 p.m. and on Saturday at 6 p.m. At 43-29, the Cyclones have a slim half-game lead on the Jamestown Jammers of the Pinckney Division.
If the Cyclones win their remaining games, they will qualify for the playoffs and face off against the Staten Island Yankees in the first round on Monday.
The Cyclones' sole playoff chance is focusing is on the wild card as the division leading Yankees are certain to clinch the division as they are three games ahead of the cross-borough rivals.
August was a very good month for the Cyclones as their 20-7 record lifted what was once a mediocre season for manager Edgar Alfonzo's young charges.
Their pitching has been key in the resurgence as the Cyclones continue to lead the Penn League in ERA and in strikeouts. Right-handed pitchers Bead Holt (5-3, 1.87 ERA), Scott Shaw (6-3, 2.70 ERA) and LHP Jimmy Johnson (5-0, 1.08 ERA) have led the charge.
While their team batting average has been at time pedestrian, the Cyclones continue to get big hits from 2008 first round picks Ike Davis and Sean Ratliff.
Both have struggled in their adjustment to professional baseball but in August, Ratliffe led the team in home runs and RBI. Davis had a 10-game hitting streak and raised his average above the Mendoza line to .245.
OF Kirk Nieuwenhuis has been the most consistent hitter in the Cyclones lineup as he leads in virtually every individual batting category.
17-year old Wilmer Flores has been outstanding at shortstop. The 6-3 phenom is hitting .348 in 23 at-bats and has shown plenty of range at shortstop despite his long frame. He is the seventh player to start at shortstop this season for the Cyclones.

Tampa, FL (Dec. 10, 2002) -- A well-tolerated drug that blocks nicotine receptors in the brain appears to relieve depression and mood instability in children and adolescents with Tourette's syndrome, a preliminary study by University of South Florida College of Medicine researchers has found.
The multicenter, placebo-controlled study of the drug mecamylamine is published in the latest issue of the journal Depression and Anxiety.
"These preliminary findings are consistent with anecdotal observations that mecamylamine stabilizes mood," said lead author Douglas Shytle, PhD, assistant professor in the USF Departments of Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. "In addition, this is the first clinical evidence supporting the hypothesis that many antidepressants function, in part, by inhibiting nicotinic receptors."
Dr. Shytle emphasized that larger clinical studies are needed to determine if nicotine antagonists like mecamylamine would provide a new avenue for treating depression and other mood disorders.
In a 1998 study, the USF researchers reported that small doses of mecamylamine (trade name Inversine™), a drug originally used to treat hypertension, seemed to reduce the rage reactions and irritability that many children with Tourette's experience.
In this national randomized study, the researchers examined the effect of mecamylamine on symptom improvement in a group of 50 children and adolescents co-diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome and at least one of several mood disorders. The mood disorders were major depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiance disorder, obssessive compulsive disorder, and hypomania.
Of the 50 participants, 38 completed the full 8-week trial -- 17 on mecamylamine and 21 receiving a placebo pill.
The four Tourette's patients co-diagnosed with major depression showed the greatest mecamylamine-related improvements in behavioral and emotional symptoms, including significant decreases in sudden mood changes, irritability, demanding attention, inattention, restlessness, anxiety and impulsiveness. The medication's most beneficial effect appeared to be stabilizing mood.
The depressed patients treated with the placebo showed no benefit.
In a report published this summer in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, the USF researchers suggest that many newer, more selective antidepressants such as Prozac work, in part, by inactivating nicotine receptors in the brain. These receptors appear to be overstimulated by the biochemical messenger acetylcholine in patients who are depressed.
The most common current explanation for how antidepressants work is by boosting levels of serotonin, a brain biochemical that is low in people with depression.
"Our preliminary findings with mecamylamine suggest that another way antidepressants may improve depressed moods is by blocking acetylcholine's excess activation of nicotine receptors," said investigator Paul R. Sanberg, PhD, DSc, professor and director of the USF Neuroscience Program.
"It allows us to explore a new class of drugs for neuropsychiatric disorders," said investigator Archie Silver, MD, director of the USF Center for Infant and Child Development.
The USF research team recently started a controlled study of mecamylamine in children and adolescents with bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression. This latest study is funded in part by the Stanley Medical Research Institute.
Other authors of study in Depression and Anxiety were Kathy Sheehan, PhD; and David Sheehan, MD.
The study was supported in part by a grant from the USF High-Tech Corridor Project. The researchers got mecamylamine through Layton BioScience, Inc., a California biotechnology firm that owned rights to the medication at the time of the study.
Mecamylamine (Inversine™) is now owned and marketed by Targacept, a Salem, NC pharmaceutical company that licenses USF's patent covering the use of nicotine antagonists for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders."

This week we celebrate those who are leading the way through the tough times as we count down to naming the New Zealand Herald Business Leader of the Year. The winner will appear in the Weekend Herald on Saturday.
It's been an eventful year for investment banker Rob Cameron.
Cameron, who has more than 20 years' experience in the industry and heads Cameron Partners - the firm he founded in 1995 - had his efforts as chairman of the Capital Markets Development Taskforce vindicated early this year.
The taskforce made 60 recommendations to the Government at the end of last year and has received a very favourable response.
In February Commerce Minister Simon Power said the Government would pick up on most of the suggestions and later announced a big push to form a super regulator to help restore investor confidence.
The only area where Cameron has expressed disappointment is in the Government's decision not to follow through with partial listings of state-owned enterprises.
But it could be a case of watch-this-space with National sticking by its pledge not to change SOEs until its second term.
Cameron was also recognised this year when the Institute of Finance Professionals New Zealand made him a lifelong fellow.
At the time Cameron said he was "deeply honoured" by the award. He said the fellowship was recognition from the industry body of his contribution to New Zealand's financial and capital markets.
But he has also faced a tough challenge in his personal life after being diagnosed with stage four lung cancer in October.
Cameron, who has set up a blog to talk openly about the treatment process, went to a doctor with concerns over an ongoing sore wrist after a fall and found he had cancer.
He is remaining positive and says one reason for the blog is to "quash rumours" that his illness has taken him out of the investment banking game.
Cameron has been involved in many of New Zealand's high-profile transactions including advising the directors of Carter Holt Harvey on its takeover by Rank Group and the restructuring and recapitalisation of Air New Zealand.
We would like to hear from you. Who do you think is a worthy Business Leader of the Year for 2010? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
