ABS & Traction Control Warning Light
I have a '99 SLS that has been a dream since I purchased it in 11/2006. For the last week to ten days, I have had an intermittent ABS and Traction Control warning light on and an intermittent Service Suspension message in the DIC. I have checked the codes and they are as follows:
U1255 Current
P1602 Current Knock Sensor Module Performance
P1644 History Traction Control Delivered Torque Output Circuit
C1736 History Compressor Relay Short to GND/Open
C1780 History Loss of Steering Position Sensor
C1783 Current ICCS2 DL Left Output Short to GND
C1785 Current ICCS2 DL Right Output Short to GND
U1040 History Loss of Class 2 Communication with ABS
U1255 Current Class 2 Communication Malfunction
(Serial Data Line Malfunction)
These warning lights and messages are intermittent in that they seem to come and go with little or no rhyme or reason. When the warning light condition exists, I lose the variable speed steering. I still have power steering but it is very stiff during this condition. I have also noticed that when the condition exists, the AC/Heat system is acting strangely in that it will not operate as set. I leave the system on Auto at all times and when the warning light condition exists, it will either not work or will blow only warm air through the floor vents.
The condition is random in that when I start the vehicle it will give me the warning lights and the adverse operation as listed above, but at random times while driving, usually when cornering, the warning lights will clear, my steering will return, and my AC/Heat functions correctly. This may last for a few minutes and the warning light condition returns with the subsequent adverse conditions.
Before I take this into a shop, sorry I lost the only mechanic I can trust, I wanted to present this scenario and see if you had any suggestions. Is this truly a suspension problem or is this an electrical problem? The only work I have had done on this vehicle is routine LOF which was completed less than 200 miles ago along with an engine flush. Is it possible the tech doing the service jarred a connection loose?
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Re: ABS & Traction Control Warning Light
Did you ever find the solution to this? My 1999 STS is doing the EXACT SAME THING. I love the car, other than this nagging problem. My dealer thinks both the EBTCM and BPMV are bad. I swapped the EBTCM with a used one and still have the same issues. Any help is appreciated.
Re: ABS & Traction Control Warning Light
I seem to be having the EXACT same problem as well on my 99 STS that I recently purchased. Was this problem ever solved?

Re: ABS & Traction Control Warning Light
I know I'm late in this but low brake fluid sets those off. My 96 deville did the same thing. Brake fluid was low, put some in-problem solved

Re: ABS & Traction Control Warning Light
Did anyone find the reason behind this, it is occuring in my 99 SLS as well.

Re: ABS & Traction Control Warning Light
Posts 3 through 6 hit the target on the largest single problem with automotive forums that attempt to provide diagnostic and repair information assistance. And that would be the selfish lack of courtesy of a follow-up post from the original poster to say "xyz fixed the problem".
The problem is repaired and the original poster goes away until yet another problem appears. How that attitude makes a contribution to the remainder of the readers is beyond my ability to comprehend.
And I am not pointing a finger at the original poster of this thread. Far from it. It's possible the cause of this problem has not been positively indentified.
Re: ABS & Traction Control Warning Light
Hello. Let me revive this older thread.
I had posted quite a while ago, that I had the exact same problem with my 99 STS. I belive my dad has since identified the problem.
He believes it's the ignition switch. It powers several relays, one of which (relay #3 I think) is in the fuse block underneath the rear seat. It powers just about everything listed in the original post. He used a meter and checked for the 12 volts that should be there when the ignition is set to 'on'. Upon cycling the ignition switch, sometimes the power would be there and sometimes it wouldn't.
My dad set up quite the slick override. I'm not sure of the exact details, but he ran a wire from the rear fuse block to a regular household light switch that he placed under the driver's seat. At the fuse block, one end was hooked up into the positive slot that always had power, and the other end was hooked up to a slot which would normally power the relay. So he directly overrode that relay.
Now all I have to do is turn the switch (which I have named the 'ghetto switch') on when I start-up but most importantly.... REMEMBER to turn the switch OFF when I shut down. As the battery timeout doesn't work with this override of course. My Dad's an electronic technologist so I guess it was fairly simple for him to do. I hadn't a clue. He looked at the manual and saw the pain of changing the ignition switch and did the above fix as a temporary measure. The climate control, Magnasteer, and many other systems work perfectly when the switch is on. My ABS and TC lights are still lit, but I think that's because the DTCs say I need a wheel bearing and a height sensor.
Now I just have to buy an ignition switch and get my Dad to change it. Any ideas on where to find one?
Thanks and I hope this diagnosis helps!

Re: ABS & Traction Control Warning Light
Everyone: I had the exact same issue with my car...please see the following post to reference my path to diagnosis and repair:
In short, I needed a new ignition switch. The great thing is these are available from most auto parts stores for $26-$60, or from a dealer for $125. I had a local repair shop replace my ignition switch with a new GM part and have not had this problem since. For those who do their own work, A fellow forum member posted the repair procedure in the link above. I can also email the the GM service procedure to you (website will not let me post a .mht file). If I figure out how to save this .mht file as a .pdf, I will post it.
Re: ABS & Traction Control Warning Light
Hello everyone. I've had a lot of problems since I first bought my car. Most of them have either been diagnosed or repaired by now. However, there still are a few codes that keep coming back. I'll only ask about a couple here so I don't bombard eveyone.
First a short history. When I purchased the car, the ABS and TC lights were always on. Using the FSM and the DTCs that said "ABS C1233 - Right Front Wheel Speed Circuit Open or Shorted" and "RSS C1761 - Right Front Position Sensor Input Fault", I replaced the front right position sensor and the front right wheel bearing. After doing this and clearing the codes, I started up and the ABS and TC lights did not light up. It was a proud moment, I had never seen that happen before since they would always light and I would have "Service Suspension System" and "Service Stability System" on start up. I just did this repair yesterday.
I went for a drive. Everything was fine for the first few miles. I enjoyed having first gear now that traction worked (much better performance ). But then I heard a chime and the ABS and TC lights lit up along with "Service Stability System". I immediately pulled the codes and now it showed:
C1736 current - Compressor Relay Short to GND/Open Circuit (something I had before but wasn't always current, sometimes history)
C1225 current - Left Front Excessive Wheel Speed Variation (never seen before)
As soon as I clear all codes, the ABS and TC lights extinguish and everything is fine for a while. And here's another weird thing. Sometimes the ABS and TC lights illuminate without the "Service Stability System" and only the C1225 is current. Other times the "Service Stability System" is displayed at the same time the ABS and TC lights illuminate and code C1736 is current as well. Could this be a coincidence? I wouldn't think so because if the "Service Stability System" displays, it'll do so at the same time as the ABS and TC lights illuminate.
Here's what I'm thinking when it comes to the C1225. My front left speed sensor is on its way out Since the front right bearing was always bad, the ABS probably saw that immediately and shut down the ABS and TC systems and stopped monitoring any further. Now that the front right bearing has been replaced, it attempts to keep the system active. If I have a flaking speed sensor in the front left hub, it'll trigger the code once in a while. I'm thinking it wouldn't have had a chance to monitor the front left because it immediately sensed the bad right one and shut down. Does that make sense? I'm going to clean the connector tomorrow, but I'll probably have to replace it though.
As for the C1736 I have no clue. Would this code trigger the "Service Stability System"? It's talking about the air compressor for the electronic level control for the rear shocks, right? It seems to be unrelated. I'm lost.
I should also note that I'm overriding the IGN 3 relay that is in the fuse block under the rear seat. I believe my ignition switch is bad (see above posts) My Dad installed a temporary switch that powers the relay. I just turn it on before I start the car and vice versa. I don't think it should affect the troubled areas but I thought I should note it just in case.
If you've read to here I am very grateful for your time and appreciate any insight anyone has to give. I tried to keep it short but that didn't happen. But I think if you don't give all the details, why should someone else help me troubleshoot when I don't take the time to fully explain the problem, right? My car is approaching a trouble free status and I couldn't have done it without the helpful people here on the forums, and of course my mechanic.... Dad
Re: ABS & Traction Control Warning Light
UPDATE! I pulled the wheel off and the wire that leads to the speed sensor connector was kinked. My Dad cut that piece out and used a couple of crimps to reconnect the wires. He also used a couple tie wraps along the length of the wire to help ensure it wouldn't kink again around the crimps. That coupled with some electrical tape to seal the repair and... the C1225 code hasn't come back yet!
I've only driven it about 60 miles or so, but before that code would have set several times within 60 miles. I'm hoping the ABS problem is solved.
However, I still get the C1736 code about the compressor. Any ideas on that would be great.
My apologies for the lengthy post above, especially since a big portion of that problem has hopefully been solved.
Re: ABS & Traction Control Warning Light
C1736 refers to part of the ELC - rear level control and compressor. Do you hear the compressor run for 3 seconds, about 6 seconds after key, start? If so, pop the trunk with the engine running. You and an assistant sit on the trunk lip. Does the compressor run and level the rear ? If so, hop off and listen in the RR wheelwell for escaping air. The rear should drop to level.
No good?? Check your owner's manual for the location of the compressor relay - either the engine room fuse box or if there is fuse box under the rear seat - the relay is protected by a fuse, and from there you'll have to trace the wiring, because the DTC refers to a relay ground, not a compressor malfunction.
Re: ABS & Traction Control Warning Light
Ok thanks for the advice. I believe the I can hear the compressor run for about 3 seconds 6 seconds after key start. But I'm not sure if it comes on again to level itself after weight is increased. I'll check this tomorrow and report back.
Also, I know when I jack the car up, I can hear air escaping from the rear. I'm assuming that is normal?
Thanks again!
Re: ABS & Traction Control Warning Light
Ok thanks 00 Deville, that's good to know.
Alright, I've found out that sometimes the compressor will turn on for a few seconds after engine start, and sometimes it won't. I'm guessing when it doesn't, the code C1736 will be current and when it works the code will be history, lol.
So following Submariner409's advice, it sounds like the next step would be to check the relay and then the wiring to check for continuity?
Now I also sometimes get RSS codes C1783 and C1785. Usually listed as history. Could they be related?

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
Johnthan Banks strolled into Saturday's postgame press conference sporting a pair of large, black-rimmed glasses – the kind my dad used to wear, the kind that's become fashionable for pro athletes to wear when in front of a camera.
Banks, Mississippi State's senior cornerback, is going to be a pro soon enough, so he's getting a head start on the fashion game. He said he borrowed the specs from fellow corner Darius Slay.
As he took a seat, surrounded by reporters, Banks cracked, "Coach Mullen's hating on my swag."
He then commenced to talk about his 15th career interception earlier that evening in a 30-10 win over South Alabama. It was quite the play.
Banks was behind the intended receiver, T.J. Glover, as the ball came sailing his way. So Banks jumped high, reached around Glover's helmet and plucked the ball away. He then raced 47 yards into South Alabama territory.
He'll burn you
I couldn't fully appreciate the skillfulness of that interception until I watched it on YouTube on Monday. As Banks noted, test him often enough, and he'll burn you.
"I always know if you throw the ball around me five or six times, I'm going to get one of them," he said.
Banks said he wasn't trying to be cocky, but he has good reason to be. Two more interceptions, and he'll break the school career record held by Walt Harris. He's got nine games – I'm assuming a bowl game here – in which to break the mark.
As long as he's healthy, I don't see how Banks doesn't break the record. He's got three interceptions in four games already, second on the team to Slay's four picks.
The question is whether he can reach 20 interceptions. Of course, he'll have to do it against much tougher competition than what he's faced so far. Seven of MSU's next eight games are SEC opponents.
Well, consider this: Nine of his 15 INTs have come against league foes. Counterargument: He had only one pick over the final six games of 2011, and four of those were SEC contests.
Regardless of his final tally, Banks will go down as one of the best cornerbacks in MSU history. Maybe the best, period, with apologies to Fred Smoot, who had 10 interceptions during his two seasons in Starkville.
Interceptions alone do not define Banks as a player. He's consistently good in coverage, and he can make plays near the line of scrimmage. On the season, he has 15 tackles, including one for a loss.
Against Troy the previous week, it was Banks blitzing off the corner on both of Slay's interceptions.
Banks said Saturday, "I want to be great." He already is.

Zoo Atlanta's giant panda cub reached a big milestone on February 15. The furry little guy turned 100 days old and received a name, Po. Sound familiar? That's because the 3-month-old cub was named after Po the warrior panda, from DreamWorks' hit animated movie Kung Fu Panda and its sequel, in theaters May 26.
Comedian Jack Black, who voices Po in the movies, was on hand to meet his character's namesake at a special ceremony at the zoo, in Atlanta, Georgia. "We are proud and honored to share this moment with Jack Black, who has already helped to bring the importance of saving this species to a new generation of conservationists," said Raymond B. King, president and head of Zoo Atlanta, on Tuesday.
Following Tradition
It's Chinese tradition to wait 100 days before naming a giant panda cub. Po was born on November 3, 2010, to Zoo Atlanta's female giant panda, Lun Lun. The baby boy is the mama bear's third cub. He is also the only giant panda to be born in the United States last year.
In previous years, zoo officials have held contests for the public to vote on panda cub names. But this year, Zoo Atlanta teamed up with DreamWorks to bring more attention to the plight of the bears. Giant pandas are one of the most endangered species in the world. There are about 1,600 living in the wild.
DreamWorks is donating money to the zoo's panda conservation program in return for the name. "This is the beginning of an amazing alliance between Zoo Atlanta and DreamWorks Animation," said King. "Our organizations share a commitment to giant panda conservation, particularly at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding."
Baby Po is expected to make his public debut at the zoo in late March or early April. In the meantime, fans can pay a virtual visit to the zoo's pandas by going to zooatlanta.org/pandacam.

Greetings all....been a while.
Thought I'd pop in with some thoughts on the recently released deluxe versions of the Clone Troopers from Sideshow.
So far, I've picked up the 501st and the 212th Battalion clones.
At first glance, these seem like just a quick way for Sideshow to turn a quick buck and re-use the clone armor for another round of figures....but that is so NOT the case here. Everything involved with the Clones has gotten a "tune-up" here...from the armor (new and much sharper detail) to the deco (really upped the game...much more distressed and multi-layered looking) and especially the helmets have had a complete re-tooling, The helmet is now composed of several separate pieces and has much better proportions than before. Really noticeable is the visors on both versions (the Phase I & II). That one detail really adds to the look of the figure.
The bodies seem tighter (maybe I just got lucky) and the armor fits and positions on them better, helping create the look of the armor "hanging" more naturally on the body.
Even the weapons have had a once-over...with the long rifle getting an new rappel-line feature and the additon of two new ones. The Gatling Gun and several "droid poppers" (the baseball-sized shock bombs featured many times on "The Clone Wars")...these can be stored in the new "backpack" that comes with these clones.
Now the packaging is a bit of a slap here... a single-fold box with ill-fitting trays that hold the figure and all of the gear. Once removed and separated, the trays don't fit back together well and the gear is really tightly packed in there. I'm sure this is a way for Sideshow to conserve on the rising costs of production here...making a cut in the packaging rather than the figure seems the better way to go, but since these figures are billed as "Deluxe", something a little more user-friendly and substantial would have been good. Not even any bios this time...just the Clone name/designation and the word "Deluxe".
The final (minor but irritating) issue is...what happeded to yellow-lettered "Clone Wars" logo'd stands that are still featured on the product pages for these? They just have the standard silver SW logo emblazoned stands we've seen with all of the SW figure releases. A small thing, but since they are still pictured, it would have been a nice variety for display to included them....
Having said all that....I'm still pleased with the actual figures here. I held off on getting then until after some reports and "in hand" pictures started surfacing and It could be seen that these are clearly a step up form the previous clone trooper releases. I may continue with this line and get the Vet and the "Shiny"...but having the two I have now, I really want to see Sideshow re-visit the Shock Trooper with this deluxe treatment...we'll just have to wait and see....

Bad Romance
Ten dark, disturbing, entirely screwed-up (and yet still romantic) films for Valentine's Day
By Devin D. O'Leary
We don't hate Valentine's Day around here. We're not that jaded. Really. But we do have a very different idea of what constitutes romance. Sappy Hollywood rom-coms in which Julia Roberts or Jennifer Aniston or (God forbid) Katherine Heigl eventually falls in love with some guy she allegedly hates is not our idea of love. Real love is painful, messy and frequently fatal. Love, to quote Def Leppard, bleeds. Just ask Romeo and Juliet.

Best and worst Super Bowl ads
By Devin D. O'Leary
At Super Bowl XLVI, car companies clearly ran over beer companies. Anheuser-Busch—normally the King of Commercials—fumbled in 2012. The Budweiser brewer tossed off a couple of forgettably nostalgic spots before bottoming out with the introduction of Bud Light Platinum, which ... has a higher credit limit than other beers? I have no idea. Car companies, however, pulled out the stops with a string of notable ads. Hot babes made a good showing, as always, hawking cars, more cars and domain name registration. Dogs also had their day, starring in five spots (six if you count Snoopy in the MetLife commercial). Monkeys, bears and babies, on the other hand, seem to have worn out their welcome. Good riddance to them.

As many comic enthusiasts, sci-fi fans, artists, toy collectors, and Chicagoans know, Wizard World is approaching quickly and running August 8-10.
Among notable guests are Jim Lee (guest of Honor), as well as Kevin Smith, Joe Quesada, and several others.
In terms of Star Wars related events at the convention, there is a scheduled breakfast with Warwick Davis on Saturday August 9th from 7:30-9 a.m. at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare for members of the Official Star Wars Fanclub. The cost is $39.95 per person and each member may buy one additional guest ticket for a non-member guest. Included with the breakfast is a chance to get Mr. Davis' autograph and an exclusive Silver Boba Fett figure.
There are also going to be a lot of Star Wars actors at the convention. Now may be the time to take advantage of the great $1.99 Star Wars figure clearance sale at KB and get some of the figs like Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin, Zam Wessel, Young Boba, etc. autographed by the actors who played them. That way we could get some cool autographed figs and clear up some of the clogged inventory at the stores to make way for new stuff. If only I could find an Aayla Secura figure before the convention to get Amy Allen to sign, that'd be sweet.
For a complete list of the who's going to be there, check out this link:
I won't be attending the Warwick Davis breakfast since I'm not a fanclub member, nor is my friend that I'll be going with. And I refuse to join the fanclub, for this breakfast or any other reason, just out of general principal. Plus I'm sure I could get just as delicious a breakfast at Denny's for 1/4 the price and still have enough to buy the Silver Boba Fett fig. I'm looking forward to attending the convention for all 3 days though and I hope to see some of you there.

The entire 24-episode season will be released in November. Has anyone read or know if the episode where Starbuck and the Cylon crash on a barren planet and forge an odd alliance/friendship will be included? I think it's called the Lost Patrol but I'm not for sure. Originally, this episode aired with the Galatica 1980 series. It is considered one of the best -- if not the best -- episode.
I've only seen it once. The local independent TV station in town (now the Fox station) aired all of the BG episodes in the early 1980s on Friday nights for two or three months, and this particular episode aired then. I haven't seen it on the Sci Fi Channel.

In the Theater at Monmouth's Twelfth Night, the Bard's gender-bending foibles play out in a proscenium within a proscenium — or, more strictly speaking, a sound stage within a proscenium:
Shakespeare's most trickily witty Fool, Feste (Paul L. Coffey), wanders onto a set in "Illyria Studios" circa the 1920s or '30s. He's smartly Buster Keaton-ed out in vest, shirt-sleeves, and hat, and proceeds to fiddle with the wind machine, heft a stage foil, mime, and mumble director-speak through the bullhorn. Suddenly, there ensues a swashbuckling comic overture, an action-packed preview of the show's dramatis personae complete with big-stringed orchestration, dramatic poses, and tongue-in-cheek sound effects (I particularly liked the bubbly gurgle as chiffon drained down the trapdoor). The movies lend Twelfth Night special whimsy in Monmouth's effervescent production, in repertory through August 22 under the direction of Janis Stevens.
The show's Golden Age of Film setting must have been a particular treat for costume designer Jonna Klaiber. Besides Feste's Buster-y duds, we have the love-anguished duke Orsino (Dan Olmstead) in a The Sheik-ish turban and sash and a Clark Gable pencil-'stache. The unmoved object of his affections, lady Olivia (Jennifer Weinreich) wears midnight purple velvet and dark, shimmering lace; with fair skin, dark hair and eyebrows, and rouged lips, hers is a visage of classic diva loveliness. As her pompous butler Malvolio, Mark S. Cartier is as stoic as Erich Von Stroheim's butler in Sunset Boulevard, and even more immaculate, in white gloves and bowler — at least until he's been roundly maligned by the drunken debauchery of Olivia's uncle, Sir Toby Belch (Bill Van Horn), and his sidekick Sir Andrew Aguecheek (Dennis A. Price).
The shenanigans of those two scoundrels raucously channel vaudeville's influence on early film. Sir Toby is crude, gruff, and Mad Hatter-ish in top hat, big buttons, and hounds-tooth (and red enough of nose that we'll hope it's painted on), while the more puffily-witted Sir Andrew is soft, effete, and serene in canary yellow and a straw hat. It's the perfect set-up for some inebriated buddy routines, and so we have them, replete with hats, canes, soft-shoe, and high kicks.
Stevens and her production crew wisely go lightly on overt treatments of the movie motif — with only the occasional sound of film rolling, a tableau back-lit by a green screen, a rhymed-couplet exit flourished with cinematic strings. But the subtler nuances between characters often have the vibrato intimacy of a close-up: See Olivia fall in love with the disguised-as-a-man Viola (the lovely and robust Alecia White), all heart-flit and lilt; watch as Viola breathlessly lathers, shaves, and towels her own secret love Orsino, risking every extra instant her hand might remain against his throat. Kathleen L. Nation could use a little more snap and sex in her Mae West-y Maria, Olivia's deliciously witty maid, but aside from that this is a show of consummate comic performances, fleetly paced, and flung with zingers.

Alesis D4
The D4 was an affordable and fully professional Drum and Percussion sound module. It featured 500 drums sounds, sampled at 48kHz and stored on an internal ROM chip. The sounds cover the whole gamut, from great acoustic drum types to electronic drum sounds. Orchestral and ethnic percussion sounds and various percussive effects are also available. There are 21 programmable drum kits as well. And the D4 has full 16-channel MIDI implementation.
The D4 has 12 trigger inputs allowing drummers to trigger its sounds from acoustic or MIDI pads. Engineers and musicians can also trigger drum sounds from the D4 using the trigger inputs and any external sound sources from tape or other studio gear. A hi-hat pedal jack allows use of a footswitch to create more realistic hi-hat effects. There are also 4 independent outputs for either 4 mono outs or 2 stereo outs. The D4's only limitation, is editing. Drum sounds can only have their tuning, panning and respective volumes edited. However, drums can be assigned to special groups so that special drum characteristics can be created such as closed hihats cutting off open hihat sounds, etc. The D4 has been used by ATB.

People's energy powered Olympics: Furlong
John Furlong was stunned Premier Gordon Campbell was forced from office by the political maelstrom over the harmonized sales tax so soon after overseeing a wildly successful 2010 Winter Olympics.
The former boss of the Vancouver Games, who released his memoir Patriot Hearts on the Olympic anniversary, said he didn't immediately realize at the time in late October that Campbell was in the midst of resigning.
"I think history will see him as a great man," Furlong said in an interview with Black Press, calling public opposition to the HST an unfortunate misunderstanding.
"I do believe in his heart he was trying to do a good thing and improve the quality of life in this province and create a more prosperous future, which has always been his focus."
Campbell was a relentlessly energetic supporter of the Games and a wellspring of ideas and advice for VANOC, he added.
"He was always there for us," Furlong said. "He wanted this to be about every citizen in the province."
Furlong's book airs his frustrations with other politicians, including "moments" of disagreement with federal heritage minister James Moore and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, who talked his way into the torch-lighting ceremony in Greece.
"If there was one politician I had a real dustup with it was (former Vancouver Mayor) Larry Campbell, who decided he was going to have a plebiscite with just four months to go before the decision on the Games," Furlong recalls.
A "screaming match" ensued with the then-mayor sticking firmly to his position he'd promised the referendum to Vancouver voters and was going to deliver it.
"In the end, even though we were angry at each other, he ultimately made us a better organization because we had to go win that plebiscite and demonstrate in Canada why we deserved to do this."
Furlong said he had no difficulty when he approached Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts about Surrey taking an active role in the Games.
"It took about 15 seconds, the lights went on and she was right there," he said. "She was a champion who spoke eloquently about the Games and did all kinds of things in the community."
Olympic live sites, free concerts, pavillions and other cultural events were critical in helping defuse the sense of some locals that the Olympics were an unaffordable playground for the elite and affluent.
"It was a huge impact because it caused the city to fill up every night," Furlong said. "The cultural Olympiad in many ways was bigger than the Games, in fact overshadowed the Games."
He marvelled at people who would line up for hours to enter sponsor tents, provincial houses or ride the Robson Square zip line.
"It was important that downtown Vancouver was like a very big arena," he said.
It meant people weren't just watching as spectators but living the experience.
"When (International Olympic Committee president) Jacques Rogge said the Olympics can never go back from this, they were talking about this pouring into the streets of people, not just in Vancouver and Whistler and Surrey and Richmond but across the country. This happened everywhere. This happened in Toronto and Montreal and Halifax and Grand Prairie."
More Q & A with John Furlong:
What was the turning point in preparing for the Games?
As the early 2010 winter weather warmed to spring-like conditions and snow quickly turned to dirt on Cypress Mountain, Furlong headed up the hill daily to monitor his very stressed team battling the conditions.
"After four or five days of going up and down, the fellow running the crew up there said 'John, stop coming up. We won't let you down. We're going to deliver this venue. We will find the snow. We will make the conditions right and we will deliver the Games. We are not going to be the ones who fail. You can count on it.' I realized this was the spirit. This was the heart and soul of what we were about."
Best Games moment – other than Canada's golden goal in men's hockey?
"Watching my children sit on the edge of the rink looking at Joannie Rochette win a bronze medal (in figure skating days after her mother's death) and realizing they'll never see a better example in their lifetime of how to overcome adversity."
Worst moment – other than the luge tragedy?
"Losing my friend Jack Poole."
Best possible legacy of the Games?
"A human one. It's this indelible spirit we have. I think the country lifted itself a bit. And I hope we will build on this. We found a way to show ourselves to the world on our own terms. Canada came out a little taller. It feels good. I think from here on in many Canadians will feel we can compete with anyone and win and we belong out there."
How can Metro Vancouver recapture the same energy in future events?
"It's critical to have a vision... When you're doing something you should try to do as much good as you can while you can. So often events get organized without any thought of who they affect and who should be involved."

First building in the Binghamton University ECH project gets topped-off
A 'topping-off' event for the first building in the Binghamton University East Campus Housing project will be held at 1 p.m. Tuesday, February 17, at the construction site on the Binghamton campus.
Binghamton University President Lois B. DeFleur will be joined by Vice President for Student Affairs Brian Rose, and Lyle Corey, senior vice president and partner with LeChase Construction Services as the last pieces of steel are put into place, a significant milestone in the construction project.
General construction activity continues for the first building in the project, sited on parking lots S-1 and S-2 adjacent to Newing's Bingham Hall and Dickinson Community's Champlain Hall. The targeted completion for the first building is fall 2009.
The entire $300 million project will be completed in 2013. Additional Newing buildings and the collegiate center for both communities will be completed before work begins on the Dickinson Community.

Friday is Earth Day. PLNU observes the spirit of Earth Day all through the year, with the diverse activities during the annual Creation Care Week in the fall and Bike the Jam once a month. On Friday, PLNU will be joining in on the observance and festivities by holding a special edition Bike The Jam, where participants will get free coffee if they bring a reusable mug.
PLNU has been ramping up efforts to care for creation for years. Residence halls produce limited waste and are energy efficient. In 2010, Finch Hall was completely remodeled with sustainability in mind, adding recycled-content carpet, a filtered water filling station, a sink-to-toilet grey water recycling system, and natural lighting.
The Green Fund, a student-initiated fee of five dollars per semester, was set up to increase funds for energy, water, and resource conservation efforts on campus. It provides about $25,000 for projects each year. In 2010, the fund provided for a bike service station, more fruit trees on campus, and a community garden expansion.
The Octopus Garden, affectionately named by its founders at Students for Environmental Awareness (SEA), offers plots for green or brown-thumbed students, faculty, and staff to try their hands at tending a small crop. Sprouting this season are quinoa, corn, lettuce, grapes, and carrots, just to name a few.
PLNU students also have the opportunity to engage more deeply in the academic side of creation care by signing up for PLNU's sustainability studies minor, which began in fall 2010. The interdisciplinary program brings together perspectives from business, biology, theology, sociology, and other areas.
Other creation care highlights from around campus include:
Rip, Shred, Tear. To some, these three words may sound like a papier-mâché project. For one PLNU junior, though, these three words have evolved into a project that has received global recognition. Madison Dyer, a film studies major, spent his summer working on a 30-minute surf documentary, Rip Shred Tear, in conjunction with San Diego's Captain Fin Surf Company and Hurley.
A standard surf movie takes about a year to film. Dyer and his crew took a different approach by completing all filming in a two-month period.
"I started shooting in May and we had it all wrapped up by August," said Dyer. "The whole point of it was to showcase surfing and the long board alternative community in that summer."
Dyer was in charge of shooting and editing the film. Although he had some creative input, the concept alone came from Mitch Abshere, Captain Fin Surf Company owner. With over 20 hours of footage, a lot of behind the scenes work had to be done to complete a successful project.
"It was a really good learning experience—especially for the other side of shooting," said Dyer. "The scheduling and contacting people was the part I haven't dealt with, so it was a really good experience."
The film has had its premieres across the globe, most notably three in Japan with distribution by Hurley. With a country geared towards surfing and '60s culture, most surfing companies have a Japan branch.
Although Dyer spent his summer in the realm of surfing, he has turned his interests toward the more sophisticated side of film in marketing. As a PLNU marketing intern, Dyer has been responsible for making mini documentaries and commercials that focus on alumni profiles, departmental profiles, professors, business events and even television commercials.
"Ideally, the stuff I am interested is mostly short stuff, commercials, music videos," said Dyer. "I've made a few connections with people in the commercial world, and hope I can try to get away from surfing and get to a strictly professional marketing base."
As for personal side projects, Dyer has a couple in the works. After a successful completion of last year's short film, Rungs, which won best film at PLNU's film festival, Dyer is embarking on another short adventure. The film is being produced in one of the film production courses, and focuses on a guy who secretly cheats on his girlfriend and accidentally sends a text that might get him in trouble. In an attempt to save himself, he tries to erase the text message while a close friend documents the whole process. In addition to this, he will also be working with Captain Fin Surf Company on another surf project that will be pitched to Fuel TV.
It is evident that Dyer possesses the drive and talent to be successful. Although he has already gained some notoriety for his work, he says that his ethic has started with class projects. They have inspired him to produce quality work and continue to drive him to expand his mind creatively.
"Having professors and peers that have pushed you to do stuff out of your comfort zone--as repetitive as a lot of school projects can get--really pushes you to work under a deadline and learn the whole process," said Dyer. "Really, I have both of those to be thankful for."

At PLNU, tuition currently covers only 77.5 percent of the education costs for a PLNU student. In fact, never in the history of our university has tuition covered the entire cost of a student's education. Who's paying the other 22.5 percent? PLNU receives generous financial support, both large and small, from alumni contributions, donor gifts, corporate sponsorships, and foundations.
For example, if current tuition is $26,500, and a student pays only 77.5 percent of his or her education costs, he or she is getting an unknown scholarship of about $20,000 over the course of four years.
On March 25, PLNU students will celebrate Tuition Freedom Day. The PLNU Alumni Association took the initiative to ASB leaders and Student Congress two years ago. All three have collaborated on designing this event for three years. On this day, PLNU celebrates and thanks the alumni, donors, corporations, and foundations who provide support for our current and future students.

The PLNU speech and debate team's competitive intercollegiate season has now drawn to a close with their last tournament. But the team went out with a bang at National Parliamentary Debate Nationals, hosted by Colorado College in Colorado Springs March 16 - 20.
The team ended the year as the third highest ranked school in the yearlong nationwide sweepstakes. There were hundreds of colleges and universities competing from across the nation, all in one large division at NPDA, including schools like UCLA, Cal Berkeley, and the United States Air Force Academy.
At the NPDA National Championships, the six teams representing PLNU were ranked the 8th top program at the national championship tournament sweepstakes, a ranking that counts your top four teams against all the other program's top four teams at the tournament, all competing within one senior division. PLNU has had many strong teams in the past that have not even cracked the top ten awards in that category. PLNU's 1999 team won the top spot in this particular category.
Senior and team co-president Daniel Nadal was one of only three debaters in the nation selected to this year's All American Parliamentary Debate Team. Nadal was awarded this honor based on his forensics success, high academics, and service to the community. He is now choosing which law school to attend next year.
The team of Ashley Nuckels and Ian Sharpels advanced to the double Octa Final round, and the team of Daniel Nadal and James Wilson advanced to the Triple Octa Final round. Their winning records in preliminary rounds allowed them to participate in the elimination rounds. Three of PLNU's other teams missed that opportunity by only one round.
On March 19, Dr. Doretha O'Quinn, associate dean in PLNU's School of Education and director of the Arcadia Regional Center, was honored as an outstanding African American Educator by Phi Delta Kappa, an international professional association for educators. The honor was based upon her current work at PLNU in reaching out to urban schools, previous work at Biola University and Azusa Pacific University, her publishing, and service to the wider church as a part of the board of directors for the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel.

Another indicator of the good tidings is the fact that suppliers to the industry are expanding in China. For example, Thermo Fisher Scientific opened its new manufacturing facility in Suzhou, for sciences consumables and equipment, in the last quarter of 2012. The company is strengthening its local production capabilities to meet increased customer demand in China and other Asia Pacific markets. It has invested $20 million in its Suzhou plant that will employ about 150 people. Another technology supplier company, PerkinElmer acquired Shanghai Haoyuan Biotech, a China-based infectious disease diagnostics company for $38 million to expand its capabilities into nucleic acid blood screening and the growing molecular clinical diagnostics market in China.
These companies are getting inspired not just by the potential of current and latent demand in China for their products and services but also by the concrete measures that the China government is showcasing in moving on its 12th five-year-plan (2011-15) to develop strategic industries that includes pharmaceutical and healthcare among others. Much has been written about India and China bioscience in BioSpectrum and elsewhere.
However, as the just concluded BioSpectrum Asia Pacific Bioscience Industry Survey 2013 showcases, the smaller markets of the region, like Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore are also shining. Featured in this issue, these markets have found their niche and are leveraging their competencies to emerge as global hub in their respective niche and have grown in respectable double digits during 2012.
BioSpectrum's effort to bring you market insights continues. Our next issue in June will feature the consolidation activity in these markets and focus on the talent pool engaged in the bioscience industry. And feedback on this survey and analysis is welcome.

"All those things bother me: The populism, the lying and the scapegoating and the xenophobia bother me, but then theres a layer of incompetence here. I suppose, in a way, we should be thankful: If he had a coherent ideology, hed probably be more dangerous." P J O'Rourke
There's a reason the San Jacinto Monument is taller than the Washington Monument and the Texas Flag can fly at the same height as the US Flag.
The word "Politics," is derived from "Poly," meaning Many and from "Ticks," meaning Blood Sucking Parasites-Kinky Freidman.
Well....if Texas seceeded from the Union, then that would be about 1500 miles of border the US wouldn't have to fence or patrol
And then, GW could head up the Texas Air Force and fly missions to protect Texas from Oklahoma
And Mexico could declare war on Texas, and we could just sit back and let the best man win. That's a win/win in my opinion
And best of all...all the 'Tea Baggers' could move to Texas and have a street party where they would be welcome and suddenly irrelevant. Oops! Or, would they? Would Texicans have to pay some sort of tax...ya know...to pay for the Border Patrol and the Texas Air Force?
All in good fun. You guys are kidding....aren't you ???
You lost at the Alamo!
You had to have the Feds "bail" you out then.
You lost the Civil War.
My suggestion is "GO" but we keep all the property you have over run in Colorado. Questions: Do you want slaves again; never mind I know the answer.
Interesting. At least on this issue the conservatives here are consistent. In the past, when a person said that they would leave the USA because they were fearful of the policies of a President's administration some of the conservatives here have typed things like:
Too bad though, just like these elite hollywood liberals, Texas (another state that gets more back in Federal taxes than they pay in) probably won't leave the USA either. We could really use a couple big military bases up here and any large state pulling out would sure reduce the long term social security and medicare/medicaid burden for the rest of the country. I hope Governor Perry has more guts than the liberal hollywood elite and not only talks the talk, but walks the walk.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the vast majority of Texans disagree with their governor on this. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/publ...75_opt_to_stay

CORINTH – The Crossroads Chili Cook-Off and Green Market at the Corinth Depot, two increasingly popular events to kick off the spring and summer festival seasons, return today to the open space between the Crossroads Museum and the Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau at Wick and Fillmore streets.
Dozens of cooking teams, including a number of local teams, have signed up to test their recipes and cooking skills to claim top honors in the International Chili Society-sanctioned chili competition, winners of which will gain automatic entry to the World Championship Chili Cook-Off.
In addition to competition in red chili, chili verde and salsa categories, a People's Choice Chili Tasting will give the public a chance to sample chili recipes from noon to 2 p.m. at a cost of $5 per ticket. Teams also may register 7-9 a.m. on the day of the cook-off.
Vendors of handmade and homemade products also will have their wares on display for the season's first Green Market.
The event brings vendors from a wide geographic area to Corinth to sell their goods, and is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monthly markets continue on May 4, June 1, July 6, Aug. 3, Sept. 7 and Oct. 5, with hours 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
A holiday-themed RED Green Market is planned for Nov. 16. Formerly a project of the Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, both the chili cook-off and green market have become fundraising projects of local nonprofits.
Proceeds from the chili cook-off benefit the Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter, and proceeds from the green market benefit the Crossroads Museum.
Crossroads Chili Cook-off and Green Market
WHEN: Today
WHERE: Open space between Crossroads Museum and Corinth Area
Convention and Visitors Bureau, Wick at Fillmore Street, Corinth

The term ionizing radiation refers to those subatomic particles and photons whose energy is sufficient to cause ionization in the matter with which they interact. The ionization process consists of removing an electron from an initially neutral atom or molecule. For many materials, the minimum energy required for this process is about 10 electron volts (eV), and this can be taken as the lower limit of the range of ionizing radiation energies.
