Closing its doors

DANVERS — After 31 years, a networking group for women running home businesses is going out of business, even as more people than ever are working out of their homes.
The advent of other networking groups, social media that allows for instant feedback and a declining membership have all conspired to spell the end of the nonprofit Homebased Businesswomen's Network.

Loose harness can trigger Escape sensor

Q: I have a 2008 Ford Escape, and I am having an issue with my ABS and traction control. When I first start the vehicle, the ABS light and traction control lights are off, but moments after I start driving or once I take a left turn, the car starts to stutter, the ABS and traction control light both start blinking, but shut off as soon as I straighten out the car and it runs perfect again. (This does not happen taking a right turn.) Minutes later, after I drive a mile or longer, both the ABS and traction control light will turn on and stay on as long as the car is running. I can take left turns with no problems; almost like there's no problem with the car at all. Any thoughts as to what this could be? It all started when I was pulling a small utility trailer with nothing on it.
