About Chris Parente
Originally from Connecticut, I’ve lived in the Washington DC area since 1993. Like many here I spend a little too much time working — lucky for me I love the work I do in technology public relations. My firm is Strategic Communications Group, where the philosophy is great work for great clients. It’s an exciting time of change for the industry, and Strategic is doing more and more social PR work for clients in the b2b and b2g marketplaces. Check us out at www.gotostrategic.com.
When not working, I’m often found enjoying a new wine or doing some kind of upkeep on my cars — a 1999 M3 and a 2001 530 that are full-scale hobbies. I hope something you read here makes you smile, think or comment.

Hi I own a bmw x5 2001.MY car had a dc test and faults came up that it was dsc module and or left rear speed sensor.Unfortunatley bmw mechanics cant isolate the two.Ive read your post and see you have experience in this.What do you think?
My speedo does not work all the time.Braking is rough for abit then my warning lights come on dsc and abs.I tryed to take off the rear sensor and noticed that it was very dirty in the hub area and inside the hub where the sensor goes in.As you know its hard to see in the hole where the sensor goes into,but what i do see is a shaft.I thought that it would be a gear in there.I dont know maybe there is and when the shaft is rotated I would see the teeth,Please explain.Oh yeah after this experiment was done and sensor was cleaned and put back in I went for a drive hoping this fixed my problem and noticed the speedo does not move at all.What do you think?
Thanks and I hope you can help me answer these questions .

I am the GovLoop Blog Outreach coordinator and I just wanted to send you a quick note asking if you’d consider cross-posting your awesome blog postings on GovLoop. GovLoop is a government focused online community that was bourne out of the Department of Homeland Security and has grown to become a community of more than 20,000 people. American bloggers like Gwynne Kostin and Steve Radick are already cross-posting with a quick copy-paste, significantly increasing their readership and exposure and getting them in front of additional smart government innovators.
FYI, pulling from RSS feeds currently isn’t possible with our technology but is on our roadmap as we evolve. We totally understand that it is kind of a pain to copy/paste but we hope you take the minute to post and hopefully access some great discussions with our large community of federal folks. Keep writing phenomenal postings and we really hope to see them on our site soon. Our community would love your insightful and thought provoking writing!
Keep being awesome and let me know if you have any questions!
