Building Code of Australia and Plumbing Code of Australia Amendments
Please visit the VBA Seminar Series page to find information on amendments to the Building Code of Australia relevant to building and the Plumbing Code of Australia relevant to plumbing practitioners.
The Building Act 1993
The Building Act 1993 (the Act) governs building activity in Victoria. It sets out the legislative framework for the regulation of building construction, building standards and the maintenance of specific building safety features.
The objectives of the Act are:
- to protect the safety and health of people who use buildings and places of public entertainment
- to enhance the amenity of buildings
- to promote plumbing practices which protect the safety and health of people, and the integrity of water supply and waste water systems
- to facilitate the adoption and efficient application of national building standards and national plumbing standards
- to facilitate the cost effective construction and maintenance of buildings and plumbing systems
- to facilitate the construction of environmentally and energy efficient buildings; and
- to aid the achievement of an efficient and competitive building and plumbing industry.
Part 12A of the Act sets out the legislative framework for the regulation of plumbing work in Victoria, addressing matters such as:
- the registration and licensing of plumbing practitioners
- requirements relating to licensees self-certifying work via compliance certificates
- the establishment of the Victorian Building Authority and its responsibilities relating to the regulation of plumbing work
- the powers available to the Authority's inspectors and auditors in monitoring and enforcing the compliance of plumbing work with all regulatory requirements.
You can view a copy of the Act at the Victorian Legislation and Parliamentary Documents website.
Building Regulations
On Tuesday 16 February 2016, the Governor made the Subordinate Legislation (Building Regulations 2006) Extension Regulations 2016, which extends the operation of the Building Regulations 2006 until 5 June 2017.
The Government has commenced a program of reforms to the building system, including amendments to the Building Act 1993, to put in place a strengthened regulatory framework to improve domestic building consumer protection. The extension of these regulations will enable the replacement regulations to be aligned with the implementation of legislative reform.
The Building Regulations 2006 (The Regulations) are derived from the Act and contain, among other things, the requirements relating to:
- building permits
- building inspections
- occupancy permits
- enforcement of the Regulations
- maintenance of buildings.
The Regulations adopt the Building Code of Australia as a technical reference that must be complied with.
New regulations or amendments to current regulations can be made according to the requirements of the Subordinate Legislation Act 1994. That Act sets out requirements for the preparation, making and publication of new or amending regulations and requirements for a regulatory impact statement.
If you would like to propose an amendment to the Building Regulations 2006, submissions should be made by completing the Proposed Amendment Submission.
Plumbing Regulations
The Plumbing Regulations 2008 (the Regulations) are derived from the Act and contain among other things:
- defining scopes for the various classes of plumbing work
- setting out qualification and experience eligibility requirements for registration and licensing
- the fees payable for registration and licensing applications
- the technical requirements that work performed in specified classes of plumbing must comply with.
National Construction Code (NCC)
The NCC incorporates all on-site construction requirements into a single code. The NCC comprises the Building Code of Australia (BCA), Volume One and Two; and the Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA), as Volume Three.
- Volume One: pertains primarily to Class 2 to 9 buildings.
- Volume Two: pertains primarily to Class 1 and 10 buildings.
- Volume Three: pertains primarily to plumbing and drainage associated with all classes of buildings.
To download the NCC, visit the ABCB website
Building Code of Australia
The Building Code of Australia (BCA) is produced and maintained by the Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) which is an initiative of the Council of Australia Governments (COAG).
The BCA is updated annually and provides a uniform set of technical provisions for the design and construction of buildings and other structures.
The BCA is performance based and allows for state variations to provide additional requirements or cater for specific community expectations. This means it defines the way of achieving a specified outcome without prescribing a particular method.
Copies of the BCA (Volumes One and Two of the National Construction Code) can be purchased from the Australian Building Codes Board website.
Plumbing Code of Australia
The Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA), forming Volume 3 of the NCC, is administered and maintained by the Australian Building Code Board (ABCB). The ABCB is a joint initiative of Federal, state and local governments and reports to state, territory and Commonwealth building ministers. In Victoria, this is the Minister for Planning.
The PCA contains the technical provisions for the design, construction, installation, replacement, repair, alteration and maintenance of:
- Water services
- Sanitary plumbing and drainage systems
- Stormwater drainage systems
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems
- On-site wastewater management systems.
In addition the PCA contains a list of variations to the requirements that apply to all Victorian practitioners.
Copies of the PCA are available for free download from the Australian Building Codes Board website.
On the 1st May 2016, the PCA 2016 replaced the 2015 edition. Unlike previous editions which were updated annually, the PCA 2016 will remain in force until 1st May 2019.
The PCA 2016 contains a number of significant changes. Plumbing practitioners need to be aware of how the changes affect their work and are expected to comply with the new requirements where applicable.
To assist practitioners a summary of the changes in the PCA 2016 can be found here.
Performance (Alternative) Solutions for Plumbing
Meeting the Performance Requirements of the Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA)
The Performance Requirements of the PCA can be achieved through one of the following:
- Complying with the Deemed to Satisfy (DtS) provisions, such as the referenced AS/NZS 3500 Plumbing and drainage Standard(where applicable),
- Formulating a Performance Solution which complies with the Performance Requirements, or is demonstrated to be at least equivalent to the DtS provisions, or
- A combination of the above.
Deemed to Satisfy method
Most plumbing installations use the DtS method. This is achieved by following the requirements contained in the referenced Standards - such as the AS/NZS 3500 Plumbing and Drainage suite.
Performance solution method
A performance solution, previously known as an alternative solution, is another method of achieving compliance with the performance requirements of the PCA. Performance solutions provide a flexible method of meeting the requirements, and are unique for each installation. Performance solutions may be used where there is no deemed to satisfy method for a particular plumbing installation, or where a plumbing practitioner wants to use an innovative approach to an installation. A Performance Solution may be used for any installation, and must be developed prior to the work being carried out.
How to develop a performance solution
Plumbing practitioners intending to use a performance solution for their plumbing installation need to be aware of the process and requirements for this method.
For a high level summary of how to develop a performance solution, view this video.
The VBA has also developed an industry guide for Victorian practitioners outlining the expected process, documentation and requirements to be followed. The guide is available here.
In addition to the VBA's industry guide, the Australian Building Codes Board also has further information on performance solutions available at http://www.abcb.gov.au/NCC/How-it-works.
Plumbing Regulations Sunset Review
The Plumbing Regulations 2008 (the Regulations) will expire in November 2018. The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) is in the process of reviewing the current regulations and will develop options for new regulations to replace them. This work will be undertaken with support from the Victorian Building Authority (VBA). The VBA will also assist with targeted engagement with stakeholders as well as providing technical input as the regulator.
New regulations will be made following the preparation of and public consultation on a Regulatory Impact Statement and draft regulations.
The Plumbing Regulations Sunset Review will focus on matters that can be addressed via the regulations. The scope of matters that may be prescribed in regulations is outlined in sections 221ZZZV and 262 of the Building Act 1993.
Invitation to Comment
Stakeholders and the community are invited to make submissions on the operation and effectiveness of the current Regulations. Feedback will inform the Plumbing Regulations Sunset Review project and the creation of new regulations.
To make a submission or find out more about the Plumbing Regulations Sunset Review project, please click here.
For further information on this project, please email email@example.com.

In depth Jun 27, 2014
The FASB issued a new standard in June 2014 to eliminate the concept of a development stage entity (DSE) from today's accounting guidance in its entirety. While originally the project was aimed at eliminating the incremental reporting requirements for DSEs, the consolidation guidance was also amended, impacting all companies that invest in these entities. In most cases, a different analysis will be required by an investor to determine if it should consolidate one of these entities. This, in turn, could cause changes in consolidation conclusions. Regardless of the conclusions, incremental disclosures will apply. The change to the consolidation analysis is effective from the beginning of 2016 for calendar year-end public companies.

Hello guys, after the Christmas winter storm that hit the Easter seaboard by mistake I hit my wipers on while I had lots of snow on the windshield. Now they wont wont go all the way down. Weird thing is that when I turn them on they go all the way down as they star to wipe and do it the normal cycle. But when i turn them off they stayed about 15% off the bottom of the windshield.
Does anyone have any idea what can i do?
I have a 2002 VW passat 1.8 T

The fuel pump for 1987 - 1989 16v differs from that in a 1990-92. The Jetta's 16v fuel pump is different from the 8valve and the 16v pump from a scirocco. The prepump on 16v's (intank fuel pump) are accessible without dropping the fuel tank. But no matter what you do... you will smell like gas for a week or two.
Interesting. Does the G60 dp offer better flow too? Or the same? Would this be a cheap mod for power gains?
Quote, originally posted by Jett'in » A G60 downpipe will fit a 16v.
I bought one and it bolts up just the same.
I am adding this b/c if you have a cracked and/or leaking downpipe, the G60 ones you will find for sale have lower mileage on them and are usually in much better condition than the used 16v ones.
Good luck!
It is just a direct replacememnt for the 16v.
As far as I know it is the same size and should flow the same
2001 A6 4.2 - NEMO Blue
1987 944 Turbo
1988 GLI 16v SOLD
Just to Make things a little clearer for anyone who is building a 16v or those of you who forgot to mark the pullies before pulling the timming belt off.
the "dot" on the flywheel shown above is the reference for timming the crank to the cams (as stated zero degrees TDC)
the "hash" mark on the flywheel is a reference for ignition timming (6 degrees BTDC).
Be sure to use the "dot" on the flywheel to time the engine (crank to cams) not the hash mark as this will make a mess of your valve train.
If I got a new 1.8 16v intake mani and tb 42mm
What would I have to do to fit it to a 2.0 16v???

Here is a pic of the 16v sensor's.
Just curious...the oil pressure sensors in the pic above #1 and #2 are reversed im my car. The white one is over the oil filter and the black one is behind it. Which way is correct? My oil light and buzzer trun on at 2500 rpms. I'm hoping this is by problem.
Another question, there is something that looks like a coolant temp sensor like #5 on both sides of the water outlet. There is no wire going to the front one on mine but a sensor is there. Any ideas? My car is an 88 GLI.
My 88 GTI had the sensor in front of the water outlet with no wire attached to it also. I never did determine what is was for.
Good stuff bumppp [IMG]http://*****************.com/smile/emthup.gif[/IMG]
Great info so far!! I especially liked the sensor posts and many of the links on page 1. Learning....
I need help with origins of this 2.0 16v engine block.
I'm not a seasoned 2.0 16v engine veteran, I'm researching the web, used search, tried everything but calling the dealer. I want to ask in this thread next. I'd like to know for for parts procurement purposes, if need be .
Any information regarding year, and parts compatibility with other
engines will be greatly appreciated.
A friend has an engine with the identical 7 digit number with a 9A
above the distributor, my block reads 27J. the block serial (?) number
is 053 103 021B
Any links including this engine or any others would be appreciated, I've seen a few but this engine does not appear.
It constantly occurs to me that I'm doing something wrong.

Even though I didn't end up with anything, I must commend sparkfun for free day. From a business stand point it was an incredible investment. Considering their markup, how much people spent over the $100k, site traffic, and how many new customers were generated, sparkfun has done well.

uPVC Replacement Windows
I have recently purchased some white uPVC replacement windows from www.swiftltd.co.uk
I have now fitted these and need to know what would be the best internal window boards to use, hardwood or the laminate type?
What is the easiest to use?:eek:
Internal Window Cill
A company called Deceunink to a great range of internal window cills "Novacil". It is a UPVC product that comes in a variety of colours, including some woodgrain finishes. The boards start at a depth of 180mm and go up to about 600mm, so they will fit most applications. Also the boards come with premade corner pieces, angles and ends all in the matching colours. Have a look at http://www.windowsplussupercentre.com/Novacill.html
As they have all the angles and edges premade for you, it makes fitting the cills very easy. The end caps will also cover any minor mistakes made on the cut. The small overlap will tidy up the ends nicely.

The Industry and Parliament Trust (IPT), Food Ethics Council and the University of Warwick set up a Commission in January 2014 to explore the challenges of maintaining a sustainable food supply chain. The Commission was made up of parliamentarians, and representatives from industry and academia, whose aims were to discuss issues food companies face in ensuring the sustainability of food supply chains and explore upcoming policy developments that seek to tackle them.
Among the topics discussed were employment conditions; distribution of profit; how to best tackle resource depletion and climate change. Following the conclusion of the Commission in May, a report will be published, outlining its findings and adding to the dialogue between parliament, industry and academia on this important issue. The report, "The Long and the Short of It" was presented to Commissioners at a dinner in October, and is available to download from the IPT website.

India will lead a trade renaissance for UK exporters over the next decade as British businesses are forced to look beyond their traditional but now struggling Europe markets, according to new forecasts from HSBC.
The bank says exports to India should surge by around 13% a year on average in the eight years to 2020. Exports to Asia, with the exception of Japan, are also set to grow by almost 11% a year until 2015 and at an annual pace of 9% in the five years to 2020.
This is twice as fast as sales to European markets, which currently account for around 40% of UK exports, although eastern European hot spots like Poland are set to see stronger demand.
The report said: "In light of the economic challenges facing Europe, it is clear that the greatest opportunity for UK exporters lies with the rapidly expanding emerging markets. Growth is likely to prove particularly buoyant in the near term as these economies recover from their recent slowdown."
HSBC also predicts that the United States will overtake Germany to become the most important market for UK exports by 2030, largely reflecting brighter prospects for the world's biggest economy.

Our second stay at the Hamilton Scot Inn was just a wonderful as the first. We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the evenings on the back patio were lovely. The host went above and beyond to make us feel at home. We definitely hope to return again for another visit.

I was at a wedding for the weekend here back in April 2014 and everything was exceptional!

My wife and I stayed with innkeeper Eric at the Hamilton Scot Inn for one weekend. We wish we could have stayed for a month. Eric is not only the most attentive host imaginable, he's also the builder of this incredible home. Please see the virtual tour on his website. We felt more like family than guests during our stay and will definitely make a return visit. The greek yogurt parfait and eggs Benedict breakfasts were a delight to savor. The Hamilton Scot Inn is a sanctuary where total relaxation is unavoidable.

We stayed last week and it was fabulous! We most certainly will return and have already told many of our friends about our exceptional stay! Thank you Eric - you are the best! T & C

I'm a seasoned business traveller who was looking for a "different" place to stay in RTP. A short 15 mins drive from the business park, the inn is a large beautiful house, set in a quiet park and furnished with antiques. The service is one of the best I have ever received in my years of travelling and the breakfast was varied and excellent (and this is coming from a picky frenchman staying in 5 star hotels). I would never stay anywhere else on my next trip to RTP, the inn feels like a home away from home.

My wife and I stayed at the inn the second week of March while house-hunting in the Cary area. What a treat. Eric and Sue were warm, gracious hosts, the inn itself is an architectural marvel with endless treasures within, and even their two dogs were a special treat. The room was spacious and peaceful and overlooked the wetlands behind the inn. The sound of swamp life was a great way to fall asleep and in the morning we lapsed into a food coma from all the good eats. If you are looking for a truly inviting place to stay with large doses of old-Carolina charm, this is it. Or as I told the inn keepers, "You'll feel as at home as you want to be there."

So we're a TSA agent now are we?

Logically I know that I shouldn't because serial killers never look like serial killers, but I sometimes I do pick up people. Here in Nevada, you can have a gun in the car and it is only considered a concealed weapon if it is on your person. The drivers side door has a handy pocket built into it.
If it was like a family or a mom and kids or a younger woman I might be inclined. But overall no.
I did once, a long time ago. I was filling up at a gas station and a man asked if I could take him to the nearest bus station. He stood back and asked politely, and I told him yes, but he'd have to ride in the bed of the truck. I was driving a little 1991 Sonoma at the time. He said ok, so I drove him down the road and left him at the nearest bus station. If he would've become a problem down the road, well that would've been ok, because I was wearing a seatbelt and driving a beater.
That little pickup was a great little truck, but the one flaw in it was a seriously off gas gauge. I never let it get under a 1/4 tank, but one day I didn't make it to my exit. I didn't think the gauge was that off, but it was. So there I was on I-65 S and the engine cuts out, and I roll over to the side of the road. :icon_neutral: My exit was right there on front of me (that's Harding Place for you locals), and it goes up the ramp, to the right, onto an overpass to the nearest gas station. There is no good shoulder on the overpass, so it's rather dangerous for pedestrians. I started the walk, but didn't get ten feet from my vehicle when a minivan pulls over and the guy asks me if I need a ride to the station. He was the only occupant. I had to weigh whether the danger from this man was greater than all the cars on the overpass. I would've never done it if I wasn't armed. I got in, and he took me to the station, I got a gallon of gas, and he drove me back and insisted on filling it up himself. He was a Kurdish immigrant and a nice guy.
These days, however, with two children, I'd say the answer would be no, I wouldn't take a hitchhiker. I have more to think about than my own safety.
I have picked up hitchhikers back when I was much younger, and I also have hitchhiked, but haven't done either for a long time. It may make me a terrible citizen, but I won't pick up anybody now. What all the shootings (and increases in other violent crime by a relatively small but more violent group of people) have taught me is that nobody is safe from these types of attacks anymore. You just never know who's getting in the care with you.
No , unless I know them.
Those days are long gone.

Jack Wilshere is confident he will quickly recapture his best form after losing his place in the Arsenal team for last night's win over Napoli.
The England midfielder was left out of the starting XI for the 2-0 victory over the Serie A side and, although he came on as a second-half substitute, the excellence of Arsenal's display before the break means he will have to work hard to force his way back into the side.
Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil combined superbly to create chances for the Gunners, while Mathieu Flamini and Mikel Arteta — making his first start of the season — did a similarly efficient job to hold the fort in the centre.
Wilshere has struggled with ankle problems during the last two seasons but he has no doubt he can fight his way back.
The 21-year-old said: "When I broke into the team, the situation was similar. There were players like Cesc Fabregas, Alex Song and Abou Diaby at the club but this will bring out the best in me and it will bring the best out of the other players as well.
"We still have Santi Cazorla to come back from injury and if we can keep everyone fit, we are going to be real contenders in all four competitions.
"We have not really had this competition for places over the last few years, so we are all excited and we just have to keep it up now. Why was I on the bench? It was just a formation thing because I am feeling fine. Tomas Rosicky is coming back from injury and needed a game. I have played a lot of games recently so I was just happy to get on and help at the end."
Ozil was inspired last night while Olivier Giroud also produced another impressive performance as a lone forward, helping to create the opening goal for Ozil before scoring the second himself. It was the Frenchman's sixth goal of a fine start to the campaign.
Wilshere added: "We have to try to support him a bit more, but he is a big, strong player, technically very good and a great footballer all-round."

Arch Enemy Land Former Nevermore Member Jeff Loomis as New Guitarist
Arch Enemy have made a lineup change, bidding farewell to Nick Cordle and welcoming ex Nevermore member Jeff Loomis on guitar.
Arch Enemy have made a lineup change, bidding farewell to Nick Cordle and welcoming ex Nevermore member Jeff Loomis on guitar.
Arch Enemy will make their return to the U.S. for the first time in three years to headline shows with Kreator, Huntress and Starkill this fall.
Along with this week's release of their 'War Eternal' album, Arch Enemy have unveiled the video for 'No More Regrets.'
Rock on, Arch Enemy vocalist Alissa White-Gluz, who has been playing recent shows while suffering from broken ribs.
Arch Enemy have unveiled the latest video from their upcoming album 'War Eternal,' due out June 10. 'You Will Know My Name' has just premiered online.
Arch Enemy are wasting no time in getting their fans acclimated to the surprising vocalist switch that they revealed earlier this week. Longtime frontwoman Angela Gossow left the band, with The Agonist's Alissa White-Gluz taking over on vocals...
Yesterday (March 17), a massive piece of news impacted the metal world that changed the career of not one, but two popular metal acts. Legendary Arch Enemy vocalist Angela Gossow stepped down from the band, allowing Alissa White-Gluz of the Agonist to take her place. This led to the Agonist recruiting a new singer, but in a new statement from White-Gluz, it was her intension to remain as the Agonist's frontwoman.
Very surprising news from extreme metal veterans Arch Enemy as highly celebrated longtime vocalist Angela Gossow has left the band! Along with a statement announcing Gossow's departure, Arch Enemy have also revealed the Agonist's Alissa White-Gluz as the group's new frontwoman. A publicity photo of the band's new lineup can be seen above.
Arch Enemy fans won't have to wait much longer as the band is in the process of putting the final touches on their ninth studio album. The disc, titled 'War Eternal,' will be the band's first release since 2011's 'Khaos Legions,' and it's expected to arrive on June 10.
Certain genres demand almost cult-like devotion from musicians, and Arch Enemy belongs to one of those genres. Announcing the departure of guitarist Christopher Amott, the Swedish band could have boiled today's official statement down to one telling sentence: "Christopher simply isn't into playing extreme metal anymore...

Course DescriptionExplores the conduct and ethics of criminal justice practitioners that give rise to civil liability. Focuses on aspects of risk management to help prevent legal claims. Prerequisites: CJA 111 and WR 121 or instructor permission. Audit available.
Addendum to Course Description
This course will offer students an opportunity to learn about the law of civil liability and its relevance to the Criminal Justice profession. The course will focus not only on the potential liability of police officers, corrections officers and other criminal justice practitioners for deprivation of civilians° US Constitutional rights under state and federal law, but will also address officers° day to day dealings with civil law issues while performing duties mandated under criminal law. Such areas of civil law with which officers may come into contact include Landlord/Tenant, Domestic Relations, towing procedures, etc.
An important component in the course content will include a study of ethical rules and considerations for dealing with the public. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of the application of democratic principles when dealing with members of society. This is important for two purposes: to encourage the equal, fair treatment of all individuals for the sake of a moral society and as a preventive tool for potential liability for deprivation of an individuals constitutional rights.
The material in this course will be presented in lecture and discussion format. The instructor may also utilize guest speakers, videos, current events, journal articles, recent court decisions, small group projects and service learning (community based) projects to enhance the educational experience and emphasize ongoing relevance to the lives of the students and their futures. Texts in the areas of Civil Liability and Ethics will be used.
Intended Outcomes for the course
Upon completion of the course students should be able to:
- Analyze situations that may create potential liability for criminal justice employees and their agencies.

Our daily thread.
The Dodgers lost their 2nd in a row to the Braves, but Matt Kemp homered for the 10th time this month, tying Gary Sheffield (remember him?) for the most home runs in April. Kemp leads the major in homers and has 23 RBI.
Tough night for Dodgers reliever Javy Guerra, who took 1 in the face and might be knocked out of the closer role.
They're just funking with us, no?: The Rays handed the Angels their 3rd straight setback. We suspect they're trying to find out who their real fans are before they go on a roll and blow everyone away. No?
Albert Pujols is 0 for 19 and still looking for his 1st homer as an Angel. This wouldn't be happening if he was in St. Louis.
O.C. Register
Star of Texas: The Rangers pounded the Yankees again to take 2 of 3 in their series. Bob Nightengale, 1 of the best writers in baseball, tweeted that the Rangers are the greatest of all time. Some of us Cardinal fans are a little offended. Didn't we beat that ass last October?
Oh, and did we mention that the Angels are 8 1/2 games back of the Rangers? Didn't think so.
Mr. 400: Tip of the cap to Paul Konerko, who slugged, and we mean slugged, his 400th homer Wednesday in a 14-inning loss to the A's. Konerko hit a bomb to force extra innings in the 9th.
Did we mention the A's are playing better ball than the Angels? Didn't think so.

New molecule in cancer fight
A three-in-one 'supermolecule' could detect cancer early, help destroy tumours and monitor treatment.
The same protein could potentially be targeted to detect precancerous breast cells, deliver radiotherapy to destroy tumours and monitor the effectiveness of treatment, according to a Cancer Research UK study presented at the NCRI Cancer Conference in Liverpool yesterday.
Oxford University scientists at the Cancer Research UK/MRC Gray Institute for Radiation Oncology and Biology showed in the laboratory that a technique monitoring high levels of a protein called Gamma H2AX, found in many precancerous cell types including breast, lung and skin cancer, could be used to detect cancer early.
The team took microscopic images of fluorescent 'flag' molecules attached to an antibody which 'homes in' on and attaches to Gamma H2AX, to identify areas of DNA damage. The fluorescent 'snapshots' of Gamma H2AX revealed the location of pre-cancerous breast cancer cells at a very early stage.
Katherine Vallis, who led the study at the Cancer Research UK/MRC Gray Institute for Radiation Oncology and Biology at Oxford University, said: "This early research reveals that tracking this important molecule could allow us to detect DNA damage throughout the body. If larger studies confirm this, the protein could provide a new route to detect cancer at its very earliest stage – when it is easier to treat successfully."
Previously the team modified an antibody to target Gamma H2AX and deliver radiotherapy to breast cancer cells which contained high levels of the protein. This form of radiotherapy works by boosting DNA damage until cells can no longer repair mistakes – and die.
The results confirmed that the radioactive antibody killed breast cancer cells and slowed tumour growth.
Vallis added: "We need to confirm these findings in larger studies before we know if this approach could benefit patients.
"But these initial results show that it may be possible to track down cells with high levels of DNA damage, and destroy them before they became cancerous.
"One day we may be able to scan the body to map out the radioactive antibodies that have attached to the Gamma H2AX molecule. This could also allow doctors to paint a useful picture of how effective a treatment is."
Julie Sharp, Cancer Research UK's senior science information manager, said: "This important study reveals that targeting this key molecule could provide an exciting route for new ways to detect cancer at an earlier stage – and help to deliver radiotherapy and monitor its effect on tumours.
"Thousands of cancer patients in the UK, and millions worldwide, benefit from radiotherapy every year."

text: Spurs' scouting system has for a while now seemingly been to follow up on the players Liverpool are looking at, Dempsey and Sigurdsson come to mind. This time round the surprise name is that of Yevhen Konoplyanka, a Ukrainian attacking midfielder that plies his trade for Dnipro under former Spurs man Juande Ramos. The Ukrainian is believed to available for £16m, and his pace and eye for goal may be useful attributes for a Spurs side still woefully short up top. His capture would be a bitter blow to league rivals Liverpool.

AbstractHarmonia proposes creating a dynamic Bayesian networks and redescription/story telling (DBN-RS) tool to help solve problems such as the problem of condition-based maintenance for vehicles. DBN-RS offers two means of data mining. The first is DBN which is used in an automated mode on discrete event streams, and by applying an algorithm that marries frequent pattern mining with probabilistic modeling (DBN). DBN includes frequent pattern mining which is scalable to large data sets but does not exhibit the rigorous probabilistic interpretations that are the mainstay of the graphical models literature. DBN also includes probabilistic modeling providing a formal probabilistic basis to model relationships between time-indexed random variables but is intractable to learn in the general case – and hence they do not normally scale well. The second means of data mining is an interactive visualization method that permits human guided exploration of data to try to "connect the dots" and see if there is a relationship between entities or events (RS). The goal of this research is to identify causal relationships from large data sets using these means of data mining in one tool.

Thanks in advance Florian
I believe webs.com and similar web services provide such page builders.
Though I am not aware of any such service that would allow you to upload your own template and edit that.
Ok thank you for your answer. It looks interesting, although I was hoping there was a pagebuilder implemented in a wp-theme yet. But thats what I expected Thank you
I have a page builder you can place the text according to it and images as well.
Drop the module and start building.See The Spyropress Builder New Video Here:

Idling P Cs That Consume Less Juice
Computers account for an estimated 5% of total U.S. commercial energy consumption. The Environmental Protection Agency says much of this energy is wasted because too many PCs are left on when not in use. By minimizing such waste, says the EPA, $1 billion worth of electricity can be saved annually. The EPA's Energy Star Computers Program has signed up 17 partners, including IBM, Compaq, and Apple, to develop PCs and monitors that use 30 watts or less when idle -- 60% less than today's average.
Computers that comply will carry a special EPA logo. Among the first low energy models is one from IBM, scheduled for sale next May. Big Blue's "green" desktop machine has a flat-panel display and a low-voltage 486 chip, and makes heavy use of notebook computer components. The entire system uses 19 watts of power at rest and 46 watts in use, both about one-fifth the power of a standard IBM-brand PC.

So I almost had a heart attack today...
I was driving home doing about 30-35mph or so. I turned a corner and I felt a really nasty bump and a weird grinding noise. Then I hear hissing. TPMS goes off, and whatdya know...my rear right tire is losing pressure fast. I look to inspect the tire and theres a nice 1in gash in the sidewall, not to mention a healthy gash on the rim (18" ****!!!!) The rest of the story of pretty standard and uninteresting...I just proceeded to change the tire and called up the dealer.
But my question was...The past couple of days I was looking around my car doing spot checks. I went into the menu and looked at the TPMS to check my tire pressures. About two days ago by fronts were at 42 and my rears were at 38. Today my fronts were now at 40 and my rears at 36. I was just wondering if anyone else checked their tire pressures lately and saw a change like I did? I thought it was weird that the tires should lose pressure that quickly. 1 PSI/day? which means I'd have to inflate my tires every month? IMHO, that's a little unreasonable and I'd hate to think that my tires really were deflating at that rate.
Re: So I almost had a heart attack today...
Just 2 psi difference could be because of the outside temp. We had some days it was almost 90 but it was in the 60's-70's today on Long Island so that could possible be the reason.
Re: So I almost had a heart attack today...
Yeah, I thought about that too. It was a little over 80deg here in NJ, and I was out driving all day. It was most likely due to these two factors....off to the dealer tomorrow morning to resolve the issue. Hopefully no one else has this problem.
Re: So I almost had a heart attack today...
putting 1 mile on a car you will see an increase in their pressure... I cannot remember the specific time but your not actually supposed to "fill a tire" or "top a tire off" if has been driven on in the last couple hours because it will (or could) be inaccurate. as mentioned tire pressures go up and down, your just fine!
Re: So I almost had a heart attack today...
This is exactly why I bought the road hazard warranty. Im actually surprised I haven't damaged the wheels/tires yet given how horrible the roads are around here.
Re: So I almost had a heart attack today...
Temperature and pressure are intimately related. Higher temp, more pressure. To the tune of about 1psi per ten degrees Fahrenheit. So if you've had a wild temp swing, there you go.
Also, driving creates heat in the tire. Not only heat from the brakes (see the threads re: rotors), but from the deforming of the tire as it rotates. This is why they tell you check when cold- if you drove at all before checking pressures, something will be off.
Re: So I almost had a heart attack today...
Ditto on the cold temperature pressure. Driving will significantly raise the temperature of the tire, as will air and road temps, which is directly proportional to pressure increase... PV=nRT.
Watch a NASCAR race and you'll see this in action every time they pit. On a hot day they'll only fill their tires to around 13psi (sometimes lower!), since they want grip, and they know their pressures will come up after a few laps.
The recommended psi on consumer tires is always based on cold temp for an average day. In the winter, be sure to top off you tires as temperatures fall...in the summer, you may need to bleed them a bit.

Dalton Defenders Museum113 E 8th St
Coffeyville, KS 67337, US
"On October 5, 1892, the Dalton Gang tried to rob two banks in Coffeyville, Kansas. The gang was made up of Grat, Bob, and Emmett Dalton; Bill Power; and Dick Broadwell. As the gang crossed the Plaza to enter the two banks, the Daltons were recognized by townspeople, who raised the alarm. Citizens armed themselves with weapons from nearby hardware stores. When the bandits, with nearly $25,000, emerged from the Condon and First National Banks, they were fired upon. In the ensuring gun battle, eight men died. Today a visitor to Coffeyville can re-live the historic Dalton raid. The layout of the Plaza area remains much the same. The Perkins Building, home of the Condon Bank during the raid, has been completely restored. Bronze markers are placed in cement indicating where the defenders fell. Death Alley contains an Old Jail, where a recording relates details of the raid. In Elmwood Cemetery, a single granite stone marks the graves of Bob and Grant Dalton and Bill Power. Dick Broadwell, the other bandit killed in the raid, is buried in Hutchinson."
