Cost of child care
Cost of child care
How much does child care cost?
The first things most visitors to CareforKids.com.au want to know is where they can get child care and how much it will cost. As much as we would like to be able to provide a definitive answer to the cost question it is impossible.
Child care costs vary from provider to provider and from state to state and they are not regulated by the Government. Most child care providers charge a minimum daily rate or an hourly rate. Some places include everything in the price, such as food and nappies, while others, such as family day care, require parents to provide everything.
The table below provides a very rough guide of current costs for child care, it should be used as an indication only, as prices vary significantly.
Our unique cost widget is another way to check prices for centre based care, simply type in your postcode and the cost widget averages out the prices of providers in your area. For the exact costs of care in your area you will need to contact the providers directly.
|Type of child care
|Price Range
|$17-$25 per hour live in $17-$35 per hour live out (+agency fee)
|Nanny sharing
|$15+ per hour per family (+agency fee)
|Au pair
|$200-$300 pocket money per week (+agency fee)
|Mother's help
|$12 per hour live in $16 per hour live out (+agency fee)
|Long day care (child care centre)
|$70-$200 per day
|$45-$80 per day
|Family day care
|$5.50-$16.80 per hour dependent on location and service
|In-home care
|$20-$25 per hour
|$15-$35 per hour (+agency fee)
|Outside of School Hours Care
|$10-$20 per morning session
$15-$30 per afternoon session
While a breakdown of the costs of every type of care in each state and territory is beyond the scope of this article, we have sourced some information from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) which will hopefully give you a little more information about what prices to expect as you look for care.
Every three years the ABS conducts a nationwide Child Care Survey which presents information about the use of, and demand for, child care for children aged 0-12 years. The last survey was completed in 2014 and the findings provide some useful information on average child care costs across Australia.
It is worth pointing out that the costs reported here are the costs to parents before the Child Care Benefit and the Child Care Rebate have been taken into account.
The ABS survey showed that in June 2014, more than 1.8 million (48 per cent) children aged up to 12 years usually attended some kind of early childhood education and care service.
As with previous survey years long day care was the most commonly used type of formal care (14 per cent) and this was followed by before and/or after school care programs (8 per cent).
For the majority of children who usually attended formal care (56 per cent or 515,100), the usual net cost was less than $100 per week.
Long day care costs were typically higher than for other forms of care, with a median cost at $102 per week, see graph below.
A large majority of children (91 per cent or 1.1 million) who usually attended informal care (such as care provided by family members or friends) did so at no cost.
Children who usually attended formal care, median cost per week by type of care
The best way to determine the cost of child care in your area is to contact a few of the child care services and chat to them directly. Think about whether you would prefer to have everything provided for your child or whether you would prefer to send your child off each day with nappies and food. This decision alone will help you determine the best type of child care for your family and will directly affect the cost.
When comparing costs it is also important to think about peripheral expenses such as the price of travelling to and from the child care service in terms of petrol, public transport and/or convenience. These factors can have a considerable effect on the total price you end up paying for your child care.

"Someday I'll fly, Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
'Cuz I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for
I'm bigger than my body now…"
–John Mayer, Bigger Than My Body
I've been blogging since 2003. I started out on LiveJournal, and used my given name. I only commented on other LiveJournal bloggers.
Then I became aware of the blogosphere. When I made the move to Blogger in 2007, I used my nickname, Dory, and I went out of my way to never use my real name, and kept mum on the rest of my family's real names. I began commenting on blogs all over and cultivating relationships with other bloggers.
Then I became aware of Social Networking, and that blew apart my M.O. I got on Facebook, and only used the name "Dory." But then I began wondering how many people I might miss out on reconnecting with if they searched for me by my given name. I decided, eh, screw it; I'll use my and Tom's real name and still guard the boys' names. I put my real name on my Facebook account and moved onto more earth-shattering matters such as the best buy on 85/15 Ground Beef and switching from Bounce to Downy.
Now my Facebook has links to my blog, and my blog has links back to Facebook.
I told you that to tell you this.
I wrote a couple of posts about my experience with domestic violence, and I met Maggie, the Bonafide Innernetz Aingel who started up Violence Unsilenced. The experience of actually writing those posts was painful. I physically shook while I poured out my pain, but knowing that I may be able to give someone that little oomph to exit an abusive relationship was worth it. I mulled over writing more, but I have a couple concerns.
First of all, parts of my memory are fractured.
For instance, I remember getting into a fight with The Girlbeater over "our" money. He demanded that I sign over my wages to him, and I refused. Before I knew it, I was laying face up on the bed with him straddling me, my arms and shoulders pinned by his knees, one hand hobbling my wrists and the other fist drawn back poised to strike. The bedroom door opened and his father asked, "What's going on here?"
"Nothing that's any of your business. Shut the door," he directed in a voice low, deliberate, and strained with rage.
And his father, without a word, SHUT THE DOOR.
I hate to leave you hanging there, but that's where the memory ends. My therapist explained to me that's sometimes how our brains deal with trauma that's just too much for us to handle. If or when I'm ready, I may receive the conclusion of that memory.
I want to write more about my experiences, but how can I possibly tell you a story like the above? Either I leave you hanging, or I pretty much make shit up. Neither option lends itself to the authenticity I want to bring.
Secondly, the other factor in the equation is The Girlbeater himself.
A couple weeks ago when I was on Facebook, his face popped up on the People You May Know box. I almost threw up. Literally. This meant that one of my friends from my high school graduating class is friends with him. How can I handle the possibility of him finding me on Facebook and then heading on over here, if I have such a visceral reaction just to his face popping up unexpectedly?
I have a tangled knot of thoughts and I can't find either end.
I want to speak, to be unsilenced.
But I'm gagged by the possibility of him showing up here. I just don't even know how I would handle it. What if he *gulp* contacted me? What if he challenged my memories to a debate?
He's currently awaiting trial for kidnapping and rape. It's amazingly easy to get my physical address. What is he capable of?
I don't know.
He has no right to know of any details of my life, but here I am, waving them all over the damn internet and hanging big flashing neon arrows pointed towards them.
I want to tell you a story about a young woman finding her first love and being battered by him in every way possible.
I can't.
It's not fair.

Ink Jets: Printing With a Light Touch
An easy way to make ink jet cartridges last longer is to use your printer's draft-mode setting. This lays down less ink on a page, saving as much as 50 percent on the per-page printing cost. Your pages will look light (see draft, left, and normal samples below from the HP Deskjet 5150), but will be fine for quickly checking layouts or a Web page. Many printers offer a range of ink-saving options for a gradual trade-off between print quality and print speed.

I remember the chilling news stories in 1994. There was genocide in Rwanda. Between 500,000 and 1 million Tutsis were murdered by the dominant Hutus in that country. This week marks the 20th anniversary of the beginning of that horrific event.
This week on "Interfaith Voices," I interviewed a BBC reporter who covered that story on the ground: David Belton. Also part of the interview was Cameron Hudson, the director of policy for the Center for the Prevention of Genocide at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Hudson provided some backstory, noting that the old colonial rulers, the Germans and Belgians, had a hand in stirring up the hatreds and rivalries that came to dominate Rwanda after independence.
Most chilling, however, was the answer that came when I asked about the role of religious institutions in the genocide. Belton pointed out that the country was largely Catholic, but most Catholic priests and evangelical ministers fled the country. A couple of very courageous priests, including a Franciscan who sheltered him and his camera team, remained, come what may. As a result of the departure of the clergy, most of the massacres took place in churches because they became mere buildings, not true places of refuge or worship, and were not overseen by a respected member of the clergy.
The Catholic archbishop in Rwanda did not call out the genocide for what it was, even though the Vatican had named it quite plainly. Belton asked him why. The reasons are complex, but they boil down to this: He would have been killed. Not many bishops are Oscar Romeros.
Listen to my interview with David Belton and Cameron Hudson on Rwanda.

What does "in the clear" mean here? From what you say, you only get
statistically significant results if you make specific assumptions
about the error term. Sounds like a very fragile model to me. I think
even experts in your field, whatever it is, would want more context
(there is not really any context here) to comment.

The latest video update is below. If you're unable to see the embedded video,
If you don't mind, please be sure to "like" the video by clicking the thumbs-up while it's paused. Thanks!
Additional, non-video updates
- If you live in central Iowa, be sure to pick up a copy of The Des Moines Register this Sunday (May 27) and flip to the Iowa Life section. As I've hinted in some of the video blogs (and totally given away in the latest one), the Register is running a story about Libby and I, our journey, this blog, the Let's Do This documentary, etc., complete with photos and even video (the video will only be available online, of course). In addition to the photographer and reporter being at treatment number six, I've done several interviews and they've taken both photos and video at my church — I'm excited to see how the whole thing comes together. I know Libby and I will be picking up a copy or five this Sunday!
- You may recall that the issue of fertility after chemotherapy has been a significant one for Libby and I, and for many others undergoing chemo treatment as well. During our last oncologist appointment, I was asking our doctor how soon after treatment I can get tested for fertility and his response was something along the lines of "You won't need to. You'll be totally fertile." Say what?! From many of the things Libby and I had been told and read, we assumed I would probably be sterile and so responded accordingly. Now, our oncologist reassured us that he would have recommended sperm banking anyway, but we were (and are) still pretty shocked and —obviously — very happy.
Just to be sure, I did some digging and found
this 2008 article published in the Annals of Oncologywhich says, among other things: "With ABVD [the chemotherapy regimen I am receiving], azoospermia1 was observed in fewer patients, ranging from 0% to 4%. In our cohort, all patients treated with ABVD have preserved spermatogenesis.2" Translation: There is a very good chance Libby and I will be able to conceive children naturally, despite being treated with ABVD chemotherapy. Praise the Lord!
- In the video, I eloquently allude to the fact that "my butt hurts," and then hop into an epsom salt bath. I should explain. (Warning: In the interest of full disclosure, this will be TMI for some people, but please recall that I'm trying to be transparent in order to help others who are going through the process.) As you've no doubt ascertained by now, one of the side effects of both the chemotherapy itself and the medications I've been taking is extreme constipation and other gastrointestinal issues. Well, a side-effect of those side-effects has been unpredictable and at times extreme duress on my lower rectum, which has produced
anal fissures(read at your own risk). Essentially, every time I am actually able go to the bathroom is a very painful experience. Lately, the pain subsides rather quickly and returns later in the day to be almost unbearable — hence the epsom salt baths. Libby and I are trying to be proactive about it; we tried to get a referral to a colorectal specialist, but it turns out I'm not allowed to see anyone until after treatment has concluded due to my super-low white blood cell count. Until then, it looks like I'll be taking a lot of baths.
- I am scheduled for a second pulmonary function test today, which will give the doctors an indication of how much (if any) the chemotherapy is impacting my lungs. If nothing else, it will be fun to go inside
this machineagain. Keep praying that my lungs are holding up!
That's all for now. Thank you for your continued prayers and support! (Oh, and if you haven't purchased and/or listened to the

Reasons are revealed why counseling, because it is problem-centered, invariably involves sinful conversations. Central to ministering is helping individuals in need to overcome their fixation on their problems and encouraging them to become Christ-centered on a daily basis. This book provides ways of equipping those in need with the truths of scripture and encouraging them to live the daily life that will be honoring to the Lord and beneficial for meeting life's problems without sinfully talking about them. - Back cover.

With the holidays getting closer, retailers are putting together their forecasts of the toys most wanted by kids this year.
Discount retailer Target (TGT) is including video games, electronics and sporting equipment in its holiday toy list for the first time this year. Uncertainty over the U.S. economy and lackluster toy sales in Europe, Australia and North America have some retailers worried about the strength of this year's holiday shopping season, the Associated Press notes.
At least one analyst warns that toy sales this year will sink to $21 billion, down 2% from last year.
Here are some of the hottest toys for this holiday season, according to Target.
- Sesame Street's Big Hugs Elmo
- Hasbro's (HAS) Furby Boom
- Mattel (MAT) Monster High Power Ghouls
- SpinMaster's Flutterbye Flying Fairy
- LeapFrog LeapPad2 Explorer Disney Princess Bundle
- Razor Lighted Wheel-A-Scooter.
You can find Target's full list of the top toys for this year at its website.

The federal government has allocated $2.7 million to fix four black spots on ACT roads and another $3.2 million to improve the Federal Highway.
ACT Senator Zed Seselja and Assistant Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Jamie Briggs announced the black spot funding on Friday morning.
More than $1.1 million will go to improving the Tuggeranong Parkway between Hindmarsh Drive and Sulwood Drive in Fisher, including the installation of animal fencing, roadside lighting, signage, line marking and barriers.
Similar work will occur on the Tuggeranong Parkway between Cotter Road and Hindmarsh Drive in Weston worth nearly $750,000.
Mr Seselja said the funding would deliver safer roads for Canberrans.
"Black spot projects target dangerous roads to save lives and reduce road trauma, ensuring Australia's roads are made safer and more productive for all road users," he said.
"An evaluation of the black spot program has found that fatal and casualty crashes are reduced at treated sites by 30 per cent, equalling one life per year for every 84 projects."
Another $600,000 will be allocated to install traffic signals at the intersection of Pialligo Avenue and Oaks Estate Road, with another $200,000 of work to be conducted on Ginninderra Drive in Evatt.
ACT motorists have been encouraged to nominate additional roads for consideration by lodging an application with the Department of Infrastructure.
The black spot program will be managed by an ACT based panel with representatives from the National Capital Authority, Pedal Power, the Motorcycle Riders' Association, the Australasian College of Road Safety, the NRMA, and the ACT government.
Mr Briggs said the project was expected to prevent 25 crashes causing injuries over 10 years and deliver economic benefits close to $18 million.
The Federal Highway will also be improved after the territory and federal government announced $4 million of funding, with work expected to begin later this year.
Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Warren Truss said the program would fund much-needed upgrades such as shoulder and centre-line widening, ripple strips, wire-rope barriers, overtaking lanes, turning lanes and pavement improvements.
ACT Minister for Roads and Parking Mick Gentleman said the territory government would provide $800,000 while $3.2 million would come from the federal government.
"This program is another example of the Australian and ACT governments' commitment to working together to build productive infrastructure for the local community," he said.

Doha (AFP) Nov 26, 2012
Qatar on Monday shrugged off criticism of its record-busting carbon emissions and instead extolled the virtues of its key export, natural gas, as it opened a major UN conference on climate change.
At the start of the annual UN talks, Qatar's deputy prime minister Abdullah Bin Hamad al-Attiyah sought to deflect attention from his country's reputation as the world's biggest per-capita emitter of greenhouse gases.
A key issue at the 12-day meeting in Doha will be to review countries' emissions targets to see if they align with the campaign to combat climate change.
As a result, some observers say the Gulf state of Qatar, as one of the planet's biggest producers of fossil fuels, is unsuitable to chair the conference.
"We should not concentrate on the 'per capita', we should concentrate on the amount... from each country, individually what they produce, because it goes to the air, open space," Attiya told journalists.
He said that "even countries that produce coal" had in the past hosted the UN talks, and sought to portray gas as a safer, more energy-efficient alternative.
"Gas is the right choice to reduce emissions," said Attiyah, a former energy minister who is also president of the talks under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Qatar is the world's fourth biggest natural gas exporter, according to the CIA world factbook.
The International Energy Agency says that in 2009, 20 percent of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fuel combustion came from natural gas, after 43 percent from coal and 37 percent from oil.
Under the Kyoto Protocol, due to be extended in Doha, about 40 rich nations and the EU agreed to binding targets for reducing Earth-warming emissions by five percent on average from 2008-2012.
Developing countries were not given targets under that deal, but several have pledged voluntary caps.
Qatar is not among them and Attiyah doused expectations that it may do so as a symbolic gesture. One hundred percent of Qatar's electricity is derived from fossil fuels.
"We have a target in how to reduce our emissions very dramatically," he said, without giving any numbers.
"We have a lot of projects, we invest a lot of money (in technological research and development)... We are the country to do all the efforts. We don't do it only to show we are good boys, we do it for our nation, our country."

The manifest is
gone, the unmanifest has descended put differently, worship is the art of making the murti
disappear. It is the art of slowly dropping the
manifest and entering into the unmanifest. When you go to the temple you see only the
murti, because you are not able to see the worship itself.
If you see Meera in a temple, you see Meera and the murti
of Bhagwan Shree Krishna, but for Meera both the murti and Meera are dissolved in the
bhakti, the worship has happened.
Not only we developed the science of putting murti in
temples but we also developed the science of disposable murtis.
The murti is made for several samkaras and in several
annual pujas like Saraswati or Durga puja. The worship goes for hours or days.

This web site presents the intellectual genealogy of the past and present faculty of the chemistry department of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Faculty are grouped by current, emeritus, and past (not current or emeritus). Each box of the genealogy shows the faculty member's full name, institution, and year of the Ph.D. (or M.S. if appropriate and noted). The person directly below the faculty member is the Ph.D. advisor of the faculty member (chemical "parent"). The advisor's institution and year of the Ph.D. degree are also provided. That person's advisor (chemical "grandparent" to the original faculty member) with associated information is listed below, etc. The genealogy is traced, when possible, back to the three persons who are at the base of the chemical genealogy tree, C. L. Berthollet, J. J. Berzelius, and A. F. Fourcroy. Methods used in the construction of these genealogies are described in Adams, D.L. and Tambouret, Y. J. Chem. Educ. 2004, 81(6), 815-817. Comments on this genealogy should be forwarded to Prof. David L. Adams at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Chaco Hipthong EcoTread
These sandals are my tried-and-true summer staple. They may look like everyday flip-flops but with an orthopedic footbed and custom-fit adjustable straps, I can cover miles without aching heels and back. As an added bonus, they are also repairable. If a strap or tread wears (and after three years mine are going strong) simply ship them back to Chaco to have repairs made for a fair fee. Truly a great sandal that works with shorts or a casual black dress. Perfect if you pack light and prefer versatile pieces in your carryon luggage.

Cameron excited about young Ringgold girls soccer team's prospects
For Tom Cameron, the longtime soccer coach who is entering his fifth season as the lead mentor of the Ringgold Lady Rams, he has seen a lot of scenarios as his respective teams prepared for a new season.
After graduating eight seniors from last year's team, and considering that Ringgold plays in the daunting Section 4 AAA, it would be understandable for Cameron to be dreading the start of the season.
However, on the contrary, Cameron is excited and ready to go.
"We are a very young team but that means (the staff) gets to teach more," he said while quipping, "I like to think I am a teacher without a teaching certificate!"
The Lady Rams have as many freshmen (six) as they do seniors, and they also have 10 sophomores and five juniors.
"We are realistic considering how young we are," Cameron said. "The goal is always the playoffs, and that won't change.
"We will just have to rely on a few experienced players."
At the top of that list is senior sweeper Jill Bartman, a four-year starter, junior forward Alaina Nickolls, a three-year starter, and a pair of two-year starters in senior goalkeeper Jordan Curry and sophomore forward Brooke Vollmer.
"Jill is one of the best players in the section," Cameron said. "And the other returning starters, they will have to provide leadership and experience."
Bartman, Nickolls, Curry and senior stopper Meagan Hyslop are the team captains.
While all of the starting positions have not been filled, others are set.
Junior Caylee Miller will play the midfield, junior Bailee Bove is at forward, junior Ashley Parnell is at midfield, and the sophomore duo of Alyssa Skrinjorich and Kelsey Kaufman will be on defense.
Also seeing time will be senior midfielder Tiffany Behanna, senior defender Rebecca Prodroky, senior midfielder Caroline Passareth, and junior forward Taylor Koziel.
Another junior, midfielder Casadi Patterson, may or may not be cleared later in the season due to an injury.
So what does Cameron see as the main key for the season?
"We have to possess the ball more than our opponents," he said. "If we do that, we will limit the other teams.
"We won't necessarily have a potent offense, so we have to control the ball."
Cameron's expectations?
"We want everyone, coaches and players, to give 100 percent every day," he said. "I expect to do us and I am excited about it. I really am thrilled to get the season going."
Ringgold is in Section 4 AAA with Albert Gallatin, Baldwin, Bethel Park, McKeesport, Mt. Lebanon and Trinity.
The Lady Rams host Yough Saturday at noon to kick off their season.

The Exhibit Museum of Natural History says its dinosaur bones are for sale. By buying a bone, you can help the Museum mount Michigans first Deinonychus skeleton.
Individuals, groups, families, and school classes can help connect those dry bones by sponsoring a tooth ($5), finger bone ($10), femur ($100) or the Terrible Claw ($50).
Pound for pound, Deinonychus is considered one of the most ferocious of the dinosaurs with a mouth full of sharp teeth, clawed hands, and a large, sharp claw on the second toe, which it used to rip open its hapless victims.
More than just another set of bones, the Deinonychus is important from a scientific view. Its discovery helped to dispel the idea that all dinosaurs were huge, sluggish beasts, said John Klausmeyer, one of the Museums preparators. In fact, Deinonychus is very bird-like in many details of its skeleton, and is considered to be closely related to birds. The theory that birds may be a type of dinosaur owes much to the discovery of Deinonychus.
Four feet tall and nine feet long and weighing between 100 and 150 pounds, Deinonychus was probably warm-blooded, with both its fingers and toes armed with large claws. It hunted in packs and was an active animal designed for speed. The long, stiff tail was used as counterbalance and could be held out rigidly when the Deinonychus ran. This rigidity was also important when the animal needed to balance on one foot while slashing with the other. Its large eyes pointed partly forward, helping it judge distances while leaping. Its brain was particularly large for a reptile.
The Exhibit Museum will send a personalized certificate for each bone sponsored, and sponsors names will appear on a permanent donor plaque.
Approximately 80,000 people go through the Exhibit Museum each year.
For more information about the Buy A Bone project, or to sponsor a bone, contact the Exhibit Museum, Buy A Bone, 1109 Geddes Ave., Ann Arbor, MI, 48109-1079, or call 764-0478.

Are We All Just Too Easily Offended?
I don't know if it's just me, but every news story I read today is another tale of people getting bent out of shape. Have we built a culture of super sensitivity, or are there just so many things to object to nowadays? To the evidence!
- Barack Obama's campaign has just persuaded a delegate to step down after she was ticketed for describing her neighbor's children's behavior using the word, "monkeys." The kids were playing in the tree next door to her house. According to police, the woman "came outside and told the children to quit playing in the tree like monkeys." The woman says she didn't want the children to get hurt, and she even calls her own grandchildren "monkeys." Why the ticket and her banishment as a delegate? The children were African American. Obama's campaign called her use of the word monkey "divisive and unacceptable."
There's more offensive evidence if you'll just
- After Absolut Vodka's "In An Absolut World" ad showing Mexico taking over part of the US, people are now calling for a boycott of the liquor. According to the movement's website, they're fired up because "the ad's message to the Mexican audience is "In an Absolut (ie [sic] Perfect) world, 1/3 of the US is returned to Mexican control." Just wait until they get a look at Absolut's brand new ad targeting the gay and lesbian drinking population.
- At a Texas middle school, a student fulfilling an assignment for history class, "to make a protest sign for or against an issue," chose illegal immigration. The sign she made following the assignment's directions read, "If you love our nation, stop illegal immigration." News of the sign got passed around lunch and angered a group of Latino students — who assaulted her. When she went for help, she was ordered back to class and told she could not call her parents. Her father is calling the incident, "a racially motivated crime."
Are we caught in an ever accelerating loop competing to see just who's more offended? Of who can "reject and denounce" the quickest and loudest? I know I've hit you with three stories that might strike you differently — I'd love to know if you think some are valid points of contention, and some are examples of how we're all just too darn touchy.
Let me know — I promise I won't be offended.

hi all,
I'm looking for advice on web app scanner.
It has to:
Allow scanning only selected pages from the website.
It has to be able to be used in a production environment ( so must not generate too much traffic).
I tried few but they always want to follow the links, and some seem to generate enough traffic to affect the response times of the sites.
Last one I tried was skipfish - but it seems to want to scan everything ( as you would expect of a Google tool).
I'm looking for web app scanner, that can be used to scan just selected few pages...
any ideas?

Pasadena CA (JPL) Mar 05, 2014
The team operating NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission successfully completed, on Feb. 19, 2014, the initial post-launch power-on and checkout of the spacecraft's Electra Ultra High Frequency Transceiver. This wraps up the initial checkouts of all payloads on the MAVEN spacecraft, with everything performing as expected.
MAVEN will examine the upper atmosphere of Mars to provide understanding about processes that led to the loss of much of the original Martian atmosphere.
Data and analysis could tell planetary scientists the history of climate change on the Red Planet and provide further information on the history of planetary habitability. The spacecraft was launched on Nov. 18, 2013, and will enter orbit around Mars in September 2014.
The Electra radio payload is part of the NASA Mars Exploration Program's Mars Relay Network. This network is composed of orbiters, including NASA's Mars Odyssey and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, that provide reliable, high-data-rate relay communications links to landers on the surface of Mars, including NASA's Opportunity and Curiosity rovers.
Using relay via orbiters, compared with the rovers' capability to transmit directly to Earth, greatly increases science data return from the Martian surface.
MAVEN will be available to provide relay services on a contingency basis during its prime science mission and may routinely provide relay support during an anticipated extended mission. MAVEN's Electra payload is provided and operated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.
Since launch, the mission team has checked out MAVEN's three suites of science instruments. The Particles and Fields Package contains six instruments to characterize the solar wind and the ionosphere of Mars.
The Remote Sensing Package will determine global characteristics of the upper atmosphere and ionosphere.
The Neutral Gas and Ion Mass Spectrometer will measure the composition of Mars' upper atmosphere.

The Sulphur Springs boys basketball program got respect from their peers by finishing second in highly-competitive district race.
They earned it and that was noted when fellow coaches in 14-4A named Wildcats head coach Jeremy Josey, Co-Coach of the Year with Jacob Skinner of Texas High.
While Skinner coached the district champion, Josey was also acknowledged to taking a team which had not been successful in recent years to the playoffs. This season the Wildcats won seven district games in a row including impressive victories over Texas High and Marshall.
"This is just another step for us, understanding that individual awards are a direct result of the team having success. Overall it was a great season for the Wildcats, but the 2013-2014 season is behind us. We are not going keep moving forward as a program if we keep looking back. Next year has already started for our underclassmen and the coaching staff," Josey said.
Wildcat senior point guard Isaiah Lacy was named Co-Offensive Player of the Year sharing the honor with Tiandre Jackson-Young of Texas High. Cain Cody, a sophomore post, earned Defensive Player of the Year.
Wildcats named to the first team were: Darian Dial-Hall, senior and junior Jaylon Dugan. Selected for the second team - Javaron Ross, senior.
Josey continued, "I am very excited for our seniors and to have all five starters receive recognition is a tribute to them and their hard work. It speaks volumes to the dedication and commitment that these young men have. Four out of five of these individuals began with us last year and contributed significantly at the varsity level and bought in to what the coaching staff asked them to do. They went through some tough times last season, but matured and believed we could raise a banner this season for winning district or a play off game."
Other players named superlative include: District MVP, Jamal Ray, Texas High and Newcomer of the Year, Jaylen Rhone, Texas High, soph.
The following is the list of the remainder of the all-district team, not including Sulphur Springs:
First team
Jonathan Mitchell, soph., Hallsville; Shimar Jones, Jay McKnight juniors; Chris Brown, senior, Marshall; Andrew Flangan, D'Aundra Fields and K.D. Fields, seniors, Mount Pleasant; Blake Adams, senior, Pine Tree; Darion King, Taylor Jackson, seniors, Texas High.
Second team
Nolan Johnson, Ryan Cole, sophs., Hallsville; Gerad Williams, senior, Curtis Kadar, junior, Marshall; D'Andrew Davis, senior, Da'Traeveon Rockwell, junior, Mount Pleasant; Caleb Chumley, Dalvin Manns, seniors, Pine Tree; Damian Willis, Jarion Anderson, juniors, Texas High.

A Fuel Economy Service or Tune-Up will keep your Skoda running at peak efficiency.
A great service. Very communicative and helpful staff, making the experience much less painful than it could have been. Thoroughly efficient job done and good value too. I would certainly recommend Car Technic and will be returning when the next car saga strikes
Great service. Kept me informed all the way. Gave honest, valuable and important advice on the car's status. Highly recommended. A*
Quite simply, brilliant! The service and care was first rate. Will definitely be using Car Technic in the future and would not hesitate to recommend on.
The price for the service was a bit over what was quoted, and unfortunately my car needed a new part which took the price well over the quote. However communication with Daniel was clear and timely, he was able to pick up and drop off the car which was great and he kept me informed of what needed to be done and he was able to order and fit the new part all at the sometime and provided a fully costed receipt, all of which was appreciated. So while more than I was hoping to pay, I was happy with the job and would use Daniel again.
They are very nice people. Repair the car next day. I will recommend this garage very highly. I will use them again
Two weeks after accepting their quote I am still waiting for them to call me back and confirm the job. Not impressed...
Yes i would. Quick simple. No fuss andngo the job done on time.
They provided and a excellent repairs my nissan micra, aclutch change and also repairs to damaged bumper. The owner was friendly and provided good customer service. I would definitely recommend this garage to anyone.
good job
Great work and service and really nice and friendly bloke 100% use again and send friends and family to him
Same day response and completion of work. Price was25 per cent less than quote from static garage usually used.
Excellent service, very quick, had a problem with one of my locking nuts but Adam sorted it out with no problem. Would definitely recommend and use again
Car Fixed by Adam, it's good to find a mechanic that knows what he 's talking about and gives honest advice. you wont find a better mechanic
Great guy, really friendly and stuck with the problem into he figured it out. Car is running better than it ever had (although, I've only had it a few weeks...)! Recommended, and would definitely use them again if I have more trouble.
The power steering hose was replaced. Excellent job on a common focus fault. Would recommend this garage for work in future.
Both driveshafts were replaced and, car now accelerates flawlessly. Would recommend this garage for any work in future.
Great mechanic; easy going and accommodating. Recommend
Not many mechanics out there that are efficient, cheap, have integrity and know their stuff. This place is awesome. well definitely be my regular mechanic now. Thanks
very good job, were very friendly
Everything was fine
Did a great job with the bodywork repair and confirmed with me before carrying out any work
Great price great work I'll definitely be going back when the next job comes up
Great job, good price. Very happy.

Dancer and choreographer Will Rawls (b. 1978) recently finished performing in British-German artist Tino Sehgal's (b. 1976) This Variation, in dOCUMENTA (13). Founded in 1955 in the wake of World War II, documenta is an exhibition of international contemporary art occurring every five years in Kassel, Germany. In This Variation, audience-members enter a darkened room in Hugenottenhaus, a disused building in Kassel constructed by migrant workers in the early nineteenth century. A group of contemporary dancers, singers, musicians, physical theater actors and a mime respond with sounds, speech fragments and movement phrases, what Rawls calls a "dramaturgy of events". The work is made live, as the order, volume, and direction of the dramaturgy are decided by and communicated amongst the dancers in direct response to the audience. While Sehgal eschews standard museum interpretive devices for his work (wall texts, press images and even contracts when work is acquired into permanent collections), his work is understood through the encounters and memories of the players and publics who interact with it. Below, Studio Museum Assistant Curator Thomas J. Lax sits down to Gchat with Rawls about his experience in This Variation.
Thomas Lax: In the press release for dOCUMENTA (13), curator Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev states that the exhibition "takes a spatial or, rather, 'locational' turn, highlighting the significance of a physical place." Can you talk about the relationship between This Variation and Hugenottenhaus?
Will Rawls: Although the room This Variation takes place in was a concert and performance space where musicians played for balls, it is not a revisionist history of Hugenottenhaus. In an alternate reading, Christov-Bakagriev's prioritization of locational significance could be applied to the significance of the presence of people—both dancers and visitors. This Variation places the visitor inside of their bodies at this particular place and time in their art-going experience. Many of Tino's work carry a "this" in the title. For me "this" refers to this particular moment in time, with this particular visitor or reader, and with this particular interpreter. It is an attempt to draw a visitor into direct dialogue with the work that tries to illuminate their presence and the presence of the work in the space where they both happen to be.
The room we are in is effective in that as a player and as a visitor, one can feel the room come to life and shift around oneself; there is a sense of containment and proximity that is crucial to the sensory experience of the work. The experience of living in Kassel is a kind of social project to me—we have replanted our lives here and we understand ourselves somehow as works of art and also real people who need to make connections to our surroundings and each other, build rhythms, tour the exhibitions, etc. I imagine a visitor gets the sense, and are implicated in the fact that these works of art are inhabited and peopled. The visitors' presence refracts, complicates, co-produces ours. And vice versa.
TL: That's a fully-bodied and helpful way of describing the "variation" named by the work. Like Tino's other works that disallow expository writing, This Variation's title is perhaps the most legible place where text about the work appears. Can you talk about some of the specific variations you've experienced as a dancer in the work?
WR: What This Variation was on June 9 is far from what it was at the end of the run in September. In the trial runs of the work in March in Rennes at the Musée de la Danse and in April in Geneva, the early rehearsal groups began to work out what kinds of internal cues the piece would need to enable us to shift the work in a direction that would seem to respond to the visitors, or room tone or the vibe of the group. It is a very responsive work—it could be retitled This Responsiveness or This Listening. For the players, having a set of choreographies that we can play, like a deck of cards, allows for a certain range of choice. At times, it is crucial to cut something short that the group has wandered into. At other times, it is crucial to pump up our energy or hush down a group of loud visitors who are raucously fumbling their way through the room. Having the range of choice then allows us (and this happens more and more) to head into the unknown when we are improvising music and dancing, when we are composing vocal tracks or dancing outside of the set material of the piece. There is a lot of unknown territory, physical and vocal terrain that varies depending on, again, the players present in the room. And THIS is the piece. It is for me. And I think it is for Tino as well.
TL: If the visitor doesn't know where the choreographed sections end and the improvisation begins, why is their distinction important?
WR: Their distinction is important to me personally, as a player in the work, because I feel able to step away from the "deck of cards", introduce a unique sound, or add to someone else's unique sound or movement. These departures keep the work interesting and make sense to me in response to the task of constructing the work new every time we step into that room. Other players have other agendas and interests; mine happen to be revealing the shift from set material into improvisation, and back again, revealing some kind of mechanisms at work, communicating that the work is living and breathing and thinking, as well as singing and dancing. There is no prescription for how this might happen; sometimes it has to do with resisting what song has been initiated, what card has been played, and running some kind of sonic interference or stopping it or speeding it up or making a sign that the spatial configuration of the song should change—complicating the sheer pleasure of the song and dance routine, making it clear to the visitors that not everyone in the room is ready or willing to launch into the same song and dance at a given moment. It is asserting my individuality inside of a deeply social practice. Some songs and dances feel right following what has come before; others feel really wrong. Sometimes remixing a song feels better than doing it outright; and at my most favorite moments we leave the set material behind and compose something we couldn't have expected. I believe the visitors can sense this if they stay with us long enough. Of course, all of this is totally subjective judgment. The piece is politics and politics is variations on a few themes. We players have developed an enormous amount of respect for each other, but this does not mean that we always arrive at consensus.
TL: How is the "unknown" performative territory you're describing communicated to the audience? How is the audience interpellated more generally? documenta is an international art event, and even if the majority might understand the English and German the players speak, the American pop songs you sing will inevitably have a different resonance for audience members of different cultural or linguistic backgrounds. Can you talk about how viewers are guided in what is a space that is physically dark and whose reference points are, metaphorically, variedly lit?
WR: At times when we are speaking in English in the work, I feel that the non-native English-speaking visitors might have a tricky time following us. But the speaking is a small part of the work. The use of music and movement are the primary elements of the work and these have a broader impact. In terms of the use of American pop music, it is widespread enough at this point to have more of a connective effect on a general public than an alienating one. The question of American pop music's cultural hegemony, for better or for worse, is a language that many people speak, or have heard. It is a conscious choice of Tino's to work within this American pop format (though some of the music comes from European bands). The familiar music presents a kind of "history painting," in Tino's words, of a certain cultural moment. But the question of who relates to this history painting is up for grabs; it is a decidedly limited, Western framework, but perhaps so is the concept of history painting as such. The work does not have a system for guiding people through the experience of cultural difference and I think this is one of its strengths. I do not relate to all of the songs we do, which also motivates me to make different choices about when and how they occur in the piece; this navigation of my own feelings inside of the work could be a way to reflect a visitor's navigation.
When the improvisation starts, this is when the piece veers away from specific references to the past, even a recent past, and articulates a right nowness. We are creating a sonic and physical reality that is fresh, or at least deeply personal to each player and which morphs and stretches into a kind of group practice of reality. At the same time, the unity of us knowing what the choreography is and them not knowing also maintains a kind of distance. This is where the improvised material comes in. This is where the piece is really thinking differently. As players, we are thinking differently about ourselves, what we each might be producing and consequently, at the best times, this can appeal to a visitor's listening skills as they step into the unknown with us.
TL: The work is produced as much by Sehgal's prompts as by the players and the audience members. Can you talk about how you see authorship functioning in this work?
WR: The piece certainly brings up and contributes to a dialogue about authorship that has been circulating more widely as large museum projects involve more and more dancers. The concept of improvising a structure to the piece every day belongs to Tino. But Tino also worked very closely with Louise Höjer (who has installed or worked within every project of his for the last seven years) and Frank Willens (who installs much of Tino's dance work). Tino concretized the movement and vocal ideas in and through the bodies of Louise and Frank. Then when I arrived in Berlin to rehearse for the work in May, Tino, Louise and Frank were there to teach us a selected number of songs to which they had worked out voice parts with the help of composer Ari Benjamin Meyer. But as we were learning these songs, Tino kept repeating, "This is not the piece." He wanted us to be quite clear about the fact that it would in fact be the process of choosing when and how these choreographies would come into play at a given moment in the work. The idea of authorship being shared and belonging to multiple people—as is often true of group dance work—is highly complex, filtered, process, re-processed and honed in a deep exchange.
TL: Tell me about one specific memory you have of an exchange with an audience.
WR: Sometime in August, a group of eight young boys came into the room, and as is often the case with younger people, they loved running around in the dark and agitating each other, darting in and around the adults (whose eyes adjust more slowly), making noise, spooking themselves. They were part of a birthday party, which I think is very cool. When I was eleven I don't think I would have chosen documenta as a destination for my birthday. They were disruptive, but only in a classic theater going sense. If we were at a contemporary dance concert they would have been subdued. But they were "using" the piece, producing their own experience, which is always really nice to see. After they had been in the room for a while it became evident to our group that we needed to find a way to integrate them, to channel their energy into the work—to respond, to shape-shift. We players started a vocal improvisation and the boys had taken a liking to the sound I was making. So they gathered around me and they picked up on my bass beat and I began to conduct them. I led them around the room and they were thrilled to feel validated and supported somehow; it became a kind of joyous, hyperactive but organized processional in a circle around the room that was backed up by the other players and witnessed by the visitors.
TL: That's so fun! As was this. Thanks for making the time to chat Will!

A new $150 billion federal government weapons and maintenance purchasing plan is likely to expose further delays on big-ticket defence projects, amid complaints from the industry about a lack of work.
The publication of the government's Defence Capability Plan (DCP) is imminent and will set out approval timetables and estimated costs of Defence Department projects for the next 10 years.
The plan is eagerly awaited by industry, which has complained about bottlenecks in the cabinet process for approving Defence projects.
The lack of work has led to job losses, several large contractors have said, including BAE Systems Australia, which shed 100 jobs at its Henderson shipyard in Western Australia, and Thales Australia, which laid off 75 workers at its armoured vehicle manufacturing facility in Bendigo.
Small and medium-sized businesses have complained a $20 billion savings drive by Defence has been little more than a "crude cost-cutting exercise'' and a move to buy weapons designed and made overseas is making the problem worse.
Australian Industry Defence Network national president Graham Priestnall said the industry expected the DCP would reveal more delays to the planning of projects to allow the government to save money.
"It wouldn't be good . . . given the current slowdown,'' Mr Priestnall said.
The network represents 800 of about 4000 small and medium-sized defence enterprises.
The $8 billion defence industry employs about 29,000 people and is heavily dependent on government weapons purchasing.
The DCP is important to defence contractors because it gives them an indication of how much the government is likely to spend in the future, which allows them to plan the development of new equipment and factories, and the hiring of staff.
The government weapons purchaser, the Defence Materiel Organisation, has some 300 projects under management at any one time and spends about $11 billion a year on new equipment and equipment maintenance.
The most recent DCP was published in July last year. Major changes expected this time include delays in the delivery of the F-35 joint strike fighter for the Royal Australian Air Force and the purchase of a new anti-submarine helicopter for the Royal Australian Navy.
The document is expected to spell out for the first time a timetable for the centrepiece of the 2009 Defence White Paper policy statement – the plan to buy 12 submarines – but not give a realistic cost estimate.
The Australian Strategic Policy Institute, a defence think tank, has estimated the submarines could cost from $9 billion for a version already in production in Europe to $36 billion for one designed and built in Australia.
The government's most recent DCP was criticised for providing less planning and investment certainty for industry after its time frame was reduced from the traditional 10 to four years, and gave less information on project costs.
Former Defence minister John Faulkner and former Defence Materiel minister Greg Combet insisted the plan be restored to cover 10 years.
One industry source yesterday said, "Everything is frozen . . . the government is just not spending on defence.
"The DCP is little more than a piece of rhetoric Defence trots out which attempts to predict what might happen and no one in industry is going to rely on it to make serious investment decisions."
In unreported comments to a group of Defence Department and military leaders on November 25, Defence Minister
Mr Smith had previously dismissed industry complaints as "gratuitous advice''.
"Bear in mind the government is committed to returning the budget to surplus [by 2012-13] through fiscal responsibility measures, such as holding real growth in government spending to 2 per cent a year,'' Mr Smith told Defence leaders.
"With the commitment to 3 per cent real growth for Defence sitting above the government's expenditure cap and additional supplementation for operations, Defence places significant pressure on the government's fiscal strategy."
Mr Smith described Defence procurement as a "major problem'' and said Defence dollars had to be "spent more wisely" and on "priority items''.
Defence Materiel Minister
He has defended the amount of work on offer to the defence industry ahead of the release of the DCP.
Mr Clare has said spending on defence equipment in Australia will grow from about $5.5 billion a year currently to $7.5 billion a year by 2020.

The decoration in the hotel make us feel like in a small farm and very relax. The owner of the hotel is a really nice guy. He gave us all the inforamtion we needed the day we arrived. And when I was serious sick, he drive us to the hosipital and found the doctor. And he even stayed there to help translate between doctor and us. The room is a bit too humid for us. Maybe it is due to local climate which we do not sure.
The staff at the front desk is very friendly and helpfull. The breakfast is excellent. I liked everything.
The buildings/bungalows lie amid a beautiful tropical garden. The employees were very friendly and helpful with tour bookings. The pool area is small and just fine to cool down and for children to enjoy. The breakfast area is an open covered terrace area from which you can enjoy the garden view. The breakfast choice is simple but wide. The pousada including the rooms are nicely decorated with the typical brazilian handicrafts. The rooms are spacious with a small bathroom. Everything is very well maintained and clean. The pousada lies about 600 meters away from the center of Paraty. The walk to the center is along a small river along on a newly laid out parklike pedestrian way that is elumianted during the night. For us it was a perfect stay
Everyone was very friendly and willing to help us out with ideas for our days. Our room (205) had a bit of a urine smell. We weren't in the room for very long so did not complain or ask to be moved.
Nice place.
The room was big and comfortable, and the hammock on the terrace was really nice! The breakfast could be improved, it was ok but not very rich
Good breakfast, the hotel is real quiet.
Location is good and the hotel has charm and character. The pool and courtyard are lovely. Rooms are a little small and the bathroom is kind of intregal with the bedroom. Bed comfort was just about ok.
great location, nice rooms! would come back again !
The location was excellent and the staff were very helpful. The rooms were quite basic, but adequate for a short stay.

(4/24/2006) With seven serious accidents resulting in seven fatalities occurring since January on Ella Grasso Boulevard (CT-10), Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. tonight announced a series of immediate measures to improve safety.
�To have seven accidents and seven fatalities since January, including two that took the lives of unborn babies, is unprecedented,� DeStefano said. �Police have tried a variety of speed enforcement measures, but it is clear that we need to do more. It is incumbent on the City and the State to exhaust all avenues for improving the roadway, which is a state highway.�
By comparison, in the same time span a year ago, there were no fatalities on the entire length of the Boulevard.
The Mayor said he is pleased that the state will send traffic specialists and state police to New Haven Monday to walk the site and to help develop more long-term solutions.
New Haven police and the Department of Traffic & Parking are taking the following immediate steps.
Tonight and Sunday night, the New Haven police department will set up laser enforcement from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. to handle excessive speed. They will then intensify enforcement with police sobriety and seat belt check points from midnight to 3 a.m. Having squad cars with flashing lights and police presence on the scene will force motorists to slow down. Police have also been doing ongoing enforcement in the area, including the use of speed trailers and DUI stops. From 2005 to date, the department has already issued more than 1,100 motor vehicle infractions in different areas of the Boulevard.
The City�s Traffic and Parking Department Saturday began the process of installing a new signal head at two intersections: Boulevard where it intersects with Legion and with North Frontage. The signaling will be designed to make it easier for motorists to queue up and turn onto Legion Avenue.
Traffic camera enforcement legislation that has twice failed to pass the General Assembly would make a difference. The City will push to get the technology installed along Ella Grasso Boulevard, to catch red light violators and to supplement police enforcement efforts. The red light technology photographs motorists who are operating unsafely and gives the City the ability to levy sanctions.
The proposed legislation has had the support of many chiefs of police, mayors, elected leaders and motor vehicle crash victims. It also is supported by the National Campaign to Stop Red Light Running. �This kind of automated traffic enforcement technology provides irrefutable evidence that can be used in court to prosecute violators,� the Mayor said. This year, the effort died in the judiciary committee of the General Assembly.
A team has been meeting daily at City Hall to pore over the accident data and to review traffic signals and other controls along Ella Grasso Boulevard, especially where it intersects with Legion Avenue. Those meetings have included Chief Administrative Officer John Buturla, Chief of Police Francisco Ortiz, Chief of Staff Karen Dubois- Walton, Director of Traffic and Parking Paul Wessel and Bruce Fischer from his office, and Police Captain Stephen Verrelli.
The City will explore long-term solutions with the state, including:
Reconstruction of Ella Grasso Boulevard to calm the traffic, especially between Orange and Frontage roads. This could include changing the width of the roadway; introducing a permanent or temporary median to slow traffic; increased street lighting, better signage; possible pedestrian improvements
�This is one of the busiest routes in all of the City and it needs to be safe,� DeStefano said. �Besides a steady stream of motorists, we have schools in that area, including Barnard School, which will reopen in the fall after an extensive renovation. We are planning a substantial redevelopment of the Route 34 corridor, which will bring housing, new businesses and industry to the area. We need the state�s help in upgrading this area in a way that makes it safe for everyone immediately and into the foreseeable future.�

How can I redirect the content folder?
In just about two weeks I've had over 600 404 errors because the mailchimp widget on my site keeps trying to direct people to http://www.actualitymedia.org/wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-widget/js/mailchimp-widget-min.js
The immediate problem is obvious – there is no wp-content folder on my site because the site was being hacked to many times, so when I rebuilt it with greater security I renamed the content folder. However, I cannot find any way to edit the widget to rename the content folder it should be directing to. Is such an edit possible on my end, or did I rule the widget unusable when I renamed my content folder?
