Status Report
From: Canadian Space Agency
Posted: Monday, May 6, 2002
Dear Colleagues,
As complements to the NASA Mars Exploration Program, Scout missions offer the unique chance to propose creative and innovative scientific missions to Mars. The first Scout mission is expected to be launched in 2007 with a planned NASA funding cap of $325M [U.S. F.Y.03]. Under the NASA rules, international participation on the bidding teams is allowed, up to a maximum contribution of an additional 1/3 the total mission cap. Within this envelope, teams are given a minimum of constraints in order to maximize the ingenuity of the proposals. Science goals addressed by Scout missions are those defined in the Mars Exploration Payload Analysis Group (MEPAG) document (http://spacescience.nasa.gov/an/marsscoutsworkshop/mepag.pdf), as well as any rapid response to recent scientific discovery. Any viable platform may be proposed, including, but not limited to, orbiters, landers, rovers, balloons, gliders and airplanes. For more information on the 2007 Scout Mission, including all documents related to the AO, please refer to the following link: http://research.hq.nasa.gov/code_s/nra/current/AO-02-OSS-02/index.html
Guidelines for CSA Support
The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) encourages Canadian organizations to become members of proposal teams for this NASA Scout AO. CSA foresees the planned 2007 Scout mission as an opportunity for Canadian organizations to become involved with international partners on an exciting and highly visible mission.
If Canadians are members of proposing teams at the time of submission of the proposal, and if proposals that include Canadians are selected by NASA for funding through the Phase A process, it is CSA's intention to support Canadians that are part of these selected proposals for these Phase A studies, providing they meet CSA requirements as described in this letter.
In order to be eligible for this support, Canadians will need to follow the published CSA Space Science AO policy, specifically the section "Responses to Foreign AOs", as published on the CSA website (http://www.space.gc.ca/science/space_science/announce_opp/policy/default.asp).
Additional important points:
1. Canadian participation must be science-driven. A direct benefit to the Canadian scientific community must be demonstrated in order to obtain CSA support. We require both industrial and scientific participation in each proposal involving Canadians.
2. The return to Canada (both scientific and technical) must be commensurate with the investment being proposed for Canada to contribute to the final mission.
3. A Notice of Intent to Propose (NOI) must be submitted to CSA (following the same NOI deadline set by NASA). If a Notice of Intent to propose is being submitted to NASA, a copy of this NOI is sufficient.
4. The Notice of Intent to Propose must be accompanied by (or under separate cover) a document listing each Canadian organization participating in the proposal, a contact name and contact info for each organization, their signature, and a maximum one-page summary of the proposed roles and responsibilities for each Canadian organization. A rough order of magnitude estimate of the proposed Canadian contribution must be made and stated in this additional document to CSA.
5. CSA must receive a copy of the proposal submitted to NASA (following the same deadline set by NASA).
6. With the copy of the proposal (or under separate cover), CSA must receive an additional appendix containing:
� A clear description of the Canadian contributions to the work to be carried out during the Phase A studies.
� An estimate of the potential Canadian contribution to the mission if it is selected for flight (costs in August 2002 Canadian dollars).
� A statement of scientific and industrial benefits to Canada and to Canadians.
� A description of the Canadian science team and a description of the Canadian industrial team, with signatures from each participating Canadian organization.
� A letter of endorsement from the Principal Investigator of the Scout proposal supporting the Canadian involvement in the mission.
7. Letters of endorsement will be generated by CSA at the request of a representative of the Canadian team participating in each proposal if all of the above requirements (1-6) have been met.
8. CSA intends to award contracts to Canadians of up to CDN$150k (including overhead) per NASA-selected proposal for the Phase A studies if all of the above requirements have been met.
Once the Phase A studies are complete, if the selected mission for flight contains a Canadian component, CSA will consider funding that contribution.
Please complete a Space Exploration Database form for each Canadian principal participant. Forms may be accessed at www.space.gc.ca/se-form. Completion of this form is a requirement of any submission to Space Exploration effective February 2002. This can be done electronically through the website.

Distribution of this letter
This letter is being released to the Space Exploration community only in electronic form. It would thus be appreciated if it could be widely distributed by all recipients to colleagues and other potentially interested parties. A copy of this AO will also be available on the CSA web site.
Intellectual Property
Proposals will be considered commercially sensitive if requested so by the proposers. Proposals must clearly identify any proprietary information that should not be released other than to internal and external reviewers. Any background intellectual property must be declared at the time of the proposal, but this will not be taken into account in the evaluation process.
Resultant Contract
Due to the Research and Development nature of the proposed work, any resultant contract which may result from this competition will be subject to the most recent General Conditions Research and Development DSS 9624, as well as the Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity, a copy of which can be found electronically at http://www.pwgsc.gc.ca/sacc. Submission of a proposal acknowledges the Bidder's agreement with the application of the DSS 9624 General Conditions to the contract work. Any resultant contract will be negotiated and issued through Public Works and Government Services Canada(PWGSC).
Any contract resulting from this competition will contain a clause pertaining to communications/public affairs defining contractor responsibilities and authorities. The CSA retains the right to make primary contract announcements. Any subsequent contract-related announcements will be undertaken in cooperation with and subject to the approval of the CSA.

Being accused of operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol can be a stressful and harrowing process. Without the necessary legal experience, individuals who stand accused of drunk driving may be uncertain how best to handle the situation and where to turn for guidance on what comes next. A 21-year-old man could be in search of advice after reports of a single-vehicle accident in Wisconsin led to his arrest on suspicion of drunk driving.
1 faces drunk driving charges after driving into flooded area
While there are a variety of scenarios in which authorities may deem it necessary to close down a road, sometimes those who live on the road may still need access to their homes. However, choosing to ignore road signs could increase suspicions of wrongful behavior, especially if the action places others in danger. A 36-year-old man in Wisconsin is now facing drunk driving charges after allegedly ignoring road-closed signs and driving his vehicle into a flooded area.
How does a DUI affect my job search?
You may have had many things on your mind the last time you were out with your friends. Perhaps you were concerned about impressing an attractive person at the bar. Maybe you were celebrating a special occasion or nursing a broken heart. The furthest thing from your mind was work because, after all, that's what good times are for.
Wisconsin man arrested on suspicion of drunk driving
When authorities receive reports of a possibly intoxicated driver in the area, they are obligated to further investigate the matter. Should the vehicle in question be unoccupied, they may have the task of attempting to locate and identify its driver. A 45-year-old man in Wisconsin is now facing his seventh offense for drunk driving after allegedly crashing his car and walking away from the scene.
Traffic stop for speeding leaves 1 accused of drunk driving
While having to install and use an ignition interlock device can be a daunting experience, for many, it is an unfortunate reality. The penalties for refusing to comply with similar obligations can be severe and may only add to the severity of a successive conviction for drunk driving. A 58-year-old man was recently taken into custody and accused of a seventh drunk driving offense after police say he was pulled over for speeding in Wisconsin.

By Nick Gass
May 20, 2016
Former Mexican President Vicente Fox escalated his rhetoric against Donald Trump on Friday, blasting the presumptive Republican nominee for his rush to call the crash of EgyptAir Flight 804 an act of terrorism and accusing him of "creating a phantom" enemy in order to boast about protecting the United States from it.
"[The] first message should be of solidarity to the people to the families of the people that was in that plane. That's where you start, always," Fox told CNN's "New Day." "You don't go to war with everybody. You don't go and hate everybody. You don't see everybody as an enemy. We're not enemies of this nation. The whole world is working together to build our common home for all of us. This is what compassion and leaders work about."
While conceding that he understands there is a "real fear" in the U.S. after 9/11, Fox said, "Not everyone is an enemy" of the country to Mexico's north.
"So what he is, is creating a phantom, and now he says, 'I'm going to protect you from that phantom,'" Fox said. "There is problems in the world. There is violence in some parts of the world. There is limited in a small violence in Mexico."
"And this guy seems to be looking for enemies under the stone everywhere looking for and building this phantom and telling U.S. citizens, 'Watch out, I need to build walls. I need to protect you.' Who he is to protect this great nation?" Fox said. "I'm part of this nation. Half of this person ... has American blood." (Fox's paternal grandfather was born to German Catholic immigrants in Cincinnati.)
As he has done in the past, Fox reiterated his displeasure with Trump's continued call to build a wall on the U.S.' border with Mexico at the Mexican government's expense. Fox in February said, "I'm not going to pay for that f---ing wall," though he later walked back his strong language.
CNN's Chris Cuomo noted that Trump took Fox's walk-back as a sign that he was turning around and asked the former Mexican president whether that interpretation was correct.
"It was the reaction to being offended. Being offended should take you to forgiveness. And asking for forgiveness. But in that case, I went to say my truth," Fox said. "Now, he invited me for lunch. He says, he sent me a message. Come, I invite you for lunch in New York. Yes, I would come, if first you apologize to Mexico, to Mexicans, to Mexican people. And No. 2, you apologize to U.S. workers, because you're not telling them the truth."
Cuomo said that it sounded as though he did not want to accept Trump's invitation.
"No, well I could have it at San Cristóbal in my place," Fox said. "Yes. Because he controls media here. You know Fox News is 24 hours giving him the push. In Mexico, we used to say that Televisa, the No. 1 station, makes presidents. In this case, Fox News is trying to make a president. That's not the way to go."
Fox said that in a democracy, there should be "very happy campaigns. There should be music. There should be reasonable messages."
"Democracy is a feast, and here, it seems to be war. A call for war. Democracy is not that. Freedom is not that. The leadership of this nation is at risk in front of the whole world. I work with all the former presidents, former prime ministers, and we're all astonished," Fox said. "We say it is a nightmare. This cannot be the voice of that great nation. The nation that has led the world. The nation that works intensely for peace, and now he is blaming the government, past government, the former government that they did not work for peace enough. Yeah, we have problems. We have ISIS, and this, but we must unite together to get rid of them. This is not the way to go."

Post-Bac Program
The History Post-Baccalaureate (Post-Bac) program leads to licensure in Social Studies; it is designed for students who already hold a BA. The program begins in May of one year and ends in May the following year.
Before applying to the program, all History Post-Bac applicants must meet with or otherwise contact the History Post-Bac advisor, Fritz Fischer. After speaking with the History Post-Bac advisor, applicants must apply to the Graduate School, marking on the application that they are applying to the History Post-Bac program. Once the applicant has applied to the Graduate School, the application is processed by History and by the Education program. Applicants should understand that they will be taking mostly education courses in the Post-Bac. Questions about the education portion of the Post-Bac can be sent to Jonathan Shaw.
Program Requirements
There are a number of prerequisites for this program. In order to be admitted the state of Colorado mandates that students have taken:
- at least 18 credits in History
- at least 18 credits of social science support classes, which must include the following:
- ANT 110: Introduction to Cultural Anthropology
- ECON 203: Macroeconomics
- GEOG 100: World Geography
- PSCI 100: American National Government
- 6 additional upper-level credits (2 classes, 200-level or higher) in ECON, GEOG, or PSCI.
Applicants cannot be admitted to the program until they have completed the above prerequisites with at least a B- in all of them. Those interested can certainly apply with one or two classes left to take and can be admitted provisionally, but students who have not completed a majority of the above requirements cannot be admitted. Please contact Jonathan Shaw and/or Professor Fischer for a transcript evaluation if you are unsure if you meet the requirements for admission.
Applicants need to understand that this is a demanding program. In the fall semester, it will not be possible to work full time, and in the spring students will be teaching full-time in the classroom, so no outside employment will be possible. In addition, if at any point in the program a course is failed or if the GPA drops below a 3.0, History has the right to drop students from the entire program. It is not possible to get the MA in History and do the Post-Bac simultaneously, but we can coordinate such a program where students switch off coursework between programs. It will take at least three years with the MA in History. Contact Professor Fischer for more details.

I really like this image; it appears the hiker is blazing his own trail as there is no defined path amongst the tumbled rocks. This is from Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.
I enjoy participating in the weekly challenge hosted by Where's My Backpack; this week's travel theme is "Path"

Williams' Bar & RestaurantTewinBury Farm Hotel B1000 Hertford Road, Welwyn, East of England, AL6 0JB Britisch, Nachmittagstee
Combining original features with contemporary décor, The Cowshed at Tewin Bury Farm Hotel opened its doors in November 2018 so is the newest venue onsite. The name derives from its original purpose on the farm as it housed the owner's herd of dairy cows from 1931 until 1980.
Traditional afternoon tea is served daily from 12.30pm - 5pm. Offering a bright and spacious setting, guests can savour a sumptuous selection of delectable finger sandwiches, savouries, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, mini cakes and biscuits, in addition to a range of award-winning teas. Tewin Bury Farm Hotel were proud to receive an Award of Excellence at the 2019 Afternoon Tea Awards.
The Cowshed comes to life on Friday and Saturday evenings as it transforms into the Cowshed Steakhouse, with sirloin, fillet, ribeye & Chateaubriand featuring on the menu.
A well-informed cocktail and wine list is available, and beverages served at William's Bar & Restaurant near Welwyn Garden City are Fair-Trade accredited. The restaurant also plays host to live music twice a month. Welwyn North Train Station is a 6-minute drive away.

Lovely Sunday lunch menu, Great service, great setting. I loved the live music, a nice touch as was not intrusive and added to the atmosphere.

Really good shepherds pie and fish dish excellent

We enjoyed our Sunday lunch visit. Although it was a while before being asked what drinks we would like, but maybe that was a good thing, allowing us time to settle into the environment.. Staff were pleasant and the food was excellent. The Sunday roast menus offered a limited choice of selection but I quite liked this fact. Made me focus and saved me labouring over making a choice. The general atmosphere was quite noisy as there seemed to be a couple of large groups dining, but that is not unusual these days. Seems to be considered as 'lively atmosphere'! Live music, which did enhance the atmosphere was provided by an excellent musician / vocalist and not too intrusive. Overall our lunch was a good dining experience. Will certainly return and try an evening meal. I am sure the atmosphere for evening dining would be further enhanced with creative lighting. Will find out on a future visit.

Disappointing - we were the only people in there and our order came out wrong . It was rectified and there was an apology but our confidence is lost. Brunch menu was limited
19. Januar 2020
It was a pleasant experience - the food was of a good quality, the main course was served hot and timely. Would have liked a better selection of desserts, I am a sucker for a fruit crumble in the winter months. My only disappointment was that having paid the bill, I asked the waiter to order a taxi for us. This he did and advised it would be about 20 minutes, so we decided to go and have another drink in the bar. Two large glasses of wine had just been served when we were notified by the waiter that the taxi had arrived, I would say within 5 minutes of having been ordered. The waiter did not take care of the drinks or the taxi, and we ended up paying almost double for the return journey, because of the waiting time for us to consume our drinks - which we did as quickly as we could. It's the small things that make a difference and left us feeling disappointed.
9. Januar 2020
Warmly welcomed and attended to. Slight delay before drinks arrived and quite a wait for the starters. However, staff were pleasant and attentive and food delicious.
2. Januar 2020
The food was beautifully presented and delicious, portions are a light on the lunch menu, but this is often the case for a fixed price menu and may be different for a la carte. I felt it was very good value for money. The serving staff were extremely professional and courteous, they give you plenty of time to enjoy your meal and do not rush you at all. The menu had a number of spelling mistakes and some of the dietary information was amiss, but our server was patient and professional and checked everything with the chef so this was a minor issue which gave us amusement. The general ambience and decor is lovely, but I did find the table a little bit cramped as the table legs are very chunky. Some people were taking afternoon tea at the next table which looked fabulous. Will probably head back for that another time!
22. November 2019
this was a lunch booking - totally disappointed. music too loud (lunchtime). service slow/abrupt not welcoming. menu too modern. previously having been to the cowshed twice for afternoon tea and on both instances the food was wonderful as were the staff and would 100% recommend that.
12. November 2019
Great lunchtime deal of 3 courses for £20 including a small glass of wine The corn fed chicken was superb and tender The service and the ambience were great too, a fab relaxing lunch for my friends and me
27. Oktober 2019
We booked online on the Sunday morning for lunch the same day, receiving an email back to confirm the reservation. However when we arrived at the restaurant they had no note of our booking, luckily they were able to find us a table. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch with a pleasant musical accompaniment. If the restaurant had been full and they were unable to accommodate us, we would not have been very happy as we had travelled a long way.

We love anything a bit different and striking and so immediately snapped up this great vintage basket from the Ukraine. We have decided to leave this one in its raw state, but to add a bit of Blue Ticking magic we have painted the handles in Farrow and Balls Vardo.
It's a great size so very handy for storing or carrying lots of different things.

Many of our items are large and so delivery is separate from the price.
