It’s hard to imagine a better cause than giving to support educational opportunities for all. More than 16,000 full- and part-time students come to Kingsborough each year—many the first in their families to attend college, many new to our country, and many new to our way of life. Often, they are financially unprepared for the challenge of seeking an education. With more than 70 percent of these students receiving financial aid, 60 percent of our students coming from homes with annual incomes of less than $20K, the Kingsborough Community College Foundation is a vital lifeline for many of them, and is often the resource through which your generosity is shared to meet a need. Every gift made to the KCC Foundation celebrates these Yet, they seek their piece of the American dream as they special-and for some-very personal connections. train for jobs, earn transfer credits, or enhance professional skills.

This year and every year, we thank you for all you do to support Kingsborough’s vital educational mission and our amazing With a committed faculty and staff to serve our 16,000-plus students.

We all work collectively to make sure We look forward to strengthing our partnerships with you and that our students’ time here at Kingsborough results in a path to the continued sharing of news and successes of our students. toward continued education or directly to the workforce. The complexity of it all is sometimes difficult to fully comprehend. What you, as our friends and supporters understand, however, is the significance of how doing something extraordinary for others can result in far greater Farley Herzek rewards and accomplishments for those on the receiving end. President You are the ones who touch their hearts and will inspire them to forge ahead in spite of the challenges because they know that Kingsborough and its team of supporters will not let them down.

  • NAMED VENUSIAN CRATERS; Joel F
    NAMED VENUSIAN CRATERS; Joel F. Russell and Gerald G. Schaber, U.S. Geological Survey, 2255 N. Gemini Dr. Flagstaff, AZ 86001 Schaber et al. [I] compiled a database of 841 craters on Venus, based on Magellan coverage of 89% of the planet's surface. That database, derived from coverage of approximately 98% of Venus' surface, has been expanded to 912 craters, ranging in diameter from 1.5 to 280 krn [2]. About 150 of the larger craters were previously identified by Pioneer Venus and Soviet Venera projects and subsequently forrnally named by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). A few of the features identified and nanled as impact craters on Pioneer and Venera images have not been recognized on Magellan images, and therefore the IAU is being requested to drop their names. For example, the feature known as Cleopatra is officially named as a patera, although it is now generally accepted that Cleopatra is a crater [I]. Also, the feature Eve, which has been used to define the prime meridian for Venus, was erroneously identified as an impact feature, but its true morphology has not been determined from Magellan images. The Magellan project has requested the IAU to name hundreds of craters identified by Magellan. At its triennial General Assembly in Buenos Aires in 1991, the IAU [3] gave full approval to names for 102 craters (table 1) in addition to those previously named. At its 1992 meeting, the IAU's Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature, which screens all planetary names prior to formal consideration by the General Assembly, gave provisional approval to names for an additional 239 Venusian craters.

  • Impact Crater Related Surficial Deposits on Venus: Multipolarization Radar Observations with Arecibo Lynn M
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 109, E06009, doi:10.1029/2003JE002227, 2004 Impact crater related surficial deposits on Venus: Multipolarization radar observations with Arecibo Lynn M. Carter Department of Astronomy, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA Donald B. Campbell Department of Astronomy and the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA Bruce A. Campbell Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C., USA Received 19 December 2003; revised 12 April 2004; accepted 28 April 2004; published 22 June 2004. [1] The distribution of surficial deposits in the vicinity of impact craters on Venus was studied using measurements of the polarization properties of the reflected radar wave. Subsurface scattering of an incident circularly polarized radar signal results in a linearly polarized component in the radar echo due to the differing transmission coefficients at a smooth (at wavelength scales) atmosphere-surface boundary for the horizontal (H) and vertical (V) linearly polarized components of the incident wave. Arecibo 12.6 cm wavelength radar observations in 1999 and 2001 provided images of the surface of Venus in the full Stokes polarization parameters of the reflected echo, from which images in the degree of linear polarization were derived. These images show that substantial areas of Sedna, Guinevere, and Lavinia Planitias return a radar echo with a significant degree of linear polarization, indicating that mantling deposits may be relatively widespread on the plains of Venus. The areas showing linear polarization enhancements are strongly correlated with topographic features, primarily impact craters, dome fields, and windblown deposits, including dune fields.
