As a result, we have had a greater impact on the Academy experience SUPPORT for our cadets, supporting their academic, athletic and leadership needs — every step of the way — throughout the entire Academy. TO CGA In the following pages, you will read the stories of five cadets whose lives have IN 2016 been touched by your generosity. Their stories are reflective of the impact of your support on all aspects of cadet life. From providing access to the best coaches, equipment and off-campus competitions that unite our cadets as teams and leaders, to investments in educational programs that build confidence and hone the necessary skills of command — it’s clear in the stories and smiles within, that your Alumni Association continues to define the Long Blue Line. This year, we chose to convey our financial success through the voices of these young men and women, but from the Alumni Association board and staff, let me be the voice of gratitude. Because of the generosity of donors to the Alumni Association, in 2016 we surpassed all previous support to the Academy — providing more than $3.5 million in fulfillment of our mission and goals. Nearly 5,000 donors helped us reach this total, 38% of which were alumni donors. Additionally, 35% of the donations received were given in support to the CGA Today! Fund, our area of greatest need.

Abstract Impact cratering is an abrupt, spectacular process that occurs on any world with a solid surface. On Earth, these craters are easily eroded or destroyed through endogenic processes. The Moon and Mercury, however, lack a significant atmosphere, meaning craters on these worlds remain intact longer, geologically. In this thesis, remote-sensing techniques were used to investigate impact melt emplacement about Mercury’s fresh, complex craters. For complex lunar craters, impact melt is preferentially ejected from the lowest rim elevation, implying topographic control. On Venus, impact melt is preferentially ejected downrange from the impact site, implying impactor-direction control. Mercury, despite its heavily-cratered surface, trends more like Venus than like the Moon.

The festival consists of a symposium providing the historical and artistic context in which these composers lived as well as what to listen for in this music; and four concerts: one chamber, one devoted to music of Charles Mingus, one featuring a mixture of electronic and concert music, and one including large ensembles. The festival features the faculty members and major student ensembles of the Fred Fox School of Music and guest artists and scholars. Despite his output of only slightly more than a dozen compositions, Edgard Varèse is regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century. His concept of “organized sound” led to experiments in form and texture. He was constantly on the lookout for new sound sources, and was one of the first to extensively explore percussion, electronics, and taped sounds. He was, as Henry Miller called him, “The stratospheric Colossus of Sound.” Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Aaron Jay Kernis draws artistic inspiration from a vast and often surprising palette of sources, among them the limitless color spectrum and immense emotional tangle of the orchestra, cantorial music in its beauty and dark intensity, the roiling drama of world events, and the energy and drive of jazz and popular music.

Some of the material contained in the guide is intended as background material for teachers. Five units are presented: The Earth, The Oceans, The Space Environment, The Atmosphere, and The Exploration of Space. The course is organized so that students proceed from the familiar, everyday world to the atmosphere and the space environment. Teaching geology in the fall takes advantage of weather conditions which permit field study. The purpose of the Earth and Space Science course is to encourage student behaviors which will be indicative of a broad understanding of man1s physical environment of earth and space as well as an awareness of the consequences which could result from changes which man may effect.(PEB) BEST COPY AVAILABLE U S DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.
