Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, 1950.
Photographer Elliott Erwitt on His Lifetime Achievements
Elliott Erwitt has a new iPad app, a new book, a new award, and a very old cuckoo clock. The legendary photographer shares his thoughts on all of these things—plus what he considers to be his greatest and most memorable achievements—in a discussion with VF.com's Erica Singleton.
Elliott Erwitt's "Personal Best," an exhibition opening this month at the International Center of Photography in New York, is a survey of the witty, the moving, and the delightful—everything that Mr. Erwitt is himself. I.C.P. recognized him with an Infinity Award for Lifetime Achievement, which celebrates his long career of magnificent picture-making. At 82, he's busier than ever. With a slew of books, exhibitions, and films under his belt, he's currently at work on three additional books and embarking on a whiskey photo project (lucky guy). He even has an iPad app. In conversation with VF.com, Erwitt reflects on the pictures he took, the ones that got away, and the personal bests yet to come.
Erica Singleton: What is it about this photo [above right, and included in "Personal Best"] that you really like, that made it stand out to you?
Elliott Erwitt: I like this photo because it could be taken in many ways, and you can read into it whatever you'd like. I think it's a funny picture. I think it's a tragic picture. I think it's an ambiguous picture—I think it's the sort of picture that might engage somebody to put his or her own interpretation on it. And consequently I like the picture because, apart from that, it's nicely composed. What else can I say?
Can you tell me what was going on that day?
I can't, because it was taken a very long time ago [in 1950].
What was going on in your own life then?
I was working for Roy Stryker on a project in Pittsburgh that had to do with the rebuilding of the point where the two rivers meet along the Monongahela and the Ohio. There was a total sort of tearing down of buildings at that point and rebuilding. I was there documenting that among other photographers. I wasn't the only one.
When do you feel like your best work comes out?
I'm an amateur photographer, apart from being a professional one, and I think maybe my amateur pictures are the better ones.
Can you think of a shot in your life that got away?
All my best pictures were missed either because I didn't have a camera or because the chemicals were wrong. Those are really my best pictures. [Laughs.]
Can you talk about your experience being president at Magnum and how you were mentored by [Robert] Capa? I'm sure you've mentored a lot of young photographers—what do you look for in their work?
What I like in any—young, old, middle-aged, doesn't matter—photographers is a sense that they are interested in the human comedy, you might say, [and] that the pictures are good technically—by that I mean, good composition, good content. Unfortunately, now taking pictures has become so easy that everyone on Earth who has a telephone is a photographer. Consequently the work is generally a bit shoddy, because it's so easy.… Somehow Photoshop and the ease with which one can produce an image has degraded the quality of photography in general. Still, there are very good photographers among the masses.
What's your favorite camera to shoot with?
I don't really have a favorite camera. I use a Leica and Canon a lot. It depends, especially professionally, on the requirements. But my carry-around camera is a Leica.
What is the last photo you saw that had an emotional impact, or made you laugh?
I just finished working on a book called Sequentially Yours, which will come out in the fall. It has a number of amusing pictures that have never been used. Going through the layout of the book, sometimes I find things that amuse me, and I hope will amuse a wider audience than myself. Sequentially Yours is my funniest book—at least, I hope so. From my point of view it is.
What's different about this exhibition from your past shows?
It's a compendium of a lot of my—as the title suggests—better pictures. It's kind of a retrospective, you might say. It's a similar exhibition [to one] in Paris at the Maison Européenne, which was very successful—it broke all records of attendance. And we hope that it will be popular here.
Was it difficult going through your archive to choose your personal best?
No. I've been doing that quite a bit, because I've put together a number of books in the last few years—in fact, I come out with, it seems, a book a year now. Now they're doing an app—or it has been done—for my big book.
So you've done more than 40 books now.
For the exhibit, we counted how many books might be in the showcase there, and we came up with 45. There may be more, I don't know. But I would say my important books or major books, from my point of view, are the ones from the last 10 years.
Do you enjoy putting the books together?
Well, I try to justify my existence by doing [them]. Making books is a very specific kind of activity. It's not really a collection of your best pictures—although it is—but it's also a way of presenting your work so that it's not repetitive, so that it flows, and so that it makes sense in a book. Working for a book is different than working for an exhibition or working for a magazine story, or for an essay.
What would you say is your personal-best film?
I made a film about majorettes in Texas, called Beauty Knows No Pain, and I think that's probably my best effort.
Do you prefer shooting still or motion?
Well, I'm a photographer. I mean, I did, in the 80s, digress somewhat—I was working for Home Box Office at the time. I made 18 films for them, but that was a digression. When the hierarchy at HBO changed, I found it unpleasant to work for the new people, so I went back to my day job.
Can you describe what it's like to receive the Infinity Award for Lifetime Achievement?
It's very pleasant, very nice—it's a slight justification for one's checkered life, I suppose. Obviously it's very nice to be appreciated in some way. And I must say that it has a lot to do with the length of time that I've been a photographer. Perhaps they've run out, I don't know. But, anyway, it's nice to be in good company.
What's next?
My next book is going to be a color book. That's for next year. This year I also have a Christmas book for the Metropolitan Museum, on the Christmas tree. It's my third book on the subject. I'm about to go to Scotland to do a book about whiskey.
That sounds like a lot of fun.
The Scots are strangely wonderful characters, so I'm looking forward to that. It's going to be two trips. The first one for two or three weeks in June, and the next trip in August.
I'm sure you'll be able to taste some great whiskeys.
Yes, I'll be able to taste whiskey. I'll be with people that I like—very pleasant, interesting people. And of course Scotland is a magnificent country. [A clock chimes.]
[That's my] cuckoo clock. It doesn't tell time. It only cuckoos.

This past month Andrew Lawler published an essay on the Dead Sea Scrolls in the Smithsonian magazine ("Who Wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls?" [January 2010]: 40–47). The media likes controversy, and Lawler highlights it in this interesting essay.
Since the first discoveries in 1947, the Dead Sea Scrolls have captured the imagination of the public, including Latter-day Saints. The importance of these textual discoveries on the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea can hardly be overestimated. They open an important window onto the past, particularly for the period when the paucity of sources made it frustrating for scholars attempting to reconstruct the Jewish world during the intertestamental period. They also illuminate the world of John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth, although it is doubtful that either of them spent time at the site where the scrolls were copied.
In the end, some 800 manuscripts were found in eleven caves near the northwest shore of the Dead Sea. Among them were the oldest copies of the Old Testament, except for the book of Esther. Additionally, numerous unknown texts were discovered at the site, increasing our appreciation for the complex and interesting world of Second Temple Judaism. Most of the manuscripts are written with square Hebrew characters (Aramaic or Assyrian script), but a few manuscripts exhibit what scholars call the Paleo-Hebrew script. The dating of the manuscript range from as early as 300 BC until just before the Romans destroyed the site in AD 68.
From the very beginning, many scholars believed those who collected, copied, and hid the massive library were the Essenes, a first-century Jewish sect known only, until the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, by what other people had written about them. Scholars never unanimously accepted the identification, although a majority has done so reasoning that it as the best explanation for the documents and the site.
In the latest installment of the debate, some consensus has been reached. There is almost universal agreement that many of the scrolls found at the Dead Sea were not produced at the Dead Sea site. One of the current theories, highlighted in Lawler's article, is that Jews fleeing the advancing Roman army during the Jewish War gathered at Qumran, a fort, and brought with them the writings they felt were sacred and important. This proposal suggest that "the scrolls reflect not just the views of a single dissident group [Essenes] . . . but a wider tapestry of Jewish thought" (p. 44).
If anyone ever wanted to get inside the world of academia to see how scholars deal with controversial topics, this essay will surprise and depress you as it highlights the intrigues of one such debate. In the end, the debate concerning who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls will continue to attract attention, but it will most likely never be resolved, leading us to consider the possibilities.

OCEAN CITY — It won't be a bar, a store, or a even a restaurant, but what the Fenwick Wine Cellars will be is one of a kind attraction to tourists and locals of the resort area and will be one of only two true farm wineries in the entire state of Delaware.
Owner Adrian Mobilia is hoping that the arrival of a true farm winery to the area is quickly deemed to be long overdue and embraced as such.
Perhaps since the release of the popular independent film "Sideways", and certainly since the rise of Napa Valley as a destination for wine aficionados in the last two decades, wine drinking has seemingly become an event in itself nowadays and isn't just something white or red poured into a glass to accompany an entrée anymore.
With that in mind, local interest is sure to be sparked or given a bit of a boost with the opening of the Fenwick Wine Cellars, located just a block away from Smitty McGee's and in the Fenwick Shoals shopping plaza next to the Mio Fratello's Italian Steakhouse, in early December as the wine drinking crowd will not only be able to get a taste of some award winning wine, but will be able to see the entire creation of the wine before their very eyes.
Adrian Mobilia and his wife Shannon are on the cusp of opening this new venture (while becoming new parents as well), even though Mobilia has been in the wine business his entire life, as his family owns and operates one of the largest and most reputable farm wineries in Pennsylvania.
"I'm the fourth generation of Mobilia in Mobilia Fruit Farms Inc, located on the shores of Lake Erie," he said. "I grew up and worked on the farm my whole life and my education is in agriculture. After I helped my father start his winery, I worked in agriculture for a juice company that sourced grapes, prunes, apples and cranberries all over the world, but when I got out of it, I really missed it, so I think this is the perfect opportunity to get back into it while bringing something truly unique to this area."
The family winery in Pennsylvania, Arrowhead Wine Cellars is an award winning and acclaimed 250-acre farm winery in northeast Pennsylvania, with a retail farm market and an established juice selling business to boot. Mobilia says that his family's winery sells juice to make wine to 85 wineries across the country.
"I guess we'll be the 86th as my father has inherited a new customer with the opening of our winery," said Mobilia. "We will be growing our own grapes across the street but that process take about four years to be able to use it, so until then, and while our grapes are maturing, we will be buying juice to manufacture our wine from my father, or other local juice retailers."
The agriculture part of the venture is extremely interesting in this case, as the Fenwick Wine Cellars, with the exception of the Nassau Valley Wine Cellar in Lewes, will be a virtual pioneer in creating wine from literally the ground up.
Mobilia hopes that process is intriguing and appealing to potential customers and has partnered with local farmer Stiles Adkins to use some of his acreage to get his vineyards up and running.
"We are going to start basic with an acre, for about two or three different varieties of grapes that we know are fairly salt tolerant and see how they do and cultivate them for three years until we get a mature crop," said Mobilia. "We'll try to reach the benchmarks that I'm familiar with in growing up on a family farm winery that grows 200 acres of grapes at a time and hopefully it will be successful and we can plant more as the years go by."
One of Mobilia's concerns however, is the shallow water table that the area has and said that establishing good roots is vital for the future of the vines and the subsequent wine making.
"You want the vines to set up great and strong roots and if the water table is very close, the vines have the potential is that they could become lazy," he said. "Plants and roots are very similar to human beings in our defense mechanisms in that way. If what you need to survive is very easily accessible, sometimes you get lazy because you can get it so easily."
While at the winery, customers will have access to not only 14 different types of wine, "ranging from whites, reds, blushes, and ports, dry, sweet and all in between", according to Mobilia, but will have the ability to have free samples of a number of wines, which will enable them to find the wine that they truly enjoy, before they purchase the bottle.
"Let's face it, in America, there are many people who don't truly know what they like in a wine, as they are drawn to certain buzz words and they often a left unsatisfied with something they thought they would like," said Mobilia. "Here, they can come in, try any number of things, get an education about not only the wine but also how it is made from planting to purchase and as a result have a truly unique experience."
Fenwick Wine Cellars will also be the home of local artwork, entertainment, special events and as it grows, so will the options.
"We will eventually have 20 different wines that we'll make right here," said Mobilia. "Many people think that a winery is either a liquor store that sells wine or a $10-$20 million dollar estate in California. Obviously, we are going to be neither of those, but I think that people will really like what we are all about and what they find when they come see us."

quit wasting time and get started. dont be a perfectionist about the kite and the bar and whatever. It's not real important exactly how you start kiting trainers, no trainers, lessons before trainers lessons after trainers, which kite to buy, just make sure you stay safe -- this means lighter winds for a beginner a working safety quick release and lessons.

I think it is obvious that Christianity has become mostly benign and secularized for the most part and I don't see Christians subjugating their women and executing gays in the ways that take place in the Islamic world due to the quran and Hadith (the Hadith is the so-called writings of the prophet and his followers in which Islamic Shariah law is based from); but I see too many atheists tending to bash Christianity and giving excuses for Islam. Why is this so when according to the Islamic faith, we atheists are "kafar" should be the first ones killed before the Christians and Jews (especially me, since I am an apostate since I was "born" a Muslim); therefore, why do atheists tend to give excuses for the true evils of the Islamic faith??
Jesus Christ as a symbol (whether he was a real person or not) is a much better role model than the child molesting, murderous, and evil "prophet" called Muhammad. The Bible doesn't demand governments to be Christian but the Quran demands that all governments be Islamic by nature and the punishments are much more bizarre. In Islam, you can not even ask any questions about Muhammad or Allah but Christians and Jews are able to debate within themselves and ask questions. When a cartoon is drawn or a quran is burnt you see how savagely Muslims act throughout the world and those who are "moderate" instead of condemning the barbaric acts blame the "Salman Rushdie's" or the "Pastor" instead of placing blame on the perpetrators and culture of violence in the Islamic world. So why is it, that Christianity is often (in my opinion) overly criticized and Islam is not criticized enough when the gravest threat to the existence of the human race is surely an Islamic regime with nuclear weapons?? I'd like to get your opinions..

It is the duty of patriotic Afghans to kill as many of the mercenary thugs sent by brutal and distant occupying powers (the UN being, basically because of the security council, a U.S. stooge) as is possible.
Here is a despicable and filth post by "Brian Wood" in blatantly supporting terrorists in the attacks against our patriotic brave young men and women; but in addition to supporting attacks against the Afghan people since the majority of the Afghan people want our presence and assistance in helping them build a future. How despicable.
Followed by this was Reggie's reply seeming to affirm what Brian Wood said:
But...but...WE'RE the good guys! Didn't anyone tell them that their role is that of the bad guy?
You have no logic and common sense my friend...actually, I do think you have common sense. You just don't express it on here. You have become quite deluded with your warp mentality of world views. It is quite sad but it is your prerogative to hold those views; however unhealthy they may be.
Majority of Iranians are not of the Muslim faith. See, you don't even know how Iranians are. First OFF, the majority of Iranians CALL themselves Muslim because they believe in a god but they are not religious and do not pray. They despise organized religion. Like most American Christians, they just believe in a god and live their own life. Even that, less and less Iranians are even calling themselves Muslim. I just spent 8+ months in Iran as of recently and it made me happy to see more and more Iranians of all walks of life refusing to call themselves Muslim and many have become atheists, or Christian and Zoroastrian converts. A significant portion of others who still believe in god refuse to call themselves Muslim and that's from the youth to the middle-aged taxi driver to the store owners - and it includes many people inside of my own family.
But again, even for those Iranians who call themselves Muslim they are fake Muslims and not religious. The one thing this regime has done effective (the only thing) is to make sure that inside of a free and democratic Iran, there will be no influence of Islam. I believe in the era of my grandchildren, the vast majority of Iranians will even refuse to call themselves Muslim (right now it is prob. 20-30% don't even call themselves Muslim and 60-70% are non-religious and maybe 10% are religious max) - so please get an education or understanding of what is going on inside of Iran today.
And nuclear weapons in the hands of a regime that is "preparing for the return of imam mahdi" is indeed a dangerous predicament for the human race.
I am Iranian and America - dual citizen - I was born in Tehran and came to the U.S. when I was 3 but I have spent considerable periods of time - esp. as of recently when I spent 8+ months in Iran. And yes, I speak Farsi.
And I have to run right now but I will respond to the rest of the posts later. Bottom line: the Islamic regime in Iran is a regime that rapes - because Allah grants it - and murders from the will of "Allah"; Iranians of all walks of life can only dream and wish this regime will soon go...and hopefully the international community will step up to the plate in approximately 2-years when the people will have a chance to once again go to the streets.
We should have gone to Iran instead of Iraq. It was a bigger threat and Iranians are pro-west and pro-American; we are not Arabs and we are fake Muslims. But don't tell me the international community shouldn't assist the Iranian people when we rise again. This is a regime that will kill every last Iranian to keep power and Iranians in Iran don't have weapons. Remember, this is a regime that rapes virgins before executing them because they believe that "virgins go straight to heaven".
I for one on this 4th of July appreciative of the freedoms we have in the west in which some of us take for granted or fail to see what freedoms truly are. In Iran, I would be executed for being an atheist (apostate or kafar).
Yes, they would have. Again, I spent 8+ months in Iran as of 5-months ago (I think 6-months now) and I can say the majority of people wish that the U.S. would have assisted Iran in particular when the Islamic Republic was weaker. If this regime acquires a nuclear weapon - it takes the people hostage with them.
Remember two things: 70% of the country is under the age of 30 and those who are older are united against this regime as they lived under both the Shah and the Islamic Republic. In Iran, women had rights from the working to human rights to having fun. Women back then dressed as they wished and even the older people like my grandparents miss the Shah and regret everything that has taken Iran to the toilet.
In Iran there is a very dangerous highway which the regime refuses to fix. Why? Because they send all their money to terrorist organizations all around the world - from the Taliban to Muqtada Al-Sadr and other Shiite and even Sunni elements in Iraq to the Palestinian terrorist groups to Hizbollah to Syria to Africa to everywhere BUT MOTHER FUCKING IRAN. In this road, 80-120,000 people die each year in what should be preventable accidents if we had a government that cared.
Again, I truly say this from all walks of life. From my taxi driver I became friends with who fought in the Iran-Iraq war and saw friends die in front of him to the young to the elderly. This is a regime that will kill every last Iranian to keep power. If the U.S. had assisted in the liberation of Iran instead of Iraq; all the aftermath of terrorist attacks wouldn't have happened in Iran as the only terrorists we would have to worry about would be Hizbollis and they are very few in number and most of them would escape to Syria and Lebanon. Arabs would not be able to infiltrate Iran as we are Iranian and not Arab. They are not part of our culture and simply Iran would have been much easier, quicker, and the people would have been much more supportive and appreciate as we are not radical Muslims (the populace).
So to answer your question, none of that would have happened. It is simply the truth. Bush's biggest mistake was going to Iraq and not Iran ....it is what it is and the world is still a better place without Saddam Hussein. And you are right, that is exactly what would have happened. It is funny you make it sound like an implausible event but that is exactly what would have happened :(.
Would it surprise you to say that President Bush is a very popular figure in Iran? People love John McCain too ironically and Obama is not to popular...especially after neglecting Iran in 2009. Remember, after 9/11 who celebrated in the streets in the Middle East? Young Arab Muslims. Who mourned in candle light for the victims of 9/11? Iranians.
Behind Israel, Iran is the 2nd most pro-American people in the entire Middle East.
I think because they have a Christianity-back ground so they don't know Islam as well as Christianity..
The same attitude can be seen when reading which atheists of islamic back-ground write .Always muslim complain of bash Islam but not Christianity.
And agree with you that moderate Islam is a myth . But modernized Muslim criticized some aspect of their religion are existing . In fact by the sharia low those modernized muslin should be punished

Hit & Run: woman charged after leaving the scene
Jennifer Werder charged with drug DUI after pinning victim with SUV
Valdez woman Jennifer Werder spent three days in jail last week after she backed a blue Dodge Durango into a parked truck a week ago Monday, striking a woman who was talking to the truck's driver. Werder then drove away from the scene in front of South Central Hardware on Meals Avenue.
"I was very lucky," said Karla Allen, who was treated at the hospital and later released after receiving treatment for unspecified injuries after the incident.
Allen said she was talking to Todd Blinman, who was sitting in his truck on Meals Avenue, after he'd stopped the truck to chat when they noticed the Durango's back up lights were getting too close for comfort.
"I must have just taken a step at the right moment," Allen said. If she hadn't moved out of the way when she did "my knee would have been crunched."
The Durango also made contact with the truck, smashing in one of its doors before fleeing the scene.
"It was flipping weird," Allen said of the moments after the incident. "I was a little shocked," and very upset.
The store's manager, Myrna Plath, called police at 3:30 p.m. to report the accident and named Werder as the suspect driver according to charging documents.
Sgt. Kalin King of the Valdez Police Dept. responded to the scene and shortly thereafter to head towards the Werder residence up the highway.
"Allen stated that the Durango immediately drove away from the scene, heading outbound on Egan," King said in an affidavit filed in Valdez Court February 1. "Blinman's statement mirrored Allen's."
King spotted Werder, aged 42, near her residence and contacted her when she got out of the Durango.
"All Jennifer knew is when she looked back the lady was right there," King's affidavit said.
Werder claimed she asked Allen if she was okay and Allen said yes before Werder left the scene charging documents say. She also told police it is possible the victim had not heard her.
"…Jennifer stated that she had drank one beer just before going to South Central Hardwar," the affidavit said. "She estimated…she had taken a valium and a hydrocodone. She also stated that she has smoked some marijuana."
Police say Werder performed poorly on a three standardized field sobriety tests, had a slight odor of alcohol about her person, watery eyes and showed poor balance.
She was charged with DUI, reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident.
In Valdez Court the following day, Werder pleaded "no contest" to all three charges. A no contest plea means Werder would not fight the charges against her. In court, a no contest plea is treated the same as a plea of guilty.
According to court documents, Werder was ordered to serve five days of a 90 day sentence for the charge of driving under the influence, and three days of a 30 day sentence for reckless driving. A 60 day sentence for leaving the scene of the accident was suspended in full. Judge Dan Schally also ordered Werder's drivers license be suspended for 90 days for the DUI charge, which will run concurrently – meaning at the same time – as a 30 day suspension he imposed for the other two charges.
She was also fined $1880 plus an as-of-yet undetermined amount of restitution.

Military, Public Service, Services
By By Steve "Elroy" Colby | August 1, 2009

Computing available fuel for contingency mission execution is an art lost to the technology of mission computers. Sometimes having a simple tool to pull from your mental toolkit or from a page in your kneeboard can be a godsend during time-critical mission tasking.
When tasked for a mission that includes a search, it's paramount to properly calculate all the segments of the search and rescue which consume fuel. Clearly, you must calculate the time and fuel consumption for the enroute portion of your mission. Based upon mission criticality and/or available onboard fuel, this may be flown at maximum continuous speed V H or maximum range speed V M/R. A commonly omitted allowance is for sighting checks. Deviations from planned search patterns to confirm or ignore a possible sighting often consume 5 percent of total fuel onboard during a search. Remember to include fuel for the survivor landing (or hoist) and recovery. Some turbine aircraft burn substantial amounts of fuel even at flat pitch while waiting for the medics to package your patient. Some aircraft can't be throttled back to idle without bringing an APU online which then consumes a large portion of the potential idle RPM fuel savings. Knowing and using your most fuel efficient idle mode is essential to saving fuel and maximizing support time. Knowing your bingo fuel helps make the idle versus shutdown decision. The next enroute leg is to the hospital or recovery area. Again speed is dependent upon patient criticality, available fuel and distance. Remember to calculate the distance from the farthest point in the search area as Murphy always seems to put you there when you need gas or find your survivor. Sometimes you'll simply have to fly at V M/R to have sufficient fuel reserves to make it to the delivery site. Delays at the hospital helipad are inevitable. From the delivery point you'll have to either get to a fueling site or home. Finally, civilian and military regulatory guidance provides the requirements for your VFR or IFR fuel reserve. What results is a simple kneeboard spreadsheet format on which you have all the consumables in the top box in both pounds and hours and the available fuel on the bottom from which you subtract the sum of the consumable segments. The fuel remaining after these segments is that available for the search. The planner then has to determine at what speed he's going to fly his search pattern to maximize coverage. A good rule of thumb is to use recommended cruise speed for preliminary route, parallel or creeping line searches, and max endurance V M/E speed for the concentrated search portions. Establish a Joker fuel level that triggers a crew decision point for search continuation or a refueling stop.
One obvious need with this manual method is a quick means to measure time, distance and heading for the initial divert and for the various segments without using the navigation computer. Even the most advanced flight management systems don't have the flexibility to quickly calculate segment fuel without manually entering several waypoints and running the fuel calculator. Keying in several lat/long takes a long time and using a plotter and a whiz wheel is a bit of a pain. I carry in my flight bag, what's called a Declitractor. I've made a local modification creating a flexible laminated plastic plotter scale that's pinned in the center of it. This scale has distance and time (at nominal V M/R speed) measurements with 1:500 sectional scale on one side and 1:250 JOG on the other. You drop the device centered on your present position, align the declination grid (adjustable for agonic line changes), pull the plotter scale to your destination to obtain time and distance, and read the plotter line against the compass for proper magnetic heading. Quickly put these times into your fuel chart and compute the appropriate fuel consumption for each segment based on required speed. The chart provides a quickly calculated loiter/search time for your mission, taking the guesswork out of search and divert fuel planning.

Fiala, Hoogenboom Named Academic All-District
From Sports Information Director, May 19, 2014 | Men's Hockey
by Dan Lukes, email@example.com, (920) 403-4077
DE PERE - St. Norbert College's Marian Fiala and Brandon Hoogenboom were named to the first team of the Capital One NCAA Division III At-Large Academic All-District VI squad, presented by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). It is the first Academic All-District honor for both.
Fiala, a Bratislava, Slovakia, native, holds a 3.70 grade point average with a double major in business administration and economics. Fiala was a second-team All-America selection this past season while scoring six goals and 20 assists for 26 points as a junior defenseman. Fiala was a first-team All-Northern Collegiate Hockey Association honoree, and was 14th in Division III in scoring by a defenseman in 2013-14.
Hoogenboom, a Nanton, Alberta, native, possesses a 3.70 grade point average with a major in business administration. Hoogenboom was a two-year captain for the Green Knights and was an assistant captain as a sophomore. The senior forward scored 12 goals and seven assists for 19 points in 31 games this season. Hoogenboom was the hockey team's representative to the St. Norbert Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
St. Norbert went 28-3-1 this season, and won its fourth NCAA Division III national championship in seven years with a 3-1 win over UW-Stevens Point on March 22.
The at-large team encompasses student-athletes from the sports of bowling, crew, fencing, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming, tennis, men's volleyball, water polo and wrestling.
To be eligible for national or regional selection, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 on a scale of 4.0, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at his current institution and be nominated by his sports information director. The Academic All-America team, scheduled to be announced June 3, is selected after All-District teams are picked from eight geographic regions nationally. All first-team Academic All-District honorees advance to the Academic All-America ballot.

I prepare for Derby the same way every year by waiting until the last minute to find my wardrobe for the big race and preceding parties.
While it causes plenty of stress, I also find shopping at the 25th hour is best suited for someone who's overly indecisive. It forces me to go with my gut rather than overanalyze every outfit choice.
I've been to almost every boutique in the city this last week, but it wasn't until I stopped by NuLu for the neighborhood's first-ever Derby celebration that I finally felt relieved and satisfied with my attire.
On April 29, the boutiques, restaurants and businesses in the East Market District opened late to offer those scrambling for a Derby ensemble some much needed help and discounted prices.
A friend and I strolled down Market Street to peruse the unique stores and hope we'd finally put an end to all this shopping insanity.
For our first stop, we checked out Scout to browse its eclectic assortment of accessories and decor. While I was in awe of the jewelry displayed in the middle of the shop, my favorite merchandise, by far, was found looming in the back.
In case you haven't visited the boutique, I'll let you in on a secret. The greeting card collection hanging on the wall in the back room is slightly R-rated but nonetheless provided my friend and me a good 20 minutes of entertainment.
It may not be the right gift for your mother next Sunday, but for the person in your life with a quirky and raunchy sense of humor, the shocking stationary is sure to please.
Following the trip to Scout, I made my way into Ghyslain to see why everyone's abuzz about the restaurant. The quaint building was busy with people dining on bistro fare and delicious chocolate and pastries. Sadly, dessert is not part of my Derby diet, but I now know where I'm heading for my post-May 5 brunch.
From Ghyslain, my friend and I made our way into Flo gallery and Peace of the Earth, where Klondike and the Slow Rush performed for the NuLu celebration.
Then, came the moment I had finally been waiting for – the chance to put my Derby stress at bay with the completion of my outfit.
I had a feeling when I stepped inside Gifthorse that I'd find the element I was missing. While I already had my Derby dress picked out, I needed the essential headwear to top off my look.Just a few days earlier, owner Butch Sager had put the finishing touches on a yellow fascinator that went perfectly with my bright turquoise dress. Color blocking is in this season, so I knew this was the item I was meant to wear to Derby. One look in the mirror and I had fallen in love and all my anxiety was finally diminished.
If you're still looking to piece together the perfect outfit for Saturday, NuLu is a great area to find unique, one-of-a-kind accessories and trendy attire. But preparing for the Run for the Roses isn't the only reason to shop in NuLu, though. The boutiques and restaurants are a go-to spot year-round.

Letters to the editor
European family ties are knotty
I have trouble understanding "Europeans are one big family" (SN: 6/15/13, p. 8). It says that every person living in Europe today shares a common set of ancestors. First, what does "set" mean? "Set" implies there are certain common characteristics of the members, but people living in Europe 1,000 years ago had only one thing in common: living in Europe. Second, I interpret the article to mean that everybody now living in Europe is descended from people who lived in Europe 1,000 years ago. But this cannot possibly be true. Immigration has been more or less continuous, has it not? The ancestors of many present-day Europeans lived in Africa and Asia a lot more recently than 1,000 years ago.
Fredric Blum, Merion, Pa.
The reader is right that recent immigrants to Europe might not share ancestors in this time range. Stu

The Panthers signed wide receiver Dale Moss on Wednesday, the NFL disclosed in its transactions.
Moss, 24, was waived by the Bears on June 10. The 6-4, 197-pound South Dakota State product entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with Green Bay in 2012. He played basketball in college before transitioning to football in 2011.
Moss is the nephew of Johnny Rodgers, the 1972 Heisman Trophy winner for Nebraska.
In a corresponding move, the Panthers waived-injured another wide receiver, R.J. Webb. The nature of his injury is unknown. Webb signed with the Panthers on May 13 after trying out with the club during its rookie minicamp. The 25-year-old wideout played for Furman University from 2005 through 2009.
The Panthers have 13 wide receivers, with Steve Smith and Brandon LaFell the starters.

Independent arms allow users to train one limb at a time or continue training one limb while recovering from an injury to the opposite side.

Since Curtis Strange repeated as U.S. Open champion 25 years ago, the first to do so since Ben Hogan in 1951, many of golf's elite have attempted to join their company. Tiger Woods, Hale Irwin, Ernie Els and Payne Stewart headline the 18-strong group, which also includes Tom Kite, Retief Goosen and Rory McElroy.
None succeeded. In fact, as reigning Open champions, none finished within three of the lead.
That speaks to the challenge confronting 2013 winner Justin Rose this week at Pinehurst No. 2, where the 114th Open begins Thursday, and where Strange again will be part of ESPN's broadcast crew.
A Hampton Roads native, Strange won his first Open in 1988, defeating Nick...
