August Engelhardt wasn't the only European thinker to run Kurtz-like into the heart of darkness, but he may have been the maddest of all.
In 1902, the 25-year-old German health reformer, who practiced sun worship and a strict coconut diet, retreated from Bavarian university life to Kabakon Island in New Guinea, which he purchased from his mother country with an inheritance. He brought a library's worth of books to keep him company and invited others from home to join him in "paradise." Things did not go well, and it's a marvel that Engelhardt was able to survive until 1919, though some of his acolytes weren't nearly so "aged" when they expired.
Despite the title of this New York Times piece from the October 15, 1905 edition, as you can see in the top photo, some women eventually made their way to Engelhardt's folly, but they were infrequently attracted by Kabakon's severe cocovorism and nudism. But the far larger error in the Times story is the fact that 1905 wasn't nearly the end of his life or experiment; Engelhardt recovered from his serious illness and returned to Kabokon, unable to to depart from his radical lifestyle anymore than T.E. Lawrence could leave the sands, drawn again and again by some ineffable void inside.
I suppose the most generous assessment of Engelhardt came from an Australian captain after visiting the colony: "Could the world do without living examples in self-sacrifice–even if their ideals are wrong? And would we not all fall asleep, if it were not for a sprinkling of extremists?"
An excerpt from the Times article:
"August Engelhardt was at least sincere in his faith and in the observance of its tenets. For days he lived alone, eating nothing but bread fruit and cocoanuts, swimming in the sea or the still lagoon; studying in the fauna and flora of his island by day, or lying on the hot beach; by night sleeping in a hollow scooped out of the sand.
Occasionally he saw, or thought he saw, men moving in the cocoa groves, and once when he went to investigate he discovered for a certainty that he was not alone on the island. A number of lithe, naked, dark-skinned men and women ran hastily away. But the natives were few and harmless; apparently, too, they feared if they did not actually worship this great man with white skin and shaggy yellow hair who emerged glistening from the lagoon, or appeared suddenly in the cocoa groves. They kept away from him and were even more exclusive when his companions came.
It may be supposed that Engelhardt led a dreary life on Kahakua while awaiting the arrival of his disciples, but if one may judge the student's temperament from his acts it seems more likely that this was the happiest period of his existence on the atoll. He had left the world behind him; he was free. Of the food of his choice he lacked none, and the balmy air of the Pacific, the warm sun of the tropics, and the cool spray of the 'combers' were his playthings. At dawn the nature feasted upon his eyes with beauty as the sun, his god, climbed over the horizon, tinted the palm crests with gold, the sea with amber and opal and crimson, and bathed the kneeling figure on the beach with a mantle that was his inspiration. By day Engelhardt's joy was that of a dream realized. At sunset the lagoon clasped his god in a broil of molten lava; then came the night, with the great dome of stars, the breeze rustling though the cocoa fronds, and the Pacific chanting like a great organ, lulling him to sleep.
But there was an end to this, and a beginning to disillusion. The vessel which was to have brought his converts dropped anchor in the lagoon. A boat came ashore with four men in it, two of them sailors, the other two Engelhardt's staunchest disciples. They were Max Lutzow, at one time director of the well-known Orchestra of Berlin, and Heinrich Eukens, a student of Bavaria and a native of Heligoland. The other converts, upon the departure of Engelhardt and his eloquence, had received the attention of other sects, and been convinced that Kahakua was full of cannibals, sweltering with fever miasma; in brief, that Engelhardt was leading them to death.
It was a great blow to Engelhardt, but the die had been cast. The vessel sailed away, and he, with Lutzow and Eukens, was left on the island. The two new arrivals were delighted with the appearance of Engelhardt. Weeks of life under the sun, in the salt sea, and living upon fruit, had brought him to a state of wonderful physical perfection. His skin was like copper and against it his yellow hair shone like gold. The two disciples immediately joined him in his method of living. For days theirs was an idyllic state, and they were contented. But an end came. The sudden change had been too much for the less-rugged constitution of Eukens, who contracted a cold, developed fever, and died quite suddenly. He had been given no remedies, as it was contrary to the faith of the sun worshippers.
His companions buried him in the sand. For days they wandered listlessly about the island, the spell of which had been broken. But at length they realized that such an undertaking could not be expected to succeed without suffering.
They began again, and things went well, although the gloom attending the death of Eukens never left them. Lutzow, the musician, developed the physical strength which characterized Engelhardt. For a year the two men lived comparatively happily, except for one thing, which is the one ray of humor in the whole history.
It was understood that the world of civilization–art, letters, dress, and diet–had been forgotten, but the genius of Lutzow was something which was all Lutzow and nothing of Engelhardt. Lutzow and his music could not be separated. Donizetti was his favorite, although the long hours of the idle day he did not forget passages from Wagner, Verdi, Mascagni, Bach, Liszt, Beethoven, and others. Engelhardt loved music, but he had a particular aversion to Donizetti and a positive horror of Bizet, who was associated in his mind with "Carmen," who in turn was the bête noir of his faith.
Engelhardt tolerated the music as long as he could; then, unable to associate with a human musical, he quarreled with Lutzow. It was a bitter quarrel, for the student had hurt the musician to the quick. Eventually the two men became so estranged that Lutzow applied one night for permission to sleep away from the island on the Wesleyan mission cutter from Ulu, which was in the lagoon.
That night the cutter dragged her moorings and was carried on the tide through the narrows to the open sea. Cross-currents prevented the craft from pulling back for two days, during which Lutzow still observant of the sun-worshippers' faith, refused to take shelter, and also refused all nourishment that was not fruit. There was no fresh fruit on board, consequently he starved. He lay upon the deck of the cutter, too, for two days and two nights, exposed to a cold, wet wind. Shorty after the cutter put back into the lagoon the musician developed a high temperature. He grew worse, lingered for a week, then died.
He was buried in the sand by Engelhardt beside the unfortunate Eukens. The Wesleyan missionaries offered to take Engelhardt back to civilization. He flew into a rage, said he owned the island, and forbade them ever to drop anchor in the lagoon of Kahakua again.
So the cutter sailed away to Ulu and Engelhardt was left alone in the Palm Temple. For nearly two years more he continued to live the 'pure, natural life,' but the charm had been completely broken by the death of his two disciples.
Then in 1903 came a drought which reduced the fruit crop. The little left of it was wiped out in the Spring of 1904 by a storm. Engelhardt had the alternative of casting in his lot with the natives and eating hogflesh, or sending a request for succor to Ulu or Herbertshohe. He did neither in his stubborness, and starvation and thirst did their work.
One day a canoe paddled into Herbertshohe, driven by two natives who said the white man was sick and possessed of devils; wandering about Kahakua preaching his doctrine to the trees and frightening the natives. Would the German officials please come and take him away?
Engelhardt refused all nourishment to the last, refused all medicine, and accused the missionary of interfering with his convictions. He wrought himself up to a great frenzy, fell upon the deck, and was restrained only with difficulty from flinging himself overboard and swimming back to his island. Before the beach had sunk below the horizon the man was dead. Then the launch put back.
Wrapped in a German flag, August Engelhardt, founder and last survivor of the sun worshippers, was laid to rest beside Lutzow and Eukens on the beach at Kahakua."•

I had the privilege, recently, to interview Dr. Christine Carter—definitely one of the highlights of my professional career so far. Catch the interview replay here.
A major highlight during our conversation was how Dr. Carter checks her email. She only checks email four or five times per day—that is it. I have to admit, when she said that, inside I said to myself, "Yeah right, that's impossible."
In this 24×7 world, it seems like a tall order to not be plugged in on an ongoing basis.
Later, though, I started to notice that a handful of people I truly admire, when I communicate with them, don't necessarily respond right away. In fact, I started to notice that, in a couple specific circumstances, people I consider thought leaders and the most productive in my extended circle have some similar email patterns.
I noticed, for example, a couple people replied to me within a specific hour-long period of the day (in both cases, it was between 4 and 5:30pm PT). That got me thinking.
What would happen if I did the same? What would be possible for my level of focus?
Dr. Carter had four or five times per day she checks email. Roughly, she said it goes something like this:
- Shortly after waking up, checking on phone only to see if any emergencies;
- At 11am, a quick scan through;
- At 3pm a thorough clean-out, checking and responding to all important messages; and
- After dinner, checks personal email only, to coordinate kid logistics for school, etc.
Yes, it's work to make a new habit, and she said that we are genetically programmed to want to check email, to get the juice that comes with it energetically. And, we need to make it as easy as possible for ourselves to succeed in focusing our attention away from email in order to reap the benefits of this strategy.
Dr. Carter talked about "hiding the Halloween candy." And by that she means that she recognizes the temptation to check email on her phone when it is handy so she makes sure that her phone is out of site when it is not email-checking time. She also said that it is important for the brain to know, when you are implementing a new habit to not check email all the time, that you will check it at a certain time, so that the brain can relax about it.
Over the past few days I have been experimenting with this technique and have noticed a few things about myself and what is possible for me:
- It is much more satisfying to check a solid group of email messages and reply one after another than to do it piecemeal throughout the day. I am less exhausted when I don't change what I focus on attention-wise by getting side-tracked into email issues all day long.
- If I don't check my email before I go to bed, I sleep more soundly – and generally longer.
- If I do check my email before I go to bed but don't respond to the emails I see, I have an easier time turning off at night and getting good rest than when I do engage with the emails and start responding to them.
- I am able to focus much better in the morning than in the evening, and a message that takes me 10 min to write in the evening takes about half that time in the morning.
- Sometimes when I don't respond immediately to an email that outlines an issue, the issue gets resolved without my involvement at all. Less work for me!
All these observations came to me through simple experimentation and noticing, without really trying to shift my email behavior. Imagine what would be possible if I made a more concerted effort! Wow.
So, if your email is overwhelming you, and you are hooked on checking it all the time, feeling the need to keep plugged in all day long, I encourage you to consider listening to my interview with Dr. Carter for some additional neuroscience behind how to train yourself to change patterns of behavior that seem intractable. And then experiment like I'm doing.
And let me know how it goes—I'd love to hear how it's working (or not) for you.

KANSAS CITY — The U.S. average retail diesel fuel price was a record high $3.552 a gallon as of Feb. 25, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (E.I.A.) said.
Brad Samples, commodity analyst with Summit Energy, Louisville, Ky., said the high prices are the result of record high crude oil futures prices, strong demand for heating oil due to colder than normal winter temperatures in the United States and Europe and strong export demand, both from Europe and emerging economies.
The latest average, up 15.6c from a week earlier, surpassed the previous record high of $3.444 set Nov. 30, 2007, and was nearly 40c above the post-Hurricane Katrina high of $3.157 set Oct. 28, 2005, according to E.I.A. data. The latest price was $1.001 above the year-ago average of $2.551 a gallon.
Since the previous high, prices bottomed at $3.259 a gallon on Feb. 1. But crude oil prices have climbed steadily since then, with the New York Mercantile Exchange continuous futures contract closing at a record high $100.88 a barrel on Feb. 26, up from $88.96 on Feb. 1 and a recent low of $86.99 on Feb. 23. A year ago crude oil futures were hovering around $60 a barrel in New York.
High crude oil prices were "financial" in nature rather than demand driven, Mr. Samples said. Actual demand was softening because of recessionary influences, he said.
Last week the E.I.A. reported crude oil inventories at 308.5 million barrels as of Feb. 22, up 3.2 million for the week and up for the seventh consecutive week. Gasoline stocks were at 232.6 million barrels, up for the 16th consecutive week and the largest since Feb. 4, 1994. But distillate inventories, which include heating oil and diesel fuel, declined 2.5 million barrels, to 120 million, after dropping 4.5 million a week earlier.
"Distillate stocks are incredibly low," Mr. Samples said, especially noting tight supplies for heating oil in Europe. Adding to the tight supply situation was reduced refinery output of distillates due to weak margins at the start of the year and a number of refinery outages, he said.
"I wouldn't expect to see a great deal of weakness in diesel prices in the next two to three weeks," Mr. Samples said. "The main potential for easing in the entire crude complex will be later in the second quarter."
Diesel prices will ease in the second quarter as heating oil demand drops, refinery production increases due to improved margins and the weak economy pressures demand in general, Mr. Samples predicted. But he noted demand for diesel fuel from the agricultural sector, which had good profits in 2007, will increase seasonally with spring planting.
In its latest short-term energy outlook, the E.I.A. forecast retail diesel prices would average $3.21 a gallon in 2008, up from $2.88 in 2007, and forecast a decline to $3.08 in 2009.
Mr. Samples said he expects diesel prices to average about 15c below the E.I.A. forecast for 2008 because of the weak U.S. economy.
"Diesel is highly responsive to the economy," he said.
The U.S. diesel price compiled by the Department of Energy's E.I.A. is an average of on-highway prices in five regions and three sub-regions. The highest average price as of Feb. 25 was in the New England sub-region at $3.710 a gallon, and the lowest average was in the Rocky Mountain region at $3.473.

A MOTHER needed surgery after her internal organs were damaged by a kick to the stomach from her ex-boyfriend.
Her ruptured spleen had to be removed and her kidney was lacerated in the terrifying attack, during which she was threatened with a knife by Shaun Armbruster.
At Newcastle Court yesterday the 23-year-old attacker, of Ferryboat Lane, Hylton Castle, was jailed for seven-and-a-half years after admitting causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
Mr Justice Clarke told him: "You subjected your former partner to a terrifying ordeal.
"The injury required surgical removal of part of her body.
"The kicking took place with a shod foot and must have been very severe."
Prosecutor Michael Hodson said the attack happened at Armbruster's mother's house in Sunderland, after he confronted his former girlfriend about seeing someone else and letting her new partner be around their two-year-old son.
Mr Hodson said: "When she sat down on the chair the defendant hit her in the face, and dragged her by the hair through the kitchen and dining room area.
"She is unable to describe how many times he hit her or how he hit her, but she has a recollection that she was lying on the floor next to the dining room table and was curled up on her side when the defendant kicked her in the stomach.
"She cannot remember how he kicked her or how many times."
The court heard the woman believed she lost consciousness during the attack, in February last year.
She told police she remembered bleeding from the mouth before slumping onto a bed upstairs.
The next thing she remembered was Armbruster standing over her with a knife.
Mr Hodson said: "What he did with the knife was place the blade on the top of her left leg, on top of her clothes.
"She was very frightened, begging him to put the knife down and get away from her."
The court heard the next thing the victim remembers was Armbruster's mum returning from work and an ambulance being called.
A pathologist who examined her internal injuries said they were consistent with blunt impacts.
As well as the damage to he spleen and kidney, she had a lump on her head, grazing to her face and bruises to her arms.
Andrew Finlay, mitigating, said Armbruster had been the victim of a samurai sword attack not long before the assault and was showing symptoms of post traumatic stress, as well as mental health problems he was already suffering from.
Mr Finlay said Armbruster feels real remorse for what he did.

Explore Kotor, Montenegro
Sweat rolled down my back as I climbed the 10,000th stair. My legs burned, and I desperately tried not to suck in air like a dying woman. I glanced at the sun sinking behind the mountains on the opposite end of the Bay of Kotor and pushed myself to move faster. Finally, I cleared the last step. I settled onto an ancient stone wall and watched the sun finish it's journey below the edge of the mountain.
The bay was bathed in a soft golden glow. An ancient stone town huddled against the base of the mountain below me. Soaring peaks cut jagged black shadows on the opposite side of the water. I smiled into the cool breeze that pushed my hair off my shoulders and soaked in that view. I had just climbed to the fortress over the ancient town of Kotor, and it was everything I'd hoped it would be.
Exploring Kotor, Montenegro
I don't recall exactly when Montenegro made it's way onto my radar. All I know is that at some point, it became a must-visit. So I built the European leg of my travels around this tiny Balkan country, with a start in Kotor. Within moments of arriving, I knew I had chosen the best place to break into the country. It was like a town from a fairy tale — old stone walls, imposing churches, charming squares, and narrow alleyways full of secret shops.
Kotor, like much of the Balkans, is a hotspot for backpackers. Lower costs for traveling and placement outside of the Schengen Area means many budget travelers can stretch their dollars to the max and won't be booted out of country after 90 days. Fortunately, Kotor willingly and deftly caters to budget travelers. Here's a guide to the best of the best.
Montenegro Hostel4U: This hostel is on the waterfront just outside the walls of Old Town. It gets points for location, excellent hosts, and a fun atmosphere. The emphasis is on a good time more than a clean and noise-free sleeping experience, though. The sheets are always clean, but the kitchen and bathrooms will leave a little to be desired. But Boban and Marko, the guys who run the place, will make sure you have a a super fun time while you're in Kotor, so letting go of the little things is a little easier.
Old Town Hostel: This top-rated hostel has two locations, both in Old Town Kotor. Guests rave about the staff, the amenities (ensuite bathrooms — score!), and the €5 dinner as a way to meet other guests. Staying directly inside the old stone walls of town has a charm that the other hostel lacks, as well. This one books up early, so plan ahead or expect to stay somewhere else!
Galion: If you're like me, you'll blow your budget on a good meal. Galion is the place to do it in Kotor. Perched on the edge of the water with views of Old Town and an ambiance that will blow your mind, this is the place to forget you're sleeping in a hostel for a few hours. What to order? Their seafood.
Papalada: This caravan burger joint is hard to beat for value… only €2 for a cheeseburger! They're not the best burgers I've ever had, but I'm a bit of a burger fanatic and my standards are pretty dang high. They're still pretty good! And to fill your belly cheaply, you can't go wrong. It's just outside the Old Town walls near the beach parking.
Dojmi: This little cafe is a good spot to park out for a few hours with a coffee, a pastry and your laptop. They have free wifi and good java, and it's airy and bright. The huge windows will almost make you feel like you're still outside exploring while you get some work done.
Odds are good that you'll be spending time on a hostel-organized pub crawl (yet another reason to stay in a hostel instead of a hotel), but visit the below spots if you'd prefer to explore on your own.
Old Winery: Balkan wine? Yup! You can taste your way through a flight of vino from these lesser-known wine producing regions at the Old Winery. I love learning about obscure wines, and the bartenders here are knowledgeable and happy to share that knowledge. Word on the street is the food is good, too.
Citadela: It's a pretty busy spot, but the views are an excellent reason to brave the crowds. It's decent value for money as well — not budget prices but affordable and the food is great. If you don't want to get spendy just enjoy a sunset drink here.
Havana: This is a stop on almost every hostel pub crawl in town, so if you're staying on your own head here to meet other travelers. It's a lively scene with drink specials and a fun vibe.
Maximus: If you like partying late-night, Maximus is the dance club that everyone heads to when the bars close around 1 a.m. This place will keep the party rocking until 4 a.m., so if you're feeling the beat, put it on your list. Some pretty famous European DJs have been known to make appearances from time to time, so check their website.
Climb the Fortress
This is the no-brainer if you visit Kotor. Zig-zagging up the mountainside behind Old Town, a series of stone steps soar up the mountainside and end in a stunning view of the town and the Bay of Kotor. During the day there is a cost to access the pathway, so budget travelers will brave it at night. Be cautious if you do this and bring a good flashlight, as it will be dark! If you're willing to get up super early, you can skip hiking in the heat and enjoy the cool morning air while watching the sun light up the mountainside on the opposite side of the bay.
Explore Old Town
Getting lost down the narrow, twisting alleyways of Kotor's Old Town might be the best (and cheapest!) way to spend an afternoon. You'll find art galleries, souvenir shops, ancient churches and chapels, and squares dotted with tables and umbrellas. The photo opportunities are endless, and you can pretend you're a Medieval princess wandering the stone streets.
Day Trip to Lovcen National Park
Getting here isn't exactly easy, but you can rent a car or band together with other travelers to organize transport to this stunning spot an hour away from Kotor. There are plenty of excellent hikes through the mountains worth checking out. But be sure not to miss Njegos' Mausoleum, a visually stunning monument to the legendary Montenegrin poet. It's the closest you can get to walking in the clouds.
Have you been to Kotor? What do you think shouldn't be missed? Let me know in the comments!

Camel Jam is a painting of the camel rides available to tourists when visiting the Great Pyramids in Cairo. Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas and is available for purchase thru my website.
In a way, this painting is indicative of the paths we have in life, some entering and those leaving. What matters most is how the time is spent between birth and death, or what some call the dash. While life can be somewhat difficult to navigate, keeping one's heart and mind looking forward with love and kindness, without regard to what is in one's past that could shadow everything in the present with regret or pain is possible. Forgiveness is key. Forgive others and also remember to forgive yourself. Your 'dash' can be a lighter journey when love, kindness, compassion and tolerance, and also forgiveness is what you carry with you. Make this year's journey filled with light, love, and blessings. I hope you can be this to those you meet.

Q: Who can help me with this process?
A: ESP employs full-time Credentialing Coordinators. Their job is to make sure each ESP physician and advanced practice provider (NP/PA) stays on course to complete their hospital credentialing paperwork as quickly as possible. For more information call us at 888-800-8237. This very important service is provided to ESP affiliated physicians and APPs only.
Q: What will the credentialing process require?
A: We will send you a list of all documents and paperwork we will need. Some of these include a copy of your driver's license, medical diploma, internship and residency diplomas, a passport-sized photo, a current CV, your medical license from all states in which you have worked, your Texas Controlled Substance Permit (DPS), your federal DEA permit, your board certificate, your ACLS, ATLS, and PALS or BLS certificates and your NPI number. Your Credentialing Coordinator will send this checklist to you, as well as advise you on any particular requirements at the hospital where you will be credentialing.
Q: How long will my credentialing take?
A: The credentialing process can be a long one. Hospitals require primary source verification of your complete history and hospital affiliations since medical school, as well as education verification and peer references to meet Joint Commission requirements.
Your Credentialing Coordinator can give you an estimate of how long the process will take.
On average, once the hospital receives your completed application and all required documents, it takes 60 to 90 days (longer if you have been in practice for a while). Please note that some hospitals will not begin processing an application until all training has been completed and verified. Additionally, some hospitals will not process an application until a Texas medical license (or a temporary license) has been issued.
Q: What can I expect in the process?
A: After an offer is made and your Credentialing Coordinator receives your file, you will be sent a pre-populated Texas Standardized Credentialing Application and the hospital credentialing packet along with a return envelope. All forms will be flagged and highlighted for your convenience. You need to return your packet within two weeks to stay on track for your credentialing process to proceed smoothly.
When we receive the packet back in our office, we will review it for accuracy and completeness and forward it on to the hospital. The hospital will conduct primary source verifications for your education, previous work history, past and current hospital affiliations, and peer references.
After the file is deemed complete by the hospital medical staff office, your file goes before the credentials committee and finally to the board of the hospital, which gives final approval of privileges. These boards sometimes meet monthly and some only quarterly, so it is imperative to return paperwork in a timely manner.
Please note that each hospital's credentialing process is different, and more documentation or less work may be required of you depending on the facility you have selected.
Q: What is the difference between work history and hospital affiliation?
A: Work history refers to the group or clinic that employed you, while hospital affiliation is the facility at which you practiced/held privileges.
Q: Why did I receive paperwork from a billing company?
A: In addition to the hospital packet, you will receive a financial credentialing packet from Intermedix. The billing office will submit the paperwork necessary to assign Medicare, Medicaid and Blue Cross Blue Shield numbers that will be needed to bill patients and receive reimbursements. ESP Credentialing Coordinators will provide Intermedix with preliminary information to enable them to send you the packet. They will also send Intermedix copies of any applicable documents necessary to submit your application to the carriers that you have already provided to ESP.
Q: Can ESP Credentialing Coordinators help me with licensure questions?
A: Yes, and we are happy to do so! We can assist you with questions regarding the Texas medical license process, Texas controlled substance permit, and the federal DEA permit.
Q: Who are the ESP Credentialing Coordinators, and how do I contact them?
A: Our contact information is as follows:
Patty Linthicum, Credentialing Supervisor
Direct phone: (512) 610-0317
Brenna Heath, Credentialing Coordinator
Direct phone: (512) 610-0332

By Kristi Pihl, December 13, 2012, Tri-City Herald
Making Vista Field Airport a premier airport or redeveloping the property as a mixed-use walkable community both would have a positive economic benefit for the Tri-Cities.
But the costs and tradeoffs will be different, Michael Mehaffy, project manager with consultant Duany Plater-Zyberk & Co. told Port of Kennewick commissioners this week.
Duany Plater-Zyberk & Co. is in the process of analyzing the two visions of the airport property's future, which were created with input from the community at workshops last month.
Mehaffy reminded commissioners that both proposals were viable options for the 90-acre airfield near the Three Rivers Convention Center.
A draft of the report will be issued in early January, he said. There will be a 30-day comment period, and then the final report will be issued in early February, Mehaffy said.
An environmental impact statement will be a result of the study. It's a legal requirement for major land use actions, Mehaffy said.
The report also will include an economic analysis where the two options are compared with each other and to a baseline of current Vista Field activity, he said.
Part of what will be included is the fiscal impact to the port and likely change in the port's operating income, Mehaffy said. In both scenarios, that will be better than what currently occurs with Vista Field.
However, the amount of investment required from the public will be different, he said. The airport investment option likely will require more investment from the public.
Port Commission Chairman Skip Novakovich said the port has the information now to help make a good decision on the property's future.
Tim Arntzen, port executive director, said the port will use the information in the report and ask Foster Pepper of Seattle to come up with financing options for the two options.
That aspect is critical, Novakovich said.
The port intends to let taxpayers decide what they will support using an advisory vote next year.

In a city known for its music, an evening trip to the opera is a must. Prior to Vienna, I'd only been to one sampling of the operatic arts for a preview show at the Lyric Opera in Chicago. That program was 90 minutes and featured selected works from all of their upcoming operas.
On our first night in Vienna, after a flight full of aspiring baby opera hopefuls, we decided to go big and see Macbeth performed by one of the preeminent opera companies in the world.
Looking at available tickets a few weeks ago wasn't encouraging. Opera is expensive, especially when going to see one of the best in an opulent setting. There are tickets for 20€, but those were long gone. The available tickets were in the 60-300€ range. A bit more than we intended to spend.
Have no fear; Rick Steves is here! For tourists, or those who just want a sample, there are standing room tickets known as Stehplatz. Turn up to the theater 90 minutes before curtain, wait in line and then grab standing room tickets for 3€ each. Rick's book on Vienna has full details on where to go to get your stehplatz ticket.
Once inside, we followed the custom and roped off two spots with our scarves. The scarves serve as placeholders so you can wander around the opera house before showtime. When I travel, I often wonder if certain customs would work in the US. I can almost guarantee this polite claiming of space would result in a Macbethian death match in the US. You'd lose your scarf, space or both. For a moment, I considered swapping my scarf with someone else's for a more advantageous view.The opera was beautiful. Alas, after a long flight, a disco nap and wandering the streets of Vienna, my ability to remain awake was tested. Without shame, I admit I fell asleep to some of the most luscious sounds. At intermission some of the tourists cleared out so Leann and I moved up a row. After my opera nap, I was ready for Act II. We lasted a bit longer before calling it a night. Upon looking at our phones for the time, we discovered we'd only been at the Staatsoper for about an hour. There were two more hours of Macbeth.
Thankfully for me, Leann's knowledge of Shakespeare meant I could be filled in on the ending on our stroll to find dinner.

The Rock Girl Safe Spaces Campaign is a public art and education initiative that is partnering with artists and designers to design and create symbolic and real safe spaces around South Africa. The campaign was inspired by a group of Grade 7 learners from Manenberg. The first Safe Space bench and the first Safe Space Room were created there in 2011 – and these young people have now prompted the creation of an additional 40 Safe Space benches and spaces around the city of Cape Town. The campaign is now spreading to Johannesburg, where the first Safe Space bench, sponsored by Investec, was installed in 2013. Each Safe Space bench or room in an urban area has a sister bench in a more disadvantaged community, school, NGO, or institution. In 2013, Rock Girl was chosen as a World Design Capital 2014 partner, and is currently implementing four WDC2014 projects around Cape Town.
Rock Girl creates real safe spaces in some of the most dangerous, challenged communities in Cape Town. At the same time, Rock Girl hopes to create symbolic safe spaces to raise awareness and unite men and women, boys and girls in the effort to end violence against women and girls.
Rock Girl believes the creation of safe spaces breaks down cultural, racial, economic, social, and professional barriers. This forms the foundation of our work. Rock Girl does not dictate what the spaces, benches, or projects should look like but instead allows designers and community members to work together towards a shared vision. Rock Girl is a youth-led initiative, and all of our projects are inspired by the needs of young people.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Squash Smarts Inc, Philadelphia, PA, USA
During the first 5 years of SquashSmarts, I championed their program from afar. In the more recent 5 years, starting in 2007, I became a rampant fan! I got to know Steve Gregg, its fearless leader, and the rest of his team. This is when I began to more thoroughly understand SquashSmarts' gift for providing academic support along with the experiences for their kids that would expand their view of the world. My feelings turned to passion when Steve and I talked about using my film production skills to create a video exclusively interviewing the middle school and high school SquashSmarts kids. This opportunity expanded my vision of and passion for SquashSmarts by getting to know the kids better. Hearing how they feel about SquashSmarts in their own words and the influence SquashSmarts has had on them is so meaningful. It can be viewed on YouTube : youtube.com/watch?v=uqbMLSs-RDY. I love and respect SquashSmarts and am so impressed with the kids and the team that nurtures their individual gifts. Since producing the film, I try to volunteer as much as possible and feel better about myself every time I walk away.

Series record: Colts lead 15-13.
Last time met: Titans 31, Colts 21, Oct. 27, 2008.
Last game: Colts beat Jaguars 31-24; Titans beat Steelers 31-14.
The rundown: Titans have won three of last five in series, and those five games have been decided by combined total of 22 points. ... Titans clinched AFC's No. 1 seed and home-field advantage with victory over Pittsburgh last week. ... QB Kerry Collins is expected to start, but backup Vince Young is likely to see his most action since being replaced by Collins in Week 2. ... Titans' defense leads NFL, allowing 14.1 points per game. ... S Michael Griffin is tied for NFL lead with seven interceptions, and RB LenDale White has rushed for 15 TDs. ... Colts have clinched AFC's No. 5 seed and will visit AFC West champion, Denver or San Diego, for first-round game. ... Indy's eight-game winning streak is NFL's longest current streak. ... Indy needs one more win to extend its NFL record of consecutive 12-win seasons to six. ... Peyton Manning needs 93 yards for his ninth 4,000-yard season, three more than Dan Marino's previous record. ... A victory would give Manning 117 career wins with Colts, one fewer than John Unitas' franchise record.

Entry by invitation only
Sir The first phase of polling in Jammu and Kashmir seems to have passed off fine, but why is the Indian government so inexplicably touchy about foreign observers' As it turned out, foreigners by the carloads seemed to have been in the state during the elections the Centre itself made all arrangements for 28 diplomats to go to the valley and there were many mediapersons from all over the world (EC invites envoys to Valley, Sep 16). What are they if not foreign observers, on whose testimony the world will decide whether or not the elections were free and fair' So why the reticence, at the official level, on foreigners' Or was that merely for the domestic audience' The government must have a very poor opinion of the average Indians intelligence if it believes that he will be taken in by such a ruse. In the event, all that the government's no foreign observers stance has done is to make it seem capricious and laughable in international circles.
Yours faithfully, R. Chatterjee, Calcutta
Go slow
Sir Know-it-all votaries of economic reforms seem to think that disinvestment and privatization are the answer to all our economic ills. This view is bereft of all common-sense, let alone economic logic. Such economists and intellectuals display the same kind of herd-mentality they showed during the boom in the new-economy stocks not so long ago. None of these pro-reformists, or even the media, considers how the disinvestment proceeds will be used. The knowledge that they are being put into the consolidated fund of India is hardly reassuring. Remember how the large cache of nearly Rs 10,000 crore, raised under the voluntary disclosure of income scheme, was wasted in paying increased salaries to government employees as per the directives of the fifth pay commission despite pious intentions of using the money for infrastructure-building.
The present government resembles a pauper rummaging the closet for any remaining family silver. But unless the government controls its fiscal deficit, disinvestment will simply mean an easy source of cash to be spent on its army of employees for salaries and other current expenditures. If this continues, we will end up selling off all our public sector undertakings without any long-term benefits, as happened in Argentina. A method should be devised whereby the divestment proceeds can be locked-up, say in an escrow account, so that it can be used only for the purpose it is intended which may be to finance infrastructure projects or retire high cost debt. The lack of checks on how disinvestment proceeds are being utilized is a dangerous, even fatal, flaw in a country where profligacy comes first and accountabilty last.
Yours faithfully, Anand Kumar Jhunjhunwala, Calcutta
Sir In sports, players can ask for time-out to recoup if things are not going their way. Perhaps, we need a time-out on the disinvestment process. The process is in a critical stage and many business houses are eager to grab the companies being divested, especially the public sector oil companies, which have been making huge profits as a result of administered price structures. But the business houses who have evinced interest in these PSUs have dubious reputations. Some have defaulted on bank loans and corporate taxes, others have ferreted money away in foreign banks.
All loan-defaulting companies should be declared ineligible to take part in the bidding process. In fact, Arun Shourie might be given the responsibility to recover non-performing assets. After all, the money got from selling off PSUs is pocket change compared to the money that can be recovered this way. Only loss-making PSUs should be opened up for disinvestment and the money earned should be spent on voluntary retirement schemes for sick PSU employees and infrastructure development.
Yours faithfully, K.R. Kumar, Udupi
Sir The Orissa state government is doing nothing about the governments plans to disinvest a majority stake in the profit-making National Aluminium Corporation. This will harm Orissa, since Nalco is one of the major sources of revenue for the state. Besides, the company is in the expansion stage and thousands of persons who were assured of jobs would be deprived. Numerous ancillary industries thriving on Nalco would have to shut down after privatization. Naveen Patnaik, whose party supports the Centre, should take up the issue before it is too late.
Yours faithfully, R. Sekar, Angul
To make a point
Sir The editorial, Losing track (Sept 12), states that the inquiry following the accident of 2402 Down Shramjeevi Express found the cause to be human error. This is incorrect. A statutory inquiry held by G.P. Garg, commissioner of railway safety, Northern Circle, under the ministry of civil aviation, concluded that the accident was caused by tampering with track by unknown persons. The commissioner of railway safety has sent his preliminary report for the consideration of the Central government.
It is pointed out that the railways has a system of annual inspection of all railway bridges by engineers. The Dhawa bridge near Rafigunj under Eastern Railways Mughalsarai division was also inspected by an engineer on March 9, 2002. The engineer, during his inspection, had rated the condition of this bridge as sound. The restoration of the down line at Dhawa bridge near Rafigunj has been done on the same pier after thorough inspection, even after the accident. This only indicates that the condition of the pier on the bridge was very good and that there was no problem with the piers. They were good enough to take full load even after the impact of the disaster.
There is also a factual error in the editorial, which states that the Sealdah Express passed over the same stretch 20 minutes earlier. In fact, the 3151 Up Sealdah-Jammu-Tawi Express passed Rafigunj at 9.45 pm and the Rajdhani at 10.40 pm. In between, a goods train had passed at 9.57 pm.
It must also be mentioned that the inquiry into the Rajdhani accident will be done by an independent body the commissioner of railway safety, Eastern Circle, who is under the ministry of civil aviation.
Yours faithfully, S. Majumdar, chief public relations officer, Eastern Railway, Calcutta and D.P.S. Sandhu, chief PRO, Northern Railway, New Delhi

Chicago Hubbard five-star linebacker Chris Patterson has just returned from the University of Oklahoma, and Patterson talks about his verbal commitment to the Sooners that he made on Friday afternoon.
"I'm really happy that I'm heading to play for Oklahoma," said Patterson. "I really was set on Oklahoma early on, and I wanted my family to see the school for themselves before I committed.
"All along I wanted to get the recruiting stuff out of the way before the season started, because I didn't want to be bothered by all the attention during the season. I didn't want to deal with a lot of other coaches and schools when I knew where I wanted to go.
"I pretty much knew in my mind after the Oklahoma camp earlier this summer that OU was the place for me. I really enjoyed being around the program as well as the coaches, and I could see myself going to school and being a part of the football tradition in Norman. Everything just seemed right at Oklahoma, from the academic support to the coaches and the players to the football crazy people in that town. It was a very easy decision for me to make."
Patterson made the 12 hour one-way commute from the west side of Chicago to Norman, Okla., with his mother and a few close friends.
"It was really a trip for my mom, because I talked so much about Oklahoma and about how great it was at OU," he said. "My mom was able to see for herself where I wanted to go to school, and she agreed with what I was telling her. She said that Norman was just beautiful, and my whole family is behind me and my decision."
Patterson added that "from a recruiting standpoint, everything seemed right."
"OU has some great linebackers that will be graduating after this season, so from a depth chart standpoint," he said
"I feel that I can have a chance to contribute early. I also like the other kids that have already committed, including the top quarterback in Texas (Rhett Bomar) as well as a top running back from Oklahoma (D.J. Wolfe). I'm going to help Oklahoma in any way that I can to help bring in the best recruiting class in the nation."
So what has been the reaction to Chris Patterson giving a verbal to Oklahoma?
"My coach went to school in Oklahoma (Langston) so he knew a lot about Oklahoma football and he was a great source for information," he said. "I also talked to Akim (Millington) and Mo (Dampeer) and they both were very happy about their decisions."
So was Patterson considering any other school besides the Sooners?
"Naw," he said. "Once I saw Oklahoma up close, I was sold. Before I saw the campus I was thinking about a few other schools, but once I was there I knew that Oklahoma was where I belonged. I'm a solid commit for Oklahoma."
Now that his decision is complete, what will Patterson now focus on?
"I have some work to do in the classroom this year, but I'm not even worried about that, I know that I'm going to bust my butt and that I'm going to qualify," he said. "Now it's time for me to get ready for this upcoming season. I think we have a chance to make history at Hubbard this year, and we're going to be ready."

A Theoretical Model of On-the-Job Training with Imperfect Competition
Training for skills that are transferable to other firms, but for which the external labor market is imperfectly competitive, cannot be analyzed using the traditional tools of general and specific training. It is known that firms (as well as workers) have an incentive to invest in such training but that there is an externality problem that may lead to underinvestment. Using a formal model, it is shown that the problem is most severe at 'intermediate' levels of labor-market competition. The effects are that too few workers are trained and there is overinvestment in purely specific training. Copyright 1994 by Royal Economic Society.

I got some giant end of the season green beans from my CSA. So I oven fried them with a good bit of olive oil and ate them with a side of ranch dressing.
I mixed some Penzeys Buttermilk Ranch Dressing mix with some tofutti sour cream for the dip. Although the name says buttermilk, the mix ingredients are all vegan: salt, bell peppers, garlic, onion, sugar, black pepper, parsley, thyme, basil.

Following his spectacular crime film, A Most Violent Year, from back in 2014 – writer and director J.C. Chandor is currently prepping his latest cinematic endeavor, taking over for Zero Dark Thirty director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal at the helm of the long in-development project, Triple Frontier. For those of you wondering too, the title refers to the border zone around Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil, which is a well-known area for organized crime.
The film was originally set to reunite the Zero Dark Thirty collaborators, but Bigelow left after the studio told her she would have to cast Will Smith if she wanted an $80 million budget.
Now, Variety is reporting that Chandor has officially signed on for the film, and will be working off of Boal's script as well. The report also mentions that both Johnny Depp and Tom Hanks are currently in talks to co-star in the film together as well, which continues Chandor's trend of assembling some rather impressive casts in his films after having both Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain as his leads in A Most Violent Year, Robert Redford in All is Lost, and Kevin Spacey at the head of Margin Call.
After being one of the surprise omissions from this year's Golden Globes and Academy Awards, Depp's possible return to the crime genre is an interesting one, especially since some of his best performances have come out of that environment in films like Donnie Brasco and even Black Mass, which was overall bland, despite Depp's outstanding work as Whitey Bulger.
Meanwhile, Chandor has a very interesting style as a filmmaker, that probably means we'll get a much different Triple Frontier than the one Kathryn Bigelow would have directed, which could end up being a shame depending on if you're receptive to Chandor's past work or not. Who knows though? Maybe this could be Depp's next Oscar run? This time hopefully without all of that prostethic makeup.
Triple Frontier is currently in development.

Campus Update
We'd love to take a moment to brag about the amazing group of college students we have in the OC Church of Christ! Our Campus Ministry, known as Alpha Omega Campus Ministry on campus, is made up of students from schools in the Orange County area including UC Irvine, Cal State Fullerton, Irvine Valley College, Saddleback College, Fullerton College, and many more. These students meet together both on and off campus throughout the week, striving to be a ministry of young men and women who wholeheartedly follow God.
The last couple weeks has marked an incredible start to this Fall Semester! Our students have been evangelizing at these colleges and holding a number Bible Discussions and Bible studies in efforts to spread the gospel on their campus. God has been blessing their efforts as we've seen many friends, some new and some old, attending these events and studying the Bible. Some specific stories include our North JC Ministry seeing 40 friends out to one picnic at Fullerton College, kicking off a new series entitled "ANOMALY" last Friday night at Cal State Fullerton, and even seeing 3 students from Cal State Fullerton be baptized into Christ during the first week of school!
We believe God wants to do incredible, never before seen things on our campuses, and we ask for your prayers that God would provide a fruitful and inspirational school year for the OC Campus Ministry!
