Even if you don't like eggplant, you will love these burgers, which really don't taste like eggplant at all! Try them with Spicy Onion-Pepper Relish.
Leftovers give you two separate good feelings. When you first put them away, you feel really intelligent–"I'm saving food!" And then, after a month, when hair is growing out of them and you throw them away you feel…really intelligent–"I'm saving my life!"
–George Carlin
I often think of eggplants like George Carlin's leftovers. When you buy one, you feel really good for bringing home this healthy, shiny vegetable. Then you put it into your fridge and forget it for a week or so, and when you pull it out, it's all dull and sunken in places, and you feel…. Well, that's where the comparison ends because, if you're like me, you feel guilty that this once-beautiful food has gone to waste.
It used to happen to me more often than I want to admit until I hit upon a solution: If I haven't used the eggplant after two or three days, I cut it in two and roast it in my toaster oven. Eggplant will last longer once it's cooked, giving me time to figure out what new and adventurous recipe I want to create with it (though most of the time my cooking muse is silent and it becomes baba ganoush).
Baba will probably always be my favorite way to use roasted eggplant, but these veggie burgers and the pesto I posted earlier this summer tie for second place. Even if you don't like eggplant, you will love these burgers, which really don't taste like eggplant at all (ask E the Eggplant Hater, who enjoyed her burger even knowing it contained eggplant).
I used a new favorite ingredient to bind together the eggplant and lentils: Quinoa flakes are quinoa that has been steamed and flattened so that you can use it like oatmeal as a hot cereal. It cooks quickly and in this recipe doesn't have to be pre-cooked at all. (I know somebody is going to ask me, so let me say that I haven't tried making these with oatmeal, so I don't know if that will work or not. If you choose to experiment, I suggest using quick oatmeal, not the longer-cooking kind.)
I enjoyed the flavor of mild curry with the lentils and eggplant and, being the heat-lover that I am, spiced them up by serving them with a fiery relish made from onions and a jalapeno pepper from my garden. If you're not a curry lover, try changing the seasonings to suit your taste. I can imagine the ingredients going well with chipotle and chile powder or harissa and cumin. Have fun and be adventurous!
One note: Like most veggie burgers, these will fall apart if you try to cook them on a barbecue grill, but once they're baked, they hold together well and can be reheated on the grill, making them a perfect food to bring to a Labor Day picnic.
Curried Eggplant, Lentil, and Quinoa Burgers
- 1 large eggplant (see Notes below)
- 3/4 cup quinoa flakes (instant potatoes or oatmeal may work)
- 1/2 small onion , chopped fine
- 2 cloves garlic cloves , minced or pressed
- 1 cup cooked lentils
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika (spicy or mild)
- 2 teaspoons potato starch , cornstarch, or arrowroot
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon agave nectar (or other sweetener)
- Preheat oven to 425 F. Remove the top of the eggplant and cut it in half lengthwise. Place it cut-sides down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicon baking mat. Bake for 25 minutes or until the eggplant is completely sunken in and tender. Remove to a shallow dish and allow to cool completely. (You can do this even several days in advance and store in a covered container in the refrigerator.)
- Once the eggplant is cool, discard any liquid that has accumulated and scrape the flesh from the peel. Place the pulp in a food processor and pulse a few times to make a coarse puree. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix very well and allow to stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon baking mat. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Once it's hot, wipe or spray it with a little pan spray or canola oil. Wet your hands and form eggplant mixture into patties about 3 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. (You can also form the burgers by spooning the mixture into the pan and using the back of a spoon to shape it into patties.) Cook three or four at a time until lightly browned and then carefully flip over and brown the other side. Remove with a spatula and place each burger on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until burgers are cooked through.
- Serve with traditional hamburger condiments or with Spicy Onion-Pepper Relish.
Nutritional info is approximate.
Spicy Onion-Pepper Relish
- 1 medium onion , finely diced
- 1 hot pepper (I used red jalapeno), seeded and minced
- 1 teaspoon spicy smoked paprika (or 3/4 tsp. smoked paprika and 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- Combine all ingredients and allow to stand for 30 minutes for flavors to blend. For hotter relish, add extra cayenne pepper to taste.
Nutritional info is approximate.

I've now started work on the last chapter of Psychiatric Tales. Which is good. I've also decided that I'll have to go back and rework one of the earlier chapters, due to some factual confusion. Which is bad. However I will only have to redraw four pages of that chapter to correct it. So it's not as bad as it could have been.
Here's a panel from the last chapter.
It's all going smoothly, both the writing and the drawing. I'm very happy with all the publicity I've had. It's turning all this attention and good feeling into money that's the difficulty. I'm currently having to make ends meet by doing agency work two days a week. This means going up to a local care home for dementia sufferers and wiping bottoms for a living (work that keeps me grounded in reality if nothing else). If it wasn't for the fact that I'm staying at my parent's house I wouldn't be able to manage at all. I'd have to work full time and there'd be little chance of doing much in the way of cartooning.
A few noters in the past have offered money to help me finish the book. So for those who might have any spare change lying around, I'll give you the chance to donate to me via PayPal. Even small amounts of money will at least help me buy new ink cartridges and that sort of thing. I thank you in advance.

Remember when I made a fresh and spring-y panzanella and I told you about my sheer and ridiculous-silly love for the classic, summertime version? Well, I've got a warm weather one here for you with a couple of non-traditional (but incredibly delicious) elements like chopped kale, shaved shallots, peaches and my new fave: white balsamic vinegar. Yum-city for real. It's the salad you make when you wanna win friends. Or just when you wanna win. Period.
If you want to go full-stop classic on this dish, you can check out my no-fussin' version on Joanna Goddard's blog this week. I've been reading A Cup of Jo for as long as I've known that blogs actually exist I think, so when Shoko asked me to contribute a recipe for Joanna's "The best ________ you'll ever have" recipe series, I was pretty floored/so excited to expand even more on my love of panzanella. It's a two-for-one kind of deal today.
As a first-time addition here, my wonderful friend Joe (check out his website!) has made a really fun video and shot the pictures for this recipe too. We had a great time harvesting the goods, cooking it all up outdoors, enjoying a couple of cold beers and whatnot, so I hope you get the sense of that when you watch. My friends TK and Lesley made an ORIGINAL SONG for it too! Guh, heart is super full just thinking about that. You can listen to it again and again on the Make Haste Soundcloud page right here. So grateful to have such talented and kind friends, seriously. Luckiest gal. When a community of generous creatives comes together, it is the best thing. Super smiles. In addition to that, they produce some pretty stellar individual/other work. You can check out Lesley's talent on the Bad Passion homepage (also featured on Turntable Kitchen's April 2012 mix!). TK's work can be found here: Stone Orchard and on his Bandcamp page.
Happy summer to you all. Make some panzanella and soak up that beautiful sun :)
summer panzanella with peaches, tomatoes and kale
serves: 6
notes: I opt for white balsamic vinegar because it doesn't impart a dark colour onto the bread. Feel free to use the darker, regular balsamic vinegar if that's what you have though. The flavour is quite similar.
4-5 cups tore up pieces of bread
2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
1 big shallot, peeled and thinly sliced
4-5 cups chopped tomatoes
2 peaches, pitted and roughly chopped
2 stalks of kale, stemmed and sliced
2 big sprigs of basil, leaves finely sliced (reserve some whole leaves for garnish if you like)
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the tore up bread on a large, parchment lined baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat bread evenly in the oil. Bake for 15 minutes, flipping croutons at the halfway point to promote even browning. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Place the chopped tomatoes, peaches, kale and basil in a large bowl. Drizzle the oil and white balsamic vinegar on top and season the mixture with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Add the cooled croutons and toss once more.
Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes or so so that the bread can soak up the juiciness from all the veggies and fruit. Serve with a big sprig of basil on top if you like.

Congregation B'nai Israel
Congregation B'nai Israel, a Jewish community identified with the Conservative movement located in suburban Millburn, New Jersey, commissioned the architect Percival Goodman to design a new synagogue in 1948. The program called for a one story building with a small basement. The major requirement for the building was an expandable prayer hall to accommodate different numbers of people. Also required was a lobby and walled garden, as well as a school wing containing a small chapel and library. Excluding land, landscaping, and furnishings, the project cost was $150,000. The cost per square foot was $14.40.
Sited on Millburn Avenue near Ridgewood Road in Essex Country, New Jersey, the original Congregation B'nai Israel is a simple low square building rising one story, dominantly constructed from warm tan brick. The original building read from the street as two masses, with a taller and more detailed mass projecting forward from the west side of the facade. The projecting mass houses the sanctuary, the main prayer space within the building. Receding from that protruded mass, and moving eastward on the facade, is a simple entrance. Next to this a brick screen wall concealing a garden with interior space in the rear. The projecting sanctuary contains the focal point of the facade, an 8' x 12' sculptural representation of the burning bush, by the abstract expressionist artist Herbert Ferber, made from lead-coated copper and mounted on a wedge-shaped panel of natural cypress which projects from the center of the building and extends beyond the roof line. On the interior, this protruding wooden box contains the ark, where the Torah scrolls are kept inside the sanctuary. The ark is both spiritually and functionally the focal point of the congregation, so its bold expression on the building's exterior is appropriate. On either side of the central cypress panel is a large square window in which multiple mullions are arranged to create an abstract, asymmetrical Mondrian-like pattern. On one side the mullions form a Star of David. The opposite side contains horizontal boards inscribed with, "Love thy neighbor as thyself," in both Hebrew and English. The windows are treated not as voids but as translucent walls, and are glazed with blue-green frosted glass. One panel in the glass wall opposite the Star of David is transparent, revealing the tips of a seven-branched menorah inside the sanctuary. The section of the facade comprising the entrance is completely transparent, with windows arranged in a linear fashion around the glass doors. Upon entering the lobby in the center of the building, Robert Motherwell's large mural, Wall of the Temple, enhances the area with its heavily abstracted Jewish symbolism and bright use of color. From the lobby, to the right is a walled garden, expressed through the brick screen on the exterior of the building, which can be used as a lobby extension, to hold outdoor weddings, and as a site on which to construct the Sukkah, a temporary structure built on the harvest holiday of Sukkot. Straight ahead toward the rear of the building are offices, classrooms, and kitchen, while to the left one can enter both the sanctuary and the social hall, which are arranged on vertical axis with each other. This was an innovation in Goodman's design, which allowed for easy expansion of the seating area in the prayer hall. The room contains 200 permanent seats to suit regular services, but can be extended to include all or part of the social hall by sliding one or two sets of partitions, creating seating for either 350 or 700 people depending on the occasion or holiday. The sanctuary itself is a simple space with exposed brick walls and permanent wooden pews facing the front wall of the temple, in front of which sits the raised bimah, or prayer platform. The translucent wall allows light to enter the room while maintaining privacy and a separation from the distractions of the outside world. The Star of David constructed from window mullions is visible, balanced by the seven-branched menorah on the other side of the bimah. The central focus in the room is the ark in which the Torah scrolls are stored. The projecting cypress panel is continued in the interior and creates a cavity for storage. Covering the cavity is a quilted curtain, designed by the painter Adolph Gottlieb in rich velvets with symbolic appliques and sewn by the women in the congregation.
Built in a suburban neighborhood, the context of the building has grown denser over time. Alterations to the building have most affected the original structure's immediate physical context. Once a small building on a large lot, with a walled garden and a natural approach to the street, the garden was filled in as part of an addition, the main mode of entry has shifted to the rear of the building where the parking lot is located, and a two-story school wing extends from the eastern part of the building. Notably, the sanctuary wing has not been significantly altered.
The one-story building was built with materials chosen for minimum maintenance. It uses tan, Norman size face brick in cavity wall construction. The interior walls use either the same face brick or colored concrete block depending on the location. The floors are concrete slabs with two inches of insulating concrete below. The concrete slab contains radiant heating pipes. The floor finish is bluestone in the lobby, cork in the sanctuary and chapel, ceramic tile in bathrooms, and asphalt tile elsewhere. Exterior woodwork is natural finished cedar while interior woodwork is natural finished red birch. The roof of the main hall is composed of steel girders supported on steel columns. Other roofs are wood rafters supported on masonry walls. The roofing itself is slag and glass wool batts act as insulation. The interior ceiling finish is wire lath and either white or acoustic plaster. Steel windows are used in most of the building, though the main facade of the sanctuary uses blue heat-resistant windows traditionally used in industrial settings.
Begun in 1924, by 1948 the 118 families that made up Congregation B'nai Israel had outgrown their current building. The rabbi at the time, Max Gruenwald, hired Percival Goodman, giving him free artistic rein over the design. The close-knit community, open-minded rabbi, and small size of the structure made this an ideal commission for Goodman, who had recently addressed the question of appropriate style for synagogues in writing, but who had not yet designed one. The small size of the building brought these artistic matters to a manageable scale, and the proximity to New York City and its cosmopolitan influences enhanced the community's readiness to embrace something truly new. Goodman's decision to incorporate modern art into the synagogue was integral to the design of the building, and constituted a significant aspect of the architect's search for a modern language for synagogue construction.
Although the building represents one of Goodman's earliest synagogue commissions and his use of modern architectural language and integration with modern art differentiated it both from previous and contemporary synagogue architecture, Congregation B'nai Israel is emblematic of the greater post-war Jewish experience. The booming postwar economy and broad migration from urban areas to the suburbs necessitated new synagogue construction in areas like Millburn. As families moved away from urban enclaves that could support a local synagogue, new suburban developments were more isolated and contained a mix of religious affiliations. In this new environment, synagogues were pushed to include classrooms, social halls, and recreational facilities in order to foster close communities like those that naturally occurred in urban immigrant areas.
In June 1947 Percival Goodman became involved with a symposium sponsored by the Union of American Hebrew Congregations titled, "An American Synagogue for Today and Tomorrow." A series of articles by Goodman after the conference established Goodman as an authority on synagogue architecture, despite never having designed one. Subsequent articles and lectures led directly to three synagogue commissions, including Congregation B'nai Israel in Millburn.
Despite Percival Goodman's Jewish heritage, he had little Jewish education, and his early architectural practice focused mainly on commercial and residential design. In 1947, Goodman and his brother Paul published Comunitas, a social and architectural manifesto expressing how community could be conveyed through architectural language. The events of the Holocaust awakened a Jewish connection for Goodman, and his radical social thought combined with this interest, leading him to synagogue design. In an article published in Commentary magazine in January 1949, Goodman described the impact of the Holocaust on Jewish communities, "…among Jews it seems to have had the following effect: they became aware of themselves as a physical community, a congregation. We mean in the barest physical sense… the reaction has been the sense of the co-presence of a certain identity and certain rudiments of a tradition, what we are calling the sense of being a physical congregation… The chief effects of this congregational sentiment have been twofold: an increase in Jewish social work, philanthropy, and community centers… and secondly, an entirely new impetus in synagogue building." The Congregation B'nai Israel commission was the ideal place for Goodman to design an innovative modern building that reflected his new strongly-felt Jewish heritage, integrating his ideas about community with his vision of Judaism into one project.
Percival Goodman was one of a group of architects trying to develop a new, modern typology for the design of post-war synagogues. A major aspect of this challenge was how to integrate what Goodman saw as the three main functions of a synagogue complex—the liturgical, the educational, and the social. Goodman wrote that Judaism, unlike Christianity, is horizontal. "All is holy, the temple, the home, the mountain, and the valley. The Christian concept is vertical: from a point of the ground, man aspires to God. So all is profane except this aspiration. Our faith makes it possible for me to design the social parts, the educational parts and the worship hall as a unity for all out activities shall be a hymn in His praise." As one of Goodman's earliest synagogues, the arrangement of parts at B'nai Israel strongly reflects this model. An additional design challenge was how to deal with the discrepancy in prayer attendance between the number of members at a weekly service and the large number of members who only attend on major holidays. To address this, Goodman placed the social hall, a space for community functions, directly behind the sanctuary, dividing the rooms with a set of movable partitions. The partitions would remain closed, except when additional seating was required. This strategy, first used by Goodman at B'nai Israel, became the dominant typology for post-war synagogues and remains a defining feature of synagogue design. Percival Goodman argued that there was no strong tradition of synagogue design and decoration. In this absence of plastic tradition, Goodman believed the only way to avoid previous historicist styles was to use the new language of modern architecture and adapt it to create a meaningful religious and community space. As one of Goodman's first synagogues, B'nai Israel employs many tropes of modernism, including the low, flat relatively unornamented facades that express a sense of horizontality, the interplay of rectilinear volumes, and the contrasting of simple materials on the exterior. The abstract designs created through the slightly industrial looking window mullions further situate the building squarely within the modern movement. The full integration of modern art not only differentiates the building from previous and contemporary synagogue design, but also clearly identifies the building as a product of its time. The building and especially its art, was widely praised upon its completion.
Congregation B'nai Israel was highly commended for its modern design as soon as it was completed. Architectural Forum praised the building as "an impressive demonstration of allied art and architecture." Before the three main artworks were installed, they were exhibited at the Kootz Gallery in New York City, illustrating the anticipation and innovation of the inclusion of these works of art. Percival Goodman was part of a group of prominent architects who were interested in modern synagogue during the immediate post-War period. Architects like Eric Mendelsohn, Philip Johnson, and Frank Lloyd Wright also designed synagogues in the modern idiom, but Goodman's B'nai Israel was pioneering in its adaptation of industrial materials to create an evocative religious structure, and its integration of art as an essential element. Goodman went on to design more than fifty synagogues across the United States, surpassing in quantity his greatest contemporary Eric Mendelsohn. Although Goodman remains a less well-known figure of the modern movement, his contribution to synagogue architecture, demonstrated by his restrained yet powerful application of the modern style to the B'nai Israel building, place Congregation B'nai Israel, and Goodman himself, securely within the canon of modern architecture.
Goodman's design for B'nai Israel represents an innovative combination of modern art and modern architecture to build a powerful religious experience for visitors to the congregation. Although it is recognized locally as an important building, beloved by its community, it has been subject to additions that moderately disrupt its architectural integrity. In spite of these additions, key aspects of the building are in tact, such as the main facade and sanctuary space. As well as representing an important aspect of the modern movement, the building encapsulates the suburban postwar Jewish experience. Preservation protection for the building is currently nonexistent, which must change so the buildings simultaneously an important landmark of the modern movement and a functioning as it was intended, as a busy synagogue for a growing community.

College Board apologizes over 'racially insensitive' T-shirt
The College Board apologized for a "culturally and racially insensitive" T-shirt and some comments made at its Advanced Placement World History exam grading event last month.
On the front of the shirt are caricatures of Chinese politicians with the words, "Chinese Communist PARTY!!!" On the back is an image of Mao Zedong and text in what critics of the T-shirt call a "chop suey font."
"It hearkens to this history of racist imagery," said Hannah Kim, an assistant professor of history at the University of Delaware and one of the AP exam readers, in an interview with USA TODAY Network.
Kim was one of more than 1,000 college professors and high school teachers who gathered in Salt Lake City in mid-June for a week-long event to read and grade AP World History exams. It's common to have commemorative T-shirts at these grading events, and often these T-shirts are "innocuous," Kim said.
The World History T-shirt theme was prompted by one of this year's exam essay questions about Chinese peasants' relationship with the Chinese government during the Cultural Revolution, she said.
"If the exam question had been on something about the Holocaust or slave trade, you wouldn't have a T-shirt with that image in a comical way," Kim said.
The College Board and the Educational Testing Service, the organizations involved in administering and grading the exams, issued a statement online saying, "We are outraged by these intolerable findings and are dedicated to preventing any such activities in the future."
The statement said, "It is unacceptable that one of the AP exam readers created a T-shirt that mocked historical events that were the cause of great pain and suffering, and promulgated racist stereotypes that further marginalize a racial minority."
Kim said she and others had complained to test officials about the T-shirt when an image of the back of the shirt was previewed during the first day of the event.
When the T-shirts were distributed on the last day of grading, Kim said, she was "livid."
"I couldn't believe the poor, poor judgment of ETS in allowing this to go forward," she said.
The College Board and ETS apologized for comments made at the event.
AP exam reader Jennifer Fang, a University of Delaware graduate student, said the chief reader made a reference to the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989 during his presentation.
In explaining how exam readers should follow the standards when grading, he showed the iconic photo of a man standing in front of a tank in Tiananmen Square and said, "You don't want to be that guy," Fang recalled.
The chief reader then changed the slide to show the same image with rubber ducks replacing the tanks, Fang said.
The College Board and ETS said they would discipline anyone responsible but declined to provide additional information to USA TODAY Network.
The blog Angry Asian Man described the incident as "the nerd educator's version of a racist-theme frat party."
"Nothing like racial and cultural mockery and some good ol' orientalist fonts to commemorate a week of educational testing. Was any of this really necessary?" according to Angry Asian Man.
Another blog, Racism Review, said the event became "something of a playground for deeply rooted anti-Asian racism thinly veiled as 'light-hearted' humor."
Jeopardy! champion Arthur Chu tweeted about the incident, saying, "We're not just talking racist caricatures but also being flip about a major historical tragedy." He started the hashtag #APRacism.

Name Game: Happy Fall!
He likes you!
Squirr! You are so good at expressions :3 Jack looks great.
That's a... very compromising position podipuss is in there...
I didn't think you liked octopuses THAT much.
Sad face with the upcoming strip news. Good luck with everything, though!
Also, isn't Jack the one who saved Podipuss in the first place?
It's a happy springtime for me :D
What is this 'fall' you speak of?
I think you mean autumn.
Ooooo tentacles!
By the way My screen froze for a moment on the dialogue at the top of the image. Needless to say a was a little disappointed when I saw the rest and realized who she was talking to, or that it was her talking.
It can be referred to as either here in America.
OT: Happy Fall indeed! Finally, the blistering heat is dying down, and it's time to get out my coat. Pretty soon it'll be my birthday, and Halloween!
I can hardly wait for the first blanket of snow...
No one knows what it's like to be a pink a squid
Good grief, Alix has NEVER been cuter. I mean....most manga/anime girls I've seen aren't that cute.
Cute piece. I watched the motion capture on your concept art. Fun to see how other artists work. Alix looks like she may be about to fall off that wall, though. In ways it reminds me a bit of this image's awkward pose. Was that intentional?
Good luck with your endeavours, we won't mind if the comics are a little left out!
That is not a place I would want an octopus no matter how much it liked me or how awesome it may be.
I read the title as "Happy Fail"
I contend it may be more accurate.
How long has he been out of the water?
...don't cephalopods need water?
Don't... Just, please, don't.
OT: I love the autumn season. With all it's colours and the rain. That may sound weird to some, but i actually enjoy rainy weather more than sunny. Just feels more pure.
Happy fall
THEY'RE DRINKING TIMMYS! lol. maybe I dunno.
I just know some asshole is going to butcher this. A lovely picture, and happy spring to everyone!
Bwhaha, get away from me summer! Fall is here :D
How does it keep itself alive, when hes out of the water? Yeah its a he.
Nah Timmies doesn't have that kind of lid, nor the heat protectors
Your artwork is awesome no matter its form. If all we get is sketches for a while, that is awesome with me.
Proving once again that it doesn't matter what your characters do, the octopus will always warm our hearts.
Your right...Also Tims cups are brown...Maybe second Cup?
I haven't seen enough hentai to know where this is going.
I bet he gives good squid jobs.
If you want to be really pedantic it's currently Spring in the Southern hemisphere.
I think this inspired the dream I had last night. An octopus crawled up onto my legs and I couldn't get it off.

The environmental sensitivity, safety culture and proactive health emphasis present at the Y-12 National Security Complex today has evolved over time. It can be seen in the requirements placed on the supervision, the workers, and the organizations as this evolution took place. The funding devoted to these areas has also evolved. The key element has been the responsiveness of all the people who work at Y-12.
The environmental sensitivity, safety culture and proactive health emphasis present at the Y-12 National Security Complex today has evolved over time. It can be seen in the requirements placed on the supervision, the workers, and the organizations as this evolution took place. The funding devoted to these areas has also evolved. The key element has been the responsiveness of all the people who work at Y-12.
Over the years, Y-12 has been managed by a number of contractors ranging from the Tennessee Eastman Co. (January 1943 to May 1947), to the Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Co. that became the Union Carbide Nuclear Division (May 1947 to March 1984), to Martin Marietta Energy Systems, which became Lockheed Martin Energy Systems (April 1984 to October 2000), to BWXT Y-12, which became B&W Y-12 (November 2000 to June 2014), to Consolidated Nuclear Security (July 2014 - ). Each of these contractors has added to the composite history of the environment, safety and health culture that now exists at Y-12.
In the early years of Tennessee Eastman Co.'s management, there was a strong emphasis on the line supervisor as the person responsible for the safety of operations. There was not a formal environmental focus at that time. The situation whereby the workers were not informed of what they were working on contributed to increased supervisory responsibility and kept the workers from being knowledgeable enough of the processes to determine safe actions. So, significant emphasis was placed on the workers to do only what they were instructed how to do and to do their work in very specific ways.
This approach has changed drastically over the years, as the ability to place more and more technical and detailed analysis information at the worker's hands took place so they can more fully understand and appreciate the need for safe handling of the materials needed to do their work. A look back at our history confirms that has not always been the case.
During the history of Y-12, there have been 24 fatalities. Seventeen fatalities were in the 1940s during the Manhattan Project and were the result of the construction of the site. There have been other serious accidents at Y-12 over the years and each of them have brought resulting improvements in safety as each of them have been thoroughly investigated and lessons learned used to avoid future incidents.
One of the key aims of all safety efforts is to avoid or prevent accidents. The rule being that an accident that does not happen because of preventive actions cannot cause serious injury or death. It is the aim of Y-12 to drive accidents to zero and safety to the top of all considerations.
When the Tennessee Eastman Co. was chosen in January 1943 by Gen. Leslie R. Groves to manage the Y-12 electromagnetic separation plant, it was because the company had proven experience in managing complex systems and had a reputation for having strong and powerful leadership. Safety was a part of that strong leadership.
In June 1942, Tennessee Eastman Company was first chosen to manufacture the powerful explosive "RDX," cyclotrimethylenetirnitramine, an explosive more powerful than dynamite or TNT. The result was the Holston Ordnance Works at Kingsport, along the Holston River. Again, safety was a major consideration in this hazardous work.
One of the unique managerial tools used by Fred Conklin, Works Manager for Y-12, was the Kodak Period reporting system. The year was broken into 13 equal periods and detailed reports were prepared by each operational unit and rolled up to Conklin. These reports give insight into what was actually happening on the working floor. Accidents were always reported and safety was emphasized as being among the most important duties for both management and workers.
A significant accident occurred at Y-12 on May 14, 1956, when zirconium powder exploded and two men died. A third man was severely injured, having his arm blown 85 feet from the blast. This incident first came to my attention when the supervisor of the two fatalities was himself near death and asked his son, my friend, to write the details of the accident to help warn others of the danger from the buried zirconium.
Another accident, and likely the most significant incident in Y-12's history, was the June 16, 1958 nuclear criticality accident in Building 9212, C-1 wing. Eight individuals were exposed to radiation. They quickly evacuated the area, limiting their exposure.
However, they were hospitalized for 44 days and struggled with radiation-related health issues for several months. There were no fatalities and all eight people returned to work.
There was extensive review and many revisions to operating practices as a result of this accident. Within a year of the 1958 Y-12 event, there were criticality accidents at Los Alamos, N.M., and Idaho nuclear facilities. Improvements in nuclear criticality safety resulted in all cases.
Next we will look at more recent history of Y-12's Environment, Safety and Health.

Judge finds treatment of California's mentally ill inmates 'horrific'
Following weeks of graphic court testimony and chilling videos of inmates writhing in pain as they were blasted with pepper spray, a federal judge has found that the use of force against mentally ill inmates in California prisons is unconstitutionally harsh.
Citing the "horrific" videos he viewed during hearings last fall and a wealth of other evidence, U.S. District Judge Lawrence K. Karlton on Thursday ordered state officials to continue revising the use-of-force procedures deployed against the state's 33,000 mentally ill prisoners and to limit the use of solitary confinement as a means of disciplining such inmates.
The 74-page order cites the "overall significant progress" that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has made in modifying its use-of-force policies, especially new limits on how and when pepper spray can be used against mentally ill inmates.
But, with such inmates constituting more than 28 percent of the roughly 120,000 prisoners in state facilities, Karlton said further improvement is needed. The judge said he found unacceptable the treatment reflected in six videos played in open court of inmates screaming in agony as guards pepper-sprayed them for infractions such as refusing to come out of their cells.
"Most of the videos were horrific," wrote Karlton, who was visibly anguished as he watched them from the bench during court hearings last fall.
Attorneys for the inmates had filed motions last year contending the state's use of force against inmates with mental health problems was excessive and cruel. The lead attorney for the inmates, Michael Bien, said Thursday that the evidence presented during the hearings forced the state to begin changing its policies midway through the proceedings.
"It is a solid, well-thought-out order that should go far in remedying the problems exposed during the hearings," Bien said. "Even while they were still going on, the state started to make changes that it had before refused to consider. It is our hope that, rather than fighting this order, the state will work with us in implementing it."
Corrections spokeswoman Deborah Hoffman said officials were reviewing Karlton's order Thursday night and would have no immediate comment.
The videos presented during the hearings were filmed by prison staffers, as required by department policy when guards prepare to use force against an inmate. The inmate attorneys had planned to show 17 of the videos before Karlton said he had seen enough and ordered a stop after six were played.
Those six showed teams of guards in protective clothing using pepper spray and physical force to extract inmates from their cells after they refused to obey orders. In some cases, the prisoners were forcibly removed because they had refused to take medication. One showed a canister the size of a fire extinguisher being emptied into a cell before the wailing inmate was wrestled out.
The inmate attorneys were seeking a ban on the use of pepper spray, batons and solitary confinement against their clients, and the state initially fought back, saying its policies were appropriate and that the use of force displayed in the videos was not excessive.
As the hearings continued, however, the state revised its position and conceded by late October that some changes in protocol were needed. Michael Stainer, director of CDCR's Division of Adult Institutions, testified that the videos could be described as "at best, controlled chaos."
Stainer's concession came after the videos had been played before hushed and sometimes tearful spectators in court. It also followed the Sept. 6 death of Joseph Duran, a mentally ill inmate who breathed through a tube in his throat and died after being pepper-sprayed for refusing to let go of the food port in his cell door, according to an internal review of his death carried out by corrections officials.
Duran's death was not initially part of the court proceeding before Karlton. Inmate attorneys contend that is because they did not learn about the circumstances of his death until The Sacramento Bee contacted them about the incident.
Staff interviews contained in the internal corrections report, obtained by The Bee, revealed Duran yanked out his breathing tube after being doused with pepper spray inside his cell. According to the report, guards refused to remove Duran and decontaminate him despite orders from prison medical staff. He was found dead in his cell at Ione's Mule Creek State Prison seven hours later. Even Duran's parents did not know he had died until they were contacted by The Bee, which published a story on the death in January.
Judge Karlton subsequently reopened the hearing to receive evidence about Duran's case. The incident is now under investigation by CDCR officials.
The state has since revised its policies so that guards no longer may use force simply because an inmate refuses to relinquish control of a food port, and Bien said he believed Duran's death played a large role in Karlton's order Thursday.
"The avoidable and preventable death of a mentally ill inmate, with a tracheotomy which restricted his breathing, housed in a licensed mental health unit, after being pepper-sprayed for the 'offense' of not releasing his food port, was one important incident in the evidence considered by Judge Karlton leading to today's ruling," Bien said.
"He specifically noted that defendants had, since the conclusion of the trial, changed their pepper-spray policy to stop the use of pepper spray on an emergency basis based solely on an open food port. He also found that custody must not be permitted to override a medical decision that a prisoner is at risk or needs medical care."
Duran's father, Steven Duran, said in a recent email that he was grateful the policy had been changed. "Joey's death was not in vain," he wrote. He and Duran's mother, Elaine, have filed a wrongful-death claim against the state over their son's death.
The state also has revised the manner in which pepper spray can be deployed, ordering that after an application of spray staffers must wait at least three minutes before applying another blast. The videos showed guards spraying inmates repeatedly and using massive pepper-spray grenades to force them from their cells.
Karlton found that, even with the revisions, more must be done, and ordered prison officials to return to him in 60 days with additional changes to the use of force policies. He also ordered that within 30 days a plan be filed "to limit or eliminate altogether" the practice of placing mentally ill inmates in administrative segregation units if they pose problems that stem from their illness rather than willful infractions.
"You can't use force, harsh confinement and disciplinary measures without dealing with the fact our clients are seriously mentally ill," Bien said. "The state still does not do that."

If you've ever been walking or driving in New Orleans on a Saturday near the end of summer, you may have spotted an odd sight: a group of men and women all dolled up in red dresses, strutting their stuff down a French Quarter street like Rampart or Bourbon. You may have shrugged it off as one of those "only-in-New Orleans-type things," and you wouldn't be wrong. But then you see another gaggle of red dresses on men and women alike. And then another. And soon you realize that something must be going on today or the city's denizens are losing their minds.
It is something going on—it's the Red Dress Run.
Held this year on August 10th from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the Red Dress Run is "the biggest little Red Dress event in the world." The premise is simple: don yourself with your best red dress—man or woman—and join the throng of other red dressers in the French Quarter. If you want to actually participate in the race aspect of the event, register ahead of time, and enjoy even more Red Dress Run fun as you attend the after-party in Armstrong Park on N. Rampart, complete with food and music from Cowboy Mouth and Dash Rip Rock. But many people do not register for the race, and they are the ones you will see cramming the streets after the actual race is over for the rest of the day.
In terms of what you'll see—as either a participant or an innocent bystander—men and women of all ages will be wearing every fashion of red dress you can imagine. From halter tops and one-shoulder dresses to full length ball gowns and strapless cocktail dresses, everyone will dress to impress at this unique event. You'll never see so much chest hair and tattoos coming out of red dresses anywhere else in your life.
The best part of the event is that it supports a wealth of charities in the area. Registration for the race goes straight to local charities. Last year, more than 50 groups received Red Dress donations, and over the last three years, the race has donated more than $500,000.
Registration for the event is $67.45 through August 5th for standard participants or $88.05 for hashers through August 7th. Hashers are part of a special noncompetitive running group and social club who meet up regularly for hashes or hash runs and call themselves either hashers or hares and hounds.

In a potential playoff preview, the seemingly playoff bound Knicks face off at MSG against the sliding Miami Heat. Headed into the game, New York has won 4 of their past 5 games, while Miami has lost 3 of their last 5. Led by Carmelo Anthony, the Knicks are 13-4 since the firing/resigning of Mike D'Antoni. Both teams are coming off blowout victories over bad teams. This one should be fun.
This post will be longer than most pre-game posts, but its Knicks-Heat. It's a huge game and a potential playoff preview. It should be fun.
Here's what to watch for:
- The Knicks have to shoot the ball well. New York is one of the worst 3 point shooting teams in the league, but they do have the potential to get hot. On the season, the Knicks have shot just 31.9% from downtown. Over the past 10 games, the Knicks have shot 35.6% from downtown. In those 10 games, the Knicks are 7-3. When the Knicks shoot the ball well, they are a far better offensive team. With Steve Novak and JR Smith throwing up three's, the Knicks offense can be very hit and miss. Tomorrow, I think the Heat are going to focus on stopping Melo and even on defending the paint from Tyson Chandler and his 67% field goal percentage. The Miami defense will force the Knicks to shoot a lot of threes. If New York shoots 5/30 from three, we are going to be in for a long afternoon.
- Will Shumpert play? If the Knicks are without their dynamic defender, they're going to be in trouble. Shumpert's performance in this game will be monumental, as he likely will be assigned to defend Dwayne Wade. I also think we'll see moments where Shumpert is guarding LeBron James. I'd rather see Shumpert on Wade, as I think LeBron is too tall and too big for Shumpert. I think James will give Shumpert problems, but I think Shumpert is well equipped with his length and athleticism to check Wade. If Shumpert cannot play, the Knicks will have to roll with more Landry Fields, with some possible Toney Douglas sprinkled in here and there. Yikes.
- How will Miami defend the Knicks? The Knicks are likely going to come out with their small ball lineup (assuming Shumpert is good to go and healthy). It will be interesting to see how Miami adjusts to this. Personally, if I were the Heat, I wouldn't change a thing. I think Miami is good enough defensively to play straight up (Chalmers-Wade-James-Bosh-Anthony/Turiaf) against the Knicks small ball lineup. If I were the Heat, I would make the Knicks adjust to how I play. I would keep Joel Anthony on the floor to defend Chandler and I would put Bosh on Landry Fields. I would defend Melo with LeBron, and defend the guard spots accordingly. I'm not sure the Heat will do this though. I think the Heat will use Shane Battier often in this game, given his ability to defend multiple positions. I think the Heat centers, Joel Anthony and Ronny Turiaf, will see more limited minutes than usual. I think Miami will use Bosh at center for good parts of the game, especially given how he dominated Tyson Chandler offensively in these teams last meeting.
- Here is a statistical analysis of the small ball Knicks lineup.
- Thanks to NBA.com for this graphic. Obviously, these statistics are over a short period of time, 10 games, but I think they are good to analyze in order to see the effectiveness of the Knicks small ball lineup. As we can see from the stats cube here, the Knicks are incredibly good with this lineup on the floor. Their defensive rating is about 8 points higher than the overall team average throughout the season, while the defensive rating checks in at 85.3, a whooping 12.2 points lower than the normal rating of 97.5. To put that in perspective, the Bulls lineup of Rose, Brewer, Deng, Boozer and Noah checks in at a 92.9 defensive rating. Obviously the Knicks numbers are a bit skewed due to the small sample size (10 games to the Bulls' 22 games), but the point is that they are fantastic defensively as a unit. Not only is the Knick defense better with this small lineup on the floor, but the offense is far better as well. Their 108.1 offensive rating is far higher than the team average of 100.5. As we can see from the stats cube, the Knicks not only dish more assists with this lineup, but they shoot far better and rebound far better than on average. Lets start with the field goal percentage. I think a lot of this has to do with the fact that the Knick defense is improved. Given the fact that they are defending and rebounding at a higher rate, the Knicks are doing a great job of turning defense into offense. Landry Fields in particular comes to mind when I think of Knicks benefiting from transition offense. Fields has averaged 9.8 ppg on 45% shooting in April. In addition, Carmelo Anthony being the main scorer with this lineup is a big reason why this unit's FG% is up at 50.6%. Given Anthony's 29.3% usage rate, the ball is being put into his hands. He's shooting the ball over 50% in the month of April, so therefore this unit is going to shoot better. The ball is also moving more efficiently as the Knicks are assisting the ball better with this lineup. A lot of that has to do with the spacing the Knicks create with the smaller lineup. The stat that I was most surprised to see, was that the Knicks rebound at a rate of 56% with this team on the floor. A lot of this has to do with Tyson Chandler and his phenomenal rebounding, but also with the strong rebounding of Carmelo Anthony and Landry Fields.
- So how does this relate to the game tomorrow against Miami? I really like the way that this lineup forces its opponents to adjust their lineups accordingly. Anthony causes havoc at the 4 and garners a mismatch almost every possession. If Anthony himself does not have a mismatch, somebody else on the offense usually does. I think the Knicks can do some interesting things defensively with this team on the floor against the Heat. I think New York has the potential to trap the Heat offense more effectively, due to the fact that you have 3 above average defenders with solid quickness and lateral movement in Anthony, Fields and Shumpert. I think the fact that Chandler is manning the paint gives the Knicks perimeter defenders more opportunities to gamble and take opportunities. Chandler proved in last season's NBA Finals that he's not intimidated of James or Wades abilities to get to the rim and finish. I think the Knick perimeter defenders should be the attackers tomorrow, rather than sitting back and waiting on defense. As great as James and Wade are, the Heat are a middle of the road team in turnovers, ranking 19th in the league with a turnover ratio of 14.22. I think as much as the Knicks must focus on not turning it over, which I will talk about a bit later, they should be focused on attacking Miami's offense and grabbing turnovers themselves. I think the Knicks also have a chance to control the glass in this game. With this lineup, the Knicks are rebounding at a great rate of 56%. Miami is a middle of the road rebounding team. With Anthony's offensive rebounding abilities and the overall great rebounding abilities of Chandler, I think the Knicks can dominate the glass in this game. If they can get 10-15 offensive rebounds, they have a good shot to win.
- The Knicks CANNOT turn the ball over. It's pretty simple. The Knicks turn the ball over a lot and Miami's good at forcing turnovers. The Heat are the best transition offense in the league, given the fact that they have probably the two best transition players in the league in James and Wade. If the Knicks want to win, they have to keep the turnovers under 15 and when they turn the ball over, they MUST get back on defense. I think the Knicks can hang with Miami in the half-court both offensively and defensively, but the Knicks will get themselves in trouble if they give Miami opportunity to run. Baron can't be playing like a Globetrotter and throwing turnovers all over the place. He's got to be under control or else the Knicks are screwed.
- Tyson must stop Chris Bosh tomorrow. In the last Knicks-Heat matchup, Tyson Chandler was assigned to guard Chris Bosh defensively. Chandler struggled mightily as Bosh scored 25 points on 11/17 shooting. That cannot happen tomorrow (or this morning, I guess). I've always believed that Bosh is the third most important offensive player on the Heat team, behind James and Wade. When he gets cooking offensively, they're impossible to stop, given the fact that Wade and James are usually cooking offensively. You can overcome Wade and James scoring about 50 points combined, but if you let Bosh get in on that party, you're screwed. In the Knicks last game, James and Wade scored 47 while Bosh scored 25. The Knicks inability to stop Bosh really was the killer in that game. The big 2 will get theirs, but the Knicks must stop Bosh from getting his.
- The biggest matchup of the game is Carmelo Anthony versus LeBron James. It's obvious, this is the true primetime matchup in the game tomorrow. In order for the Knicks to win, Anthony has to step up and play well against his friend and rival in James. He's done it before. Here are the cumulative stats, as well as the win-loss record in their 14 match-ups:
- Anthony has always played very well against James. Look no further than New York's victory over the Heat last season, when Melo scored 29 points and led the Knicks to an upset 91-86 victory. In their 14 career head-to-head match-ups, Anthony is 9-5. This season, the Knicks lost the only game in which the two faced off (Anthony sat out the first Knick-Heat match-up). Melo has been rolling as of late and I think he'll keep it going tomorrow. The Knick superstar has been absolutely fantastic as of late, averaging 30 points a game on 50.7% shooting in the month of April. James is obviously a great defender and fantastic athlete, but Anthony does play well against him. As you can see above, Melo averages 21 ppg on 44% shooting. James also plays great against Anthony, but Melo's teams usually get the last laugh. I think tomorrow, it is imperative for Anthony to hit his jump shot early in the game. If he can get his jab step jumper game going, the rest of his offensive game will open up. To quote the great Hubie Brown "Anthony has the mid-range game down pat." The Melo-man is most dangerous when he's making it rain with the jump shot. If he can hit 2-3 jumpers early in the game, that will force James to play up on him. This allows Anthony to use his quickness to get to the rim and score, or make plays and dish assists if necessary. I think Melo will play a great game tomorrow and I think he'll give the Knicks a chance to win.
