On a sunny day at the SNPP at 8 am, Mr. Burns strolls gleefully into his office, whistling.
Smithers: Good morning, sir. Care for some coffee?
Burns: [joyful] No, the promise of a new day is more than enough exhilaration for me.
[time passes, and Burns gradually loses his energy]
[at 11:30, his head bangs on his desk]
Burns: [exhausted] Smithers... coffee.
-- "Mountain of Madness"
A sip is all that's needed to boost his batteries.
Burns: We need some excitement around here!
Smithers: Chinese checkers or domestic, sir?
Burns: No, no. Something fun. Something the men will enjoy... like a safety drill! But what kind?
-- That sounds like a lot of fun indeed, "Mountain of Madness"
Burns: Meltdown alert? Mad dog drill? Blimp attack? Ah... I think a good old-fashioned fire drill today.
[alarm goes off; most people just stare, intrigued]
Carl: All right, popcorn's ready! [takes the bag out of the microwave and pours kernels in a bowl]
Homer: Hey... that's the fire alarm.

'Miracle' flight crew: Teamwork saved lives
By Tracy Vedder Published: Jul 19, 2009 at 10:00 PM PST Last Updated: Jul 20, 2009 at 6:49 AM PST
Survivors called it a "miracle." The Seattle-based flight crew calls it "teamwork." And 20 years after they guided United Flight 232 onto a cornfield in Iowa, saving more than half the passengers, they're still not quite sure how they managed to do it.
When the crew declared an emergency and was directed to land in Sioux City, Iowa, many thought all 296 souls on board would be lost.
When the aircraft's right wing tipped down and it broke apart careening in a fireball across the runway and into a cornfield, many were sure all aboard would die.
But they all remember that day - July 19, 1989 - very clearly.
"There was a very, very loud bang," recalls Record. He had the controls when the center engine blew apart.

How can we help relieve the stress of local government employees?

How can we help relieve the stress of local government employees?
Over 70% of local government employees say stress is affecting how well they do their jobs. Lloyd Clark looks into how CapacityGRID provides solutions
Lloyd Clark
Over 70% of local government employees say stress is affecting how well they can do their jobs, according to a recent survey by UNISON.
Leaving aside the question of how the survey was designed, there is no doubt that local authorities are under significant pressure to reduce costs and to maintain or improve service levels. This can lead to greater levels of stress.
Given the paramount importance of people to the delivery and continuous innovation of public services, we need to take this issue very seriously – but the union's call to "slow down the cuts currently hitting councils" is likely to fall on deaf ears. While capital spending may get a boost to support growth, we're likely to see even greater cuts to public services in the coming years.
But is stress solely related to austerity? And if slowing down the cuts is unlikely, then are there other things we should focus on to enable employees to succeed in the new reality of a smaller public sector?
One of the things that makes local government so special is that it's local – close to the people it serves. But this is also one of its critical challenges, because services are replicated at hundreds of different locations across the country.
The delivery model, therefore, is sub-scale, putting much greater pressure on individuals to cope with a wide range of functions and peaks of work. This is a challenge at the best of times, but leads to far greater levels of stress when resources are cut. Not only is resilience lost, but it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain the breadth of skills that are required to deliver many public services.
We need to organise in a way that will deal with these issues, while retaining the 'local' in local government. We're not suggesting a new round of local authority reorganisation, nor do we believe that shared services are a panacea. We need a different approach: one that focuses on moving work to people rather than people to the work

Red Storm Rising
THE CHESAPEAKE BAY, MARYLAND
His eyes squinted painfully at the horizon. The sun was only half a diameter above the green-brown line of Maryland's Eastern Shore, a reminder, if he needed one, that he'd worked late the day before, gone to bed later still, then arisen at four-thirty so that he could get in a day's fishing. A slowly receding sinus like headache also let him know about the six-pack of beer he'd consumed in front of the TV.
But it was his first fishing day of the year, and the casting rod felt good in his hand as he gave it a gentle swing toward a ripple on the calm surface of the Chesapeake Bay. A blue or a rockfish? Whatever it was, it didn't nibble at his Bucktail lure. But there was no hurry.
"Coffee, Bob?"
"Thanks, Pop." Robert Toland set his rod in its holder and leaned back into the midships swivel chair of his Boston Whaler Outrage. His father-in-law, Edward Keegan, held out the plastic cup-cap from a large thermos jug. Bob knew the coffee would be good. Ned Keegan was a former naval officer who appreciated a good cup, preferably flavored with brandy or Irish whiskey-something to open the eyes and put a fire in the belly.
"Cold or not, damn if it ain't nice to get out here." Keegan sipped at his cup, resting one foot on the bait box. It wasn't just the fishing, both men agreed, getting out on the water was one sure cure for civilization.
"Be nice if the rock really are coming back, too," Toland observed.
"What the hell-no phones."
"What about your beeper?"
"I must have left it with my other pants." Keegan chuckled. "DIA will have to manage without me today."
"Think they can?"
"Well, the Navy did." Keegan was an academy graduate who had put in his thirty and retired to become a double-dipper. In uniform, he'd been an intelligence specialist, and now he had essentially the same job, which added civil service salary to his pension.
Toland had been a lieutenant (j.g.) serving aboard a destroyer based at Pearl Harbor when he'd first noticed Martha Keegan, a junior at the University of Hawaii, majoring in psychology and minoring in surfing. They'd been happily married for fifteen years now.
"Red Storm Rising"
"So." Keegan stood and lifted his rod. "How are things at the Fort?"
Bob Toland was a middle-level analyst at the National Security Agency. He'd left the Navy after six years when the adventure of uniformed service had palled, but he remained an active reservist. His work at NSA dovetailed nicely with his naval reserve service. A communications expert with a degree in electronics, his current job was monitoring Soviet signals gathered by the NSA's numerous listening posts and ferret satellites. Along the way he'd also gotten a masters in the Russian language.
"Heard something real interesting last week, but I couldn't convince my boss it meant anything."
"Who's your section chief?"
"Captain Albert Redman, U.S. Navy." Toland watched a bay-built fishing boat motoring a few miles away, her captain laying out his crab pots. "He's an asshole."
Keegan laughed. "You want to be careful saying stuff like that out loud, Bob, especially seeing how you go on active duty next week. Bert worked with me, oh, must have been fifteen years ago. I had to slap him down a few times. He does tend to be slightly opinionated."
"Opinionated?" Toland snorted. "That bastard's so friggin' narrow-minded his scratch pads are only an inch wide! First there was this new arms control thing, then I came up with something really unusual last Wednesday and he circular-filed it. Hell, I don't know why he even bothers looking at new data-he made his mind up five years ago."
"I don't suppose you could tell me what it was?"
"I shouldn't." Bob wavered for a moment. Hell, if he couldn't talk with his kids' own grandfather ..."One of our ferret birds was over a Soviet military district headquarters last week and intercepted a microwaved telephone conversation. It was a report to Moscow about four colonels in the Carpathian Military District who were being shot for gundecking readiness reports. The story on their court-martial and execution was being set up for publication, probably in a Red Star this week." He had entirely forgotten about the oil-field fire.
"Oh?" Keegan's eyebrows went up. "And what did Bert say?"
"He said, 'It's Goddamned about time they cleaned their act up.' And that was that."
"And what do you say?"
"Pop, I'm not in Trends and Intentions-those idiot fortune-tellers, but I know that even the Russians don't kill people for jollies. When Ivan kills people publicly, he does it to make a point. These were not manpower officers taking bribes to fake deferments. They weren't popped for stealing diesel fuel or building dachas with pilfered lumber. I checked our records, and it turned out we have files on two of them. They were both experienced line officers, both with combat experience in Afghanistan, both Party members in good standing. One was a graduate of Frunze Academy, and he even had a few articles published in Military Thought, for God's sake! But all four were court-martialed for falsifying their regimental readiness reports-and shot three days later. That story will hit the streets in Krasnaya Zvezda over the next few days as a two-or three-part story under 'The Observer's' by-line-and that makes it a political exercise with a capital P."
The Observer was the cover name for any number of high-ranking officers who contributed to Red Star, the daily newspaper of the Soviet armed services. Anything on the front page and under that by-line was taken quite seriously, both in the Soviet military services and by those whose job it was to watch them, because this by-line was used explicitly to make policy statements approved by both the military high command and the Politburo in Moscow.
"A multipart story?" Keegan asked.
"Yeah, that's one of the interesting things about it. The repetition means they really want this lesson to sink in. Everything about this is out of pattern, Pop. Something funny is happening. They do shoot officers and EM's-but not full colonels who've written for the journal of the general staff, and not for faking a few lines in a readiness statement." He let out a long breath, happy to have gotten this off his chest. The workboat was proceeding south, her wake rippling out toward them in parallel lines on the mirrored surface. The image made Toland wish for his camera.
"Makes sense," Keegan mumbled.
"Huh?"
"What you just said. That does sound out of pattern."
"Yep. I stayed in late last night, running down a hunch. In the past five years, the Red Army has published the names of exactly fourteen executed officers, none higher than a full colonel, and even then only on manpower officer in Soviet Georgia. The guy was taking payoffs for deferments. The others broke down into one case of spying, for us or somebody, three derelictions of duty while under the influence of alcohol, and nine conventional corruption cases, selling everything from gasoline to a whole mainframe computer nalyevo, 'on the left,' the shadow market. Now all of a sudden they waste four regimental commanders, all in the same military district."
"You could take that to Redman," Keegan suggested.
"Red Storm Rising"
"Waste of time."
"Those other cases-I seem to remember the three guys who-"
"Yeah, that was part of the temperance campaign. Too many guys turn up drunk on duty, and they pick three volunteers, pour encourager les autres." Bob shook his head. "Jeez, Voltaire would have loved these guys."

Spurns Lunch Wine : 'I'm Not an Alcoholic'--Princess Di
July 23, 1987 United Press International
LONDON — Princess Diana ignored royal protocol against answering press criticism to assure the world she is "not about to become an alcoholic."
One of London's Sunday newspapers alleged recently that Diana, Britain's future queen, and her "best friend" and sister-in-law, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, were upsetting the rest of the Royal Family by swigging too much champagne.
"Contrary to recent reports in some of our more sensational Sunday newspapers, I have not been drinking," Diana told a formal luncheon.
After a short pause and a ripple of laughter, she went on: "And I am not, I assure you, about to become an alcoholic."

The Palace Gets Serious With Fun-Loving Diana
December 17, 1987|DEBORAH TELFORD Reuters
LONDON — Princess Diana, Britain's attractive, blond, future queen and the most photographed woman in the world, has an image problem.
It's not that she's too thin, or too fat, needs a nose job, is drinking too much, or has any of the alleged ailments Britain's tabloids delight in reporting as fact.
The 26-year-old mother of two is having too much fun.
And she's kicking up her heels with a sense of style that some Buckingham Palace observers say has finally overstepped the restraint the royal family should show.
Even the most trivial details of Diana's glamorous wardrobe, public appearances and private habits have made headlines since the coy former kindergarten teacher sent fervor for the royals soaring with her engagement to Prince Charles in 1981.
Since then, she has become the darling of a media impressed by her refreshingly down-to-earth nature, love of children, pop music and dancing.
High-Living Friends
But in a year when speculation is intense that she and Charles are drifting apart and the young royals are being told their coltish behavior is undermining the monarchy's dignity, Diana is raising more eyebrows than usual with her hemlines and high-living friends.
Just as Buckingham Palace was papering over Charles and Diana's alleged marriage rift by ensuring they were seen more together after 39 days apart over the summer, Diana was photographed after dinner with a male friend last month.
The raunchy People newspaper said the princess burst into tears when a photographer snapped her skylarking outside a friend's home with Life Guard Capt. David Waterhouse, who tried playfully to run her down with his silver Audi 100.
