WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 (UPI) -- Suddenly drones are everywhere -- not in the skies over the United States, as they will be by the thousands in a few years, and not just hovering over foreign battlefields to strike terror in the heart of al-Qaida -- but as the focus of debate in the U.S. Congress and elsewhere.
Inevitably, the U.S. Supreme Court will be asked to determine whether the use of extrajudicial lethal force against those marked as terrorists posing an imminent threat, including U.S. citizens, is constitutional. The court also will be asked to determine how intrusive drones can be when flown over domestic air space by government, law enforcement and private companies.
In what passed for a confirmation hearing, but which actually had all the trappings of a celebrity roast without the bonhomie, John Brennan was grilled Feb.7 by both Democratic and Republican senators on the constitutionality and transparency of the agency's use of drones. Brennan is President Obama's pick to head the CIA.
As Obama's counterterror adviser, Brennan was the principal architect of the administration's targeted killing program against al-Qaida militants, including U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen.
U.S. officials had linked Awlaki to a number of attempts to kill U.S. citizens, particularly the attempted bombing of a U.S. airliner on Christmas Day 2009.
"We only take such actions to save lives when there is no other alternative to mitigate that threat," Brennan told the Senate confirmation panel, adding officials agonize over trying to limit dangers to civilians.
Brennan said when it was possible to capture a terrorist, the administration has never opted to use lethal force instead.
Asked whether he would consider a special U.S. court to oversee the evidence before drone strikes are launched against U.S. citizens acting as terrorists abroad, Brennan said, "It's certainly worthy of discussion," though protecting Americans has been "an inherently executive branch function."
Brennan said the United States remains "at war with al-Qaida and its associated forces."
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., a principal critic of the program, said the drone operation shows "unfettered [presidential] power without checks and balances that is so troubling." Wyden asked Brennan whether the administration should "give an individual American an opportunity to surrender" before being targeted as a terrorist.
"Any American that joins al-Qaida will know he has joined an organization that is at war with the United states," Brennan said. He added that any member of al-Qaida "anywhere in the world" has an opportunity to surrender.
Awlaki was killed in a targeted drone strike in Yemen in September 2011. His 16-year-old son was killed a short time later, but it is not known whether he was specifically targeted.
"Now, in response to broad dissatisfaction with the hidden bureaucracy directing lethal drone strikes, there is an interest in applying the model of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court -- created by Congress so that [foreign and U.S.] surveillance had to be justified to a federal judge -- to the targeted killing of suspected terrorists, or at least of American suspects," The New York Times reported Feb. 8.
Members of the FISA court are appointed by Chief Justice John Roberts. The court conducts "ex parte" proceedings -- meaning only the government has access to its secret, non-adversarial proceedings.
But the Times cited several legal scholars and terror experts who said a "drone court would face constitutional, political and practical obstacles, and might well prove unworkable," though the time may be ripe to create one.
Former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who served in both the Bush and Obama administrations, is among those who support some kind of judicial oversight. He said Feb. 11 an outside check may be needed, "a panel of three judges [like the FISA court] or one judge or something that would give the American people confidence that there was, in fact, a compelling case to launch an attack against an American citizen."
In a sense, Awlaki had his day in court before being killed.
Awlaki was on a U.S. "kill list" believed to contain 20 names of terrorists overseas. In 2010, his father went to federal court in Washington asking for an injunction prohibiting the CIA and the U.S. Defense Department from killing his son.
U.S. District Judge John Bates dismissed the suit, saying Awlaki's father lacked standing, and said targeted strikes were a political issue not a judicial one.
"This court does not hold that the executive [the president] possesses unreviewable authority to order the assassination of any American whom he labels an enemy of the state," Bates ruled. "Rather, the court only concludes that it lacks the capacity to determine whether a specific individual in hiding overseas, whom the director of national intelligence has stated is an 'operational' member of [al-Qaida on the Arabian Peninsula], presents such a threat to national security that the United States may authorize the use of lethal force against him."
Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, said Awlaki could come to court to state his case, JewishWorldReview.com reported, but, "No U,S. citizen may simultaneously avail himself of the U.S. judicial system and evade U.S. law enforcement authorities."
The website report said Bates' ruling cleared "the way for the Obama administration to conduct the targeted killing -- without judicial oversight."
Others are attempting to define the moral, rather than the legal, parameters of the overseas drone program.
An opinion published in the conservative Commentary magazine Feb. 6 points out Obama, in a May 2008 speech, said the war against al-Qaida must be carried out "with an abiding confidence in the rule of law and due process; in checks and balances and accountability."
The president said he had ended enhanced interrogation techniques like waterboarding, and that the Bush administration "over the last eight years established an ad hoc legal approach for fighting terrorism that was neither effective nor sustainable -- a framework that failed to rely on our legal traditions and time-tested institutions, and that failed to use our values as a compass."
Writer Peter Wehner said it's not always easy to "navigate the murky waters of law, morality, war and terrorism, at least when you're in the White House and have an obligation to protect the country from massive harm."
The White House has released a U.S. Justice Department "white paper" to justify drone strikes that critics say is vague and too permissive.
Wehner conceded "there is a serious argument to be made that during wartime targeting terrorists, including Americans, with drones is justified. But that justification probably best not come from someone who has spent much of the last half-dozen years or so sermonizing against waterboarding, accusing those who approved such policies of trashing American ideals and shredding our civil liberties, and portraying himself as pure as the new-driven snow. Because any person who did so would be vulnerable to the charge of moral preening and moral hypocrisy."
On the domestic side, U.S. News & World Report said last year some analysts estimate "there may be as many as 30,000 unmanned drones operating in the United States by 2020 for uses such as wildfire containment and surveillance, law enforcement and surveying."
The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday that 327 of the 1,428 permits issued since 2007 are active. U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the largest user in the federal government with 10 Predator-sized aircraft patrolling the borders with Mexico and Canada.
A report released earlier this month by the non-partisan Congressional Research Service raises a number of questions.
The CRS report said under the FAA Modernization and Reform Act last year, "Congress has tasked the Federal Aviation Administration with integrating unmanned aircraft systems, sometimes referred to as unmanned aerial vehicles or drones, into the national airspace system by September 2015."
The report said the act makes safety a primary concern, but "it fails to establish how the FAA should resolve significant, and up to this point, largely unanswered legal questions."
Would a drone overflight in the United States "constitute a trespass? A nuisance? If conducted by the government, a constitutional taking? In the past, the Latin maxim cujus est solum ejus est usque ad coelum (for whoever owns the soil owns to the heavens) was sufficient to resolve many of these types of questions, but the proliferation of air flight in the 20th century has made this proposition untenable. Instead, modern jurisprudence concerning air travel is significantly more nuanced, and often more confusing."
The CRS said courts "have struggled to determine when an overhead flight constitutes a government taking [or appropriation] under the Fifth and 14th Amendments. With the ability to house surveillance sensors such as high-powered cameras and thermal-imaging devices, some argue that drone surveillance poses a significant threat to the privacy of American citizens. Because the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures applies only to acts by government officials, surveillance by private actors such as the paparazzi, a commercial enterprise or one's neighbor is instead regulated, if at all, by state and federal statutes and judicial decisions.
"Yet, however strong this interest in privacy may be," the report said, "there are instances where the public's First Amendment rights to gather and receive news might outweigh an individual's interest in being let alone."
The report said: "Additionally, there are a host of related legal issues that may arise with this introduction of drones in U.S. skies. These include whether a property owner may protect his property from a trespassing drone; how stalking, harassment and other criminal laws should be applied to acts committed with the use of drones; and to what extent federal aviation law could pre-empt future state law.
"Because drone use will occur largely in federal airspace, Congress has the authority or can permit various federal agencies to set federal policy on drone use in American skies," the report said. "This may include the appropriate level of individual privacy protection, the balancing of property interests with the economic needs of private entities, and the appropriate safety standards required."
The report concluded: "The legal issues discussed in this report will likely remain unresolved until the civilian use of drones becomes more widespread. To that end, the FAA has been tasked with developing 'a comprehensive plan to safely accelerate the integration' of drones into the national airspace, which focuses on the safety of the drone technology and operator certification."
The deadline for the development of a plan has passed, the report said, but the FAA has until the end of fiscal 2015 to implement such a plan.
"Additionally, the FAA must identify six test ranges where it will integrate drones into the national airspace. This deadline, 180 days after enactment of the act, has also elapsed without FAA compliance. Once these regulations are tested and promulgated, the unique legal challenges that could arise based on the operational differences between drones and already ubiquitous fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters may come into sharper focus."
The U.S. Supreme Court, of course, has ruled a number of times on intrusive searches and sophisticated surveillance techniques, most notably in 2001's Kyllo vs. U.S.
In the Kyllo case, a federal government agent used a "thermal imaging device" to scan a triplex in Florence, Ore., without a warrant to determine whether marijuana was being grown. The scan showed Danny Kyllo's garage was hot compared to the rest of his home and the neighborhood, consistent with the high-intensity lamps typically used for indoor marijuana growing.
The 5-4 Supreme Court majority opinion, written by Justice Antonin Scalia, sided with Kyllo. The opinion reversed a federal appeals court, and said when the "government uses a device that is not in general public use, to explore details of a private home that would previously have been unknowable without physical intrusion, the surveillance is a Fourth Amendment 'search,' and is presumptively unreasonable without a warrant."

Living Diplocaulus Or Clever Fake?
We have discovered a copy of this photo on a Japanese "modelling" site. The internet archive shows that the photo has been there on the site at least as far back as 2002.
A translation of the text gives the following message:
"Extremely, but before the similar photograph was produced to the contest of the magazine. Making prototype with the oil clay, you take type with the gypsum, pour in the non urethane foam. Because the gypsum was not dry sufficiently, the explosive air bubble appearing in urethane, you suffered hardship. Diplocaulus"
This appears to confirm that the photo is not genuine and we shall soon remove this item, however, we did want to give site visitors a chance to see the explanation for its removal. The Japanese site is located here
"Diplocaulus (meaning "double stalk") was not a dinosaur but an early amphibian, now extinct. It was distinguished by its boomerang-shaped head which was formed by two elongated bones at the back of the head. It had four short legs, and a short, flattened tail. It was about 3 feet (1 m) long.
Its unusually-shaped head may have made it difficult for predators, such as Eryops, to swallow it. Its head also may have been used as a hydrofoil, letting Diplocaulus swim against the current. It may have used its tail to help it swim.
Diplocaulus probably ate insects and fish.
Like all amphibians, it had to live near the water since amphibian eggs have no shells and must be laid in the water (or in very damp areas) or they will dry out and die. Also, it lost its gills as an adult.
When Diplocaulus Lived
Diplocaulus lived from the late Carboniferous to the late Permian period (roughly 270 million years ago), long before the dinosaurs evolved."
Continuing Reports of Mysterious Creature Swimming in North America's Deepest Lake
Nathan VanderKlippe
CanWest News Service
Saturday, September 18, 2004
YELLOWKNIFE, N.W.T. - Somewhere in the murky depths of the continent's deepest lake, a monster lurks.
Jim Lynn is sure of it.
This week, the Roman Catholic priest was looking out from his home on the shores of Great Slave Lake near Yellowknife when he saw an object trailing a small boat across the water.
"I got the goggles because it was moving fast and I was kind of curious as to what it was," said Lynn, 66. "It was high, six to eight feet above the water and moving at an incredulous speed.
"It was like the head of a dragon -- just coming out of the water at just a ferocious speed, just moving like crazy."
Aurora Borealis at Great Slave Lake.
Lynn watched as the creature, which looked green, hurtle behind an island, then disappear. He quickly called the Yellowknifer, a local newspaper, to place a advertisement asking the person on the lake that day to call him.
"I would think they would have felt the waves (from the creature)," he said.
Step aside, Nessie and Ogopogo, there's a new mystery leviathan on the block. And according to Chris Woodall, it's called Ol'Slavey.
Woodall, a Yellowknifer columnist, wrote earlier this summer that Great Slave Lake, with a maximum depth of 614 metres, hides some weird and wonderful creature.
To his surprise, his phone soon started ringing with calls from people who claimed to have seen just such a thing. He gave the creature the name Ol'Slavey, after one of the aboriginal languages in the Northwest Territories.
It's a fitting name, since the Dene have many stories about an unknown creature in the waters.
When Antoine Michel was growing up in the traditional community of Lutsel K'e, about 200 kilometres east of Yellowknife, he was taught that a creature lived in the waters off Utsingi Point, about 80 kilometres southwest of the community. To appease the nameless creature, people boating by the point pass in silence and pay respect to the lake with tobacco offerings.
"We usually stop the motor and go around the point, paddle quietly," he said. Years later, he saw the creature himself, on a calm moonlit night as he and his wife returned by boat from a caribou hunt.
"We seen a rock there. I thought it was a rock first time, there was seagulls around it," he said. "I just turned away from it, I didn't want to hit it, (then) it just went down. I felt the waves, and then I just took off. I didn't take a look back."
Boaters have seen strange creatures suddenly surfacing in the water in front of them. Lutsel K'e is near some of the deepest pockets in Great Slave Lake, a natural habitat for a beast of the depths.
Naysayers will say it's just a big fish, but northern divers who actually swim those waters say differently. A decade ago, Arctic Divers was on a deep-water body retrieval near Lutsel K'e when one of its divers saw a terrifying beast.
"It looked much like an alligator, but with a head like a pike," said Wayne Gzowski, the company's district manager. "I really do believe that there's unknown marine life in a lot of these areas," he said, in places that have never before been explored by humans.
According to aboriginal legend, the great Mackenzie River was created by a giant beaver. Rene Fumoleau, a retired Oblate priest and respected northern historian, remembers a Gwich'in elder telling him that a dragon now lives in the waters of Canada's biggest river.
"There are some places where the water never freezes in winter, and that is because there is that monster somewhere at the bottom of the river that stirs the waters," he said.
The Mackenzie flows out of Great Slave Lake; perhaps Ol'Slavey moves between haunts. Whatever the case, Archie Catholique, the chief of Lutsel K'e, is a believer. "The elders were saying that this thing here doesn't bother anybody -- it's not there to hurt anybody," he said. But, he added, "people see it."

Decor trends are all over the map this season, from continued bold colour to textured black and white to natural fabrics such as burlap and recycled tarpaulin, say trend-watchers at the Alberta Gift Show.
The huge trade show, held recently in Edmonton, brings together more than 450 exhibitors who showcase their wares to thousands of retailers from across Western Canada. The show, which isn't open to the general public, is where gift and home decor store owners decide what products they'll carry in the coming season.
Irene Gillespie, owner of Indaba Trading, a home decor wholesaler from B.C., says retailers are keen on colour this year.
"We're definitely having an interest in colour and texture and something that's a little bit more exciting, away from the blandness and the overwhelming sense of doom and gloom that everybody's had," she says. "It's like the awakening of new things, so we've done really well with everything that's fresh and vibrant and colourful."
Wholesaler Torre & Tagus Designs of B.C. is also seeing continued colour, says Spencer Schmick, the company's Alberta sales rep. "That's a key trend that's coming up and going to keep going forward," he says.
He points to accent chairs in teal and purple as good examples of the pops of colour people are injecting into their homes.
"Even in the more difficult economy, they may not be replacing the sofa, but they can replace all the pieces around it - the art, the vases, the accessories, so that's where the colour can come into play. If they did a good job in the first place, they would have stuck to a neutral sofa," he adds.
Many of the same updated '80s shades are back, as in fashion. "But the colours are clearer, they're not as muddy. We're looking for a little more crisp."
Another fashion trend being echoed in decor is texture and layering, says Gillespie. Particularly in housewares and tableware, pieces of different textures, patterns and colours are being mixed in unconventional ways.
While black and white are still popular, they too have more texture and more Art Nouveau influence, says Schmick. "There's a lit-tle bit of kitsch factor, too," he says, pointing to small, playful statues of bulldogs, as well as tea-light holders and place-card holders shaped like crowns and chess pieces.
While high-gloss, sleeker furniture and decor is still around, it's being mixed with items that are more classic, he adds. "The (day) of that whole sleek, stark contemporary look is really over. They still have those pieces, but they're mixing it with Old World pieces. It's really a blend now."
Gillespie, too, sees lots of the nostalgic, old-world look in glassware from recycled glass, remade into vintage-look pieces.
"Vintage is a key word in a lot of what we do," she adds. "Not garage sale, but Old World charm."
That includes lots of recycled and eco-friendly materials such as burlap and newer materials made from flax. She carries some nautical-themed cushions made from reclaimed tarpaulin. "You see tons of furniture in this natural kind of linen look," she says.
Images of birds, bugs and fish are popular on items such as pillows and paperweights, says Gillespie.
So, too, is "steampunk" decor, which incorporates Victorianera scientific and industrial images, old watch parts, mechanical pieces and the like.
"I think generally people are waking up out of a bit of a recession and feeling down and not excited about new things - they're feeling refreshed and ready to move on," she says. "There's an element of optimism and excitement."

Two new interesting commercial uses of copolyesters and copolyester elastomers were showcased by Eastman Chemical Co., Kingsport, Tenn., at last month's Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) West trade show in Anaheim, Calif.
•The Laparoscopic Lens Internal Cleaning System (LLICS)—a surgical instrument that cleans laparoscope lenses in situ during minimally-invasive surgeries—features a handle made of a blend of Eastman's Ecdel copolyester TPE and its Eastar PETG. Made by Melicor Medical LLC, Boulder, Colo., the blend reportedly provides the required flexibility and durability to create a living-hinge-like grip handle that undergoes repeated squeezing to deploy an internal cleaning sponge throughout a surgical procedure.
•IPG Photonics, Oxford, Mass., maker of high-power fiber lasers and amplifiers, has developed technology for welding clear-to-clear polymers with fiber lasers. The technology is now available to weld medical devices and other products made with Eastman's proprietary Tritan copolyester as well as a range of translucent and transparent polymers, creating welds that can be invisible to the human eye. It has been shown to produce high-strength welds on Tritan copolyester while preserving the material's strength, clarity, and processability. IPG's new technology eliminates the need for the addition of energy-absorbing additives, typically required for laser welding.

Liked the topping but it didn't do much for the steak. Might try putting in on chicken or pork chops instead.

What To Know About Bobblehead #9
Born: June 22, 1982 at Port Huron, MI
Selected in the 19th round of the 2003 draft.
In 2004, Motte made his Triple-A debut as a catcher and hit .200 (1×5) in three games for the 'Birds. In the following seasons, Motte spent time working on his plate discipline at the Single-A and Double-A levels and eventually shifted his focus to pitching in the summer of 2006.
The right-handed reliever made his return to Memphis in 2008 to establish a 4-3-9 record with a 3.24 ERA over 63 appearances. He led all PCL relief pitchers in strikeouts per nine innings, averaging 14.85.
He finished the '08 season by making his major league debut in St. Louis. The then 26-year-old helped the Cardinals close-out their season by twirling 16 strikeouts over 11 innings for a 0.82 ERA.
Arrive early to Tuesday August 18th's Redbirds game against the Fresno Grizzlies, because the first 1,500 fans will receive a Jason Motte bobblehead. Gates open at 6:00 P.M.

More airports opting out from federal agency after scandals
Steve Watson
July 31, 2012
Sacramento International Airport is dropping the TSA and replacing all security screeners with private contractors after it was given approval to opt out of the TSA program.
The Airport will become the third largest in the country to ditch the TSA and hire private security. Only a few other airports have done so after Congress passed legislation earlier in the year, opening the door for the widely loathed federal agency to be marginalized from aviation security altogether.
Airport Director Hardy Acree told reporters that he believes private screeners can do a better job than federal employees. "I think there is going to be a higher level of customer service", Acree said.
"It's a win-win for everything has no bearing on security procedure or the processes the public has become accustomed to," another Sacramento Airport official told CBS News.
Linda Beech Cutler added that the move "Makes us more flexible for staffing, for peak times and not being so staffed up for not so busy times".
Passengers notified of the coming change approved, suggesting that they would feel safer with private security on hand.
"It might be better, less intrusive on us. I don't like how the government runs their business," said one flyer.
In San Francisco, where TSA screeners have already been replaced, private security has been a success. "It's been awesome in San Francisco." said one flyer. "They get travelers through faster, they do a better job finding test devices, and the morale is better than the TSA."
Watch the CBS report:
Although the eviction of TSA screeners is growing, many will be concerned by the fact that in accordance with federal law, private contract screeners are still trained by the TSA, and must adhere to TSA procedures.
"They will issue proposals, evaluate the private security companies and ultimately choose the company that would operate here," said Linda Beech Cutler .
The new security agents will still use TSA equipment (body scanners), will still wear TSA badges, and will still be overseen by TSA supervisors. Current TSA employees at the airport will also be able to apply to become part of the new private security team.
The TSA had frozen the ability for airports to apply to use their own private screeners. However, a law passed by Congress reinstated the right and now forces the TSA to reconsider applications to the Screening Partnership Program.
Sacramento Airport applied to opt out from the TSA program in April. Just one month prior to that application, another major airport, Orlando Sanford International, announced that it was also opting out of using TSA workers.
The agency has been slow to reissue the guidelines on the the rule change, prompting Republican Representatives John Mica of Florida, Darrell Issa of California and Jason Chaffetz of Utah to press TSA head John Pistole to implement the mandate.
Mica has personally written to 200 airports advising them of the opportunity to opt out of using TSA screeners.
The TSA has been keen to downplay the opportunity for airports to dispense with their screeners, fearing a mass exodus that could undermine the justification for the agency's continued existence, especially given the fact that its reputation has been repeatedly savaged by a number of scandals, alleged privacy rights violations and intrusive pat-down techniques.

Letter, J. H. Kagi to "My dear Father"
Author: Kagi, John Henry
Date: April 14, 1857
Having finally made and returned from his long-delayed trip to Nebraska City, Kagi wrote his father from Lawrence, where he had gone almost immediately "on business." Although he can't discuss the particulars for fear of "bribed P.M. [post master?] spies," Kagi makes some interesting observations about freestate "prospects" throughout the territory, which "look much more hopeful now than when I left." Kagi mentions some land investment opportunities and the expected arrival of Governor Robert Walker, who would not last long if he tried to enforce the "bogus laws."

Justin Timberlake won a permanent restraining order against an overeager fan Monday evening, as courts ruled a woman who visited the pop star's home several times could no longer come within 100 yards of the singer.
Los Angeles courts Monday ruled Karen McNeil had to keep her distance from Timberlake, who was initially requested to appear in court but didn't make an appearance, TMZ reported. Timberlake's lawyer Marty Singer handed in a statement from Timberlake in lieu of a personal testimony.
Timberlake was granted a temporary restraining order last week against McNeil, who he called an "obsessed mentally unstable celebrity stalker" who he did not "personally know."
U.S. & World
McNeil allegedly showed up at Timberlake's L.A. home several times, arriving at the house in a cab then entering through a gate, gcops said. When Timberlake's camp asked McNeil to leave during her last visit Monday evening, she refused -- so his people called the police.
McNeil, who testified along with Timberlake's security guards at the hearing, also isn't allowed to contact the ex-N'Sync star, directly or indirectly.
The crazed fan turned in legal documents to the court that said she is a god who wants to "rule" the earth with Timberlake -- and that "Babylon witches" made her stalk the star.

In the ongoing quest of the guys over on the Hardened-PHP project to help protect PHP installs from the evils of the internet, there's a new project in development that could help make even more PHP installations more secure - Suhosin.
Suhosin is an advanced protection system for PHP installations. It was designed to protect servers and users from known and unknown flaws in PHP applications and the PHP core. Suhosin comes in two independent parts, that can be used separately or in combination.
The first part is a small patch against the PHP core, that implements a few low-level protections against bufferoverflows or format string vulnerabilities and the second part is a powerful PHP extension that implements all the other protections.
Unlike our Hardening-Patch Suhosin is binary compatible to normal PHP installation, which means it is compatible to 3rd party binary extension like ZendOptimizer.
There's already some information on the project posted on its homepage, but since it's still a beta preview of the code, the feature list and documentation isn't complete. If you'd like to check out this project in its early stages and see what it's all about, a great place to start is the current information including links to the downloads and how to get it set up on your install.

The Colorado Chapter of the National Mustang Association announced they may move forward with the roundup process after backing out of an earlier one because of unfavorable Colorado branding laws. The fear was the horses could end up in the hands of slaughterhouses.
"We are more than willing to go through a roundup process because there is no way around the branding laws," said Tif Rodriguez, executive director for the Colorado Chapter. "We realize we could be competing with the slaughterhouses during the auction."
An estimated 100 to 117 feral horses at Mesa Verde delight tourists, but they put pressure on native wildlife such as elk and deer at watering holes. An extremely dry June and July caused six horses to die in a six-week period. Park biologists said dehydration likely played a role in some of the deaths.
The situation triggered an organized protest at the park on July 29 with participants demanding water be provided for the animals. But official park policy is to not feed wildlife, including horses.
The park is working to reduce the feral horse population and is installing fencing to prevent them entering the park at the Ute Mountain Ute reservation boundary.
"Once we have a more control of the population and know how many we have in the park, then we can manage the herds more effectively," said park biologist Neal Perry.
To remedy the situation, a roundup was being organized with the Wild Mustang Association in June. However, the horse group called it off after it became apparent the horses would have to go through the Colorado branding process. The concern is that, under the law, the horses have to be sold at auction and could potentially be bought up by slaughterhouses.
"I feel we will be successful in buying them," Rodriguez said. "Then we board them at our facilities and adopt them out or send them to horse rescue-organizations," Rodriguez said.
The horses sell for $30 to $40 per head, but slaughterhouses could increase the bid during the auction, which would take place at the Cortez Sale Barn.
Roundups of wild horses are not easy. Biologists use bait to lure horses over time into a certain area. Coral fencing is progressively installed over multiple days until they are surrounded. Then they are loaded onto trailers, go through the 14-day brand inspection process, and then transported to auction facilities.
"It's frustrating not to do anything," said Lynda Larsen, of the Mustang Association. "To let them die of dehydration is unacceptable. They are a part of our heritage."
The feral horses at the park do not fall under protections of the Wild Free Roaming Horse and Burro Act, which has established designated areas, including for the Spring Creek herd in Disappointment Valley. During dry periods, water is sometimes provided for those herds under the law.
"The horses at the park are as wild as the Spring Creek herd," Rodriguez said. "They are untouched by man and go back 10 generations."

In the grand conference finale of tho 1930 football season, the Thundering Herd of Troy will clash with Coach Jimmy Phelan's Washington Huskies tomorrow afternoon at the coliseum In the annual Thanksgiving football game. Although favored to win by from one to two touchdowns. Coach Howard Jones will take no chances of a possible game upset and will start hla first string against the Husky team. As the result of new developments during the past two weeks the game ls expected to take on championship aspects. IMPROVEMENT SHOWN Apparently snapping out of Its Inferiority complex, the Washing ton contingent has shown worlds of Improvement especially In Its game with the champion Washing ton Stato Cougars, who finally resorted to a fleld goal io' emerge victorious. This powerful eleven from the north Is not optimistic of the final outcome but it has plenty of hope that a big conference game upset can not be denied If It plays the brand of ball lt demonstrated against the Cougars. An overwhelming defeat at the hands of the Thundering Herd last year has not been forgotten by the members of the Purple and Gold eleven and memories of that disastrous defeat may spur the northern tide to play harder than ever In an attempt to win. WILCOX OUT Jones will be handicapped somewhat with the loss of Dutch Wilcox, one of the best ends on the coast and incidently a man who the head mentor had relied upon a great deal on breaking up the Washington aerial attack. Sparling has sufficiently recovered from his Injuries toi start tomorrows game in place of Wilcox. Unless It becomes necessary the Trojans will rely ou their powerful running plays, Intorinlngled with a few specialties in the line of lateral and forward passes to cinch the ball game, thus saving any new trick plays for Notre Dame. Pliulan, a proponent of the fa mous Notre Dame system, lias developed a dangerous aerial combination In Marsh aud Hufford. Marsh does the passing while Hufford seems to possess remarkable ability when it comes to snagging passes out of the ozone.

Bad news first: ServerGeddon (a.k.a. Imagepocalypse) is still in effect this Sunday morning. The good news? We're going to own this. In the spirit of this snafu, here's a bunch of chase scenes set to Boots Randolph's "Yakety Sax." Enjoy.
Creating a Benny Hill mash-up is no easy task — indeed, you need an exciting/tense chase sequence that looks totally ridiculous in fast forward, and it helps if the scene is absolutely unfunny to begin with. That's the magic of "Yakety Sax" — it can make even the most dire pursuit thrillarious.
Anyway, on to the Top 5. You've already seen our first entry, a hodgepodge of Christopher Eccleston-era Doctor Who scenes. This particular video scores points for a segment of the Doctor doing a lil' soft shoe.
Our next entry is from Friday the 13th: A New Beginning. It's incredible how stupefyingly long the chase sequence is...and I mean in fast forward.
And here's a saxophone-drunk escape from the Death Star....
...and a zippier take on the The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Warning — this video spoils the ending to the entire movie, so if you've never seen this horror classic, now's not a good place to start.
Finally, here's a Bennyfied cut of everyone's favorite 1983 John Lithgow TV movie, The Day After. It's the Funpocalypse!
Honorable Mention: V for Vendetta, for its Benny Hill talk show sketch, which is the most watchable scene in that movie. How meta!
