But it will be a stormy day for most of the country. In the week to come those storms will bring rain and possibly more snow as they move across the nation. Keep those shovels handy. Next the fight over drones. Im a good man with a good heart osgood later osgood it looks big to me, but not all drones are as small as this one. The debate over the use of drones isnt small either particularly after the events of this past week. Later well be hearing from correspondent david martin. But to begin our sunday morning cover story is reported by Martha Teichner. Reporter their names predator reaper, imply their deadly intent. They are what weve come to understand drones to be. Unmanned killing machines armed with hell fire missiles controlled from thousands of miles away as they stall being and then destroy supposed terrorist targets in places like pakistan yemen afghanistan. Drones are the controversial weapon of choice in a semisecret war that was dragged into the spotlight this past week. Mr. Brennan, please stand. Reporter during confirmation hearings for john brennan as c. I. A. Director. The people that were standing up here today, i think they really have a misunderstanding of what we do as a government. Reporter currently the obama administrations counterterrorism chief, brennan oversees covert drone strikes. We only take such actions as a last resort to save lives when theres no other alternative by taking an action that is going to mitigate that threat. Reporter but what exactly that means ethically and even legally troubles critics. And what we dont know. Estimates cobbled together by journalists and think tanks of those killed in c. I. A. Drone attacks are all over the place. In pakistan since 2004 from under 2,000 at the low end to more than 3400. The c. I. A. Isnt saying. So who is being killed . Terrorists or civilians . The data show that only in relatively small number of highlevel targets have been killed. Something in the order of 50. Estimates vary. Reporter out of all the drone strikes. Out of all the drone strikes which is roughly 2 of those who have been killed which means that 98 of those killed have not been highlevel targets. These photos were taken by a photographer who has gone to strike sites. Reporter james is a law professor at Stanford University and coauthor of a paper critical of u. S. Drone use. These are of shrapnel. Reporter he and his team went to pakistan. We dont hear enough about the costs. Civilians killed. Civilians injured. Destruction of communities. Growth of antiamericanism. And fomenting recruitment for terrorist groups. All of that is considered there are serious doubts about whether drones are the best option. Reporter Administration Policy makers believe drones often are the best option. For keeping american soldiers out of harms way. The thing that we called war is being changed by this technology. Reporter peter singer is a senior fellow at the brookings institution. Its allowed us to disconnect two things that used to go hand in hand in war. The destructive side but also the risk of sending people into action. Now youre able to separate them. And not have a huge impact. Reporter and heres something you may not know. The vast majority of the 8,000 or so drones in use by the u. S. Military dont look like this. Theyre more likely to look like glorified model airplanes equipped not with missiles but cameras. Together with highflying Surveillance Drones they alert troops when theyre in danger. In afghanistan, you have soldiers that will write letters back and say you know our patrol was saved today because you were doing overwatch on it. Reporter now droans are headed off the battlefield. Theyre already coming your way. A little less than three pounds. Reporter the California Company that sells the military Something Like 85 of its fleet is marketing them now to Public Safety agencies. Flying behind us is the cube system. Its a small Unmanned Aircraft that is designed to give First Responders an immediate eye in the sky so they can find lost kids. They can investigate accidents. They can support Disaster Recovery for earthquakes in california, tornadoes in the midwest, hurricanes on the gulf coast. Reporter steve gitland is a Vice President of the company. Less than 50,000 which is about what Police Agencies pay for a fully equipped police cruiser. Reporter as opposed to a helicopter which would be. They can cost 1 2 million a piece. Reporter suppose you have a dangerous hostage situation, as shown in this simulation. An Unmanned Aircraft can track the gunman. It can evaluate flooding or help firefighters cheaply and safely without endangering lives the argument goes. Rodney, will you talk to me. Eporter at this north dakota farm one assisted in safely resolving an armed standoff over some cattle. We were able to tell that there were three adult males at the end of the driveway which appeared to be holding long guns. Reporter kelly jankey is sheriff of nelson county. The next morning the three men were arrested. Thats when we utilized the u. A. Vrgs again. We determined that it was safe at the time. So we moved in basically to extract the cattle that we were given a warrant for. You guys will do another flight demo here. Again, we have we still have the i. R. Sensor pod on the aircraft. Youre going to see everything in black and white. White is hot. Black is dark or cold. Reporter last week in grand forks, north dakota, First Responders attended a short course in what drones can do for them. Most of all, call us and tell us that you need us because we want to come out and start utilizing this. Reporter the project coordinator alan fraser teaches at the university of north dakota and is a Deputy Sheriff himself. Very small. About 36 inches from one arm to the other. Reporter the irony here is that a Grand Forks County sheriffs department, like every other Law Enforcement agency has to get a special license from the f. A. A. Before it can use an Unmanned Aircraft. But today you or i could go online, order a drone kit for a few hundred colors and fly the thing anywhere. Legally. Terry killby a smart phone apps designer and his wife belinda, an art teacher, used theirs to take birds eye view photographs of baltimore. We can get something that is totally unique and a fresh perspective. Images that you wouldnt ordinarily think that youve already seen before but now its a completely new take on it. Reporter but where there are drones theres controversy. No drones. We are on a slippery slope. Reporter this was a City Council Meeting in seattle. On thursday the mayor ordered seattles police force to end its Unmanned Aerial Vehicle program. At least 11 states have led legislation pending that would restrict or baab drone use including texas. The invasion of privacy is the number one issue. Reporter state representative lance goodin is one of the bills sponsors. With these drones you can hover over someones backyard a foot off the ground. You can film into someones back living room. You can record conversations. Reporter but alan fraser of north dakota thinks regulation is premature. If at the time the write brothers were experimenting with powered flight if a Governmental Agency had stepped in and said, you know, we have privacy concerns about this, i wonder whether we would be where we are with air travel. We werent sure if this was even doable in our lifetime. Reporter in its infancy now, Drone Technology is growing up fast. Power it up. Reporter look at this. Takeoff. Bring it back in. Say hello. Reporter matt keen and headed the team at aero environment that developed the humming bird for the department of defense. It weighs less than an ounce. The video camera is tucked in about the neck.

Osgood and now a page from our sunday morning almanac. February 10, 1933, 80 years ago today. The day the stodgy old telegram business changed its tune. For that was the day the Postal Telegraph Cable Company is said to have delivered the first singing telegram. Adopted by the far larger Western Union company five months later the singing telegram quickly took its place in American Folklore making sometimes fanciful appearances on the screen. Tap dancer buddy bure used to deliver a singing telegram to band leader Charlie Barnett in this 1940s musical short. Osgood speaking of bunnies, bette midler dressed up like one to belt out a singing telegram in her 1988 film beaches. Happy happy birthday buddy boy were here to deliver a vocal valentine. Reporter and more recently amuseical message particularly appropriate for this week played a role in a tv series glee. On the other hand, theres this dark humor take on it in the 1985 comic mystery thriller clue. I am your singing telegram happy birthday to you happy birthday to you osgood in real life however, the singing telegram was increasingly more likely to be delivered over the phone than in person. As the telegram business declined in the face of changing technology. Quite an honor. This will be the last singagram that Western Union will have. Reporter Western Union closed down its singing Telegram Service in 2006 leaving no singers in snappy uniforms to sing. Happy birthday dear lind today happy birthday to you and its signed david. Osgood just ahead how tall is too tall . Tell me you love me. Tell me im beautiful. Tell me well grow old together. In sickness and in health. Tell me that im still the one. That you need me. That im your super hero tell me youll never let me go. Tell me you miss me. Thats all i need. [ female announcer ] for everything they need to hear this valentines day theres a hallmark card. Smoke .

These heads belong to those who cant put their lives jobs and loved ones on hold because of a migraine. So when a migraine starts, they grab excedrin migraine. They know excedrin provides fast pain relief. Plus it relieves sensitivity to light, sound, even nausea. No wonder its 1 neurologist recommended. Excedrin specializes in ending headaches and like you we wont be easily stopped. Not even by migraines. Migraines are where excedrin excels. Osgood walking tall has its advantages and its disadvantages. At least so say the women our mo rocca has been talking with. Reporter theres plenty of up side to being tall. Just ask an nba star. Or that guy in the supermarket who helps you reach the top shelf. Theres even an economic benefit. Theres a lot of research that shows that tall people make more money. They make an average of 789 more per inch per year which is an exceedingly large amount of money. Reporter but 63 writer also knows for tall heterosexual women finding a mate is no slam dunk. Tall women will not date down. They refuse to date people shorter than them just because they sort of want that feeling of comfort. So its a very, very common thing. Reporter the average height for american women is 54 , 59 for men. What do you do if youre a woman who is 62 without heels . Some tall women have famously dated down. Remember jill st. John and Henry Kissinger . Susan anton and dudley moore . Sonny and cher . Mimi rogers and tom cruise . Nicole kidman and tom cruise. Katie holmes and tom cruise. Most men apparently have no problem dating taller women. Id really like to have sex with a tall woman. I mean really tall like a giant. Reporter megan is my height, 6tall. I am really only attracted to guys that are taller than me. I dont know if its a physical thing or a mental thing. But its definitely there. Reporter its a feeling that may be rooted in biology where taller suggests stronger. One of the things that women seem to want in a male partner in particular is someone who displays social dominance because if you partner yourself up with someone who has social dominance, that person is going to be beneficial for you your future and your progeny. Reporter professor glen gere has studied the psychology of attraction. The big problem for tall women is theyre not attracted to shorter guys not that shorter guys arent attracted to hem. Its not that they cant find guys. Its with this ol gorism of trying to find someone who is relatively tall to yourself thats where their pool becomes shortened, so to speak. Reporter when you see a short girl with a tall boyfriend boyfriend, how does that make you feel . I get a little, you know hate in my heart because im like gosh, one less person for me. Reporter Whitney Lynch stands 62 inches tall. Have you ever dated a short guy . I have. I have dated a short guy. Reporter how short . 58. Actually its not that bad. Reporter not that bad but still, she says, uncomfortable. It looks unnatural to me, i think. Reporter it looks like what . It looks like hes at my chest. laughing . Reporter and it makes you feel like youre not his girlfriend but his. His mother. Reporter its an image weve all seen in comedies from the marx brothers. Cant you see what im trying to tell you . I love you. Youre not so bad yourself. Reporter . To 16 candles. Nobody has caught me yet. Theres something about always being larger than everyone in the crowd. Always standing out always just being looked at, or whatever. I would like to have someone be on that same plane with me. Reporter claire burns, 61. And you want a guy who is how tall . Ideally about 63 , 64. Reporter that means claire is limiting herself to 4. 2 of the adult male population. You remember that cartoon boris and natasha. Absolutely. Reporter that relationship worked. It did but its also a cartoon. So that may not work for me. Reporter thats a very good point. But in the real world, there are plenty of examples of tall women and shorter men. And not just on the red carpet. I just never thought i would wind up with a woman that could physically lift me in the air. Reporter mark is a scrappy 57. His wife christine is 61. Is it ever physically awkward . Theres been a couple of occasions where we walked into an event and we actually see the height difference in the mirror. Were like, oh, this is what other people see. Okay. Reporter but no matter. Christine still fell hard for mark. I felt very taken care of. Totally protected by him in a way that nobody had ever made me feel. Reporter even really tall guys . Yeah. Reporter so maybe things will start looking up for single tall women if they just start looking down. Osgood still to come. You come to buy stamps when you dont need stamps. It just makes your day so much better. Osgood first class all the way. Osgood does the planned end of saturday postal delivery except for packages mean the firstclass Postal Service is a thing of the past . No, not at all. Certainly not in the office that Steve Hartman visited. Reporter typically post office lines breed anger and frustration. But at the head of this cue on the campus of Penn State University in State College pennsylvania, youll find nothing but joy. I love coming in here. My mission is to make them have a little bit of levity on the way out. Nice nails. Thank you. Reporter to that end mike lives by a simple motto. If you cant Say Something nice about someone. That is one of the nicest coats. Reporter youre just not looking hard enough even if its only how nicely they filled out their forms. Natural. Reporter hes been like this with just about every customer everyday for 38 years. Nice suit. Very nice. Reporter how do you keep this up for so long . Youre stumped by that question. This is what i do. Im just myself. Thats all i can do. How is your mom doing. Reporter the man really is pure heart which is part of the reason the lines are so long here. You come in to buy stamps when you dont need stamps. Reporter yes. Thats amazing. Reporter nicole logan is a regular. Because he just makes your day so much better. Thank you mike. Reporter and because kindness begets kindness mike gets quite a few special deliveries himself. The kids that made him grand marshal of the home coming parade. Once in 2000 when the post master told mike he had to take down all the posters and pictures decorating his office office. Now is the time for action. Reporter . The kids took to the street. Mike the mailman is the greatest, most dedicated mail man ive ever met in my entire life. Reporter to think mike has earned this much loyalty and devotion just by talking to them at a counter. A little package. You really have no idea who youre going to influence and when youre going to influence them. Reporter michael akinhead is a High School Teacher in connecticut. He got his masters at penn state. Although he didnt know mike the mailman very well, heres the latest. When he was awarded teacher of the year in his district, guess who he thanked for his success. The one person im always going to remember and probably talking the most about life was actually mike the mailman. It was honestly his example that kind of taught me its not what you do in life but its how you do it. Reporter now thats something to write home about. You take care, all right, son . Osgood still to come oscarnominated Actress Naomi Watts. And layer, a dispatch from india. Al but ill tell you what impresses me. A talking train. This ge locomotive can tell you exactly where it is, what its carrying, while using less fuel. Delivering whatever the world needs, when it needs it.

Reporter december 26, 2004. A massive tsunami tore across Southeast Asia killing some 230,000 people. The world sat stunnedded anxious to help but largely helpless from so far away. At least thats how Actress Naomi Watts felt. When you heard about it just over the news . Yeah, you know just remember turning on the tv and being glued to it. I still felt like there was, you know, it felt like a long way away. Reporter a long way away until, that is watts traveled to the once battered coastal island to film a movie about a tsunami. The impossible. She plays maria. This is a true story of her family vacationing from spain when the tsunami hit. Her realistic performance of a reallife event now has her in the running for an oscar. screaming . Reporter miraculously maria, her husband and all three of her children survived. We talked with her from madrid. I was there. I was there. I was under the water. I was struggling. At the same time in a very very strong way. Reporter at first naomi watts was nervous about playing maria, wondering if it was even appropriate. I dont want her to relive any more trauma. You know, shes clearly been thruway too much. Reporter maria was nervous too. Would hollywood get it right . Besides, she admits, she was a bit star struck. Before this film happened if you asked me which is your favorite actress, i would always answer naomi watts. Reporter when you first met her, you almost didnt say anything. You just sort of held hands. I walked into the room and we just sort of sat opposite each other like this. It was okay to be silent and look at each other. Then her eyes started welling up. Mine did too. I started to cry. I got emotional just remembering this moment. And i said, you know its a big risk to have what you have and i have because youre not going to portray maria. Youre going to portray all the moms during the tsunami. Reporter for six weeks it was shot in a giant water tank. It was challenging for any actor but especially naomi watts. Do you look at the water any differently now . I think i do yeah. Reporter after moving from her native england to australia when she was just 14 she and her mother nearly drowned in a rip tide. What happened . I got to the point where i was getting up. My mom didnt. She found sand. She was able to pull me in. Reporter in the film shes pulled in too. Brought to a group of thai women who dress her and tend to her wounds. Its an emotional scene that watts said she couldnt play without marias help. I just held her hand. I said maria, i just felt all of her energy and all of her you know pain and troubles. Thank you. I gave her all my love. All my love i got from these people back to her so she was able to put on the scene. Reporter naomi watts wanted to be an actress from an early age. She moved to hollywood with a fiveyear plan. But it soon turned into ten. You talk about going to these auditions and just rejection over and over and over again. Yeah. Reporter it does get personal after a while. I mean i consider myself very sensitive, but i dont think a strong person could cope with it over and over again and ten years of it. There were moments where i was sure i was done. Reporter did you ever think about quitting, giving up . Yes. But i didnt have a bplan really. I didnt. Reporter one of her best friends from australia is fellow actress nicole kidman. What advice did she give you . She kept saying, its just going to take one thing. One thing, mate. You know if youre in a hit film or you know, then everything changes. Reporter thats exactly what happened. Thats what happened. She was right. Reporter the film david lynchs. I cant believe it. Reporter did you know that this was going to make the difference . No. Actually, i thought i was doing a ridiculous performance. Everything was sighing . Im like who acts like that . You cant just walk up to a woman you barely know and tell her that. You cant do that. Reporter two years later she was nominatedded for an oscar for 21 grand opposite sean pen. And then came kong. I remember calling up david lynch, my mentor. He said to me naomi, anyone who sits in the hand of King Congress is a movie star for life. laughing . Reporter at 44 she is indeed a movie star with enough watt ak to have taken on the controversial role of playing princess diana, a film due out later this year. I like complicated women.

Reporter shell be missing him especially that night in los angeles when she walks down the most famous red carpet in the world. Would you think your dad would think . Hed be happy. Reporter proud. Yeah. Reporter she will have one very special fan and friend cheering her on from afar. Ill be crossing my fingers from saying, hoping that justice will be made this time. The biggest religious pilgrimage on earth is unfolding this weekend along the banks of the ganges river in india. Holy williams has the dispatch from the city. Todays pilgrims have been gathering from every corner of india and arriving by every conceivable mode of transport. All drawn by their shared devotion to an ancient religion. They come here to purify themselves by bathing in the cold water of the ganges the river that nurtured indias 5,000yearold civilization. This person is a wheat farmer from central india who told us he walked 300 miles to get here. Why did you come from so far away here . He made the journey, he said, because the water has special power. For hindus the ganges is a sacred river. They believe that bathing here during this time will wash away their sins. The pilgrims have set up camp in a sprawling sea of tents that can accommodate tens of millions. Its a place complete with its own police force and traffic jams. Leading the crowds are these men who have announced all material possessions to devote themselves to a spiritual life. One of them is a man who helped explain hindu beliefs including reincarnation. Most of the pilgrims make due with basic conditions but for a wealthy few theres this luxury tented camp where one of the guests is an Indian Princess who normally lives in a palace. Theres something that binds you altogether. In the ganges, in your god. As many as there are. We are one. Reporter a ritual thats been celebrated by hindus for thousands of years in a country of stunning contrasts. It still has the power to draw the faithful. Osgood up next, its not just an elevator. Gcu÷x÷÷qqcxx÷ab osgood it happened this week. The biggest news in music this side of the grammies. We learned of the demise of muzak, not the music just the name. In a rebranding by the Parent Company, muzak has moved. Founded nearly 80 years ago it was the music that got no respect. It was known as mere elevator music. In the 1980s film the blues brother, john bleuchy and dan akroyd find brief musical respite from a kay on thetic Police Pursuit in an Office Building elevator. n . While in 1998 will farrell and chris saw muzaks supposedly hypnotic. Stereotypes aside, muzak has been breaking the mold programming real songs by real artists and according to customers that Richard Schlesinger found in an Ice Cream Store in 1997. Muzak puts you to sleep. Osgood not anymore. A sunday morning visitor muzak South Carolina headquarters back in 2010 we found 2,000 young socalled audio architects programming music for every type of store and business.

Reporter why did you come out here . Well, i came out here about a yearandahalf ago on my first vocal rest after an operation. Reporter big sky country is an ideal escape for a rock star trying to heal. I imagine when you were trying not to use your voice, this is probably a pretty good place to be. Oh, yeah. Watch movies. Cook. Reporter john mayer recently bought a 15acre spread here along the Yellowstone River in western montana. Right here. I dont see how the happiness here doesnt make it to records. Reporter the 35yearold singer came here to recover from vocal surgery and from some selfinflicted wounds in the media. I would think the minute you saw a paparazzi photographer youd want to come back here. You know what . They cant get certain things. They dont know what im thinking. In a way being forced to stop contributing has been the greatest thing in the world because now ive got three years of capital built up with nobody quite knowing whats on my mind. Reporter one of the most successful singer songwriters of the past decade john mayer has scored three numberone albums and seven Grammy Awards. But a succession of celebrity girlfriend s Jessica Simpson jennifer aniston, taylor swift and now katie perry has made him a leading man in the tabloids too. And at times obscured his talents as a guitarist. Do you third your public image ultimately has clouded respect for you as amuse i cannian . Its not ideal. I wish that i was only as well known as i was exposed musically. You know . I really do. Reporter but mayer lost his best known instrument, his voice, when he developed a granuloma on his vocal cords. Surgery removed the growth but it came back. And when we met up with him in october in new york, mayer had just had a botox injection. Through the neck. Reporter a big needle . Its a small enough needle that you dont go totally berserk when you see it. Reporter the treatments meant mayer could not sing. He had to cancel the tour behind his new album. First of all, emotionally super fragile in this period of time. Reporter because . Because it was my job. Reporter he was still anxious a month later. It just doesnt work. Theres not a clear path. Reporter his voice specialist ran a scope down his throat. The picture was encouraging. When you look at it there that looks. Thats really good looking. Looks better. Reporter the growth now barely noticeable had almost healed. This is what it originally looked like. Yeah. This whole big silly ball of tissue that was there. Reporter what does the botox actually do . It paralyzes the muscles so that by paralyzing the muscles you cannot bring the vocal cords together. That allows them to rest so that area isnt banging. Reporter ironically mayer lost his singing voice after he put his foot in his mouth. In two widely quoted interviews. What was more difficult for you, dealing with the sort of the after math of the back lash from the interviews ordealing with not being able to sing . The interviews. Reporter really . Yes. Reporter in conversations with Rolling Stone and playboy in 2010 mayer made some offcolor remarks about race and his previous relationships including calling former girlfriend Jessica Simpson sexual napalm. I was just a jerk. Its hard to convince people to process that. Theyd rather have a quick goto like he was popping x number of pills a day. No i wasnt. I was just a jerk. Reporter how does that happen . Taking every battle on. Not taking a break. Not looking at. Not being honest. Not saying lets admit that we dont know the next step. Reporter most of all whats changed . Its very liberating when you finally realize that its impossible to make everyone like you. Reporter and you wanted everybody to like you . I wanted everybody to like me. I thought i was one shuck and jive away in every direction. Reporter why is it that you think you wanted everybody to like you . Selfconsciousness. Extreme selfconsciousness. It would have been a great Rolling Stone interview if i had said heres whats going on in my life. I had a plan for myself. I have no idea where i am with it. I never saw it coming where i would be thought of as a infamous lethario. I didnt see any of this coming. Im hugely uncomfortable with this and i want to cry. Reporter is it true . Absolutely. Reporter mayer has a quick mind and sometimes he himself cant seem to keep up with it. You talked about overthinking in the past. At one point i think you said overthinking has given me everything in my career. Given me an audience. Its given me a life. Its given me panic attacks. Its given me friends and its given me enemies. Reporter you cant turn that off . Ive learned to turn it down. I dont care nearly as much as i used to about it. Im a good man with a good heart got a rough start but i finally learned to let it go reporter on shadow days the lead single from his newest album, mayer seems to want to put it all behind him. My shadow takes a road i wish that i grew up a year every year of my life. I didnt. I stopped for a certain period of time. When i was 24 for six years or whatever. And then i. The log jam cleared. Im dead on for 35. Reporter and then theres his new relationship with girlfriend katie perry. A person could look at it and say if he wanted to live a private life, he could. Move to montana. Reporter . Or pick a girlfriend with a lower profile. Thats right. Now youre talking about being so ruthless about your public image that youre willing to say to somebody i like you a lot but because of who you are, i dont want to get to know you better. Reporter come on. Youve had a string of extremely high profile girlfriends. I know. I dont feel. For first time i dont feel. I really dont. Im not a high profile its hard to explain. Reporter it doesnt feel like that to me. Great. Im glad. I know what youre saying. Im not denying it. Im saying for me it feels like something thats very human. Reporter do you foresee yourself getting married . Of course. Reporter you do . Of course, yeah. I mean im still the kid from connecticut. Hello whats your name . Reporter last month at a chairity concert in bozeman, montana, one part of mayers journey finally ended. I went to the doctor about a couple weeks ago. We looked at my throalt. The thing is gone. cheers and applause reporter that night he did something he hadnt done in nearly two years. He sang. Reporter his voice is still raspy. It will be months before the full effects of the botox wear off. But this summer mayer will tour again. Playing a song that i can sing reporter his silence ended. John mayer insists from now on hell only say what he needs to say. Do you wish in anyway you could get rid of your public persona . I am so much more mainstream amuse i cannian than i am a person that youd want to get a meal with. Im always going to be a little weird. Im always going to be a little weird. How about that . Okay.

And 5 billion of that for our significant other and nearly 3. 8 billion for other family members. 815 million on our pets. All in all, the average shopper will spend more than 130. Thats up from last year. 1 of us plan to give candy. 36. 6 are giving flowers.

Just dont pick the method our contributor faith salie used reporter its almost valentines day. Were bombarded with symbols of love everywhere. Red, pink, hearts flowers, chocolates but theres another symbol. Multiplying in clusters creeping towards us. The love padlock. If youve been globe trotting lately maybe youve seen this in prague or this in colon or this in seoul or moscow or paris. Love bad locks are a trend in which lovers write their initials on a lock affix it to a picturesque setting and throw away the key forever usually into a river below. Now its spreading like a cancer to north america. Coming to a monument near you. Heres the brooklyn bridge. Its like carve your initials on the coliseum or spray painting ashley plus jason forever on the bridge. Kids, if you have a need to declare your love publicly please do it on your facebook wall not the great wall. Not only are these padlocks unsightly and surely bad for the environment what with all those keys in rivers, theyre a horrible metaphor for love. Real love is more than a onetime seemingly ironclad pledge that we will never be apart. If youre over 20, youve probably figured out that meaningful love isnt constricting. It doesnt chain you to one place or to each other. Mature love allows us to stretch, to grow at different rates. We choose to rejoin over and over. Ideally with renewed appreciation and gratitude. More over throwing away the key . When you offer your partner the key to your hearties not supposed to fling it away. If you must leave your mark i suggest a return to the centuries old tradition of exchanging another kind of lock hair. Its an apt symbol. If you entwine your hair with your beloved you leave something stronger. A braid is essentially a rope which can be a connector and a life line not a shackle. So tie one on to the bridge.

On friday a big asteroid 150 feet wide called 2012da14 is expected to pass some 17,000 miles from earth. Theyre close as asteroids go but they say theres no chance of a collision. On saturday north korea marks the birthday of its late dictator king jong il who died in december of 2011. Earlier Martha Teichner looked at the Public Policy debate over the u. S. Militarys use of drones. For a look at the drones themselves what they can do and what they may be able to do some day we turn to our National Security correspondent david martin. Reporter Richard Phillips captain of the container ship was more than a little grateful when seal team 6 rescued him from somali pirates. He could have also thanked a little known Unmanned Aircraft called scan eagle. While phillips drifted in a life boat at the mercy of three armed pirates, scan eagles kept watch overhead they were giving very good information in realtime to the team that ultimately saved captain phillips reporter in the nearly four years since vice admiral park fox the director of Navy Operations has witnessed a revolution in drone warfare we are very much on the cuss i think, of some remarkable changes in the way that we think about fighting. These Unmanned Systems are part of that. Reporter perhaps the most remarkable is the x47b a sleek test plane currently flying out of the Naval Air Station in maryland. Humans coax it into position for a catapult launch. But after that its flown entirely by computer. Right now its loaded only with instruments, but that could change once the navy proves the x47b can land and take off from a carrier at sea. It will give you options. Maybe we should look at putting ordnance on it as well reporter the x47b could carry 4,000 pounds of weapons and would take the danger out of attacking heavily defended targets obviously if you have an Unmanned Aircraft in a very high threat environment, then you have less risk to the air crewe reporter the navy has been flying drones for several years now but only as surveillance aircraft. Two of these 100 million global hawks are currently flying over the persian gulf we can cover the entire gulf when were up at 60,000 spheet reporter captain jim hoke is the Program Manager for this Unmanned Aircraft which has a wing span nearly that of a commercial airliner but can stay up much longer we burn less than a 10th of what a civil or manned aircraft would burn for fuel so we can stay up for 24 hours on a very little amount of gas. Reporter during those 24 hours, it can track every ship in the persian gulf. Sending the data to the base for analysis and back to american war ships in the gulf. From the time that the picture is taken from the aircraft and getting it back out there is less than seven minutes. Reporter this unmanned helicopter doesnt fly nearly so high but, says captain patrick smith, the fire scout can do things airplanes cant. We can operate from a small deck of a ship or as we have deployments in afghanistan a very small austere site only requiring a landing pad reporter thats right. Afghanistan. And the fire scout is currently flying Surveillance Missions in a war zone. That camera can send Live Television pictures of enemy positions to an operator 100 miles away. In fact a fire scout has already given its life for its country. We did lose an aircraft in libya over a year ago. That was attributed to an enemy action reporter so it got shot down yes, it did. Reporter soon the fire scout will be able to shoot back. Are there plans to put any weapons on here . It intended for us to carry up to six rockets. The testing will complete with that later this year reporter we could make you dizzy by listing all the drones currently in operation. Predator and reaper drones flying air strikes against suspected terrorists in pakistan and yemen. Stealth drones flying spy missions over iran. Theres even one hauling cargo in afghanistan. No one wearing a military uniform will admit it. But the day seems to be coming when a drone can do anything a manned aircraft can do better.
