    Orlando, Florida-AP -- Animal lovers looking for a job -- here's a ducky prospect.

    A luxury hotel in Orlando, Florida is accepting applications for a Duck Master.

    The successful candidate needs to be outgoing and have a love for all living creatures -- especially North American mallard ducks.

    So just what does a Duck Master do?

    A spokeswoman for The Peabody Orlando hotel says the duck master will train baby ducks to become a team -- and eventually perform the hotel's March of the Peabody Ducks.

    The job comes with a "smashing" uniform, too.

    Spokeswoman Maureen Gonzalez says the lucky applicant will get a crimson jacket, black pants and a silk tie with duck motifs.

    He or she also will carry a ceremonial cane with a brass duck head.

    No word on how much the job pays.

    They're seriously hurting for people these days, which means competition for both promotions and openings within their non-highway patrol divisions are easier to come by.

    Texas Facing Hundreds of Trooper Vacancies

    Dallas Morning News
    A Texas program to boost the law enforcement presence along the U.S.-Mexico border by temporarily reassigning state troopers from other parts of the state is contributing to a critical personnel shortage in the Texas Department of Public Safety, according to a state audit.

    An audit of the department by a state commission found that the program, dubbed Operation Border Star, contributed to DPS' "critical personnel shortage, weakening its ability to protect the public."

    Critics of the program charge the result is an increased presence in border areas such as the Rio Grande Valley, but a scarcity in other parts of the state, The McAllen Monitor reported.

    "We see dissatisfaction from troopers who feel they are not allowed to actually do their enforcement jobs," said Claude Hart, executive director of the Texas State Troopers Association - a statewide union comprised of 1,400 DPS employees. "Rather they just ride around maintaining a presence."

    Gov. Rick Perry started Operation Border Star in 2007 to help combat drug smuggling and other crime along the border.

    DPS declined to say how many troopers are assigned to Border Star at any one time, but the audit determined that the program "causes a loss of personnel available to focus on traditional law enforcement duties."

    There are more than 314 vacancies for commissioned officers in the department.

    In a memo to his superiors made public earlier this year, Sgt. Adam Kinslow, who was assigned to the security detail at the state Capitol, warned that operations like Border Star had compromised his ability to protect visitors and state property.

    "Not only do we not have the manpower to spare, many of the troopers we are sending to the border lack current training and recent experience in patrol procedures, which is unsafe for them and the public," Kinslow wrote. "By sending troopers to Operation Border Star, security is weakened at the Capitol."

    Ten days after he sent his memo, the Governor's Mansion was destroyed by arson.

    Department spokesman Tim Vinger said Operation Border Star cant be blamed for the vacancies. During the past four years, state legislators have created more than 266 new commissioned officer positions, inlcuding 80 primarily designated for the border region. The department also loses about 200 commissioned officers a year through retirements, terminations and voluntary attrition.

    DPS expects to add 80 new troopers statewide from an upcoming class of recruits in September, Vinger said.

    Dances -- Ohhhhh, man!

    This is obviously a British-run outfit. The Peabody? A "smashing" uniform? Marching ducks? Now, a line of DUKWs, I could handle.

    in the movie "This Property
    Is Condemned"with Natalie Wood,
    and Robert Redford?

    There was a scene,where
    they were talking about
    ducks and aligators in
    the same pond at the
    Peabody hotel.In Memphis,
    that is.
