PH, US launch joint exercises near China-claimed waters

Thousands of Philippine and US marines on Monday began military exercises close to flashpoints in the South China Sea (West Philippine Sea), where Beijing is engaged in a bitter territorial with its neighbors.

The 12-day amphibious landing exercises -- involving about 3,500 US marines and sailors and 1,200 Filipino counterparts -- were officially launched from the western island of Palawan, directly facing the South China Sea.

China claims the sea almost in its entirety, and its increasingly assertive efforts to stake its claims have heightened tensions with neighbors including the Philippines, which has conflicting claims to parts of these waters.

But Philippine marine spokesman Lieutenant Jerber Anthony Belonio stressed that the location of the opening ceremonies was not linked to the territorial dispute.

"This has no relation whatsoever. This is just to show the capabilities of our new marine landing brigade which coincidentally is based in Palawan," he told AFP.

The Philippines has recently been beefing up its military assets in Palawan, the country's main outpost to the South China Sea which is a vital sealane, a valuable fishing ground and which is believed to hold vast mineral resources.

The poorly-equipped military has also recently been boosting its ties with defense allies -- particularly the United States, its former colonial power -- in the face of Chinese saber-rattling.

The US Marine Corps said the exercises would "enhance the interoperability between US Navy and Marine Corps forces and their Philippine counterparts with a focus on improving our bilateral response to regional issues and maritime security crises".

This year's exercises will include small arms and artillery live-fire training, a mechanized assault and paratroop operations.

The USS Peleliu, a US amphibious assault ship, along with two support ships, arrived at the former US Subic naval base on the weekend to take part in the exercises.

In April, the two allies signed a new defence accord giving US forces greater access to Filipino bases as part of a US rebalancing of military power towards rising Asia, which is seen by many analysts as a check to the emerging power of China.

Although the United States has taken no side in the territorial disputes, it has warned China against taking "destabilizing actions" in the South China Sea.

The sea is claimed in parts by Vietnam, Taiwan, Brunei, and Malaysia as well as China and the Philippines.

China has been involved in a string of tense maritime incidents with rival claimants in the South China Sea. Earlier this year it placed an oil rig in waters also claimed by Vietnam, sparking deadly riots in the Southeast Asian nation.

Philippines UN peacekeepers to guard pope’s Francis visit

The Philippines has assigned a thousand-strong force of its United Nations peacekeepers to help guard Pope Francis when he visits Asia’s main Catholic outpost next January, the military said Sunday.

The papal security force will include more than 300 soldiers who were withdrawn from the UN-administered Golan Heights buffer zone after the unit fought off an attack by Syrian rebels last month.
“We believe that their exposure and experience in peacekeeping operations in Syria will be beneficial toward the successful security of Pope Francis’s papal visit to the Philippines,” said a statement quoting military chief General Gregorio Catapang.

Two battalions of Filipino UN peacekeepers, including those withdrawn from the Golan Heights as well as those who had been training to replace them, will join a police-led security detail for the pope, he added.

A Filipino battalion comprises about 500 soldiers.
The Philippines earlier announced it would not replace its Golan Heights troops due to the worsening security there.

The local Catholic church leadership said Pope Francis will be in the Philippines from January 15-19 and will visit the survivors of Super Typhoon Haiyan, which left about 7,300 people dead across the central Philippines in November last year.

Philippine politicians have said Filipino Islamic militants, some of who have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State jihadists fighting in Iraq and Syria, could pose a threat during the papal visit.
The Philippine government has said there are no known links between the two groups, and that the Filipino militants are merely associating themselves with the jihadists to elevate their profile and for financial gain.

CAAP inspector axed for allowing flight of Jesse Robredo's plane

 The Office of the Ombudsman dismissed on Friday the airworthiness inspector of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) who approved the flight of the ill-fated plane carrying the late Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo in 2012.

Radio reports said that Fernando Abalos was found guilty of falsifying public documents and clearing test flight results of the aircraft that crashed off Masbate in August 2012, killing Robredo and two pilots.

The Ombudsman resolution stemmed from a criminal and administrative complaint filed by CAAP Director General William Hotchkiss, accusing Abalos of violating Republic Act 9497, the act creating the CAAP.

Abalos was suspended for 90 days in 2012 following the plane crash.

US craft to study Martian air

NASA’s latest Mars spacecraft, Maven, arrived Sunday evening to study the mystery of what happened to the planet’s air.

After a 33-minute engine firing, mission controllers received acknowledgment at about 10:25 p.m. Eastern time that Maven was in orbit around Mars.

After a six-week period to turn on and check systems on the spacecraft and to move it to its final orbit, Maven – the name is short for Martian Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution – is to take detailed measurements of the dynamics of Mars’ upper atmosphere.

But first, it will have a sideshow, taking observations of a comet that, by rare happenstance, will make a close flyby of Mars on Oct. 19, passing within 82,000 miles. Mission managers have arranged to activate Maven’s eight scientific sensors by then.

Bruce M. Jakosky, a professor of geological sciences at the University of Colorado who is the mission’s principal investigator, said the spacecraft would spend five days observing how the comet’s dust, traveling at 125,000 mph, might heat up and expand Mars’ atmosphere, and how water ice from the comet might bump up the levels of hydrogen.

As a precaution, Maven will be on the other side of Mars when the shower of comet dust is heaviest. “Just in case there’s any dust that might hit us, we’ll be shielded by the planet,” Jakosky said.

On Monday, he will turn his attention to the coming science measurements. Planetary scientists believe that about 4 billion years ago, Mars was blanketed with a thick layer of air – heat-trapping carbon dioxide, in particular – that kept it warmer and wetter than it is today.

Reporter drops F-bomb on live TV

A local TV news reporter in Anchorage, Alaska quit her job Sunday night in dramatic fashion - delivering the news live on the air and dropping an F-bomb for good measure.

Charlo Greene, a reporter for CBS affiliate KTVA, was doing a report on efforts to legalize marijuana in the state when she abruptly revealed that she was the owner of the Alaskan Cannabis Club, a group that connects medical marijuana patients with suppliers.

"Now everything you heard is why I, the actual owner of the Alaska Cannabis Club, will be dedicating all of my energy toward fighting for freedom and fairness which begins with legalizing marijuana here in Alaska," she said.

"And as for this job, well, not that I have a choice but, f**k it, I quit."

Greene then walked off the set, leaving a startled news anchor struggling to find words at the news desk. "Alright we apologize for that," the anchor said. "We'll... we'll be right back."

The Alaska Cannabis Club had posted a message to Facebook earlier in the evening, tipping its followers - "EVERYONE" - to tune into KTVA for the newscast.

Greene has since raised over $1,000 at the online crowdfunding site Indiegogowhere she says she is "campaigning for marijuana reform in Alaska and the nation."

On the site, she states: "I just quit my news reporting job on live TV to announce that I am redirecting all of my energy toward helping to end a failed drug policy that has ruined the lives of far too many Americans."

Japan’s new asteroid hunting initiation

The Japanese space scientists have revealed the hunting for space investigation which is going to launch this year itself for the quarry of the celestial body.

The initiative named as Hayabusa-2 is going to toss into the space for the long four year voyage to the asteroid -named 1999JU3. The time it reaches to the asteroid somewhere in 2018 it is going to launch a powerful gun that is going to fire a metal billet at the asteroid’s barren crust  and then it will collect the material which comes out from the cannon blast. If the plan works with full expectation the particles of the asteroid will come to Earth in the year 2020.

In a press conference the project leader at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Hitoshi Kuninaka said that his team is working very hard to make all the possibilities happen for this long voyage. He also said that he is very happy that the asteroid probe has just come to an end and very few work is remaining for the final journey. The company has also send an asteroid explorer earlier which came back to earth in 2010 with dust samples after a long seven year journey and its name was Hayabusa.

The spherical 1999JU3 asteroid, which is a kilometer across, contains significantly more organic matter and water than the potato-shaped rock previously studied by the original Hayabusa. This is going to help in solving the mysteries of the solar system and its 4.6 billion years ago origin. Also the scientists at JAXA said that the new Hayabusa-2 is based on the earlier work of the first model that was only able to get the dust particles which have been altered by the various forms of energy in the space in its long journey.

 The scientists say that after all the shortcomings like the communication breakage and the damages to the motors it was still the most successful project in the field of science. The whole project has added a feather into the hat of the Japan and there were several feature films that got inspired from the project. The scientists are hoping that this will also be a great success in the space and will provide the information that will be used for the  study.

Asteroid Will Pass Within 25,000 Miles of Earth

Nato announces new discoveries. There is a newly discovered small asteroid will pass very close to Earth on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2014. The estimated 60-foot asteroid will approximately approach 25,000 miles over New Zealand.
