4. Paunang balita (Advanced news) US deploys first advanced drones to Japan By Eric Talmadge (Associated Press) | Updated May 31, 2014 - 2:40am MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan ¡ª The U.S. Air Force has deployed two of its most advanced long-distance surveillance drones to a base in northern Japan over the past week, enhancing its ability to monitor nuclear activities in North Korea and Chinese naval operations. The deployment of the two unarmed Global Hawk drones to Japan, a key U.S. ally, is intended to demonstrate Washington's commitment to security in Asia as part of its rebalancing of forces to the Pacific. But it will likely rankle with China and North Korea, which have been working to improve their own unmanned aircraft fleets. Lt. Gen. Sam Angelella, commander of U.S. Forces Japan, said Friday the drones will remain here until October, when the typhoon season on the drones' home base on the Pacific island of Guam is over. Similar rotations from Guam to Misawa are expected in the future, though Angelella said no firm plans have been made. He refused to comment on the specific missions the drones will carry out but noted that the Global Hawk's "capabilities are well known." The drone is considered particularly valuable because it can conduct long-range missions without the limitations of pilot fatigue, is able to fly at a maximum 60,000 feet (18.3 kilometers) and can "loiter" around any particular site of interest for 24 hours or more.

6. Bulliten at Flash 'Almost certainly extra terrestrial' - Meteor lights up night sky across New Zealand 7:28 AM Thursday Feb 12, 2015 A "blinding" flash, intense explosion and sonic booms experienced over much of the country last night were probably caused by a meteor, experts agree. About 10pm, the flash, described by many as a burst of blue and white light, was seen from Whangarei to the upper South Island. WeatherWatch.co.nz, which has a dedicated meteors page, received dozens of comments. "This was an exceptionally bright flash of light across the country, with many people saying they heard sonic booms that scared them and the animals," head weather analyst Philip Duncan said. 'Almost certainly extra terrestrial' Meteorite expert and former publisher of Meteorite Magazine Joel Schiff said he did not see last night's event in person, but based on footage he had seen online it was "almost certainly some extra terrestrial material". "It's either that or it's going to be space craft debris," he said. He said he didn't believe it was a meteor, and called it a fire ball. "Meteors are just those little streaks of light that people see every night of the week, they're just the size of a grain of sand and they come generally from comets. They have nothing to do with this episode.
7. Tugaygay na balita (Follow up news) Why Ebola is so dangerous The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is the world's deadliest to date and the World Health Organization has declared an international health emergency as more than 3,850 people have died of the virus in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria this year. What is Ebola? Ebola is a viral illness of which the initial symptoms can include a sudden fever, intense weakness, muscle pain and a sore throat, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). And that is just the beginning: subsequent stages are vomiting, diarrhoea and - in some cases - both internal and external bleeding. The disease infects humans through close contact with infected animals, including chimpanzees, fruit bats and forest antelope. It then spreads between humans by direct contact with infected blood, bodily fluids or organs, or indirectly through contact with contaminated environments. Even funerals of Ebola victims can be a risk, if mourners have direct contact with the body of the deceased.

Lathalang balita (Feature news) NOAA¡¯s New Deep Space Solar Monitoring Satellite Launched February 11, 2015 A new mission to monitor solar activity is now making its way to an orbit one million miles from Earth. The Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at 6:03 p.m. EST Wednesday from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. DSCOVR, a partnership among the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NASA and the U.S. Air Force, will provide NOAA space weather forecasters more reliable measurements of solar wind conditions, improving their ability to monitor potentially harmful solar activity. NASA received funding from NOAA to refurbish the DSCOVR spacecraft and its solar wind instruments for this mission. The work was completed at NASA¡¯s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD, where a team developed the command and control portion of the spacecraft¡¯s ground segment, and manages the launch and activation of the satellite. Following successful activation of the satellite and check-out approximately 150 days after launch, NASA will hand over operations of DSCOVR to NOAA. ¡°DSCOVR is the latest example of how NASA and NOAA work together to leverage the vantage point of space to both understand the science of space weather and provide direct practical benefits to us here on Earth,¡± said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator of NASA¡¯s Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

12. Balitang Investigatib Threat of Islamic State hits home in Asia AKIHIRO SANO, Nikkei staff writer AMMAN, Jordan -- The hostage crisis involving two Japanese citizens came to the worst end imaginable, underscoring the grim reality that Asia is coming under increasing threat from the Islamic State terrorist group. On Jan. 31, days after the militant organization released an online video purportedly showing the slain body of Japanese hostage Haruna Yukawa, Islamic State distributed a similar video, this one claiming it had killed Japanese journalist Kenji Goto. Japan's frantic effort to secure Goto's release through a hostage swap came to a sudden end. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe immediately condemned Goto's killing. "I am speechless when I think of the pain of his family," Abe told members of his cabinet at a meeting to discuss the situation early on the morning of Feb. 1, Japan time. "The government has tried everything, and I am truly disappointed that it ended like this." Japanese "nightmare" The video shows a masked Islamic militant holding a knife and reading a message to the Japanese government and Abe. Goto, wearing an orange jumpsuit, is kneeling at his side. The militant says he is going to kill Goto because of Japan's "reckless decision to take part in an unwinnable war" and that Islamic State will "carry on and cause carnage" wherever Japanese people are found. He added the chilling phrase, "Let the nightmare for Japan begin."
