The Northern defense forces have been instructed to deal with this problem and perform with a plan to protect Russia from space tourists, "

Moscow (Reuters)-Russia's air defense forces will develop a series of actions aimed at protecting Russia from the debris land meteorites and other space objects are dangerous, said the District Commander of Western military aviation Maj. Igor Makushev, Wednesday.

"The Northern defense forces have been instructed to deal with this problem and perform with a plan to protect Russia from space tourists," said Makushev.

This announcement comes a few days after the meteorite enters the Earth's atmosphere that is detected by means of space probes and hit Ural, Russia, on Friday.

Meteor debris caused the big bang, which blew out Windows and damaging thousands of buildings around the city of Chelyabinsk, as well as injuring 1,200 people in the area.

According to the Ministry of health, 52 people were treated at the hospital.

NASA estimates the meteorite with a diameter of approximately 50 feet (15 meters) when it entered the Earth's atmosphere, streaking is faster than the speed of sound, and exploded into a ball of fire brighter than the Sun.

"There is no system that exists, both Russia and America, which detects objects in this space until it enters the atmosphere," said the Director of the Astronomical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of Russia Boris Shustov, Wednesday.

Scientists say it is impossible to find meteorites, such as it came from the direction of the Sun, while the radar set to detect objects flying in the range of specified speed.

Shustov said scientists estimate Russia energy released when an explosion equal to less than 500 kilotons.

He also said astronomers have discovered and cataloged just two percent of the potentially dangerous space objects with the size of about 50 meters, capable of causing a disaster worse than the Tunguska Catastrophe.

"This is a sign of our ignorance, because we must be able to monitor around at least 90 percent if not all objects that exist," RIA Novosti quoted Shustov said.

TOKYO | Sun Oct 23, 2011 6:42pm EDT

TOKYO (Reuters) - Military data on weapons including warplanes and information on nuclear power plants may have been stolen during the cyber attack against Mitsubishi Heavy Industries that became apparent in August, the Asahi newspaper reported on Monday.

It is unclear if the military data, which includes information on defense equipment that Japan's Defense Ministry had ordered, is deemed as sensitive defense information, the Asahi said , citing a source close to the matter.

Mitsubishi Heavy, Japan's biggest weapons supplier, said last month that network information such as IP addresses may have been leaked but that it had so far not confirmed any leaks on its products or technologies.

Irish Tenor Lends Voice to American Military

The Irish don't keep all the luck to themselves, which is exactly why tenor Anthony Kearns, of the famous Irish Tenors, is teaming up with fellow Irishman Bono's ONE organization to raise money for the USO and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund on October 20 at the Embassy of New Zealand in D.C.

Kearns first lent his perfectly-pitched voice to the American military last year when he sang for the USO's wounded Warrior Program at the New Zealand Embassy. [Read column by Michelle Obama about putting veterans back to work.]

"I'm honored to participate once again in this fantastic event hosted by Ambassador Moore and the ONE Campaign. Last year's event was truly inspirational – and I appreciate what New Zealand did to make it happen. I take pleasure singing at events where my music can help soothe wounds and be an inspiration and uniting force for peace throughout the world," he said.

In next week's invitation-only event, he is likely to also join with actor Robert DeNiro, a spokesman for for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. [Check out U.S. News Weekly, now available as an iPad app.]

Kearns, who fancies himself a historian, says he feels indebted to the U.S. military for keeping peace in the world. Over the past year, he performed at the National Memorial Day parade during the Moment of Remembrance, at events to raise money for educational scholarships for military families and at the Kennedy Center's choral tribute to military families. [See photos of U.S. troops in Afghanistan. ]

He's even thrown himself into American politics, flying from Dublinto sing the famous ballad, "Danny Boy," for Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell's inauguration party.

The USO is known for hosting great entertainers and Jan Scruggs, the founder and president of Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, says Kearns fits the bill for his joint fundraiser.

"Events during Vietnam brought us Ann Margret, Sammy Davis Jr., Nancy Sinatra and the greatest wartime entertainer of all, Bob Hope. Anthony Kearns fits that tradition well—and we're honored that he's performing," says Scruggs.

Kearns isn't the first Irishman to help an American soldier out. There is a long history of the Irish lending their clover mojo to Americans in combat, dating back to the Civil war when Abraham Lincoln credited the 69th Irish brigade with helping to win the war for the Union, And today there are Irish soldiers deployed in Iraq patrolling the "Irish Route" — one of the most dangerous roads in Baghdad.

Military chaplains allowed to officiate at gay weddings

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

WASHINGTON | Fri Sep 30, 2011 12:57pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Military chaplains will be allowed to officiate at same-sex weddings under new guidelines following repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy on gays serving openly in the military, the Pentagon said on Friday.

A chaplain may participate in or officiate at any private ceremony on or off a military installation as long as the ceremony is not barred by state and local laws, the Defense Department said in a statement.

Chaplains do not have to officiate at ceremonies that go against their religious tenets, it said.

The repeal of the Defense Department policy that barred homosexuals from serving openly in the military took effect on September 20. More than 14,000 U.S. service members were thrown out under the rule, which dated from 1993.

The new guidelines approved by General Counsel Jeh Johnson and Clifford Stanley, the undersecretary for personnel and readiness, said that decisions on use of military property should be made on a "sexual-orientation neutral" basis, the statement said.

Six states and the District of Columbia allow same-sex marriage. Thirty-nine states specifically ban it.
