MORE than 80 percent of respondents in 11 countries in the Asia-Pacific region except for Japan said Japan's plan of dumping nuclear-contaminated water into the sea is "irresponsible" and nearly 90 percent of respondents showed negative sentiments such as worries and shock toward the plan, and 94 percent of them deemed such move will have a negative effect not only on Japan and Pacific Rim countries but also the whole world, a survey conducted by the Global Times Research Center found. The survey result is released as International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director-General Rafael Grossi is scheduled to start a visit to Japan from Tuesday to Friday and see the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant while the organization is called to fulfill its responsibilities and respond to media reports which claimed that Japanese officials imposed inappropriate influence on the IAEA comprehensive review report by making political donations.

Goldwyn Monteverde insists on finding more ways for his souped-up University of the Philippines (UP) squad to improve even after ruling a preseason tournament that clearly showed the Maroons' ability to regain the UAAP crown. 'We're treating it day-to-day,' Monteverde said when asked if the Fighting Maroons' triumph in the FilOil EcoOil Preseason Cup last Wednesday would create added pressure in their UAAP bid later in the year. UP defeated De La Salle University, 87-76, in the final held in San Juan City to take the title of the tourney that is used as a dress rehearsal before the collegiate basketball season kicks off in September.

Alex Wong/Getty Images (WASHINGTON) -- The nation is barreling toward what could become one the largest government shutdowns in U.S. history beginning Oct. 1, with each of a dozen bills needed to keep funding flowing mired in Congress. Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security payments won't be affected. Neither will the U.S. Postal Service, which uses its own revenue stream. Still, union officials and other experts estimate the scope of this shutdown is on track to eclipse past spending lapses, with as many as 4 million workers affected -- about half of which are active-duty military and reservists.
