dynamic region.Beijing, however, sees it as specifically designed to contain
China's diplomatic, military, and economic rise, and has sought to reassure
Asian nations that China poses no threat to them. Despite that, China's
fast-growing military and increasingly firm assertions of its territorial
claims have concerned many countries, pushing them to seek stronger relations
with the U.S., the region's traditional military superpower.The pivot will
see 60 percent of the Navy's fleet be deployed to the Pacific
by 2020. Singapore will be home to four new U.S. Littoral Combat
Ships designed to fight close to shorelines, while Indonesia is looking
to buy a broad range of American hardware and take part in
joint maneuvers. The Philippines is seeking to host more U.S. troops on
a rotating basis and Australia has agreed to allow up to 2,500
Marines to deploy to the northern city of Darwin.Meanwhile, in the face
of natural disasters and North Korean threats, U.S. military relations with
treaty partners South Korea and Japan are closer than ever.In its report,
the Defense Ministry again sought to assuage concerns about its more than

raised and travel advisories put in place."The (Boston) attacks mean that
we will be assessing our security protocols," said a British security official
who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to
be publicly named. "There is some initial information coming out ... but
it is too early to draw any conclusions. There doesn't appear at
this point, however, to be a wider threat."Security was particularly tight
for the big events in Britain, which has been at the heart
of several terror attacks in the past decade, including suicide bombings
in 2005 that killed 52 people. Several international terror plots have also
been traced back to suspects in Britain.Workers are inspecting some of the
country's 4.3 million CCTV cameras in high-traffic areas around London to
ensure views are unobstructed and equipment is functioning. Workers in an
underground bunker monitor the footage around the clock.Boosting security
may also include adding manpower, increasing air visibility and securing
public transport routes. Police and counter-terrorism officials are also
aggressively monitoring potential suspects.More than 37,000 runners will
be at Sunday's London Marathon. Other marathons are also being held across
the world this weekend in in countries across Europe, in Japan, South

law enforcement officials were in a "heightened state of vigilance," with
increased patrols, authorities said.Security was also tightened at sports
venues across the U.S., though most events were held as planned.The exceptions
were in Boston itself, where Monday night's NHL game between the Bruins
and Ottawa Senators was postponed and Tuesday's NBA game between the Celtics
and Indiana Pacers was canceled.Officials announced plans for security reviews
of upcoming marathons and road races in cities large and small.Race officials
for the Illinois Marathon in Champaign and Urbana, Illinois, said they were
already fielding calls from worried runners and their families and planned
to meet Wednesday to discuss more security measures such as bomb-sniffing
dogs._____Associated Press reporters Nataliya Vasilyeva in Moscow, Colleen
