All about Sable
Pet Tip
Dogs in Mourning – Pet tip 246
Dogs are extremely sensitive animals and can feel many of the same emotions that humans feel. Although many seasoned dog owners already know this, newer dog owners are often surprised by the depth of some of the emotions that dogs can feel. We all know that dogs can be very happy creatures; their broad wagging tails give them away every time. But dogs are capable of feeling more complex emotions than just happiness. At the other end of the spectrum there is sadness and depression and dogs are capable of feeling these emotions. Perhaps there is no greater testament to this fact then when a dog's owner or another dog from the household dies

Sable was one of the sweetest rabbits. She was just a little tiny baby of no more than 2 months and she loved to give kisses. She gave kisses to everyone and they were so sweet. She had beautiful violet eyes and a very fluffy coat. She was so young that I did not get to see what her personality could have developed into but I know she would have been a very loving bunny. She is sadly missed by mommy and daddy and her 2 brothers and 2 sisters. We love you little one.

Chris Testa KD2BMH and I have been working for years on a software-defined transceiver that would be FCC-legal and could communicate using essentially any mode and protocol up to 1 MHz wide on frequencies between 50 and 1000 MHz.
Chris Testa KB2BMH taught a class on gate-array programming the SmartFusion chip, a Linux system and programmable gate-array on a single chip, using MyHDL, the Python Hardware Design Language to implement a software-defined radio transceiver.
A couple months ago I picked up a RTL2832U dongle to use with SDR#. I've been testing 433Mhz RF modules, and wanted to figure out what kind of wire antenna works best.
Antenna theory is rather complicated, and designing an efficient antenna involves a number of factors including matching the output impedance of the transmitter. Since I don't have detailed specs on the RF transmitter modules, I decided to try a couple different antenna designs, and use RTL-SDR to measure their performance.
I tried a 1/4-wave monopole wire antenna on the RTL dongle, and got 2-3dB better signal reception at 433Mhz than the stock antenna. I tried a full-wave (69cm) wire antenna, and it performed better than the stock antenna, but slightly worse than the 1/4-wave monopole.
]]>It hasn't become a household term yet, but Software-Defined Radio (SDR) is a major player on the developing technology front. Whether you're building products for mass consumption, or just playing around for fun, SDR is worth knowing something about and I'll prove it to you.
Radio used to be a lot harder. On the communications side of things you could buy an expensive radio receiver and/or transmitter that required a skilled operator to use. At a lower level, you would be looking at choosing a specific band and dealing with things like modulator, mixer, and filter design, along with plenty of roadblocks to manufacturing which would also lock you into a specific application.
Software-Defined Radio solves some of these problems by allowing you to control how the radio hardware functions based on software. The advent of this has also been boosted by the availability of inexpensive hardware produced at scale. It is not the end-all of radio, but it makes the problem easier. That has led to wider adoption but we think what has been seen so far is only the tip of the iceberg.
The whole point of SDR is less need for specialized hardware. One module can address a wide range of uses, even those that are currently unknown.
In the next section I'm going to talk about the DVB-T dongle seen here. But one important thing to realize about it is that the chip inside this device is an SDR and is already in use commercially. The versatility of the chipset inside proves the point that SDR is a viable choice in consumer hardware
The thing that really turned my head was the advent of what is known as RTL-SDR. This is the practice of using television tuner USB dongles for Software-Defined Radio. That's right, these "DVB Sticks" are made to watch broadcast television on a computer but inside is a Realtek 2832U.
Connecting the dongle to your computer and launching some software allows you to listen in — both audible signals and transmitted data — on all kinds of things.
Don't be afraid of this, these are receivers-only so you need no license or prior training. We've seen these morph into automated airplane filming rigs and you could end up adding to the flight tracking data network of FlightAware. The Grand Prize winners of the 2014 Hackaday Prize even built a satellite receiving station around a DVB dongle!
For getting started, and well-targetted applications, these dongles are a good option. But they are limited from around 22MhZ to 2200Mhz depending on which particular dongle you have. Going beyond those limits requires a jump to different hardware.
]]>We especially like it that you don't need a license to operate the basic model — the transmitting circuits aren't enabled when it arrives. This means you can learn about SDR, explore what's going on over the airwaves, and only then take the leap by applying for your license and hack the unit to transmit.
PSDR – Pocket HF SDR Transceiver with VNA and GPS
Reading the AcuRite 5n1 Sensor Set, This time with RF
I've managed to read the RF signal coming from the AcuRite weather head.
This the tuner chip that is used in digital TV that has been hooked to a USB interface and enclosed in a plastic case. The chip is a RTL2832 and has a huge bandwidth; it can be used to receive AM, FM, SSB, etc all the way up past the 900MHz range that the AcuRite transmits on.
So, I downloaded a great tool for doing this kind of thing called SDRsharp and installed it on my laptop.
Notice in the bottom panel that there are three different signals that are on almost exactly the same frequency? Yep, I'm picking up three devices up in the 433MHz area and any one of them could be what I'm looking for. After a bunch of looking, it turns out the first one I found is the one I want, but how to I get the data out of it? Heck, how do I separate the one I want from the others?
This has already been solved for us under Linux by a tool called rtl_433.
Next, there's a Linux library that supports this and a really cool tool you can run on your PC to play around. The tool is called SDRsharp and has a dedicated website
The Linux library is called rtl_sdr
Just build rtl_433 from my copy.
Now, you are almost ready to actually read the RF from the weatherstation, but (another one of those) the decoder included with rtl_433 is wrong.
So, I put together my own version that decodes my weatherhead and corresponds with the console. These changes are part of the zip file you downloaded; you don't have to do anything special.
Remember way above I told you to write down the frequency you found the weather head transmitting on? This is where you may have to use it. If it drifted far enough, you won't get a good signal from the transmitter up on the roof or out in the yard. You can simply specify the frequency you want to listen to with the '-f' parameter like this:
rtl_433 -f 433.915e6
This means to set the receiver at 433.915 MHz.
There's still some stuff to be done from my perspective, I want to put some code in to present the data as a JSON string
Back in Dec I ordered a 433mhz receiver and transmitter from e-Bay that I was going to hook to my Raspi to read my Acurite 5-in-1. After about 6 weeks I finally received it from China. I paid $1.56
I've had a chance to play with these SDR "dongles" for awhile now off and on. For those truly into it, there's a software package called GNU Radio that's worth looking into. Back to the dongle, be sure to "calibrate" it first. Listen to a known frequency, for example the weather.
]]>[Texane] built a low-cost software defined radio rig which could be remotely controlled. This allows the hardware to be placed outside for better reception, while being controlled from any PC that can connect over TCP. To do this, he created a fork of librtlsdr, the library used to turn cheap TV tuners into software defined radios.
The official release of rtl-sdr includes the rtl_tcp utility, which is meant for this purpose. Unfortunately, not all of the SDR tools for Linux support this. By modifying the library itself, remote devices interact with software in the same way as local devices. This means that any software that supports librtlsdr should work.
The outdoor rig contains a BeagleBone Black and the SDR hardware, sealed up in a weather-resistant box.
]]>[Simon Aubury] has been using a Raspberry Pi and SDR to record video of planes passing overhead.
Simon used two hobby servos and some brackets to gimbal his Pi camera board. A DVB dongle allows the rig to listen in on the Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) coming from the planes. This system is mandated for most commercial aircraft
The Pi Plane Project
The Pi Plane Project tracks planes the fly over my house; records a short video – and uploads the clips onto the web.
Using some inexpensive components, we can build a receiver to listen to these ADS-B signals to track these aircraft as they fly overhead.
To create your own (or if you plan to rob me; you can score) …
Raspberry Pi – a very inexpensive credit-card sized computer
Powered USB hub – allows the peripheral parts to connect and be fed
DVB-T & RTL-SDR Receiver, RTL2832U – helps receive and decode aircraft transmissions
GPIO Kit for Raspberry Pi, T-Cobbler – connects the Raspberry Pi to outputs such as the servo motors
PT Pan/Tilt Camera Platform Camera Mount w/ 2 Servo – a pre-assembled platform to allow 2-axis of movement for the camera
Raspberry Pi Camera Board – a CMOS camera suitable for the Raspberry Pi
LCD Display: lcd1602 – an LCD display panel
I used a RTL2832U as a software defined radio (SDR). This is a USB stick (a TV "dongle"), designed for digital TV on a computer.
On the Pi I installed Dump1090 – which does a fine job of understanding the data packets transmitter by a planes transponders. The Dump1090 suite of programs can also display the locations and track of aircraft on a map, but all of this visual trickery was unnecessary for my project

]]>RTL-SDR, the USB TV tuner turned software-defined radio is an amazing device, capable of listening to nearly anything from 25MHz to 1750MHz, fits in your pocket, and costs about $20. Even more astonishing is that it's also a kinda-okay spectrum analyzer. [Kerry D. Wong] tested out one of these USB TV tuner, and the results are exactly what you would expect: it lacks a little precision, and sampling bandwidth is only a tiny bit terrible, but it does work.

Wong] tested out one of these USB TV tuner, and the results are exactly what you would expect: it lacks a little precision, and sampling bandwidth is only a tiny bit terrible, but it does work.
Testing an RTL-SDR Spectrum Analyzer
While the typical operating frequency range for these SDR's is specified as 25MHz-1750MHz, the actual performance varies depending on the particular unit as this frequency range is not guaranteed (particularly on the high frequency side) by the chip.
There are many open source software packages we can choose from for spectrum analysis. One thing to note though is that many of the "scanner" software actually are not quite suitable for this task. For instance, I tried rtlsdr-scanner and noticed that the measured spectrum is distorted regardless of the FFT length and dwell time settings. A few other scanner packages I tried also exhibit similar issue.
So I turned to some of the more popular SDR radio software packages such as SDR# and Gqrx SDR. SDR# renders the spectrum reasonably well but the signal amplitude reading seems to be off, at least I couldn't seem to be able to find a way to set the gain correctly to reflect the actual signal strength. Gqrx SDR is the first software suite I found that rendered the spectrum correctly and reported the signal strength in the ballpark. It also has a quite polished user interface and is extremely easy to use.
One significant limitation of the RTL-SDR is that it's real-time sampling bandwidth is limited to 3 MHz, which means if the frequency range is wider than 3 MHz multiple hops must be made in order to cover the entire spectrum. Since switching frequency band is a relatively slow operation scanning a frequency span of 30 MHz can take significant amount of time especially when the FFT size is large.
So RTL-SDR based spectrum analyzer is best suited for analyzing quasi-stationary signals and in situations where accurate absolute power measurement is not critical. Also, because the LNA can be overloaded easily RTL-SDR is best suited for analyzing small signals below -10 dBm. Otherwise, external attenuators will be needed.

When Jack Gill decided to retire from his storied career as a Silicon Valley venture capitalist, it took him a while to figure out his next step.
During that time, Gill visited the best and brightest entrepreneurs of Silicon Valley and asked them how they got to the positions they were in — titans of technology.
"I realized how much creativity and smart thinking and insights were in the universe," Gill said. "That led me to return to more or less full-time teaching because I can have such a great impact on entrepreneurs."
Gill taught in Boston at Harvard University and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before moving back to his home state of Texas, where he became involved with the burgeoning technology community in Houston.
Gill spends his time teaching young entrepreneurs at Rice University; working with the GOOSE Society, a nonprofit angel network that gives the largest prize at the Rice Business Plan Competition, the world's biggest and richest graduate student-level business plan competition; and The Gill Foundation, an educational charity.
Gill sat down with Houston Business Journal reporter Molly Ryan to discuss his recent endeavors and reflect on his entrepreneurial spirit.
What's the best advice you ever received?
Maybe the most important advice that I got was from my father who worked in construction all his life and who barely eked out a living for a family of six kids.
He said to me, "Jack, if you want to not work as hard as I have to do just to make a decent living for the family, go get all the education you can."
Education is the great enabler.

Al-Jazeera entrenchment in U.S. raises fear of promoting anti-Semitism
Some say a dozen Al-Jazeera news bureaus across the country could offer greater coverage of world issues. Some, though, fear it could promote anti-Semitism.
The news organization, which bought Al Gore's Current TV for $500 million this year, will begin broadcasting Al-Jazeera America this summer.
"We're trying to have bureaus in places where other networks do not," said Bob Wheelock, executive producer of Al-Jazeera English.
Bureaus are to be opened in New York, Washington, Miami, Nashville, Chicago, New Orleans, Detroit, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle, according to Politico.
Al-Jazeera America probably will be very similar to other news networks, said Saleh Sbenaty, a Middle Tennessee State University engineering professor and a board member of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro, Tenn.
"It would be good for people to hear different voices to get a different point of view and coverage of issues that might not be covered by the media here," he said.
A critic said she would welcome the network's presence in Nashville, but for a different reason.
"I'm not opposed to them coming in, because a lot of people do not know of Al-Jazeera's anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish and anti-Israel bias," said Laurie Cordoza-Moore, president of the pro-Israel group Proclaiming Justice to the Nations, based in Franklin, Tenn.

Short Cuts
Death: 404
In June of 404, the archbishop of Constantinople Saint John Chrysostom was exiled from his see by the Byzantine emperor Arcadius for his courageous opposition to certain licentious entertainments that had taken place in the city. The priest Tigrius, known for his meekness and compassion for the poor, and the lector Eutropius, a young man of blameless life, were among the many who remained faithful to their exiled archbishop. When shortly after Chrysostom�s departure a fire broke out at the cathedral of Santa Sophia, the archbishop�s schismatic enemies and the pagan prefect of Constantinople falsely accused Chrysostom�s supporters of starting the fire. Many were arrested, including Tigrius and Eutropius. Eutropius was interrogated under torture, including scourging, the burning of his flesh, and the tearing of his cheeks and sides with iron nails, but he remained steadfast in refusing their demands for a false confession. He died from his wounds soon afterward. Tigrius was scourged and tortured on a rack. He is said later to have been exiled.

Construction spending edged up 0.1% in June, as the federal government's economic stimulus program offset continued weakness in building activity.
But the seasonally adjusted annual rate of construction spending of $836 billion remained 7.9% below the level reported for June 2009, the Commerce Department reported. Spending in May fell a revised 1% from April, and was 8% below the total reported for May 2009.
For the first half of the year, construction spending totaled $389.6 billion, 11.2% below the total of $438.7 billion for the first half of 2009, the Commerce Department said.
Total residential construction spending was 15.2% below the annual rate reported for June 2009, while nonresidential construction was 15.2% lower. Spending on public construction, which includes fiscal stimulus infrastructure projects, rose 1.5% to a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of $308.4 billion. Power and utilities construction, part of the public-construction category, surged 25.2%; health care building-related construction rose 5.4%; public office construction increased 3.1%; and highway construction rose 0.1%.
Compared to June 2009, total public construction spending in June declined an estimated 4.1%, although public residential spending rose 31.4%. Public nonresidential spending fell 5.0% from the rate reported for June 2009.

Residential construction declined 0.8%, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $358.3 billion, while nonresidential construction dipped 0.5%, to an annual rate of $269.3 billion.
Compared to June 2009, private-construction spending was off 10%, with private residential construction spending falling 11.8% and nonresidential spending dropping 24.1%.
Total construction spending in June edged up slightly in several building categories compared to May, but remained well below June 2009 levels for most categories. Compared to May, spending rose 5.7% for the power category, 7.6% for conservation and development, 3.5% for sewage and waste disposal, 2.3% for public safety, and 2.7% for religious, with smaller increases or minor spending declines reported for other categories.
Compared to June 2009, spending rose only for the transportation category (13%), highway and street (1.7%), sewage and waste disposal (9.1%), and conservation and development (32.6%). For other categories, spending was lower by anywhere from 1.3% for water supply to 57.7% for lodging.

Even while a Protestant, John Henry Newman rejected a Christianity that revolved around "any particular time when you renounced the world (as it is called), and were converted," i.e., a "once saved, always saved" Christianity. Newman, a man deeply sensitive to the inner life of conscience and deeply versed in scripture understood within the light of tradition, emphatically rejected the "once saved, always saved" dogma with very strong words.

Keywords: Justification, Salvation, once saved always saved, John Henry Newman
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - We commonly hear Protestants--usually of the Evangelical or Southern Baptist tradition--proclaim the dogma of "once saved, always saved." This doctrine is called the doctrine of the "preservation of the saints" or the doctrine of "eternal security." It is usually traced to the Protestant Reformer John Calvin.
For many Protestants, the "once saved, always saved" dogma is a sincerely felt--but deeply erroneous and unscriptural--belief that the Gospel teaches that accepting Jesus as one's Lord and Savior gives one what they call the assurance of salvation.
A corollary of this unfortunate doctrine is that nothing one does from that point--even a heinous sin--can take away that salvation. Nothing. Since we didn't earn salvation by being good, we can't lose salvation by being bad.
Basically, it is the view that once we say "yes" to God, we can never say "no." Either that or the "nos" to God make no difference in our relationship with God at least insofar as it relates to our salvation.
John Henry Newman--even while Protestant--rejected this doctrine, calling it in one of his sermons an "error," a "deceit," one stemming from the "shallowness of religion," or even "a blinded conscience." These are very harsh words by a verbal craftsman who was of a very judicious bent.
Even while still a Protestant, Newman rejected a Christianity that revolved around "any particular time when you renounced the world (as it is called), and were converted." This is a reference to a "once saved, always saved" theology of salvation.
Newman, a man deeply sensitive to the inner life of conscience and deeply versed in scripture understood within the light of tradition, emphatically rejected the "once saved, always saved" dogma with very strong words. This is a dogma which points to a "particular time" where salvation is got, and then leaves it at that.
For Newman who had his feet surely planted in the Gospel and in the inner promptings of conscience which was the voice of God found within man, salvation is not a painting, a still picture, an instant in time in one's life--but a drama, a series of pictures, a process in time throughout one's whole life. We must constantly be converted to the Lord Jesus, not just once, but daily.
In the Lord's Prayer, we ask for our "daily bread," our panem quotidianum. Is our turning to Christ, the giver of that bread of life, to be any less quotidian?
It is not sufficient to say "yes" to Christ once and then take leave. Our task is to become incorporated into Christ himself so as to develop in us the mind, the attitude which was in Christ Jesus (Phil. 2:5). And what is this mind of Jesus, this attitude of Jesus to which we must strive?
Jesus, St. Paul tells the Corinthians, "was not 'yes' and 'no,' but 'yes' has been in him." Non fuit est et non, sed est in illo fuit. (2 Cor. 1:19)
Christ's being was all in God, was in fact God. There was no part of his being, including his human nature, which was not in God. He was all "yes" unto God.
The Gospel insists that as Christians we must strive like Christ to be all "yes" unto God, so that there be no admixture of "yes" and "no" in us.
St. Paul tells the Philippians that to live is Christ and to die to oneself is gain (Cf. Phil. 1:21). To live is Christ is to say all "yes" to Christ. To die to self, to say "no" to self which means to say "yes" to Christ, is gain.
Among all mankind, Mary most perfectly imitated Jesus. She, "our tainted nature's solitary boast," was all "yes" unto God. Her "yes," which lasted from the first moment of conception until the end of her earthly life and assumption into heaven never had the least "no" to it.
Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum said the one whose name was "full of grace" and who was worthy to bear God and give him the mantle of human flesh. "Be it done unto me according to your word." (Luke 1:38) These words of Mary are the words of someone who is all "yes" unto God. These are the words of someone who understood that to live is Christ.
It is this attitude which was in Christ the Redeemer and in Mary, the one perfectly redeemed, which must be in us.
None of us can say we are all "yes" unto God throughout our lives. If we say we have no sin in us, if we say we have not said "no" to God, we deceive ourselves. (1 John 1:8).
Every time we sin, especially a mortal sin, we say "no" to God. A mortal sin is a categorical "no" to God which entirely negates any prior "yes." A venial sin is a lesser "no" which mars, but does not negate the "yes" unto God.
Anyone who has examined his conscience honestly after a fall into a mortal sin will recognize how the "no" to God involved in choosing a particular act, whether out of weakness or, worse, intentionally, shuts God out of the picture. We close the door on God, and he has been excluded from the drama of our life.
Does a man who looks at pornography on the internet to assuage his lust, or one decides to have an adulterous affair, or one who talks his wife into aborting their child have any "yes" to God left in him when he makes such choices and acts upon them?
If such a man looks honestly into his soul and does not rely upon some shallow dogma of "once saved, always saved," he will confront the horrible reality that engaging in mortal sin, with knowledge and consent, is an entrance into a horrible darkness that leaves a damned spot in the soul. And that darkness, that dark spot, stays in the soul, though one may neglect it or even forget it.
And there the spot festers, suppurating, befouling the soul. "Out, damned spot! Out, I say!" says the conscience, and yet it can do nothing about it on its own. The conscience cannot forgive itself. And the furies of conscience whirl about the iner mountains of the soul, the cliffs of fall as Gerard Manley Hopkins called them, while the fate of our soul, which has said "no" to God, hangs at the balance.
But forgetfulness, either through neglect or through suppression, does not out the spot. Reliance on a past "yes" of ours is of no avail. The darkness can only be overcome by a return, by a renewed "yes," to the merciful God to whom one has said "no."
While we have the ability to say "no" to God--which is something with us till our dying day--we cannot have assurance of salvation, unless through some sort of special revelation. And yet we are not therefore compelled to despair. This is because God gives us the grace to say "yes" anew to him.
"In one sense, indeed, you may take comfort from the first," Newman says, as "from the first you know [God] desires your salvation, has died for you, has washed away your sins by baptism, and will ever help you; and this thought must cheer you while you go on to examine and review your lives, and to turn to God in self-denial."
But this cheer and this hope we have is different from assurance of salvation. Newman continues to tell his flock that "you never can be sure of salvation, while you are here; and therefore you must always fear while you hope."
To believe in "once saved, always saved" is not authentic Christianity, but a corrupt form of it, one rejected by the Church in various ways, but most notably by the Council of Trent in its Decree on Justification.
As Aidan Nichols explains it in his excellent book The Shape of Catholic Theology, the Council of Trent saw the "supernaturalized life," as "life lived under grace in faith, hope, and love," and therefore presented "a more complex and subtle picture," than the "once saved, always saved" doctrine of the Protestant reformers such as Luther and Calvin. As Aidan Nichols explains it, the life of a Christian travels between "two poles."
In the drama of the Christian life, one pole is "absolute confidence in the goodness and mercy of God, mediated to us through Christ via the sacraments of the Church."
The other pole is "a fearful recognition of our weakness, the permanent possibility that we may reject this goodness and mercy."
For this reason, the "Catholic experience of justification would consist in an unconditional trust in the help of God, but within this trust, a genuine fear of separating oneself from God." This leads to "a conscious effort of union with God in prayer and penance."
This is authentic Christianity, in the words of Newman, "the true Christian state" of life.
As Newman describes it, an authentic Christian life will have the following dramatic elements: "A deep resignation to God's will, a surrender of ourselves, soul and body, to Him; hoping indeed, that we shall be saved, but fixing our eyes more earnestly on Him than on ourselves; that is, acting for His glory, seeking to please Him, devoting ourselves to Him in all manly obedience and strenuous good works; and, when we do look within, thinking of ourselves with a certain abhorrence and contempt as being sinners, mortifying our flesh, scourging our appetites, and composedly awaiting that time when, if we be worthy, we shall be stripped of our present selves, and new made in the kingdom of Christ."
Look at the action words that Newman uses: resigning, surrendering, hoping, fixing our eyes upon, acting, seeking, devoting, working, looking within, thinking, mortifying, scourging, awaiting . . . . This is a marriage with Christ, not a one-night stand with Christ.
That's the true Gospel, a dramatic life in Christ, not an instantaneous "once saved, always saved" experience.
Newman famously said that "in heaven, love will absorb fear; but in this world, fear and love must go together." And for that reason, "fear and love must go together; always fear, always love, to your dying day."
These are the words of a true Christian sentiment, and they are at the heart of the Christian drama: always fear, always love, to your dying day.

City Lights Bookstore will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the publication of The Hobbit and character Bilbo's birthday on Saturday, Sept. 22, in Sylva.
In anticipation of the December film release of the literary classic, City Lights Bookstore will have birthday cake and hobbit trivia. The audio edition of The Hobbit will also play in the store.
There is one winter visitor to our North Carolina Mountains that is probably happy the Blue Ridge Parkway is closed and is not burgeoning with sightseers and thrill-seekers like it is the rest of the year. That visitor would be Aquila chrysaetos canadensis, the North American golden eagle. There is certainly a mystique about this bird, North America's largest raptor. It is fairly common out West and is thought of as a bird of wide-open areas. But there is a small – 3,000 to 5,000 – population of golden eagles that breed in northeastern Quebec and migrate throughout the Appalachians. This bird, from preliminary research, appears to be a forest dweller that eschews human contact.

Moscow Premiere of Oblivion | Pictures
Tom Cruise and Olga Kurylenko Tackle a Busy Day For Oblivion
Tom Cruise and his Oblivion costar Olga Kurylenko had a busy one yesterday in Moscow. They kicked things off with a morning photocall, to which Olga wore Stella McCartney. Later, Tom and Olga buddied up for a premiere. For the nighttime event, Olga picked a lilac Elie Saab gown. Tom introduced the big-budget film with a few words about wanting to go to Russia. He said, "I was always, you know, pushing the studios to say 'Look, I want to travel, I want to make films in different countries, with different actors.' It's one of the reasons that I started to produce films, because I love movies, but I also wanted to create stories that would allow a multi-cultural experience."
The duo moved on to Russia following a promotional stop in Brazil. Olga and Tom attended the Rio debut of Oblivion, and she apparently greatly enjoyed being there. She tweeted, "I loved Rio! Didn't stay long enough though. But I did have one to have a walk on the beach."

BEIJING - China's Premier Wen Jiabao will visit three key Middle Eastern oil and gas suppliers -- Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar -- from the weekend, amid signs that Beijing wants to expand its options in the face of US sanctions aimed at Iran.An announcement on Tuesday from the Chinese Foreign Ministry (www.mfa.gov.cn) said Wen would meet host leaders to "thoroughly exchange views on developing bilateral relations and on international and regional issues of common concern".RELATED:'Normal China-Iran business ties shouldn't be sanctioned''China, Iran discussing barter system to bypass sanctions'Wen's trip, starting in Saudi Arabia, comes while Iran faces tightening Western sanctions over its nuclear program. Beijing faces pressure to go along with the US sanctions by cutting what it pays for Iranian oil, if not the volume it buys.China already cut oil imports from Iran in January and February in a dispute over contract terms, and has been looking for alternative supplies.Wen's talks are sure to cover, at least in general terms, energy cooperation with his Middle Eastern hosts, said Lin Boqiang, director of the China Center for Energy Economics Research at Xiamen University in east China."On any visit to the Middle East, these issues will be discussed," Lin told Reuters by telephone."Generally, there will be something that comes out of a visit like this, because a visit by a premier is not your average visit," he said of discussion on oil and gas.China bought a combined 1.15 million barrels per day (bud) from these three nations in the first 11 months of 2011, customs data showed, nearly a quarter of its total crude imports.Banking sanctions hitUS President Barack Obama recently authorized a law imposing sanctions on financial institutions that deal with Iran's central bank, its main clearinghouse for oil exports.US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was due to arrive in Beijing late on Tuesday for talks that were likely to cover the banking sanctions against Iran.That US sanctions threat could be a worry for China, the biggest buyer of Iranian oil, followed by India and Japan. Only Saudi Arabia and Angola sell more crude than Iran to China."Correctly speaking, it's not a matter of China necessarily reducing imports [from Iran], but of looking to increase imports from elsewhere," said Lin from Xiamen University."China, as well as Japan and other big oil consumers, is already turning its attention elsewhere," he said.China has backed a series of UN Security Council resolutions calling on Iran to halt uranium enrichment activities, while working to ensure its energy ties are not threatened.
