HAVANA - A living example of an insectivore native to Cuba — but believed for years to extinct — has been found in the island's eastern mountains, a Cuban news agency reported.

The discovery of the male insect-eating mammal known as an almiqui (pronounced ahl-mee-KEE) raises hopes "that it will not wind up in the catalog of the irretrievable animals disappearing from the face of the Earth," Prensa Latina said in reporting the discovery.

The creature looks like a brownish woolly badger with a long, pink-tipped snout and can measure up to about 19 inches, according to Prensa Latina's Monday dispatch.

The nocturnal animal burrows underground during the daytime, explaining why it is rarely seen by people. After the sun goes down, it emerges to root out worms, larvae and insects.

Named "Alejandrito" by the farmer who found it, the living almiqui weighed 24 ounces and veterinarians declared the animal in perfect health.

"Alejandrito" was held in captivity for two days of study and medical tests, then marked and let free in the same general area it was found, Prensa Latina said.

The almiqui was described for the first time in 1861 by the German naturalist Wilham Peters, who wrote of the difference between the Cuban animal and a similar one found in neighboring Haiti.

Since, only 37 of the animals known by the scientific name Solenodon Cubanus have been captured, including "Alejandrito."

The last reported sightings of the creatures were in 1972 in the eastern province of Guantanamo, and 25 years later in 1999 in the eastern province of Holguin.

This will probably seem like a stupid question, but it's been over a year since I used FTP's, and I've never used hundredthmeridian.com before. ANyway, I'm logged into that server, and I thought I remembered a bunch of folders coming up when you connect to an FTP. All I see is an icon telling me I'm connected. I've been randomly clicking and right-clicking on everything, and I can't make the folders come up. How bout a little refresher...please? Confusedcratch:

Yes folks, I'm always bringing up politics, but this one shouldn't be ignored...I'm assuming there are a vast amount of eligible voters from Ontario in this forum, so I'm curious, who watched the leaders debate tonight? Who is everyone's preference? (If you feel like divulging such information) I believe we need a change, big time, but I, like many others don't believe that Mr. McGuinty is the right man for the job. But hey, politics is the art of the possible, he may work. Myself being a student, the NDP party is the only party for me...so lets hear it folks!

Has anyone else out there had problems with the customer service of Air Canada, Zip or Jazz?

Through all the flights I've had, the only problems that I've ever had with poor customer service are with Air Canada and now Zip. I mean I've had flights delayed due to weather and other unavoidable problems. But a flight changing from a departure of 6:40AM to 1:05PM without any explination of any kind only a week away from the flight!?!?

This is only the latest problem that I've had with them. It's been quite awhile since I've actually flown with Air Canada but I've had similar problems in the past as have my family members, friends and fellow workers.

Has anyone had any problems when flying with WestJet? I've flown with them many times now and have never had anything like this happen and the customer service with WestJet is out of this world when compared to that of Air Canada.

Maybe there's a perfeclty logical explination for this rash change in flight times, but none was provided to me when told about it or even after asking about it. All I know now is that I'll be missing a day of work thanks to the change.

I should also note that the only reason that I chose Zip over WestJet in this case was over a difference of $25. Stupid. Won't happen again.

Sorry for the rant.

I've been listening to CBC radio two in the mornings on my commute to work and it's pretty good shit actually. Puts me in a totally different mood - I feel so cultered and refined, and I make believe that I'm on my way to the art gallery, and will "do lunch" with some hoity toity people. And this morning on the news I learned that that the largest ice shelf in the artic has split in two - it had been 3000 years as one piece. Where else would you hear news like that, tell me WHERE?!!!
