<html>WASHINGTON (AP) ? Imagine a raccoon with a teddy bear face that is so cute it's hard to resist, let alone overlook. But somehow science did ? until now.Researchers announced Thursday a rare discovery of a new species of mammal called the olinguito. It belongs to a grouping of large creatures that include dogs, cats and bears.The raccoon-sized critter leaps through the trees of mountainous forests of Ecuador and Colombia at night, according to a Smithsonian researcher who has spent the past decade tracking them.But the adorable olinguito (oh-lihn-GEE'-toe) shouldn't have been too hard to find. One of them lived in the Smithsonian-run National Zoo in the Washington for a year in a case of mistaken identity."It's been kind of hiding in plain sight for a long time" despite its extraordinary beauty, said Kristofer Helgen,[http://wanhi.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=202190 Carolina Bedding of Central Texas], the Smithsonian's curator of mammals.The zoo's little critter, named Ringerl, was mistaken for a sister species, the olingo.

| + | <html>Getting three former Nevada governors to sit down to reminisce is a pretty good story, but when one of them has been dead for 105 years, well,[http://humanics.us/node/178072 Tailgating at UVa With 'Hoos in the Ditch], that?s a bit of a blockbuster.On Sept. 21, former Gov. John Sparks, who served from 1903 until his death in 1908, will be resurrected in the form of Chautauquan Michael Fischer for a fundraising dinner at the historic Dangberg Home Ranch.Nicknamed ?Honest John,[http://detroitareapoker.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=489174 Frager's fire burns historic hardware store],? Sparks was a cattleman and, of course, the namesake of Reno?s neighboring city.He?ll be joined by fellow former governors Robert List and Richard Bryan (both alive and kicking) for a night of food, music and a discussion of life as a governor of Nevada.The nonprofit Friends of Dangberg Home Ranch is sponsoring the event,[http://mediasoftware.in/apj/blog/?p=6812 Top Playgrounds In Denver CBS Denver], which will be emceed by longtime Northern Nevada broadcaster Brent Boynton.Bryan, a Democrat, and List, a Republican, were longtime political foes. List defeated Bryan in an election for Nevada attorney general and Bryan defeated List in the governor?s race in 1982.?It should be great for history buffs and political junkies,[http://calhounaviation.com/index.php/forum/suggestion-box/158645-fans-taking-in-packers-game-sunday-are-happy-football-is-back#175775 Fans taking in Packers game Sunday are happy football is back],? said Fischer, ex-director of the Nevada Department of Cultural Affairs, who has portrayed Sparks and Dangberg Ranch namesake H.F. Dangberg in Chautauqua performances.?It?s wonderful to have these great Nevadans at the park,? said Mark Jensen,[http://visualdeceptions.info/rydol889r/2013/09/10/cowboys-corner-cowboys-ready-to-see-leary-in-the-next-environment-garre/ Cowboys Corner Cowboys ready to see Leary 'in the next environment,' Garre], the park?s curator. ?Their support of the Friends of Dangberg is encouraging as we continue to expand our membership. It should be an excellent evening, and I think both history buffs and those with an interest in Nevada politics should make a point of coming.?Singer-songwriter and guitarist Beans Sousa will provide the evening?s entertainment. Sousa, the touring guitarist for Lacy J. Dalton, has also recorded and performed with George Harrison, Leon Russell and Bonnie Raitt.</html> | ||
