A Florida Keys carpenter saved his pet dog from a shark. Greg LeNoir took his 14-pound pooch named Jake for a daily swim in the ocean last Friday. A five-foot shark suddenly surfaced and grabbed the dog. LeNoir yelled, then dove headfirst into the water and hit the shark’s back with his fists. The shark finally let go of Jake. The dog suffered bite wounds but was not critically injured.
The federal government is proposing to add 47 species of plants and animals and one insect to the endangered species list – all found only on the island of Kauai. This would be the first time the Interior Department would designate a large area as critical habitat for all the species rather than mapping areas for each species.

Ifill still on for debate despite breaking ankle
Published: 9/30/08, 6:46 PM EDT
NEW YORK (AP) - Gwen Ifill has a broken ankle, but she'll still serve as the upcoming vice presidential debate's moderator.
The veteran PBS newswoman tripped in her Washington area home while walking downstairs Monday, carrying material she was using to prep for the debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin.
Despite the pain, doctors have given her the OK to travel to St. Louis, where the vice presidential debate is scheduled for Thursday.
"Another crazy twist in a crazy week," Ifill said, confirming her injury in an e-mail. Ifill is moderator of PBS' "Washington Week" and senior correspondent on "The NewsHour."
A police officer in Casper, Wyoming, answering a call to chase off a bothersome “kitty cat” on Monday ended up running for cover after the kitty turned out to be a 90-pound male mountain lion. Beverly Hood saw the mountain lion lying on her porch. She called 911, animal control and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department to report a bothersome “big cat.” The dispatcher told Officer Mike Ableman that it was a house cat. A game warden tranquilized the mountain lion before it was relocated.
American retailers are bracing for a rough holiday shopping season this year, but one item they dare not cut from their holiday lineup as they look to cut costs is Santa Claus. Experts say cutting Santa from holiday plans in an effort to save a buck would be suicide. In fact, as American families struggle to survive in this economy, Santa may very well have big boys and girls as well as little boys and girls sitting on his lap this Christmas. The average Santa can make anywhere between $60 and $500 per hour. The only problem some Santas may face is retailers may cut their hours to save money, or some may go bankrupt.
The servers hosting the Web site of the House of Representatives and its members have been overwhelmed with millions of e-mails in the past few days, forcing administrators to implement a “digital version of a traffic cop” to handle the overload. The tidal wave of e-mails began last weekend after lawmakers announced Sunday that a deal had been reached on legislation to enact a $700 billion bailout of the country’s financial system. In making the announcement, legislators said the public could view the agreement at www.financialservices.house.gov . As millions of people tried to view the Web site, the House.gov systems became overwhelmed.
A can of beer helped police in Kalamazoo, Michigan get a criminal off the streets. Authorities were called to a house yesterday morning when an elderly woman reported a break-in and stolen debit card. However, the crook left behind a beer can and police were able to track his identity down through a check of nearby convenience stores. The suspect used the victim's card to make a few purchases but was taken into custody a short time later and booked into the Kalamazoo County Jail.
Alan Jackson is ready to let the good times roll. The singer kicks off the fall leg of his "Good Time" tour today in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He'll be joined on the road by rising star James Otto and "Celebrity Apprentice" runner up Trace Adkins. Adkins notes that he'll take the stage over the boardroom any time.
Kellie Pickler has added another pet to her menagerie. She writes in her MySpace blog, "Last night I adopted a ball python... I haven't named her yet. I got a few names in mind, but I wanna hear what you all think would be a good name." Fans can log onto Kellie's MySpace page to offer suggestions. The serpent joins a cat named "Pickles" and a bite-sized Chihuahua named "Moo Moo."
Rising country star Darius Rucker is scheduled to perform on "The Late Show with David Letterman" tonight. The former Hootie and the Blowfish lead singer is enjoying tremendous success in country music after his solo CD, "Learn to Live," debuted in the number one slot on "Billboard's" Top Country Albums Chart. Following his performance tonight, Rucker is scheduled to sit down and chat with Letterman about his newfound solo success.
Actor-director Kevin Costner and the band Modern West will release a country album, “Unknown Truths,” on November 11th. Costner wrote or co-wrote all 12 tracks on the album. Costner and Modern West will begin touring later this year to promote the album.
Jesse Ventura has a new TV gig. The former pro-wrestler and Minnesota governor will host a new cable program in which he'll explore modern day conspiracy theories. The show, to air on TruTV, will begin filming in October. In a statement, Ventura said, quote, "I've been a mayor, I've been a governor. Now I get to be a detective and seek the truth." A premiere date for the still-untitled show has yet to be announced.
Carrie Underwood will release a holiday edition of her Carnival Ride album on October 21st exclusively to Wal-Mart. The new package includes the original C-D in its entirety and a second disc featuring "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," "The First Noel," "What Child Is This," "O Holy Night" and "Do You Hear What I Hear."
Kid Rock has come up with a smart way to cut down on his beer bills -- he's signed a deal to develop and endorse his very own brand of brew. The self-proclaimed American Badass is working with the company that markets Donald Trump's vodka and Willie Nelson's whiskey to develop "an easy-to-drink, traditional, good-tasting American-manufactured beer." Drinks America C-E-O J. Patrik Kenny says, "Kid Rock is a reflection of great American rock and roll music and the American spirit, and we think we can create a beer in that same image." The brew will likely be ready for guzzling in the spring.
Jewel credits radio airplay for her musical success in both the pop and country genres. The singer told NBC's "Today" show that she turned to music when she was homeless and got a break when a radio station played one of her original songs on the air.
Alan Jackson is looking for your help with the video for his new single, “Country Boy.” All you have to do is film a video of yourself having fun in “Country Boy” style and post it on YouTube. You could end up being one of 10 winners. You can find out all of the details on Alan’s Web site at allanjackson.com. The contest ends on October 6th. “Country Boy” is the story of a good-natured down-home guy offering a lady a lift. Jackson says his daughters could probably learn a lesson or two from the song.
