Going once, going twice ... tonight is the third and final chance to catch a glimpse of the "American Idol" performers at the Blaisdell Arena.

Most of the tickets have long been sold out, but a few stragglers remain if you call (877) 750-4400. The show, like last night and Tuesday, starts at 7 p.m. Cost is $48.



Web site hopes to help pets find great Hawai'i homes

Since dating services are a big hit on the Internet, could pet pairing have been far behind?

The Hawaii Cat Foundation and Hawaii Dog Foundation on O'ahu, and the Kauai Humane Society have joined Petfinder.com, the largest online database of homeless pets.

Betsy Saul, president and co-founder of the Web site, said that placing a pet's photo and description on the searchable database "substantially" increases the animal's chances of finding a happy home.

Petfinder.com claims it helped 1.5 million pets find new homes last year.



Diane Sawyer | Speaking on "Larry King Live," on the credibility of CBS and Dan Rather's handling of the furor over President Bush's National Guard documents:

"He is a towering journalist. We all know this. We live and die by headlines, all of us here. But let us never forget he's the guy who gets up out of the anchor chair and goes to Afghanistan. He's the guy who could have the cushy assignment, but he goes to the hurricane. He is an honest-to-goodness reporter. If anybody is hard on themselves, it is him first. And he is a giant in this business, and I know he operates without fear or favor."
