A plea from someone who needs help: 'I'm still me'

(M. SPENCER GREEN/The Associated Press) U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Victor Fehrenbach is an F-15E fighter pilot who announced he was gay on national TV in 2009 after the Air Force started discharge proceedings against him.

MIAMI -- Here in Florida, you can adopt a highway, a park, a manatee, a tree -- donating money and time to make sure the object or creature of your interest receives care and upkeep.

And now, you can also adopt a shark.

For $2,000, you can purchase a satellite tag to be attached to a bull, hammerhead or tiger shark, tracking its movements for up to a year while you follow it in real time on the Internet. And you also get to name your shark.
