Haggling is an increasingly popular sport among some people these days. Customers are haggling the price to pay at gas stations, chain stores and other places you might not think to negotiate. The key says one pro, is always ask for a discount. If you don’t ask, the answer already is no.

Earlier today I heard a rumor that Steven Tyler was dead, but I think we all know -- this man will never die.
The last I heard about the Steven Tyler fall was that he took a tumble off the stage, was airlifted to the hospital and had minor injuries. Now, details are in from MTV on his current condition.
Of course, the concert Aerosmith was scheduled to play in Winnipeg tonight is postponed. Steven Tyler’s next performance with Aerosmith was set for Sunday in Regina, and that show has been postponed as well.
Aerosmith is scheduled to play three other shows in Canada before returning to the U.S. on Aug. 17 to play a show in Seattle. However, Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry told the Associated Press that Steven Tyler’s fall might keep him from performing for up to two months.
If you’re worried because you spent a cash loan on an Aerosmith ticket, don’t despair. All shows will be postponed — none canceled. Hold on to your ticket, because the band will reschedule the show and honor tickets at the later dates.
The reason Steven Tyler might be out of commission for a couple of months is his broken shoulder. he also got stitches in the back of his head and in his back, according to Billie Perry’s Twitter account. Billie Perry is Joe Perry’s wife, and she gave several updates during the few hours after the Steven Tyler fall. ... click here to read the rest of the article titled "UPDATE On Steven Tyler Fall | Condition and Future Concerts"
Aerosmith frontman dead from a scratch and some bruises? No. He's a live and well.
The world was aghast yesterday when Steven Tyler fell off the stage while performing at a motorcycle rally. But word got out quickly that his injuries were minor, and he was fine.
However, Steven Tyler did go to the hospital, and pretty soon the “Steven Tyler’s dead!” rumor started to fly. It seems any time a celebrity is admitted to the hospital, somebody out there decides that person is dead. The more famous the person is, the more likely there will be rampant rumors of death.
So, I know that this happens. I remember rumors recently that Jeff Goldblum died and lots of other instances of fake celebrity deaths being widely reported. So I understand that this happens, I just don’t understand why.
What’s the motivation for spreading “Steven Tyler’s dead” rumors? Most things can usually be traced back to money. Is there someone out there saying, “Hey, I’ll give you a cash advance if you spread a rumor that Steven Tyler is dead”? Somehow I don’t think so.
I know that magazines and newspapers and online publications make money if they break a big story. However, that usually only works if the story is true or if somehow one publication can maintain control of the story. Sure, the National Enquirer prints false stories on a regular basis, but people buy the magazine because it’s the only one reporting on the Bat Child or that Patrick Swayze is a woman. ... click here to read the rest of the article titled "How and Why Do Rumors Like 'Steven Tyler's Dead' Get Started?"
On ABC’s This Week, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner opened the door to a middle-class tax hike. The White House quickly slammed it shut. But many experts say Geithner was right to leave the idea on the table, and a recent Gallup Poll shows Americans are generally satisfied with the amount of taxes they pay.

Rick Scott, multi-millionaire lover or Medicare fraud (Photo: open.salon.com)
If you’re wondering who is primarily responsible for organizing the barbaric efforts to sabotage the Democratic town halls across the nation, wonder no longer. The man’s name is Rick Scott, and he is in charge of the Web site Conservatives For Patients Rights. He is a multimillionaire ex-hospital CEO whose company was charged with the largest case of financial fraud committed against the government in United States history.
Yes, the former CEO of the Columbia/HCA hospital system was at the helm during a span of 10 years when his company defrauded Medicare for $1.7 billion dollars. They were found guilty and that amount has been repaid - yet the conservative GOP pick Rick Scott to lead them into battle for responsible medical spending? Payday loans with no faxing and short term loans used responsibly help in a pinch, but I’m talking responsibility on an entirely different level.
According to various sources, Scott’s company was so brazen that they stamped certain documents with warnings that those documents should not be shown to Medicare auditors!
The practice that appears to have gotten Rick Scott’s company in trouble is something known as “upcoding.” Essentially, hospitals under Rick Scott’s watch were treating patients for minor ailments, then charging the Medicare exorbitant fees for much more serious (imaginary) illnesses. In addition, they reported the costs for things like employee functions, holiday parties, catering and other things unrelated to the expense of treating patients. Knowing this, would you trust Rick Scott to tell you what is or isn’t too expensive when it comes to health care? And the man’s level of honesty! He told CNN’s Rick Sanchez (see video below) that he “had no idea” about upcoding. ... click here to read the rest of the article titled "Rick Scott: Multimillionaire, Mastermind of Town Hall Riots "
