Wednesday's story ideas

Summer vacations that are affordable. As families look for cheap deals, resorts and cruises are cutting prices.

Day three of the tax rebates... how are sales of those retailer bonus gift cards going?

Will the Fed cut rates again? Some economists think this is a bad idea, that it weakens the dollar and makes oil prices go up.

Hannah Montana products. Anybody buying them? Are they now on sale?

Survey shows that people often share prescription medicine. Why is this a bad idea?

"Win for life" lottery tickets. Well, these aren't things you can put in your will. If you win five grand a week for life and drop dead next week, the payments stop. Some winners are giving their tickets to the younger members of the family before cashing them in.

Finally, today's evidence that parents have gone beyond being overprotective. The Little League now has a "pitch count." (When I was a kid we played till the sun went down.) Does it make sense to limit kids' exercise?
