If you'll be holiday shopping online this year -- and there are many good reasons to -- make sure you enter online stores through the right door. And the right door is not the retailer's front Web page. Instead, try using a side door to discounts, otherwise known as a rebate shopping portal. A shopping portal, or entrance, is a separate free Web site that has an arrangement with retailers. Retailers pay a commission to portal operators in return for sending Internet consumer traffic to the retailer's site -- a kind of referral fee. When the consumer makes a purchase, the retailer pays the portal a commission.

Emerging NASCAR star Carl Edwards risks life and limb every time he gets into his No. 99 Ford. Not to mention every time he gets out of it after a victory. Edwards, 25, who won a Busch Series race March 19 and a Nextel Cup race the next day, celebrates his first-place finishes by doing back flips off his driver's side door - after removing his helmet. At the Busch race, he stuck his landing. "Even the Russian judge would give him a 10 on that one," a radio announcer joked. The next day, he came down with more of a Weebles wobble - enough to remind you that a misstep could break one of Edwards' legs - or his back or his neck or his skull.
