The Miley Cyrus & Max Azria line aims to offer customers affordable and trend-right apparel, and includes tops, pants, graphic tees, shoes and accessories. All items in the collection are priced at less than $20.

Many of the pieces in the collection were influenced by Miley. Speaking of her new line, she said:

The Kentucky Derby and Mattel have teamed up to commemorate the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby this Saturday, May 2, 2009 at Churchill Downs with the official Kentucky Derby Barbie doll. This classic event is more than just any old horse race - it's a time-honored tradition, the first leg of the prestigious Triple Crown races, and the place to be seen. It's also a famed fashion event, where both the ladies and the gents put on their best.

This year, Barbie, a fashion icon herself, showcases the legendary Derby fashion with a floral sun dress, sassy spring sandals, a faux pearl necklace, and of course, an oversized white hat with blossoming flower accents.

For the rest of 2009, Walgreens will offer free clinic visits to the unemployed and uninsured. They will provide tests and routine treatment for minor ailments through the drugstore's walk-in clinics, which will hopefully alleviate some of the burden that those without healthcare often encounter when seeking medical care. Patients, however, will still need to pay for prescriptions.

Walgreens said that those who lose their job and health insurance after March 31 will be eligible for free treatment at their in-store "Take Care" clinics for allergies, respiratory problems, skin conditions, and infections, amongst other minor ailments. These treatments typically cost $59+ for patients without insurance.

Walgreens currently operates 341 Take Care clinics in 35 markets throughout the U.S., including Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati.

The free services will only be offered from 11am to 3pm, Monday through Friday. Patients will be required to present proof that they are unemployed, including a federal or state unemployment determination latter and unemployment check stub. They must also sign a form saying that they lost their job and health benefits, and if they find a new job or get health coverage, they will no longer be eligible for free care.

Female celebrities often given credit to their hidden super underwear for making their rear ends look good and their stomach's smooth and flat under their unforgiving couture gowns. And more often than not, it's Spanx they claim to wear. Created by founder Sara Blakely, Spanx has just launched a line of prettier shapewear - Haute Contour - and has revealed plans to expand the brand into a full clothing line.

According to Blakely, her company has been designing prototypes in "about three categories" of apparel for "up to two years". Other than that, however, she didn't reveal much about what the products might be, or even when they'll be out on store racks.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. announced Friday that it would be closing an Ohio optical lab which employs about 650 workers. The lab, located near Columbus, currently processes eyewear orders for the vision centers operating in its U.S. Walmart stores.

Volker Heimshoff, divisional manager of health and wellness for Walmart in the U.S., said in a statement:

"This decision along with expansions and improvements to our other eyewear manufacturing facilities will allow Walmart to reduce costs and operate our optical business more efficiently."

Those workers affected by the plant's closure will receive regular paychecks and benefits for the next 60 days, and are eligible for positions at nearby Walmart and Sam's Club stores.

Orders sent to the Ohio lab will now be dispersed to other facilities. Walmart's optical labs in Crawfordsville, Ind. and Fayetteville, Ark. are expanding and will add 100 new jobs. Still, it's bad news for Ohio as more of our state's workers are finding themselves without a job.

With many Americans out of work and looking for new jobs, FedEx Office is hoping to help out. Today only they are offering free printing of resumes at locations around the country.

Formerly known as FedEx Kinko's, FedEx Office will print as many as 25 black-and-white resume copies per customer that were placed and picked-up in store. Customers can submit the resumes in either printed or digital format.

The offer is only valid March 10, 2009.

Burlington Coat Factor is now pulling racks of clothing from stores after it was discovered that several outlets in Connecticut were caught selling counterfeit high-end brands, including Joseph Abboud and Perry Ellis.

Joseph Abboud and Perry Ellis labels were found sewn into jackets that in were not high-end at all. The jackets were really from Wal-Mart's George brand Macy's Alfani brand.

Burlington is blaming one of their vendors, stating that the company would never knowingly sell counterfeits.

CertifiChecks, a company that sold gift certificates to businesses and invidiuals around the country is shutting down, leaving many to wonder if the certificates they've not yet redeemed for various restaurants and stores will be worthless. The Dayton, Ohio company operated in 47 states, and said that it is filing for a Chapter 7 liquidation bankruptcy.

CertifiChecks hasn't yet indicated whether or not it will honor the unredeemed gift cetificates. However, on its website the company warns businesses that accepted the gift certificates in exchange for goods or services not to deposite them in the bank because they will be returned. Instead, they suggest mailing certificates to the company for "potential" reimbursement.

Many businesses and chambers of commerce had promoted the company by offering gift certificates of up to $100 that were redeemable at local businesses.

At this point, it is looking like businesses may not be getting reimbursed for accepting them. This means they may stop taking them altogether, leaving consumers with worthless certificates.
