Christmas is over, but we've still got shopping on the brain.

Last week, we got more evidence that the industry continues to change.  Two of the biggest names in retailing announced some tough news.  Sears and Macy's both revealed that they were closing stores and cutting jobs.

Meanwhile, this week will see the release of the latest monthly stats on retail sales.  The report will reveal how the holiday season turned out.  We'll preview the report and take a look at the state of the industry right now.

And as always, we browse through some of the more out-of-the-way racks on Wall Street.

We've got trips to black holes, brave social experients and a sports team who is really very sorry that they sucked so much last year.   And we tell you about a pillow maker that got in trouble because its pillows are really half as expensive as you think they are.
