Ask females for fashion advice

Published Feb 16, 2006

All right, I have a confession to make. I like frat-daddy clothing. Honestly, the boat shoes, the khaki shorts, the Polos - minus the popped-collar (read: misguided fad) - I love it all. Now, look down. If you are currently sporting clothing similar to this, you can kindly stop reading; this won't apply to you ... today. For the rest of you, take a seat, continue reading and please, try not to let me hurt your feelings.

The New York Times reported Wednesday that the drug Avastin, which is produced by Genentech and is already being used in the treatment of colon cancer, could extend the lives of hundreds of thousands of people when used to treat other cancers - but at a hefty price.

According to the report, the drug would cost patients about $100,000 a year; not because of the drug's cost of production, but, as a company executive said, because of the inherent value of sustaining life.

Women's wardrobes need work

Women’s wardrobes need work

Published Feb 16, 2006

Women's fashion has never made sense to me. I'm continually amazed when I see naturally beautiful women who mangle and contort their bodies in order to fit into something "cute," all so they can impress their girlfriends.See, from what I can tell, women don't dress to make guys notice them. If they did, they'd listen to our complaints. Instead, many women participate in a daily battle to see who can be the best-looking. It's an internal war, and the victims are the men who are forced to view the disgusting ensembles worn by the combatants.
