No, I’m not being obtuse, just a bit cheeky, I suppose. HAIR in this instance is an acronym: Help with Adjustment for Alopecia and Image Recovery, an unwieldy name that undoubtedly has its genesis in the US Congress for a computer imaging system developed at the University of Virginia Cancer Center.

March means more than college basketball. It even means more than green beer! I’ll pause long enough for you to pick yourself up off the floor from either disbelief or laughter… Ready? OK.
March means St. Baldrick’s Day is upon us! St. Baldrick’s started in 1999 when three guys played chicken with a pair of clippers […]

OK, Jack Nicholson has gone and shaved his head. Two weeks ago, he had hair, as seen in this Getty Image from 15 Feb.

(I know that’s a sexist expression and that Pantene is really more of a woman’s brand, but “big girls” just doesn’t convey the same means. Plus it’s more likely […]
Sounds like Ms. Porter has a new crush…
No worries, James, it’s not another man, but Uganda… the country. After a recent visit to promote Fair Trade goods, she sounds rather smitten.

Please allow me a bit of a rant. As long as I’m doing penance for the Britney thing, I might as well throw this in, too. It may seem a little mean spirited, but I have talk about this guy.
I am a 21 year old male who has been on Propecia for 3 1/2 months […]
Perhaps I’m still cleansing my soul for the Britney post; perhaps it’s just a news worthy time in the realm of cancer treatments. Regardless, the results of a phase II clinical trial for ovarian cancer treatment have been released, and the indications are positive.
