...Whatever you do, ignore the name. Just concentrate on the delicious flatbread pizzas that make excellent use of ingredients like butternut squash, goat cheese, Portabello mushrooms, and peanut curries. You can also opt to have toppings put on rice, rather than a pizza. A signature favorite is their “Lunch/Dinner for Henry,” which features butternut squash, goat cheese, and caramelized onions. If you’re into salad pizzas, their Caesar on a Big Cheesy Crouton is a treat that uses homemade dressing and fried tofu instead of croutons. Portions are big, so no matter...
...months preceding the vote, President Karzai made a series of cunning backroom deals to co-opt potential opponents. Many assume that Dostum's support for Karzai was likewise brokered, in exchange for amnesty from prosecution on alleged crimes, or a cabinet post. But the general insists he seeks no office.

Evidence suggests that women who opt for MRIs tend to react to seeing their lesions, whether they are cancerous or not, by having their entire breast removed rather than just a portion of the tissue. "I just saw two patients who both had MRIs done at an outside institution, and both came in wanting mastectomies based on the MRI findings," says Dr. Anthony Lucci, a surgical oncologist at M.D. Anderson Cancer...
Women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer are faced with a tough choice - either to have parts of the affected breast removed, a procedure followed by several weeks of potentially toxic radiation therapy, or to opt for a mastectomy, removing the entire breast and contending with the disfigurement that entails. The decision typically rests on where and how widespread the tumors are. It's no wonder, then, that more and more women are relying on high-tech MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans to help them examine their cancer and choose the right treatment...
