Time and again I hear Starbucks is coming to Italy or appeals for it to open in the country. I am guessing (and hoping)the reasons they will not are multiple. In Italy people who go to their local bar are called by name because the people working there actually know them. Italian bars are places where people go for a coffee and to socialize (rather than 'connect' to people via a wi-fi hotspot while sippping a frappuccino). No doubt Starbucks would fare well in some places - in particular where the numbers of tourists are sufficiently high to keep it going and the local population is young and trendy (Milan and Rome come to mind). Time will tell I guess...
@ most Sturbucks in the US you see plenty of kids spending hours on their laptops or books, keeping their seat (and wifi connection) for hours on end with one coffee. This I reckon would be inconceivable in Italy or Spain, where consumption is most often standing, with some socialization but still overin matter of minutes.
There is no way on earth that a Starbucks coffee could compare with a Lavazza!
You're right! There are few coffees as bad and over-rated as Lavazza.

Can't find what you're looking for? Our health information specialists are here to help. Contact us at 800-233-4050 or online.
Here's an overview of the major research on this topic:
There are seven widely-cited, well-known, published studies that have followed children with ADHD into their adolescent or early adulthood years; and have analyzed substance use, alcoholism, and/or drug abuse as a function of prior stimulant treatment. Six of these studies specifically addressed whether treatment with stimulant medication compared with no stimulant medication treatment predicted later substance use. Of these six,
One study with few untreated children reported that an earlier age of treatment initiation among the treated children predicted a decreased likelihood of non-alcohol substance use disorder. As of this writing, there are several new studies whose results have been presented at professional scientific conferences but findings are not yet published.
The hope is that these studies, some of which have large samples, will be able to address some of the study design challenges inherent in answering this complicated question. For example, studies contributing to the mixed results have usually been small (e.g., about 100 subjects), resulting in very limited numbers of non-medicated children to compare to much larger numbers of medicated children.
When few children in the study are not medicated, it becomes almost impossible to determine whether the treatment itself affects later substance abuse or whether characteristics that underlie receipt of treatment (such as severity of problems) cause this outcome. In addition, studies have varied in their approach to the question, considering presence or absence of treatment in the lifetime, duration of treatment, or age of treatment initiation. Substance use and abuse has been measured differently across studies, and the follow-up age varies across studies (adolescence versus adulthood).
Again, the most conservative interpretation of the literature is that we do not yet know whether stimulant treatment predicts later use and abuse of substances. Presently, the relatively smaller number of published studies finding increased risk of substance use or dependence for medicated children usually leads most practitioners to give more weight to the benefits of medication treatment when it appears to be indicated. Proper monitoring, particularly in the face of other risk factors such as conduct problems or a family history of addictions, is always warranted.

EnviroTech :: Regulatory EFSA launches public consultation on pesticides methodology11:24 AM MDT | July 18, 2013 | Michael Ravenscroft The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA; Parma, Italy) has launched a public consultation on its recently published methodology for identifying pesticides to be included in cumulative assessment groups on the basis of their toxicological profiles. The methodology is based on grouping pesticides that exhibit similar toxicological properties in a given organ or system. The panel on plant protection products and their residues recommends that the methodology be implemented for all major organs/organ systems, although the approach should be considered to be specific...

Great price, great towels I'd recommend them...Nick thickness, nice quality, great price. Nothing that says "cheap" about them...and we are constantly washing our towels, so I bought two sets. Yes, they leave a lot of line in the drier, but that's because they are cotton. No biggie!

These towels were exactly what I was looking for I bought these towels for the master bathroom. I had nice towels in the guest bathroom but old ones in our master bath. These towels are very thick and plush. It is easy to dry off with them. The only thing of note is that when put in the dryer the first time, they produced LOTS of lint. I cleaned the dryer vent several times before the load was finished drying. I would recommend these towels to others.

Towels rival those @ twice the price! I was skeptical about purchasing these towels as my family was spoiled by the set my husband purchased over 5 years ago from Pottery Barn. We were delighted when these towels arrived~large, soft and thirsty! After the initial wash & dry (lots of lint, so we learned from past reviews) we continue to be extremely pleased with our purchase. Will be ordering 4 more very soon!

How to Sanitize Bath Towels
Bath towels are prime locations for germs. Towels pick up germs from contact with wet skin and breed more germs as they hang in a warm, humid bathroom. Fortunately, careful laundering of your bath towels can reduce the germ count. Knowing how to sanitize bath towels effectively reduces the spread of illness in your home and prevents musty odors on towels. The process is simple, and all you need in addition to your regular laundry essentials are a few extras. This article will help you learn how to sanitize bath towels.
How to Add a Claw Foot Tub Enclosure
You can add a lot of old-fashioned charm to your bathroom with a claw foot tub and shower enclosure. Once you have the bathtub and plumbing fixtures installed, it's time to set up the frame for the shower curtain. With a normal tub, you could just rely on a shower rod between two walls, but a clawfoot tub is usually set away from the wall in an open area, which means the shower curtain rail will need to cover the entire bath tub perimeter. And that can require a custom enclosure frame for your unique claw foot tub. Here are a few steps to help you install it.
How to Buy Cotton Sheets
Cotton sheets are the natural choice for those who want a low-maintenance, breathable fabric that wicks away moisture from the skin. Natural cotton sheets are less prone to staining than cotton-synthetic blends and release dirt easily in the wash. While all 100-percent cotton sheets offer similar benefits, some simply feel better against the skin and may have a longer life in your linen closet. Take a look below to learn how to buy cotton sheets.

Needed a very special gift in a hurry for a complete chocoholic.

Very happy with my purchase from the Chocolate Trading Company.

Wasn't there a post-season camp last year (pre-AFL), attended by Flores, Harper, etc., where Wang pitched in intersquad games? Granted it was against the young players in the system, but I seem to recall reports that Wang was making good progress, enough to stoke discussion around his appearance this year. So what happened since then that he hasn't shown progress, or is this as good as it gets? Has he peaked?One more point: yes he has had a deliberate delivery, but the video points to slow arm speed…very slow arm speed. You can have a deliberate motion with ML arm speed, but I'm not seeing the necessary arm speed.

My wife says I'm not "pronating" anymore also.
- Big Cat - Feb 18, 2011 at 12:31 PM
Seriously though, he seems to be slinging the ball rather than throwing it. Again, I have never seen him throw before. Its that old saying "The hitters will let you know how you're throwing."

Interesting reference to Drew Brees' surgery. I've read his surgery was given a 10 percent success rate. Not encouraging when combined with Mark's report.
- joemktg - Feb 18, 2011 at 12:57 PM
Just saw Mark's video on csnwashington.com from yesterday. There was a shot of Werth in the OF: he looks like a Wookie.Mark: is it possible to add your radio interview schedule to the right side menu while down in Viera?
- Doc - Feb 18, 2011 at 1:45 PM
Great video by you and the CSN crew Mark.It lets us see some up close and personal activity. Wang appears to be throwing like full delivery for his 'real stuff' is painful—hence the hitch.
- VladiHondo - Feb 18, 2011 at 1:54 PM
"joemktg said… Wasn't there a post-season camp last year (pre-AFL), attended by Flores, Harper, etc., where Wang pitched in intersquad games?"It was the Instructionals last fall that Wang pitched in, they bring a bunch of the better minor leaguers for in depth tutelage each October.
- wally - Feb 18, 2011 at 2:09 PM
Mark – great topic and idea to get feedback from Will Carroll too (hope that you don't get the Nats staff too PO'd at you).Hard for me to make any conclusions from the video, but the takeaway seems consistent with Wang's comments about timing. Carroll's take is particularly concerning, but we knew that with so many injury rehabs, not all would work out and maybe this is one.
- NG - Feb 18, 2011 at 2:24 PM
How does Wang's contract compare to Shawn Hill's contract in 2009, where the Nationals were able to release him in Spring Training and only pay something like 25% of his salary? This is really starting to look like a "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me" type of situation.
- Theophilus - Feb 18, 2011 at 2:39 PM
We're all steeled to a lengthy Strasburg rehabilitation so another couple of weeks of patience w/ Wang is no big deal. No way a couple of innings in the Instructional League last October scraped off all of the rust. Everybody who's wanted to spend $300MM on pitchers the past couple of days should know that $1MM on Wang is a cheap roll of the dice on a two-time 19-game winner. Worst thing that happens is it relieves the traffic jam competing for spots in the rotation.
- Theophilus - Feb 18, 2011 at 2:42 PM
Incidentally, Shawn Hill is in the Marlins camp this Spring so may he's not done, either.
- JD - Feb 18, 2011 at 3:16 PM
It's incredible how people want to draw conclusions based on 1 bullpen session. If he returns in June and is 80% the pitcher he was it;s still a great deal for us.
- Anonymous - Feb 18, 2011 at 3:59 PM
He is REALLY holding back and thats scary for someone more than a year and a half out of shoulder surgery. 20 months later if he is still having that much discomfort I'm afraid I dont like his chances of ever getting back to the mound in a big league game. Not that it matters to anyone, but I had a similar shoulder surgery that ended my college career and to this day (surgery about 7 years ago) I still cant throw a baseball more than 30 feet without pain. I hope he proves me wrong and Im certainly rooting for him but I dont like his chances.
- Anonymous - Feb 18, 2011 at 4:32 PM
I told you he wasn't going to be ready …
- Souldrummer - Feb 18, 2011 at 6:37 PM
Apparently, Garrett Mock has a greater shot of making the starting rotation out of camp than Wang based on those shots. This is really good stuff to actually see them on the mounds. Do you think it's possible to get a shot from further away where you can actually see more than one pitcher in the shot? I'd imagine part of the reason you and the crew might have realized how slow Wang was pitching is comparing it to the zing of Mock right next to him. Plus Livo was even farther in the foreground. And if Wang can't throw harder than Livo we've got a problem for sure.
- Gnashnail - Feb 18, 2011 at 6:55 PM
Ouch. As a baseball player and former shoulder surgery patient, I *do not* like what I see. For comparison, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQtRvm3eRoY&NR=1 for a sample of CMW's full windup delivery prior to surgery, and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBeC4Q2eJuk for a sample prior to surgery from the stretch. Watch Mark's video at 39 sec and notice the differences in arm coil extension (only just below the butt after surgery – much lower before) and landing foot/leg distance (less pronounced). You can see CMW is throwing from the waist. This a significant change in delivery THIS FAR post surgery at the MLB level. And it does *not look good* fellow Nats fans!
- JamesFan - Feb 18, 2011 at 7:30 PM
He's throwing like his shoulder hurts or he thinks it's going to. This looks awful to me and I, for one, think that a return to mlb as an effective pitcher is very unlikely.
- Mark Zuckerman - Feb 18, 2011 at 8:17 PM
joemktg said…Mark: is it possible to add your radio interview schedule to the right side menu while down in Viera?Thanks for the suggestion — I just posted my weekly schedule for radio appearances on the right-hand side of the page.

Hey gents,I sadly have to disagree with everyone's comments. One, everyone is working their shoulder in shape (Joe Nathan mentioned he hits 88 this time of year, when he regularly hits mid 90's.) Two if you look at the two videos below, the first it looks like the coach is working on his finishing, trying to get him to get his pitching arm down over his left knee past follow through. (clearly an unnatural motion for him). The second video is from an actual game, and though it as some distance to the video, its clear that 1.) he is upright throughout the delivery 2.) his back leg clearly drags through to follow through and 3.) his arm motion actually looks slow and deliberate, like in the Zuckerman video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-6-OcEmf_U&feature=relatedand look at this game pitchhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPosoxCK408&feature=relatedand a third for promisehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQtRvm3eRoY&feature=related

The Steps with No Numbers - in Bill's Story
When our co-founder, Bill W., took his Steps – the Steps had not yet been written down and numbered.
Of particular interest to me, as I studied Bill's Story, Chapter 1, in the book, Alcoholics Anonymous, was to take notes of the actions that Bill was taking to produce his Spiritual Experience – and, then comparing his actions which later were written down and numbered, and became our 12 Steps, as we know them today.
Below are some of my notes taken while I was reading Bill's Story, .
This all started as I was searching through the Big Book looking for all occurrences of the word "requirement.â€

I Didn't Know That: Lifting a Man With Helium Balloons?
Is it possible to lift someone off the ground using just helium balloons? Richard Ambrose and Jonny Phillips battle gravity and the weather in hopes of executing a balloon lift.
I Didn't Know That
I Didn't Know That: Lifting a Man With Helium Balloons?
Is it possible to lift someone off the ground using just helium balloons? Richard Ambrose and Jonny Phillips battle gravity and the weather in hopes of executing a balloon lift.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Ever since I was a kid I've always wanted to have a go at lifting someone off the ground using helium filled balloons and today my dreams come true.
RICHARD AMBROSE: Jonny I've done the calculations, to get me airborne we're gonna need at least 30,000 of these.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Yeah actually Rich I was thinking oF slightly bigger balloons.
RICHARD AMBROSE: Oh yeah.
RICHARD AMBROSE: And when Jonny said big balloons he meant BIG balloons. Look at the size of this thing, it's a whopper.
NARRATOR: And it's going to get bigger. When this balloon is fully inflated it'll have a diameter of two and a half metres, and it will hold over 7 cubic metres of helium, which is just about enough to lift 7 kilograms off the ground.
Now we're just testing this balloon and this weight is just under 7 kilograms and look at it.
NARRATOR: With Richard tipping the scales at a very healthy 96 kilograms, the boys are going to need to fill around 14 of these monster balloons to have any chance of getting him airborne.
NARRATOR: Everything's set. Everything that is, except the weather.
While the boys have been busy in the hangar, the perfect summer's day outside has been replaced by one with the wind gusting at up to 30 kilometres an hour. Not the ideal weather to fly balloons.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Alright Rich are you ready for this?
RICHARD AMBROSE: Oh yeah. Bring it on.
JONNY PHILLIPS: This is just one and it is fighting like anything.
RICHARD AMBROSE: Tie it on Jonny I'm ready to go up. More balloons.
NARRATOR: Attaching all 14 balloons in this wind was proving very difficult and it wasn't long before things started to go wrong.
RICHARD AMBROSE: Five balloons Oh ohhh Oh noo!!! Look at that 6! Think of Neil Armstrong. Think of the Wright Brothers Think of Richard and Jonny.
NARRATOR: But try as they might, in this wind, the maximum they could attach was 7 balloons, and that just wasn't enough to keep Richard in the air for any length of time.
RICHARD AMBROSE: And here we go again. Filling balloons takes a long, long time, but that's dedication for you.
NARRATOR: And after 3 to 4 hours of hard graft, we were ready to fly once more.
RICHARD AMBROSE: This is it the point of no return. Its time to get airborne.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Right all the balloons have been inflated, are you ready Rich?
RICHARD AMBROSE: I'm ready.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Here we go, now can you feel that? I have now attached...
RICHARD AMBROSE: Yeah that's quite a tug actually.
NARRATOR: We did this experiment to find out how much helium it would take to get Richard off the ground - and the answer is ... an awful lot.
RICHARD AMBROSE: I'm just a little bit light-footed now.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Right these are the last four balloons, and he's almost...
RICHARD AMBROSE: And I'm dying to go Jonny. I'm dying to go!!!
NARRATOR: In the end, we used 18 balloons, which hold approximately 96,000 litres of helium.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Yeahh....Ohhhh
JONNY PHILLIPS: Now after all that we have a success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NARRATOR: Well, nearly Richard, maybe you'd get a little higher if you stopped eating so many pies!

The Masters Quartet: Steve Kuhn, Dave Liebman, Buster Williams & Billy Hart
Four of the leading instrumentalists in jazz come together as "The Masters Quartet." Pianist Steve Kuhn first made his mark as a sideman with John Coltrane, Stan Getz, Chet Baker and Art Farmer. He grew beyond the powerful early influence of Bill Evans to become a unique stylist with an incredible technique and sense of dynamics and lyricism. Saxophonist Dave Liebman, a 2010 "NEA Jazz Master," learned directly from jazz icons, spending extensive periods as a member of groups led by Miles Davis and Elvin Jones. As a leader, Liebman has been associated since 1970 with a succession of extraordinary groups from Open Sky Trio to Lookout Farm to Quest, each of which has framed a distinct phase of his musical evolution. Master bassist Buster Williams is an empathetic sideman known for his subtle sense of swing. He began his professional career in 1960 with saxophonist Jimmy Heath going on to play with jazz legends Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughan, Herbie Hancock, Mary Lou Williams, Chet Baker, Dexter Gordon and many others. Legendary drummer Billy Hart has been a fixture on the jazz scene for over fifty years, performing and recording along the way with jazz legends Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinul, Herbie Hancock, Stan Getz and Miles Davis.

Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland walks off the course on the 18th hole, headed for the parking lot. The defending champion was 7 over through 8 holes in the second round and withdrew because of wisdom tooth pain. / Stuart Franklin, Getty Images
There was almost universal criticism of Rory McIlroy when he walked off the course just short of halfway through the second round of the Honda Classic on Friday.
Jack Nicklaus suggested during Sunday's broadcast on NBC McIlroy had made a big mistake.
"He shouldn't have walked off," Nicklaus said. "If he had thought about it for 5 minutes, he wouldn't have done it."
McIlroy evidently agrees, saying he realized his mistake moments after leaving the course.
"It was a reactive decision," McIlroy told Michael Bamberger of Sports Illustrated and Golf.com in an exclusive interview Sunday night, two hours after Michael Thompson won the Honda Classic. "What I should have done is take my drop, chip it on, try to make a five and play my hardest on the back nine, even if I shot 85. What I did was not good for the tournament, not good for the kids and the fans who were out there watching me - it was not the right thing to do."
McIlroy walked off the golf course after knocking his second shot into the water on the par-5 18th hole, He was 7 over par at the time, struggling mightily with his game. He initially said he was not in a good place mentally, then later released a statement saying he was struggling with wisdom tooth pain.
"I sincerely apologize to The Honda Classic and PGA Tour for my sudden withdrawal," McIlroy said in a statement, released by the Tour. "I have been suffering with a sore wisdom tooth, which is due to come out in the near future. It began bothering me again last night, so I relieved it with Advil. It was very painful again this morning, and I was simply unable to concentrate. It was really bothering me and had begun to affect my playing partners."
McIlroy also tweeted this, after he left the course: "Apologies to all at the Honda. A tough day made impossible by severe tooth pain. Was desperate to defend title but couldn't play on. Gutted"
It was a surprising move for the world No. 1, who had faced the music after blowing a four-shot lead in the final round of the 2011 Masters (he shot an 80). And he played in pain after injuring his wrist in the first round of the 2011 PGA. He finished out that week and tied for 64th.
McIlroy is still trying to get his game in sync, following his ballyhooed switch to Nike equipment. McIlroy continues to say it's about the swing and the timing more than the clubs.
Nicklaus told NBC he expects McIlroy to get it turned around.
"If you're too good a player, the clubs won't make too much of a difference," said Nicklaus, who then added that he used three different sets up clubs and multiple golf balls during his career. "I always felt that if you were talented enough, the clubs wouldn't be a problem. And he's too talented a player.
"He's a little frustrated with himself. â?¦ When Augusta rolls around, he'll be fine."
McIlroy is playing the Cadillac Championship at Doral this week and is to speak to the media on Wednesday. McIlroy is assured of playing four rounds in this World Golf Championship (which has no cut) for the first time all year. He missed the cut in Abu Dhabi, lost in the first round of the Match Play Championship and played only 26 holes of the Honda Classic.
McIlroy, who has joined Tiger Woods in the Nike stable and has studied the 14-time major champion his whole life, said he wishes he could have been like Woods on Friday.
"He might be the best athlete ever, in terms of his ability to grind it out," McIlroy told the magazine. "I could have a bit more of that, if I'm honest."
