The three-minute clip, which was posted to the Google Video platform in 2006, showed four youths in the Italian city of Torino teasing an autistic classmate and throwing tissues at him. At least 12,000 people clicked on the video before Google took it down following a formal complaint from the Italian Interior Ministry...

He's working on the menus for six new restaurants at Eataly, the massive Italian food emporium that...
...there in the kitchen every night, but it's my food," he tells TIME. Batali may be working on all of the restaurants, but the one his heart seems to be in the most is the meat restaurant, which will feature two kinds of beef: a grass-fed Italian Piedmontese variety in various raw preparations ("tartare, carpaccio, a little raw-meat salad with apples ...") as well as a grain-fed superbeef that will be engineered at Carnevino by beef guru Adam Perry Lang. "Mario is really out of control with this new project," a young cook told...
