Sold 2 blocks of SBUX (after hours trading) at 19.62.  I had purchased the shares at 18.62 on 1/3/07. The shares are up 1.52 at the moment due to the following:

“Co announcea a series of initiatives aimed at driving shareholder value by refocusing the co on providing customers with the distinctive Starbucks Experience and building on Starbucks legacy of innovation.
