Wine in the News: Bordeaux Bashing

A recent article in the New York Times by Eric Asimov about Bordeaux sent the wine world into a bit of a tizzy.* Apparently younger wine drinkers are turning their backs on Bordeaux, home of some of the most historic (and historically expensive) wines to seek out those with a better price and a more personal story.

Wheels within wheels – the scientific lifecycle

An oft-repeated message from scientists involved with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), mapping the human genome, the search for extraterrestrial life and other vast scientific projects, such as supercomputing experiments is that the tera-bytes, peta-bytes, perhaps even the yotta-bytes of data generated by large-scale projects is hard to handle, to say the least. Not only has there to be a way to manage the outpouring of data from the sensors, monitors, and arrays, but this data has to be channelled through the appropriate digital conduits, dumped into robust databases, processed in parallel, and finally interpreted by the scientists themselves. Only then can DNA be fully unravelled, ET phoned home about, and god in the particles revealed… A team at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and the Fluminense Federal University in Brazil hope to one day help big science address this big problem by finding ways to manage the scientific workflow on large-scale experiments.
