U.S. is the Biggest Wine Drinking Country in the World
Vino anyone? It seems we have been drinking up — and often — as the U.S. has become the world’s biggest consumer of wine.
Statistics released at by Vinexpo and International Wine and Spirit Research (ISWR) showed the United States consumed the equivalent of 3.7 billion bottles of wine in 2011. Americans surpassed the traditional wine-guzzling nations: France, Italy, Spain, Austria, and Germany. China, which is one of the fastest growing markets, knocked England out of fifth place.

This image from a computational simulation run of the newly created wires shows electron density as electrons flow from left to right. The wires are 20 times smaller than the smallest wires now available and measure just four atoms wide by one phosphorus atom tall.
A wire that is just four atoms wide and one atom tall, yet works just as well as the ordinary copper wires running behind your wall, was recently created by an international team of scientists.
The breakthrough brings closer to reality a future where computers smaller than a pinhead are faster and more powerful than some of today’s supercomputers, according to the researchers.
Such so-called quantum computers will require wires to get information in and out of the quantum bits, or qubits, that perform calculations, explained Gerhard Klimeck, an electrical and chemical engineer at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind.

Eli Manning, Champion of SB-46
Well, if there had ever been any doubts about Eli Manning, you can really scratch that now.
The Pats wanted a second shot at Eli and settle something, and instead, the only account that has been settled is, of course, who’s better.
The Giants have beaten not once, but twice, a team considered the best in the NFL for the past 10 years, at least.
They Giants deserved their win, and the Pats deserved their loss. They’re a team of cheaters, and got what it’s was coming to them. A worldwide embarassment.
Anyway, this was all about Eli Manning. Now, between the two Manning brothers, one question: who’s better?
At least for now, Eli’s got two rings on his fingers already!
