...star] | What They're Drinking In Italy: Italy's agriculture ministry has announced it will allow wines produced under its DOC (denominazione di origine controllata) quality-assurance label to be sold in boxes, in response to requests from DOC winemakers in the Trentino-Alto Adige region. Vintners note that boxes are cheaper and more eco-friendly than glass and can keep wine fresh longer. But while boxed wine may be losing its lowbrow stigma, hold on to that corkscrew: wines with the tonier DOCG (denominazione di origine controllata e garantita) designation are still bottle-only...
...Nirvana's early recordings. Ultimately, it's the big national labels that cash in on local sounds.

When pressed on the question-shouldn't the Army's top doc have an opinion on whether or not PTSD warrants a Purple Heart?- he punted. "Whether or not a medal should be awarded is not in my purview," he said. "The senior operational commander in the Army needs to decide that." It's evidence of the sensitivity of the issue that even...
...more easily avoided. The electronic chart automatically alerts doctors when the drugs they prescribe are inappropriate or could cause harmful interactions with medicine a patient is already taking. Young's patients even note typos in their charts, corrections that could avert disaster. "They'll point out things like, 'Hey, doc, I had my left coronary artery operated on, but you've got right written down here,'" Young says. "It's an important distinction...
