Chateau Leoville Poyferre St. Julien 2010
Chateau Leoville Poyferre - Bordeaux - France - Saint Julien
Professional Wine Reviews for Chateau Leoville Poyferre St. Julien 2010
Rated 98 by Robert Parker
The wine out distances both Leoville Las Cases and Leoville Barton, but all three of them are compelling efforts. Full-bodied, dense purple in color, with floral notes intermixed with blackberries, cassis, graphite and spring flowers, this full-bodied, legendary effort is long and opulent, with wonderfully abundant yet sweet tannin, a skyscraper-like mid-palate and a thrilling, nearly one-minute finish. This spectacular effort from Poyferre that should drink well for 30+ years.
Rated 93 by Wine Spectator

Rated 93 by Wine Spectator
Features a coating of warm cocoa, with notes of solid currant paste, steeped fig and blackberry fruit. The pastis- and graphite-filled finish pumps along, revealing a well-embedded structure that should soften in the cellar. Best from 2015 through 2030.

Vintage: 2010
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
Varietal: Red Bordeaux
The Bordeaux method of blending quality grape varietals is something which has long been imitated and envied around the world. Whilst there are six Bordeaux grape varietals allowed for the production of red wine in this region of France – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Carménere – the most common and widely used combination involves a careful blend of the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, usually with a small percentage of Petit Verdot to boost the overall flavor and balance things out. This process accentuates the finer points of all these varietals, and takes the astringency of one type whilst rounding it out and mellowing it with the light tannins and fleshiness of another. The results are rarely short of spectacular, and are perfect for oak aging, where the flavorful magic of Bordeaux wine making can really take place, and the complex aromas and characteristics can truly come forward.
Region: Bordeaux
The Bordeaux region of France is possibly the most famous and widely respected wine region in the world. Known primarily for its exceptional blended red wines, made most commonly with Cabernet Sauvigon, Merlot and Petit Verdot grape varietals, it also produces superb dry white wines (both blended and single variety), alongside the highly esteemed sweet wines of Sauternes. All of these wine types use a careful mix of traditional wine-making methods alongside modern techniques, as well as more experimental and unorthodox practices such as turning their grapes over to the noble rot which intensifies the flavors in the sweet wines. Bordeaux benefits greatly from its position amongst wide river basins, and the cooling Atlantic breezes which blow across the rolling vineyards which cover this region.
Country: France
French winemakers are subjected to several laws and regulations regarding the wines they produce, and how they can be labeled and sold. Such procedures are designed to increase the overall quality of the country's produce, and also to ensure that wines made in each particular region or appellation are of a character and type which is representative of the area. Thankfully for consumers of wine world-wide, the French have a particularly high reputation to uphold, and seem to do so flawlessly. Every year, wineries from all over France produce millions upon millions of bottles of fine wine, making the most of their native grape varieties and the excellent terrain which covers most of the country. From the expensive and exquisite red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, to the white wines and cremants of central France, the French are dedicated to providing the world with wines of the highest quality and most distinctive character.

Casino has signed a franchise deal with the Al Meera Consumer Goods Company to develop Geant hypermarkets in Qatar and Oman as part of the French retailer's bid to boost its presence in fast-growing regions.
December 15, 2011 3:33 by Reuters
The deal, whose financial terms were not disclosed, reinforces Casino's presence in the Middle East, where it already has a franchise deal with Retail Arabia to operate 10 Geant hypermarkets and Geant Easy supermarkets in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Bahrain.
Casino, which competes with Carrefour and privately held French retail chains Leclerc, Intermarche and Auchan, has been expanding in fast-growing emerging markets to offset slower growth in mature markets.
It has 2,200 stores outside France, mostly in Brazil and Colombia, Thailand and Vietnam, which made 40 percent of consolidated sales of 29 billion euros ($37.56 billion) last year. ($1 = 0.7721 euros) (Reporting by Dominique Vidalon; Editing by Helen Massy-Beresford)

Nearly half of New Year's resolutions are about setting health-related goals, which is the most popular category, according to a recent survey by online broker TD Ameritrade.
Rather than jumping into a rigorous fitness routine, a new app called 5K Runner suggests it might be better to ease into things slowly and focus on building sustainable habits. The iPhone app helps couch potatoes ramp up their running distance to 5 km over the course of eight weeks.
"You're slowly building this routine into your daily life with a lot of success and after eight weeks you're literally running 5K, which is pretty big if (initially) you're not running at all," said David-Michel Davies, the executive director of The Webby Awards, an annual ceremony honoring Internet companies.
The app guides runners through each run, alternating periods of running and walking for 35 minutes.
Davies also recommends Nike+ Running and RunKeeper, two popular and free fitness apps, which use GPS to track distance traveled, speed and calories burned. Both apps are available for iOS and Android devices.
Diet is another component of good health and a focus of many apps. Fooducate is an iPhone and Android app that helps shoppers make healthier purchases at the supermarket by allowing them to scan the barcodes of products and get insight into how healthy the product is.
Their database, which contains over 200,000 products, displays a grade for the product and information on its contents. It can show whether there are hidden additives or the probability of containing genetically modified ingredients.
"There are a lot of healthy people out there who unknowingly buy products that have an inordinate amount of salt in them," Davies said.
DietBet is an app for people with a competitive streak. Available for iPhone and on the Web, it allows its users to join in a four-week weight loss challenge to lose 4 percent of weight. Everyone bets money, which goes into a fund, and submits proof of weight lost. People who meet the challenge split the money.
"It comes back again to how people get motivated," Davies said. "Gamification is something that technology has really enabled and for some people it really works."
To stay on top of finances, Davies recommends Mint, which provides a visual view of all financial accounts and is available for iOS, Android and on the Web.

CBP testing mobile biometrics
July 30, 2015
Results of the Biometric Exit Mobile Air Test could form the basis of a new DHS entry-exit system.
David Stegon was a staff reporter for FedScoop and StateScoop from 2011-2014.
The Department of Veterans Affairs and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology are offering $50,000 in total prizes in a new challenge to redesign patient health records.
Entries will be judged based on overall appeal, patient usefulness, caregiver usefulness, physician usefulness, visual hierarchy, information density and accessibility.
From the contest:
Being able to access your health information on demand can be lifesaving in an emergency situation, can help prevent medication errors, and can improve care coordination so everyone who is caring for you is on the same page. However, too often health information is presented in an unwieldy and unintelligible way that makes it hard for patients, their caregivers, and their physicians to use. There is an opportunity for talented designers to reshape the way health records are presented to create a better patient experience.

A priest at Taranaki Base Hospital has been rushed to the emergency department after being stabbed this morning.
It is believed the chaplain suffered a knife wound to his arm in the hospital's chapel about 8.45am, police central communications Inspector Mike Colman said.
New Plymouth Sergeant Bruce Irvine said a large number of police were on the scene investigating the incident and hunting for the offender.
The alleged attacker is described as a male caucasian in his 20s, standing 5'10 tall, wearing a black hoodie, black pants with white stripes and black fingerless gloves.
He has short hair and a tattoo near his left eye, Irvine said.
A hospital spokeswoman said the chaplain was being looked after and is in a comfortable condition.
''He thanks everyone for the good wishes he has received and asks that the media respect his privacy as he recovers.''

One of the ways to increase scalability of services – and applications – is to go "stateless." The reasons for this are many, but in general by eliminating the mapping between a single client and a single app or service instance you eliminate the need for resources to manage state in the app (overhead) and improve the distributability (I can make up words if I want) of requests across a pool of instances. The latter occurs because sessions don't need to hang out and consume resources that could ...

Microservices has the potential of significantly impacting the way in which developers create applications. It's possible to create applications using microservices faster and more efficiently than other technologies that are currently available. The problem is that many people are suspicious of microservices because of all the technology claims to do. In addition, anytime you start moving things around in an organization, it means changing the status quo and people dislike change. Even so, micr...

Approved this February by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), HTTP/2 is the first major update to HTTP since 1999, when HTTP/1.1 was standardized. Designed with performance in mind, one of the biggest goals of HTTP/2 implementation is to decrease latency while maintaining a high-level compatibility with HTTP/1.1. Though not all testing activities will be impacted by the new protocol, it's important for testers to be aware of any changes moving forward.

Modern DevOps Tool Kit By @Logentries and @NewRelic | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #Containers #Microservices
Auto-scaling environments, micro-service architectures and globally-distributed teams are just three common examples of why organizations today need automation and interoperability more than ever. But is interoperability something we simply start doing, or does it require a reexamination of our processes? And can we really improve our processes without first making interoperability a requirement for how we choose our tools?

A Cloud migration project can be a relatively simple exercise, where applications are migrated 'as is', to gain benefits such as elastic capacity and utility pricing, but without making any changes to the application architecture, software development methods or busine...

The Internet of Things. Cloud. Big Data. Real-Time Analytics. To those who do not quite understand what these phrases mean (and let's be honest, that's likely to be a large portion of the world), words like "IoT" and "Big Data" are just buzzwords. The truth is, the Internet of Things encompasses much more than jargon and predictions of connected devices. According to Parker Trewin, Senior Director of Content and Communications of Aria Systems, "IoT is big news because it ups the ante: Reach out ...

Where the Network Got Invited to the Party By @LMacVittie | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #Docker #Containers #Microservices
At DevOps Summit NY there's been a whole lot of talk about not just DevOps, but containers, IoT, and microservices. Sessions focused not just on the cultural shift needed to grow at scale with a DevOps approach, but also made sure to include the network "plumbing" needed to ensure success as applications decompose into the microservice architectures enabling rapid growth and support for the Internet of (Every)Things.

Scientist/virologist during the week. I try to get out walking/climbing at the weekend as often as possible - not always easy, living in London at the moment, but I manage it.
Best Climbing Experience
Trad bumbling with friends! Big mountain days, I love the mountains.
Favourite Climbing-Related Discussion Topic
I'm a bit of a gear nerd. I also love talking about places to go climbing, so I can plan hypothetical trips. Then it's one step to turning hypothetical into reality!

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Product Overview
Alpha-Tocopherol is well-known for its potent antioxidant properties: however, each of the Tocopherols has important and unique activities. Gamma-Tocopherol, the most abundant form of Vitamin E in the diet, is especially important for optimal health, as it is necessary for the proper and complete action of Alpha-Tocopherol. Central to its functions is its capacity to detoxify and help the body to eliminate reactive nitrogen species, an especially destructive form of free radical. This product features a more natural combination of these forms that helps to support the maintenance of cardiovascular health, as well as to promote normal cell growth and reproduction.
Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of antioxidant vitamins may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer. However, the FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and not conclusive.
As a dietary supplement, take 1 softgel 1 to 2 times daily with food.
Softgel capsule (gelatin, glycerin, water) and soybean oil.
Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients. Produced in GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens.
Caution: For adults only. Consult physician if pregnant/nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.

We showered and later went back to our little restaurant. Amanda had the some local fish and I had chicken with a lemon sauce. It was delicious. We were alone in the restaurant.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
14 Sep 2011 00:06 GMT | Asia, Afghanistan
Taliban gunmen armed with suicide vests and heavy weaponry on Tuesday launched co-ordinated attacks in the Afghan capital, Kabul, targeting NATO's headquarters, the US embassy, and the Afghan intelligence agency.
Heavy gunfire continued to be heard late into the night as Afghan forces battled to clear a building in the city's diplomatic quarter which had been taken over by heavily armed fighters. Rockets have reportedly been fired at the US and other embassies in the area.
At least three policemen and four civilians have been killed and many others injured, according to police and hopsital sources.
Police surrounded the occupied building, calling in air support to flush out gunmen inside the building.
NATO has confirmed that they are providing Afghan forces ground and air support in the operation.
Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, condemned the attacks and and said it could not not hamper the security transition from NATO to Afghan forces.
"The attacks cannot stop the process [transition] from taking place and cannot affect, but rather embolden our people's determination in taking the responsibility for their country's own affairs," Karzai said in a statement.
Multiple explosions
Only an hour after the attack near the US embassy, heavy explosions were heard in other parts of the city.
Just a few kilometres away in the west of Kabul, a suicide bomber detonated himself near a police building, killing one policeman.
A second suicide bomber wounded two people when he detonated himself near Habibia high school also in the west of the city.
"The primary targets of the attackers are the intelligence agency building and a ministry," Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesperson for the Taliban, told the Reuters news agency on Tuesday from an undisclosed location.
The US embassy in Kabul said no personnel had been reported injured.
NATO's International Security Assistance Force's (ISAF) headquarters in Kabul was also one of the targets in the ongoing Taliban attack in the centre of the city, a Western military source told the AFP new agency.
Mohammad Zahir, head of Kabul's Crime Investigation Unit, said: "There has been an explosion and gunfire, there are several armed attackers in Abdul Haq Square. There could be suicide bombers but it is unclear at the moment."
Police and other security officials blocked roads around the US embassy and other diplomatic missions.
'Security transition'
The White House said US President Barack Obama was briefed on the attacks targeting the US embassy and NATO headquarters.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called it a "cowardly attack" that would not deter US efforts.
"We will take all necessary steps, not only to ensure the safety of our people, but to secure the area and to ensure that those who perpetrated this attack are dealt with," Clinton told reporters.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, NATO's secretary-general, said he was confident Afghan forces could deal with the Taliban assault.
He added that efforts by Taliban fighters to derail NATO's handover of security responsibility to Afghan forces by 2014 would not work.
"We are witnessing that the Taliban try to test transition but they can't stop it. Transition is on track and it will continue," he told reporters after talks with Andris Berzins, the Latvian President.
The attack in Kabul follows a huge truck bomb attack on a NATO base in central Afghanistan in which four Afghan civilians were killed and 77 US troops wounded, on the eve of the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Last month, Taliban attackers laid siege to the British Council, killing at least nine people during anhours-long assault on the 92nd anniversary of Afghanistan's independence from British rule.
Violence in Afghanistan is at its worst since US-backed Afghan forces toppled the Taliban government in late 2001, with high levels of foreign troop deaths and record civilian casualties.

It was like having Carol Burnett in my house telling these stories. I grew up watching her show. When I watched her I just knew we were friends. The book confirmed it.
Carol, duh!
Her book would have been amazing anyway, I know her style of speaking and would have read it that way. Her telling her own story and chuckling at moments reliving the story made it special.
Yes, and I did. I apologize to my family for not making dinner that night.
"Love Carol Burnett!"
This is another memoir that would not have made the same impact if read by anyone but the author. I am not sure I would have liked the book as much if I had read it the traditional way! You can read about Carol doing her Tarzan yell or you can actually hear her do it. It is just not the same! I loved Carol growing up and still do. She is an American icon. I cannot express how much I loved this book!
"Funny and heart warming."
Yes, each chapter was a new story.
Carol's narration. She made it very personal, like she was having a conversation with you.
There were many.

"A Great and Fun Read"
I would recommend this audiobook. It was a Fun Read....
It couldn't have been done by any one else. Carol put her heart in it. With all the quirks and punchlines. This was the main reason I purchase it..
Yes. it was. I didn't get to read it in one sitting, but I could have...
"I have been a fan of Carol for forty years."
I would recommend. It is very enjoyable but I wouldn't necessarily call it light because of the difficulties Carol had to overcome. I found myself going to youtube to watch clips of 'The Carol Burnett' and laughing. Her stories about meeting other celebrities are very interesting to a movie fan like myself.
This compares to Anthony Bourdain's ' Kitchen Confidential'. Both books made me smile and think.
I love Carol Burnett's voice as narrator and you could never get this in a regular book.
"A read by the author makes it that much better."
This audio edition was better for me than the printed version as it was read by the author with all the inflections in the right place and the meaning is crystal clear. It's a double whammy, an interesting story and a really good performance. And as always with an audio book, one can listen while completing mundane tasks. My husband is deployed I'm in a foreign country, just me and the dog. Carol Burnett kept me company for two days, and what good company it was. Thank you Ms. Burnett.
The most interesting parts are tales of Carol Burnett's childhood, being raised by her Grandmother and how she broke into show business. Carol Burnett is a woman of great stamina and perserverance, talent and guts, and her general cheerfulness and willingness to see the best in others is inspirational.
I have not listened nor read any of Carol Burnett's other books, so I am unaware of how this books compares.
I listened to this book over the course of two days while doing chores and working on hobbies. I'll save this one and listen to it again.
"Like visiting with Carol"
The author is not the world's best narrator, but since Carol Burnett is reading her own memoir, and since her voice is so well known to those of us who love her, having her narrate is like sitting down with her to reminisce. Wonfderful book.
I love AUDIBLE because my drive to work and return home are a delight. Thank you for making audio books so easy to enjoy.
"This time together: Carol Burnett"
The best part is that Carol Burnett is still Carol Burnett. Timeless. Funny. Most importantly, REAL. A good person having lived a good life, who gets it that she's been really blessed, Carol is a delight to listen to. Unafraid to show real emotion in her telling of her own story, this is the best audible I've heard in 15 years of listening. Well done, lady!
"Now I want to buy DVDs of her old shows"
This was such an entertaining book, and Carol's narration really makes a difference. It is fun to hear her describe some of her old skits since I can remember seeing them when they were originally aired. You feel like you are reminiscing with an old friend. A superb book!
Doggy lady
"Didn't realize how much I missed Carol."
This book is definitely top tier of the books I've listened to, and it is Carol's own personal touch that makes it so worthwhile.
Carol, of course, it is her autobiography.
It was real, it was from her heart.
Yes, I laughed out loud and I teared up. It was a terrific insight into Carol, the person.

Red Obsession: China's expensive love for status wines
Documentary Red Obsession follows how rising French wine prices created a new market among status-conscious Chinese.

Red Obsession
A documentary about China's status-driven obsession for Bordeaux wines. Directed by David Roach and Warwick Ross. Opening Sept. 27 at TIFF Bell Lightbox. 78 minutes.
Red Obsession, a documentary about how France's top-tier wine industry found new life thanks to a voracious Chinese market for anything named "Lafite" introduces a whole new kind of wine snob: one who cares less about what's in the bottle than what's on the label.
Directed by David Roach and Warwick Ross, Red Obsession is narrated by Russell Crowe, who starred as a reluctant vintener in Ridley Scott's A Good Year (2006).
Despite being a rather thin, by-the-books documentary that abruptly changes course at the halfway mark, Red Obsession tells a fascinating financial tale about the rise of "wine fever" in China.
While the winemakers of France dominate the first part of the film, talking talk about love, magic and mystery in the glass while wandering amid the vines of their storied Bordeaux chateaux, the reality is, fine wine is becoming a commodity far too expensive to drink.
With bottles from Bordeaux selling for hundreds and even thousands of euros — and more — thanks to two superb back-to-back vintages in 2009 and 2010 and wine being traded like blue-chip stocks, a new super-consumer willing to spend whatever it takes to get "name" wines has emerged in China.
We're introduced to characters like the Chinese sex-toy king Peter Tsenge, whose 50,000-bottle cellar filled with vintage treasures is worth some $60 million and the Chinese woman who was so tired of bidders slowly ratcheting up auction prices, she flipped her paddle up and trilled: "1.5 million (euros)" to get the wine she coveted. She's not sure she'll drink it.
French winemaker Château Lafite Rothschild was happy to jump on the bandwagon, adding the Chinese symbol for the lucky number 8 on its 2008 vintage bottles.
When even an empty bottle of Lafite goes for 500 euros (there is a booming underground economy in counterfeit wines), can the prices hold? The answer comes quickly. When the lousy weather of 2011 leads to a poor vintage, the market immediately sours.
Like a bottle of champagne, the effects of this "wine bubble" go flat not long after opening, a cautionary tale about turning art and beautiful things like it — including wine — into a commodity.

Lit Motors C-1 gyroscopically-stabilised vehicle
A revolutionary new vehicle promising to fuse the practicality of a car with the two-wheeled manoeuvrability of a motorbike will reach the UK in 2014, the creators have told Pocket-lint.
The Lit C-1 is the brainchild of Danny Kim, who says it is one of the first two-wheeled vehicles to focus on safety. While having a sculpted Momo steering wheel, pedals, airbags, seatbelts, a sunroof and all the weather protection you'd expect from a car, it is the technology inside the C-1 that makes it viable.
Located under the floor are electronically controlled gyroscopes that churn out over 1,300 lb/ft of torque and keep the vehicle balanced on two wheels at the lights and even in a collision.
In-wheel 40kw electric motors provide power and regeneration, at least one of those motors being a high-performance Remy HVH unit, coupled to a battery pack. This combination, along with the slippery body, equals a 120mph top speed, rest to 60mph in between six and eight seconds and 200 miles per charge. Charging will take around six hours on a 120V connection.
Saving the planet was certainly a motivation for Kim, but the initial idea was sparked by a Land Rover. Kim was re-engineering two Defender 90s when one of the 500lb chassis fell off its stands and almost crushed him.
While recovering and contemplating his near-death experience Kim decided that he was focusing his attention on a vehicle that was far too large and cumbersome for a city driver.
"He wondered why he was designing 'the perfect SUV', when the average person didn't need such a vehicle," explains Ryan James, chief marketing officer at California-based Lit Motors. "If the average commuter drives alone with minimal cargo, why not make a vehicle designed specifically for that? And that inspired Danny to 'cut the car in half'."
Early tests have shown that the gyroscopes certainly keep the C-1 upright, whether you select forward or reverse. But what happens if the system fails? Casually rolling on to your side in a motorised egg at the lights is going to be embarrassing at best.
"Every critical system is double or triple-redundant, with mechanical backups in case of complete electrical failure," adds James. "We're considering every possible scenario to ensure safety in all conditions."
Through the bends the gyroscopes will readjust to allow the 295kg C-1 to lean, just like a regular motorcycle. "The handling should be very quick and sporty," explains James. "It won't be exactly like anything before it - similar to a car, a motorcycle, and an aeroplane all in one. It will be quite exhilarating."
This bells and whistles range-topper will initially go into small-scale production in 2014 for $24,000 (£15,430), and if all goes well a larger production run is planned after, with a retail price of $16,000 (£10,286). The C-1 employs H2V, H2C, V2I, and V2V connectivity. Traffic, construction, and adverse weather conditions are transmitted to the vehicle, informing the driver and vehicle about the current situation and advising different routes.
Not content with being a unique special, the C-1 will provide the basis for a number of other models, the company reveals. These will include lower cost models for developing countries. James says Lit Motors has already taken pre-orders in the UK for the first production run in 2014. A dealership network still needs to be established but this will be ready for the launch.
"With regard to bringing it to Europe we don't foresee any hurdles that we can't overcome," says James. "The main difference will be assuring that we conform to all applicable regulations and standards, which we will. It should fit right into the strong two-wheeled culture already present in Europe. And we won't have to make a right-hand drive version."

A New Model For Special Ed; Voucher Plan Could Ease Mass. Woes
June 15, 2003
Jay P. Greene
Since Massachusetts has special education enrollment rates well above the national average, the states schools labor under both the high cost of special education services and the burden of lawsuits brought by dissatisfied parents.
No one is happy with the current system and it is time to consider alternatives to how we ensure services for disabled students.
Under the current model, public schools and families agree on a document that outlines what services schools will provide. This document, an Individual Education Plan, is essentially a contract between schools and families. If schools fail to deliver on the services promised in the IEP, families can take their schools to court and force them to comply.
Though it might seem like an IEP backed up by the threat of legal action would be an excellent way to guarantee appropriate services for disabled students, in practice this formal, legalistic process is highly inefficient and often fails to protect special education students while causing excessive paperwork and legal fees for public schools.
But according to a new study by the Manhattan Institute, Florida has adopted a promising fix to the defects of the IEP process by offering disabled students the option of receiving a voucher if they are dissatisfied with their public school.
For the current system to work, families have to be sophisticated enough to demand that all of their childrens needs are fully and clearly addressed in the IEP document. Schools are experienced at writing IEPs and often might seek to minimize the level of expensive services they are required to provide.
Even if the IEP does fully and clearly specify what students need, schools may fail to live up to their obligations. Families can then go to court, but to do so they have to be aware that this legal option is available, have the resources to pursue it against school districts that command far greater resources, and have the stomach to engage in a serious conflict with the same people who are taking care of their children every day.
Clearly, there are good reasons why most families would not be willing to pursue this legal option until their schools failure to serve their children adequately became very serious. This means that under the current system schools can get away with providing substandard services as long as their failures arent so flagrant that parents are driven to the costly and unpleasant option of a lawsuit. Whats more, lower-income and minority families who may be less aware of their legal options and have fewer resources to devote to a courtroom battle are significantly more likely to be taken advantage of under this model of accountability.
The availability of some free legal advice and the work of advocacy groups does help alleviate the problems that are inherent in the IEP accountability model, but it is clear that the present system is not functioning well.
Schools complain bitterly about the paperwork necessary to avoid lawsuits and the expense of having to defend against them, while the high cost of going to court makes parents feel forced to accept whatever their schools offer. It is a system that only a lawyer could love.
Florida is trying a very promising approach, however, to supplementing the IEP model in a way that gives families another alternative. The McKay Scholarship Program provides families who are dissatisfied with the special education services at their public school the option to either attend a different public school or use a voucher to attend a private school that might better serve their needs.
Rather than having to engage in legal combat to ensure adequate services for their children, parents can simply look for better services elsewhere. Now in its third full year of operation, more than 9,000 students out of nearly 375,000 eligible special education students in Florida are participating in McKay.
The Manhattan Institute study finds that parents in the McKay program are being served better than they had been in public schools. More than 90 percent of McKay parents report being satisfied or very satisfied with various aspects of the education their children receive at private schools, compared to less than a third who were similarly satisfied with their prior public schools.
McKay students enjoy class sizes at private schools that are roughly half as large on average as the 25-student classes they experience in public school, with no additional cost to taxpayers. In addition, McKay students left public-school environments in which nearly half of them were harassed often and nearly a quarter were physically assaulted for their disability, and entered private-school environments where roughly 5 percent were similarly victimized. The McKay program has offered these families an avenue other than legal action for obtaining better services.
And parents do not seem to miss the IEP process. Fewer than a third of the families participating in McKay report that their prior public school provided all of the services required by their IEP. By contrast, almost 90 percent report that the private schools they attend under McKay have delivered on the services they promised to provide.
The IEP was no guarantee of adequate services, while the ability to choose a different school is providing a more effective tool for ensuring that disabled students needs are met.
Many families of special education students are satisfied with the services provided by their public schools, but many other families are not satisfied.
Will we continue to require that those dissatisfied families accept whatever they get or sue to improve their situation? Or will we provide those families with the option of pursuing better services elsewhere?
The evidence from Floridas McKay Scholarship Program suggests that Congress and other states should consider McKay-like models to improve upon the system by which we serve disabled students.
