Get noticed.
Nearly 3/4 of all crashes between bikes and cars occur at intersections, and not surprisingly most of those occur in the evening hours when the light is fading and everyone is tired and trying to get home after a long day. Often enough, motorists simply drive right into cyclists. Light and Motion recognizes the need to be more visible from all directions, not just from the front and the back. That's why they have created their Vis series of lights. The Vis 180 Tail Light is not only a tail light, as it has sidelights as well to make you more visible and safer out on the mean streets.
The Vis 180 Tail Light has amber side lights just like the ones on your car. This allows drivers to see you through 180 of arc as opposed to simply being visible from the rear. So as you ride through that sketchy intersection next time, you'll know that drivers will be able to see you clearly even if their lights are not directly shining on the reflective stripe on your jacket. The glaring 70 lumens output is enough to be seen from great distances. The Vis 180 Tail Light is easily mounted on most seatpost sizes and shapes via an adjustable thick rubbery strap. A built-in ratchet system will allow you to position it so that no matter what angle it's mounted at, it has the greatest effect to be seen. It has a rechargeable Li-ion battery pack that powers the tail light for 4 hours continuously and 8 hours on the flash setting. When the time comes for a recharge, the micro USB port accepts a charge from your computer or most phone chargers. It takes 4.5 hours to get the battery pack juiced back up to full power.
- Easily mounts to bag, bike, or helmet, which allows you to pick your placement or use multiple lights
- 4.5 hour recharge time is easily accomplished during the work day
- 4-to-8 hour run time lasts all night
- Amber sidelights
- Visible from 180 degrees
- 4 to 8 hour run time
- Rechargeable Li-ion battery pack with micro USB port

What do you think of the
Light & Motion Vis 180 Tail Light
? Share a...
Is the bag clip for this secure?
Debbie C
Yes, it is. just make sure that you 'ratchet' it down tightly; (the little red button on the side of the light enables the 'arm' to pivot outwards, or totally inwards towards device to accommodate a wide variety of attachment needs; but you must make sure the button 'pops' back out to 'lock' it into place. Also important of course is the type of 'loop', or whatever you are attaching it to must be sturdy and secure; as some seat-bags' loops are flimsy or very large. These are also perfect for the Osprey hydration packs! I mountain/road bike and yet to have this light bounce off, yet!
Is this really 35 lumens? Shouldn't it be 70 lumens for the current model?
Grant Kates
Hey paulbrown1037647,
You are correct, this has been updated and is now 70 lumens. The specs will be fixed on the site soon. Thanks!

"Let There Be Light"!!!
L&M Taz 1200 & Vis 180 Tail Light, clipped to a 'L' Lezyne seat bag...(bike frame 17.5) works!
Of course a smaller bag, or no bag, will allow you to clip the light right to the seat post. I just like to travel prepared, and so use the larger seat bag for tools, etc., and a hydration pack for first aid kit, food, extra clothes, or jacket, as needed, etc. Ya, kind of like campcycling! Better to be prepared as best you can, I believe.
Note the *side lights on both front and back lights; the side lights on the tail light alone a very, very bright...way more than appears in this shot.
Debbie C
Perfect for road bikes, but also for mtn
Again, it's far brighter than it appears here.
Debbie C
Not enough room on your seat post?
No problem...can be clipped to your seat bag (provided the bag has a tab on the back), like this Lezyne seat bag, which features a 'loop' which you can clip a tail light (or extra reflector). Ditto Osprey hydration packs like Raptor/Raven, for example.
Debbie C
The "Front Office"...Taz
Awesome lights, both front and back-end. Everyday camera doesn't do them justice. Recommend the Taz 1200 & the Vis 180! They'll see ya coming & going!
Debbie C
Ya...It's THAT BRIGHT!
L&M even went so far as to put a 'warning' on the box...(for those who don't know any better, I guess!); this things' brightness is no joke!
Debbie C
"Designed AND Assembled in the USA"!!!
Outstanding awards, and strict compliances. A true QUALITY company...and imagine...located right here in the US (lets keep some $, and support our work force here at home, when possible)!

Info from L&M VIS 180 box
Info of Interest listed on box.
*Notice the 'groves' on the upper corner of the light, the facilitate positioning light perpendicular to the ground when attaching to seat post. The clip ratchets into place in selected grove and 'locks in'.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Light does just what it was designed to do: make you visible to cars...even from quite a distance away; and in adverse weather conditions!
Pity the riders who get stuck riding behind you! Using the low setting will 'help', but it is still incredibly bright; but a tail light should be, right?!
This thing is built solidly, too...has a little 'heft' to it, but not cumbersome at all; pretty slick-looking actually. Love the versatility, as well: can position to adjust to your attachment needs (whether to the seat post, saddle bag, jersey, or hydration pack).
Camera really doesn't do it justice as to the lumens this thing blast out! It truly supersedes all others out there.
Can't recommend it enough...your life is worth it!
*Also recommend L&M Taz 1200 (when available again). Voted as *best overall beam pattern by mountainbikereview.com...where you can actually view the different lights and their beam patterns, and evaluations...pretty cool.
Lupine still has the most lumens & best overall tech, if you have about $1K+...go for it! This was more inline with my budget and I have no regrets....would someday love to get the Lupine *Wilma, but until then...
Debbie C
Water Resistance? How has this light...
Water Resistance? How has this light handled getting caught riding in rain/drizzle?
Thanks :)
Confucius say - will be working many years in the rain and inclement weather :) Good light ;)
Debbie C
Just got this awesome light (just haven't rode through the rain with it yet...will find out for sure soon enough!)...will post IF there are any problems afterwards...
I have been riding with the Vis 180 most days while commuting since December 2010. It has been incredibly reliable for me in rain and snow. Often times I haven't had fenders on the bike to keep the road spray and mud away and still no issues. The seal for the USB plug port is really well done, much better than anything on a Garmin computer or other supposedly waterproof electronics. I'll bet I can get another 3 years at least out of this, maybe many more. You might actually consider getting the smaller light and motion tail light, since I think this one is sometimes too bright, especially when you have other cycllist's around.
Jonathan Nellis
Does anyone have any experience mounting...
Does anyone have any experience mounting this to a seat post that is not round and has a pointy trailing edge? The back half of my Dogma seat post resembles a triangle in cross section and the front a half circle. Does it stay in place without rigging up some sort of home made solution? :D
Don Myers
That is a great question. I have done some homework on your compatibility question. There is a good chance you might have issues depending on the diameter post and not the shape. If the diameter is the issue, you can always clip light to most seat bags that have a loop. . If you have any additional questions or concerns, just email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
I get pretty close to maxing out the strap on a 31.6 mm seat post, it only leaves me a couple of loops to work with. You can mount the light on the seat stays as well, just turn it upside down if you want the light perpendicular to the ground. Or like Don said, mount it to a saddle bag with a loop. You can also clip it to a back pack or a jersey pocket (not reccomended). You might also consider the Vis 360. It adds some weight to your helmet, but is a good way to see and be seen. It is easy enough to take off the helmet and store in your jersey pocket when you don't want to use it.
Debbie C
...also, can be clipped to some hydration packs, like Osprey (*Raven & *Raptor, for example, have a loop that can accommodate a light/extra reflector).
Jonathan, Light & Motion now (as of 2014) sell an aero adapter for their Vis 180 lights so that they can be fitted to aero seat posts. I don't have an aero bike so I can't comment on its effectiveness, but you might want to check it out if you still have the light and the same bike.

A lighthouse in the dark
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Sure, this is pricier than your average commuter tail light, but it's worth every penny. I use this when I'm night riding on my mountain bike, since I have to commute about 10 min on the road to get to the trailhead, and when I road ride after work at dusk.
It truly is visible from both the sides and the back - cars definitely give me more space when the Vis 180 is on my bike because they can see me from further away and have plenty of time to move over.
The light mount is super simple and fits snuggly on my seatpost. I usually try to recharge it after every 2-3 rides, but I've gone longer without, and have yet to run out of juice during a ride.

The Best
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had this for 3 years now and it is awesome. I don't worry about cars seeing me. I know they do. I actually use the lower blinking setting because max is sometimes too bright. There is nothing better on the market.

Coworkers comment on how visible this light is compared to my old blinking light! High quality construction and does not flinch at rain.

Sounds great...how are the headlights from...
Sounds great...how are the headlights from this brand? Any recommendations...don't want to cut corners. Any one hear/had any experience with "Lupine Lighting", if so, how do they compare quality-wise?
For any others having the same query: Check out the "Light Shoot-Out" on *Mountainbike review.com, where they test (and show the actual beams) of most all brands. That said, this tail light, and the L&M Taz headlight were 'voted' best overall beam. While the Lupine Lighting won best tech....but also the most costly, which is why I ended up 'defaulting' to the Vis 180 & Taz 1200 (lots less $ but still high quality!). Check it out:)
Duncan Poling
Light and Motion is the company that I turn to every time I need lights. Admittedly, they are a little pricey... but as we all know, "you get what you pay for."I have been using my"Light and Motion URBAN300" for commuting, and it is perfect in every way. There are brighter and more expensive lights out there, but the 300 was able to satisfy all of my requirements at a lower price: It is bright and visible, easy to use, rechargeable, and casts a beam that lights up the road surface. I am not certain if all Light and Motion headlamps operate the same, but my 300 has four brightness settings, one strobe (always gets noticed). It also has the same side LEDs as the 180 taillight for added visibility. Plus, it came with a helmet mount, although I prefer to mount it directly to my handlebars.
Can't comment on "Lupine Lighting," I have never used any of those products. What I can recommend is that you should choose a lamp with a rating of at least 150 lumens and some form of side illumination. Good luck, and stay safe!
OK, so you're going to get two answers for evaluation, and for mine, I will say that I've never used any L&M light (I came across your inquiry while looking at an L&M taillight).
I have a Lupine Wilma which is accurately rated at 2800 lumens. Yes, 2800!!! At its highest setting (I have four settings programmed in, each significantly brighter than the last, with the fourth setting being full-on). I'll just say that I have no problem seeing ANYTHING on the road, even if I'm descending at 45+ mph. Was it expensive? Yes, but one crash would make what I paid inconsequential (and I know first hand - $25K later after a (daytime) accident of mine, and a subsequent collarbone surgery, a Lupine is a drop in the bucket... thankfully, I have insurance which covered 80%).
I also commute in Southern California (south Orange County), so being seen by the many motorists I encounter is a high-priority... I've had drivers in front of me "flash" me with their high-beams because they're getting hit with so much light.
Crazy thing is the Wilma is not Lupine's brightest - that goes to the Betty (got to love their names) which comes in at 3600 lumens. Yikes.
Now back to checking out L&M taillights here on the wonderful Competitive Cyclist (kudos to them for allowing the posting of info about stuff they don't sell... they're a great company). I hope my input helps you, and others.
Debbie C
That's great, and was my first choice, as well! Would be great if Comp.cyclist/Backcountry would offer this awesome brand. It's insane what some (many) cyclist use for night riding...you scarcely can see them, and I highly doubt they can 'see' very much, as well (not to mention the lack of reflective elements to help with visibility)...just not worth cutting corners to save some $, and possibly lose their life!
Janet Kaplar
great light ~ worth the extra $$
Duncan Poling
Elegant Mounting Design
The most important feature of a tail light, aside from overall visibility, is the mounting mechanism. A tail light will do you no good if it is not aimed at the eyes of approaching motorists! Considering the fact that most seat posts angle toward the road, the tail light has to be positioned in a way that allows the light to travel upward, not down onto your rear tire! This hinged mount does an excellent job and makes it easy to get attention.

So, my blood pressure is still high in spite of increasing the labetalol again, so I'm wondering...
If you're a chronic, was it unmasked by pregnancy, or did you have the condition before you conceived?
How long did it take to get it under control? Did you have to switch medications?
Did you have to switch during pregnancy? How did it go?
If it was new with your pregnancy, did you get it under control during the pregnancy?
Did you go on bedrest? Did it help?
I'm stressing out over this, and I'm hoping to hear from others who've been on this particular roller coaster. I just want this to straighten out so I won't have to worry so much.

Expand your tastes, I like to roast red peppers, onions, broccoli, green beans, etc. I cut veggies, put in a quart plastic bag, add olive oil and balsamic, garlic salt and pepper. Mix so everything is coated and bake. MMMMMMMMM No leftovers,Ever!!!
Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
From EatingWell: January/February 2008
Roasting isn't usually the first cooking method you think of for cauliflower but the results are quite delicious. The florets are cut into thick slices and tossed with extra-virgin olive oil and herbs. Wherever the flat surfaces come into contact with the hot roasting pan, a deep browning occurs that results in a sweet, nutty flavor.
108 Reviews for Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
I'm trying this receipe tonight but not sure where i would find the marjoram can any one tell me..I cant wait this sounds so delicious. I live in los angeles california.
Fantastic! I loved it - 450 was fine. I didn't use any marjoram or other spice, just olive oil, salt/pepper, vinegar and parm. You've got to use great balsamic vinegar. I liked the cauliflower so much that I adapted the recipe for brussel sprouts - unbelievably tasty. Even my kids (who hate almost all vegetables) inhaled the brussel sprouts. (Quarter the sprouts and roast.)
DR, Chicago, IL
Like other reviewers I was never a fan of cauliflower -- until this recipe. I loved it, my kids loved it. And so easy.
This was fantastic. My husband and I are big fans of oven roasted broccoli so it was a natural to try the cauliflower. I had no problems with the high oven temperature. It carmelized beautifully and we loved the slight tang of the balsamic vinegar along with the nuttiness of the cheese.

Rated 4.9 out of 5Â by 10 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Tiger, tiger, burning bright... Awesome cardigan! Just a wonderfully soft and cozy addition to my FP closet for fall. It is just a bit oversized but perfect to wear over just about anything by FP. There are three nice big silver buttons running down the front of the cardi. The string loops for the buttons are set out from the edge; therefore, the cardi does not meet or overlap in the front and creates a gap if that is important to you. Pockets are set just a bit low, but they are still useful for keeping your hands warm. The colors are brighter than the catalog shot but just a bit more muted than the studio shots: the bright blue is true and the red is actually more of a rust. Can't wait for the weather to get a little cooler to wear this! 9.7.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by kaela Pretty! But.. Itchy It took me a really long time to decide if I was going to take the plunge and buy this or not. I finally caved in, and I am SO very glad I did. I went for a size small because that's what was available at the time. I normally go for an XS in FP sweaters. I would say it runs true to size because the S is a bit big on me, somewhat bulky also- but nothing that I can't deal with. I saw a few reviews that say this sweater isn't itchy.. I may have sensitive skin because I feel like any sweater that has wool in it from FP happens to be itchy to my skin which is why I didn't give it 5 stars. I solve the problem by wearing a long sleeve shirt with this cardi. Anyway, this cardigan is still so amazing and cozy!! :) 11.20.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by allievoge Meow I am so happy I bought this sweater. It was exactly what I thought it would be. It is so unique and I know when I look back on this I will be so happy I bought it. I always get compliments when I wear it. I'm petite but it is still prefect for me. I do wish the inside was lined though, it can be snagged if your not careful. 11.7.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LaLa8617 Words Cannot Describe This sweater is so amazing. I'm completely obsessed with it and I wish I could wear it everyday! I'm 5'9 and 145 lbs and I bought the Medium which fits me perfectly. I would HIGHLY recommend this sweater. My only complaint is that the buttons get loose really easily and I have had to adjust and help sew them back on which has been frustrating. 10.28.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by gossamerdreams boho bliss cardi this must be the must awesome cardi. ever. so glad i purchased it. its supersoft, fits true to size and like the first reviewer says, does not quite close, but its supposed to be like that. Its thick but not heavy to wear and has a hand-knit vibe to itEverything is perfect except the pockets a little too low for comfort and it doesn't have a hood, which would have been awesome (and as it for some obscure reason says in description) But this is allright, everything else is perfection. I am 5'4'', 105 lbs and 32C and the XS fits me well. Sleeves reach mid finger and hem ends 2/3 down my thigh. i warmly recommend this. 10.23.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lubella Love this one of a kind piece! I have been eyeing this sweater online for awhile, and unfortunately my free people didn't carry it. Finally I caved in and bought it...SO GLAD I DID! The sweater colors are so beautiful. Its wildly unique and super soft. The tiger on the back is so edgy and cool. I'm a huge fan! I am a full figured girl, and I will admit the large was a bit tight on the arms. It fits around my body well (though I can't button it)...but the arms are a little tight. I'm keeping it because I love how its more of a fitted sweater compared to so many oversized ones I have in my closet! Its a winner :) 10.17.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by reichercv73 ONE OF A KIND! THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST LOOKING FP CARDIGAN THIS YR.! THE QUALITY IS ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE PRICE. IT'S A HEAVY AND DURABLE SWEATER. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS ONE! IT'S A KEEPER! 9.27.2012

Wednesday, May 21, 2014
A Knightsville Elementary educator has received a $1 million verdict after bringing a civil suit against Dorchester County School District Two.
Former teacher and assistant principal Mary Rita Watson alleged the district did irreparable damage to her reputation by demoting her in the wake of a child abuse case. Watson was charged with failure to report in 2009, but was later cleared of the charge.
In 2012, she filed suit against the district.
She alleged the school district and the sheriffs office knew there was no basis for a criminal prosecution but forged ahead to mollify two parents in powerful positions.
I am relieved and appreciate that someone finally listened to my story, Mary Rita Watson said in a prepared statement.
Attorney Gregg Meyers of Jeff Anderson and Associates represented Watson in a civil lawsuit against the school district alleging abuse of process, and released a statement about the verdict Wednesday.
Meyers argued that Watson is the primary provider for her family of five children and after being charged with the crime of failing to report child abuse, she was unable to find a job and was 10 years from retirement.
District officials have not yet commented on the decision.
Meyers said Watson has applied for numerous administrative positions both within and outside the district. They just choose not to hire her because of (the charge), he said. Its really hampered her ability even to find another job, he said.
The civil suit sought back pay, reinstatement to a comparable position and special damages to compensate for the humiliation of being paraded before the news cameras.
In South Carolina, state law caps damages at $300,000 but Meyers asked the jury for $1 million to make it clear to the school district that their actions were unacceptable. The jury agreed and after an hour-long deliberation returned a $1-million verdict in Watsons favor.
We appreciate the jury was very clear on telling the district they cannot treat their employees that way, Meyers said in the statement.

Bobby Antonio Williams, 27, was arrested Sept. 17 and charged with cruelty to animals, obstruction or hindering law enforcement officers, dogfighting and a probation violation.
Lewis Pitts, 19, was arrested Sept. 19 and charged with cruelty to animals, dogfighting, theft by receiving stolen property, and obstruction or hindering law enforcement officers.
A report of the arrests by Gray Police Officer Jason Douglas states he received a tip Sept. 16 about a dogfight taking place in a wooded area between Wayne and North streets. He said Sgt. Mitch Lovick joined him in searching for the illegal activity. While the officers were walking in the woods, they saw four males, and one of them was walking a brown dog on a chain.
The four men ran when they saw the officers. Douglas was able to catch one of the men and placed him under arrest. The dog was recovered and had substantial wounds to his face and neck.
The officers continued their search and found another dog chained to a tree. The dog was a pit bull and also had heavy wounds to its face and neck. Photos were taken of the dogs, and they were turned over to animal control.

"I love void and light, but also: a pot on the stove, the wine Bourgogne, kids, women, I'm in love with Taben".—Jean-François Crochet
Born in 1949, he attended some of the finest decorative art schools in Paris. He recalls that "I came across people who put me to work. I designed several fashion boutiques in the 60's "la Gaminerie-Paris", it was still day time. At night I also designed several night clubs: "Le Tiffany", "La nuit des Rois", "Le club Alexandre" in Montreal. I needed to eat well after all....and so I also designed several restaurants and bars in Paris Bastille. Then in 1985 I laid on the beach right next to Sergio Terzani, three tumbles later I was working in his workshop. I believed I designed lamps, I believed I had memory, I got lost in the past to come back to the light with...
Terzani began as a creative design and production laboratory for lighting objects, with roots in the noble craft traditions of wrought iron, carved wood, and Murano glass.
In 1985, Sergio Terzani met Jean-Francois Crochet, an experienced Parisian designer. Together, they updated the craft culture, presenting it from a contemporary design angle.
The end result has been "Luce Pensata": lamps and objects as lighting sculptures, no longer accessories or cold technical supports, but the animated, vital protagonists of living areas, with a completely original and identifiable character.

Meat inspection furloughs could come as surprise for some locals
If the USDA stops its meat and poultry inspections for two weeks, as the agency's director has said could happen, the move will come as a surprise to many local farmers, processors and retailers whose livelihoods depend on consumers' love of burgers, hot dogs, chicken nuggets and much more.
Despite several statements from U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack that federal sequestration measures — the official term for $85 billion in budget cuts that will go into effect March 1 unless Congress acts — would force him to furlough the country's meat inspectors for two weeks, almost everyone contacted locally had not heard of the potential cuts and, when told about them, expressed doubt as to Vilsack's sincerity.
"No," said Tim Thomas, whose family owns and operates Thomas and Sons Butcher Shop in Sanford. "That won't happen."
Dan Campeau, the N.C Cooperative Extension specialized poultry agent for Chatham, Lee, Harnett, Moore and Randolph counties, also said the move seems unlikely.
"The government can do it, and they have done some crazy things in the past," he said. "But it would be such a bad thing to happen, not just to the people who raise the birds and process the birds, but to the people who buy them, that I just don't think it would happen."
Sam Groce, director of the Chatham County Cooperative Extension branch and the county's head livestock agent, said prices would jump drastically in such a scenario. He said there would likely be little to no red meat in large grocery stores and prices for meat at farmers' markets — which doesn't have to be inspected by the USDA because it doesn't cross state lines — would become sky high.
"There's a whole lot of people who don't buy straight from the local markets, and there's not enough local supply to handle a rush," he said, noting that about 90 percent of the beef market is controlled by three large corporations.
Donald Delozier, director of the N.C. Department of Agriculture's Meat and Poultry Inspection Division, was out of the office Thursday, but said in an email that he doesn't think the federal inspectors themselves would end up being furloughed.
"Based on my past experience with this issue, I would say if there are furloughs, it most likely be for non-essential personnel such as inspectors that are not assigned to plants such as supervisors and office personnel," he wrote.
But if Delozier's wrong and the furloughs are applied to inspectors, Groce and Campaeu said, there will be issues because most animal farms in the area contract with large corporations. Those farmers wouldn't be secure because they're only paid on how many pounds they ultimately process, not how many animals they raise. And the timeline for both poultry and beef, they said, is very specific.
Groce said especially with cows sold for ground beef or dog food, bad timing on the furloughs could lead to total loss for the farmers. Those cows, he said, are usually old ones that are sold once it becomes clear they will die soon anyway. But if they die on the farm instead of being killed in a packing plant, the meat can't be used for anything — not even dog food. The bodies, he said, simply have to be disposed of.
Chickens, Campeau said, are generally processed when they're between seven and 10 weeks old. As they get older, they become too heavy and their health starts breaking down. He said that three-week window could spell disaster if it lined up with the two-week furlough: If the farmers go early to avoid it, they would have to send in underweight birds. If they wait, they could end up losing the whole flock. And to top it all off, there's no telling when the furloughs might come, with Vilsack saying Thursday he would give between 30 and 120 days notice.
"It would be the farmers that suffer in the end," Campeau said. "Think about it. This whole thing is set up to get five flocks through in a season, and if this happened, they might only be able to get four out. And their bills often depend on them assuming they'll get five flocks."
Thomas's shop gets all of its meat from out of state, he said, but he wasn't worried about the furloughs, which would affect all meat that crosses state lines. Two local chicken farmers, who contract and didn't want to be identified, had never heard of the furloughs but said they weren't worried. And Abdul Chaudhry, who owns a plant in Siler City that processes halal meat — the Muslim equivalent to kosher, which requires even stricter inspections — also said he wasn't concerned.
"We have inspectors here every day, and I haven't heard anything like that," he said. "As far ask I know, we'll just keep on trucking."

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 3 mph
Green Mountain Valley School (GMVS) cross-country skiers have been traveling a lot this winter to compete against the best skiers in the nation. Current students and recent alumni have had fantastic results already and are looking to continue to impress in the new year, according to their coach Justin Beckwith.
"All of the training that many of you get to witness on the local roads throughout the summer and fall is paying off," he said.
U.S. Nationals
Three GMVS athletes traveled to Soldier Hollow, Utah (site of the 2002 Olympic Games) just after Christmas to participate in Senior Nationals. These open national championship races also serve as trials for placement on several U.S. Ski Team sponsored trips.
Senior Heidi Halvorsen led the quad with a 15th-place finish in the first event of the series, the classic sprint. This event features a prologue and then several rounds of head-to-head skiing over a 1.4-kilometer loop. Halvorsen qualified to race with the open women and ended the day as the fifth fastest junior skier.
"This result qualified Halvorsen for her second USST U-18 Championship trip where she will join six of our best under-18 athletes to compete in Trondheim, Norway, next week," Beckwith said.
Several recent alums also had outstanding races including Waitsfield's David Sinclair (now Dartmouth College), placing 15th in the 15-kilometer skate and an inspired sixth-place finish in the 30-kilometer classic. In this mass start style race, Sinclair outpaced two current U.S. Ski Team members. Mary Kate Cirelli, originally from Rutland (now Northern Michigan University), placed 18th in the 20-kilometer classic race and proved she is a contender on the national stage. Tim Reynolds of Bristol (now racing for the Craftsbury Green Team) qualified for both of the classic and skate sprint races and went on to place ninth in the skate event. Peter Kling, from Starksboro (now Alaska Pacific University), took 12th place in the classic sprint.
Local racing
Closer to home the team has had strong results also and after two weekends of Eastern Cup competition, GMVS has claimed as many victories. Heidi Halvorsen and Maddy Pfeifer have both stood on top of the podium, besting fields consisting of New England's top high school and collegiate skiers at events held at Craftsbury and Mt. Top, respectively. Devlin Shea had a breakthrough result this past weekend at Mt. Top where he posted the fastest time in the sprint qualifier and went on to place sixth on the day.
The Eastern Cup race series provides the highest level of racing in the East and the races serve as qualification for Junior Nationals held this spring in Fairbanks, Alaska. Last season the entire GMVS squad qualified for this event. Pfeifer and Halvorsen are currently among the top ranked women in New England and they hope to be joined by Shea (recently accepted to Harvard University) and junior Ian Moore who have both had outstanding local results.

Francis Crick, one of the most famous scientists of our generation, described a double helix structure that is now known to characterize human DNA (this discovery was published in 1953 along with his colleague James Watson). Later, in the 1970s, Crick discussed a wish-list for future discoveries, including the use of light to control human cells. Light science and light therapy have since been considered both "crazy and far-fetched"; however, recent discoveries in the early 21st century have dramatically changed this point of view. Thanks to some very clever scientists, a new field called optogenetics was born.
What is optogenetics? The "opto-" refers to placing light onto the brain to activate channels and/or enzymes that will ultimately change brain cell firing. The technique is specific, and has the potential to add or delete firing patterns from the brain's native cells. Additionally, brain cell firing can be manipulated at precise millisecond intervals. The fiber-optic light source can be mounted on the skull, or placed deep within the brain. The genetics part of optogenetics utilizes simple virus carrier systems to deliver genes to the brain. The most important of these genetic deliveries has been opsin. Opsin is one of the structures potentially turned on by the light. The most important known opsin used for this technology is Channelrhodopsin-2, and it was derived by scientists from algae-based systems. By shining light onto the inserted genetic alteration (opsin), scientists can probe the brain's inner conversations (firing of cells). The technique has allowed investigators to move past the classical genetic manipulation, which has much less specificity.
Last week Kravitz and colleagues (from the pioneering optogenetics group at Stanford) published an important paper in Nature. They were able to demonstrate that optogenetics could either worsen or alternatively improve an animal model of Parkinsonism. The investigators performed a simple experiment where they manipulated the well-established basal ganglia direct and indirect pathways, which are the best known suspects implicated in the genesis of Parkinson's disease. The authors reported "optogenetic control of direct- and indirect-pathway medium spiny projection neurons (MSNs), achieved through a viral expression of channelrhodopsin-2 in mice with regulatory elements for the dopamine D1 or D2 receptor. Excitation of the indirect-pathway MSNs elicited a parkinsonian state, distinguished by increased freezing, bradykinesia and decreased locomotor initiations. Activation of direct-pathway MSNs reduced freezing and increased locomotion (Kravitz, 2010)." A month prior to this Nature paper, Bass and colleagues from Wake Forest, described an optogenetic approach to controlling dopamine release (Bass, 2010).
Activating brain circuits by using both light and genetics has thus evolved from a science fiction dream into a true reality. The technique will likely be refined over the next decade and it will have tremendous potential to unlock important clues underlying the disease processes ultimately responsible for Parkinson's disease. Optogenetics may also open up novel therapeutic possibilities. We can thus conclude there is a bright future ahead for optogenetics, and there is much hope that this technology will help us shine a light on this common, and often disabling human neurodegenerative condition.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.-The New Mexico State University track and field team completed its first in-state meet of the indoor season on Saturday with the Cherry and Silver Invitational.
Seven different records were set or improved upon after the meet. Overall, 16 records have been set over the past two meets to open up the 2013 indoor track and field season.
Junior Alishia Perkins and sophomore Jenna Banegas both competed in the 60m. Perkins placed seventh overall with a time of 7.66, moving her up to fourth place all-time for NM State, and Banegas placed 13th overall with a time of 7.75. Last week, Perkins was named Western Athletic Conference Athlete of the Week.
Perkins also competed in the 200m, placing eighth overall with a time of 24.79. Freshman Brianna Cromartie also competed in the 200m and made another impressive showing early in her Aggie career, placing 10th with a time of 24.96 to place her seventh all-time in the NM State record books. Banegas, sophomore Kendra Walker, junior Zoe Meade, senior Deserae Cota and freshman Kelsi Gonzales also competed in the event.

*I thought this was an article quoted from Dana himself, but this is an opinion piece so either may be cut.Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) sets the bar pretty high when it comes to mixed martial arts (MMA).
The ZUFFA-owned promotion has the strongest talent pool, stages the best cards, and pumps out the highest quality match-ups the sport has to offer.
UFC President Dana White; however, made it clear that his roster is "too full" while regularly trimming the fat in the wake of major events. At one point, UFC released former welterweight number one contender Jon Fitch -- along with 15 other fighters -- following UFC 156. It also dropped former middleweight "gatekeeper," Yushin Okami, who was put out to pasture after getting smoked by Ronaldo Souza.
Both ended up in World Series of Fighting (WSOF).
Which begs the question of how the company decides who gets released, and how fighters with records the likes of 8-8 and 18-13 stay afloat in the competitive waters of UFC?
Nam Phan lost at UFC Fight Night 33 on Friday (Dec. 6, 2013) via decision following a "Fight of the Night" caliber war against Takeya Mizugaki, continuing his trend of going the distance.
Every one of the World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) and Strikeforce veteran's fights under the UFC banner has gone the full 15 minutes. The key to this, is they have usually been worth watching, namely his two wars against Leonard Garcia. Phan has an uncanny ability for absorbing punishment. While this may not be good for him long term, the style has prolonged his tenure in a company that is quick to move on with new top prospects.
Barry is famous for another reason -- brevity.
When the Louisiana native is in action, don't blink. "HD" has knocked out his opponent in seven of his eight victories and if he wasn't out there taking peoples' heads off, chances are he was being finished himself. With the loss to Soa Palelei in the first round on FOX Sports 1, five of his eight losses have now come in the opening frame.
This encourages a gutsy and sometimes cringe-worthy style of fighting that any fight promoter loves (it worked for Dan Hardy). Thus, explaining why fighters similar to Fitch, Ryan Couture and the still unsigned Ben Askren remain outside of UFC's broad range.
While it's unlikely Phan or Barry will receive their pink slip anytime before the holidays, one can only wonder if the end of the road for each comes soon. Regardless of entertainment value, you have to win at some point, and lately for both, the victories haven't been coming so often.
Just like Phan's cornerman told him prior to coming out for the third and final round, "this is your freakin' career."

The topic of soccer goal safety is abuzz in the news today as CBS aired a report in regards to how you can make portable soccer goals safer. With that report in mind, there are a few important safety points that need to be considered when shopping for a soccer goal whether it be portable or permanent. Of course, as this is the Duralite Soccer Goal Blog, you will have to forgive us for highlighting how the Duralite Soccer Goal meets these requirements.
Steel is a very sturdy and strong material that is exceedingly cheap. Unfortunately it is also dangerously heavy. Whether a soccer goal is permanent or portable, a reasonably thick and durable length of aluminum is a much safer option. Aluminum weighs nearly one-third as much as steel, meaning that in the unlikely event that a goal should tip over, the result would be 80 pounds collapsing as opposed to about 230. This is the difference between a broken bone or death (steel) and a bruise or possible concussion (aluminum). Neither is ideal but the latter is certainly the more preferable option. Duralite's 8′ x 24′ portable soccer goal weighs only 60lbs.
Any soccer goal that is made by an accepted manufacturer such as Kwik Goal, Duralite, Fold-a-Goal or Goal Oriented, to name a few has a solid anchoring system in place as part of the soccer goal's design. There are several ways to anchor a soccer goal, some are more costly than others, but at the very least outdoor goals should include locking stakes that drive into the ground or a sand bag kit. Indoor goals should have a weighted back bottom bar and anchor bags. The Duralite portable soccer goal includes an "X-Cross" stake anchoring system that, while simple, is incredibly effective. Two 10″ stakes go through the rear of the ground posts at a 45 degree angle. They then cross underground and create an "X" that locks the goals into place.
A good soccer goal is designed with a plan to mitigate the possibility of the goal causing damage. For every type of soccer goal whether permanent, semi-permanent or portable, there are ways to make the goal safer. A permanent soccer goal on a turf field can have an underground locking system with chains and cement. An indoor soccer goal can be built into the framework of the indoor field itself and a semi-permanent goal that is moved around the field can have a weighted back-bottom bar with increased length on its ground supports to keep the goal from tipping. When shopping for a soccer goal, study the literature on the manufacturers brochure or website and find out what design plan was used to ensure that the goal does not fall over. If you cannot find one, call the company and ask. Duralite's portable goals are actually designed so that they will not stand into position unless they have been properly anchored. Once anchored they will not move out of position until the anchors have been removed. This removes the possibility of distracted or lazy set up.
Some great sources of information on the topic include Anchored for Safety, USCPSC Guidelines for Movable Soccer Goal Safety, USCPSC Safety Alert.

Hello everyone,
Megan was born on Valentine's Day! She weighed 7 lbs 5 oz. She is twice the size Maya was and is perfectly healthy. First of all, I have to apologize for not letting everyone know sooner, but everything happened so fast and I have been a little out of it. Leslie, I'm sorry I did not call you, things have been a little upside down.
We ALL came home together last night and this is the first chance I have had to sit down. Unfortunately this pregnancy was not pre-e free like I had hoped. On Sunday night I realized that after 6 Tylenol my headache was not going away so I checked my bp and there it was 143/90. So I called the dr. and he told me to go to the hospital. Dummy me, I thought they would put me in the observation unit for a little while and send me home. You would think I would know better than to think this. My bp continued to go up and I could not get rid of the headache. They said I was negative for protein which was very strange since I have had at least a trace at every dr. visit since the 32nd week. The dr. on call decided it was better to be safe than sorry so I was induced Monday morning and at 3:05 p.m. she was here. I was on mag for 24 hours and between that and the morphine and the nubain, my head did not clear up until sometime yesterday. Now I am home and dealing with an overexicited 5 year old and a newborn so if I sound a little crazy it is because right now I feel like I am. I am going to go now because I feel like I am rambling and need a nap. Take care, I will post more later.
Mom to Maya, 2/11/00, PE @ 32 1/2 weeks
Lil'Angel, 5/19/04, Miscarriage @ 9 1/2 weeks
Bun in the oven due 3/2/05

WILLIAMSON - The Mingo County Sheriff's Department, along with officers from the Williamson, Gilbert and Delbarton Police Departments, gathered together at the Mingo County Courthouse early Thursday morning for a strategic planning session that was held prior to arresting defendants throughout the county that had been indicted on drug related charges.
Forty-one true bills were returned by the Mingo County Grand Jury on Wednesday, with seventeen of those being sealed drug indictments. A total of 10 defendants from those 17 were taken into custody on Thursday and a search is underway for others who are evading capture.
The officers were divided up into four groups that then made arrests in the Williamson, Chattaroy, Delbarton and Gilbert communities. Two defendants were taken into custody in Williamson that were indicted, plus an individual who was wanted on a warrant for drug trafficking.
Donald West, 45, of Victoria Courts in the East End of Williamson, was indicted on one count each of delivery of a Schedule II controlled substance (Oxycodone) and conspiracy to deliver a Schedule II controlled substance (Oxycodone). He was taken into custody without incident at his apartment. Chad Nicholas Alley, 30, also of Victoria Courts, was not at home when officers arrived but was apprehended in a matter of minutes inside the Williamson Treatment Center. The defendant had been indicted on two counts of delivery of a Schedule II controlled substance (Oxycodone).
Lawrence E. Wilkerson, Sr., of Vinson Street, was arrested on a warrant issued on charges of delivery of a Schedule II controlled substance (Crack Cocaine) and possession with intent to deliver a Schedule II controlled substance (Crack Cocaine). The glass storm door on the residence had to broken by the arresting officers in order to gain access inside, since the defendant refused to open the door. While being questioned by police, Wilkerson allegedly admitted to being in possession of crack cocaine with an estimated street value of $300. The drugs were confiscated by officers with the Williamson Police Department (WPD) and the Mingo County Sheriff's Department (MCSD). One of the deputies suffered a minor laceration to his face during the arrest which resulted from the flying glass.
The group that conducted the above three arrests were WPD Lt. G.P. Dotson who served as team leader, Sgt. J. Spence, Patrolman J. Taylor and J. Marcum, Deputy B. Moore (K-9 Officer), Cpl. G. Messer and Deputy M. Miller.
Wilson Bruce Bevins, 56, of Litton Hollow in Chattaroy, was indicted and arrested on two counts of delivery of a Schedule I Controlled Substance (Marijuana). Jimmy Diamond, 60, also of Litton Hollow, had been indicted and was taken into custody one count of delivery of a Schedule III controlled substance (Hydrocodone).
The two Chattaroy arrests were conducted by a team of officers headed up by MCSD Drug Task Force Commander C.D. Rockel, along with WPD Sgt. John Hall, MCSD Sgt. J. Muncy, Deputy E. Williams and Cpl. C. Endicott.
In Delbarton, James Crabtree, 45, was indicted on two counts of delivery of a Schedule II controlled substance (Hydrocodone); Daniel Martin, 33, was indicted and arrested on two counts of delivery of a Schedule I controlled substance (Marijuana); Amanda Dempsey, 21, was taken into custody after being indicted on a single count of delivery of a Schedule II controlled substance (Oxycodone); and Bradley Lawson, 19, was indicted and arrested on delivery of a Schedule II controlled substance (Hydrocodone).
The team of arresting officers included Delbarton Police Chief D. Nunley (Team Leader, Patrolman G. Ford, MCSD Lt. J. Ferris and Deputy S. Smith.
In the Gilbert area, three defendants who had been indicted were also taken into custody by MCSD Cpl. N. Mines (Team Leader), Sgt. James Smith, Sgt. Joe Smith, Deputies R. Fitch and N. Glanden, Home Confinement Officer A. Mines and Gilbert Asst. Police Chief M. Rasmussen. Assistance was also provided by U.S. Marshals.
Janet Berry, 37, was indicted on two counts of delivery of a Schedule II controlled substance (Oxycodone); Lawrence Ellis, 64, was indicted and arrested on three counts of delivery of a Schedule III controlled substance (Hydrocodone); and Farron Cline, 41, was indicted by the grand jury on two counts of delivery of a Schedule II controlled substance (Oxycodone).
The defendants were transported to the Southwestern Regional Jail at Holden.
"These indictments are a continuation of Operation Zero Tolerance, which was started after our late sheriff, Eugene Crum, took office," stated Rockel. "I want the arrests we have made today to send a loud message to the residents of Mingo County who were concerned that the drug arrests would stop after Sheriff Crum's death that we are moving forward and we are not stopping."
"We will fight the fight."
"We are determined to continue on the path of ridding our county of the drugs that were allowed to take a strong hold in our neighborhoods and communities for far too long. And in the words of our former sheriff and friend, if you sell drugs in Mingo County - we will be knocking on your door."
The defendants are scheduled to appear in Mingo County Circuit Court this afternoon at 1 p.m. for their arraignments before the Honorable Judge Michael Thornsbury, along with others who were indicted on a variety of charges that include child neglect, child abuse, cyber-sex crimes, grand larceny, burglary and sexual assault, among others. A complete list of indictments will appear in Sunday's edition of the Williamson Daily News and on our website, williamsondailynews.com.

Pounds: Court sidesWritten by Tom Pounds/ Michael S. Miller | | firstname.lastname@example.com
After consulting with a number of local attorneys and people familiar with our courts, we have found some consistent and interesting arguments for candidates in the upcoming Nov. 6 elections.
Justice of the Supreme Court: Consensus is that Terrence O'Donnell is a good justice and should prevail over Mike Skindell, who is well thought of, but we are told he has no judicial experience.
Justice of the Supreme Court: We back William O'Neil and his perspective on not taking money from those litigants who might appear in front of him, and he has the necessary experience. However, we have been urged by some attorney acquaintances that "Justice Robert R. Cupp has done a good job and you don't change horses without a reason."
Justice of the Supreme Court: Yvette McGee Brown, a political appointment of former Gov. Ted Strickland (she was his 2010 running mate), has not served on the bench for roughly 10 years. We are told she never practiced law other than for the government, which some may consider a negative. Brown was the first African-American to become a Supreme Court Justice in Ohio, and many believe her life experience brings a needed perspective to Ohio's highest court. She is running against Sharon Kennedy, who was endorsed by the Toledo Chamber of Commerce. Kennedy is a sitting judge who practiced privately, though it really is a shame that neither Brown nor Kennedy has court of appeals experience. Our sources urge a vote for Kennedy.
Lucas County Court of Common Pleas: Myron Duhart has performed well enough to retain his seat. We are told he appears to have the ability and personality to be a good judge. A number of our business community friends, especially Republicans, are supporting Ken Phillips. Phillips also came highly recommended by our source, but they maintain the "don't change horses without a reason" philosophy and recommend Duhart.
Running unopposed for Lucas County Court of Common Pleas are James D. Jensen (who was opposed in the primary), Stacy Cook, David Lewandowski, James D. Bates, Connie F. Zemmelman, Linda J. Jennings and Gary G. Cook.
As one of our sources said, "It is a sad day that none of the other common pleas court judges have any competition. Contested elections have a tendency to keep judges grounded in the real world (having to be nice to people). After running a couple of times unopposed, their robes tend to get so tight that it cuts off the circulation to their brain."
Clerk of Court of Common Pleas: Veteran Democrat J. Bernie Quilter is a clear, experienced, competent choice over Republican challenger Constantine Stamos. In other related races, prosecutor Julia Bates and sheriff candidate John Tharp are running unopposed.
