US 7717038 B2 Abstract This invention discloses a magnet for use as a printing plate or printing head that is used for aligning flakes or particles in a paint or ink. A composite sheet or block of magnetizable material is selectively magnetized so that a magnet is formed within the sheet or block that has a shape of a predetermined image, logo, or indica. Dies are used to magnetize the magnetizable material and preferably the does contact the material to be magnetized. A pre-magnetized sheet such as a refrigerator magnet may be re-magnetized differently so that a magnetic image is encoded therein for use as a printing plate. Preferably the printing plate is flexible so that it can be formed to a curved surface of a cylinder or drum for printing. Conveniently these flexible magnets can be changed for other designs and placed on the same drum for use in printing.

Description The present invention claims priority from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 60/737,926 filed Nov. 18, 2005, which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes. This invention relates generally to a magnet for use in printing inks and paints with magnetically alignable particles or flakes, and more particularly relates to forming magnets which have magnetic material aligned in a plurality of different directions in accordance with an applied field and to the use of these magnets as printing plates. The term �sheet� is used hereafter within this specification to mean a flat thin sheet, and in preferred embodiments as a flexible sheet; however the term sheet is not limited thereto. The term �plate� used throughout this specification is to mean a stiff or a flexible plate and is to include thin, flat flexible sheet, such as a composite magnetizable sheet or as a rubber magnetic sheet more commonly known when magnetized, as a �fridge� magnet. The term �printing plate� is used hereafter as a plate that will form an image, indicia or logo within an ink or paint of magnetically alignable flakes. The printing plate does not itself transfer ink or paint, but has the ability to move flakes or particles within a printing ink or paint so as to form a discernible print. All of the patents and applications mentioned hereafter are incorporated by reference for all purposes. Printing with ink or paint containing magnetic platelets dispersed in liquid ink or paint vehicle is known. In such applications the platelets are magnetically aligned by exposing the ink or paint upon a substrate to a magnetic field. Current examples of such prints are described by Raksha et al in U.S. patent applications 2006/0198998, 2006/0194040, 2006/0097515, 2005/0123755, and 2005/0106367. U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,808,806, 6,759,097, 6,818,299 and 6,838,166 disclose magnetically alignable flakes and utilizing magnets for aligning flakes in printed images. More particularly U.S. Pat. No. 6,808,806 discloses the use of a flexible magnet having a cut out in a shape of a letter �F� and used for printing. In this embodiment the field emanating from the region surrounding the cut-out �F� was uniform and in a direction normal to the surface of the �F�. Flakes that were over the cut-out portion having no field were substantially flat lying. Although this embodiment provides interesting images, this invention provides additional features, not achievable with a magnet having a uniform field. Painting with magnetic powders was employed in some industries for finishes and decorative coatings. A method for producing a magnetically formed pattern on a product is the subject-matter of U.S. Pat. No. 5,630,877. The product is produced by forming a paint layer from a paint medium mixed with magnetic non-spherical particles, and applying a magnetic field in a shape corresponding to the desired pattern to be formed. The field emanates from magnets mounted underneath the wet painted substrate. After the field aligns the particles, they are cured within the paint vehicle. U.S. Pat. No. 6,103,361 discloses patterned substrates useful in producing decorative cookware which are formed by coating of a substrate with a base consisting of a mixture of fluoropolymer and magnetic flakes and magnetically inducing an image in the polymer coating composition. The pattern is formed by applying magnetic force through the edges of a magnetizable die positioned under a coated base to induce an image effect. U.S. Pat. No. 6,759,097 discloses methods and devices for producing images on coated surfaces. The methods comprise applying a layer of magnetizable pigment coating in liquid form on a substrate, applying a magnetic field to selected regions of the pigment coating to alter the orientation of selected magnetic particles or flakes, and solidifying the reoriented particles or flakes in a non-parallel position to the surface of the pigment coating to produce an image such as a three dimensional-like image on the surface of the coating. The pigment coating can contain various interference or non-interference magnetic particles or flakes, such as magnetic color shifting pigments. U.S. Pat. No. 3,853,676 claims a pigmented film comprising a film-like material containing magnetic orientable pigment that is oriented in the field. EP 0 710 508 A1 discloses process for production of layer that exhibits three dimensional effects through alignment of magnetic platelets. EP 1 493 590 A1 describes a device and a method for transferring a predetermined magnetic design onto document printed with magnetic optically variable ink. The device comprises a body of a composite permanent magnet material, having a surface engraved with the pattern corresponding to the pattern of desirable indicia. The magnetic material is magnetized in the direction perpendicular to the surface. Irregularities in the surface, made with an engraving, produce changes in the direction and strength of the resulting magnetic field. These changes cause different alignment of magnetic particles in different parts of the wet ink that make possible a formation of an image with a shape corresponding to the shape of engraving. The inventors of this invention have found that printing in accordance with the teachings of EP 1 493 590 A1 has certain limitations. For example when using color-shifting inks, a very poor color-shifting effect resulted. A disappearance of the color-shifting properties of the printed layer occurs with the repositioning of magnetic pigment particles in the layer of a wet ink along lines of magnetic field in the direction substantially perpendicularly to the surface of the document. Notwithstanding, a color-shifting affect has the best appearance (large color travel and high chroma value) when the particles are parallel or almost parallel to the surface of the substrate. Color-shifting properties by the images printed with the device described in EP 1 493 590 makes utilization of magnetic color-shifting inks for the printing of secure documents essentially useless. It is an object of this invention to provide a magnet that is more simple to manufacture and offers a high degree in flexibility with regard to the field generated by the magnet. The magnet does not require costly and difficult carving or removal of material so as to vary the field. In image of object, logo or indicia is made within the magnetic material of a block or sheet so that the magnet will provide a field that corresponds the object, logo, or indicia when the field is used to align flakes in paint or ink. The image within the magnetic material is not visible to the eye, but is coded into the magnetic material so as to generate a field that corresponds to the object logo or indicia that is used to �code� the magnetic material. Advantageously, the object, logo or indicia encoded into the magnet cannot be seen, but is present and generates a magnetic field that aligns flakes placed on a substrate in the field to replicate the object, logo or indicia. Advantageously a common �fridge� magnet can be encoded with magnetic information so as to change its field direction to form an image. Advantageously this encoded magnet may be of flexible magnetic material and can be placed on a drum and used to �print� images within a wet inked or painted substrate by aligning particles in a manner that reflect the encoded magnetic information. As will be described hereafter, prior art methods of applying a magnetic field to inks and or paints that have alignable flakes therein, includes the use of recessed or embossed magnetic regions. In contrast this invention utilizes a magnet having a flat surface wherein magnetic and non-magnetic, or differently magnetized regions are provided within a single monolithic magnet that cause alignment of flakes forming images in a liquid in having field alignable flakes. Advantageously having a flat die or magnetic printing head or plate that is magnetized within eliminates problems associated with making and using 3-D magnetic forms. The flat die can be brought into intimate contact with the substrate and even if pressure is applied the result will be substantially the same. This is not the case with 3-D embossed or engraved magnetic printing plates. As well, boundaries within the printed image can be made sharper with more ease then with embossed or recessed magnetic printing plates. In accordance with the invention, there is provided a printing plate comprising: a magnetizable composite material having a plurality of regions along a surface thereof, wherein the magnetizable composite material in one or more first regions is magnetized in a selected manner so that the one or more first regions across a surface of the sheet provide a first magnetic field having a predetermined direction, and wherein magnetic material in one or more other second regions are either unmagnetized or magnetized differently from the one or more first regions so as to provide a contrast in magnetic field, therefrom. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, there is provided, a method of forming a magnet comprising the steps of: providing a body of material that is magnetizable; disposing an outwardly facing magnetically conducting surface of a magnetizing die adjacent to a face of the sheet or block of magnetizable material, and applying a magnetic charge through the magnetizing die to form a magnet within the magnetizable material that conforms to features of the outwardly facing metal surface of the magnetizing die. In additional embodiments, the invention provides a printing plate wherein: the composite material is a sheet or block of material. wherein the one or more first regions are magnetized in the form of a symbol, or discernable indicia; wherein the one or more second regions are magnetized in a substantially uniform manner so as to allow flakes in a printing ink or paint adjacent to the one or more second regions, lie flat or be upstanding upon a sheet they are coated on; wherein the sheet is a flexible sheet of composite material. wherein the composite material is isotropic or anisotropic flexible material including a magnetic powder of Re�Fe�B, within a cured resin binder wherein the sheet of composite material includes a magnetizable material uniformly distributed along and within a working portion of the sheet, wherein a first region of the one or more first regions of the sheet is magnetized in a predetermined manner by application of a magnetic field through the composite material within the first region while excluding applying the magnetic field through some other regions along the sheet such that the first region forms a first magnetic field emanating therefrom that is absent from other regions along the surface of the sheet, or different in intensity or direction from a magnetic field emanating from other regions along the surface of the sheet; wherein the one or more second regions have a second magnetic field, wherein field lines of the second magnetic field are oriented differently than field lines of the first magnetic field; wherein the printing plate is for use in aligning field alignable flakes within a liquid or viscous paint or ink and wherein the working portion of the printing plate is used so that the first field aligns flakes upon a substrate covering the first region in a manner such that the flakes align to form indicia in the form of a symbol or discernible graphic, that is seen in contrast to flakes upon the substrate covering the second region of the printing plate; wherein the first region is magnetized by contacting a surface of the sheet about the first region with a metal die having an outer surface having predetermined shape and having a magnetic charge; wherein the shape of the metal on the outer surface of the die is imaged within the magnetic material within the composite sheet material; wherein a magnetic field emanating from the die, is replicated within the first region of the magnetic material; wherein the outer face of the die has first metal regions that contact the surface of the sheet, and wherein other regions on the outer face of the die are spaced from the surface of the sheet while the first metal regions contact the sheet; and, A printing plate wherein the first metal regions form a symbol, logo, or discernible text or letters. Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described, in accordance with the drawings, in which: Referring now to prior art Physically engraving a magnet is a costly endeavour and as was mentioned heretofore, control over the magnetic field is limited. For example, in The printed images formed by using the sheet magnet 20 in prior art Embodiments of this invention are shown in In Turning now to Instead of the two-pole magnetizer shown in Turning to A one-pole magnet can also magnetize the plate. A layout of such system is shown in Referring once again to Referring now to The numeral 20 magnetized into the fridge magnet can be done with very strong permanent magnets or by inducing a magnetic charge through one or more dies. It should be noted that �fridge� magnets are generally magnetized having spaced rows of magnets are within the same monolithic magnetic block or sheet. As was shown these magnets can be re-magnetized such that they become encoded magnetically with indicia such as numerals or letters or logos, or images. In contrast, prior art In contrast the magnet formed within the flexible magnet is quite robust and easy to manufacture. The magnetic shape is created with a magnetic field, and the magnet is flexible. Of course numerous other embodiments can be envisaged without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. In embodiments described heretofore, printing has been described wherein a magnetic sheet or block is used for align magnetically alignable flakes. It should be understood that flakes of various kinds may be used; for example reflective flakes, multilayer flakes, color shifting flakes, diffractive flakes, flakes having covert features therein, highly absorbing flakes and any other form of flakes that can be aligned in a magnetic field.

VDOT wants to transform I-66 corridor, plans public meetings
Transportation officials in Virginia say they can improve Interstate 66.
The idea is to make a 25-mile stretch of the highway between Haymarket and the Capital Beltway a multi-modal corridor. This means adding express toll lanes like the I-95 E-ZPass Express Lanes that opened last month and new high-frequency bus service to the corridor.
Some key interchanges along the highway also need to be reevaluated to improve transportation along the corridor.
Now, officials plan a series of public meetings to solicit feedback on the roadway project. The meeting locations listed below:
Monday, Jan. 26, 2015
Oakton High School
2900 Sutton Road, Vienna, VA 22181
Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2015
Bull Run Elementary School
15301 Lee Highway, Centreville, VA 20121
Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2015
Battlefield High School
15000 Graduation Drive, Haymarket, VA 20169
Thursday, Jan. 29, 2015
VDOT Northern Virginia District, 1st Floor, Occoquan Room
4975 Alliance Drive, Fairfax, VA 22030
Each meeting will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. A brief presentation will be held at 7 p.m. during each meeting, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.

On January 18, 2015, Manassas City Police met with a citizen at Mexico Lindo Restaurant, located at 8630 Mathis Ave, for a report of a burglary that occurred in the past. The reporting party told officers that during the overnight hours of Saturday, January 7th, someone broke into the business, caused damage to the doors, and stole a safe and an undisclosed amount of cash and checks from the business.

A witness told officers that she saw a black male standing next to a 2007 or 2008 Grey or Silver Nissan Altima in the same parking lot.

Manassas students will head back to class before Labor Day
Now that Prince William schools will start classes prior to Labor Day, Manassas schools will do the same.
Here's the latest in a press release from the city's schools office:
On Tuesday, January 13, 2015, the School Board approved a revised 2015-16 calendar that now includes an August 31, 2015 start date for students.
Virginia law typically prohibits school divisions from starting prior to Labor Day. However, the Virginia Board of Education waives the requirement if a school board certifies that it meets one of the good cause requirements set forth in the code. Recently Prince William County Schools (PWCS), adopted a start date prior to Labor Day for 2015-2016 by meeting exemptions as indicated in the Code of Virginia.The decision by PWCS now enables Manassas City Public Schools (MCPS) to meet one of the "good cause" options of Section 22.1-79.1 of the Code of Virginia, which states "if a school division is entirely surrounded by a school division that has an opening date prior to Labor Day in the school year for which the waiver is sought, such school division may open schools on the same opening date as the surrounding school division". Therefore, the previously approved MCPS school year calendar for 2015-2016 has been amended to include a pre-Labor Day start (August 31, 2015) for students.
Please note that this change still fulfills the 180-day requirement for students with the last day of school now listed as June 16, 2016.

ANU provides young mother flexibility, path to medical assisting degree
Jazmin Lopez, 20, of Manassas, knew that she needed to make a change in her life, and ANU offered her an opportunity to work toward her degree in a growing field.
Her neighbor was the first to recommend American National University, which has a campus in Manassas located on Liberia Avenue.
"They were promoting the school [at Gold's Gym], when [my neighbor] met a recruiter from ANU," Lopez said, continuing, "She was giving me information, but I wasn't so sure about going to school."
Lopez had made an appointment to meet with the recruiters on the campus, but still wasn't sold about pursuing her degree.
Then, one night while working at a McDonalds, she was robbed.
"I wasn't speaking at the moment," Lopez said of the experience, which traumatized her. "I thought it was time to change, and turn my life around," Lopez said, prompting her motivation to get out of the fast food industry and earn her degree.
A few days after the incident, Lopez did meet with an ANU ad visor about the school's opportunities for her. The robbery proved to be a turning point in her life that made her want to seek new opportunity and a higher education.
"The recruiter asked me why it took me so long to finally decide to go back to school. And I enrolled that same day…I thought it was really a great idea, because it's only five minutes away from my house. And it caught my eye because they have really small classes, which means more attention for us as students," said Lopez.
For her, the flexibility of the classes and assistance that the school has provided her, have allowed her to continue her education as a working young mother.
While still working at McDonalds, Lopez is currently obtaining her Medical Assistant degree, as a member of the class of 2016.

Ilka Chavez resigned her seat on the Manassas City School Board last night.
The school board member was first elected to the position in 2012 and was to complete her term in 2016. Chavez said her decision to step down was a personal one that "is in the best interest of her family."
Her resignation leaves an open seat on the Manassas City School Board. The school division office posted a press release with more details:
Chavez has been a member of the School Board since July 2012. During her tenure, she has served on the Academic Committee, Educational Support Committee, Personnel Committee, and the ESOL Advisory Committee. Chavez has also been deeply involved in the Virginia School Boards Association.
"Mrs. Chavez has served the citizens of the City of Manassas and the children of Manassas City Public Schools well for the last two and a half years," said Tim Demeria, Board Chairman. "She is a true public servant and an advocate for children, so I know she will remain involved in our City. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank her for her contributions and we wish her well."

Used tires are mysterious. New Cooper Starfire Tires cost about the same
Cooper Starfire Tires offer superior life and performance for just a few dollars more than the cost of a used tire
Instead of buying a used tire that you might have to replace sooner than later, consider a new Cooper Starfire Tire.
It's a great option for someone looking for an inexpensive tire that will help keep their vehicle on the road longer and their occupants of the car safe.
Cooper Starfire Tires are available for multiple makes and models of vehicles. They're manufactured in Asia and designed in the U.S. to compete with premium brands without the higher price tag of comparable tires.
The tire offers high-performance ability, improved grip and road handling, with an improved overall tire life.
Cooper Starfire Tires are great for drivers who may have purchased a vehicle that is more costly to maintain than first thought, but are still looking for a quality tire that delivers great handling and a quiet performance on the road. With the Starfire option available, drivers should think before purchasing a used tire.
Typically, drivers have no idea what type of life the used tire had before they obtain it. Used tires could be six to eight years old, perhaps older, and have spent the majority of their life as a used tire strapped to a vehicle. While used tires may look good, the rubber can be worn down or degraded after years of sitting idle. Some used tires may also be missing tread and show signs of wear.
Purchasing a Starfire Tire costs about $30 more than what a used tire might cost, but a new tire, on average, will provide three times the life of a single used tire. The price of a Starfire Tire is up to 30% less than other newer tires. There are many Starfire Tires produced for SUVs, trucks, and the popular Honda Civic and Toyota Camry models.
Hometowne Auto Repair and Tire in Woodbridge, Virginia is now an authorized Cooper Tire dealer and offers a full line of Starfire Tires.
Teen wins NYC trip with "Say I Won't" video with Manassas City Police Department
In December, City of Manassas resident Mark Johnson had an idea for the #SayIWont video contest put on by Grammy Award winner Lecrae Moore and Reach Records. The video contest asked participants to make a 15 second video showing how "you're not scared to be different." Mark's video featured members of the Manassas City Police Department.
Mark Johnson had the idea, in light of current happenings in other areas of the country, to show a positive relationship between the Manassas City Police Department and a City resident. His video shows him coming into MCPD Roll Call and encouraging the officers about to go out in the field.
Mark went to Osbourn High School in the City of Manassas. After a rocky start, including being expelled from school, Mark went back to Osbourn to finish high school with an advanced diploma. When asked why he chose the Manassas City Police Department to feature in his video, Mark said he remembered the great conversations he had in high school with Officer Cahill and he used that contact to make the video happen.
On Dec. 12, while attending the Manassas City Police Department holiday luncheon, Mark received a phone call from Reach Records saying he had won the national video contest and had won a trip to New York City to accompany Lecrae Moore to a Brooklyn Nets game.
"We are honored that Mark chose the MCPD to feature in his video," said Chief Doug Keen from the Manassas City Police Department. "Mark Johnson's video sheds a positive light on relationships with police officers and those relationships are something we want to promote in the City of Manassas. We congratulate Mark on his award winning video."
Johnson traveled to New York City in December.

Resolutioners get off to a good start with 5K run at Freedom Center
Freedom Center awards resolution runners
Over 200 area residents came out to start their new year off right, running in The Resolution Run 5K at the Freedom Aquatic and Fitness Center in Manassas on New Year's Day. The race, which kicked off at 11a.m. was hosted by Fun Run Racing and was their third running event thus far.
"It's the first of the year. Most people's resolution is 'In 2015, I'm going to exercise more,' so it's a good way to start," said Ian Connor, a race organizer.
"What's interesting that most our [runners] were not signing up, because they didn't know what their plans were going to be in the evening [before]. So it's been an interesting race to put on, in trying to plan," said Connor, of the planning process for the 5K.
Fun Run Racing has partnered with the Freedom Center for race events in the past, and has had a good experience with their facilities.
"[The Freedom Center] has been fantastic to work with. They promote health and wellness, so it's a good synergistic approach to that – and letting us have access to the Freedom Center has been great," said Connor.
The runners excelled on the flat course. For female overall, first place was Jean Kleitz with 19:46. For men's overall, first place was Ryan Laemel, coming in at 15:24.
Fun Run Racing has been able to raise $12,400 in their events for local charities and non profits, including their charity partner, the Manassas Bull Run Rotary Club, according to their website.
The company plans to host their next race this year on the 4th of July. So far they have held two other successful runs – the Freedom Firecracker 5K on the 4th of July in 2014 and the Prince William Turkey Trot in 2014 – all of which were hosted at the Freedom Center.

Are you ready to run off those extra holiday pounds?
Runners will their chance at Freedom Aquatic and Fitness Center's Resolution Run 5K on New Year's Day.
The inaugural 5K run will be held at the Prince William Campus of George Mason University. A 5K run will start at 10 a.m. and a 1-mile fun run and walk will begin at 11 a.m.
The course will take runners from the Freedom Aquatic and Fitness Center to the Hylton Performing Arts Center, and then to University Boulevard where they'll turn around and head back to the finish line at the fitness center.
Fitting with New Years tradition, all of the race bibs will come pre-printed with "I resolve to" on them. Runners will then write in their resolution, and prizes will be given out for the most creative resolutions.
"It's time to break old habits and start new ones," said Freedom Aquatic and Fitness Center General Manager Don Jones.
The Resolution Run is the latest in a series of competition races held at the fitness center on the George Mason campus. A "turkey trot" run held at Freedom on Thanksgiving Day attracted 1,200 runners and raised $15,000 for the Bull Run Rotary charities.
In July, Freedom held its annual Freedom Firecracker Run 5K run and also raised money for local charities.
The Resolution Run 5K is expected to attract 300 runners to the course. A weather forecast that includes partly sunny skies and a very slight chance of rain will, hopefully, attract even more runners, said Jones.
The run is being orchestrated by Fun Run Racing, a company that facilitates various runs around the area. The cost to participate in the Resolution Run is $40 per runner for the 5K and $12.50 for the 1 mile run and walk. The top men and women in the run will win Running Store gift cards between $25 and $100. Random runners will receive "golden ticket" awards to encourage continued to participation in the event.
All 5K runners will get a long-sleeve race t-shirt and commemorative race bib. Those who do the 1-mile course will also receive a race t-shirt and will be able to keep their race bib.
