MOUNT VERNON For most people, 25 or 30 years at the same job represents a major career. But as Mount Vernon News photographer, Virgil Shipley, completes his 57th year with the newspaper, his work just keeps getting better. Virgils stories and many of his favorite photographs will be the featured program on Wednesday evening, March 6, at 7:30 p.m. at the Knox County Historical Society Museum, 875 Harcourt Road.
After graduating from Fredericktown High School, Virgil did a short hitch in the army before studying photography at Ohio University. From 1952-54 he served as a photographer in the Army Military Police Criminal Investigative Division (CID.)
In April, 1955, after a brief interview with Mount Vernon News Publisher, George Culbertson, and Editor, Fred Lorey, Virgil was hired and began his long career as the News staff photographer. Throughout the years, Virgil has become known for his outstanding photographs of current news stories in Knox County. He has ridden with pilots to take aerial photographs of the area, and with State and local police to cover highway safety stories, and his past columns on automotive topics were popular with car buffs.
His Wednesday evening presentation will feature photos of major weather events, aircraft, musicians, sports, and agricultural scenes in Knox County. The meeting is free and open to the public, and all persons interested in area history are invited to attend.
The March meeting marks the reopening of the Historical Society Museum after the winter break. Regular Museum hours are Thursday through Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m., and Wednesday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. Upcoming monthly meetings will feature the 1913 Flood (April 3), Clement Vallandighams famous May 1,1863 speech on our Public Square (May 1), and Victorian childrens novels (June 5). For more information, call the Museum at 740-393-5247.

Nuclear power is neither safe nor clean. There is no such thing as a "safe" dose of radiation and just because nuclear pollution is invisible doesn't mean it's "clean."
Take action right now and tell the President that taxpayers should not take on the risk of building new nuclear plants.
If a meltdown were to occur, the accident could kill and injure tens of thousands of people, leaving large regions uninhabitable. And, more than 50 years after splitting the first atom, science has yet to devise a method for adequately handling long lived radioactive wastes. For years nuclear plants have been leaking radioactive waste from underground pipes and radioactive waste pools into the ground water at sites across the nation. In addition to being extremely dangerous, the continued greenwashing of nuclear power from industry-backed lobbyists diverts investments away from clean, renewable sources of energy. In contrast to nuclear power, renewable energy is both clean and safe. Technically accessible renewable energy sources are capable of producing six times more energy than current global demand.In order to save the future of our planet, we must continue to fight the expansion of nuclear power and instead push for clean, renewable sources of energy. Over the next three years Greenpeace will continue to:
1. Debunk the myth that nuclear provides a "green" source of electricity and detail the threats posed by nuclear reactors and the radioactive wastes they produce.2. Expose the abysmal economics of new nuclear power. 3. Advocate for the permanent closure of the old, leaky Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant in 2012.
By working together to spread the truth, we can have a brighter, safer future.
David Pomerantz (San Francisco)
No New NukesIf the nuclear industry and Wall Street financiers are unwilling to assume the economic risk of constructing new nuclear power plants, why should the American taxpayer?The Department of Energy compared nuclear construction cost estimates to the actual final costs for 75 reactors. The original cost estimate was $45 billion. The actual cost was $145 billion! Forbes magazine recognized that this "failure of the U.S. nuclear power program ranks as the largest managerial disaster in business history, a disaster of monumental scale." Read moreDisarmamentThe Cold War may be over, but this does not mean nuclear weapons have disappeared. Far from it: There are almost 36,000 nuclear weapons in the world, thousands on hair-trigger alert, with more than a third of them ready to launch at a moment's notice, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Over 400 reactors in warships and nuclear submarines are still circling the globe. Read moreSafety and SecurityFrom the dawn of the nuclear age, it has been recognized that nuclear power and nuclear weapons are inextricably linked. The spread of nuclear technology and ultimately nuclear weapons undermines our national security and the security of the planet. Add to that the very real risks of nuclear meltdown. If a meltdown were to occur, the accident could kill and injure tens of thousands of people, leaving large regions uninhabitable.

Read moreChernobyl AnniversaryThe Chernobyl catastrophe released 100 times more radiation than the atom bombs dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Yet many seem to just dismiss the accident as a part of history and forget what large doses of radiation actually do to human lives. The effects of Chernobyl touched millions of people and thousands still endure very visible and painful effects. Read more
Nuclear Victories
Greenpeace has been shouting about nuclear dangers for nearly forty years, beginning on September 15, 1971, when the Greenpeace founders protested U.S. nuclear testing. Since then we have campaigned against both nuclear weapons and nuclear power by bearing witness in test zones, supplying scientific research and by conducting direct non-violent actions to call attention to the problem.

The size and complexity of new nuclear power plant projects, the longterm nature of the construction phase and the uncertainty associated with costs create a high degree of credit stress on utilities. Plant cancellations are not entirely uncommon...
Over the five-decade-long history of building nuclear power plants, industry watchers assert that 'there has consistently been a wide gap between the performance of existing nuclear plants and the performance forecast for new nuclear plants.
Public safety concerns around nuclear power necessitate high levels of regulation. From a risk perspective, this means that projects may be subject to delays and cost overruns as safety regulations are subject to changing and more stringent...

Consisting of 8 three-hour evening lectures by local water experts and two Saturday tours of local state-of-the-art water facilities, the program culminates with a Practicum Research Project that allows students to work with a local water organization to address a current problem or issue.

"Given the current and historical water crises we have faced in California, and the paucity of relevant water management training programs, we believe this program will help fill a critical regional need," said Mike Schroder, Dean of Extended Learning at CSUSM. "We have intentionally developed the curriculum to incorporate theory history and applied learning so participants have the foundation needed to begin to effectively address some of the vexing water management issues we face."
The survey program is a precursor to a Water Resources Management Certificate that will be offered beginning fall semester. The initial survey course will be offered at the San Marcos campus on Tuesday evenings beginning March 18 from 6:30-9:30 pm. To register or to learn more about the Water Management Program or the Survey Course, please contact Alan Styles at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.csusm.edu/el/courses/waterprograms1.html.

Riccardo Tisci is known for a certain darkness in his collections, and for fall, he showed a haunting yet romantic offering. Built on a foundation of strong jackets and colorful sweatshirts paired with sheer skirts, the collection also featured enticing prints such as florals, paisley and plaid. The footwear was more Victorian in silhouette, including snakeskin mid-calf boots in fiery color combinations with a blunt rounded-off toe and curved heel.

Your journey begins with an interpretive one-mile hiking loop through Ball's Bluff Battlefield Regional Park, the site of the second largest battle fought in the county. The October 1861 clash on the bluffs of the Potomac River was a lopsided Confederate victory. Union soldiers pushed into the river floated downriver to Washington, DC, bringing the shocking reality of the war to the public's attention. The site includes one of the smallest national cemeteries.
Nearby is Historic Morven Park, a 1,000 acre property that was the home of Baltimore's former mayor, Thomas Swann, Jr. at the time of the Civil War. During the winter of 1861-62, following the Battle of Ball's Bluff, Confederate soldiers of the 17th Mississippi Infantry built a camp on the property. See the replica log huts that tell the story of the soldiers' daily lives during their stay on the property.
Stop in Deli South in Leesburg for one of their Civil War themed sandwiches, then head south to continue your tour.
The unassuming Mt. Zion Church served as a rendezvous site for Civil War Confederate Colonel John S. Mosby and his men, as well as a barracks, prison, hospital, and burial ground for Confederate and Union soldiers. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Tour the recently restored 1851 church and cemetery that is the final resting-place of the Federal cavalrymen killed there.
Aldie Mill is Virginia's only surviving grist mill powered by twin water wheels. The mill provided grain for soldiers and their horses during the Civil War, and Union Soldiers hid in the wheat bins trying to escape from Confederate partisan John Singleton Mosby.
End your day at the Red Fox Inn in Middleburg, the oldest continually operated inn in the United States. During the Civil War it served as both headquarters and hospital for the Confederates. The inn's service bar, still in use today, was made from an operating table used by an Army field surgeon.

Photo gallery: Citrus Belt League: Redlands East Valley vs. Cajon
REDLANDS - The wild, crazy, unpredictable Citrus Belt League boys basketball season was encapsulated in one final wild, crazy and unpredictable game.
Jarrett Ellis' 3-pointer with 12 seconds left in regulation sent the game to overtime, then Eli Chuha's basket with a minute left in overtime gave Redlands East Valley the lead for good, and REV captured a share of the CBL title with a 54-51 victory over Cajon on Thursday night at REV.
It is the first league title in seven years for REV (19-8 overall, 7-3 CBL), which tied Eisenhower for the crown.
Cajon (18-9, 6-4), in its first year in the CBL after dominating the San Andreas League, could've captured its own share of a league title but instead finished a game back.
"It would've been horrid to lose this, up a game with two to play," REV coach Bill Berich said. "I told (Cajon coach) Randy (Murray) it would've been selfish for them to win league. They win league all the time. We win once every seven years."
It was a wild game that saw Cajon blow a 12-point third-quarter lead, fall behind by four, then rally to take a five-point lead in the final minute of regulation.
It was Ellis, who finished with 21 points, who came to the Wildcats' rescue. First, his three-point play cut the deficit to 47-45 with 36.9 seconds to play.
Then, after the Cowboys' Mike Henley made one of two free throws with 28.1 seconds to play, REV had a final chance, and Ellis made the 3-pointer to tie the score.
"Obviously, we needed a 3," Berich said. "We wanted to set a back screen, but when they went into a zone, we were in trouble. It was a broken play and Jarrett made a great play. There were three guys, Jarrett, Terrence (Williams) and (Eric) Klopfer I would've been OK taking that shot."
"We had a hand in the guy's face and he made a tough shot," Murray said. "Then I wanted to see if we could score in transition."
Instead of calling a timeout, Murray let the Cowboys play, but a shot at the buzzer was off-line.
In the overtime, Darrien Manker's third 3-pointer gave Cajon a 51-50 lead. But Chuha, an impressive 6-foot-6 junior in his first year of organized basketball, made a basket with a minute left to give REV the lead for good.
Ellis made two free throws with 19.4 seconds to play and Manker missed a 3-pointer in the final seconds.
Chuha finished with 13 points and 16 rebounds.
It was a stirring finish for REV after Cajon looked like it had control of the game.
The Cowboys extended a 22-18 halftime lead to 30-18 as REV went scoreless for more than four minutes.
"We held them to 22 points in the first half, which is pretty good," Berich said. "But we managed only 18."
Suddenly, REV woke up, and a 14-0 run gave the Wildcats a two-point lead in the fourth period.
Henley led Cajon with 18 points, including eight of the Cowboys' 10 third-quarter points.
"I think we'll be OK (for the playoffs)," Murray said. "We just let this one get away."

Follow the latest from the written press with the best gossip and speculation from the papers.
Jose Mourinho got under Atletico Madrid's skin and now has Chelsea two wins from epic glory.
How bad a season has it been for Man Utd? The worst ever? We look at other poor campaigns.
Listen to Neil Reynolds and Jeff Reinebold's latest podcast as they discuss the state of the NFC West.
Speculation over which players might be on the move this month has been steadily building since the last window closed at the end of August, and a number of deals have already been finalised.
There are sure to be all manner of transfers before the deadline, whether they are high-profile switches that set new records for extravagant spending, money-saving loans or business that flies completely under the radar but turns out, in the course of time, to be remarkably astute.
It is therefore a good time for Sky Sports to pick out the top ten deals of years gone by, whether they are memorable for the right reasons or the wrong ones.
It is unusual for mega-money to be spent in January, with clubs careful not to panic buy and players reluctant to think about their futures until the summer, while many are still involved in Europe. That all changed in 2011, though, with a number of jaw-dropping moves taking place in the Premier League. Deadline day was particularly frantic, as Chelsea broke the bank, as well as the British transfer record, with a £50million swoop for Liverpool's Torres that was supposed to revitalise their title challenge or at least stand them in good stead for campaigns to come. Unfortunately, while it may have become the biggest ever winter deal, it has not turned out to be the best signing in history, with Torres a shadow of his former self and slipping down the pecking order under Andre Villas-Boas.
One of the men signed to replace Torres, Suarez arrived at Anfield with a reputation as one of the most exciting young strikers on the circuit following his exploits at Ajax. He still had a lot to prove, though, with many previous examples of players failing to translate their success in Dutch football to the Premier League. Suarez has not joined that list, however, after taking the English game by storm in his first 12 months. He may not have been so prolific in front of goal but he has produced some dazzling displays and has made a far greater contribution than fellow forward Andy Carroll, who has struggled since joining from Newcastle for £35million.
A move that created bad blood between Premier League rivals, Bent shocked Sunderland by handing in a transfer request before finalising a switch to Aston Villa for a club-record fee. The Black Cats were left feeling let down by the shock developments, with Bent in red-hot form during the first half of the season, while Villa angrily rejected reports that they had gone about their pursuit of the England striker in an unprofessional manner. Bent had an immediate impact in the Midlands but speculation has resurfaced this winter about another possible transfer.
It is not always necessary for a club to splash the cash to strengthen their squad, and Arsene Wenger has been willing to bring back former players on short-term deals to help him through the run-in. Jens Lehmann returned last year and there is currently excitement around Emirates Stadium about what Thierry Henry might offer during his second stint with the Gunners. Sol Campbell showed that he could do an effective job when he was re-signed in January 2010 after being left as a free agent following a blink-and-you-missed-it spell at Notts County. Campbell provided experience and cover in defence and he played an important role after injuries to the likes of Thomas Vermaelen and William Gallas.
Another winter move from Arsenal, and a saga that was concluded in snow-swept London as the Russian playmaker beat the weather, and the transfer deadline, to sign from Zenit St Petersburg before the cut-off point in 2009. Arshavin's star was on the rise following a series of blistering performances at the European Championship the previous summer and this was the move that would allow him to showcase his talent on a regular basis. He soon became a fans' favourite, memorably scoring all four goals in a draw against Liverpool, but has fallen away dramatically over the past couple of years.
The nomadic Anelka was snapped up in 2008 for around £15million, having got his career firmly back on track during an impressive stint with Bolton. He had previously been quite hit and miss with a reputation for being difficult, but at Chelsea he has proved to be a wonderful asset and played his part in a successful period for the club. He has scored crucial goals and adapted well to various systems, even though his future now lies in China.
Also in 2008, but not quite generating as many column inches as Anelka's switch to Stamford Bridge, was the deal struck by Fulham for Hangeland. Manager Roy Hodgson's knowledge of the Norwegian game allowed him to win the race for the centre-back, whose uncompromising approach has ideally suited the Premier League. His value has rocketed over the past few years and he has reportedly attracted interest from several rivals, showing that it is not always necessary to chase famous names.
One of the most natural goalscorers in the Premier League, Defoe has often found himself on the move in January and reports have linked him with another change of direction in 2012. Tottenham have twice recruited the striker during the winter, first to lure him away from boyhood club West Ham in 2004 and then to re-sign him five years later. He has made an impression each time and remains a part of Harry Redknapp's title-challenging squad, but Spurs did allow him to leave for Portsmouth in 2008.
Battling to reclaim their status as the Premier League's top dogs after the emergence of Chelsea, Sir Alex Ferguson felt the need to reinforce his backline in January 2006. He moved quickly to agree a deal with Spartak Moscow for Vidic, but few could have envisaged then that the Serbian would go on to become one of the Premier League's all-time great defenders. Now captain at Old Trafford, Vidic has been instrumental in helping the Red Devils become the dominant force in English football once again and the nucleus of their defence contains another player signed at the same time, Patrice Evra.
A relatively unheralded signing in January 2005, Arteta was brought in on loan from Real Sociedad with a view to a permanent deal. He quickly settled into the Premier League and helped Everton claim a fourth-placed finish, while he went from strength to strength after penning a long-term contract for just £2million. The gifted playmaker may have never represented Spain at senior international level but he has been one of English football's shining lights for the past few years, and joined Arsenal in the summer for around £10million.

American Printer's mission is to be the most reliable and authoritative source of information on integrating tomorrow's technology with today's management.
May 29, 2001 12:00 AM
The new MetaDimension PDF workflow module from Heidelberg
(Kennesaw, GA) reportedly provides printers, trade shops and
service bureaus with a cost-effective gateway to PDF-based
workflows. MetaDimension's open interface also facilitates
integration into existing workflow systems. MetaDimension provides
smaller print shops and service bureaus with a cost-effective
alternative for moving to Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF)
based workflows.
Heidelberg plans to offer its new MetaDimension RIP (Raster
Image Processor) and workflow software for plate and filmsetters in
the second half of this year.
Open System Architecture & Modular Design
MetaDimension combines open system architecture with a modular design. Software can be integrated into existing workflow environments from other suppliers. MetaDimension is built on the Adobe PostScript 3 printing and imaging technology and is a PDF renderer. It supports a wide variety of prepress and workflow features and tools within the Adobe printing platform. These include color management, proofing, trapping, page positioning, CIP 4 and OPI (Open Prepress Interface). Users also have access to a diverse range of Acrobat plug-ins and applications to ensure a high-productivity PDF workflow.
MetaDimension has already been prepared for the new JDF (Job
Definition Format) industry standard. In the fall of this year, a
version will be available which will be able to import and export
screened TIFF data to control third party devices.
"In developing MetaDimension, Heidelberg takes another important
step towards an open industry standard based on PDF and JDF which
will allow an end-to-end workflow throughout the entire prepress
sector," said Ray Cassino, Director of Prepress Marketing,
Heidelberg USA.
MetaDimension is based on PDF and uses Adobe Portable Job Ticket
Format (PJTF). Both PostScript (Level 1, Level 2, and 3) and PDF
are supported as standard input formats. InRIP features such as
trapping, page positioning and color management ensure a compact,
automated workflow. An open, modular process can be constructed in
conjunction with other Heidelberg products like the Acrobat plug-in
SupertrapTM or SignastationTM imposition software. Signastation can
not only impose highly complex jobs in conjunction with PDF, job
tickets, and PostScript, but can also transfer all job data to
downstream production stations using CIP 4 PPF (Print Production
Format). This provides a means for automating both ink zone
presettings, and cutter and folder settings, which considerably
reduce set-up times.
MetaDimension can be customized to the user's needs and
expanded as required. Software packages such as PreflowTM,
consisting of Supertrap, PitStop Professional and PitStop Server,
for generating PDF data and the ROOM package for fans of the "Rip
Once Output Many" concept are also available. Integration with an
existing Delta Technology workflow is made possible by the
Delta-Flow option for importing Delta lists into MetaDimension.
MetaDimension can be operated from any PC or Mac in the
"MetaDimension's open and modular architecture gives
customers the reliability they need for their workflow," said James
Mauro, product manager for MetaDimension. "Users need not invest in
an entirely new infrastructure, but can continue using their
existing modules and operating procedures, and adapt MetaDimension
to suit their needs. This technology can provide customers with a
cost effective springboard to a full-featured PDF
True-color Softproofing Proofing options--include concept
proofs on desktop printers, true-color page proofs with integrated
color management, and true-color form proofs using, e.g. the
Hewlett Packard DesignJet family. Since MetaDimension outputs
standard TIFF, virtually any proofer can be integrated into the
workflow. The true-color softproof option supports customized
resolutions and delivers highly accurate results on the
Once the finished proof is approved, MetaDimension can
automatically initiate imaging to plate or film. Jobstream, a
plug-in for the Adobe printer driver, increases reliability in
production before the data is even output as composite PostScript.
Jobstream helps ensure properly executed InRIP separations, and
known problems can be corrected with composite PostScript data.
This prevents errors in the output that could otherwise lead to
costly and time-consuming reprints.
MetaDimension's bandwidth ranges from the simple,
cost-effective software PostScript RIP for small filmsetters to the
large, PDF workflow engine for a whole range of film and
MetaDimension supports the familiar HQS (High Quality
Screening), I.S. (Irrational Screening) and Diamond Screening. All
screening is calculated directly in the software, without the need
for any additional hardware.
MetaDimension extends the range of workflow products offered by
Heidelberg in the lower and medium price performance sectors and
will be the digital front end for all new output devices. Delta
Technology continues as the base for ROOM workflow , while Prinergy
remains the high-end PDF workflow system based on Adobe Extreme
technology for a fully automated, database controlled
Open, Modular Workflow
MetaDimension is the first step towards an open, modular PDF and JDF based workflow, which Heidelberg is developing not just for film, platesetters, and proofers, but also for digital presses such as the Quickmaster DI, Speedmaster DI, Digimaster and NexPress. Acrobat plug-ins and applications such as Supertrap and Signastation will continue to be extended, and new modules for special tasks will be added. As a solution provider, Heidelberg is committed to more than simply developing these modules. It is also working on integrating other makes of products to satisfy the workflow requirements of its highly diverse customer base.

In order to purchase a personalized baby gift you will need to find our some information first about the baby. It will be important to know some key information like name, sex, and maybe even the date of birth. The information that is needed will depend on what kind of personalized baby gift you are thinking about purchasing.
The variety available to you in the line of personalized baby gifts is large. Some possible items to have personalized are piggy banks, clothing, linens, and possibly even furniture. Before making a purchase of an item and making the effort to have it personalized you may want to ensure that the parents have not already purchased the item or received it as a gift from someone else.
Most of the time the personalized baby gift will be the babies name printed, or embroidered onto the item. It is critically important that you spell the babies name correctly. You don't want to offend or hurt the parents feeling by giving a personalized baby gift that is incorrect.
As with many other gifts the cost for personalized baby gifts will vary but something to keep in mind is that in addition to the cost of the item in many instances the actually cost of personalizing the item may mean you incur an additional cost. Regardless the cost can be in a wide range running anywhere from $20.00 to $200.00.
You should be able to purchase personalized baby gifts at a local retailer but if you don't have someone locally there are many resources on the internet that will either point you in the right direction or that sell personalized baby gifts.
As you give the personalized baby gift to the family you will find that it is something that they will treasure and as the baby grows up probably something that will appreciate. It is a nice way to welcome into the world a baby and although they are too young to realize it they will appreciate later on in life the personalized baby gift.

Children from all corners of Brooklyn came together last weekend to compete in a day of engineering challenges by building LEGO-based robots to complete tasks modeled after real-life technological challenges.
At the 13th annual FIRST LEGO League Brooklyn Qualifier, 42 teams gathered at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University (NYU-Poly), with more than 400 local elementary and middle school students working to advance to the next level.
The competition "introduces kids ages 9-14 to the thrill of hands-on robotics, research, teamwork and inquiry-based problem solving, in order to spark a lifelong passion for science and technology," according to a statement.
Twenty three teams advanced to the next level and were recognized for a variety of honors, including children from the neighborhood.
The Robotics Falcons from M.S. 113 in Clinton Hill placed first in programming. This award recognizes a team that utilizes outstanding programming principles, including clear, concise and reusable code that allows their robot to perform challenge missions autonomously and consistently.
Mission 11 from P.S. 11 in Fort Greene placed second overall for strategy and innovation. This award recognizes a team that uses solid engineering practices and a well-developed strategy to design and build an innovative, high performing robot.
The Fort Greene Prep Nanowolves placed first for research, being honored for their utilization of diverse resources to formulate an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the problem they have identified.
Finally, the Robo-Warriors from P.S. 270 in Fort Greene also advanced in the competition as they had the second-highest robot performance game score.
Those who placed will advance to the Citywide Championship held at the Jacob Javits Center in March.
