I don't know if this situation was karma, but it definitely ended bad for all parties involved. Dr. Craig Brigham, the neck surgeon who cleared Georgia All American Jarvis Jones weeks before this years draft, and who was being sued by former NFL player Samari Rolle for a botched surgery, was found dead outside his Charlotte home Monday morning. The Charlotte Observer is reporting that Brigham was found dead about 7 a.m. Monday. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police called it a "sudden/natural death investigation." "We are extremely sad to report that Dr. Craig Brigham passed away this morning from what appears to be causes related to an existing medical condition," Blair Primis, a representative of OrthoCarolina where Brigham worked, said in a statement. Brigham, 58, was facing a lawsuit, filed in 2011, that claimed he did not properly handle follow-up care after Rolle's spinal fusion surgery in September 2008. Brigham and OrthoCarolina denied the claim, although they didn't specify why in legal papers that they filed to answer the suit. Brigham's wife said the lawsuit by Rolle had taken a toll on her husband, but that she was confident that Craig Brigham would have won.

34 year old man | Cuyahoga Falls, OH, USA | Seeking women 23-35 within 25 miles
It's hard to believe there's nobody out there
I'm an honest and caring guy who hopes she's out there somewhere and is hoping to find her soon. I'm definitely excited to settle down and have a family when the time is right. Some people tell me I have an old soul. After being away from school for several years to focus on my career, I returned in 2010 to finish my bachelor's degree and was very excited to graduate this past May. I have worked at Bank of America for five years and I was very excited to recently take on a new position as a mortgage underwriter, learning a whole new business. I love music and I enjoy many styles of it, but I'm sure I'm living in the wrong decade. I enjoy jazz, blues, rock and roll, reggae, dub, classical, hip-hop, and many other styles. I like playing piano and studying music theory and recording technique in my free time. I also enjoy running, hiking, and going to movies and shows. I love my family and friends, I'm happy with my career, and I'm optimistic about the future. However, someone is missing. My ideal partner is caring, intelligent, beautiful, positive, and confident. I would like to mention that I have an 11-year old daughter who lives with her mom but spends regular time with me. She's a wonderful young lady - intelligent, beautiful, and very sweet. I wouldn't want you to see that I have a child and imagine diapers and drama with her mother or anything like that. You would not find me trying to push you into having a relationship with my daughter but obviously, I would love it if my soul mate, when I find you, eventually becomes a wonderful role model in my little girl's life! I understand that many are surely hesitant to date a guy with a child but you might be impressed with how well I maintain balance :)
Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Volunteering , Watching sports
Running, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Some other viewpoint
My favorite vacation spots in include the Tampa area (where my three best friends live) and Chicago. I would like to do more traveling and I promised myself upon my return from an exchange trip when I was 15 that I would visit Germany again some day.
The University of Akron, Akron, OH
The Beatles, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Thelonious Monk, Count Basie, Steely Dan, Michael Jackson, James Brown, Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, Carole King, Sly the Family Stone, and many others
I like going to concerts, movies, museums, and the occasional sporting event. Unlike most guys, I could probably be convinced to go to a play or musical without much trouble (you could thank my daughter for that!)
"The Art of War" by Sun Tzu... I'm usually reading something about music though.

It was said when Rick Sweet was "fired", and made a "Roaving Catcher's Coach", that it was done for two possible reasons:
1. To get David Bell's feet wet at the next level (AAA...and, this one I can't figure out as David Bell can't seem to motivate water to run downhill...his putrid record at AA is now exceeded by his even more putrid record at AAA). David Bell is going to be the next REDS' Manager.
2. Rick Sweet is going to be given a year off to look over the entire organization, so that he can help even more with the overall operation of things. As Louisville's all-time winningest Manager, having never had a losing season, along with three straight Division Crowns, 2008-2010, he's earned his dues to become a Manager of some Major League Ballclub, if not having been promised the REDS' job in 2013. Why else would you allow your bosses to "disrespect you", and disrespect it is for taking away your job you've been more successful at than anyone in it's history in order to give it to a Manager who has had nothing but bad season after bad season at the AA level, unless you were promised the Manager's gig the following year? At 60 years old, you're not getting any younger and it's time for you to go for it and get a Major League Managerial job. Do you really stick around for some made-up position after being so good at what you do when any number of clubs would be highly interested in your services as either a Manager-in-waiting (Hitting Coach, 3rd-Base Coach, etc.), or as a Manager? Of course not. But, then with a man like Bill Bavasi handling things, anything is always possible. Nobody can screw up an organization like Bavasi can. He's easily the most dangerous person (he makes Baker look like Sparky Anderson) in the organization. Since Bavasi joined the organization, the overall quality of the Minor League system has gone downhill, and will continue to do so until this guy leaves. (We're now down to #16, where we had been Top-10 http://www.baseballamerica.com/today...2/2613155.html ... Much of that can be contributed to the trades for Marshall and Latos. This ranking, though, included Mesoraco, Frazier, and Cozart in it. So, the "depth" has deteriorated quite a bit.) Bavasi, in a few short seasons, destroyed a great franchise in the Mariners. Look at how his other franchises have rebounded after he's been gone for five+ years, also.....anyway, back to, "Who's Managing the REDS in 2013?"
I can only hope that Rick Sweet is Managing. Nobody knows this current group of REDS better than he does, along with the fact that the guy just gets his players to win games.
3. Can Baker save his job, and if so, what will it take? I wouldn't be surprised that it's a foregone conclusion he's gone, even if he wins the World Series. Anything other than a Division Title is failure, without a doubt, as he's been given the talent to win around here. It took decisions that he didn't make (Scott Rolen going to the DL, and Willie Harris getting dumped, and Aroldis Chapman becoming the Closer) for this team to "excel", instead of treading water, which is the norm for any Dusty Baker led team, as his propensity to play Veterans, no matter how horrible they are and how many games they cost the team, and no matter how quickly they can turn a promising season into a disaster (pick your season), while stifling promising, young players' growth (pick your player) so that they can be more productive in future seasons.
If Baker wins the Division, does he save his job?
If Baker gets to the National League Championship Series, does he save his job? If he wins it, does he?
If he wins the World Series does he save his job?
I believe anything short of winning the World Series, Baker loses his job and Rick Sweet is the next Manager.

Follow Isaac on Twitter: @Isaac_Smith91 for regular article updates.
That's great news, Isaac! Glad I could help. Always enjoy reading your take on the Wings.
No problem, man. A lot of that is just intuition and double-checking how things are written out. Always helps to keep the B/R style guide handy, too. Just minor tweaks in the grand scheme of things.
Hey Isaac, What do you think about Cody Franson as a possible wings right-handed defenseman? He is good and do you think could trade on of extra centers for him (Helm)?
You're welcome, Isaac. Glad to help.
No problem, Isaac! My pleasure.
hello Isaac. last year around this time I suggested you do an article about captaincy vacancies. here is mine on WIIM.
please let me know what you think. also feel free to do something similar. it seems bleacher report gets more comments than the fan posts on that website during the offseason.
No problem, Isaac.
No problem, Isaac. Keep up the good work.
Not a problem, sir.
No problem, Isaac. As a huge hockey fan myself, I always appreciate a good hockey article. Keep 'em coming!

One sneaky way I have found to keep exercise on my mind is to keep a resistance band folded in my purse. That way no matter where I am I can utilize them. This comes in handy when sitting in the car (as a passenger)!
Keep water in your car, T your bedside and everywhere you will be
park wayyyyyyyyyy out and walk everywhere you go!
When you are trying to drink your 8 glasses of water everyday, carry it with you EVERYWHERE you go.

I'm really looking forward for some good critics, because I'm always trying to improve my paintings. I've bought a tablet recently, so I'm still practicing.
If you could give any critics I would be really grateful. I adore fantasy style, so my paintings always have some fantasy touch in them.

As has been said anatomy and proportion will help you. Also important to get a sense of where the light is in the scene and how it affects the people and objects, where are the shadows falling etc. On the first piece as an example the face has good lighting but the light doesn't seem to be affecting the hair or anything else in the scene the same way; correct light gives a sense of unity to the work.

Israeli helicopter gunships opened fire in the West Bank and Gaza Strip today after a Palestinian mob killed two Israeli soldiers.
Witnesses said helicopters fired in the vicinity of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's headquarters in Gaza City, but the building was not hit and the Palestinian leader was not in the building during the attack.
Palestinian hospital officials said 17 people were wounded in the attacks.
President Clinton today strongly condemned the killings of the Israeli soldiers and said he understood the "anguish" felt by Palestinians, but that there was "no possible justification for mob violence."
He called on both sides to work immediately for a cease-fire, and to condemn all acts of violence.
The use of helicopter gunships by Israelis has been seen as a clear escalation of hostilities in the region and has drawn strong reactions from the Palestinian side.
Black columns of smoke rose from Gaza City, and plumes of smoke curled above Ramallah, where witnesses said a radio transmission building, near Arafat's office in the city, was hit.
The Israeli attack came shortly after Arafat met with CIA Director George Tenet in Gaza City.
It was the toughest Israeli military operation against the Palestinians in two weeks of violence in which at least 96 people have been killed, almost all Arabs.
Israeli helicopter gunships fired missiles that knocked the Voice of Palestine radio off the air, witnesses said.
In Ramallah, Israeli rockets hit the police station where the killings of the Israeli soldiers took place and the official Palestinian TV station, which had been broadcasting extensive video of the violent clashes of the past two weeks.
The police station was reduced to rubble, and flames were pouring from a second building.
Israel is also keeping Palestinians from leaving their communities in the West Bank.
More Reprisals, If Necessary
Hours after the launch of the attack, during which Israel gunships rocketed five targets in Ramallah and Gaza City, Danny Yatom, a senior aide to Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, announced that the round of assaults were over.
However, Yatom warned of further reprisals, if necessary. "If the Palestinian Authority succeeds to do what Arafat promised so many times — to stop the violence, to stop the terror and to stop the shooting at our people, we won't take action," he said.
"If the Palestinian Authority doesn't succeed … we will be forced to defend ourselves and take action," Yatom said.
The Israeli Cabinet is holding an emergency meeting today.
Mob Attacks Israeli Soldiers
The Israeli attack came hours after Palestinian youths in Ramallah seized four Israeli soldiers, described by the Israeli army as "uniformed reservists," killing two and seriously injuring one, who was taken to hospital. The fourth soldier is believed to have escaped.
In what the Israeli army called a "lynching," at least one body was tossed out of a window into a crowd of hundreds of youths in Palestinian-ruled Ramallah, witnesses said. A car in which the soldiers apparently had been traveling was burned.
Israeli radio said the bodies of the two soldiers were taken to an Israeli army liaison office near Ramallah, where a military doctor pronounced them dead. Palestinian police sources said the two were stabbed to death.
An ABCNEWS team in Ramallah was attacked as they were photographing the attack on the Israeli soldiers.

Oops! Something went wrong and we were unable to process your request. Please try again.
A delicious blend of green tea, juicy peach and sharp ginger with a touch of Matcha, the Japanese ceremony tea. Matcha is similar to Gyokuro green tea in that it is an early season, high grade, shade - grown tea. After steaming, the tea leaf is finely ground to produce a light and fine green powder.
What is Matcha?
Matcha is the jade colored fine powdered green tea used for centuries in the Japanese tea ceremony. It is made from a special shade-grown Japanese green tea plant, which is hand-picked and the tea leaves are ground into a fine powder. The addition of Matcha, with its rich green tea flavor notes, makes this blend even more flavorful.

A Hollywood actor, who has appeared on "The Big Bang Theory" and had a role in "D3: The Mighty Ducks," has been charged with 17 counts of criminal sexual conduct in Minnesota. Authorities with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension say that an investigation is ongoing, and further charges could be added to the current Minnesota sex crime charges.
The 70-year-old actor lived and worked in Minnesota between 1992 and 2003. During that time, authorities say that the man taught drama at Shattuck-St. Mary's, a prep school in Faribault, Minnesota. Prior to his departure from the prep school, authorities claim that a school administrator found child pornography on the actor's computer.
An investigator with the BCA says that the child porn allegations had not been reported to law enforcement in 2003. However, the current criminal complaint includes one count of possession of child pornography. The school denies any knowledge of the alleged sexual assaults.
Authorities say that they opened an investigation in June when a person told an Olmsted Community Corrections employee of an alleged sexual assault at Shattuck in 2001.
The current charges involve allegations that the drama teacher lived on campus at the prep school as a "dorm parent," supervising students. Authorities say the actor had access to students, and engaged in sex offenses in the dorm and in classrooms at the Faribault school. The current 17 counts of criminal sexual conduct relate to six students at the school.
In the next entry, this blog will discuss the current charges in more detail.

Originally written on Puck Daddy | Last updated 1/20/12
With all the talk of picking, blindside hits, and the leaving one's feet that has dominated the discussion this season, it's often easy to forget that there are all sorts of dirty hits that have nothing to do with the head. With that in mind, I'd like to thank P.K. Subban for reminding us all of the effectiveness of the traditional slewfoot. One imagines Chris Kunitz -- not to mention Pittsburgh Penguins fans -- will be far less appreciative. Now, there appears to be some debate over whether or not this was a slewfoot or, say, a genial and fortuitous coming together of Subban and Kunitz's boots. For the naysayers, here's another angle, courtesy @TPBDerek: Yeah. That's a slewfoot. And now we turn to the question of Shanaban-ability. Is this incident worthy of supplemental discipline? I'm of the mind that it is, especially since Subban appears to be developing a knack for slewfoot-y tendencies. Here he is, pulling a similar stunt on Brandon Dubinsky. This hit sparked a debate as we...

On average, Technical Product & Program Managers in the United States earn six-figure salaries ($100K) annually, making for a very well-paid profession. Including potential for bonuses and profit sharing, each hitting highs of $20K, total cash payment to Technical Product & Program Managers can bottom out at $66K or peak near $153K. The most important factor affecting compensation for this group is geography, followed by years of experience and the specific company. Medical benefits are awarded to almost all, and a large number earn dental coverage. Male Technical Product & Program Managers are far more common among survey respondents than their female counterparts, who typically comprise less than one-third of the field. Job satisfaction is reported as high by the vast majority of workers. Participants in PayScale's salary questionnaire provided the particulars of this report.

Additionally, the role may require experience in the particular field in which the manager is to work.

Most notably, skills in Strategic Planning, Software Development, Engineering Design, and Agile are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 9 percent and 17 percent. Customer Relationship Management and Product Marketing as skills, however, tend to be associated with significantly smaller paychecks. Most people skilled in Product Development are similarly competent in Program Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience is an important factor influencing the compensation of Technical Product & Program Managers. Inexperienced workers earn around $83K, but people who have been around for five to 10 years pull down a much higher average of $102K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $114K. Veterans who have surpassed the 20-year mark may make only slightly more than those who are navigating the mid-career stage; the more senior group reports median earnings of around $126K.
Technical Product & Program Managers will find that San Jose offers an impressive pay rate, one which exceeds the national average by 28 percent. Technical Product & Program Managers will also find cushy salaries in Houston (+22 percent), Washington (+18 percent), New York (+16 percent), and San Diego (+14 percent). One of the biggest compensable factors for Technical Product & Program Managers is geography, with workers in Portland earning a whopping 20 percent below the national average.

IceRays like position they're in entering Game 3 of playoff series against Bulls
CORPUS CHRISTI - While they're coming off a loss, the IceRays have no qualms about the position they find themselves in after two playoff games.
The IceRays resume their North American Hockey League South Division series against the top-seeded Amarillo Bulls on Tuesday night at the American Bank Center. The teams are tied at 1 in the best-of-5 matchup with the next two games on Corpus Christi ice.
"We created a best-of-3 with two home games," IceRays coach Justin Quenneville said. "I don't think that's something you'd ever turn down, let alone against Amarillo, who obviously had a lot of success at home and is very difficult to beat (anyway)."
After the IceRays won Friday's opener 2-1, the Bulls responded fiercely in Game 2. Amarillo scored three times during the first period Saturday en route to a 6-3 victory. The Bulls set an immediate physical tone on their ice, which is considerably smaller than the regulation 200 feet long by 85 feet wide in most rinks.
"We knew that we were going to have to weather the storm in the first and knew there was going to be more urgency on their end," Quenneville said. "We didn't want to get away from our game plan. I think the combination of us playing on our heels a little bit and them capitalizing on the energy they created early in the game put us behind the 8-ball right off the hop."
It was a stark contrast to Game 1, when the IceRays played a strong overall defensive game. Game 2 saw a few one-on-one battles lost, with the puck ending up in Corpus Christi's net.
"They finished all their hits and did a good job coming at us and kept coming and grinding us down," IceRays forward Emil Romig said. "I think we did a really good job Friday limiting their second-chance opportunities, which we didn't do as well Saturday. I think that was the biggest difference."
Another difference was in goal. Hayden Stewart made 38 saves to help steal Game 1, but Quenneville tabbed Ben Myers to start Game 2. Myers had beaten the Bulls three times during the regular season, including both his starts in Amarillo. Quenneville said the plan was for Stewart to be back in net for Game 3.
"We felt like that this would give us the best chance to win a series as opposed to winning one game and hitting the panic button," Quenneville said. "Both goalies deserved that opportunity. As well as Stewy played Friday, Ben held his own, but obviously the outcome wasn't the same."
With a chance to push the Bulls to the brink of elimination, there is no secret about what the IceRays must do.
"We just have to play hard, shoot the puck, go for rebounds and finish our hits," Romig said. "Now we have a best-of-3 series and two of those games are at home, so we're in a pretty good position.
"There's no lack of motivation or anything. We all know what's at stake."

It was cool! We enjoyed it!
March 2015
We were lucky to meet Aurelia who was a knowledgeable and personable guide. It was like going for a walk with a friend who had done her research and more on the architecture and culture of Japan. We found out a lot about the symbolisms and the design concepts of the buildings. Aurelia started from the historical perspective at the Meiji temple in Harujuku and we learnt very quickly about the historical progression and architectural context. We proceeded to Omotesando and Roppongi. A Phd Scholar with a architectural background from Romania, Aurelia's acute perception and depth of knowledge of architecture was a plus and her personable skills made us feel like we were walking with friends. From an architectural perspective, this tour is highly recommended. My husband and I had a great time revisiting these buildings again in Tokyo from Australia. Make sure you have good walking shoes and architectural appreciation.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention, generally, relates to electric vehicles and, more particularly, to a new and improved station for restoring the electric power for such vehicles.
Solar energy has become increasingly popular as a source of electric power. One reason for this is the increased attention and concern that has been given recently to the highly polluting characteristics of the internal combustion engine, particularly as it affects the environment, and much experimentation has lead to the development of an effective electric powered automobile.
Electric powered vehicles are non-polluting, but the energy that they require, generally, comes from an environment polluting source. For example, if the electric energy source is a local electric utility grid, 80% of these use polluting fuels in order to generate their electrical energy.
Furthermore, only a small percentage of all generated electrical energy is actually available for use by the consumer, all the rest is lost in generation, transmission and distribution. Therefore, if any environmental gains are to be realized in converting to an electric vehicle, a low cost, convenient, easily accessible, readily available pollution free source for electricity is a convenience; it is a necessity and a requirement.
2. Description of the Prior Art
An early U.S. Pat. No. 4,090,577 that issued on May 23, 1978, to Moore describes the use of solar energy but not separate from an automobile.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,182,960 was granted Jan. 8, 1980, to Reuyl and describes the use of solar energy for charging batteries to heat a house and to propel a vehicle.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,850,879 to Langenbahn, granted Jul. 25, 1989, describes a drive-up electrical connection for attaching house current to a vehicle providing heat.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,885,995 issued on Dec. 12, 1989, to Antosh describes a monorail system operating from solar energy with means to charge ground support vehicles.
While the structural arrangements of these prior art devices at first appearance have similarities with the arrangement of the present invention, they differ in material respects. These differences will become more apparent as the present description proceeds.
An important object of the present invention is to provide a charging station, for an electrically powered vehicle, that is energy efficient.
It is also an important object of the invention to provide a charging station, for an electrically powered vehicle, that is environmentally safe.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a charging station, for an electrically powered vehicle, that is convenient to use.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a charging station, for an electrically powered vehicle, that is connected to the vehicle automatically.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved arrangement, for an electrically powered vehicle, to collect electrical energy during daylight hours.
Briefly, a charging station that is constructed and arranged in accordance with the principles of the invention has an energy storage area, a vehicle storage area and a solar panel array exposed to a source of radiation for converting the radiation into electrical energy. The electrical energy is stored in the energy storage area until the vehicle is returned to its storage area, where the electrical energy is connected for recharging the vehicle.
The above, other and further objects, advantages and features of the present invention will become more readily apparent from the following detailed description of the presently preferred form of the invention as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a vehicle recharging station that is arranged according to the invention.
FIG. 2 is a view in elevation of the energy storage area as arranged in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a view in elevation showing the front of the vehicle recharging station of the invention.
FIG. 4 is a view in elevation showing, in cross section, a preferred arrangement of an electrical contact between the vehicle and the energy storage area.
FIG. 5 is an electrical circuit showing contacts, wiring, and switches arranged for effective operation of the recharging station of the invention.
FIG. 6 is a flow chart illustrating various information, action and decision steps for charging a vehicle stored in the vehicle recharging station of the invention.
FIG. 7 is a flow chart illustrating various information, action and decision steps for storing electrical energy from a source of radiation.
Referring first to FIG. I of the drawings, the reference numeral 10 identifies the vehicle recharging station generally, which includes three components, (1) a contact room 11, (2) a charge room 12 and a radiation panel array 13.
The Contact Room 11. This is an area for storing any number of vehicles. By "storing" is meant to leave a vehicle 14 safely, unattended, usually overnight. A customary manner of use to which the contact room 11 is put today is a "garage" for enclosing at least one automobile.
Located within the contact room 11 is at least one, but preferably two, rails 15 to align a vehicle relative to the electrical contacts of the present invention for connecting an electrical storage element in the vehicle automatically to the recharging station 10 as the vehicle is moved into the contact room 11. By the term "electrical storage element" is meant, in today's terminology, a battery, even though a "battery" stores chemical energy, but it stores the chemical energy in a way so that it is converted readily into electrical energy when proper connections are made.
As shown in this view, the ends 16 of the vehicle guide rails 15 are curved toward each other. This is an important aspect of their arrangement for, first, capturing the front wheels of a vehicle 14 as it moves into the contact room 11 and, then, to guide the vehicle relative to engaging electrical contacts for the recharging function.
Refer to FIG. 4 to complete the description of the structural arrangement of the guide rails 15. The rails 15 have two parts, a guide rail 17 on the bottom, that is affixed firmly to the floor, and an electrical contact 18 on the top.
The guide rail 17 is formed of a suitable dielectric material, preferably wood, and the electrical contact 18 on top is formed of a suitable electrically conductive material which, also, will not rust readily, preferably copper. Each rail 17 is of a sufficient length to extend between one third and one half the length of the contact room 11 from the end wall 19 of the room.
In contrast, the length of the contact 18 is shorter. It extends only far enough so that electrical contact will be ensured when the vehicle is located properly. With the guide rails 15 positioning the vehicle correctly in a side to side direction, a front stop 20 positions the vehicle correctly in a forward direction. The stop 20 can take several different forms, in accordance with the invention.
A presently preferred form of front stop 20 is a rail that is located laterally across the path of the front wheels of the vehicle to be engaged by the wheels for stopping forward movement when positioned correctly. When a vehicle is located in this position, with its front wheels against the front stop 20, the length of the contact 18 is illustrated as being sufficient to extend about one half the distance to the front of the vehicle 14 and extending rearwardly about the same distance. The exactness of this dimension clearly is not critical to the proper functioning of the invention.
The front stop 20 includes at least one switch 21, but preferably two, which is closed by the vehicle 14 when positioned correctly against the front stop 20. The switch 21 forms an electrical indication that the vehicle 14 is in the correct position for its recharging operation.
The end 22 of the contact 18 sloops downwardly to ensure that a contact 23 on the vehicle 14 engages the upper surface of the fixed contact 18 smoothly and slides along that surface against the action of a spring 24 that urges the contact 23 firmly in a downward direction. The leading end of the contact 23 is beveled for further assurance that the contact 23 engages the fixed contact 18 in a smooth sliding action.
By this means, a good electrical contact is formed between the vehicle 14 and the fixed contact 18 on the floor of the contact room 11. The upper surface of the fixed contact 18 is wiped by a wire brush 25 on the vehicle, and to further ensure a good wiping action, the wire brush 25 is urged downwardly by a spring 26. Similarly, a wire brush 27 is located at the forward end 22 of the fixed contact 18 and is urged upwardly by a spring 28 to be engaged by the contact 23 on the vehicle 14 as the vehicle 14 moves into a recharging position.
An electrical connection 29 is attached to each contact 18 by any suitable means, and since usually the voltage is low, it need not be hidden or protected in any manner. But the current is high usually, or it can be relatively high, and therefore, this connection should be sized appropriately for the expected current flow. This, of course, is a matter of selection that is well within the purview of a skilled technician.
The Charge Room 12. The view in FIG. 2 shows the room, or area, in which is located a plurality of batteries, identified generally by the reference numeral 30. The presently preferred arrangement is that this area should be enclosed as a separate room 12 for safety reasons.
It is contemplated, according to the invention, that the batteries 30 are inexpensive, heavy duty, deep cycle batteries that will not out-gas or pollute in any way. They will be required to take a charge and be discharged repeatedly, which most batteries will do readily today. The batteries 30 are supported in any convenient manner, such as on several shelves or racks, as long as each is accessible for independent servicing, as needed.
Also located within the charge room 12 is a controller 31 enclosing a preselected number of switches, relays and other connections that a particular installation may require. As an example of one arrangement, the controller 31 will enclose a relay with windings for sensing low battery voltage and for opening contacts to disconnect the batteries 30 and to connect a charge cycle through a rectifier for supplying electrical current from ordinary house voltage during an otherwise normal recharge routine.
Other features that a particular installation may require are designed into the controller 31, all of which are readily within the skills of a technician. Another example is a relay connected to be energized by the closing of the switch 21 when the vehicle 14 is in position to begin a recharge routine which will connect the batteries 30 through the connection 29 to recharge the batteries in the vehicle 14 automatically.
The Radiation Panel Array 13. FIG. 3 illustrates a front view of an overall housing, not only to enclose the contact room 11 and the charge room 12, but to support the panel array 13 of radiation converters, such as solar cells. While solar cells are within the purview of present day technology, the invention is not limited to solar cells. For example, the rapid advance of this technology today may produce a way of converting other sources of radiation directly into electrical energy.
The panel array 13 is supported according to already known arrangements on the roof 32 of the vehicle recharging station 10. It is contemplated also that the direction of the panel array 13 will be toward the source of radiation, or if solar cells are used, toward the south.
Approximately 5000 individual solar cells, each capable of developing approximately 0.9 watts of power in direct sunlight, are mounted, protected and connected electrically in the panel array 13. These connections are in an appropriate series and parallel arrangement to provide the correct maximum voltage for charging the batteries 30.
The circuit diagram in FIG. 5 illustrates the respective features described above and shows in more detail how they interrelate with each other. The same reference numerals are used to indicate the same or comparable component parts that are described in detail above.
The vehicle 14 is illustrated as having a motor 33, or other prime mover, that is energized from a direct current source, such as a battery 34. The block 35 includes various controls that a vehicle manufacturer may design and build into its own version of the electric powered vehicle 14, such as an accelerator, head light switch, etc.
The sliding electrical contacts 23 are shown engaging the fixed contacts 18, and the switches 21, that indicate when the vehicle is in the correct position for recharging, are shown connected to the controller 31. A connection with house voltage also is illustrated, and its need will be described in more detail hereinafter.
Referring now to FIG. 6, the operation of the present invention will be described in connection with a flow chart of an interval of time when the vehicle 14 is stored in its garage, or the contact room 11. As indicated by the block 36, this time usually is at night.
Upon a determination whether the battery bank 30 is charged, as indicated by the block 37, assume that the answer is, "No". The next determination to be made is, "Is the vehicle in place", indicated by the block 38 on receiving information from the switches 21.
Assume that the answer is, "No", the vehicle is not in a correct position for having its battery recharged. There is nothing further to be done, and this is indicated by the block 39. Whereupon the controller 31 does not connect the battery bank 30 to the vehicle battery.
If the battery bank 30 is not charged but the vehicle 14 is in a correct position for being recharged, ordinary alternating current is used, as indicated by the block 40. This is made from house voltage that is rectified within the controller 31. It is not expected that the use of house voltage will be required in many instances, but it is available for which the invention makes provision.
Returning to the first decision made as indicated by the block 37, assume that the answer to the question, "Is the battery bank 30 charged?", is, "Yes". Again the question is asked, "Is the vehicle in place?" for being recharged, indicated by the block 41, and again, if the answer is, "No", there is nothing further to be done, which is indicated by the block 42.
However, if the answer to the question, "Is the vehicle in place?" for being recharged, block 41, is, "Yes", a question for which a determination must be made is, "Does the vehicle need recharging?". The block 42 indicates this decision, and if the answer is determined to be, "Yes", recharging is begun from the battery bank 30, indicated by the block 43.
On the other hand, if the answer to the question, "Is the vehicle in place?", is, "No", the fully charged battery bank 30 is available for alternative uses, indicated by the block 44.
In FIG. 7 of the drawings, the block 45 indicates an interval of time when the vehicle 14 is removed from its garage or the contact room 11, usually during the day. The block 46 indicates that it is during this interval that sunlight is most likely to be available.
The decision now must be made to the question, "Is the battery bank charged?", indicated by the block 47. If the answer is, "No", which is most likely because the vehicle is recharged overnight, a connection is made by the controller 31 to connect the battery bank 30 to the solar panel array 13, from which the battery bank 30 will be recharged.
On the other hand, if the answer is, "Yes", to the question in the block 47, indicating that the battery bank 30 is, in fact, fully charged, this charge is available for such uses as heating water, pumping water for the lawn, etc. This is indicated by the block 48.
The invention has been shown and described in detail referring to preferred embodiments. It is understood that changes may be made, but all changes coming within the claims are within the scope of the invention.

The Baltimore Ravens are 6-2 -- and appear to be completely vulnerable. The Pittsburgh Steelers are 5-3, graying and flawed but winners of three straight after being left for dead. The state of Ohio has two AFC North teams, too. All four except the Browns are now at the midway point of their respective 2012 seasons, and after this weekend all will have played nine games. The Ravens have overcome a bunch of injuries and some uncharacteristically bad defense to stay atop the division by a game. The Steelers are looking to make it four straight with a Monday-nighter vs. the Chiefs ahead of their first game with Baltimore. The Bengals haven't won since September. Among their four-straight losses heading into this Sunday's game with the Giants is one to the Browns, who stand 2-7 after letting the Ravens come back last week to post a win with the most misleading final score of the season, 25-15. The Browns are rarely boring. BIG GAMES AHEAD The Steelers host the Ravens in a Sunday Night F...

Burger King's lower-fat, lower-calorie Satisfries, shown here with a Whopper hamburger, are being discontinued in most markets. Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg
The UpTake: Burger King's healthy fry fizzed out quickly in most markets, but thanks to social buzz by the likes of BuzzFeed, it has brought Chicken Fries out for another run. The lesson for anyone in the restaurant business: Innovation, failure, rewinds, pivots, and social media are all on the menu.
S atisfries, Burger King's much-publicized answer to a healthier French fry, appear to be a flop.
About two third of Burger King restaurants in the United States and Canada have now opted not to carry the fries, which were introduced less than a year ago with much fanfare and high hopes, as a healthier fries option, lower in both fat and calories and designed to absorb less oil. Some 2,500 eateries out of 7,370 stores will still offer Satisfries, which are also still available in Europe where they were more recently introduced.
Meanwhile in response to demand on social media, the Miami-based fast-food chain announced Monday that it has brought back Chicken Fries, fry-shaped chicken pieces that come nine to a carton and sell for $2.89. (Nutrition wise, they're about the same calorie and fat count as regular fries, with twice the sodium.)
"Demand for this product is so fanatical that we asked ourselves: Who are we to get in the way of our guests having Chicken Fries?" Eric Hirschhorn, Burger King's chief marketing officer for North America said according to USA Today. The Chicken Fries had been discontinued for slow sales two years ago, but now the company thinks it may have dumped them too hastily. They were recently featured in a BuzzFeed story on food that people still crave, which Hirschorn says "ignited a conversation."
The fries swap comes at a time when fast food restaurants seem to be doing everything and anything to preserve business. Earlier this month, Burger King reported its revenue fell 6.1 percent to $261.2 million in the second quarter. Although its second-quarter revenues rose 1 percent globally, McDonald's missed estimates and saw its U.S.comparable store sales fall 1.5 percent the Chicago Business Journal, one of our sibling publications reported last month.
