Control panel design software
Control panel design software helps system integrators, panel designers, machine builders, and others more efficiently layout and specify a panel that meets application needs. Using software also helps with related challenges, including appropriate documentation. Software can speed design of future panels and helps with redesign, retrofits, or upgrades.
Panel design considerations can include selection of a suitable cabinet, appropriate design and layout, energy distribution, power and control wiring and isolation, modules and devices, sub-assembly selection, bill of materials (BOM), short circuit current ratings (SCCR), and related diagrams and documentation.
One example of such software is Panel Design Configurator 3.0, for planning and design of electrical distribution systems and switchgear by Striebel & John, a member of the ABB Group.
Documentation tools include parts lists, design, and circuit diagrams. Panel Design Configurator – Basis is a free basic version for drawing, producing front views, and more. It includes more than 5,000 graphical symbols.
Projects can be managed clearly folders following Microsoft Windows conventions, with direct access to parts lists, circuit diagrams, and plan views. Projects can be displayed and processed in the parts list or in the front view. Easy-to-use product navigator allows selection and drag-and-drop pasting of items, according to Striebel & John.
Add-on modules expand capabilities of the basic software package.
Panel Design Configurator-SLP is for drawing circuit diagrams. This module upgrades and replaces the StrieCad program, carrying over functions while adding the simple, modern interface used in Panel Design Configurator with additional functions for compiling circuit diagrams. Another 1,500 symbols are contained in this module.
Panel Design Configurator-EXP can be used to export data to various applications and other programs. Offers, parts lists, circuit diagrams, and front views can be transmitted in various formats. Circuit diagrams and front views are exported in DXF format. Offers and parts lists are exported in Acrobat PDF, RTF, Word, Excel or text formats.
Panel Design Configurator-GEN can generate user-defined symbols beyond the more than 5,000 offered in the basic version, and the 1,500 additional symbols added in the Panel Design Configurator-SLP module.
Panel Design Configurator-TPS is for planning and designing switchboards from 1250 A up to 4000 A. Use this software to plan a layout and calculate a project quickly and effectively, including calculations for the incoming circuit breaker, outgoing breakers, or fuse switch disconnectors. This add-on allows configuration according to project requirements, and it provides front views and parts lists accordingly.
More about Panel Design Configurator 3.0 is available at
Separately, EDS PowerCon configuration software for TriLine PowerModules helps with planning and calculating within enclosures.

Manchester City and Chelsea face a major battle to sign Napoli star Edinson Cavani after his representative revealed he wants stay with the Italian club, reports talkSPORT.
The 26-year-old has a burgeoning reputation as one of the most prolific forwards in world football at the moment, having scored 69 goals in just 96 appearances in Serie 'A' over the past three years.
Citizens boss Roberto Mancini has been heavily linked with a bid to bring the Uruguayan international to the Etihad Stadium, as he seeks to reinforce his front line following the January sale of Mario Balotelli.
Balotelli returned to his native Italy when he joined AC Milan at the turn of the year, and with some question marks still surrounding the long-term future of Carlos Tevez, Cavani is believed to have been identified by Manchester City as a replacement.
Chelsea are also monitoring the South American's situation, as Roman Abramovich looks to strengthen the Stamford Bridge squad, even before appointing a new permanent manager, after interim boss Rafa Benitez leaves at the end of the season.
However, Cavani's agent Gennaro Famiglietti has dealt both Manchester City and Chelsea a blow after reiterating that his client is happy in Naples, and has no desire to leave Stadio San Paolo this summer.
"Cavani loves the club and the city," Famiglietti confirmed on Italian radio station Kiss Kiss. "We have already said that he is ready to stay if the squad can become stronger and new signings can arrive.
"Few clubs can pay the price for Cavani and this will determine his future. There is no agreement with anybody. The player is ambitious and wants to win titles with Napoli."

The European Tourism Day (27th September) brings us to a reflection about this key sector in our economy (and in our lives, since almost all of us have been or will be tourists at least once in our lives…).
Tourism can be considered, in terms of turnover, job generation, development, impact and promotion, as one of the most powerful industries in the world, especially in Western European countries. Specifically in Spain, tourism has played a key role in opening up the country (in the late 1960's) and in fostering the economy (in the late 1980's). This was based on a simple business model: let's attract our visitors (as many visitors as possible!!) by promoting our natural resources (the sun, the beach) at a very affordable price. Which has inevitably led to the destruction of great parts of our coast, which is now full of terrible skyscrapers… that are empty for at least 6 months of the year!!
This model is no longer sustainable in the long-term, and the different actors in the sector (private companies like airlines, hotels, restaurants, etc. and public entities at national, regional and local level) need to overcome their short-term interests and work out together a new strategy.
How is it possible that in Spain we do not have a specific Ministry for Tourism and not even a Secretary of State? Why are there so many obsolete touristic infrastructures? Why is the solution in times of crisis to keep on pushing the prices down, instead of taking the opportunity to look out for new market niches (like e.g., the organisation of congresses)? Why isn't there a bigger support for the development of new technologies which are specific for tourism and are developed by the leading companies in this field (which happen to be Spanish)? Where is the sector heading to?
Tourism in Spain has got an incredible potential, not only in terms of visitors or jobs, but also in terms of contribution to the development of our country. It can be the test field for new ICT solutions for Internet (just remember how you booked and organised your vacations 10 years ago, and how you do it now), but also for a more efficient use of energy (have you ever thought how much energy is needed for example in a hotel: heating, air conditioning, kitchen, laundry, swimming pool, spa, etc.?), just to name a few.
In fact, it can have a terrific impact in contributing to reach the goals of the recently approved "Europe 2020 strategy", which aims to develop a strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, by reducing unemployment of women and younger people, reducing CO2 emissions and increase the use of alternative energies, fostering innovation and R&D, and improve education.
We just need a clear strategy and a specific plan, alligned at all levels, to foster tourism. A plan that devotes specific budgets, funding, financing tools and grants to support the development of specific innovations for tourism (in ICT, in energy, in mobility), which can then also be used further in other sectors of activity.
Hopefully we do not miss this opportunity!!

The Point of It All: A Lifetime of Great Loves…
Created and compiled by Charles Krauthammer before his death, The Point of It All is a powerful collection of the influential columnist's most important works. Spanning the personal, the political and the philosophical, it includes never-before-published speeches and a major new essay about the effect of today's populist movements on the future of global democracy. Edited and with an introduction by the columnist's son, Daniel Krauthammer, it is the most intimate and profound book yet by the legendary writer and thinker. In his decades of work as America's preeminent political commentator, Charles Krauthammer elevated the opinion column to a form of art. Whether writing about statecraft and foreign policy or reflecting on more esoteric topics such as baseball, spaceflight and medical ethics, Krauthammer was beloved not only for his penetrating wit and insight but also for his ability to identify the hidden moral truths that animate our politics and culture. This new collection, which Krauthammer composed before his death in June 2018, features the columns, speeches and unpublished writings that showcase the best of his original thought and his last, enduring words on the state of American politics, the nature of liberal democracy and the course of world history. The book also includes a deeply personal section offering insight into Krauthammer's beliefs about what mattered most to him--friendship, family and the principles he lived by--all anchored by Daniel Krauthammer's poignant eulogy for his father. For longtime readers and newcomers alike, The Point of It All is a timely demonstration of what it means to cut through the noise of petty politics with clarity, integrity and intellectual fortitude. It is a reminder of what made Charles Krauthammer the most celebrated American columnist and political thinker of his generation, a revealing look at the man behind the words and a lasting testament to his belief that anyone with an open and honest mind can grapple deeply with the most urgent questions in politics and in life.

Behavior researcher Priscilla Dunstan, creator of the Dunstan Baby Language System and of Oprah fame, has it all laid out in her new book, Child Sense (Bantam). "All kids have a dominant sense that determines how they experience and relate to the world," she says. Here's a guide to understanding your little alien:
The Tactile Child
Tactile kids express themselves physically. If happy, they skip; if sad, they need a cuddle; if angry or excited, they push or shove. They learn by doing.
What it means for babies
These little ones love to be held all the time, but they're also soothed by movement. If your arms need a break, put him in a swing or carrier.
What it means for toddlers
These are the guys you see throwing themselves on the ground and thrashing about. Try tickling him or doing something else that is physical yet playful to "wake him up" from the tantrum. If that doesn't work, walk away. Tactile kids don't like to be alone, and the act of running after you may help him switch gears.
What it means for preschoolers
He'll respond best to lessons that involve tangible items. Use blocks to teach counting, and find objects that all start with the same letter -- ball, butter, belt; cat, cup, carrot -- to help him learn the alphabet.
The Auditory Child
Auditory kids notice the tone of people's voices and noise levels. They vocalize all of their feelings: laughing uproariously, crying loudly, shouting angrily. They are logical and mathematical, always looking for order and patterns.
What it means for babies
This child startles easily and will listen intently to music, but don't play it at bedtime -- it will distract her so much she won't be able to go to sleep.
What it means for toddlers
High-pitched squeals often punctuate this child's tantrums. Try a quick, focused conversation or her favorite music to alleviate a meltdown. Or take her to a quiet spot to calm down.
What it means for preschoolers
These kids learn best when being read to, matching the sound of a letter with the letter itself, and, of course, by singing the ABC's.
The Visual Child
Visual kids learn by watching and imitating you. They enjoy organizing their toys by shape, color, or size, and tend to learn to read easily. Too much visual input from TVs, crowds, and clutter can be distracting.
What it means for babies
Visual infants often get labeled "good babies" because it's easy to meet their needs. All that these babies need to feel secure and comforted is to be able to see their parent or caregiver nearby.
What it means for toddlers
Tantrums for these kids are very dramatic, with vivid expressions and copious tears. Offer a visual distraction, such as a brightly colored toy. Or just look away -- he hates being deprived of an audience.
What it means for preschoolers
These tots get bored if they can't see what they're learning; think picture books, flash cards, and drawing on a chalkboard.
The Taste-and-Smell Child
These children are intuitive and more attuned to the emotional world. They're also highly sensitive and averse to loud noises, bright lights, and strong smells and tastes.
What it means for babies
These little ones like to be cuddled, but they're not calmed simply by being held. If you're nervous or fearful, they're likely to be agitated, too.
What it means for toddlers
Taste-and-smell toddlers require lots of reassurance. Let her know that even if you're disappointed in her behavior, you won't stop loving her.
What it means for preschoolers
The relationships this child has with her teachers can make or break school. Help her along by showing how much you like the teacher.

NCSCB and AIR working together on requirements
The National Cable Splicing Certification Board recently started to work with the American Institute for Research to define the knowledge, skills, abilities, and duties required of a medium voltage—35kV—cable splicer. Certification in three categories is expected to become available by the end of this year.
Once these requirements have been defined, subject-matter experts will begin writing test items that will certify individuals based on knowledge of OSHA requirements for working in confined spaces, lockout/tagout procedures, electrical safety standards, splicing termination, and competency to perform hands-on cable splicing/terminating in a safe and timely manner.

Get the Coverage You Need
Slippery roads, runaway shopping carts, break-ins, deer crossings, young drivers, fender-benders and vandals... there are a lot of good reasons to buy car insurance. And did you know it's required by law in most states? I can help you get the coverage you need.
Replacement Coverage Unlike the Others
How does our auto replacement coverage rate? For one thing, your car can be up to four years old (five in select states) and still be eligible for replacement if your vehicle is totaled. Being in an accident shouldn't mean you have to give up on having a new car.
Young Driver Safety Program
The freedom of a driver's license also brings responsibility. To help young drivers stay safe on the road, we've created the Young Driver Safety Program. This program offers drivers under age 25 the opportunity to earn a premium discount as they learn about driving and practice behind the wheel.
Roadside Assistance
When you add our Emergency Roadside Assistance coverage to your car insurance policy, you can count on fast, reliable help. In most cases, there are no out-of-pocket costs and we make it simple to get back on the road.

Huntsville, Ala. - The Tennessee State men's basketball team won its first true road game of the season on Saturday night against Alabama A&M, 83-72.
Tennessee State (3-5) had a season-low 10 turnovers in the game, but forced the Bulldogs into 14 miscues.
The Tigers made the most of their good defense, scoring 21 points off of Alabama A&M (2-4) mistakes.
TSU had four players finish in double-figures in Robert Covington, Kellen Thornton, Patrick Miller and Jordan Cyphers. Covington led all scorers with 27 points while Thornton added 17.
Tennessee State head coach Travis Williams stressed taking good shots in practice during the week, and it showed, as the Tigers shot 51 percent (26-51) from the field and 79.4 percent (27-34) from the charity stripe.
TSU won the tip and Covington got off to a quick start, nailing his first shot of the game- a long three-pointer. Alabama A&M ran down the floor and countered with a jumper, beginning a fast-paced first half in which neither side took a timeout.
Covington continued to lead the Tigers on offense and scored seven of TSU's first eight points of the game. He finished the half with a team-high 14 points.
Covington may have been leading the charge, but Tennessee State also got strong first half play from Cyphers and Thornton.
Starting from the 15:43 mark, Cyphers canned six straight points for the Tigers during a one-minute span. Cypher's scoring flurry gave the Tigers a 14-8 lead.
Thornton, meanwhile, had eight points for the Tigers during the opening stanza on 4-7 shooting.
TSU finished the first half on a 9-2 run that started with 3:38 to go and led at the break, 39-31.
Both teams shot well from the field during the period, as TSU was 15-27 (55.6 percent) while Alabama A&M shot 14-27 (51.9 percent).
TSU came out of the gates with gusto, and eventually led by 13 when Thornton converted a layup with 17:27 left in the game.
The Tigers kept up the pressure and Miller nailed a jumper at the 8:52 mark to give the squad a 20-point cushion- its largest of the game.
Miller finished the game with 16 points on 4-9 shooting.
Alabama A&M whittled down the lead for the rest of the game, but couldn't get back within seven of the Tigers, and TSU walked away with an 83-72 victory.
Tennessee State had eight players finish with at least 15 minutes played.
Hear Williams's thoughts on the game, below:
The Tigers will go for three straight wins when they take on the Drexel Dragons at home on Tuesday night at 7 p.m.

Are you selfish? I would say that, but I wouldn't get ahead of yourself. Take it slowly. Better to get Gizzy well adjusted to his new home before introducing another cat. But knowing his record, it could just trigger his urge to spray.
"We humans are indeed fortunate if we happen to be chosen to be owned by a cat." -- Anonymous
Oh ya for sure. I know how moving can take a toll on cats and cause them stress. I will take it slowly and just wait for what life hands me when we cross that bridge thanks!
Just a lil update, kind of concerned:
Ok so we covered the crate back up with blankets, right? And Gizzy sometimes pulls the blanket into the crate for whatever reason he does. And I guess when I come home and I pull that out first instead of saying "hi" he hisses at me. Cats hiss when they are scared, so does he think my hand is someone else's hand? Or can there be a medical reason for him to hiss other than being scared/startled?
And if anyone has been hoping that we move to a bigger place soon, I thank you a lot! There is a chance that we may be moving!! My bf's grandmother fell at her house and later they found that she couldn't stand so she ended up going to the hospital and she broke her tibia and they found a heart murmur. So it turns out one of his uncles had a reservation for her at a home for about a month now and I guess this is the catalyst he was waiting for. So she'll be going to the home on wednesday, and there apparently isn't any rush to sell her house. So hopefully my bf's cousins won't want to live there and possibly we can live there instead. It's bittersweet and I am bracing myself for the ramifications of her reaction when she realizes she will never see her home again
However, IF we move there, we will still be renting and until I own a house, I feel it will still be best to crate Gizzy in order to minimize the risk of spraying especially in a house that is my bf's grandmothers whereas if it were my grandmother.
Now off to educate myself on dogs on this forum, because I am off for a week lol this move would prolly allow my bf to finally get his husky and that means getting HIM out to walk and exercise and get healthy! lol
So why don't you speak with Gizzy first and then let him out of his crate? and while he's out, then take out the blanket. Don't know why he's hissing---want my blankie in the crate with me? you don't say hi or speak to me? bored, and have to do something......who knows, but it doesn't seem as if he's startled, maybe more like mad or upset you're taking out the blanket after he spent a lot of time pulling it in there. Maybe he wants to see out? or wants to lie on it bunchedup (my cats like to do that). Does he pee on it? IMO I don't think there's a medical reason Gizzy is hissing. Most cats hiss because they are scared, startled or annoyed.
Am sure you'll find lots of advice on the forum re dogs, or Huskies in particular.
Sorry to hear about your bf's grandmother, hope she'll make a good recovery. As for her house, remember that saying "don't count your chickens before they hatch". Who knows what will happen there?
"We humans are indeed fortunate if we happen to be chosen to be owned by a cat." -- Anonymous
I usually speak to him as soon as I set my school bag down, but I see the blanket pulled in first and just go to pull it back out so he doesn't see Forest and therefore set him off again. The hissing seems new, as with him wanting to climb all over me and even plopping himself on my chest in between my laptop, it has been very nice for him to want to help keep my lap warm ! When he hisses I ask him in a nice voice why he is hissing and then he meows back as if he wants out, or can't get out fast enough. Other times he has hissed after being put in the crate at night time. Maybe he's getting tired of being put in there all the time, I dunno. Thanks for thinking of reasons tho
Ya we're just hoping right now, nothing is set in stone, but it can't hurt to visualize either...
I hate to be a pain but I feel like we're at the end of our rope with Gizzy.
We came home today to a smell that couldn't be ignored. We decided to clean the floor of the cage, but upon taking everything out of the cage to be able to pull it out, we came acorss his urine-soaked bed. So needless to say, that bed has gone down the garbage chute because I just don't know how to clean something that is covered in hair, litter and urine.
So as of tonight, he has no bed to sleep in. But he hasn't really slept in it for quite awhile now.
We are going to take him to the vet to rule out any illnesses before deciding whether to surrender him or not. If that happens, I don't think I will be getting another cat until Forest passes as to not stress him out and b/c my bf thinks cats don't need to be introduced which I do not have the energy to explain to him that they do...
I guess what I'm not clear on is how much time is Gizzy in the crate? Do you put Forest in another room and let Gizzy have livingroom to run around to burn off some energy in exercise? Do you play actively with him, using something like a teaser toy? Give him lots of loving? I know when he sees Forest he's stimulated to spray, and I know in your small apartment there isn't much room for juggling cats in the kind of situation you've got. Hissing a lot as you reported Gizzy doing in your previous posts in July is always a sign of unhappiness, annoyance or frustration. It will be a difficult decision to make whether to surrender him or not that's for sure. I don't envy the position you're in, but I'm sure you and your bf will come to a decision that will be the best for Forest, Gizzy and yourselves. All the best!
"We humans are indeed fortunate if we happen to be chosen to be owned by a cat." -- Anonymous
From about 2pm - 10pm during the week, he is out of the crate. Forest doesn't go anywhere. Forest has hairball problems so we have to watch him to make sure he doesn't vomit on the carpet. On weekends he comes out when we get up and if we go out then he goes back in, or if we stay home he stays out of the crate, unless it's meal time and he eats his food in the crate which he has trained us to do.
When the hissing started, a few days after he hide in his litter box whenever it's time for him to go in his crate. I don't know why he needs to hide inside his crate, I'm never angry or mad at him when it's crate time .
Gizzy gets a lot of pets when he comes out of the crate. He runs into my hand when he's out and if I take it away too quickly he will do a lil bite or swat at me, then when he's had enough head butting my hand he will walk all over my lap and finally snuggle up against me or half on my lap. I play when I can with him, but he's usually zooming around the room to even care about the toys I have for him to play with.
I hope the vet can help but also not be too difficult on the food issue.
Thanks catlover2!
Gizzy sounds like he's getting enough time outside his crate for exercise to really stretch his legs and give his muscles a workout and gets lots of attention. Maybe a special treat (something he really likes, piece of cheese or chicken) when he has to go in his crate would change his behaviour from hiding or hissing and make him happier about going in. His "bed" can be old (or cheap) towels or baby blanket, so that if soiled they can be washed easily.
As for Forest's hair ball problem, one way to eliminate that is to run the comb through his coat twice a day---sounds like a lot of grooming, but it isn't really and only takes a couple of minutes. Older cats often start to neglect their grooming, and most really appreciate having it done for them and not having to lick up and swallow all that fur.
I realize that this crate setup isn't ideal for an active Bengal mix, but does control and limit his spraying in your apartment to make it more livable for you and your bf. Hope everthing turns out well at the vets.
Don't know what you mean by vet "not be too difficult on the food issue." ??

I hope you realize if you chose to surrender Gizzy at this point he will most likely be pts. Not many people want to take on a cat who sprays. I wish you would have taken me up on my offer months ago when I had a spot for him.
I will keep my fingers crossed for Gizzy. I am almost hoping the vet finds something wrong with him to justify the spraying.
Assumptions do nothing but make an ass out of u and me.
We can stick our heads in the sand for only so long before it starts choking us. Face it folks. The pet population is bad ALL OVER THE WORLD!
Why must everything go wrong when you don't have the money to fix anything? Soo depressed right now.
Oh dear....any news? You've been in my thoughts and prayers. Hope everything works out for the best, whatever that may be for you all.

Thanks catlover2! You're an ! Matt (my bf) isn't mad anymore at Gizzy so I think the thought of giving him away is subsiding! It also helps that Gizzy is warming up to him each and every day! He climbs all over his lap, up his chest, head butts his hand and demands to be scratched and pet.
There is still the issue of him hissing whenever we are fixing the blanket on the crate but we just have to ignore it and speak baby/kitty talk to him to let him know there is nothing to be scared of.
And I bought Forest a Kitty Kong Zoom Groom and he LOVES it! He even knows when it's time to brush the other side! Hopefully this helps with his hairball problem !
Happy to hear Gizzy is happier and things are improving, especially between your bf's attitude and Gizzy. Glad to hear bf is happier and more positive with Gizzy who's certainly responding to him in an affectionate way and showing how much he appreciates the change. This sounds like one of my spays I had many years ago who held a grudge against my hubby for accidentally stepping on her. He never apologized to her for it, and she avoided him from then on and hubby ignored her and never talked nice to her. Finally I convinced him to try sweet-talking her after about 12 yrs! And she responded very much like Gizzy did quite quickly and ended up being his lap cat! So cat's can change if treated and talked to with respect and love. Hope everthing continues to get better from here on.
The Zoom Groom sounds like a fabulous grooming tool, I've seen them but first time I've heard how cats like them. Certainly sounds better than a wire slicker brush as the rubber teeth probably give a nice massage. My Devon Rexes shed very very little, but I occasionally run a comb through my girl's coat as it's a little thicker than my boy's.

Yes a cat is the worst animal to hold a grudge with because they can always pick up what you're feeling and take it up 1 notch lol and make you feel even worse!
Gizzy likes the Zoom Groom too! He usually doesn't like anything because of his skittish behavior, but when this comes out he just lays down on the spot!
So there may be bumps in the road with this whole crate thing but I'm glad I have you guys to vent to and the wonderful suggestions that keep coming!
That's great to hear the improvement and we're always happy to help and and try and solve any problems, and we all learn from each other especially when you update so well to tell us what works and what doesn't. Great! I'm thinking that this thread has now become too long to read through from the beginning? If other questions arise, perhaps it would be better to start a new thread? All the best! now, Gizzy, you be a good boy!

"We humans are indeed fortunate if we happen to be chosen to be owned by a cat." -- Anonymous
Just a quick Q: Per my "Found a cat" thread @ http://www.pets.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=72963: what would the repercussions be if I were to shelter the cat in a crate in my bedroom, doors closed? Forrest meows all day everyday, so I don't know if that would upset the new cat at all or if Gizzy would sense anything amiss?? Or does this have bad idea written all over it? I don't want another cat, I just don't want to see this cat suffer the cold winter. But at least someone is feeding him something...
So this is what it feels like to be between a rock and a hard place
It is really quite impossible to predict what kind of reactions there would be. The fact that he would be crated would mean you could keep him as far away from the bedroom door as possible but I'm sure they would still sense that he was there even if he was quiet.
Do your other cats normally go in the bedroom?

You said yourself "I just don't want another cat", so why are you considering it? Yes, it would upset Gizzy & Forest to have an unneutered cat in your apt. Even if they couldn't see him, they could smell him. Yes, it has "bad idea written all over it". I know it's hard to see a cat suffer by being homeless, but I strongly recommend that you find a relative, friend that would be willing to foster, or contact some resuce groups outside of Toronto. I wouldn't jeopardize what gains you've made in Gizzy & Forest's relationship by doing this...you've worked too hard to have achieved some level of harmony and tranquility in your home.

I just read what Catlover2 posted on the other thread and she is absolutely 100% correct.
Given the issues you have had with your boys and the gains you have made in resolving them it is definitely not worth the risk of jeopardizing everything that has been accomplished. Hopefully someone else will be able to take this boy in.

I don't want to keep him, I just don't want him to die from the cold. If I had a bigger house I could keep him and do proper introductions but that's not happening right now. He looks like he is fixed tho cuz his "things" look like Gizzy's does only a teeny bit smaller, but then again who knows.
If ppl didn't steal I could buy a cat igloo and put it there for him...
Dollface if yon check the threads here or even contact 14+ I am pretty sure she has some information on how to make a cozy house for a kitty from rubbermaid containers, styrofoam & hay I think?
I agree with the others...you have too much work into the 2 you have now and I think you would be risking some real set backs.
Good luck

Ok thanks everyone! Not gonna take him in at all, but just want to try to build him a house/someplace warm to sleep. If I brought a can of food and left it there for him, opened, will only cats eat wet food, or will any animal just take it too? If that's the case, I would have to give it to him when he's there, right? There is a vet close by, should I take him to get checked out or something?
I'm glad you made the decision not to take him. Of course, it would be better if someone could take him and get him off the streets. If that's not possible, having him checked out at the vet and get him shots and neutered if he's not would be the next best thing. Thank you for thinking thinking to have him seen by a vet for a checkup, shots, worming, etc. that would be wonderful.
There are a lot of racoons in Toronto and yes they love cat food. As well as there are other stray homeless cats likely around as well. You can't guarantee that only this boy will get the food, if that's your intention. Cats are creatures of habit and routine and if you always went or someone did at the same time each day to feed, I'm sure he would be there waiting for food and probably some of his friends too. A waterproof box with shredded newspaper would give some insulation and warmth.

� Buffs, Horned Frogs top in Texas
Since 2005, when Don Carthel became head football coach at West Texas A&M, the Buffaloes have complied a regular-season winning percentage that ranks them as one of the best college football programs in Texas.
WT has a 71-16 record (.816) in regular-season games since 2005. Among all Texas NCAA Division I and Division II programs since 2005, only Texas Christian has a better winning percentage with a 78-17 record (.821) in regular-season games.
Midwestern State is third with a 66-19 mark (.776), followed by Texas with a 72-22 record (.766).
West Texas A&M and Texas Christian are the only programs in the state to play in postseason competition every year since 2005. During that time, WT has qualified for either the NCAA playoffs or a bowl game.
Carthel is 79-22 overall at WT and is 125-68 all-time in 17 seasons.
The Buffs just finished the best football season in school history, going 12-3 and earning their fourth Lone Star Conference championship and a berth in the NCAA tournament. WT made the deepest run in the playoffs in school history, reaching the national semifinals this past weekend.

The eighth-ranked Maryland women's basketball team failed to protect a double-digit lead in the first half, then trailed by 11 late in the game before staging a frantic comeback that wasn't enough to overcome an extended shooting lull in a 60-57 loss to No. 15 North Carolina Thursday night at Carmichael Arena.
Despite missing 17 of 19 shots during one stretch in the second half and needing eight minutes to score their first field goal after the break, the Terps had two chances to tie in the final seconds. First, Katie Rutan's 3-point attempt was blocked by Tierra Ruffin-Pratt, and another 3-pointer from the junior guard hit the front of the rim as time expired to end Maryland's six-game winning streak.
"Obviously a tough environment, as always, to come in here," Maryland coach Brenda Frese said. "I thought Carolina did a tremendous job of taking us out of everything we wanted to do on the offensive end. It was a tough, physical game, but credit them in terms of how they defended and rebounded the basketball tonight."
The Terps (10-3, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) got 15 points and game highs of 16 rebounds, six assists and four steals from All-American Alyssa Thomas, who scored all nine of her second-half points in the closing 5minutes, 36 seconds. The ACC Player of the Year's final field goal with 13 seconds left drew Maryland to within 59-57, but North Carolina's Krista Gross made the first of two foul shots, and the Tar Heels held on to win their seventh in a row.
Tianna Hawkins added a game-high 23 points for Maryland but was unusually inaccurate. Entering the game second in the nation in field-goal percentage (.647) and second on the Terps from the foul line (88.2percent), the senior forward missed 12 of 21 shots and six of 11 free throws.
Maryland made nine of 17 free throws for its lowest percentage of the season and nearly 25 percent below its season average. The Terps also finished 32 percent from the field, another season low, and went 8-for-34 in the second half, 0-for-8 from 3-point range.
"Just us not coming out, not being focused," Thomas said. "The coaches prepared us for what they were going to do, jump out on us and pressure us, but we didn't respond."

News Release
Media Contact: TPWD News, email@example.com, 512-389-8030
May 15, 2006
Public Invited To Participate in Reefing Program
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Artificial Reef Program is initiating a new reefing option in which organizations and members of the general public can participate. The new Public Reefing Program will enable persons to reef materials approved by TPWD at existing reef sites in the Gulf of Mexico that have been permitted to TPWD.
The Public Reefing Program will provide greater opportunities to enhance the artificial reef potential off Texas through direct participation of the general public in development of offshore artificial reefs along the Texas coast. It is designed to allow private citizens, organizations or corporations to deploy their own artificial reef materials creating new and expanded artificial reefs off Texas under the direction and guidance of TPWD.
Reefs created under the authority of the program will be placed on sites permitted to TPWD by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. TPWD currently holds numerous reef building permits, and is authorized by these permits to conduct reef development activities by placing inspected and approved artificial reef materials within these sites.
It is the Artificial Reef Program's intention to establish a 160 acre reef site nearshore of each major port area, including Galveston, Corpus Christi and Port Mansfield. In addition, other pre-existing sites can be used by the general public for the reefing of additional materials.
The TPWD Artificial Reef Program's goal is to provide artificial substrate that supports marine habitat which will develop into a complex reef community. Materials to be used in the construction of artificial reef units must be chosen with safety to the marine environment, durability and stability in mind.
Any person, organization, firm, or corporation wishing to participate in the Public Reefing Program and deploy materials to be used as artificial reefs must adhere to the rules and guidelines that will be established by TPWD and incur all costs associated with the acquisition, building, inspection, testing and deployment of the materials. All materials deployed under this program become the property of the State of Texas.
The Public Reef Building Program does not replace the Rigs-to-Reef or any other artificial reef program. It will be a means in which the general public can participate in the building of fishing reefs in waters closer to shore than many of the reefs currently managed by the program.
Participants should submit an application to TPWD listing the materials they would like to reef. Once inspected and approved, participants will be issued a reefing permit to deploy those materials at a pre-determined reef site.
Workshops for public input into the program will be held:
- June 6, 7 p.m., at the TPWD Dickinson field office (1502 FM 517 East);
- June 8, 7 p.m., at TAMU-Corpus Christi (Natural Resources Center, 6300 Ocean Drive);
- June 13, 7 p.m., at Port Isabel (101 Port Road; actual building is part of Port Isabel High School right on Hwy. 100 between Laguna Heights and Port Isabel.)
For more information, contact Dale Shively, Artificial Reef Coordinator, at (512) 389-4686 or email@example.com or Paul Hammerschmidt, Resource Specialist, at (512) 389-4650 or email@example.com.

Much like rel="canonical" acts a strong hint for duplicate content, you can now use the HTML link elements rel="next" and rel="prev" to indicate the relationship between component URLs in a paginated series. Throughout the web, a paginated series of content may take many shapes—it can be an article divided into several component pages, or a product category with items spread across several pages, or a forum thread divided into a sequence of URLs. Now, if you choose to include rel="next" and rel="prev" markup on the component pages within a series, you're giving Google a strong hint that you'd like us to:
- Consolidate indexing properties, such as links, from the component pages/URLs to the series as a whole (i.e., links should not remain dispersed between page-1.html, page-2.html, etc., but be grouped with the sequence).
- Send users to the most relevant page/URL—typically the first page of the series.
The relationship between component URLs in a series can now be indicated to Google through rel="next" and rel="prev".
There's an exception to the rel="prev" and rel="next" implementation: If, alongside your series of content, you also offer users a view-all page, or if you're considering a view-all page, please see our post on View-all in search results for more information. Because view-all pages are most commonly preferred by searchers, we do our best to surface this version when appropriate in results rather than a component page (component pages are more likely to surface with rel="next" and rel="prev").
If you don't have a view-all page or you'd like to override Google returning a view-all page, you can use rel="next" and rel="prev" as described in this post.
For information on paginated configurations that include a view-all page, please see our post on View-all in search results.
Outlining your options
Here are three options for a series:
- Leave whatever you have exactly as-is. Paginated content exists throughout the web and we'll continue to strive to give searchers the best result, regardless of the page's rel="next"/rel="prev" HTML markup—or lack thereof.
- If you have a view-all page, or are considering a view-all page, see our post on View-all in search results.
- Hint to Google the relationship between the component URLs of your series with rel="next" and rel="prev". This helps us more accurately index your content and serve to users the most relevant page (commonly the first page). Implementation details below.
Implementing rel="next" and rel="prev"
If you prefer option 3 (above) for your site, let's get started! Let's say you have content paginated into the URLs:
On the first page, http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=1, you'd include in the
<head> section:
<link rel="next" href="http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=2" />
On the second page, http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=2:
<link rel="prev" href="http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=1" />
<link rel="next" href="http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=3" />
On the third page, http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=3:
<link rel="prev" href="http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=2" />
<link rel="next" href="http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=4" />
And on the last page, http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=4:
<link rel="prev" href="http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=3" />
A few points to mention:
- The first page only contains rel="next" and no rel="prev" markup.
- Pages two to the second-to-last page should be doubly-linked with both rel="next" and rel="prev" markup.
- The last page only contains markup for rel="prev", not rel="next".
- rel="next" and rel="prev" values can be either relative or absolute URLs (as allowed by the
<link>tag). And, if you include a
<base>link in your document, relative paths will resolve according to the base URL.
- rel="next" and rel="prev" only need to be declared within the
<head>section, not within the document
- We allow rel="previous" as a syntactic variant of rel="prev" links.
- rel="next" and rel="previous" on the one hand and rel="canonical" on the other constitute independent concepts. Both declarations can be included in the same page. For example, http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=2&sessionid=123 may contain:
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=2"/>
<link rel="prev" href="http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=1&sessionid=123" />
<link rel="next" href="http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=3&sessionid=123" />
- rel="prev" and rel="next" act as hints to Google, not absolute directives.
- When implemented incorrectly, such as omitting an expected rel="prev" or rel="next" designation in the series, we'll continue to index the page(s), and rely on our own heuristics to understand your content.

Rose Folder Powell doubted she'd ever get back to her hometown. But even if she did, who would remember her? Bernice Meyer, for one.
Rose Folder Powell doubted she'd ever get back to her hometown. But even if she did, who would remember her?
Bernice Meyer, for one.
Meyer, who is 91 years old, certainly remembered her childhood friend and baseball teammate from the Cabbage Patch on Springfield's south side.
When Meyer, a lifelong city resident, learned the 87-year-old Powell was going to be at the Crowne Plaza on Monday night to be inducted into the Springfield Sports Hall of Fame, Meyer made sure she'd be there, too.
Before the induction banquet, Powell and Meyer sat and reminisced about their childhood days in the 1930s and 40s. They both looked through a photo album full of black-and-white team pictures.
"I didn't know (Meyer) was going to be here; Mom didn't even know she'd be here," said Powell's son, Roger Powell, who brought his mother to Springfield from their home in Carnation, Wash.
"Mom didn't know if there'd be anyone around who'd remember her. This is great."
Meyer never played professional baseball, but Powell did for one season with the Kenosha Comets of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.
Distinguished class
Powell was one of five individual inductees Monday night. The others were longtime area track and cross country coach Mike Johnson; Griffin High School graduate and world-class sailor Joe Londrigan; former Sacred Heart Academy volleyball standout Debbie Urbanckas-Jemison, and former Lanphier basketball standout Ivan Jackson.
** Read profiles of all the inductees **
Jackson was unable to make the trip from his home in New Mexico, so his grandson, Christian Vance, accepted on Jackson's behalf. Stephen Ratterree accepted for his father, Bruce Ratterree, who was inducted posthumously as a Friend of Sport for his role in developing Chamberlain Park.
"I remember dad first brought me up there and I saw the old boiler works," Bruce said of the Chamberlain Park site. "I said, 'Dad, how in the world can this be turned into a baseball park?'
"It was great to just watch the transformation. It was a great project for that area."
Cherished memories
The Hall of Fame banquet often serves as a reunion for old friends, and Powell and Meyer were at the forefront.
They both were pitchers, having learned the craft from A.C. Young, the pastor at Concordia Lutheran School when it was located in their old neighborhood at 13th and Knox. Powell believed Meyer, a 1940 Feitshans graduate, could have played professionally herself.
"She was great," Powell said of Meyer.
"I played ball with Rose at Iles Park," Meyer said. "When we found out Rose was coming tonight, we knew we had to come to this affair."
Powell said getting to see Meyer capped a whirlwind experience for her.
"It's been incredible," Powell said. "I was shocked when I got that letter (about her induction).
"I never thought I'd be back again."
Team honor
Also on hand Monday were six members of this year's Hall of Fame team, the 1985 national runner-up Springfield Spoke Jockeys wheelchair basketball squad. They included player-coach George Veenstra, who entered the Hall individually in 2003.
Veenstra couldn't guarantee it, but he believed the Spoke Jockeys earned a special distinction Monday night.
"I think we're the first wheelchair basketball team to be inducted into any Hall of Fame," Veenstra said. "I've been on the National Wheelchair Basketball Hall of Fame committee for 25 years, and I'd never heard of any team being inducted."
Veenstra is also a member of the NWB Hall of Fame, which has individual inductees, but not teams. Rich Diecker, also an NWB Hall of Famer, played for the 1985 Spoke Jockeys but died in 2004.
Johnson, a 1968 Springfield High graduate, is also a member of the Illinois Track and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame. But he said entering the Springfield Sports Hall of Fame was special because of those who've gone in before him.
One of them, former Springfield High track coach Art Cochran, was there to see Johnson's induction Monday night. Even though track wasn't Johnson's top sport at SHS, he credited Cochran with helping him as a coach later on.
"It means a whole heck of a lot," Johnson said of being inducted. "I was born and raised in Springfield, went to school here and still live here.
"So to be honored with the inductees I see on this list, it's a privilege and an honor. It's kind of like a dream to me. And my family is just as excited as I am."

Port Arthur seeks out targets of tax scam
As previously reported in the pages of this newspaper, a scam targeting seniors and persons receiving disability benefits made its way through Jefferson County in the past few months, with residents of Port Arthur impacted at a significant rate. Those perpetrating the scam duped victims by promising them access to a federal stimulus check, allegedly available to all Social Security recipients, even though no such provision exists. Victims supplied the scammers with copies of their driver's license, Social Security number, and banking information.
In reality, the scammers were using the ill-gotten personal information to file bogus income tax returns in the victims' names, keeping half of the proceeds for a company that uses many monikers including Syam Tax Services. The IRS would then seek repayment of the full amount from the victim.
The number of victims impacted by the scam prompted local authorities to arrange a meeting Sept. 10 at the Bob Bowers Civic Center in Port Arthur. Mayor Bobbie Prince called for the meeting, and the Better Business Bureau of Southeast Texas and the Port Arthur Police Department assisted.
According to Jay Sheppard of the local BBB, the event was an informal gathering to address the needs of potential victims of the scam.
"It is just something we're doing to get those that might have been affected some help, so that they can get paperwork done that they need and to answer any questions they might have at this point," Sheppard said.
Information from the BBB said the meeting was for area residents on Social Security disability that may have been recently affected by income tax return identity theft in Southeast Texas. Officials provided important information on the steps to take for those who have been affected by this form of identity theft.
Port Arthur City Manager Floyd Johnson said the meeting was necessary to "try to prevent the spread of something nefarious and bad throughout our city" that has targeted "those who are the least likely to fight back."
Port Arthur assistant police chief Raymond Clark said city resident Diana Broussard has been identified as a likely perpetrator of this crime, and those who have given her sensitive information should immediately fill out an Identity Theft Affidavit for the IRS, a copy of which is available at the police department and the local BBB.
For more information, contact the Port Arthur Police Department at (409) 983-8600 or the BBB at (409) 835-5348.

As the 2011 American Le Mans Series (ALMS) came to a close at Saturday's 14th annual Petit Le Mans in Atlanta, the series' champions in both the Prototype and GT classes rolled to victory on Dunlop tires.
In the Le Mans Prototype (LMP1) class, the No. 16 Dyson Lola-Mazda dominated the points standings, winning the drivers' championship for Guy Smith and Chris Dyson, the team championship for Dyson Racing and the manufacturer championship for Mazda. Dyson's success also led Dunlop to its first ALMS tire manufacturer championship.
"We really had a great season in 2011. The target was to win all the championships and we've achieved that," said Dyson. "We worked so hard over the winter to develop the tires and the performance and durability kept going up through the roof. We met and raised our opposition at every turn."
In the GT class, the pair of BMW M3 GTs of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing also reigned victorious. A third-place finish in Atlanta was enough to bring home a second-consecutive manufacturer championship for BMW, as well as the drivers' championship for Joey Hand and Dirk Mueller, and the team championship for Team RLL - all on Dunlop tires.
"When you look at where we started in 2009, the progress through 2010 and then where we are in 2011 - coming out of the trailer at every event and being strong - this is a testament to everyone working together: BMW, Team RLL and Dunlop," said Hand. "I've worked with a lot of tire manufacturers and I've never seen the amount of dedication and preparation that I've seen in my time working with Dunlop."
Dunlop has been BMW Team RLL's tire provider since the launch of the M3 GT program in 2009, and the racing tires have been credited for helping the team mature and develop into a consistent performer and winner.
Because most ALMS races are lengthy in laps and overall racing time, the teams switch drivers throughout the competition during pit stops. The tires, especially, must be consistent for long runs, and the Dunlops have been praised by the team for their continuing improvement.
"This has been an incredible season for Dunlop, and we're very proud of the achievements of both Dyson Racing and BMW Team RLL this year," said Jonathan Lee, Dunlop brand general manager. "These championships are a true testimony to the strength of our teamwork and Dunlop's ability to build excellent tires."

Port-Louis- Mauritius (PANA) -- The Institute for Consumer Protection (ICP) in Mauritius Thursday launched a sensitisation campaign on risks related to the consumption of food products based on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).
According to ICP spokesman Mosadeq Sahebdin, the move was part of a global movement against rapid introduction of GMOs with regard to their effects on consumer health, and for the protection of the environment.
Sahebdin said the provisions of the Genetically Modified Organisms Bill currently being discussed by the Mauritian National Assembly were "insufficient".
"It is deplorable that the precautionary principle is not applied to GMOs.
Our position, which is aligned to that of Consumers International, is based on the need to abandon trade practices if there is no certainty that they are harmless to consumer health," Sahebdin explained.
He noted that, "no research has so far proven that GMOs were risk free for consumers".
"Nor is it proven that the introduction of GMOs will increase production.
" Sahebdin insisted on the need for adequate legal framework to enable traceability of food products and ingredients, adding: "We insist on the need to respect the consumers' right to information and choice.
" He also called for a national debate to sensitise consumers and farmers on GMOs.
In addition to public discussions in social and community centres, the ICP was planning campaigns among parliamentarians to generate support for consumers' actions, he disclosed.
"We call on all the forces of the nation to set up a common front to defend the interest of consumers," he stressed.
Eric Mangar, director of the Food Self-Sufficiency Movement, said consumers should be given clear information on GMO imports to Mauritius, "as is the case in European countries where it is binding on producers to mention GMOs in food labels.

Inside the Kitchen Cure: Cleaning the Fridge and Freezer
I started on the Kitchen Cure this past weekend with a thorough clean-out of the fridge. (See the Week 1 Kitchen Cure assignment here.) This was not the most fun of tasks. No, decidedly not. Especially after I'd emptied the contents of the fridge and stood staring in disbelief at the amount of grit and gunk coating the bare shelves. But once I scrubbed and wiped, the ultimate sensation was extreme satisfaction.
THE FREEZER: 15 Minutes
I started with the freezer, subconsciously knowing this would be the easier task. I took everything out, wiped the shelves clean and re-arranged everything back inside. Done and done.
I try to keep zones in my freezer: ready-to-eat meals, quick meal components (like a cup of leftover pilaf or frozen pasta), fruits and vegetables, and meats. But this system gradually breaks down when one zone gets over-crowded or I'm in a rush. I'm afraid my before and after pictures probably look very similar, but this is actually much more organized than it was before!
• Sacrificed – Two tubs not-very-good ice cream (as evidenced by the fact that they remained uneaten months later) and one bag of freezer-burned mystery meat.
• Saved! – I found several bags of peas and nuts that for some reason were all open. I consolidated like substances and did away with a lot of clutter. I also discovered a pound of local sausage that had gotten completely lost in the back.
• Kitchn Cure Ideas – Find some some plastic caddies to keep the foods separate and organized. I think this would help keep all my little plastic bags from migrating and also make sure nothing gets lost in the back.
THE FRIDGE: 45 Minutes
This was a bit of a beast. At first, I thought to go shelf by shelf, but I finally just decided to take everything out, clean, and then reorganize. And that's what I did.
Glass cleaner worked best on my shelves, though I went back over the plastic molding with regular all-purpose cleaner. Getting the tiny pieces of who-knows-what out of the cracks and crevasses was annoying in the extreme, but I got it all in the end.
Maybe this is obvious, but remember that those shelves can come out. It might seem easier to clean them in the fridge, but I found it to be far less back-breaking to just take them out, wipe them over the sink, and put them back again. Sparkly!
Also, remember Sara Kate's tip to wipe down the condiment bottles before putting them back in your pristine fridge. I was tired and almost skipped this step, but it really just takes a couple swipes with a warm rag and the sticky gunk is gone.
• Sacrificed – Two sad spring onions, a container of mystery sauce, and a bottle of not-very-good salad dressing that I bought before I realized how easy it is to make your own.
• Saved! – I found a lonely, but still good, lemon under a few bags of apricots. Cocktails tonight!
• Kitchn Cure Ideas – I definitely need to wipe down all the shelves more often. With all the food in there, I think it's easy to miss how grungy they're becoming. I also want to try to keep a space specifically for leftovers on the top shelf on the theory that if my husband and I can see it, we'll eat it. We do pretty well with big containers of leftovers, but often forget about that one last serving of soup. This would help.
That's enough for one day. Tomorrow I'll attack the pantry. And I have a feeling "attack" is exactly the attitude I'm going to need.
How is your Kitchen Cure going?

Step by step, Peralta working on his range
Tigers shortstop correcting technique this spring with help from infield coach
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Jhonny Peralta's slimmed-down physique is expected to be the key to getting some of his range back at shortstop. To infield coach Rafael Belliard, it's the first step.
The next step actually is the first step, the one he takes before the ball is even hit.
It's a step that Belliard has been wanting to work with Peralta on correcting since he joined the Tigers, and actually did briefly a couple springs ago. This Spring Training, as Peralta begins his contract year, is his best chance.
Physically, Belliard has been limited after his surgery Jan. 31 to remove tumors from his prostate. He hasn't been hitting ground balls with the fungo bat, and until recently, he hadn't been throwing. His early work in the field with Peralta consisted of rolling ground balls to him and forcing him to range.
He has still been able to teach the instinctive side of the game. He can work with Peralta on positioning, on knowing the pitcher in front of him and reading the start of a hitter's swing to anticipate where it's going to direct the ball.
And he can work with Peralta on his first step.
"The first step is usually the most important step for an infielder," manager Jim Leyland said.
To Belliard, it's bigger for a shortstop than anybody else.
"It's very important," Belliard said, "because the shortstop has to cover a lot of grass. If you see every game, there's more balls hit to short than anybody else."
For Peralta, that first step has always taken him in toward the batter. It's how he learned to play the position, how he became comfortable. When he's moving on the pitch, he feels like he can react quicker.
"When I do that, I feel like I'm more mobile," Peralta said Wednesday. "For a lot of people, it's different. Some people stop and watch, then they move. Me, I need to start moving."
Statistically, Peralta could point to defensive metrics and say he has held his own. His Ultimate Zone Rating, a metric which measures how well a players fields and gets outs on balls hit into his "zone," ranked fourth among all Major League shortstops last year, ahead of Elvis Andrus and trailing only Brendan Ryan, Clint Barmes and J.J. Hardy.
His Range Factor, which measures putouts and assists per nine innings, ranked 10th out of 11 American League shortstops with regular playing time. Only Derek Jeter ranked lower.
In this case, scouts would side with the latter. Peralta wouldn't put up a major argument, either.
He takes a lot of pride in his play at shortstop, and he would surely like to prove some doubters wrong. In so doing, though, he wants to improve his range, in particular toward the middle.
"Last year, a ground ball to the middle, for me, it was harder to that side," Peralta said. "So that's what I've tried to work on this year."
To some, that might be a surprise, because Peralta had to transition last year from having Brandon Inge to his right to Miguel Cabrera. However, Peralta felt comfortable making plays in the hole when he had to. His first step wasn't as much of a hindrance.
Toward the middle, it was different. It cut off his reaction time on harder-hit balls.
It was actually something Belliard noticed before last year. Last spring, however, the focus was on Cabrera's transition to third base and Prince Fielder's arrival at first.
"This year, we've got more time to work," Belliard said.
Once Belliard can start doing his normal activities again, they'll have more of an opportunity.
Peralta hasn't been tested much so far in the Grapefruit League schedule. They aren't deep enough into the schedule that he'd be building up innings, and a sloppy, wet infield Monday against the Astros wasn't much help. Peralta expects that to change.
So far, at least, he feels lighter and more agile.
"There's not a lot of ground balls to the side yet, but I feel good in the field," Peralta said.
That's a start. The first step is the next step.

The have different meanings. To spot them, look for the punctuation:
I would like to know what is that, that distinguishes the relative clauses to non- defining and defining. Is it the clause itself or the verb of it?
The have different meanings. To spot them, look for the punctuation:
Hello PiP
A defining 'that/which' precedes a clause that limits the meaning of a noun.
A non-defining 'that/which' precedes a clause that gives additional information about a noun or another clause.
For example:
1. 'He doesn't like the hat that you were wearing on Sunday.'
Here, the underlined clause limits the meaning of 'hat' to 'Sunday's hat'.
We therefore learn only one fact: 'he doesn't like your Sunday hat'.
2. 'He doesn't like pizza, which is quite unusual these days.'
Here, the underlined clause gives further information about the fact that he doesn't like pizza.
We therefore learn two facts:
a) He doesn't like pizza;
b) Not to like pizza is unusual.
