1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to providing integrated circuits ("ICs") with better broadband low impedance power feed than is possible with conventional IC bypass capacitor placement, and more particularly for effectiveness of bypass capacitors used with land grid array ("LGA") or pin grid array ("PGA") packaged high pin density ICs.
2. Related Art
Integrated circuits commonly include a number of metal-oxide-semiconductor ("MOS") transistors, bipolar transistors, diodes and/or other devices fabricated on a semiconductor substrate die that may ultimately be encapsulated within a protective package. Some nodes within the IC require external power supply voltages, ground, and signal connections. Such nodes are coupled within the encapsulation to IC pads to which with solder balls, pads, or the like may be attached. In this fashion, externally provided voltages and signals are coupled to the IC.
FIG. 1, for example, depicts a socketed assembly 10 that includes an IC 20 with associated solder balls 30-1, 30-2 . . . 30-10 mounted on a land grid array ("LGA") package 40, typically ceramic or a plastic material, depending upon ambient temperature specifications. The invention described later herein is also suitable for pin grid array ("PGA") packages and as used herein, the term LGA will be understood to also include PGA.
The upper surface 50 of LGA package 40 will define a number of component conductive pads 60-1, . . . 60-10 that make electrical connection to the IC package solder balls when IC 20 is mounted to the LGA package, e.g., by soldering. Within LGA package 40 conductive planes are formed such as Vcc plane 70 used to carry operating potential Vcc, and Vss plane 80 used to carry a reference potential Vss that is often ground. LGA package 40 may include more than two conductive planes 70, 80 and typically will have a thickness (measured between surfaces 50 and 110) in the range of perhaps 1 mm to 6 mm. The length and width of the LGA package may be 50 mm�50 mm or larger.
Vertically formed electrically conductive vias such as 90-1, 90-4, 90-5, 90-10 are formed within package 40. These vias permit chosen component conductive pads 60-1, 60-4, 60-5, 60-10 on surface 50 of LGA 40 to make desired electrical connection to Vcc plane 70, or Vss plane 80, and/or LGA mounting pads 100-1, 100-4, 100-5, 100-10 on lower surface 110 of LGA 40. The fabrication of such vias is well known in the relevant art, and will not be described herein.
In FIG. 1A, solder balls 30-1 and 30-10 are coupled internally to nodes formed on IC 20 carrying input or output signals. Solder balls 30-1 and 30-10 make electrical connection to conductive pads 60-1 and 60-10 on the upper surface of the LGA package. In turn, these conductive pads make electrical contact respectively with vias 90-1 and 90-10 to respective LGA mounting pads 100-1 and 100-10 on the lower surface of the LGA package. Because vias 90-1 and 90-10 carry input or output signals, these vias pass through openings in planes 70 and 80 without making electrical contact to either plane.
Solder balls 30-4 and 30-5 are electrically coupled internally to nodes on IC 20 that require Vcc-and Vss potential, respectively. Thus, solder balls 30-4 and 30-5 are respectively electrically coupled to conductive pads 60-4 and 60-5 on the upper surface of the LGA package. Pad 60-4 is electrically coupled to Vcc plane 70 (but not to Vss plane 80) with via 90-4 and to LGA mounting pad 100-4 on the lower surface 110 of the LGA package. Similarly pad 60-5 is electrically coupled to Vss plane 80 (but not to Vcc plane 70) with via 90-5 and to LGA mounting pad 100-5 on the lower surface of the LGA package.
In use, LGA package 40 is inserted into an LGA socket 120 that is mounted to a motherboard or other substrate 130 that provides IC 20 with Vcc, Vss, and input and output signal access through socket contacts 140-1, 140-4, 140-5, 140-10. Socket 120 commonly is shaped as a rectangular or square frame with socket contacts including 140-1, 140-2, etc. located on the socket periphery. As such, a square or rectangular opening (or at least a recess) 150 is defined in the lower central portion of the socket.
In practice, IC 20 may include circuitry requiring relatively noise-free potential at Vcc and Vss component conductive pads 60-4, 60-5 for reliable IC operation. By noise-free, it is meant that ideally signals at these pads should be pure DC, with essentially no AC transient components or crosstalk-coupled components. Some Ics are notorious for generating electrical noise. For example, high speed digital ICs exhibit rapid voltage and current transitions that can produce unwanted current surges and voltage spikes at the Vcc and Vss component conductive pads.
It is known in the art to reduce such noise on Vcc and Vss component conductive pads by coupling one or more bypass capacitors in shunt with these pads. Thus, in
FIG. 1, it is common to dispose one or more bypass capacitors 160, 170 on upper surface 50 of LGA 40. The capacitors make electrical connection through solder balls (or the like) 30-20, 30-21, 30-22, 30-23 to capacitor component conductive pads 60-20, 60-21, and 60-22, and 60-23, and then through vias 90-20, 90-21, and 90-22, 90-23 to the Vcc plane 70 and the Vss plane 80 respectively. Ideally, each capacitor represents a low shunt impedance to high frequency transients, while representing a high shunt impedance to DC voltages.
Bypass capacitors 160, 170 may be in the 0.1 μF range, depending upon the noise susceptibility characteristics of the IC(s) being bypassed. Typical dimensions for a conventional off-the-shelf 0.1 μF bypass capacitor are in the range of perhaps 6 mm�3 mm surface area, by 0.8 mm height.
Unfortunately, the mounting configuration for bypass capacitors 160, 170 shown in FIG. 1 is less than optimum to provide substantially noise-free signals for IC 20 at component conductive pads 60-4, 60-5. Simply stated, the horizontal and lateral electrical path lengths between the capacitors and the nodes being bypassed are too long, with the result that the effective (undesired) parasitic series inductance (Leff) is too large. Consider the path length from capacitor 160 to component conductive pad 60-4. The height of via 90-22 may be a few mm, the lateral separation of via 90-22 from via 90-5 may be 30 mm, and the distance along via 90-5 upward to pad 60-5 will be a few mm, a total distance of perhaps 35 mm or more.
As shown in FIG. 1B, effective bypassing is compounded by the fact that at high frequencies, the Vcc, Vss conductive paths, e.g., 70, 80, may themselves be equivalent to a distributed series of series-coupled parasitic resistor (R) and inductor (L) combinations with parasitic capacitance shunts (C) at the equivalent coupling nodes. Further, the various bypass capacitors, e.g., 160, 170, have parasitic resistance Rs and inductance Ls coupled in series with the capacitor leads. In FIG. 1B, the connection linkage path from IC 20 to bypass capacitor 160 (or 170) is shown with bold lines for emphasis. It will be appreciated that at high currents and/or high frequencies, L1, R1, C1, L2, R2, C2 in the linkage paths, as well as Rs and Ls can degrade the effectiveness of the bypass capacitor 160 or 170. A more detailed discussion of circuit models of parasitic components that can affect capacitor bypassing may be found in the treatise Digital Systems Engineering by W. J. Dally and J. W. Poulton, published by Cambridge University Press, especially portions of Chapter 5 therein.
The relatively long linkage path length between the bypass capacitor and an IC node to be bypassed, shown with bold lines in FIG. 1B, contributes to the overall effective parasitic inductance (Leff), resistance (Reff), and associated shunt capacitance (Cshunt) seen by bypass capacitor 160 or 170. A non-zero value of Leff undesireably increases the magnitude of current-induced voltage spikes (E), often termed "ground bounce", according to the relationship:
It is further seen from equation (1) that the magnitude of δi/δt increases with higher switching speeds (e.g., smaller δt) associated with digital ICs. In general, increasing the effective value C of a bypass capacitor (e.g., 160, 170 in FIG. 1) preferably is accomplished by parallel-coupling a number of smaller valued capacitors. This configuration parallel-couples the series inductance associated with each of these capacitors, and the result is a more effective bypass than if a single larger value C were used. Ideally, the nominal impedance (Z) of a bypass capacitor (C) would vary inversely with frequency (ω) according to the relationship:
Unfortunately, real capacitors have associated with them a series inductance and a series resistance. The effective impedance presented by a real capacitor can never be less than its series resistance. But at high frequencies, the Vcc and Vss planes can act as radial transmission lines. The result is that a higher than ideal impedance is presented for each bypass capacitor, due to an upward transformation by these planes, as seen from the connector power and ground pins on the die of IC 20. From equation (3) it is evident that this upward transformation is tantamount to a reduction in the effectiveness of bypass capacitor C.
Associated with a given capacitor C will be a self resonant frequency ωO given by:
where Leff is effective inductance seen by the bypass capacitor. The significance of equation (4) is that effective bypassing occurs in a frequency band in which the combination of Leff and C has an impedance that is substantially less than the effective series resistance (ESR). However, it will be appreciated from the foregoing that Leff decreases self-resonant frequency ωO, This is inapposite to the design goal of producing a broadband bypass power feed, characterized by a broadband low impedance and a high ωO, since above the self-resonant frequency, effective capacitor bypassing simply does hot occur.
From equations (1) and (2) it will be appreciated that more effective bypassing could result from mounting one or more bypass capacitors on the IC itself. Indeed U.S. Pat. No. 5,629,240 (1997) to Malladi et al. discloses a method for directly attaching a bypass capacitor to the IC itself, thus substantially reducing the path length of the connecting linkages (L1, R1, C1, L2, R2, C2), and thus reducing Leff. Chip package constraints limit the magnitude of Malladi's on-chip bypass capacitor to perhaps 100 nF. However, the Malladi patent highlights the need to reduce series inductance in providing an effective bypass capacitor. For purposes of the present invention, IC 20 cannot be modified to include a Malladi-type direct attachment of a bypass capacitor to IC 20.
In short, there is a need for a more effective technique for mounting a bypass capacitor for use with a socket-mounted LGA package (or a PGA package). Preferably such mounting should be useable with conventional off-the-shelf bypass capacitors, and should be implemented using standard LGA fabrication and mounting processes. The mounting should improve the impedance characteristics of the linkage paths between the bypass capacitor and the IC nodes to be bypassed, especially by reducing the effective series inductance seen by the bypass capacitor. Further, effective series inductance is reduced by disposing connecting vias and pads that effectively spread the current carried by the multiple source and return vias by minimizing the current loop area, which is to say, to reduce the energy stored in the effective inductance magnetic field. The resultant LGA mounted IC should see a lower impedance broadband power feed than would be available using prior art bypass capacitor mounting methods.
The present invention provides such mounting of bypass capacitors.
Switching and other transient noise appearing at component mounting pads on an LGA (or PGA) packaged IC are reduced by mounting one or more bypass capacitors beneath the package. The LGA package with bypass capacitors so attached plugs into an LGA (or equivalent) socket, such that the capacitors are disposed within the socket recess or opening. The LGA package includes at least a Vcc plane and a Vss plane. IC nodes to be bypassed are coupled with vias to an underlying bypass capacitor attached to the LGA package lower surface. Because a bypass capacitor may now be disposed beneath the IC to be bypassed, there are substantially no horizontal components in the linkage lead paths between a bypass capacitor and the IC nodes to be bypassed. The capacitor-coupling vias and pads that carry current effectively minimize the current loop area, which is equivalent to reducing the energy stored in the magnetic field of the effective inductance. Since stored energy is proportional to Leff, the result decreases Leff, which increases the capacitor self-resonance frequency. The resultant lower bypass impedance is characterized by a broader band low impedance power feed at the IC than would be possible using conventional above-LGA package bypass capacitor mounting techniques.
Electrical connections between the IC Vcc and Vss pads and a sub-LGA package mounted bypass capacitor are made with spaced-apart first and second vias. The horizontal distance between the vias corresponds to the spaced-apart distance between first and second electrical contacts on the bypass capacitor. Thus, the first via couples one capacitor contact to the Vcc plane and to at least one IC Vcc component mounting pad. Similarly, the second via couples the second capacitor contact to the Vss plane and to at least one IC Vss component mounting pad. Because the bypass capacitor may be disposed beneath the IC, total path length from the IC to the bypass capacitor is essentially the vertical height of the connecting via, lateral path lengths are eliminated. Where necessary, a preferably sub-mm offset in a via may be provided, to accommodate spacing between electrical contacts on the bypass capacitor.
Multiple bypass capacitors may be used to bypass a common IC node, and multiple vias may be used for each capacitor connection. Conventional off-the-shelf bypass capacitors may be used, including capacitors used to bypass an IC chip that has an attached connector. Where necessary, the LGA socket may be modified to accommodate excessively thick bypass capacitors by deepening any recess.
Other features and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description in which the preferred embodiments have been set forth in detail, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1A is a cross-sectional view of an LGA-packaged IC with bypass capacitors mounted above the LGA package, according to the prior art;
FIG. 1B is a model depicting distributed parasitic components that can affect capacitor bypassing;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of an LGA-packaged IC with a bypass capacitor mounted beneath the LGA package, according to the present invention;
FIG. 3A is a bottom view of an LGA package showing multiple mounting pads to accommodate multiple connections on a bypass capacitor and/or mounting multiple bypass capacitors, according to the present invention;
FIG. 3B is a bottom view of an LGA package showing attachment of multiple bypass capacitors, according to the present invention; and
FIG. 4 is a bottom view of an LGA package showing attachment of multiple bypass capacitors, according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 depicts a socketed assembly 10′ showing a cross-section of an LGA package 40 (or PGA type package) for an IC 20, which package and IC (or ICs) may be identical to what has been described in FIG. 1A. Unless otherwise noted, elements in FIGS. 2-4 bearing the same reference numerals used in FIG. 1A may be identical elements. Thus, package 40 will include at least a Vcc plane 70 that will carry operating potential Vcc, and a Vss plane 80 that will carry a reference potential Vss that may be ground.
As in FIG. 1A, vertically formed electrically conductive vias such as 90-1 and 90-10 carry signals that are not coupled to Vcc or to Vss. Relevant to the present invention, vias 90-4 and 90-5 are respectively coupled to Vcc plane 70 and to Vss plane 80. Vias 90-4 and 90-5 are also coupled to respective component conductive pads such as 60-4 and 60-5 that will conduct Vcc and Vss potential to nodes within IC 20.
Vcc plane 70 may be formed with an opening through which via 90-4 is formed and is then electrically coupled to plane 70 adjacent such opening. In similar fashion, Vss plane 80 may be formed with an opening through which via 90-5 is formed and is then electrically coupled to plane 80 adjacent such opening. An alternative formation would be to form portions of via 90-4 above and below plane 70, and portions of via 90-5 above and below plane 80. In this configuration, the plane-facing regions of these respective via portions would be electrically coupled to the respective plane 70 or plane 80.
According to the present invention, vias 90-4, 90-5 and LGA mounting pads 100-4, 100-5 are spaced-apart a predetermined lateral distance ΔX. Distance ΔX is selected to equal the nominal spaced-apart distance between solderballs or connections 180-4, 180-5 associated with bypass capacitor 190. As shown by the slightly transposed via portion 90′-5 extending beneath plane 70, a small lateral offset (typically <2 mm) within in a via may be provided, the better to accommodate distance ΔX if there is a mismatch between pitch spacing associated with IC pads and pad spacing with respect to the capacitor connections. By slight or small lateral offset, it is meant that δX<1 mm , and preferably <0.5 mm or so. However, if with such small lateral offsets, it will be appreciated that there is substantially no horizontal path lengths associated with capacitor connections.
In contrast to what was shown in FIG. 1A, in the present invention one or more bypass capacitors 190 are disposed beneath LGA-packaged IC 20, in a cavity, e.g., in what would otherwise be wasted space. So mounted, the capacitors are substantially directly beneath IC 20, within opening (or if present, recess) 150 in socket LGA 120. In terms of physical sizes and capacitance values, capacitor 190 may be identical to capacitor 160 or capacitor 170, as shown in FIG. 1A.
In practice, the vertical height of capacitor(s) 190 can readily be as large as the vertical depth of the body of LGA socket 120, a dimension of about 0.040″0 or about 1 mm for high performance sockets such as the Cin Apse sockets manufactured by Cinch, Inc. of Illinois. However when required, thicker capacitors may be accommodated by modifying the socket to increase the effective socket vertical depth ("D", see FIG. 2). The effective vertical depth D may be increase by removing any shelf portion of the socket that would otherwise underlie the bypass capacitor, to completely expose opening 150.
In some applications, if necessary, the lower surface of LGA socket 120 could intentionally be elevated 1 mm or so above the surface of substrate 130 with mounting washers 195. Washers 195 (or the like) would provide even greater vertical clearance between lower surface 200 of socket 120 and the upper surface of the underlying substrate 130. More preferably, the thickness of socket 120 would be increased.
The ability to dispose bypass capacitors substantially directly beneath IC 20 substantially eliminates lateral components from the electrical path between the bypass capacitor and the nodes to be bypassed. Thus, the path length between capacitor 190 and component conductive pads 60-4, 60-5 is essentially the vertical height of vias 90-4 or 90-5, a length of perhaps 1 mm to perhaps 6 mm, depending upon the thickness of LGA 40. Thus, beneficially absent from the configuration of FIG. 2 are the relatively long lateral runs required in prior art FIG. 1A to couple a bypass capacitor to the relevant component conductive pads 60-4, 60-5.
As a result, path lengths for below-LGA package (or sub-LGA package) mounted bypass capacitors may be reduced by from perhaps 50% to several hundred percent compared with conventional above-LGA package mounted capacitors.
The present invention effectively and advantageously disposes pads and vias that will be coupled to the bypass capacitor such that the electrical current is spread so that the current loop area is reduced. This in turn reduces the effective energy stored in the magnetic field surrounding the current path, which effectively reduces Leff (which is proportional to the stored energy).
The reduced linkage paths between IC nodes to be bypassed and the bypass capacitor thus substantially reduces the magnitude of Leff, to achieve lower impedance bypassing over a broad frequency band. It is seen from equation (1) that at Leff decreases, voltage spikes E decrease, which means effective bypassing is enhanced. High frequency switching noise within IC 20 is now more effectively bypassed, relative to the performance of the prior art configuration of FIG. 1.
A given level of bypass performance is achieved with a smaller value below-LGA mounted bypass capacitor as shown in FIG. 2 than is attained with prior art above-LGA package mounting, as shown in FIG. 1A. Alternatively, the same magnitude bypass capacitor mounted below an LGA-package as shown in FIG. 2 will provide substantially better bypass performance than if mounted above the LGA package, as shown in FIG. 1A.
Generally capacitor 190 is attached to LGA mounting pads 100-4, 100-5 by applying heat. Solderballs 180-4, 180-5 melt, and electrically connect and attach capacitor 190 to the LGA mounting pads. In some applications, solderballs 180-4, 180-5 may be replaced with dabs of conductive adhesive, conductive epoxy for example. Mechanical attachment of the bypass capacitors may be augmented by the addition of a layer of adhesive between the bypass capacitors and the facing surface of the LGA package. Of course the present invention could also be practiced with IC chip packages that have an attached connector.
It will be appreciated that more than one bypass capacitor 190 may be used to provide bypassing for a pair of nodes within IC 20. It is common practice to use parallel-coupled bypass capacitors of different capacitances, each capacitor having a different self-resonant frequency. The resultant plurality of parallel-coupled bypass capacitors can present a broader band of frequencies over which low impedance is provided, than if a single larger capacitance bypass capacitor were used. For example, perhaps it is determined that effectively capacitor 190 should be 0.122 μF. From the perspective of FIG. 2, it will be appreciated that additional capacitors may be disposed "behind" capacitor 190, with the first capacitor connections coupled in parallel, and with the second capacitor connections coupled in parallel, and so on. For example, if 0.122 μF is required to bypass component conductive pads 60-4, 6-5, this magnitude of bypassing can be achieved by making capacitor 190 0.1 μF, and by mounting an additional 0.022 μF capacitor 190-1 "behind" capacitor 190. Both 0.1 μF and 0.022 μF are standard values for off-the-shelf (e.g., non-customized) capacitors.
Such mounting of additional capacitors is best seen with references to FIGS. 3A, 3B and 4. FIG. 3A shows a bottom view of LGA package 40 in which a plurality of first vias 90-4, 90-4A, . . . 90-4D is formed, as well as a plurality of second vias 90-5, 90-5A, . . . 90-5E. It is understood that the opposite end of each first via is coupled to Vcc plane 70 and to at least one IC Vcc node, and that the opposite end of each second via is coupled to the Vss plane 80 and to at least one IC Vss node.
Although FIG. 3A depicts formation of five pairs of vias, it is understood that a greater or smaller number of vias may be formed, and that the locus of similar first or second vias need not be in a single line. It is also understood that the vias need not align in a line as shown. For example, so-called interdigitated contact capacitors seek to lower effective inductance by cancelling electromagnetic fields by alternative positive and negative capacitor connector locations. Such capacitors are available commercially from AVX, Inc. Electrical connections to such capacitors need not be in a straight line, as shown in FIG. 3A.
As shown in FIG. 3A, preferably dedicated mounting pads, e.g., 100-4, 100-4A, . . . 100-4D, 100-5, 100-5A, . . . 100-5D are provided for the various first or second vias, although less favorably, common mounting pads for the first vias and for the second vias could be used in some applications.
Although FIG. 3A depicts a bottom view, it is to be understood that the various pads 100-4, 100-4A . . . 100-4D, 100-5, 100-5A, . . . 100-5D could in fact be formed at the upper surface 50 of LGA package 40. Adopting the nomenclature of FIG. 2, if formed at upper surface 50, such pads would be denoted conductive pads 60-4, 60-4A, . . . 60-4D, 60-5, 60-5A, . . . 60-5D, etc. Accordingly, FIG. 3A is understood to depict such alternative pads as well. of course, upper surface pads 60-4 (superimposed in FIG. 3A on 100-4,), 60-4A (100-4A), etc., 60-5 (superimposed in FIG. 3A on 100-5), 60-5A, etc. and the lower surface pads 100-4 . . . 100-5D may preferably be formed in the same LGA package. Multiple pads may be formed at the upper and lower surfaces of an LGA package can further help reduce effective series inductance Leff, to help achieve a lower impedance high frequency bypass.
FIG. 3B depicts a bottom view of LGA package 40. FIG. 3B depicts a configuration in which bypass capacitor 190 is coupled between vias 90-4, 90-4A, 90-4B and vias 90-5, 90-5A, and 90-5B. Similarly, a second capacitor 190-1 is shown coupled between vias 90-4C and 90-4D, and vias 90-5C and 90-5D. Although not necessarily a preferred configuration, FIG. 3B depicts common elongated pads 100-4 and 100-5 associated with capacitor 190, and common elongated pads 100-4A and 100-5A associated with capacitor 190-1. In this configuration, capacitor 190 may be 0.1 μF, while capacitor 190-1 would be 0.022 μF, to provide a combined effective 0.122 μF bypass capacitor.
FIG. 4 is a bottom view of LGA socket 120, showing the lower socket surface 200, opening 180 through which lower surface 110 of LGA package 40 is visible. FIG. 4 shows a plurality of bypass capacitors 190, 190-1, . . . 190-N attached to conductive vias at the lower surface of LGA package 40, according to the present invention. Also seen in FIG. 4 is a grid-like array of socket pads 205. Various of these pads couple signals to or from IC 20 (or multiple ICs mounted on LGA package 40) to substrate 130, as well as Vcc and Vss potentials. Although FIG. 4 depicts a symmetrical array of equally sized bypass capacitors, it is understood that the bypass capacitors may have different dimensions and need not be arranged in a symmetrical configuration. It is also understood, that FIG. 4 generally may depict a LGA or a PGA configuration.
From the foregoing description it will be appreciated that the present invention enables mounting of generic off-the-shelf capacitors. Because the capacitors are mounted substantially directly beneath the IC nodes to be bypassed, in otherwise unused space, there is substantially no horizontal component to the electrical path length between the capacitor connections and the IC nodes to be bypassed. The result is a lower effective series parasitic inductance Leff, which decreases effective bypass impedance.

The rule view currently triggers it's editor whenever e.g. a name or value node receives focus. This method has it's shortcomings as evidenced by mousing down to start selecting text.
We should change this so that the property editor is not triggered when mousing down to select text. Not sure how this is best done ... maybe using mouseup instead of focus to trigger editing?
Would it be possible to listen to "click", and stop the event if the selection start (onmousemove + selection non-empty)?
Created attachment 626640 [details] [diff] [review]
The attached patch makes a few changes:
a) Editors are only started on click, not focus events. We still use focus management to move between fields, but initial triggering of the editor is only done with a click. This keeps keynav working well.
b) The editor explicitly takes care of its commit handler etc. while handling events. Before this patch it would cause blurs and rely on blur handlers to apply things asynchronously.
c) As a result of these changes, we were able to get rid of a few hacks (_selectionMode and the focus backstop crud).
d) Selection now works from anywhere (before this patch, you can't start a selection inside a property name).
Comment on attachment 626640 [details] [diff] [review]
Awesome, especially because it gets rid of a gazillion ugly hacks at the same time as making the editor more accessible and maintainable.
100% f+ from me.
I see a cursor now: http://i.imgur.com/RnZEk.png
STR: click on a property name to bring the editor. Press ESC, then down.

About the "ugly workaround". I am not sure this is really useful, as the dotted line is visible just for a very short instant (but I'm ok with this).
r+ if you can fix the cursor.
Created attachment 628491 [details] [diff] [review]
This patch changed just enough that I'm going to reask for review:
* Fixed the caret problem by focusing the span after the editor is cancelled.
* Refactored some tests a little bit.
Comment on attachment 628491 [details] [diff] [review]
It works. And it feels solid.

Critical Realism, Post-Positivism and the Possibility of Knowledge by Ruth Groff
Book DescriptionGroff defends 'realism about causality' through close discussions of Kant, Hilary Putnam, Brian Ellis and Charles Taylor, among others. In so doing she affirms critical realism, but with several important qualifications. In particular, she rejects the theory of truth advanced by Roy Bhaskar. She also attempts to both clarify and correct earlier critical realist attempts to apply realism about causality to the social sciences. By connecting issues in metaphysics and philosophy of science to the problem of relativism, Groff bridges the gap between the philosophical literature and broader debates surrounding socio-political theory and poststructuralist thought. This unique approach will make the book of interest to philosophers and socio-political theorists alike.

There are several ways to examine the breast to discover lumps.
Women detect most lumps in their breasts themselves by performing breast self exams (BSE). Performing regular self exams will familiarize you with how your breasts feel normally so you will be able to more easily recognize changes.» Breast Self Examination
Sometimes women with a higher risk of developing breast cancer may benefit from more intensive screening. Examples of higher risk would include women who carry a strong genetic predisposition to breast cancer, such as carriers of a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, or women with dense breasts (making mammography difficult), who have a first degree relative with breast cancer. Breast MRI may be offered to such women in addition to annual mammography to decrease the risk of interval breast cancers.
Breast MRI is a very sensitive imaging study and may further help to find cancer at the earliest, most curable stages in these high risk women. Because its findings are less specific, breast MRI may find lesions defined as potentially suspicious, but which prove to be benign. Therefore, it is not a screening devise for the "average risk" woman in the general population.» Breast MRI
After heart disease and lung cancer, breast cancer kills more women than any other disease. This year, it will claim about 40,000 lives. The key to surviving breast cancer is early detection and the only way to ensure early detection is to see a doctor regularly, and follow guidelines established by the American Cancer Society and National Cancer Institute for mammography screening.

Paul McCartney Hints at Ringo Starr Joining Him On Stage
Paul McCartney hinted that his former Beatles bandmate might sit in with him on stage at L.A.'s Dodger Stadium.
Paul McCartney hinted that his former Beatles bandmate might sit in with him on stage at L.A.'s Dodger Stadium.
Two of the biggest rock stars of the '70s filming a comedy inspired by the legend of Dracula. What could go wrong?
Kenny Wayne Shepherd has invited along a slew of classic rock legends -- including Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh and Warren Haynes -- as the guitarist revisits iconic blues material on his forthcoming new album.
As we head towards the midpoint of only the second month of 2014, it's already been a busy year for Kenny Aronoff. The legendary drummer is probably best known for his career-defining work behind the kit for John Mellencamp in the '80s and '90s, which was followed by a similarly lengthy stint as the drummer for another famous John -- former Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman John Fogerty-- a highly successful relationship that remains intact to this day.
Fifty years ago this week, the legendary band known as The Beatles hit the U.S. like a hurricane on the "Sullivan Show!"
History was made, and it was never forgotten.
Now Ringo Starr, a member of The Beatles, is going to head out on tour with his All Star Band. He is making a stop in Michigan at DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston on June 27!
Despite a two-hour parade of musical tributes featuring the biggest names from every genre of modern popular music, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney effortlessly stole the show at 'The Beatles: The Night That Changed America.'
I don't know if you've been catching "The Late Show with David Letterman" on CBS-TV this week, but it has been marking the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' arrival in the U.S. by having musicians perform Fab Four songs all week.
Beatles fans were thrilled to see Ringo Starr reunite with Paul McCartney at the Grammys on Jan. 26, but when the former Beatle hits the road this summer, he'll be getting by with a more recent set of friends.
On Feb. 9, CBS will air 'The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to the Beatles' to commemorate -- to the hour -- the 50th anniversary of their debut appearance on the 'Ed Sullivan Show.' Last night (Jan. 27), the program was taped in Los Angeles, with the two surviving members of the group playing together to mark the occasion.
The Recording Academy is going all out to honor the Beatles at this year's Grammy Awards, honoring the band with a Lifetime Achievement Award and helping round up an all-star cast of performers to commemorate their groundbreaking 1964 appearance on 'The Ed Sullivan Show,' and it's all got Ringo Starr in a rather nostalgic mood.

The Family Naturopathic Clinic
A Naturopathic Teaching Clinic Serving Young Families
The Clinic
The Family Naturopathic Clinic is a joint project of Acacia Integrative Health, The FNC Society, Dr. Amy Gilchrist ND, Dr. Kristin Schnurr ND, and The Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine. The only clinic of its kind in Canada, The Family Naturopathic Clinic provides Naturopathic health care free-of-charge to young parented, low income families here in Victoria.
Starting as a pilot project by Dr. Gilchrist in the spring of 2007, The Family Naturopathic Clinic has become a huge success both in utilization by the target population (it has been fully booked since inception) and in outcomes for patients and their families. In the summer of 2009, Acacia, Dr. Gilchrist and Dr. Schurr partnered with the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine with the intention of expanding access in order to serve a long wait-list of clients. What developed was a partnership, where 4th year Naturopathic Interns come to Acacia to deliver care, supervised by a licensed ND. This provides these upcoming doctors with valuable clinical experience, while effectively tripling the number of patients we can treat.
Young parents who are interested in this service are free to call the FNC booking line (contact information below) for more information or to make an appointment (space is limited and reserved for low-income families).

The Most Wonderful
Dan Patch never lost a race. But that's not how he made his owner a multi-millionaire. America's best-loved horse was also perhaps the most shrewdly marketed animal of all time.
July/august 1990 | Volume 41, Issue 5
"Jogging down the track past the stands after an exhibition against time, Dan had a way of nodding his head toward the spectators as if acknowledging the cheers of his public."
When souvenir hunters yanked hairs out of Dan's tail, the stallion didn't flinch. When bands played—a common occurrence on Dan Patch Days—he seemed to actually savor the sound. One I winter Dan was in residence in the barn behind Savage's home near downtown Minneapolis when it caught fire. "Dan was led out with fire and smoke on both sides," said Harold Savage, "and it didn't seem to bother him a bit. He was calmer than anyone."
"He is just the best dispositioned fellow in the world," Myron McHenry said in 1902. "He never gets the blues nor loses his temper… I have driven him in the most noisy parts of New York, amidst the rumbling of cable cars and elevated railways, and I never saw him make the slightest movement of a muscle in fear or alarm. A child could drive that horse."
And Harold Savage was the lucky child who did. Until his death in 1977 Will Savage's younger son loved to tell the story of Dan being hitched to a cutter on Christmas Eve, with Harold driving the pacer around the deserted, snowy city streets, delivering presents. "I remember the candles in each window," he said, "and how the children would run out and follow Dan and me."
Dan had fans who were famous themselves, or would be: Lillie Langtry once arranged to have her personal railroad car stop close to Dan's, so she could walk over and visit the champion. A young Missouri boy named Harry Truman wrote Dan a fan letter, and Dwight Eisenhower went to see him pace at the Kansas State Fair.
Dan took special notice of photographers. "Every time you pointed a camera at him," recalled the Minneapolis photographer George Luxton, "he seemed to sense that he should look pretty. In fact, it was almost impossible to get a profile of him. Finally, I got Harry Hersey … to stand out in front and call Dan by name. When Dan would look at [Hersey], I'd snap the picture."
"To the men who have studied and known him during his life," wrote Merton E. Harrison in the introduction to his Autobiography of Dan Patch , "it seems that his intelligence must be almost human. … The work of his caretakers, trainers, and drivers has always been high class, but it has always been supplemented by the self-esteem, care and thoughtfulness of the horse himself. Dan Patch has come to be spoken of as 'the horse that knows.' "
Myron McHenry was the best sulky driver in the country, but that didn't stop Will Savage from firing him at the end of the 1903 season. The driver had complained publicly about Dan's being turned into an advertisement icon, the centerpiece of what he called Savage's "circus." For his part, the teetotaling Savage didn't approve of McHenry's drinking and associates. (Anyone who went to work at Savage's stock farm had to swear to his personal sobriety and his abhorrence of unclean language. If an employee was heard to have had alcohol or to have been cursing, even off duty, he was promptly discharged.)
Savage immediately put his trainer Harry Hersey in Dan's driver's seat. Mersey didn't let Savage down; he drove Dan through one record after another, including a stellar world-record 1:551/4 mile in Lexington in 1905. But many turf experts, and ordinary people, speculated that Dan would have done even better with McHenry.
'This I can say for [Hersey]," wrote Harrison in the peculiar and engaging "autobiography" in which the newspaperman spoke as Dan himself. "He was industrious and his theory and work in preparing me were masterful. He never asked of me more than I was physically fit to do. But when it came to driving me almost any one could have done as well. I never felt the love for him that was inspired by my first driver [Johnny Wattles] nor the confidence in his ability and courage that I felt when McHenry was up behind me. Perhaps I am an egotist but 1 have always resented the oft-repeated statement that 'Hersey made Dan Patch.' My honest opinion is that Dan Patch made Hersey."
Nevertheless, the exhibition Dan and Hersey put on at the Minnesota State Fair on September 8,1906, was extraordinary, the "I-was-there" brag of a whole generation of Midwesterners. Dan had arrived on the fairgrounds at Hamline, north of St. Paul, the weekend before the fair opened, but Hersey didn't allow the public in to look at him before his exhibition mile on Monday, the third. That afternoon Dan came out before the forty thousand plus spectators and paced a mile that for another horse would have been a miracle, but for him was merely workaday—1:56½. Everyone was happy to see him set a new fair record, but there had to have been some disappointment at his time. So fair officials exercised their option of having Dan appear a second time, on Saturday. At midweek ads appeared in the local papers:

MADONNA in MANILA, It\'s About Time!!!
In 2006, the one and only Queen of Pop, MADONNA will embark on another widely anticipated worldwide tour. Reportedly, this would be a relatively scaled down production compared to her previous spectacular shows and that she intends to play to smaller venues for a more intimate vibe with her audience. There are even whispers that she is very much willing to visit places she hasn\'t been to yet. Filipino Madonnistas have been waiting for more than 20 years for an opportunity to witness MADONNA\'s spectacle first hand and it is about time that Her MADGEsty grace our land with her divine presence. This petition is being circulated to gather as many Filipinos to signify their support for this noble pursuit. We need to come together and express ourselves and let our voices be heard by our Mother Madonna. Who knows, this might just be what she needs to decide to visit Manila as part of her 2006 tour If not, may she decide to visit a neighboring Asian country so we can also have a better chance to fly just to watch the show. We\'ve waited a long time... We\'ve ached for her enough... We\'ve got to do our part... So SIGN UP!!!
Is there a cause you really care about? Start a free petition like this one and make a real difference.

Things Better at Genworths Mortgage Insurance Unit
Genworth Financial's global mortgage insurance division had net operating income of $131 million in the fourth quarter, but the U.S. component reported a $34 million loss.
This represents an improvement in its MI business, as company president and CEO Tom McInerney said the U.S. MI operation continued its recovery in the fourth quarter. These results compare to net income for global MI of $56 million in 3Q12 (loss of $38 million for U.S. MI) and a loss of $13 million in 4Q11 (loss of $96 million for U.S. MI).
Genworth announced a corporate reorganization in January that separates its mortgage insurance lines from its life insurance lines.
For the full year, global mortgage insurance earned $202 million, compared with a 2011 loss of $185 million. The U.S. MI business improved to a loss of $140 million, from a loss of $513 million in 2011.
Genworth Financial earned $166 million in 4Q12, as its life insurance division had operating income of $76 million and its corporate and other division lost $40 million.
The global MI results for the most recent period include a $78 million gain from the new Government Guarantee framework in Canada. The change eliminated exit fee obligations and the gain is Genworth Financial's share. Genworth owns 57.5% of Genworth MI Canada, which is separately traded. (Genworth Mortgage Insurance Co. holds 16.7% of Genworth Financial's ownership interest in Genworth MI Canada, a move that was made to bolster capital.)
During the quarter the U.S. MI business wrote $5.1 billion of primary new insurance, up from $4.7 billion in 3Q12 and $3.2 billion in 4Q11.
Total flow delinquencies of 66,340 for 4Q12 represent a 4% decline from the third quarter and 21% from the same period in 2011.
The combined risk-to-capital ratio was 30.4-to-1, with the ratio at Genworth Mortgage Insurance Co. estimated to be 36.9-to-1.
When Genworth Financial implements its business reorganization, the company expects GMICO's risk-to-capital ratio to fall by 12 to 15 points. Part of the plan has already been undertaken, which is transferring the European MI business to GMICO on Jan. 31. It increased the statutory capital of the MI by $230 million and if it had been in place on Dec. 31, 2012, the risk-to-capital ratio would have been reduced approximately 12 basis points.
Genworth MI Canada had 4Q12 net operating income of C$226 million ($226.4 million); without the reversal of the accrual, it would have earned C$89 million ($89.16 million).
The unit had net premiums written of C$117 million ($117.2 million), C$61 million ($61.1 million) less than in the third quarter and C$6 million ($6 million) less than 4Q11.

Put Procrastination On A Shelf
Deadlines are a writer's friend, and I desperately needed one if I was to transform an octopus of a research project into a finished story. Analyzing my mother-in-law's old book, The Mine Foreman's Handbook, for heirloom status had proven to be a daunting task.
The editor of my local genealogical society newsletter reminded me each time I visited their library of my promise to contribute a story. This past spring I committed to pressing "send" by the summer solstice. And the account of Martin Corrigan's book flowed out, line by line by line.
I urge all you family history lovers to venture out from tree shaping and blog posting. We all have some big stories to tell. Find a genealogical or historical society near you and make friends with their newsletter deadline.
Here is an excerpt of Inside Out: Judging a Book By Its Cover, which begins on page 11 of the summer issue of Northeast Pennsylvania Genealogical Society's newsletter, The Heritage.
51-The Heritage Summer 2016, Northeast Pennsylvania Genealogical Society
"In 1887 Martin Corrigan was granted a Certificate of Service by the Pennsylvania Mine Foreman Examining Board, an alternative certification which recognized men who had served as mine foremen for at least one year prior to the 1885 Mine Safety Act9 . Martin Corrigan did not own this book in order to take the Mine Foreman Exam himself. Martin may have originally purchased the book for his own private library, consulting its contents in his role as mine boss for Augustus S. Van Winkle's Milnesville collieries. But Martin also loaned this book out. The words "Please Return" were found inside the front and back covers, and on one of the first pages someone inscribed the words: Martin Corrigan No. 90 North Wyoming Street Hazleton."
Sometimes You Can Go Home
On May 28, 2016 I drove through the rolling landscape of north central Pennsylvania to the New York border. I drifted west over winding backroads until I hit the outskirts of an ancestral home. Along the banks of Cryder Creek, Whitesville contains the memories of pioneering people, including the White and Teater families, from which I am descended.
In the late 1810s, Samuel followed his father-in-law, John Teater, to the farmland that became Independence Township, Allegany County. His wife, Nancy, was a teacher and helpmate to every endeavor that Samuel undertook, which included the raising of seven children and the building of a hamlet's first hotel in 1827. Samuel was a farmer, cattle dealer, a shop keeper, an innkeeper; he served his community as town clerk, postmaster, and town supervisor. With time the hamlet took on the name Whitesville.
Folks of Independence Township had long believed the oral tradition of how their town got its name. Roger Easton, Independence historian, led the effort to formally attribute the village's name to Samuel White's life and legacy. That last Saturday in May several descendants gathered at Lot 50, site of the White Hotel, and unveiled the Legends and Lore highway marker.
Thank you so much, Roger and all the supporters of the Independence Historical Society for your dedicated efforts (and for lunch)!!
Namesakes: Francis Marion Minor
I have always been curious about the name of my 2nd great-grandfather, Francis Marion Minor. Neither Francis nor Marion makes an appearance among family tree leaves until his birth in 1828, a strange happenstance in an era that often confounds modern genealogists with its generation-lapping of names. So what's up with John Pierson and Isabella McClelland Minor in 1828?
An area newspaper, the Washington Reporter (Washington, PA) carried the musings of a Mr. Sample on its front page in January 1825 about Brigadier General Francis Marion. The South Carolinian was known among American Revolution veterans as the Swamp Fox for his daring guerrilla tactics against the British forces occupying the southern coast. His movements against a superior force were credited with forcing the redcoats' evacuation. And during the 1820s General Marion was still being remembered as a prominent revolutionary hero, comparable in intelligence, benevolence, and bravery to the illustrious General George Washington.
John and Isabella were raising their children where they had been raised, in Greene Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania, just outside the village of Garards Fort–an area developed by the revolutionary generation. As those community members aged, and began to die out, there was a heightened sense of that generation's role in the country's freedom and enfranchisement. To honor and commemorate the grit and determination of their predecessors, parents named their children for people they had never known but would always admire. And that is how I think my great-great-grandfather got his name–Francis Marion Minor (1828-1918).

PRESS RELEASE: Alabama Republican Liberty Caucus Forms
The Small-Government Wing of the Republican Party Starts Chapter in Alabama
(Birmingham, AL - April 5, 2009) The national Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC) has officially recognized the Alabama Republican Liberty as their newest state chapter. The RLC's organizational mission "is to recruit and endorse candidates who support the RLC's agenda, elect limited government Republicans to political office, and change the direction of the Republican Party to reflect our vision of peace and prosperity."
Some current officeholders endorsed by the RLC include congressmen Jeff Flake, John Shadegg, Tom McClintock, Dana Rohrabacher, Ed Royce, Mike Pence, Roscoe Bartlett, Jim Jordan, Adrian Smith, Jimmy Duncan and Ron Paul. This list also includes Nevada Senator John Ensign and South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford. As the Alabama RLC begins operations, two founding members are Madison City Councilman Tim Cowles and former Birmingham City Councilman Jimmy Blake.
The Alabama Chapter of the RLC is chaired by Birmingham attorney Scott Boykin. Boykin is a member of the Jefferson County Republican Party Executive Committee. He received his B.A. from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and his Ph.D. in Political Science from Tulane University. He taught political science for the Department of Government at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and has published scholarly papers in the fields of political philosophy and law. He earned his J.D., summa cum laude, from the University of Alabama School of Law. Following law school, he served as a Judicial Clerk to The Honorable Patrick E. Higginbotham, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Today, Boykin has a litigation practice in Birmingham. He resides with his family in Birmingham and serves on the Vestry of Christ Anglican Church there.
"We are here to return the Republican party to the principles of limited government that made our country great," said Chair Boykin. "We've established a great team which is deeply committed to the restoration of our founding constitutional principles. We've hit the ground running and Alabama will see a lot from us in the future."
Other key players in the Alabama RLC are Secretary Shana Kluck and Media Director Stephen Gordon. Not only is Kluck a homeschooling mother of four, but she's the President of the Alabama Republican Assembly, served as National Homeschooling Coordinator and Alabama Field Coordinator for Ron Paul's presidential campaign, and works from her home as a Web 2.0 consultant. Kluck resides in Vance and serves both on the Tuscaloosa County and state Republican Party executive committees.
Gordon is a veteran of many political activities in both the Republican and Libertarian Parties. He's worked as national Communications Director and Political Director for the LP. A short list of the candidates for whom he's worked includes Oliver North, Bob Barr, Joel Montgomery and Ron Paul. Gordon lives in Hartselle and works a political consultant.
Founding and initial members of the Alabama RLC include attorney and RLC treasurer Leon Story, attorney Ted Pearson, political consultant George Oldroyd, physician Ken Varley, business consultant Tom Byars, noted organist Charles Kennedy, attorney Carolynn Moore, private investigator Rick Needham, Madison councilman Tim Cowles, physician Deborah Gordon, businessman George Barry and physician Jimmy Blake.
Members of the organization are actively promoting several pieces of legislation facing the Alabama Legislature this year, including two eminent domain reform bills, REAL-ID reform, and a State Sovereignty Resolution. Quite a few RLC members are active in the planning of "Tea Party" rallies to be held across Alabama (and the nation) on April 15th.
"As the legislative season winds down and election season kicks in, we'll be focusing more of our efforts on candidates," said Media Director Stephen Gordon. "We've already had some candidates contact us and we are in the process of contacting others. Additionally, we'll be distributing our Liberty Pledge to each Republican state legislator and other elected officials across the state."
Additional information about the Alabama Republican Liberty Caucus may be found at www.ALRLC.org.

text: When a person lacking legal documentation indicating their age applies for asylum in Sweden, age determination may be used to verify or refute the age-statement made by the asylum-seeker. According to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, everyone under the age of eighteen has extended rights to social services and protection, including a right to good quality health care, and the right to primary education [1]. In addition, unaccompanied minors seeking asylum in the EU have the right to a legal guardian, cannot be detained unless it is for their own safety, and cannot be deported to their country of origin unless it is deemed to be in the best interest of the child and a safe reintegration process is in place [2] (ref - see note). Thus an asylum-seekers status as a minor may have a significant impact on their application for asylum in Sweden.

In a career spanning nearly 40 years, Robert Karnes appeared in a great many television series, but is likely best remembered for his work in the Western and crime genres. His early resume boasted small parts in such celebrated films as 1949's "All the King¿s Men," and he was also memorable as ruthless meatpacker scion Brock Stevens, who looks to rip off cattlemen in 1950's "Hills of Oklahoma." In '59, after working in movies and television for well over a decade, he landed one of his first recurring roles, in the crime series "The Lawless Years," as Max Fields, partner of main protagonist Barney Ruditsky. Around this time, he appeared in episodes of the mystery series "Perry Mason" as Deputy D.A. Chamberlin, and would work with actor Raymond Burr again in his '60s crime series "Ironside." He was a regular in Western-themed shows throughout his lengthy career, and starting in the late '50s began guest-starring in some of the more popular oaters of his day, including "Gunsmoke," in which he played several different characters. This carried over to the next decade, in which he appeared in "Bonanza," among others. At the end of the '70s, he played Sheriff King in several episodes of "The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries."

His blessings upon my life flow -
No matter where I am
or wherever I happen to go.
Overcoming the curse of Mankind,
is a consuming, infinite Love
from the One declared divine.
As I continue inside His Will,
sheltered by Sacrificial grace,
His many promises are fulfilled.
Truly blessed, to be a blessing
is simple for anyone to see -
As I'm fully submerged… in God's covering.
